Noob resize question

My apologies in advance if this an "easy one" that I missed, but I'm trying to resize a video clip (ideally I'd like to simply "crop" the video, but at this point I'll take resizing the height and width - BEFORE I get to the Encoder). I've done it in After Effects, but how does one do this in Premiere Pro? I'm on CS4.
Thanks again,
Rich

Resize question for gallery

I need to run a slide show in "kiosk" mode where the image
takes up as much of the screen as possible. The screen will be set
to 1024 x 768, so basically I need to make sure the images either
show at 100% because they fit, or reduced to about 85% because I
know some of them are too big for kiosk mode.
We are hoping to avoid having to create a sub-library of
images that are resized down to 85%.
Yes, I know resizing in the browser will cause degredation,
but the max size of each image was decided on before we dreamed up
the kiosk mode. So, new images going forward will be resized to the
right size, but we can't resize the existing ones.
QUESTION: Can Spry handle the task of resizing an image to a
max height? Or can it only spit out what I put in?

Hi dbonneville,
If your XML has the image widths and heights embedded in it,
you can use an onPostLoad observer on the data set to run through
each row of the data set to constrain the image width/heights to
the proper dimensions.
Something like this:
var dsPhotos = new Spry.XMLDataSet("photos.xml",
"/gallery/photos/photo");
dsPhotos.addObserver(ConstrainPhotoDimensions);
function ConstrainPhotoDimensions(notificationType, notifier,
data)
if (notificationType != "onPostLoad")
return;
var maxWidth = 200; // Change this to whatever you want.
var maxHeight = 200; // Change this to whatever you want.
var rows = dsPhotos.getData(true);
var numRows = rows.length;
for (var i = 0; i < numRows; i++)
var row = rows[ i ];
var w = parseInt(row[ "@width" ]);
var h = parseInt(row[ "@height" ]);
var ratio = (w > h) ? ((w <= maxWidth) ? 1 :
maxWidth/w) : ((h <= maxHeight) ? 1 : maxHeight/h);
row[ "@width" ] = w*ratio;
row[ "@height" ] = h*ratio;
--== Kin ==--
P.S.
I just typed that in real-time, so I haven't actually tested
it in a real browser.

Jpeg resize question:

As it's been suggested, resizing photos for an SD project to 1000 X 750 pixels seems to work quite well, yielding nice videos.
However, is there a suggested size for reducing images to be used in a widescreen HD projects that some will in turn be cropped to 16 x 9 to fit the screen?
Thanks,

P1965
What version of Premiere Elements do you have and on what computer operating system it is running?
What are the original pixel dimensions of your photos? How many of them will be in use in the Premiere Elements project?
Is the Premiere Elements Timeline destined for DVD-VIDEO Widescreen on DVD disc, AVCHD format on DVD disc, or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc?
The classical response to photo sizing is often seen as SD not to exceed 1000 x 750 (landscape orientation) and HD not to exceed must more than 1920 x 1080. But, with versions like 10, 11, or 12 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, those recommendations, I believe, can be stretched somewhat depending on the level of computer resources and number of photos involved. But, remember, that however high the resolution is, the end product will have the resolution inherent in the end product specifications.
If photos are 3:2 and destination is a 16:9 one, I would go for cropping and resizing before import into Premiere Elements. If photos are 16:9 and destination is a 16:9 one, then I would go with resizing before import into Premiere Elements.
Pending further developments, I would look at photos 1920 x 1080 brought into a Premiere Elements 11 or 12 project with project preset manually set for
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR 1080p 30 @ 29.97
or
its PAL counterpart
And, then the burn to disc to DVD-VIDEO Widescreen on DVD disc, AVCHD format on DVD disc, or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc.
Please review. Any questions or need clarification on anything written, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

