Resizing and changing aspect ratio

Ihave a photo of 5 ins by 4 ins. How can I make it 6 ins by 4 ins and keep the composition? CS6

Hello, if there is content that can be scaled, I'd change the canvas size to 6x4, then use the content aware scale to fill the rest of the area:

How to crop canvas and change aspect ratio?

I'm working on a project shot with an old camera from the 70s. I used that camera but recorded the signal on my mini dv camera. Now I have a black border on the right side of the image.
This project is going on the Web, not TV. How can I crop the canvas (and change the aspect ratio) without a black border? I know there's a crop feature in the motion tab, but that results in same aspect ratio with black border. Is this possible?
(I don't care if the aspect ratio is non-standard, and I don't want to letterbox.)

If you are going to the web (what means you'll downscale at the end) and you shoot using an old camera, the loss of quality of the upscaling probably means nothing in your final web encoding.
You can make a test upscaling just some seconds of your movie an encoding it for the web to check the final quality.
Hope that helps !

Changing Aspect Ratio in FCPX 10.0.08

Hi - I think I must be losing my marbles because i cant, for the life of me, find out how to change Aspect Ratio during edit.
My rushes are previewable as full screen but once i pull them into the timeline they get letterboxed automatically.
I search online and came across advice to go to Sequence > Settings > Change Aspect Ratio, but i cant seem to locate it.
Can anyone help?

I dont seem to have that icon?

Can you 'force" change aspect ratio for DVD player 4.0?

Hi,
I have burnt a dvd-r from my pioneer hdd/dvd recorder (630H). The program is in 16:9 ratio but plays at 4:3 on my powerbook dvd player 4. (All other dvd-r burnt via other burners appear OK however - so I guess this is something peculiar to the Pioneer) Why is this?. Question is: is there any way to "force" the apple dvd player to change aspect ratios? Thanks for any assistance.

I've got about 20 video tracks and one audio track all laid out and I've decided I'd like to insert something before the audio track so if I move the audio track everything else will be off. Is there a way to shift all the video tracks and the audio track over to the right to make room for the inserted video?

Change aspect ratios

How do I change aspect ratios before I start a project? 4:3 or 16:9
I have looked everywhere and do not see it.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
John

Change the Easy Setup to the appropriate anamorphic or widescreen format. If you make a new project the new sequence in it and the capture settings will be in the format you assigned.

Nested sequences change aspect ratio of clips underneath them

Premiere Pro 6.0.5
Mac Book Pro Retina
See attached screen shots:
1. Nested sequence is off - everything under is is crisp and proper aspect ratio
2. Nested sequence is on - everything under it is blurry and wrong aspect ratio
3. Only nested sequence is on - so you can see it does NOT contain the layers underneath it by mistake
Why is this happening? It's really troubling... It generally happens when I go to render my sequence - it goes all haywire wrong aspect ratio when rendered with that transparent nested sequence above everything.
Image 1:
Nested sequence is off - everything under is is crisp and proper aspect ratio
Image 2:
Nested sequence is on - everything under it is blurry and wrong aspect ratio (it gets pushed up - see black line that is formed on the bottom)
Image 3:
Only nested sequence is on - so you can see it does NOT contain the layers underneath it by mistake

Crap... I noticed that this glitch now spread to even clips that have NOTHING above them. The scaling is wrong, and image quality gets a bit blurry after rendering. It always squishes my clips up after rendering, but they look absolutely perfect pre-render.
New example:
1. Clip 01 - Opacity slightly turned down to destroy the rendered preview - looks perfect:
2. Clip 01 - Opacity all the way up, clip rendered wrong - bottom squishes up. Whyyyyy:

Exporting at Sequences settings... Changes aspect ratio.

I'm preparing some 16:9 DV footage for a Multi-Clip edit. So I'm Exporting a few sequences to my HD to re-import as a clip, at that point they are in sync for Muli Clip.
When I Export and deselsect 'make self contained movie', it comes back into FCP at Full Screen. I really want to use this option to save a ton of HD space. If I export and check 'make self contained movie', it re-imports at the correct Wide Screen aspect ration. How can I not make a self contained movie and maintain aspect ratio? I've had this problem since I bought FCP and gone through all the updates.
When I Export a Movie, I'm simply going to Export>QuitimeMovie (use sequence settings).
Thanks for your time.

I don't know where else to access that checkbox besides Sequence Settings, there it has been checked since the project started.
Well my Multi Clip training only goes as far as Lynda.com's coverage. My original clips that I capture were from two different cameras that didn't share the same time code or start time. Also, both camera started and stopped many times individually and lastly I had an external audio source to fly in. So to my thinking at the moment, I had to sort the video and audio clips into 1 sequence per camera so they all share the same start/stop time and duration. At this point since Multi-Clip doesn't edit Sequences, only clips, I export the sequences and re-import them as clips. If you feel like explaining an easier way, I'm all ears, thank you.

