Video sizes

In iMovie HD, I noticed that the first few clips also have an aspect ratio issue (where part of the screen is just a black border [as shown below]). how do i fix it?

Before you start your project, set the aspect ratio in Preferences:
DV = 4:3
DV Widescreen = 16:9
Do NOT check the box 'Atomatic pillarboxing'.
From your photo it looks like you have set it for widescreen, then imported a 4:3 movie.

  • Using a function to change Netstream video size.

    Hi folks,
    forgive me I am new to script in Flex.  I got an Application that has two scripted functions.  The first is called at creationComplete and sets up a netconnect/netstream video playback.  And a second that is fired when a button is clicked, which sets the application to Full Screen.  What I want to do is resize the video at the same time.  For testing purpose I am using hard coded values that match my monitor size.
    The problem I am having is that the code I wrote to change the video size spits out an error "1120: Access of undefined property vid."  - Is it possible to have one function access the vairibles of another function?
    My code:
    <mx:Script>
            <![CDATA[
                private function initApp():void
                    var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
                    nc.connect(null);
                    var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
                    ns.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR, asyncErrorHandler); 
                    ns.addEventListener(DRMAuthenticateEvent.DRM_AUTHENTICATE, DRMAuthHandler);
                    ns.play("gm.f4v");
                    function asyncErrorHandler(event:AsyncErrorEvent):void
                        // ignore error
                    var vid:Video = new Video();
                    vid.attachNetStream(ns);
                    vidUI.addChild(vid);
                    vid.width=851;
                    vid.height=480;

                    vid.width=1920;
                    vid.height=1080;
            ]]>
        </mx:Script>
    I want the function goFull to change the video size that is loaded from the initApp function.... possible?
    Cheers!

    fmt.size = newvalue;
    textfield.setTextFormat(fmt)
    textfield.defaultTextFormat = fmt; // ensure that text typed after the change is same size

  • Out of range output video size ?

    Hello,
    I would like to use a camera which has a large output size, more than 1920x1080.
    When I select the camera, I've a message :
    Out of range output video size
    One or more output video width and height are out of range. Please provide video size in range 80x60 to 1920x1080.
    Is it a limitation of FMLE or FMS ? (I think it's FMLE because the message appears even if the "save to file" is the only publishing format selected)
    Is there a way to edit a confugration file to remove this limit ?
    Best regards,

    why don't you change that background to what you want in desktop system preferences when the second monitor is connected? different monitors have different desktop backgrounds and they remember the settings from the last time they were connected.

  • Editing video in native video sizes - Premiere CS3/CS4

    How do I edit with non-specific video sizes such as 640x360 which my still camera captures video to? Everything in Prem CS3 or CS4 seems to be preset editting size environments? I would like to edit the video in it's native resolution and output in it's native resolution.
    Thanks in advance...............

    ========
    That is what my feeble memory is telling me too: CS3 was per Project, and the "Custom" was called Desktop Mode, where the attributes could be altered to suit
    ========
    thats how it works with my cs3... and as you need to match the source in that desktop mode ( and even choose a rendering codec )..its a good idea to use mediainfo or gspot and make notes about video and audio as necessary so that when you 'duplicate' that in the desktop ( custom ) settings you get the right project settings.

  • Final Cut Pro X Exported Video Size

    I've recently bought Final Cut Pro X and use it for editing videos before uploading to YouTube.  I used to export my videos from iMovie as a .mov file to my hard drive to then manually upload to YouTube.  There doesn't seem to be this option in Final Cut, so I've taken to using the YouTube share feature but it never uploads so I just manually upload the .mov file that it saves somewhere in the Final Cut shared files folder.
    The problem I have is that I export a 720P file so assumed that the video size would be 1280 x 720, it always was with iMove.  I've found that Final Cut spits out the video at 1248 x 702 and this is quite annoying as it sometimes cuts off the top and bottom of a video.  Is there any reason why it does this or any way to get it to export at the correct display size?

