Using Crop with No Overlay

One time to experiment with rule of thirds and golden ration, I clicked on each. I then clicked back to NO Overlay. Now I can''t get elements to recognize no overlay.

Select the croop tool and try a re-set.

How can i use cropping in imovie 11 on the clips that i cut away with and still put it in HD

Hi there,
I do have one problem dealing with the videos I make in my iMovie 11: I want to set my videos to HD using Quicktime. I already know how to do that. But, the problem is that I use cropping and ken burn effects on my vids when I use cutaway (a really major problem since I use this most frequently in my videos), picture-in-picture, and side-by-side. After I exported my vids to Quicktime, I wanted to look at them. But, for some reason when I was watching my iMovie videos on Quicktime, it included every little bit of my clips. It didn't crop the clips at all. It showed everything. I'm kind of upset about this because I have projects due this month and I really didn't want part of some clips to show. I really needed them cropped and/or ken-burned. Plus, I need to set them on HD.
Whenever I played it back in the iMovie preview, my videos played exactly as I wanted it to play. The cutaway clips, picture-in-picture clips, and the side-by-side clips were cropped and ken-burned just as I wanted it to be. But, on my Quicktime, it didn't do the same.
Here's the procedure that I use to export my videos:
Step 1: I finish making my video with the cutaway clips, picture-in-picture clips, and side-by-side clips already cropped and/or ken-burned.
Step 2: I click on "Share." Then, I click on "Export using Quicktime."
Step 3: I click on "Options."
Step 4: I click on "Settings." Then, I make sure the Compression Type is H.264, Frame Rate is Current fps, Key Frames is on Every 24 frames, Frame Reordering is checked, Compressor Quality is on Best, Encoding is on Best Quality (Multi-pass), and the Data Rate is on Automatic. After this is done, I click "OK."
Step 5: I click on "Size." I make sure the Dimensions is on 1920 x 1080 HD (mainly because I really need it in HD for doing projects for school and uploading other videos to Youtube, Dailymotion, and other sites). I also click on Preserve aspect ratio using: Letterbox. Then, I click "OK."
Step 6: After I set the settings for Sound, I make sure that Prepare for Internet Streaming is on Fast Start. Then, I press "OK."
Step 7: I save my file name and export to Quicktime.
Step 8: Once it already exports to Quicktime, I open the file and look at my video that I just made. (At this point, I realized that my videos that were used as cutaways, picture-in-pictures, and side-by-side clips didn't show the parts I cropped or ken-burned on. It practically showed every little part of that clip that I use those effects on. I really wanted it to be cropped or ken-burned as much as possible.)
So, that's my problem that I have at the moment. I really needed it cropped and/or ken-burned and set the video on HD. I would really appreciate your thoughts on how I should fix this problem.

On one of my clips it says:
Format: Apple Intermediate Codec, 1280 x 720, Millions
16-bit integer (Little Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
Current Size: 1280 x 720 pixels (Actual)
Another clip I use says:
Format: Apple Intermediate Codec, 960 x 540, Millions
16-bit integer (Little Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
Current Size: 960 x 540 pixels (Actual)

I would like to use slideshow in lightroom to export my video as a full screen 1920x1080 video with text overlays. I am using text overlay in lightroom as it reads from the metadata that is easy for me to input in the library screen. When i export from lightroom slideshow and choose the 1920x1080 resolution the end product is a very small video in the middle of a black background. i have double checked and do not have any borders turned on. Another option would be to export from the library but lr mogrify does not seem to put text overlays on video either. Any input would be welcome.

I dont understand anything you said in your post.
Do you have a specific question about video production?
The forums are for individual technical or creative issues that users have with video production. I am sur someone will be able to help you, but and to get a response it is best to ask a specific question.
Is this about a technical problem you have or something about setting up a web site? If its the latter this is the wrong forum.

