Video Crop and Resize

Not sure if this is a bug but it's frustrating! I'm using the
Mac version of Flash CS3. I set everything up correctly to crop a
video clip (dragging the sliders in the 'Crop and Resize' tab). I
then start the queue etc. The resulting flv has NOT cropped as I
specified?? I get strange sizes, distortions etc. This also happens
by direct import to the stage (embed or external).
Also I find that I need to check the 'Resize Video' check box
even if I don't want to resize the video to get Flash to import at
the correct size of the original! This renders the cropping tool
useless. Any ideas anyone?

I've since done some tests. The issue appears to be related
to the source video and not the Flash Video Encoder, particularly
the compression format. I have a set of clips at the same size but
the compression formats are different (I checked the movie
properties in QuickTime). Sorenson versions seem to crop and resize
OK, but the DV format doesn't.
At least the Flash side of things are fine.

Crop and Resize video in AME at the same time !

Hi everybody
I'm new to Adobe Media Encoder CS4, used to encode with Flash Video Encoder.
It seems that is it impossible with AME CS4 to crop and resize a video at the same time.
In input i have a 1280*720 video, that I first resize to obtain the desired height (300px)
so i obtain a 533*300 video,but when i would like to crop it in the same operation, that's not work, it doesn't keep the height i want (300px)
If I start by cropping my video, i obtain a 538*683 video, but i can't resize after, because the width and height in right panel are in grey, inaccessible.
In Flash Video Encoder (with Flash 8) it was possible to do this 2 operations at the same time, why doesn't this work in AME CS4 ?
(please excuse my poor english ^^)
Thanx by advance

Cropping and resizing Images using Adobe Photoshop Elements 12

I am trying to edit pictures for my web site and previously used adobe photo shop 4 which I liked very well. When I try to crop and resize in photoshop 12 have been unable to adjust the images using pixels. As every photo on my website needs to be in pixels then this is a big problem for me! Is there anyway to change the preferences in the settings? Thanks Tess

Crop and Resize photo within the COD service in ESS

Anyway to crop and resize photo within the COD webdynpro java component in ESS?

No what i mean is how to allow the user to upload a photo using the COD service but also allow them to crop and resize the image as documented here:
[How to Add Image Crop and Resize Capabilities in Web-Based Applications|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/10ab79a4-1fc2-2b10-29bb-ef9ff6771e72]
The solution above does not use the webdynpro COD service in ESS, it is a portal component with embedded JavaScript which also only stores the photo on portal only (not the infotype in ECC). I guess I need to figure out how to add these javascript files to the webdynpro COD service in ESS. Although I don't think Webdynpro Java allows you to add javascript.

Adobe Media Encoder CS5 - Can we crop and resize at the same time?

Flash 8's video encoder, use to let you crop (cut x amount of pixels out) and then resize a video (and in that order it did it).
CS5's Media Encoder is confusing, from what I can tell it cannot do both, you either can crop or resize but not both. ANd if you can do both, you definately cant crop before the resize. So which is it?
Resizing made sense last, because you could put in new values for the resize nad figure out how much you need to crop out.
Please help this is driving me insane.

Everyone in my office has the same problem!
We really need an alternative to AME both because of the crop/resize problem and many other seamingly random issues with preview and export.
Adobe Media Encoder sucks...

Video formats and resizing

Hi All,
Before emabrking on a further iTunes ugrade I was wondering whether anybody knows whether iTunes will import video into itunes like it does music.
That is, will it take a mpg file or avi and convert it to mov/mp4 thatit can deal with.
Also will do what it does with photos and the ipod, ie will it resize (optimise) the video to the QVGA size for display on the new iPod, leaving the high res movie on the computer for viewing on the monitor?
Anybody have any idea?
Cheers

Crop and resize images on iPhone - app recommendations?

Does anyone know of a photo-editing app for iPhone that lets you crop an image and also resize to a preferred pixel ratio?
On my Mac at home I use Photoshop for this (setting the crop-to width at 500 px and then simply cropping the part of the image I want to use), but it would be super-handy if I could load the high-res images onto my iPhone and do it on the move.
I tried the Photoshop app, but although it lets you crop, there doesn't seem to be a resize function.
Any ideas?

Hi Jennifer, I guess It's not possible do what I want directly from iPhone.
My problem is pinch to small size and keep it then and send to Instagram. When I double tap the image enlarge, so I double tap again and the image go back to normal size. When I pinch to small size that I want and leave my fingers the image goes back to regular size.
I'm reading others foruns and I guess I have to use some app to post 3:4 photo, like Squaready. I'm trying and seems It work. It need to resize and crop and make all adjustments.
Thanks for help.

Grey stripes after cropping and resizing any raw file

Dear Members,
this is an important issue which has forced me to suspend my regular workflow in Photoshop for now. I have updated my graphic drivers but nothing has changed so far (I currently have a Nvidia GTX 580, Intel i7 3770k, 32GB of RAM). I'll describe the issue using a sample raw image publicly released for testing purposes for the Nikon D3200 camera. I open the file in Bridge as usual and edit it with Camera Raw (I have version 8.7.1 now, I have the most updated version of PS as well). I'll low down the Exposure, the Blacks and increase the Contrast somewhat just to make the issue more visible. Then I import the file in Photoshop for other adjustments. First, I crop any area with the crop tool, and then resize it through Image -> Image Resize. Notice that the issue shows up only by resizing after cropping. I choose, say, a new width of 1024px, and then press Ok. Then an irregular pattern of both horizontal and verticle straight grey lines shows up:
My current Workflow Options in Camera Raw are set as follows:
Color Space: ProPhoto RGB
Depth: 16 Bits/Channel
Image Sizing, Output Sharpening and Photoshop boxes are unchecked.
This is from Edit->Color Settings in Photoshop:
I didn't try to test the issue by changing every single option in my workflow. I can only say that it just happens with any raw files under the settings I posted. JPGs work fine.
I would appreciate if you will solve what it is a very serious problem for my everyday work.
Best Regards.