Aspect Ratio and Pixel Aspect Ratio

I am importing P2 footage and wondering what my sequence settings should be? As in Aspect Ratio and Pixel Aspect Ratio would need to be? Do I need to ask the DOP what settings on the P2 have been used when filming?

If you have FCP 6 then when you drop a clip into the timeline it will ask you if you want to configure the sequence to match...just click YES.
But you should know what format they shot. Find that out then choose the Easy Setup that matches, and make a new sequence. Or let FCP 6 and 7 do that for you, like I mentioned.

multiple page option in your print dialog will keep aspect ratio but not same scale if you use different page sizes in your original pdf.

CS4 changing aspect ratio, resizing video

Hello,
I've been working on a project at school for some time and am just now getting to the editing factor. My issue is about half way through editing it seems that its changed the aspect ratio from wide screen to a more standard ratio. I have it set to scale to the frame size. Just to clear a few things up they were all captured the same, all the original quicktime files are the same it's just once I import them into premiere that I start having issues. I really appreciate it, thanks

After uploading it to youtube the size gets so small you can hardly see it. My main goal with this thread is to get the video to actually scale to the frame.

Changed sequence settings to match source footage but only half footage now matches even though they're from the same camera and same aspect ratio

My source footage is 1920 X 1080 from a canon 60D. I changed my sequence settings to Digital SLR 1920 X 1080 to match. On the program window I have it set at "Fit". Only about a quarter of my footage now fits the program screen and looks to be the matching aspect ratio. The rest of the footage when on "fit" fills a tiny portion of the viewing window so it appears they don't match the sequence settings. I don't understand why this is happening because this footage is from the same camera, shot the same day, and have the same aspect ratios.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how I can fix it??

First of all, the setting that you mention is on Fit is the Zoom Level of the Program Monitor. It controls only how the sequence is shown in that monitor; it has nothing to do with how any sources are handled in the sequence.
Please provide the following information:
Exact version of Premiere Pro
Exact version of operating system
Graphics card and driver
Also, please post a screenshot showing the following
Project panel with the Video Info column visible
the Timeline visible
one of the problematic clips selected and the Effect Controls panel visible, with the Motion section twirled open.

Quicktime X and 7 aspect ratio problems

I have scoured the net and not come up with a single solution to this issue.
I have hundreds of music videos, home videos etc in Quicktime 7 format. The ratio of these files varies at a pixel level, but are corrected in Q7 size feature.
It's not just an anamorphic issue, as many videos are cropped from a non anamorphic 4:3 'letter boxed' source.
Now QX does not display them correctly at all, which until recently wasn't the end of the world, but from the last update, iTunes began using the X ratio as opposed to the correct adjusted ratio, so music videos in iTunes, QX, the iPad, you name it, the videos created this way do not display correctly.
That basically is every video on my Mac created from the late 90's to recently.
Any ideas, solutions? How on earth can Apple do something so amateurish, and why is there no major uproar.