Noob Flex Questions - Run Application

Hi All
I am trying to learn Flex 4 and having a question.
When I download the sample files from Adobe website, I tried to open the files in Flex but it told me that I have to select
New -> Flex Proejct -> Assign the file folder location to create a new Flex project. Then I created one with my own project name.
Flex then created a new src folder with my new project name.mxml file. "THE FILE I WANT TO OPEN IS ON THEIR ORIGINAL FOLDER NAME." like
Flex src or whatever the author created. I tried to run their mxml file, but the "Run Application" is grey out??!!. Why? I have to moved the mxml to my src folder? It seems dumb to me that I have to do this to open an existing project. Besides, if there is a subfolder with another subfolder under Flex src folder, when I moved them to my src folder, it created subfoldername.anothersubfoldername under my src (instead of subfolder/anothersubfolder that the original author created). I know it might be a noob question, but what is going on here? I cant' even get the existing project running.........Thanks for any helps...

Hi,
Your question is a bit confusing but here is a fundimental principle in Eclipse.
Every project has;
MyProject
- bin
- src
- MyApplication.mxml
- html-template
- libs
The 'src' folder holds all runable/compilable code actionscript classes and mxml components/applications.
The only thing Flash Builder will run is a mxml file that subclasses s:Application or mx:Application or any subclass of them.
Flash Builder will not 'just' run an mxml file. So if you get application samples from Adobe, you need to have them in the src folder and there needs to be a little green arrow in the top left corner. This means it's a registered application that you can run. The little blue dot in the top right corner means it's the default application that will run when you hit ctr-F11 or F11 or Run..
If you paste a file that IS an Application and cannot get it to run, you need to;
- make sure it's in your src folder
- right click an select Run As
- select Web Application
This will run the app baring no compiler errors. If the mxml file is not registered as an application, this action will also register it.
Hope that helps,
Mike

Interlaced footage and resize question

Ok I am finishing a past project of creating DVDs from VHS.
Ok I have my clips captured they are DV-DVCPRO NTSC. I used audio filters to remove the audio hum from the VCR.
I want to remove the black border from the side and top of the video. Now my question is if i scale the video to fit wont that offset up the fields.
I am expecting to have 60i footage when I'm done.
Should I use Shake and separate the fields resize then re interlace them.

It's like a public access studio where they videotape live talk shows and that kind of thing. Below is a photo of it. Analog basically means they're shooting and recording the footage in the studio in NTSC analog where the pictures are interlaced one line at a time. They're also recording the output onto some kind of capture box (I have no idea what kind). Afterward, they're exporting the footage to whatever file you need. The exports they gave me were MOV but I noticed that my Premiere kept crashing every time I tried to edit and then export a finished edit. So I took the MOV files and converted them to MP4, which now works fine in my copy of Premiere. Below (the second to last link) is the converted MOV to MP4 file that dropped into Premiere for editying.
Download the BENS and SIMON exports below:

Below is the converted MOV to MP4 footage I mentioned above:

Noobie Finder question?

Have searched without success in the forums.....How do you "move" a file or folder.
I need to move my iphoto folder to the /user/shared directory so I can make all the photos available to all my mac users.
I'm a noobie at Macs so forgive my ignorance. I only see a copy option?
Thx for all help:P

This is one of those seemingly simple questions... that isn't.
Moving a folder in OS X is simple enough - you drag it from one place to another. You can move your iPhoto library to a different location quite simply like this.
You can get iPhoto to find a library in a non-standard location (such as /Users/shared) by holding down the Option key while launching iPhoto.
The problem comes with granting the sufficient permissions to let both users read and write to the shared library.
In the older version of OS X it was fairly simple - Got Info on the library folder and changed permission (to give group Everyone read-write, if you were feeling a bit sloppy). With Leopard, Access Control Lists (ACLs) are also used for determining permissions and frankly, I'm not up to snuff on how these work with iPhoto. Perhaps someone with a bigger brain can help, or this may be useful:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050904072808460
FWIW, Apple recommends avoiding permissions problems by moving the shared library to a shared disk ( which ignores permissions)

