Make a video smaller within iMovie (not resize for export)

I am trying to fit a clip within another clip which has chroma keying. Video "A" is a video clip of people watching a TV screen. The screen portion of the TV has been chroma-keyed. Video "B" is the actual footage of the event. I want to fit video B within the simulated TV screen in video A. I know that Premier can resize videos but I am not sure if you can do that on iMovie.
Thanks,
FG

FinalCutExpress would allow that too, incl. making the insert perspective..
ok, iM:
no.
but a workaround... :
• create in any paint-app a black.jpeg (or any other color)
• add that to a new project
• add your 'TV signal' as pic-in-pic
• re-size * that … => now, your TV-signal is in right place and right size ..
• export project, re-import to your original project, use Greenbox to 'overlay' ..
to * find the right position, export a freeze from your original project to your paint app, add 'markers' ..
re-reading this let me assume, I should illustrate that .. I'll be back in a minute ..

  • Hello guys! Do you know how to make a video smaller on imovie? Not by size or trim, i mean simply show the video as small as possible in the middle of the screen! Please text back.

    Hello guys! Do you know how to make a video smaller on imovie? Not by size or trim, i mean simply show the video as small as possible in the middle of the screen! Please text back.

    Go to the Map, Background & Animatic Browser (last button in the centre tool bar alongside the Transition button). Drag the Black background (or any background) to your project. From an Event, drag the video selection directly onto the Black clip in the project. As you drop the video clip, a pop-up menu will appear. Select Picture in Picture.
    Your video will appear as a small picture within the black clip. Click on it and reposition it to the centre of the viewer, using the yellow guide lines to get the exact centre position. Resize the Picture in Picture if desired by dragging the corner handles.
    NOTE: You may need to extend the duration of the Black clip to match the duration of the video clip. Double-click on the Black clip to open the Inspector, then adjust the duration there.

  • How to make HD video smaller! HELP!

    OK...so I bought an HD camera and the quality is SICK!Almost a bit too sick...After I am done editing and I export using quicktime conversion to .MOV the video is HUMONGOUS!
    When I say humongous I do not necessarily mean the size of the file...I'm actually talking about the dimensions of the video.
    SO, how do I make the video smaller from FCE?...I mean the actual video's original size smaller (not how to zoom out on quicktime, that is obvious) I mean how to have the video size smaller.
    Thanks.
    -John

    There are way, way too many variables to answer that question. It's meaningless without knowing what your video is, action, dialog, animation, music, speech, one minute, one hour, and without knowing you're trying to do. People have written whole books on the subject of compression. You might try a google search for video compression. Look for what you're trying to compress for, where you're trying to get to.

  • Can i make a video and use an external mixer for the sound?

    can i make a video and use an external mixer for the sound with my ipod touch?

    You need a special plug to use the iPod's mic in for the headphone jack. If you compare a headphone plug for a set that includes a mic and one that does not you can see that there is a difference.

  • ARE1 creation error - "excise Invoice is not meant for Exports"

    Hello Experts
    We are working on ECC 6.0.
    We were so far dealing with domestic sales and now have to start with exports (ARE1)
    I've gone through many threads and all major configuration has been done according to J91 Block Builder. But I still have doubts.
    1. While doing billing for export sales, when should excise invoice be generated. When generated then should it posted with accounting entry?
    2. We've created a Running Bond & on test basis we have done billing and excise invoice (DLFC) has been generated along with billing.
    But when we try to create ARE1 (J1IA101) with reference to above Official excise invoice, we get the message 4F242 ( 00090006 / 2008 excise invoice is not meant for exports). We've noticed in table J_1IEXCHDR for the above excise 90006 that the field Export Type is blank which should otherwise be B (Export under Bond). We have updated manually in the table as B to test and we are able to move ahead.
    3. If we dont generate the excise with billing and try to do it in J1IIN, under utilisation even after changing the type from Local to Export only DEEMED Exports is highlighted in blue and could not be turned to BOND type.
    Please suggest.

    Dear Kapil
    when should excise invoice be generated
    Once you generate delivery related (document type F8) proforma or commercial invoice, you should generate excise invoice
    When generated then should it posted with accounting entry?
    No excise entries should not be posted to accounting for export sales
    excise invoice is not meant for exports
    First ensure that you have a separate series group for exports.
    Next in case of your Excise Invoice Type dont have any of the following, then system will throw that error
    -  Deemed export
    -  Export under bond
    -  Export without bond
    -  Export under Letter of Undertaking
    Check whether the excise invoice type is generated with any of the above
    thanks

    Dear Madhu,
    As per your thread system is telling that invoice is not relevant for the exports so,
    Please check the Excise invoice which you created is it relevant for expotrs or relevant for STO billing i.e domestic.
    I hope it will help you,

  • "Excise Invoice is not meant for Exports".

