What video filter do I use

Hello, I just can't seem to find the correct filter I need for this effect. Basically all I want to do is create a mask that when I pan over a still image or even a video that part that goes over the action safe lines won't be seen. If I were to screen the project on a standard TV ( I guess want you would call 4:3) everything is cool. But if the project is shown on a widescreen display you see the part that is going over the action safe boundary as well. So what I would like to do is create a mask/cutout that lays on top of the video so you only see things moving inside of the cutout. Hope I made myself clear on what I'm trying to do.
Thanks.

Well after re-reading my post I forgot one important fact which I hope will make it clear. I am scaling the image so that is is oversized so the image is also out of the action safe area. Now if I were to keyframe the clip so that the image moves left to right and goes over the action safe boundary on the left you see it on a widescreen display monitor. I could go in and use the crop tool so it doesn't go outside the action safe area on the left but that is only good for that one frame when the clip continues it goes outside of the crop and is viewable on a widescreen. All this is a mute point when watching it on a regular 4:3 screen. For instance if you have watched a Ken Burns documentary on a widescreen the black borders (not sure if this is a letter box) constrain the picture to be inside of the black border even though the image is moving because of a pan or a zoom in effect. Hope that helps clarify things a bit. Again basically all I want to do in make a constant border around my image/video so no matter how I scale, pan or whatever on the clip you can only see what is inside of the border.

  • TV@ Plus, what video capture settings to use?

     I have a TV@ Plus and am unsure what video capture settings to use. I've had it for several months and solved my audio problems and need to know what Video Input Format, Capture Format (Profile), Capture - Size, Quality, Bit Rate and Audio Format settings to use. Should I use the same settings for all input sources or do I use different settings for CATV and S-video inputs? It seems to be OK with my current settings as far as capture and playback goes, I'm OK on the hardware part but with tech detatails I'm a bit  .
     I will be using it to capture from CATV, DVD and VCR input sources for later recording to DVD's. I use a GoDVD! CT-2 connected to the S-video input for recording Macrovision protected media to the HDD.
     My computer sound is monitor mounted stereo speakers.
     Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.

    I already had transferred and converted some of my old VHS and VCD movie collections into DVDs (using Composite Input).
    The higher the bit rate the better quality video output you will have - but bigger file size.
    To give you an example:
    A 2 hour video captured on MPEG set at 4000/bps will be translated it to 3.58GB. More than enough to be written on a 4.7 DVD.
    For audio bit rates, you can choose from 128/bps to 224/bps. As for me I set it to 224/bps. Again the bigger bit rates the better audio output. And don't forget to slide up the audio record level to 100%. That will give you a better and clearer recorded audio output.

  • What video codecs can be used with Premiere CS4?

    What video codecs can be used with Premiere CS4?  Or are there to many to list?  I'm looking for a solution to import a .AVI file created with a H.264 codec.

    PrPro can work with so very many, but certainly not all. Some, like DivX will work for Export, but I have never gotten good Import of that material - always something wrong somewhere.
    For H.264, there are three very popular versions: Apple, Lead and MainConcept. The Apple version installs with later versions of QT Player, the other two are available, and many users like them better. They solve some H.264 problems, mainly with Export.
    For a bit of background, you might find this ARTICLE useful.

  • What video effect did they use in this music video?

    What video effect did they use in T-Pain's - Best Love Music Video
    Here is the music video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wmD3M-BfVo
    You can tell there is a certain effect that they applied to it. It could be a camera tracker or a camera smoother. I just plainly don't know at this point. I would like to "try" and recreate it if I could with your help.
    Thanks in advance.

    That's simple parralax animation to give the illusion that the camera would be very close to the talent while keeping the background in frame. Nothing magic there, given that all the backgrounds are artificial and have been added in post, anyway.

  • What video setting should I use?

    I'm converting videos using Aieesoft, and am wondering what video setting is the best to use for playing on an ipad 4?  I don't want the files to be huge.  If I can I'd like to keep them under 1 gig each.