So what you're saying is, Apple are telling me "thank you for your loyalty in using our hardware since 1988, and building up a video collection based on our software, but we've decided to do a version of Quicktime that ignores the size tag you have being using for the last 14 years (I started video work on Quicktime in 1997), and screw any videos you did to this point, unless they had square pixels?"
Not exactly. I believe that what they are saying is that QT is growing old. The technology on which is is based was fine for the codecs and techniques of its time, but video technology is constantly changing and it is no longer practical or possible to keep making updates and patches that don't, in and of themselves, create new, more serious problems than they solve. QT X is based on technology designed to make this process of evolution easier and it is likely we will see many new changes over the coming decade. However, in the meantime, they have not done away with QT 7 or Front Row, both of which continue to display your files correctly even under Snow Leopard. I personally continue to use QT 7—mainly because I have it keyed for "Pro" use and prefer its functionality to the what I call "Not quite ready for prime time" version represented by QT X which likely appeals to first time Mac users.
New videos are fine, I just encode them to square pixels anyway and ignore any PAR nonsense at the encode stage, but then if the PAR value is what they are using now, why not allow an option in QX to set that, so at the very least I could resize the old videos to correct format.
Not sure if Apple would be willing to provide what amounts to developmental support for an application they are phasing out. Still, it wouldn't hurt to ask. If enough people should request such an enhancement, they might be willing to at least consider the possibility.
Re-encoding them is just not an option, incurring further loss, on videos that in some cases are already marginal.
While I stated that corrections are normally made during the encoding process, it isn't the only method of setting the PAR value. Unfortunately, it is the most accurate method.
My point with anamorphic is that it will simply change 4:3 to 16:9 if there were some option to hit a check button.
Actually, using modern encoders, you can utilize any custom PAR setting desired but I am usually more interested in other aspect ratios like 1.66:1, 1.85:1, 2.40:1, and 2.35:1 since most of my work is centered on the conversion of movies for use on my TV devices.
More flexibility is needed, especially from a platform that is supposed to be pro. Ever tried formatting videos for a vertically placed Plasma for exhibition work, on a video file that isn't square pixel?
Not as uncommon as you might think. I also layer over still or video backgrounds to frame the main video and fill the unused device display area.
I have videos for example that are 800 x 400 (due to an original source, or a crop from the source, but view at 4:3 with the size setting, as they should. Now they look ridiculous displaying at 2:1, and there is no way to change it.
I would normally employ masking here to avoid one level of re-compression.
The size option allowed it to be displayed as you wanted it to, after encode.
More importantly, the Size (Scale) option allowed you to avoid having to re-encode the file since it can be saved back to the original file container (assuming no other changes were made the forces a re-encoding of the file).
It worked, it was done as Apple wanted, due to the size option being the only way to do to non-square pixels, and now they say, nah, we're not doing that anymore?
You seem to be forgetting that when QuickTime was initially introduced almost 20 years ago, users did not have to worry about scalability options, low-compression, high data rate broadcast standards or anamorphic DVDs because there weren't any such work flows for the Apple/Mac platforms of that era nor could they handle them anyway.
So basically Quicktime now contains no ability to format non-square pixels, unless it is done at the encode?
True, but as hinted previously, Apple and QuickTime isn't the only game in town. Based on your question, I went back and played around with Subler. Had been told that this app would allow the user to embed PAR value but was never able to get it to work. Finally managed to get a 720x480 (636x480) encoded movie trailer to play back as an 852x480 display in both QT 7 and QT X on my Snow Leopard system. This proves that it can be done without re-encoding, but there do seem to be some limitations. For instance, since I normally encode using macro-block 16 dimensions increments and Subler seems to like increments of 12 pixels, some PAR and Size target values may vary by 4 pixels. In any case, you may want to Google the app and give it a try. You still have to process each file but not actually re-compress the data.
It is barely believable that they would do that.
Please excuse me, but I do have to chuckle here. It seems as if you feel that Apple has taken something away from you. I, on the other hand, tend to view it as not missing something I never really had. I do, however, agree that it would be nice if both applications were able to access/change both PAR values and display size values for better compatibility between old and new technologies.

Labview Remote Panel and Client Aspect Ratio

Dear all professionals,
I had create an application with remote panel (webserver) enabled. I found that there is relationship between aspect ratio of client device display and the remote panel screen size. Here i attached two images of remote panel in browser which both remote panel are opened using different aspect ratio of client device.
The left 1 is the device with 1.5 aspect ratio while the right 1 is the device with 1.78 aspect ratio.
As you can seen from the images, both remote panel are shown in different size. May i ask do i miss something in the remote panel configuration?

Hi Michel,
Thank you for your reply. I also notice that the zoom % of browser is one of the issue that caused this behaviour. In the same aspect ratio with server computer( where the application running), changing zoom to 100% will help to fit remote panel that I already set when I developing the remote panel vi. But if for different aspect ratio, no matter how u change the zoom % , it won't fit the frame. I just wondering whether got another solution for this issue or not :-(

AE changing aspect ratio of rendered frames

I'm rendering .png frames at NTSC DV, 720x480, Pixel aspect 0.9. My composition settings in AE are set to the same, however, when I import the frames they are listed as 720x480 (1.11). When viewed in the composition window the frames extend past the viewable area on both sides. Using AE 7.0.
Why is this happening, and how do I fix it?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

This is going to sound weird but it's the truth. The aspect ratio doesn't change the pixels. Aspect ratio only sets the interpretation - or tells a video app how to make those pixels fit in a desired space on a scan line. It's a lot like the PPI tag added to images intended for print. The tag has nothing to do with the actual pixels.
That said, if you can't find a setting for choosing pixel aspect ratio when you setup the output module and the render settings, then the PAR tag won't be added to the render. AE, or your NLE will then take a look at the frame size and make a guess as to PAR and field order. The guess may be wrong. If it is, all you have to do is go into the interpretation settings and change them.
I'd guess you're rendering to a DV codec. If so, there's no PAR tag so all you have to do is reset the interpretation. The same goes for Premiere or FCP or Vegas or any other NLE. Sometimes DV footage gets interpreted as the wrong PAR.
Hope this helps.