    Dear All,
    I am facing a problem while creating ARE1 for Export Sales.
    At the time of creation (Tcode - J1IA101), when i am giving the outgoing excise invoice number, in the given field, system is saying that "Excise Invoice is not meant for Exports".
    Whereas I have maintained seperate Series Group for Domestic as well as Exports.I have checked No.ranges as well, where I have found that, the Outgoing Excise invoice number is also maintained in the Number range Objects for Exports.
    Can anybody suggest how to resolve the issue.
    Rgds,
    Indrajit

    1.Check the Series Group is Maintained for Domestic and Exports
    2. Maintain the  number range in T.Code SNUM - Object "J_1IEXCEXP"
    3.Ensure that the excise invoice number you referred is created for an export billing document.
    4.Then go to J1IIN, check on the utilisation screen whether invoice type has been changed from Local to the respective export excise invoice.
    5. Maintain the Bond with T.code J1IBN01  respective Plant and the Value with from to date
    6. Cretae the ARE 1 through T.code J11A101 check the Excise Invoice No and the Amount
    7. Check the Excise duty(BED) , E cess and Hr Edu Cess value is apperaing if not you have apply the Snote .

  • Jerky videos with 30 fps not ideal for Europe with 25 fps?

    When I edit a video (720p 30fps) from my compact camera, Sony WX1, on the iMovie, the rendered video seems to be jerky. (especially if I follow a subject with the camera)
    When I edit a video (1080i 50fps) from my Sony Video camera, the edited video looks fine.
    Is this effect due to the fact that my video is rendered with 25 fps for European TV.
    Does anybody have a solution to my problem?
    Should I rather buy a compact camera that records with 25 or 50 fps instead of 30 fps?
    Any support is appreciated.

    I'm seeing similar problems as you when using my wife's digital stills camera (Canon IXUS 80IS). This records AVI video (640 x 480) at 30 fps. As I'm also in PAL country, I normally use the PAL 25fps setting for my iMovie '11 projects, which are mostly imported from my Sony HDR-SR7 AVCHD camcorder (PAL).
    However, to avoid the jerkiness when creating projects from the Canon footage, I now use the NTSC 30fps setting for clips from that camera. The exported project plays flawlessly on my MacBook Pro and also through my Western Digital TV Live HD Media Player connected to an LCD HD TV. When burning a DVD in iDVD you can choose to encode as PAL 25fps or NTSC 30fps. However I've found that the NTSC version doesn't always work with some DVD player/TV connections. So you will still see jerkiness if burning PAL versions, but these DVDs will at least work with all PAL equipment.
    If you don't intend burning DVDs but simply wish to view by other means (for example, computer, media player or web) it's quite OK to use the NTSC 30fps setting for your projects. These will play fine on sites such as YouTube, Facebook, MobileMe Gallery and similar places.

  • Covers not resizing for thumbnail view

    Hi,
    How/when/where does the thumbnail png file for ADE get created? I have some epubs ebooks that are not displaying correctly. Instead of the cover being resized for the thumbnail, it is being cropped. On other books, however, it works fine. I can't see the difference in the actual html of the ebook. I did verify that it is the actual png file in the ADE thumbnails folder that is incorrect.
    Help?

    Not a problem with it sounding snippy.  The key bit for you situation is was that it was rendering it at the thumbnail size (90x130, iirc), and as you found out it if your HTML was making some bad assumptions (usually in the size attributes for the image element) that it would be rendering in a larger viewport, that would be causing the cropping.
    What I didn't know is if it was your authored content or not, because if it wasn't then the easier fix is to just replace the thumbnail image in the  DE Thumbnails Directory.

  • Interactive form within WebDynpro not ready for input

    Hi,
    After building a simple interactive form with the form builder, I want to fill in the fields in the adobe form. The form is included in a ABAP web dynpro application as Interactive form and the enabled property is checked. But the form fields are still read only and not ready for input.
    The interactive form uses ZCI layout and an ABAP dictionary based interface. The menu item include scripting was hit and I can not fill in the fields. Instead I only see read only fields. When previewing the form in the forms designer, the fields are open.
    Please assist.
    Regards
    Ravikumar

    hi Ravikumar,
    The following code fragment shows how this input readiness can be set up:
    method WDDOMODIFYVIEW.
    data: LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM type ref to CL_WD_INTERACTIVE_FORM,
    LR_METHOD_HANDLER type ref to IF_WD_IACTIVE_FORM_METHOD_HNDL.
    check first_time = abap_true.
    LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM ?= VIEW->GET_ELEMENT(u2018INTERACTIVE_FORM_1u2019).
    LR_METHOD_HANDLER ?= LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM->_METHOD_HANDLER.
    LR_METHOD_HANDLER->SET_LEGACY_EDITING_ENABLED( abap_true ).
    endmethod.
    Hope this helps.