Test: Using Crop marks in indesign CS4 with Epson 3800 Mac 10.5.7

Jun 19, 2009 9:35 PM
Crop marks using indesign CS4 with Epson 3800 Mac 10.5.7
My crop marks and pages are printing larger than my document sizes. My paper size is 13x19, so I should have crop marks at the exact corners of the page sizes. But indesign is printing the entire document larger. So my document which is 11x14.75 is now printing 11.25x15.5. All my settings are correct. So, is anyone else using an Epson 3800 with CS4 indesign having issues such as the above? And can I ask (beg) a few of you to do a test print with crop marks and let me know the results?
My workflow has been completely stalled because I can't get my pages to print the right sizes with the crop marks at the right measurements. I'm printing a photo portfolio on the Lumijet double sided paper and "when" it did work awhile back sometime several months ago, the finals looked great. I've already reinstalled both the Epson 3800 driver and the Indesign CS4 software, but the results are still the same.
So, here are my settings:
document size: 11x14.75
in the print panel:
Printer: Epson 3800
Setup: Paper size: Super A3/B13x19, scale 100% width & height, page position Centered
Marks & Bleed: Marks: "Crop Marks" checked. offset: 0, weight: .25, Bleed and Slug: Use Document bleed settings, include slug area. The bleed is 0 for top, bottom, left and right
Color Management: Document profile: Adobe RGB, Options: Indesign handles colors, Printer Profile: (A custom made profile using Xrite for the 3800 with Lumijet paper)
The settings on the Epson 3800
Epson 3800 Printer
Presets (set for the profile mentioned above)
No Color management
Sometimes, on a whim, the printer and indesign cooperate together like good little children should. But not often. And I can not conclude why they are nice to each other sometimes, but given the same detailed data at other times, they fight.
If anyone could run through a similar process using indesign with a photo layout and setting up the printer settings for both the Epson 3800 and in the indesign program and let me know their results, I would value your conclusions very much. You don't even have to waste paper or ink. Finally, after wasting so many pages of paper and of ink. I deleted the photos from the page, and printed it blank with only the crop marks for me to measure if it was coming out right or not.
Thank you for any response. And feel free to call me if you want to vent about Epson 3800's or about Indesign CS4 anytime! I'm up late.... 646 256 8853.

I specified the paper size as strictly 13x19, no boarderless, no retain size. Same problem. I also did as you suggested below. The pdf document does remain true to the document. As a pdf doc. I changed the color mgmt to Adobe rgb 1998. It looks okay, but not as lively as I get when printing correctly with my color mgmt working and in sync.
Your final question about simply using photoshop. Well... I might go back to it and give up on Indesign if this is the case that it won't simply crop my documents to the sizes that I input them to be cropped as. But, I am using Indesign so that I can create a page layout that I can't do in Photoshop. My folio is about 25 or more pages with double page spreads. I am printing on a two-sided Lumijet paper and my folio was custom designed to be cut out at 11x14.75. If and when it is printed correctly, I am printing on both sides of the paper and trimming it to exact size.
It sounds as if you have exhausted the potential problems and don't have a clear explanation for why the doc isn't printing correctly in Indesign either with the color mgmt. or the document sizes. I'll try one more print using a different color profile similar enough to get at minimum, an okay print. If it doesn't print at least okay, then it isn't most likely my profile..... Okay done. Crazy. The color is inaccurate, but for some reason or another, the document size printed correctly. It measured exactly 11x14.75. What I have done during this period of time is:
First) I did as you suggested and turned the Print to Adobe PDF 9 and created a print there. I measured it and it did measure correctly. I didn't love the color, but... at least it is measuring correctly.
Second) I turned the Printer back to Epson 3800 (I'm beginning to think that this simple gesture was what caused the printer to print correctly) I didn't change any settings, but I did make sure that they were set correctly as before. The paper size was set to 13x19. When I make sure this setting is right in the "printer" dialogue for the Epson 3800, and then switch back to ID, the printer dialogue in Id changes to "Define by Printer." But I changed nothing, other than the profile to an older one that I used before. The color is still inaccurate, but at least for two prints just now back to back, the measurements were correct. What to do? Lol.
Thanks again for all of your time spent trying to resolve this issue.
Sincerely,
Thaddeus

Pixel Dimensions after Cropping with "Use Photo Ratio"

Why don't Pixel Dimensions (and Document Size) change for Image Size after cropping with "Use Photo Ratio" like it does after cropping with "No Restriction"? Using Photoshop Elements 10 and Crop Tool defaults.

Thank you all. I think I figured out how to crop using "Use Photo Ratio"
with Crop tool so that I can ensure that my photos are cropped only
proportionately and PSE 10 doesn't upsample pixels:
1) Select Crop tool.
2) Set "Use Photo Ratio" in Aspect Ratio setting in Options bar if not
already set.
3) Make crop selection as usual but don't complete (commit) crop. Will
only be able to crop proportionately.
4) When ready to complete crop, change Aspect Ratio setting to "No
Restriction" which blanks out width, height and resolution setting.
5) Complete (commit) crop as usual.
Photo will be cropped proportionately, width and height will change
automatically to cropped size and pixels will not be upsampled avoiding
lose of detail, that is, PSE will behave as though No Restriction had been
specified from the outset. Blanking width and height before making crop
selection forces either Custom or No Restriction setting which means that
PSE will let me make non-proportional crop.
PS. IMHO I think making "Use Photo Ratio" force upsampling is NOT a good
"design feature" when you are not warned about it and are not given a
choice to not make it upsample.

How to add black bars to SIDES of image? Using 'Crop' won't work for this. I explain why.

