Resizing video in menu?

I am new to Encore. I have a project that was shot on 16:9 and exported that way. I connected the video and audio to the motion section of the menu building feature in Encore. Well, my problem is that the video shows up way to small. Is there anyway to resize the video so it takes up the entire screen? I have the dvd menu set as 16:9 . The assets that are 16:9 play as such. for some reason the video on the menu is tiny. Any suggestions?

I made it my menus background.
After playing around I discovered that I could choose send to encore from premire.
That really helped. Everything fit and it was wide screen. I still have an issue with sending an asset over from premire it will launch a new project in encore... should i just export assets?

Easy Question about resizing video

I searched 'Resizing Video' and there was too many unrelated results to a really simple question.
In my old program "Premiere', to resize and move a video around was very easy. You could adjust the scale and X-Y values numerically, or you could use a Free Transform like in Photoshop. Simply dragging bounding boxes for size and aspect and also dragging the clip to decide it's location.
The only way I know how to do this in FCP is I double click a clip in the sequence, it loads into the viewer, I go to the Motion Tab and then I can adjust the Scale, which is cool. But then I'm left with the Distort section to adjust position (and aspect if need be). In the Distort section there are 8 numeric fields of info to figure out and fill out just to get one clip in a different position correctly.
I'm thinking there must be another way to adjust the location (or aspect) of a video clip without spending a bit of time on exact coordinates, I want to eye-ball where I want the clip to go and simply move it there. Is the Distort feature the only way to do this? If not, which is the fastest way to move and change the dimension of a clip.
Thanks for reading, I hope there is another way, I'm not use to these calculations and they're slowing me down.

That's because it's not a simple question at all and yet every one of those threads was related to the OP's question. As you discovered, there are lots of ways to interpret "resize," during capture, editing, effects, output, viewing, encoding, printing. But the solution was even simpler than you thought. All you had to do was open the manual or the online help system. Start taking the manuals to the gym with you. FCP is not Premiere. You're going to hate FCP, you're going to love FCP but it will never behave like Premiere beyond the elements of the functional paradigm. Forget Premiere.

Playback of DVD Studio Pro 4 built SD video file - Menu 1 screen is WHITE!!

I recently upgraded from FCP 4.5 with DVD Studio Pro 3 to FCS with DVD Studio 4. I have resolved a number of problems with the upgrade by reading "Apply Discussions", however, I need help with the following: When I import my mpeg2 and AC3 files into DVD SP4, I use the DVD SP4 palette to select an Apple Template for my MENU 1. (I like the "Theater Interior" menu template.) When I view the final product with the DVD SP4 simulator, everything is great including the colors in MENU 1. So, I build my program onto my desktop, the same way I did when I had DVD SP3. Now, the problem begins. When I view the built video TS file on my G5 Apple DVD player, or format it to a standard DVD-R with my pioneer 106D burner and play it back on my in-house DVD player, when the program MENU 1 is displayed on the monitor, it is WHITE in color. The menu is set to times out in 20 seconds. Once that happens, the programs runs perfectly. However, what's with the white menu screen? I can barely make out the buttons. When I click on a button, it operates and the color and program work perfectly from that point. I there an option to get rid of the white screen when the menu comes up? Somehow, when DVD SP4 builds the video file, MENU 1 is encoding with a white background rather than with the colors of the Apple template in use. This did not happen with DVD SP3. Can you help me?

try switching the menu encoding from software to hardware (or vice versa) in your DVDSP preferences and see if that makes a difference for you.

Can't keep the original size of the video (Resize Video option is stuck on 640 x 480h)

I am importing .mp4 files set at 874 x 480h. Somehow AME makes the output size 640 x 480h, which significantly vertically compresses the video.
I tried so many different ways of uncheking the Rewsize Video box, checking it again and specifiying 874 x 480h. Best I got is 874 x 480h with black borders left and right and the actual video to be rendered in output tab is still at 640 x 480h.
It seems that Resize Video option is stuck on 640 x 480h and can not be changed.
Is there some bug in AME I have to work around? Or is it a problem with the original video? If the problem with an original video what exactly do I ask my client to rerender it like if I already receive it in 874 x 480h, can view/play it in this size, AME recognizes the original video to its true size, shows it to its true size if 1x1 pixel preview is selected. However will show a distorted 640 x 480h version if Aspect Ratio Corrected Preview is selected (even with the Resize Video box unchecked)?

Hi Marion,
Thanks very much for your message. I have downloaded that program and it's definitely handy for examining the details of the original file. You mentioned in your message about not having to recode the file - The file I'm editing is originally from a Q3 Zoom video recorder and I can use their in-built software (handyware) to trim the file - this doesn't recode the file and so the file size just reduces by the required amount. Unfortunately there is no facility to crop the file with this software - I've looked for other software that would allow cropping without having to recode the file but I haven't found anything suitable for a simple procudure like this - do you know of any software that allows you to crop a file without recoding? Thanks.

Flash videos and menu boxes jump up and down, what would cause this?

After installing Firefox 4, all flash videos and menu boxes jump up and down. I have removed and reinstalled the flash plug in to no avail. This does not affect the playback, just the border of the video or menu box. Other browsers do not do this. Just wondering why this happens?

OK, solved the problem...
I '''''DELETED''''' the file LOCALSTORE.RDF with FF closed. Restarted and everything was back to normal.

Is there a fix for IE window resize with Spry menu?

I have a spry menu that works fine in all browsers, the only issue I have is when a window in IE is resized, the spry menu does not move with the rest of the content. The menu does reposition itself once the mouse moves into the navigation area.
Is this a display bug with IE or is there a css hack that will fix this behavior in IE?

I am having trouble with Firefox loading some pages....

S60 v5 (e.g 5800/5530) Resize Video on phone to se...

May be a silly question - but I can't seem to find an option that will allow me to resize a video, taken on the phone, so that it's small enough to send via MMS
I usually keep the Video Camera set to 'TV High Quality' so that when I get home I can transfer it over to PC to edit before uploading it to youtube (or whatever) etc, but occasionally once I've taken a video I'd like to send it straight away to someone via MMS (while keeping the original to edit when I get home) - but I get a message stating that the file size is too large
I don't want to keep changing the video quality settings each time - because by the time I've changed it, what I wanted to record has passed by
The 5800 doesn't seem to offer an option to 'resize video to send via MMS' & was wondering if there IS such an option hidden away somewhere, & if not - is there a 3rd part App that can be installed (preferably free) that will do the job
Thanks in advance

So while you are waiting for Nokia to do your request, maybe I could interest you in an alternative?

DayHand is a replacement keyboard for the s60v5 phones. It does not have autocorrect, but it does have predictive text via T9 dictionary in qwerty mode. The app is unsigned by the way, so you would need to sign it with your own certificate.

Resizing Videos

Ok, I didn't know where to post this...so if I'm posting this in the wrong spot, please, sombody point me in the right direction. Ok, well I'm trying to resize my videos that are in iPhoto. I want to make them (I know it's a funny sizing, but trust me) 128 x 128 pixels. I don't have Quick Time Pro and don't want to buy it. So...how do I resize my videos?
Thanks!

OK.
Sounds like fun and I'm game for some hacking.
So. Sims 2 allows you to use up to 128X128 file size. Do they say that "video" is allowed? Maybe something that fits on a Sims TV set?
If only image formats are used there are a few QT tricks I can pass on.
Open the "video" and position the playhead to the frame you wish to "capture".
Open the Movie Info window and note the dimensions.
Hold down the Shift and Control keys as you drag the "grow window" (lower right corner of the Player window) toward the center of the image. You'll see that you can make a rectangle into a square!
Once sized to 128X128 you can now "Copy" (even the free player) the newly sized image to the Mac "Clipboard".
Open any image editing app (I use GraphicConverter), make a new "blank" canvas size at 128X128 and "paste". Save in a format that the Sims software requires.
If you own QT Pro you could also use "Save As" on this newly resized video, name this new file and import or convert it to a format accepted by the Sims software.
You could also use third party software to actually "crop" the video to the needed dimensions. MPEG Streamclip (free) is my tool of choice.
Hope any of this helps. Post a screen shot if it actually works.

Resize video window hangs

I'm running iTunes 7.6 (29) on Mac OS 10.5.1. When I resize video windows while playing in iTunes I get hangs that require me to hard power down my MacBook Pro (2.6GHz, 4GB RAM). Is anyone else seeing this? Is there a fix, or is this related to the general unstableness of OS 10.5? I also have the syslogd and mdworker (do a Google search for each) problems that Apple refuses to acknowledge or fix.

No, rolling back to QuickTime 7.3.1 didn't fix the problem. I suspect it was the graphics drivers.
I installed 10.5.2 and the Leopard graphics driver update tonight. One of them seems to have fixed the iTunes window resize problem (although I just played around for a while to try it). I didn't try to recreate the problem between upgrades so I can't say which update might have fixed it. If the problem returns I'll post back here.
I still have trouble with runaway syslogd processes... but that wasn't the topic of this thread. I've had one of those since I installed the upgrades, but I'm getting good at going into Terminal to kill and fix the process. After all, isn't using the command line interface of Terminal oh so Mac like?

