Resize a clip

Is there a faster way to resize a clip to fit the ( Show Title Safe ).
What I do is shrink the clip down so I can see 2 or 3 clips at the same time and pick section that I want. Next I have to resize them back to normal size. I was want to know if there was a short cut or a hot key that resize it back to normal size?

Cmd-Opt-V brings up remove attributes. Check basic motion and click OK.

CS4/Win: markers are not moved after resizing a clip in timeline

Hello,
when I am resizing a clip in the timeline my markers after this clips in the same timeline are not moved, too.
Bug or feature?
If it is a bug: stilil

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

Ok, thanks
But there is a question left: bug or feature? I can't see an advantage of this behavior ... and no solution...
The same behavior in CS5, too?
Neither, is as designed.
CS5 is excactly the same.

What is the best technique to resize a clip and overlay it on a difficult shape, like a broken piece or mirror?

What is the best technique to resize a clip and overlay it on a difficult shape, like a broken piece or mirror?

Best would be cutting a matte in Photoshop, or as Mr. Grenadier suggests, using Motion or After Effects - but here is a way to do it staying within FCP - see if this helps:

What is the best way to resize a clip

What is the best way to resize a clip? I have some clips in 1280x720p and a B camera shot of the same person that was shot at 1440x1080p and I want to multi-edit them so they need to be the same size. Is there a way inside FCP to re-interpret the 1440x1080 to 1280x720 or do I have to Export them as smaller clips and re-import them? Just have a lot of clips so would be good to find a internal FCP way of doing it.

Well Zeb, again with the insults. If you had just stated simply "What codec" are you using that would have been fine. But instead you decided to insult me and assume I knew nothing.
FYI I started working with video in 1985 and was one of the first to use Digital Video in 1991 as a Software Developer. So I can assure you I know a lot about codecs and NLE having even written one once. One of the things I learned in IT was to always ask for the best route through a problem from the experts around you before wasting valuable time and money finding your own, and usually the dead-ends at that!
So there you go, next time I'll mention the codec and next time if you could be more polite then things will progress more smothely on here

06 IMovie question on resizing a clip

How do I resize a video clip from 600 to uner 100m? It's not even a minute long. I have Imovie, streemclip and quicktime softward. thanks

.. in case, you're speaking of the exported files size of an iM project, instead of using the few presets, choose Export/Quicktime/Expert settings .. and use any of the many options.. as 'resizing'/resolution to 320x240, diff. framerate, e.g. 15fps, different codec, e.g. h264, mp4, divx (if installed) ..

Crop or Resize Video Clip???

Hello everyone,
I'm new to iMovie and have been trying to figure out if it's possible to essentially crop a video clip. By crop I don't mean adjust the length of the clip, but actually crop/resize the video frame.
Here's my problem. I transfered some content from an old VHS tape to my DV camera, then imported it into iMovie. The bottom of the frame has a jittery/blurred edge and the right and left sides show a little black, almost like a border. I'd like to be able to crop and scale the video up so that it completely fills the frame and eliminates these unsightly edge problems.
I hope that makes sense.
Any thoughts???
Thank you!
-Rob

Hi Greg,
I hope, you don't take it as personal offense, that I contract you (do I "allways"..?)...- in case, apologize for that!
But
as ONE example: do you see the zilllions of posting "How do I import from dvd-cam/stillcam..."? Your answer would be"Can't be done!" << which is from the makers of iM indeed intended so! ... but, then your mentioned people tell about crappy Macs... So, I copy-'n-paste from my "notes" my standard answer "get for free Streamclip and..."
This is a board; different people, different opinions... some people posting here spend $$$$($) into hard- and software and don't even use the "help" function before posting here - far away from reading manuals, books, doing tutorials etc.pp.-
I totally agree in one point: I'm no technician, nor expert as Karl, Lennart, Matti, David or Dan, my "position" in this forum is more on the far side, for the workarounds, I do like the arcane, silly methods to make the impossible possible.- I'm a Mac user since '86, I experience the Mac as MY dream machine, allowing me to realize my creativity - on a pro level, it is my typewriter (no big specs neccessary) but I cannot spend much money into my hobbies (video, websites)... so I DO need these dirty tricks...
I post my experiences & methods here - it is up to you to share these methods.
or not.
In this case:
the OP has TWO questions: a problem with pic quality, and you (and I) gave him the hint: No Problem at all!
second, you gave the answer "cropping is impossible" - that is wrong. it is not needed, but it is possible, so, maybe in another project, maybe some other reader of this thread has use for such cropping...- the programmer of this plug-in shows examples on his website...-
if I want to take it easy with them, I would post 234times a day RTFM.........;-)

Noob Question 17: Resizing Multiple Clips?

Hi,
I looked at another discussion on -adding- dust and scratches to create a 'film' look. I downloaded a series of TGA files from the Stephen Gotz site. Great. But... The default length of each clip in the timeline is way too long. Is there a way to select all clips on a track and re-size them so that they are all still butted up against one another? IOW: I can re-size them en masse, but when I do that I end up with lots of space between them which I do NOT want.
TIA,
---JC

The main way, has been outlined, well actually two ways. Those work before Import.
To alter the Duration of the Clips in the Timeline (already Imported), press the Ctrl key, and click-drag the Tail of each to suit. Keep the Info Panel open, to see the new Duration. The Ctrl key will 'drag" your other Clips along with the change.
Good luck,
Hunt

Ability to both use Green Screen and then resize the clip?

Imovie 10 - the Green Screen works great. Place one clip above the other and presto. But then if you want to shrink it and put it say on the bottom corner, there in no way. It looks like you can either use the Green Screen or the PIP but not both.
This is a problem as say clip on is of a field of buffalos. Clip 2 is you in front of a green screen. There is no way to alter the size of clip 2 to fit it into the herd. Clip 2 has the subject way too big. You would have to shoot it from an equil distance from the herd for the two clips to match up. If, after you Green Screen your clip you could then PIP in and adjust the size of the video it would be perfect.
Any suggestions or am I missing something?
And no, I am not bothering herds of buffalos, ....not since the accident anyway.

Thank you for your reply. I saw this solution on another thread and tried the following. Will go into what I found.
The green screen function will only work if the movie is on top of something else. Therefore, when you save it it is saving the file with the background behind it. I tried several.
Then if you import it into your main project, it contains that background and using PIP will certainly shrink it, but again, you can't green screen it....back to step one.
This solution you reference would work if the file contained the subject against a transparent background, but it doesn't, it contains whatever you had to use under it to get the green screen to work.
Sorry if I am missing something. Two days into this and can't believe it can't be done.

Gradually resize movie clip

Hello,
I am trying to make a site for myself and I would like to
make a movie clip which will be changed in size (scaled) when
specific buttons are pressed. I would like to make a gradual
transition from one size to the other using actionscript . I tried
to find a tutorial on this but nothing came up, can anyone give me
any advice on how to do this? Any information wil be very helpfull.
Thanks.

Use the tween class for example.
button_mc.onRelease = function(){
new mx.transitions.Tween(clip_mc, '_xscale',
mx.transitions.easing.Elastic.easeOut, 0, 100, 5, true);
lots more info in flash help. look up transition

Transparency frame of moving, resizing clip in 6.5

In Premiere 6.5, I'm trying to move and resize a transparent clip. That works, however, the result only shows the background that is that size of the resized clip area. That is, the frame of the clip (the green screen area, that is chroma'd into transparency) becomes the only part of the composite that I can see. The clip moves and shrinks, and the viewable area of the background moves and shrinks along with it.
I can make the frame of the clip huge, so that as it shrinks it always includes the background, however, this seems like a kludge, and requires specially sizing the part of the clip that I want to show.
How might I more effectively move and resize a clip without it effectively "matte-ing" out the background?
Any help with this would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Let me try another explanation, on a hypothetical example (similar to my real project)
Say I've got a picture of a sidewalk as the background.
I've got a picture of a ball as the foreground.
I put the picture of the ball on a "green screen"
I put the ball on Video Track 2, the sidewalk on Video Track 1
In the Transparency Effect for the ball, I select chroma, and select the green backcolor
In the Motion effect for the ball, I have it move from top to bottom, and as it moves down, it decresases in size by 50%.
The problem is that as that as the frame for the ball shrinks, the view "thru the now-transparent green screen" also shrinks...I only see the part of the sidewalk behind the shrinking ball frame.
I've looked at (have the trial, but not fully investigated) Elements 8, and it looks like it's Premiere 6.5 repackaged with a (pardon me) eye-punishing format, a dumbed down (and thus harder to use) GUI, and a mass market price.
So, I'm assuming if there's a way to beat this problem in Elements, it can be done the same way in 6.5
Thanks again for attention to this. I'd like to clarify that at this point it is somewhat academic, because I'm probably going to be able generate all my animations outside Premiere and import then as individual frames. Works slick! However it would be nice to know how to do the above, in case it's needed.

How do I get clips resized for youtube without extra black borders?

Hi Ya,
I have some concert footage that I edited in FCP (some in 4.3, some in 16.9) that I have montaged together to form a "sampler" of what the act in question have done over the years. I want to put this on youtube, which needs a 320x240 frame size so I created a 320x240 sequence, added my montage to this, resized the clip til I was happy and exported. No matter what setting I use to export, I seem to end up with a box that has black borders round the movie instead of the movie filling the 320x240 frame, except when I DON"T specify 320x240 as an export size, in which case I get a movie that looks ok but it's 576x520! (i'm UK based so the 4.3 footage was this size??)
Any suggestions?
Many Thanks
Gareth

Hi
this had me stumped for a long time, but i think whats happening is that the quicktime movie player window defaults to a bigger size than 320 x 240, so it shows the movie at its correct sizer in a bigger window. if you resize the window the black sidebars go away. the movie properties say the movie is the correct size, so it should be fine. if you embed it in an html page it plays correctly as well.

DVD SP4 resizes a video clip

Hi all,
I've created a video clip at custom size of 720x320 to use in DVD menu. I've
applied it to
drop zone. To my surprise it didn't fit into the menu design. The clip's info in
DVD SP has
shown a size of 720x536 (it's a PAL project), so DVD SP has resized the clip to
the PAL native
size automatically! Does anybody know if there is a way to prevent DVD SP of
doing that?
Thanks in advance.
Andrey

Hi Audrey - welcome to the discussions.
Try re-sizing that drop zone - DVDSP should maintain the correct aspect ratio for the clip unless you go wildly out of the normal range, in which case it will clip the edges.
The other obvious win would be to composite the entire menu background using FCP or Motion or After Effects and get the footage exactly as you want it before bringing it in to DVDSP.
But no - I don't think you can prevent DVDSP behaving in the way it did for you.

Resizing clips while keeping good resolution?

hey folks,
this might be pretty basic but is there a way I to make clips smaller without lessening the quality? I'm trying to layer four clips to have one clip in each corner all playing at once. I tried reducing the scale to 50% and I also tried using the crop tool to resize the clips but both of these attempts made the clips pretty grainy. any suggestions? thanks

Yes, this is easy in iMovie.
First go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that the Advanced Tools are enabled.
Next, make sure your long track with the audio you want is in the Project.
Now, drag the short other clips or photos to the project and drop them on the frame of video (in the long clip) where you want them to start. When a pop-up menu appears, choose CUTAWAY.
Good Tutorial Here from Ken Stone.

Is there a way to "link" 2 video clips?

Hi,
I have a single 3 minute split screen video scene (in the timeline) that is made of 2 video clips. Can I link this pair of video clips?
It would make resizing easier if I only had to scale a single wire frame, instead of having to try to resize both clips to match each other for nesting?
Thanks,

Hi Michel,
My S1 has several clips it it. I am dividing my finished video into 4 equal sections on the screen, for the entire video, and there are lots of tracks in the timeline now.
If I move S1 into S2 with just the 2 tracks I want active, it transfers perfectly as a single track.
Here is the problem. When I return to S1 and make active other tracks, the other tracks also become active in S2, overwriting the 2 tracks I want linked. Or, if I deactivate the tracks in S1, the timeline is S2 still shows the track in the timeline but blacks the screen out.
I want to be able to make 2 video clips into a single track for easier editing in S1, is that possible?
Thanks for your help,
humbucker