Very simple Java AWT Frame resize question

In the following code, I create an awt Frame. Unfortunately, when I run the resulting Java application (on Windows) and use the mouse to resize the window, none of the Frame's resize/setSize methods get called. Can anyone explain why this is?
Thanks
Greg
import java.awt.* ;
public class Junk extends Frame {
public static void main (String args[])
Junk j = new Junk ();
j.show ();
public void resize(Dimension arg0)
super.resize(arg0);
public void resize(int arg0, int arg1)
super.resize(arg0, arg1);
public void setSize(Dimension arg0)
super.setSize(arg0);
public void setSize(int arg0, int arg1)
super.setSize(arg0, arg1);
}

When the user resizes the frame with the mouse, the resizing action probably happens entirely on the Frame's peer, without the java.awt.Frame getting involved at all. setSize() and [deprecated] resize() allow an application to programmatically change the size of a Frame, but the Frame just passes the new size to its peer.
If you want to detect when your Frame has been resized, use addComponentListener to register a component listener on the Frame, and then put your code in the componentResized method of the listener.

Photo resizing question

Hello, I'm using Lightroom 5 and have a question regarding the file size. A photo I took with a Nikon D90 was downloaded and is 5.7 mb, I processed it and some cropping and color corrections came out amazing, my question is this. The corrected size has been downloaded to a file but reduced to 622 kb, quite a bit smaller than the original. Was this done by an automatic setting? I'm asking because the corrected version is scheduled to be sent to a printer who is going to make some 8X10 color handout cards (the photo is of a race car) for the public and I was concerned that the quality might be different as the re-sizing. I've not heard back from the printer so I was trying to get some info about this issue. Thanks for any help that might be issued.

Exporting as a JPG will normally result in a decrease in FILE size, but not a reduction in IMAGE size. So, this is perfectly normal, and I don't see this as unusual or worrisome.
Furthermore, you are looking at the wrong measure. FILE size and megabytes tells you nothing, and will mislead you. Thus, I suggest to you that the comparison of going from 5.7 megabytes to 622 kilobytes is completely meaningless and useless. The IMAGE size, measured in megapixels, (or equivalently dimensions width x height) is what you need to be paying attention to. If you want to print at 8x10, and you use the "usual" level of quality of 300 pixels per inch, then you need 2400x3000 pixels (or more) in your exported photo. But you don't tell us what the IMAGE size is.

JFrame resizing question

When i resize a JFrame the components it hold remain unchanged until I stop resizing the frame. Then the components conform to the frame size. Is there a way to have the components resize dynamically?

Thank for the answer, that's exactly what I nedded!

Resizing questions

I have my own large format printer which accepts 54" wide rolls of media. I plan on printing a number of photos on canvas, and am wondering about a few things:
- If I wish to make a 40" x 30" print, what is the correct way to re-size the image in PhotoShop (CS6)? Out of my camera, the images are 4592 x 3448 px, so do I simply punch in 40" x 30" in the "Image Size" menu, and then select "Bicubic Smoother (for enlargement)"? (see attached image). Or should I just re-size the image in the RIP software?
- Some of the images were shot in Raw, but some as JPG. For the ones that were shot Raw, should I also save them as JPGs before printing, or is TIF better? My RIP will handle JPG, TIF, PDF, EPS.

regarding resizing, there are various upresizing applications out there, but none that do a great job IMO. Photoshop CC (due out 17th June) has what looks to be an excellent upsizing tool, but we need to try it for ourselves before deciding for sure how good it is. As it stands, you'd be printing at 115dpi which is not a total disaster, because no one is going to be getting up close to a 30x40 inch print. So go with what you have now; wait till the 17th and either invest in a CC subscription (or ask some one nicely to up size it for you). Of the apps currently available, On-One's Perfect Resize does an OK job. You could maybe download the trial version, but I don't know if it is fully fnctional.
Regards saving in a different format, I would gennerally tend to print the processed RAW file before I saved it, or save as a PSD. For the JPGs if you are going to do some processing and print later, then probably save as TIFF or PSD.