How to resize videos?

Hi,
I've made a couple of videos using imovie. Format is 4:3.
They play well in imovie (or VLC) but when I've burned a dvd using iDVD - using 4:3 format again - a big portion of the video has gone outside the visible area.
How can i address this?
thanks,
Patrick

When you say "resize" do you really mean selecting the proper aspect ratio?
I'm assuming you already tried this:
Switching between standard and widescreen formats
You can change the format of your project from standard video format (4:3) to widescreen (16:9), or from widescreen to standard.
Here are ways to change the project format:
Choose Project > Project Info, and then select Standard (4:3) or Widescreen (16:9) from the Aspect Ratio pop-up menu.
Choose Project > “Switch to Standard (4:3)” or “Switch to Widescreen (16:9).”
Click here
if that fails then you can try adding your movie/s to the slideshowshow editor and make sure TV Safe is selected or checked w/in iDvd's preferences.
click here
Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

Resizing video content

Is there a way to resize playback of video content w/ Front Row? My MacBook Pro automatically plays the tv shows I download from the iTunes store in full screen. This would be great if the shows were compressed for playback on ipods and larger displays!
Full-screen playback sometimes shows too much artifacting. Is there an option, like "presenting" in Quicktime Pro, of showing videos in normal or double size?
thanks

QuickTime can "Open URL" so all you need to do is view the page source code to find it and paste the complete (starts with http and ends with a QuickTime file extension) into that window.
You can then use the menu commands to enlarge the player dimensions.

I can't get my cursor to completely leave the screen, so when I'm watching videos on some services the video control menu stays at the bottom of the screen. How do I make it disappear so I don't have to see the progress bar and stop/start buttons?

When I watch certain video services like amazon or Netflix and enter full screen, when I move the cursor a video menu pops up on the bottom of the screen and won't disappear until the cursor goes offscreen. But my cursor won't go fully off screen. Just the tip remains visible so the video menu doesn't leave.

What happens if you simply click the trackpad in the movie area before the cursor disappears? Does that cause the video menu to disappear?

Video IPOD Menu's to TV

I want to use my IPOD as a digital music server and not a video server. Can I output the menu's from my IPOD to my TV and control via a remote.

If 'Tv-out' would be under 'Settings' in the main menu in stead of only under 'Photos' and 'Videos' it would be solved ?? Is there third party software or should Apple be asked to solve this. It would be nice to be able to use the remote control from more then a meter distance....

Can't resize video in Sequence monitor window anymore ???

OK Help... I have been working on a project in CS4 and the project settings are HD 1080. I have been able to bring in other SD clips and simply "click" on the video in the monitor window and a box comes up around the video and I can resize it and then render and it looks acceptable. This works if I want to shrink it and have a black border also. Now the ability to do this is GONE ! Same computer - same everything. I click and there is no box or ability to re-size. Only thing I ever did was load up another project at one time in standard DV - NTSC and encoded with Encore. Whats Wrong

Glad that you found it. You can also do the same thing with the Bounding Box, if you open the Effects Control Panel, and then click on the name Motion in the Effects list there, and you'll get a Bounding Box in the Program Panel. Personally, I like the numerical method, but some like the Bounding Box.
Good luck,
Hunt

Resizing video at the output in FCP X

I usually work with Final Cut Pro 7 which allowes me to specify output settings but in a couple of days I wiil have to do a project in Final Cut Pro X. I have downloaded a trial version of FCP X to get a bit more familiar with the software. I pretty much know by now how to do most of the things I need to do however there is one function I have not been able to work out. I'd like to resize the output of my project. For example the project frame size is 1920x1080 and I want to output it as say 720x576 or 512x288 or any other size I may need to output. When I go to share master clip the output settings show the current project frame size and do not allow me to change it to anything else. Is there a way to modify the output settings (customize them)? Am I having this problem because I am using the trial version or because FCP X does not allow to customize output to your liking?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

There's no 'set resolution' in FCPX' share menu.
Option 1)
Purchase Compressor, create your customized setting(s) there, add to FCPX share menu
Option 2)
Export from within FCPX a 'masterfile' (=projects proRes timeline) and use any other encoder (QuicktimePro, MpegStreamclip, Compressor …) to convert into any other setting.-
… this is no limitation of the trial; the trial is a 'full' version.-