    First, decde how you are going to deliver this production to your client. Then tell us what that delivery medium will be. Then we'll have some advice for you.
    See the section in the FCP manual on using still images. You need to understand that in video there are only pixels, no dots per inch or lines per inch. Those terms are meaningless in video. You wil sand at a size in raw pixels that is only slightly larger than your delivery format.

  • What video capture setting to use???

    I'm using FCP 4.1 for some non-broadcast, DVD applications. I'm looking for BetaSP quality output but have no idea what setting will give me good image quality without slowing my Mac. Since I use a Kona LS card, there seem to be almost an endless amount of options. Particularly between 8 bit and 10 bit. I've read about the differences but there are just so many options I don't know where to begin. Are there any standard suggestions for a jumping off point? Thanks.

    Holey Moley, I've got one of those machines. Complete with the scsi card and the internal scsi raid. And a cinewave card. Anybody want a cinewave card?
    Try an 8bit- that's about what SP gives you, but if you've got a graphic- intensive show, you might be better served at 10-bit.

  • Looking for an Earthquake, or Explosion type of transition or Video Filter

    Hello Hello
    How ya doin guys?
    Does anyone know what Video Filter, or transition will closely appear as an explosion? Like iMovie's 'Earthquake Transition'
    I tried a few filters, and I also tried the 'Explode', and 'Implode transitions', but unfortunately nothing is as nicely done in terms of 'exploding', or 'violent movement' as the 'Earthquake Transition' in iMovie.
    Thanx

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    In FCE set in and out in timeline, to set the part to be FX'ed with explosion.
    Use File-->export to livetype command and select the place where you want to save this movie.
    This movie had to be imported in livetype, on the lowest track in timeline.
    Start a new project in LT (with project properties similar to those in FCE).
    Do Command-i to import your exported movie. Drag your movie in timeline to background portion of timeline. This procedure will allow to export your final FX movie without the movie in background.
    Select object tab in media browser, and select Detonate (there are many objects and livefonts that be used to create explosion- do some experiments). You'll get a nice explosion. Tweak this "object" (size, attribute, timing, etc) and click Apply to new track button.
    In the timeline of LT, place this object over your background.
    When everything is adjusted, do an export movie-be sure to uncheck "render background".
    Save this movie.
    Now in FCE, import this FX movie and put it over your clip in timeline. Voilà, a nice explosion.

  • What Video Settings to use in Premiere before adding to Presenter

    I am editing several videos in Adobe Premiere and will then add them to a presentation with Adobe Presenter.  What video settings do you suggest (frame size, codec, container, frame rate, etc.) for use with Presenter. 
    thanks!

    good call, turns out it's not exporting at 500x375 like I tell it to. Instead, it exports to 640x480. The .fla document size is 500x375... yet when I go to quicktime export settings, it says 550x400. And when it finishes export, it's 640x480. huh??
    well, I guess I can make my premiere project 640x480, not going to matter much when the final product is 320x240. I just can't figure out why it insists on exporting to 640x480

  • I am making a graduation video for my cousin using Final Cut Pro. I have photos layered over videos, and I was wanted to find out how you can add a border around the photos so they stand off of the video. Anyone know what I could do?

    I am making a graduation video for my cousin using Final Cut Pro. I have photos layered over videos, and I was wanted to find out how you can add a border around the photos so they stand off of the video. Anyone know what I could do?

    You would need an image editor to edit the images and add a border to the image first before importing them into Final Cut.
    Cheapest and very good image editor?
    PIxelmator.
    Located in the Mac App Store. $14.99 USD.
    Here is the Pixelmator website to give you an overview of the app.

  • I am attempting to convert 8mm video cassettes to dvd using a video cassette player, elgato video capture with rca/usb connections to the mac, editing in imovie and burning on idvd. The picture quality is awful. What can I do?????

    I am attempting to convert 8mm video cassettes to dvd using a video cassette player, elgato video capture with rca/usb connections to the mac then editing in imovie and burning dvd-r using idvd. The picture quality is awful. What can I do??????

