Resize own video preview window

Hello all,
Would be great of someone from this community (or maybe the skype development team) could help me with the following issue.
Recently bought kindle fire HD and setup a Skype a/c.
When I make a skype call, the "self-view window", i.e the window where you see yourself is so big on the Kindle that it blocks out the people I'm calling. How would I make this window smaller?
On a pc with a mouse, I can left-click on the top left corner of this window and drag it to resize it to any smaller (or bigger) size. How do I do this on Kindle fire HD?
Has anyone else had to deal with this issue? Thanks.
Kiran.

I have the same issue. Very frustrating.

Frozen video/preview window

hi there!
running iMovie 8.0.6 on my brand new macbook pro. have had great success with iMovie thus far until last night when i cut a 1hr 5min long video down to 8 minutes. all was well, but this morning when i come back to edit some more and add music, titles etc, the project won't play. when i click play on the project, either in full screen or regular screen mode, the audio starts playing and the little yellow line starts moving through the clips but the image in the preview window and in full screen is simply frozen on the very first clip in the movie. any thoughts why i can't see the actual video but can only hear it??
all help is greatly appreciated!
thanks!

hi there,
sorry for the delayed response. i actually had to call apple and unfortunately the fix wasn't that great. the project file was somehow corrupted - when i removed it from the iMovie program per their suggestion, the program and rest of the projects in it started working fine. their thought process was that sometimes when you're working in iMovie for too long without shutting it down/quitting, iMovie does not have the time to process the project files correctly, which is what could've messed up my project file. so i essentially needed to quit iMovie every once in a while to give it time to process the project. whether this is true or not i don't know, but it's the only answer they could give me. i actually had to remove the project and start all over! before removing the project though, i started a new one - you know how the event leaves a little orange or green line in the parts that have already been used and transferred into a project? i just followed those orange/green guidelines to get the clips i had previously chosen for the messed up project and put them into a new project. i then deleted the old messed up project that wouldn't play and everything has worked fine ever since. hope this helps a little!

AE cs6 video preview window doesn't work.

So the preview window of after effetcs cs6 isn't working. It just shows black screen. I need help fast.
Example pic: http://gyazo.com/d1219b0b95d7b2bd59e0980506db7c95

Why am I not surprised? Yeah, the effin' mess they made with OpenGL drawing. Update your graphics driver and configure it properly. If it's supported, it should work, if not, the program will/ should automatically disable it. Trash the prefs after the driver update so AE scans again.

Mini guide and little video preview window causing Black screen!!!

I now have the same issue. Pressing the B button used to give me a pip with the guide on screen at the same time as live TV in the lower right corner. Now when pressing B the small box with live TV appears in the corner but the guide goes black. Pressing B again, closes the small pip window and restores the guide - different from what it was doing before.

Everytime you bring up the little mini guide with the right arrow on your remote and then exit out of it and then bring up the big guide or any other menu like On Demand for example and then bring up the little preview window by clicking the B button on your remote the entire guide or other screen like On Demand goes completely black!! The quick fix is to restart the DVR box but as soon as you use the mini guide and then the litle preview window it happens all over again. It is happening on all 3 of my Arris XG1v1 boxes with updates 1.55.02 and 2.02p12s1. Are you guys seeing this also? I hope this will be fixed soon as I use the preview window often. Can a Comcast Tech look into this issue please. ThanksI was able to replicate the issue you have, but instead of having to reboot the box, I just pressed the "B" buton to exit out of small pic and my Guide returned to normal. Takes some experimenting...

CS6 can't get video preview window to appear when I export my movie clip to auditions?

Hi,
I have CS6 Production premium for windows. I am editing my short film. From premiere pro I am unable to export my video with my audio when I export a clip to auditions to edit it. The web tutorials show a window pops up asking among other things do you want to render a preview video. I don't get that window when I edit to auditions.
I just got CS6 (disc versions) a week ago with my souped up computer and a few days ago there was an update for CS6 that my computer guru told me to hold off on until I finish my short film.
My guess is either there is something I have disabled in properties or I need the updates.

Yeah, I've already done that in both auditions and premiere pro. Plus sifting through all the previous threads on the subject. Plus a "chat" with an adobe rep last night who couldn't help because she was with the download team. She told me to call customer support which I will when they open this morning.
It may have to do with the 1080p 24 frames HD video I'm using or that I also have Cyberlink Powerdirector on my computer utilising or sharing a file that involves rendering video. Cyberlink I found to be archaic with it's mapping of data and the program - it would not port over to my new computer w/o certain files present on my new C & L drives.
It is what it is.