I have some clips that are off axis and I applied a bit of tilt to correct them. However, I now need to crop the sides giving me a 1.66:1 effect inside the 1.85:1 frame. But how/ Using CROP in Premiere Pro just crops the image off axis. Here is a screen grab...
How can I get a nice, perfect side crop? I've searched, folks, so would appreciate some guidance. Thanks!

4 point garbage matte to crop.
Or overlay a title with black pillars.

Why can I no longer use AirPlay with my Slingbox? New updates break complatibility?

Why can I no longer use AirPlay with my Slingbox? New updates break complatibility?

You already seem to know what the issue is, it is the parallax feature that was added to iOS 7. From your rant, it appears that your attempt to work around this was not successful. According to the Apple documents I've seen, they recommend that you enlarge your image (not reduce it). Make your image have excess space on all sides, which is not displayed on the screen. This way, when you tilt your device one direction or another, it can shift the image to give the appearance of 3D.
As a photographer, I like to use the full frame of my images, but I also know that I need to leave room around the image as well. I have some photos I have taken that I can't use because I have them cropped too tightly too, but I have others that work just fine. Just remember that part of the image file is "off screen" so that if iOS has to shift the image up it has some image that can scroll onto the screen. It needs this space on all sdes, so just make youre images larger, and keep in mind that a portion on each side will be outside the normally visible screen... If you don't like this feature, you can always go into the settigns and turn it off.

Using images with Transparency in Photobooks

I'm to a point where I would like to use images that utilize transparency in Aperture photo books. Is this possible? So far, PSD files that I've cropped with PS's lasso tools to have transparent areas surrounding their subject tend to change this area to white when dropped into a book.
Does anyone know of a way or format to use to retain this transparency? I love the speed of Aperture's photobook tools, along with export and printing options, and would like to be able to layer images that bleed together, or have a cut-out subject on top of others, but I haven't noticed a way as of yet.
Is this ability even available in Aperture yet?
If not, is there a third party plugin that gives it to the user when making photo books?
Please let me know soon, else i'm going to have to adjust my workflow back to photoshop only for page set layouts and the created PSD files on blank book pages- not fun.

i have been trying different ways to make it work fine, and find several things to consider:
Note: for the next ways i tried with images with transparency.
1 searching images in the iPad with safari and saving it into Photo app
then copying it with the popup and pasting it with the popup inside Pages or Keynote:
work fine.
2 using the saved images that worked fine in the first way but
then inside Pages in my opened document, using the menu to import the image from the
Photo app, to insert the same downloaded image used in the first case:
does not work, the image appears with a white background.
3 trying the first way (manually copying and pasting) but with the images i imported from
my MacBook Pro using the normal way via iTunes(10.1.1 (4))
does not work, some images appears with a black background, other images
appears with a white background.
4 trying with the images of the third way, but changing the method using the photo app
menu from Pages
does not work as in the third way
i dont have problem using transparency images in the first complex way.
my problem is when i try to use images with transparency in the other three normal ways.

Using Maven with OC4J libraries?

Well its my turn for a return question to the fine folks on this forum.
Is anyone out there using Maven with OC4J? I've been using it lately, but there's one area that I'd like to see ideas on how to best approach.
When developing Ant scripts to build projects, I typically create a j2ee.classpath PATH and add to it various jar files from the OC4J distribution.

However in Maven, I'm not sure how to best approach this with the OC4J JAR files since several of them have declared dependencies in their META-INF/MANIFEST.MF Class-Path fields -- so they aren't really standalone JAR files. 
Take a look at the j2ee/home/admin_client.jar file and its manifest.mf:

Class-Path: lib/adminclient.jar oc4jclient.jar ../../webservices/lib/wsserver.jar lib/ejb.jar
lib/mx4j-jmx.jar lib/jmxri.jar lib/jmx_remote_api.jar lib/jaas.jar ../../lib/xmlparserv2.jar
../../oracle/lib/xmlparserv2.jar lib/javax77.jar lib/javax88.jar ../../diagnostics/lib/ojdl.jar
../../oracle/lib/dms.jar ../../oracle/jlib/dms.jar ../../lib/dms.jar ../../jlib/dms.jar lib/jta.jar
lib/jms.jar lib/connector.jar ../../opmn/lib/optic.jar ../../oracle/jlib/oraclepki.jar ../../jlib
oraclepki.jar ../../oracle/jlib/ojpse.jar ../../oracle/jdbc/lib/ojdbc14dms.jar ../../oracle/jdbc/lib
ocrs12.jar ../../oracle/rdbms/jlib/aqapi.jar ../../jlib/ojpse.jar
So if I want to make use admin_client.jar in a maven project, I really need all the other libraries it in turn references -- and they are all specified as relative paths. If I wanted to load admin_client.jar into a local Maven repository, how would it be done? How would these paths be expressed/maintained?