Which version of Photoshop are you using? I tried to re-create this issue and could not:
If you are using lens corrections in ACR, turn them off. They are know to cause issues at times.
If still not working, try resetting the crop tool:
Now try resetting the image size tool. Press Alt and the "cancel" will turn into a "reset."
If still not working, try a preference reset: Ctrl+Alt+Shift as you initiate Photoshop's startup. It will ask if you would like to proceed, select "yes."
If still not working, I suggest you both submit a bug report here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&loc=en
Be sure to include as much information as you can.. System, Photoshop version, ACR version etc...
You could also try a re-install before submitting bug report.

Automated cropping and resizing with user interaction

Dear all,
after hours of tests with batch processing and search in the internet maybe somebody of you can help me:
I have roughly 3000 jpgs. in one folder (all different sizes and proportions), and I need all of them cropped to a specific proportion (width:height = 4:3) and then resized to a specific size (e.g. 800 x 600px). Batch processing can do a lot, but one critical step is not possible: As soon as one picture has been loaded into PS, I need a user interaction to determine the crop area freely (size and position) before the rest of the process (cropping, resizing and saving) can run automatically again.
For example a picture of 2000 x 1000 px: The"crop window" lets me to choose an arbitrary area concering size and position (i.e.at 20px from the left, and 10 px from the top, size 1000 x 750 px = fixed aspect ratio - and different for each picture), then the cropped area is resized to 800 x 600px, then it is saved.(Similar to the marquee tool with fixed aspect ratio)
The crucial act is the interaction with the "proportional cropping". If the resizing is not possible in the first step, I coudl also do this with a second batch run myself.
If somebody can help me, I would be very glad....
Thanks a lot,
Elmar Hartje

Video cropping and zooming issue

I'm new to this product and couldn't find my specific issue (or at least didn't recognize it).
I was using downloaded video to make a simple music video (to experiment with on the trial version). So I have the first clip in the sequence and then I add a second clip and after working with it for a few minutes notice that in the sequence viewer the video is enlarged and the sides are cropped so I'm only seeing an enlarged picture of the center. The zoom was still on fit though. I don't understand why the video was automatically zoomed and cropped by Premiere and when I delete the clip and put it back in it does the same.
Any insight?
The first clip in the video was a 640 x 360 While the second video was 1280 x 720 and both had square pixels (1.0)
They were however both WMVs.

The fact that the Zoom level is set to Fit means that the view in the Program Monitor is zoomed to fit the panel, not that the clip is scaled to fit the sequence.
If your second clip is larger than the first, and you place the second clip into a sequence that is sized for the first, then you are naturally only going to see a piece (such as the cropped center in your case) unless you scale the second clip down. Or use a bigger sequence.
If you want the clip to automatically be scaled to fit the sequence, then you can turn on the Default Scale To Frame Size preference. (See this for a video explanation of that preference.)
In general, you scale with the Scale property of the Motion effect, not with the Zoom setting in the panel.

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.........;-)

Cropping when moving and resizing a cropping rectangle

I created a program that crops an image and displays the cropped image but I'm trying to add more functionality
by making it movable and resizable. The rectangle moves and resizes but it only crops an image when user draws the rectangle and not when moved or resized. I know that the X,Y, height and width position of the rectangle would need to be updated but I'm not
sure how I can accomplish this being new to WPF. Below is my user control "CropControl and the code behind. Also, I'm implementing my code using MVVM framework.

Hello HotSawz,
The ResizeThumb and MoveThumb is not in your code so I cannot compile. Anyway, it is not the problem.
Anyway, can you clarify more details about "it only crops an image when user draws the rectangle and not when moved or resized", it is already normal behavoir for you to draw a rectangle and then move it. What kind of action do you want? Do you
mean some controls like this:

How merge audio/video for easy cropping and editing

I'm trying to build a movie by importing my audio and video clips separately from Cinematize. (This is the only solution because Imovie has a bug and shows the movie file as distorted widescreen - and transitions don't work with a .dv file) I have about 5 different extracted imports - or 5 clips. That means 5 video.mov files and 5 .aiff files
The problem is this - I want to lock/merge the audio to the video FOR EACH CLIP - not to the play head. I want to end up with several merged audio/video clips for easy cropping. Is this possible? Otherwise how do I crop the video clips and keep the audio clips exactly in sync?

Hi:
You can make your movie and export back to tape and then reimport to imovie, Then the audio will be on the actual video clips.

Why is my project video jittery as I crop and add clips

Why when I crop a video clip and drag it from event area to project area does the project video clips get jittery looking? Am I cropping them wrong or doing something? Or is the format wrong. I have always cropped and added bits of the video from event to the project area and this hasnt happened before. Please help! Thank you in advance for your time and expertise.
Blessinsg Cindy

There is no way to trouble shoot this problem without comp details or a screenshot. The only guess I can make is that your work area is set to 10 seconds. The other guess is that 10 seconds is the limit of your ram preview because of system resources.