  • When I rearrange the order of my photos in an album, the order does not stick for exporting for a book.

    I manally rearrange my photos in an album, the order does not stick when I export to a folder in order to make a book.  Also, if I have given a title to a photo, it does not seem to export with the other pictures in an album.

    It's a little vague on what you're workflow is.  So I'll make a guess about the book: if you're dragging those photos into an iPhoto book they will be sorted by date.  So you would have to use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date (with 1 minute between photos) menu option on those photos in the album before dragging them onto the book icon.
    Photos exported to a folder on the hard drive will be sorted by the Finder either alphanumerically or chronologically.  To get them in the manual order that's in the album you'll need to rename them via the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Title to Text with a sequential number added to each photo.  Then export to the Desktop with the option to use the Title as the new File name.

    Picture in picture - is no a standard option in any version of iMovie.

    *You also can do this with QuickTime-pro.* But You need the disipline of an angle.
    Quoting:
    Klaus1 writes: As Bengt says, you can do this with Quicktime Pro. Here is how:
    Organize the video clips and/or stills that you want to superimpose on to your main video clip, by having these in separate, individual iMovie projects (no matter how small). It helps if these are in the exact length/time you want later.
    Now start with the clip in your iMovie project on to which you want to superimpose one of more smaller video clips or stills. Lets call it Main Clip. Export this (share) to Quicktime Pro in DV (full quality). make sure it has the same aspect as before (Quicktime tends to default to 4:3. If you want 16:9, read on).
    In Quicktime, with this project open, select File ~ Open File. Select the iMovie file (in your movies folder) of the first clip/still you want superimposed. This will open in its own QT window. Select Edit ~ copy. If it is a movie clip then select all ~ copy (or you will only get one frame!). Switch back to the Main Clip window, and click in the scroll bar where you want the extra clip/still to appear. Choose Edit ~ Add to Movie.
    You can repeat this as many times as you like, if you want to build a 'Video Wall', i.e. have several superimposed clips/stills on the same Main Clip.
    Do not worry that the new clip overlaps or covers up the Main Clip, at this stage.
    Choose Window ~ Show Movie Properties. The Properties Dialogue appears.
    You will see a list of video (and audio) tracks. Track one will be the Main Clip, track 2 your new added (superimposed) clip. Click track 2, then click visual settings. From the Scaled Size pop-op menu, choose percent. Then type 50 into the first box. If Preserve Aspect Ratio is turned on you won't need to type 50 into the second box. You have made the pasted footage appear at one quarter its original size. The inset is now hugging the top-left corner of the Main Clip. If you want, you can type numbers into the Offset Boxes to shove it away from that corner (there are 72 pixels to the inch).
    If your original Main Clip was required in 16:9, unclick (de-select) Preserve Aspect Ratio, and type in the relevant numbers in the two boxes, in Video Track 1.
    PAL (for Europe):
    Standard DV (4:3) 788 x 576
    DV Widescreen (16:9) 1050 x 576
    NTSC (for the USA):
    Standard DV (4:3) 720 x 528
    DV Widescreen (16:9) 874 x 480
    This will not affect video track 2, but if that is also wanted in 16:9 repeat for that track.
    You can superimpose, 3, 4, or more such 'overlaps' on the same clip, and spend a happy afternoon tapping away for each track in the Offset Boxes until you have got them all in the right place! You can even overlap them, if you can remember (or note down - hire a secretary to take notes) which track you want on top etc.
    Save the completed QT file. Import the completed file into a new iMovie project. Import this into the original iMovie project, substituting the old clip you copied to QT as Main Clip for the new fancy clip you have made.
    Have fun!
    END OF QUOTE !
    *My way:* When I started to need more than iMovie could offer I took a look into
    FinalCut Express and counting the sum of all Plug-ins needed and FCE I found out
    that FCE is a real bargin.
    • color-correction
    • blue/green screen
    • 99 video and audio tracks
    • slightly rotation a clip eg 1 deg - nice horizon
    • slightly or major scale up or down
    • and of cause Picture in pictures
    And so much more.

  • Nokia N8 - video streams within websites not suppo...

    Unfortunately it is not possible to view video streams that are embedded in webpages.
    Is there a way to overcome this problem / are there media player/ silverlight / quicktime plugins available for the n8 internet browser or will this be included in the expected browser upgrade???

     As you have already tried re-installing the Firmware and factory resetting the phone all I can suggest is that your C: and/or E: drives are running low on space. How much free space do you have on those drives?
     If they are running low try freeing up some memory by clearing out your messaging folders, Email folders and the browsers cache and privacy data. For the E: drive, you may want to move some of your media content to a PC or cloud storage service for safe keeping.