    At what point is the video quality bad?  Is it bad on capture?  I would recommend using an s-video 1394 firewire converter instead.  They capture the video at a higher bit rate.  If you have a lot of 8mm tapes to capture, invest in a stand alone DVD recorder.  They capture and compress in one shot.  If you need to rip it back from the DVD into iMovie again, I would recommend using DVDxDV.

  • Wanna know what kind of effect that used on this video?

    wanna know what kind of effect that used in transformation in this video or can we  just crop the effect .

    That transformation is a result of careful planning, 3-D modeling, and layering. It is not just an effect. 3-D tracking, camera tracking, match moving, rotoscope, keying, and other effects can be used to create this kind of transformation. Without careful preproduction planning this kind of a shot/effect is nearly impossible.
    If you already knew that then what part of the transformation is giving you troubl?

  • Hi. Does anyone know what video editing software is compatible with my MacBook - version 10.6.3? I am looking to edit films and already have Final Cut Pro, but am looking for something a little more basic and easier to use. Thanks. Vicki

    Hi Cereskit
    Thanks again for the message. I've done the updates and have the App Store on my desktop. I went into it and searched for imovie but couldn't find the basic imovie, which I presume is what I'd need for editing?, rather than imovie 11 for £10.49, which is for making trailers, it seems. Also, were you saying that imovie would be free?

  • What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?

    What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?
    I writed to Panasonic Italy support about this question:
    "What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?"
    Panasonic writed me in a very poor manner and said me:
    "...riproduce formati: AVCHD (anche 3D), SD-Video, DivXHD, JPEG, MP3, AAC tramite USB e Slot SD/SDHC/SDXC card..."
    "...formato : AVCHD estensione file nella SD: .MTS..."
    I made a few videos edited with PremiereProCS5 and exported as H.264 Coding and .mp4 file extension, all side by side, with layout 1920x1080pixels that includes two stretched frames at 960x1080 pixels.
    This is the same image layout that uses the Panasonic 3D consumer camcorder "HDC-SDT750", that record AVCHD videos with file extension .MTS.
    I also tried to export another video as MPEG2 with .mpg file extension.
    But at the store the tests failed, and I cannot see anything!
    My questions are:
    1) What format can be used by PremiereProCS5 for exporting the Stereoscopic 3D videoclip and play them via USB port on Panasonic TVPlasma3D such "TX-P46VT20"?
    2) What codec should be used? H.264? H.264-bluray?
    3) What file extension should have the movie file? .mp4?
    Many Thanks!
    Horsepower0171.

    -I already read entirely those threads, but nothing about stereoscopic 3D AVCHD movies through USB port, on Panasonic TVPlasma3D.
    (Also, Sony said me that is not possible to play 3D videos on your 3DTV through USB port).
    I tried to made a H.264 videoclip, with .MP4 extension, at 960x1080p side-by-side layout, but nothing was displayed, and black screen.
    I think that just the AVCHD movies, with .MTS extension, that comes from Panasonic consumer camcorder "HDC-SDT750", can play the 3D videos via HDMI cable, not USB port.
    But not the exported videos from PremierePro via USB port.
    I seen this tutorial from David K Helmly:
    http://www.youtube.com/user/dhelmly#p/a/u/1/_YtF0c2bmkw
    Dave export the video from PremiereProCS5 as "MPEG2-bluray" format with "Match Source Attributes (HighQuality)" Preset, and build the Bluray Disc in EncoreCS5, with the footage as MPEG2 with .m2v file extension:
    1) Anyone tried to play correctly in 3D, those MPEG2-.m2v side-by-side files, in Panasonic3DTV, with BlurayDiscReader?
    2) Why MPEG2.m2v side-by-side?
    3) The official standard stereoscopic 3D format, is not the .MVC (MultiViewCoding) for Bluray3D Disc?
    I am confused!
    Help!