    How can I change the size? Normally I export at 720P in iMovie and the video and format are both 1280 x 720.  I did a screencast using Quicktime and due to the change in display size it's chopped off the toolbar at the top and a small portion of the dock.  I've had to resize the clip in Final Cut to 95% of the original size to get it to fit in the 1248 x 702 size that it chooses to put it in.
    As this was only a screencast the file size tends to be this small, but normally I shoot at full HD on my camcorder and the video can be about 10 mins in length.  I used the export media function and the resulting file was about 8GB in size!  iMovie would typically give me a .mov file anywhere between 700MB - 1.5GB depedning on the length of the video and that suited me fine, but there doesn't seem to be any way to get it that small using the Export Media.  Not much of a problem really coz I'm fine using the YouTube share option to get what I want.

  • How do you increase the video size with a button?

    I'm trying to set up a demo for a meeting. I want to show how
    you can increase the size of the video.
    Example:
    http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1532523169750528353
    There are two buttons in the bottom right corner of the
    player that will increase the video size.

    I havn't tried this but I would thinkg that this could work:
    If you have a video object on your stage (the object that the video
    actually plays in) you could probably make a button that simply
    changes the dimensions of it such as:
    setProperty("theVideoPlayer",_height, 240);
    setProperty("theVideoPlayer",_width, 320);
    The movie should adjust to fit the screen, however if you
    make the movie larger than or a different aspect ratio than the
    original, it will be blurred or distorted respectively. Make your
    original movie, therefore, at the largest size you want it to be
    seen. Keep the aspect ration the same always.

  • HELP ! Need to change video size in project sequence...

    When creating a project last month I accidently created it as 1280x960 in the sequence settings, but meant to create it as a 1920x1080 which is what all the video clips are in size. Now I have this nicely edited project but need to convert it to a 1920x1080 in the sequence settings so I can export it as that size. When I go into the sequence settings now this option is grayed out and it won't let me. I have read many forums and they say it’s as simple as creating a new sequence with the right settings and importing the old sequence but when I do this it is still as 1280x960. So my question is other than re-editing this entire project, how can I take this current project with sequence settings as 1280x960 and change the video size to 1920x1080 (Which is what the video clips are originally and when I right click on the individual videos it says 1920x1080). PLEASE help, I am using PP CS5 !!! This is so frustrating !

    Create a new Sequence with the settings you prefer,
    then Copy > Paste the clips into the new Sequence.
    Be sure that your Sequence settings match your footage by doing this:
    Or, right-click a media file and select 'New Sequence From Clip".
    How do I choose the right sequence settings?

    note:
    You may need to re-create audio effects that you applied in the Mixer
    in the first Sequence, or you can use your first Sequence as a mixed,
    nested audio track for the new properly configured Sequence.

  • IBook Author of the video size

    I would like to know what's best way to set up iBook Author of the video size and format file for all ipad devices including ipad air.
    I already knew about this part:
       •    To create up to a 420p movie: Select “iPod touch & iPhone 3GS.”
       •    To create up to a 720p movie: Select “iPad, iPhone 4 & Apple TV.”
       •    The numbers refer to the number of vertical lines. For the best quality, select the 720p (iPad) option
    I wonder if I can set up the aspect ratios like 4:3 frame (small video of box with story) in iBook Author for ipad air to be able to see this on full screen from iBook shelf.  I have ipad and ipad mini but I don't have ipad air.  I wonder if it will have good quality video like 4:3 ratio for ipad air screen with Retina display? Since Apple support didn't provide enough details how the overall video would look like on screen without stretching or using proper proportions.
    Thanks,
    Alfredo

    If you create a 1024x768 video, you will be making the fullest possible use of screen real estate on a non-retina iPad (no letter boxing or pillars needed). Double that to 2048x1536 for retina.
    Having said that, I should  point out that the dynamic duo of iOS and the iPad;s video firmware provide some of the best scaling routines I have seen. So 1024x768 video on a retina iPad will look just fine. With moving pictures, high resolution doesn't return as much benefit as it does with static images.
    It would be interesting to see what the video optimizer in iBooks Author does with 2048x1536 video. To find out, we'll need to use iBooks Author to create project file that includes a 2048x1537 video and then export as *ibooks and deconstruct that *.ibooks file.

