Please help me! is it possible to CROP to change aspect ratio

this might not be possible.
so as some of you probably know, i borrowed a high end camera and shot a project, not knowing the stupid letterbox option was on, which, essentially doesn't make it 16 9, just 3:2 with block boarders. its essentially the "optical zoom" equivalent of the camcorder world and i don't even know why its an option. but anyways...
what i have is standard 3:2 DV footage with black strips along the top and bottom, making it 16:9 in shape. the actual image itself is perfect 16:9 ratio....is there anyway that anyone can think of where i could crop this footage to a 16:9 size exporting, not resizing? hypothetically speaking, the actual image minus the bars on my 3:2 footage is 16:9. there has to be a way to get rid of those stupid bars by cropping.
i changed my Sequence settings to HD 720 16:9 and scaled up the image to fit, and it fit perfectly, but i feel like the scaling is making me lose quality. (does what i just explained make sense?)
if anyone can help it would be hugely appreciated, thanks for putting up with me
mike

Mike - sorry about confusing you about HD. Let's drop that for now.
Here -- take 5 minutes looking at this. Should explain what I'm talking about. Not EXACTLY what you want to do, but the part about putting 4:3 into 16:9 is the same idea.

How to crop without changing aspect ratio/Crop mode

Is there a way to crop in Lightroom without changing the aspect ratio? That is my first question.
My second question, is it better to use APS-C crop mode on my full frame Sony A7R if I know at the focal length I'm gonna crop, or just take it full frame and crop in the software? Are there disadvantages to this when it comes to uses flash's etch?
Third, Currently I do not have a portrait lens as the Sony A7R is new and does not have many lenses out yet. Until the 90mm lens comes out I was thinking I could use the Zeiss 55mm 1.8 in Crop mode for a portrait lens. That would make it around 88mm would it compress the background nicely the way an 85mm lens normally does for portraits?

This is what I usually do, now I know for sure my aspect ratio has been locked. As far as shooting in crop mode though, what I meant about that is this; For portraits, if you take a 55mm and shoot a portrait with it, the background doesn't look that compressed, which I like. Even if it's at a good F stop. It'll be out of focus, but not "compressed" And seems to show more flaws in the person. This is why with my Canon I always used my 85mm or my 100mm. I know some who will only use a 200mm due to this type of compression that happens at longer focal lengths.
If I was to shoot in crop mode, making it 88mm, would it give me that affect? The compressed look I get from a 85mm? Or would it simply just crop it like I do in post and not really make a difference.
Sony has yet to come out with a portrait lens and I need one bad, I've been offered little jobs here and there and can't take them because I don't want to disappoint them. I'm waiting for their 90mm, because that is close the 100mm and 85mm I shot with on the 5D for portraits.
Not to same the subject here but, 'Benjamin Root Photography,' has been a great help to me on this forum. I also torn between getting the 16-35mm F/4, or the new 24mm F1.4 prime, for wide landscape shots, because landscape and hiking is where I do most of my photography.
I don't plan on actually shooting a landscape at 1.4, but if it's 1.4 that means if I stop it down to F 8 on a landscape it'll be tact sharp. But it is not a Zeiss and is only going to cost 500. On the other hand, there is the 16-35mm, still I'd shoot around F 8 or even higher for landscape, the problem is, if it's F/4 won't that mean it'll have to stop down much further than the 24mm to get a sharper picture?
I don't guess I can go telephoto, like anything over 100mm because I have the A7R. People say over 100 mm it has shutter vibration, so at 200 or 300 I wouldn't buy until the A7R ii comes out. I'm not willing to get the regular A7 ii because I really like the advantage of having all those megapixels for cropping purposes, and it just plain looks better. Which is why I took my Sony A7 back for the A7R. Everyone was saying the photo's were more impressive than the 5D Mark iii's with the Zeiss 55 1.8 vs 5D with 50 1.4L. That wasn't really the case with the A7, but when I got the A7R I seen a HUGE difference in dynamic range.
I've heard the A7 is better at focusing than the A7R, but since I switched to the A7R I have noticed literally no difference. But I don't shoot fast moving subjects.
With both cameras I notice the face detection and EYE AF is hard to get to work properly. If I let it auto focus fully It'll focus on the wrong thing a lot of times even though the green boxes say the right thing.
So, I have been putting it on a single point, keeping it at the center, focusing on the eye, and then recomposing. That's mostly how I did with the 5D anyway. I never allowed it to choose focus points for me either.

Using crop to change aspect ratio, but now is there a way to shift the footage without moving the cropped area?

Hi guys!
I'm new and not sure if this is the correct way to go about this. I am using the crop tool to achieve 2.35:1. But is there a way to transform my footage "beneath" the cropped area or do I always have to create a composition in AE and put a black bar layer on top?
Thanks in advance!

I would create the black bars in the title designer and put that on the highest video track of your sequence.

How to download a .txt file correctly. Please help as soon as possible!

Hi everybody,
I need to implement download that prompts the user to save a txt file.
If I use "attachment" in response.setHeader, my IE 5.50 crashes after downloading 4 to 6 files consecutively.
I tried to change the response.setHeader to "inline" and the response.setContentType to "application/zip" or "application/UNKNOWN", and although it works in IE 5.50, my IE 5.00 never prompts asking to save the file, it always opend the file into the browser window, and I need a prompt.
I saw many questions related with this problem in this forum, but none that answered accurately to this problem.
Please help as soon as possible, I dont have much time to do this.
Thank you very much.