Resizing movie preview window

is it possible and if so how would i resize the movie preview window ? i want to do some audio commentary and the window is kinda small.

Hi there
Too bad you aren't using a PC. If you were, there is a cool little freeware app called "Sizer" that would allow you to define the size you want and easily size the window.
I just did a brief Google looking for a Mac alternative and found something called "Mercury Mover". Perhaps that will help?

Video preview is white

I'm running Premiere Elements 8 and working on a video, but the video preview window (positioned on the upper left of the screen by default) is stuck in a perpetual white mode. If I enable the safe margins, they show up but no video content displays in the box. However, if I click the video preview window, the clip that is forwardmost in the timeline becomes selected and I can see it (when it is selected, I can scale it and move it around, because it's altering the motion properties of that clip). The minute I try to play the video within the editor, the window returns to white.
I've attached a screenshot to show you what I'm talking about.
So does anybody have any ideas regarding what is happening? Restarting the program hasn't corrected it, and therea re no updates.

Before I start, I can't see how drivers, source video file details or my hardware could be relevent here because none of them have changed since the last time I used the program.
Video is two different resolutions: 840x524 and 1360x768. They're video that was captured in real-time from video games using a program called Fraps. The reason why I don't think this is relevent is because the display is white whether I have anything in the timeline or not. I could have a blank project with absolutely no media in it at all and the display is white.
I have a gaming laptop running an nVidia G94, which utilizes three video cards: a single GeForce 9400 when in low-power mode and two GeForce 9800's when running in high power mode. The driver is 195.81. It shouldn't be because the drivers aren't officially supported for the G94, but the only place that provides drivers hasn't updated them in over a year and a half. It's either I use old drivers that will prevent certain games from working or I modify the INF of the newest nVidia driver to recognize that I am running two 9800s and a 9400. This has never been an issue in the entire five or six months I've been using it. I've been running Premiere for close to three months and this is the first time I've encountered this issue.
[e] I'm trying the newest nVidia drivers, 196.34, and will report my findings.

Hi cornellweb,
Update to Premiere Pro CS6 (6.0.5). This should solve your issue.

Video Playback in Bridge preview Window is Horrible

As far as I can remember, I've always had this problem in Bridge. All videos have horrible playback. The video is choppy and stutters and the audio is not in sync. It doesn't matter what format the video is in, although I have noticed that videos shot with my Canon AVCHD and converted to .mp4 format are worse. But overall there is no video format I've tried that does not stutter. All these videos play fine in Quicktime or any other video player.
I have CS5 design suite and a brand new 6-core Mac Pro, with 24GB of RAM and a ATI Radeon 5770, the problem is definitely not my system. What gives? I'd really like to get this fixed so I can preview my videos in Bridge. Its the easiest place to view multiple videos but I cant do that because of how bad the playback is. I've tried changing the few playback settings in preferences and it did not help at all.
Anyone else have this problem?

I am not a Mac user, I use Windows, however, Bridge is Bridge no matter what the OS.
It is my understanding that Bridge does not have a video engine. It uses Quicktime as the default. If you right click on the video what default program is listed? Try changing the default program and see if you get better results. My .mov video has Windows Media Player as the default and they play just fine. I realize this is a Windows program, but try VLC or some other program. With your machine you should get supurb results. Also, check the video card settings as this has more to do with playback than Bridge settings.
Here is a tidbit on the black frame issue I copied from another thread. Hope it is enlightning. "One of the reasons for the lack of display of a thumbnails is that the CODEC (the encoding/decoding module, used to create the file) is not usable by Adobe programs to display the initial image. Next, many AV files begin with black video, and Dip-to-Black (translated as Fade-from-Black here). If they get just an icon, it's the former. If they get a black Frame for the thumbnail, it's the latter."
Also, I don't think you can just rename the extension from .mov to .mpg. What you can do is take the .mov and convet it to mpg or some other format. Try this and see how it plays.

Is there a way to capture video of what you do in preview window

i find it fascinating to toggle rapidly forth on a scene in the preview window.
is there any way that i could capture this rapid backwards and forwards movement on video?

If you upgrade to iLife 09, you can have fast motion, slow motion, reverse motion without any third party tools. [See this link for a screenshot and description|http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/imovie_09stone.html#clip%20adjustments]
You could also use a screen capture application like Snapz Pro X, or similar.