  • How to change export video size settings?

    I just upgraded from iMovie to Final Cut Pro X.
    I am trying to export my 1080P content as a 720P file, something that was very easy on the basic iMovie setup.
    I noticed when I tried to export to Vimeo I was given options for file quality and video size.
    Where do I find those options if I am doing an export to a file as opposed a direct Vimeo upload (i.e. Quicktime)?
    Please don't tell me I have to buy Compressor for this...
    Thank you!

    Share>Export Using Compressor Settings>Apple>Apple Devices>HD for Apple Devices (10mbps)
    This will give 1280x720 HD
    I don't think you need Compressor as the Compressor Settings are included in FCP X  .  .  .  I hope!

  • Maximum Video Size in Flash??

    Hello,
    I'm currently working on a website design. The idea is a big chromakeyed interactive video in Flash. The size of the video is 1080 (width) x 1500 (height) pixels.
    I've exported the video in After Effects with the standard settings for flash (File>Export>Adobe Flash Player(SWF)). Now when I import the video in Flash and preview the file, the video plays in a slower speed and it's not playing smooth at all...
    Is the video too big? Is there a maximum video-size to keep the video running correct in Flash? Is it something else that causes this problem..???
    I hope one of you guys can help me with this, hope to hear from you soon!

    Could be a mismatch of frame rates. For example, if you are using 30 fps in AE and 24 in Flash, and then you embed the video into the time line, it will play at 24 fps, slow and jerky.
    However if the video file was a .flv and you played the video by NetStream or FLVPlayback, it would playback at 30 fps, even if the Flash doc had a fps of 24.
    If that doesn't fix it, try exporting the file from AE as an flv.
    Best wishes,

  • Editing non standard video sizes

    Hello everyone.
    I have a load of video which is 1120 x 593 its basically screen capture video from my PC in mov format.  All i want to do is edit these clips together and add some nice effects.  So anyway i toddled off and bought a copy of of premier elements and started movie making!
    Anyway i can't seem to figure out how to retain the size of my video as ive got to use a project template, which is great if you are using video from a device but my video is a non standard size.  Surely there is a way of doing this? 
    Do i have to make sure that my imput video matches one of the template, surely not?  You must be able somehow to do your own size?
    Thanks

    Thank you for replying.
    Basically I like to fly x-plane flight simulator which gives you the ability to record your flying and outputs the video as a high quality mov. I wanted to use premier elements just to make a movie of different clips and just add a few effects and titles  I was just going to output them as fla to watch on my pc or the web.  Or as Mpeg 4 to put into powerpoints
    I tried using some of the presets but the quality is either awful or i get the black border.
    I seems that only the profesional edition allows you to set the frame to desktop and use a custom size.   I just can't believe that you need to spend £500 on the CS5 edition to do this? I'm not wanting to do anything clever here, just change the video size.
    Ive got a sinking feeling ive just wasted £75.

  • Video size during full screen show up as half the size

    I was watching a south park episode and wanted to close it. The option to get out of full screen wasn't working so I right clicked the screen which brought up a menu. Choices were Half screen through full screen and i clicked half screen. Now whenever I try to full screen it always shows up with a really small screen and i cannot change it.
    I have gone through all the options and nothing lets you control the size of the full screen so i am guessing this is a bug. Any help would be great

    Just press CTRL + 3 while in Fullscreen "mode" to enable the video size to "Fit To Screen".
    You probably pressed CTRL + 0 at some point, reducing the video size to half size while in fullscreen mode.
    Cheers!

  • Custom video sizes?