Thank you gypsy617 for your reply, but it still does not work!
I made all the changes to
1)res.setContentType("application/x-download");
2)res.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filename);
3)OutputStream out = res.getOutputStream();
4)returnFile(filename, out);
5) and i sent the file content as bytes
But the real problem is regarding the "attachment" option !!!
In my application, in the same page, there are a lot of links that users can download, each one a link that calls a action. It works well for the first downloaded file, for the second, ..., and then, when we try to download the file number 4 or 5, IE says that there is a problem and it must close (and it asks us to send a report - something like "Exception Information Code:0xc0000005 Flags:0x00000000 Record:0x0000000000000000 Address:0x0000000077a7710a").
I know that the problem is the "attachment" because if I choose "inline", IE never crashes. But i really need a Save As dialog, the txt files cannot be openned into the browser window, so i cant use inline.
Any idea?
Thank you.

Can vmware run on Boot Camp?Please Help as soon as possible

I recently installed vista ultimate through vmware, but is it possible in any way to boot this vista OS I installed through vmware fusion through boot camp?
Please help as soon as someone finds a certain answer.
Thanks

Running Windows (Vista or XP) is somewhat slower in virtualization than in BootCamp. If this is an important issue for you - and particularly if you are going to be running programs that benefit from fast screen updates - then you want BootCamp. If you need BootCamp then install it and afterwards install VMWare Fusion and use the BootCamp installation rather than a virtualized disk.
If you are satisfied with the performance of virtualization there is no benefit from having BootCamp installed in terms of running VMWare. This is a disadvantage though - you have to shut down, you cannot save an instance, at least with version 1. I haven't downloaded version 2 to see if this has changed. It is much faster to resume an instance than to restart Windows and then your applications.

My itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

my itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

i think i might have a solution... i have windows vista and after i installed to latest itunes update everytime i tried to open it it would freeze. I tried everything, including uninstalling itunes and all of its components and reinstalled it numerous times. So i went to the itunes folder in my folders, not on itunes, and i deleted my itunes library and playlists. After that it worked just fine, all of my music was deleted but luckily i had my files saved elsewhere.
I hope this helped! I know its frustrating and APPLE/ITUNES NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM!!!!

Is my iPod ruined? Please help as soon as possible!

Help! Earlier today I loaded a few songs from my iPod and then did not do anything with it for a couple of hours. I went to listen to it and my iPod would not start. I plugged it into my computer but my computer will not say it is plugged it. My iPod screen will not turn on. I have tried to reset my iPod and the Apple Logo will not appear. I have tried to Restore but it says "Please Plug in iPod". The Hold Button is off, also. What is wrong with my iPod? I have combed through the Help boards but they just say to do the 5 "F's". What should I do? Is it ruined? It's not even seven months old! Please help!!

I upgraded to an Ipod after my shuffle had to be returned and NOW I am a little frustrated with this latest hiccup. So, after diconnecting my ipod from a PC, after charging it, there was all of a sudden no "Menu"- the ipod could play music but I couldn't see anything on the screen. Yes, I tried to reset (hold off and on, etc) then reinstall software and then restore to original settings. Thought this would solve the problem but NOW I cannot transfer the songs from itunes to my ipod. Every time I do I get an error message that says: "The Ipod cannot update. The disc could not be read from or written to." SO I have no music and I cannot see anything on the screen. Nada.
Help, I love my Ipod!

PLEASE HELP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! Why did my word document become/turn into a Microsoft Messenger file?

I need to open an incredibly important document... but somehow, and I have absolutely not a clue as to why, it "became" a Microsoft Messenger file. In other words, I click on the document, and Messenger opens up. What the heck happened and how do I recover this file?!?!!? I don't even have a Messenger ID, so I am not sure if I should make one. Please help. Thank you very much in advance.

Hi,
You have the desktop version of Reader/Acrobat DC but posted the question in the wrong forum. This forum (All Communities > Reader/Acrobat DC for mobile) is for the mobile version.
On your Windows computer, please try opening the PDF document in other non-Adobe PDF viewers to see if the picture turns gray. You can even drag and drop your PDF document to Google Chrome (web browser) to open it.
If most of the PDF viewers that you tried show the gray box, you can conclude that the PDF document (generated by Microsoft Word 2013) itself is faulty. It means that Microsoft Word 2013 has bug(s) in converting Word to PDF.
I'd recommend visiting the Microsoft Word 2013 Support site to get answers.

Please Help Urgently to refresh the report on the change in data

We want to refresh report at runtime for the Drill Down report if any user changes the Data. We changes the data from the form which is called from the report and we want to this effect on the report on the prompt.
Is there any method to close the report while it is in the queue of Background Engine? Can we refresh the report ? Please help urgently.
Thanks in Advance.

Pritesh,
Reports goes out to the database and fetches the data (not a snapshot) and returns the information, formats it and displays it. The only way to refresh, is to rerun the report.
If your are running from the server, you need to make sure you are not fetching from cache (you determine this from destype and set the life of the cache in the servername.ora file).
I am unaware of any way to programatically close the report once displayed. The user must take action to close the report (unless you call the operating system to kill the display). When you rerun the report from Oracle Forms, you will get fresh data.
Regards,
The Oracle Reports Team jls