Preview window not displaying video

As of yesterday when I was in the middle of a project, the preview window simply stopped displaying all video being played off the timeline. It previews the videos in the top left window just fine though. I restarted the program and it still did not fix the problem.
However it seems to be acting strangely in that at random times the video will show up, but then dissappear again once it passes an edit point. I also tried dropping a new clip in the timeline, which caused every thing to work again. Then 10 seconds later the preview disabled not allowing me to see anything. Whether I play it or keep it paused at a point, nothing shows up.
I have been editing this same project for a couple of weeks with no problems. I know it has nothing to do with the media. Running off the latest update and latest OS software.

Actually I just took out one of the clips, which seemed to be causing the problem. No idea why that is since its the same format as the others.
I forgot to mention another unrelated problem going on. Sometimes during playback the audio will revert to a loud buzzing sound at random points in the timeline. Its at a different point every time. Sometimes happens 5 times in a row. Other times every thing will be fine for a few hours.
I trashed the prefs, repaired permissions and rebooted.
Edit: forgot to mention the audio levels are well below red line

Video not fitting into preview window

Hello,
I have been running into a problem that I have not had untill I restored my computer a few months back. To start off I know my video files are in 720p and I have the sequence setting set accordingly. When I place the video files into the "Source" the full video is shown. However, Once the video is brought onto the timeline the preview window shows it much more expanded tot he point where only the very middle of the video can be seen. I have gotten around this in the past by dragging the corners in and copying the scale to every individual clip but it has become extreemly monotonous.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thank you
the atttached screenshot shows the problem

To start off I know my video files are in 720p and I have the sequence setting set accordingly.
No, they're not. They're 1440x1080; you can see that in the project panel. Functionally, they're 1920x1080 since they're HDV. So, you should be using a 1080i/p sequence preset... or you can use a 720p preset, but you'll have to scale the footage down to fit.
A quick way to create a sequence that matches your footage is to drag a clip to the New Item button at the bottom of the Project panel; it looks like the dog-eared sheet of paper.
If you want to use a 720p sequence, select all the clips and use the right-click > Scale to Frame Size option; optionally, you can manually scale one clip, and then copy and paste the Motion effect to all the other clips.

No video in preview window

I edited some video last night, but when i opened Premiere Pro CC this morning, the video will not show in the preview window. Sound is working fine. Preview is set to show preview of the timeline. Everything is in the right place on the time line. I don't know how to fix it.
Have anyone experienced the same problems?
Hope you can help.

Video does not play in preview window.

I have recently upgraded to CS4 from CS3.
In any part of CS4 that uses video; Encore, Premeire and After Effects, video will not play in the preview window from a timeline when the play button is pressed. The playhead doesn't move, but the Play button toggles from Pause to Play when pressed. However, when I scrub the video, I can see it in the window. Video played fine in CS3.
My graphics card is a PNY nVidia Quadro FX 570 with the 178.26 driver. My computer is a Dell Precision 670.
I recently completed a project where I had to trim about 48 QuickTime video files created in Premiere 2.0, compressed with Sorensen 3.
The files were then added to Encore, and a DVD was created. The DVD worked fine. At no time could I preview video, unless I opened the edited video in QuickTime.
This has also happened with still and AVIs.
At no time do any of the CS4 programs freeze or crash the system.
Has anyone had this happen to them. Is it a graphics card issue.... I can't seem to find any info on a similar problem.
Thanks.

Try turning off (or lowering) Hardware Acceleration for your graphics card.
At the Windows Desktop, Right Click and select "Properties". Under the "Settings" Tab, select "Advanced". Select the "Troubleshoot" Tab and reduce the Hardware Acceleration. You will need to restart you computer to see if it worked. First, try it with no Acceleration. If it works, try increasing the Hardwar Accelearation one notch at a time - rebooting your computer each time. \
I obtained this procedure from the Adobe Technical Staff.

Preview window in premiere 10 will not show view video images

My Premiere 10 preview window will not show video images. There has been some on-line discussion that nVidia GeForce video card automatic updates is the problem and it has been suggested that I roll back to a previous card however the rollback button does not light up and can not be activated. Also I'm not sure that I'm using the correct settings for the preview window, what are the default settings?

I recommend that you try your question in premeire forum, so you have a better chance of getting an answer.