Kristen:
You can use iPhoto Library Manager to copy that album to one library so that all of the files will be in one library to use.
with iPLM you can split libraries up by roll or album or both. Jusgt figure out which library which albums will belong to.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Cropping with media encoder withour black lines

I found a number of similar posts, but none solve the same problem I have:
When I save a video in Premiere CS3 with the media encoder, I get black lines on the sides of the video. I noticed that I use crop (in the encoder) of 4:3 but it actually gives me a window that isn't of that exact size (for instance 200X151 pixels). I save the video (in MPEG-2) in size 360X270, so the extra pixels might be the cause of the black lines.
When I crop to some rectangle and save the video in the exact same pixel sizes (not just ratio), I don't get the lines.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of the black lines?
Thanks!
Aya

The project settings are desktop editing, 30 fps, size 360X270, square pixels, lower field first (I don't know which settings are important for this)
The video I load is with codec VP6F (FFMPEG) - I have flv and using virtualDub I converted them to avi, trying to keep the original quality (which isn't too good to begin with), so I could work with premiere.
Then, in premiere, the only way I found to crop the video (without it being resized) to the size I wanted was to use the media encoder, and only MPEG-2 codec (for some reason all other codecs that I tried resulted in a movie with problems, like jumping or blurring)
I've been working for days trying to get an flv into premiere, then cropped and edited in premiere (I cut short clips from the original movie) and back to an avi with some standard codec.
The main problem is currently the black bars (but any general suggestions would also be helpful :). The only way I managed to somehow get rid of them is to save the movie in the exact size of the cropping (which isn't really good, because I need to resize). But then when I open the video in VirtualDubMod it has black bars again...
Help!
Thanks,
Aya

Trouble with advanced overlay colors

I'm creating some buttons in photoshop that require advanced overlay colors. For some reason I cant get dvdsp to respond to anything other than black or white as a highlight. I have the grey settings right as far as I can tell ( 66%, 33%, or 168, 168, 168- 84, 84, 84) but I just dont have any seperate control over those areas in the button. The best I've gotten is out of a solid gray triangle, I can get the slightest impression of it when I set that gray to 15 opacity and a bright color.
any ideas?

I'm not trying to make a layered menu. In fact, really I'm not even trying to make a menu with an overlay, although maybe that is the only way to achieve what I'm trying (which may not really be worth it at this point, but I'm trying to figure out exactly how it works).
Maybe I've made incorrect assumptions about how to work with buttons, highlights and overlays. Hopefully someone can set me straight.
When you make a custom button, it is a 4 layer psd. The highlight layer's black content becomes the highlight of the button and you can adjust the highlights appearance using the sliders in the inspector when set to "simple overlay colors". Logically, and with the sort of obtuse explanation in the manual, I'm under the impression that I could switch to advanced overlay colors, take that highlight layer, make it a grayscale image and manipulate the various tones individually. Am I wrong to think this? Is the only proper way to do this by setting an overlay on the entire menu?

Image disappearance upon using crop tool.

Using photoshop elements 6 , OSX 10.5, image disappears after using crop tool.
Have reinstalled software, but no affect. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi Barbara... I am wondering if I can still get a bit of help in this topic. I tried that, but the files you mentioned are not in my preferences folder in my library. I am running CS4 on OS X 10.9.5 with a 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and an NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB graphics card(s).in another forum it was mentioned to go to Preferences>Performance>Advanced Settings>Change the drawing mode to 'Basic', but that didn't work. Another said almost the same thing but to check off the Open GL tab... also didn't work... I am at a loss... Can you or anyone else for that matter, help?
Thanks!

Crop with applescript

Hello,
i am using applescript with photoshop 7.x with scripting plugin on OSX 10.4.11 to crop our photos. if i use a photoshop version newer than this the images always result in low resolution (also specifying a "resolution"-parameter to the crop command.
does anybody have a solution for this problem ?
thank you and best regards
Chris

What newer version are you testing with? post your code. It could be that you need to specify the array in pixel values

Video Capture in Mavericks Results in a MOV with Red Overlay

I discovered today when using the iShowU and Quicktime video screen capture utilities that iMovie shows the MOV files with a bright red overlay. Previous MOV files before Mavericks are not affected. I managed a workaround by discovering that in iShowU, the red screen did not come up on captures that had the 'follow mouse' option checked. On these captures, the screen focus follows the mouse pointer rather than staying fixed.
Quicktime is able to capture and display the MOV files unaffected, so it would appear that the issue is with the combination of iMovie and Mavericks.

FCPX shows these .mov files with red overlay too.
temporary workaround is to open these mov files with quicktime pro and export them as mp4 for example.
after that the screen recording appear without red overlay in FCPX