Resizing question for importing photos to ipod

hi
i was wondering if the ipod resizes images when i import them.
i used to resize them manually (in photoshop) for 720x480 before i imported onto the ipod through itunes.
now i have several hundred i want to load and they are 2272 x 1704 pixels and several megs apiece. so instead of batch resizing them in photoshop, i was wondering if itunes/ipod will resize and optimize the file size or does itunes/ipod resize the image for "display only" and keep the original file size the same. i would like to have the images optimized for disk space so i can put more photos and music on it
thanks

iTunes does optimise photos before they are transferred to the iPod (you can see a message in the window at the top of iTunes as it does it). It does not change the dimensions of the photos to fit the iPod screen, but it does reduce the resolution and file size. It also creates a very small version that you can see when there are multiple images on the iPod screen
If you select the option to include the originals in iTunes it will then store the original file, a version optimised for the iPod screen and the tiny little thumbnails as well.

[SOLVED]Noob source question

I was curious because every single video I've seen(I use video's to learn) on installing Arch is only about installing ArchBang, and when going through the install process they only seem to have to go through setting the clock, partitioning the harddrive, configuring the system and installing bootloader. So I was wondering if choosing the source is necessary if I am installing from USB?
Last edited by xworld (2012-07-22 02:18:34)

Have you read The Arch Linux Beginner's Guide? It is not recommended to install Arch by following any other method. Furthermore, if you're really installing ArchBang, rather than Arch Linux, you should ask about it on their fine forums - I'm not saying that's what you're doing, I'm just pre-empting the possibility, since you haven't said what iso you're using.
To answer your question about sources, is there any reason you can't first make a guess and then redo the install if things go wrong? You shouldn't use Arch Linux if you're not willing to experiment and hack.

Document Resizing question - InDesign CC

In previous versions of InDesign that I've used, if I had something centered on a 12" x 18" page (so centered at 6" x 9"), I could decide to change the document setup size to a different sized paper, for example 13" x 19". When I would do that, it would basically add 1/2" to all 4 sides evenly and my art would remain centered with a new point of 6.5" x 9.5". When I do this in InDesign CC, my artwork stays at the 6" x 9" and is no longer centered. Is there a preference setting or something I can do to fix this and make it add or subtract my new page size evenly to keep my art centerd??
I'm using a Mac, OS X 10.6.8.
Thanks in advance!

A discussion like this had been posted before, and as I do research, I also found out that some Adobe InDesign users is already aware of this. A related topic for this one is here:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5445588#5445588
And other website:
http://idsecrets.wpengine.com/resize-page-from-upper-left-corner.php
So, lets just hope that adobe include a fix for this since adobe is already working out an enhancement since InDesign CC is also sluggish compare to adobe InDesign CS6.

JButton wont resize - Question not Problem

Hi,
I'm wondering if you can give me the reason behind this behaviour.
If you add a button to a panel, then call setSize(), the button doesn't resize itself on the panel. I've tried setting the setPreferredSize method as well, but the button always stays as the size it was created.
I know there are work arounds, but how come you cant just set the size of a button on an empty panel?
Cheers
Dave

setSize(...) won't work, because the LayoutManager will override whatever you set. (Although setSize(...) is require when using a null LayoutManager).
setPreferredSize(...) should work. If it doesn't then you have something wrong with your program.

CS 5.5 3D resize question

I am using CS5.5 with Windows 7.
I just got it, loaded it this morning and went to play with 3D. It's fairly intuitive and I'll study more but I created some 3D images\objects and was placing them in a new psd each on their own layer.
I tried to resize the 3D objects within my new file and couldn't do it. I searched the forum for something on this and couldn't find anything definitive. All seem to point to the fact I have to determine my "final" size within the 3D creation. I want to place several 3D images into one psd.
Is there a way to resize outside of the 3D tool?
Thanks in advance for any help.

You could use the 3d Object Scale Tool.
3D section from the help manual:
