Why are Subclips Changing Video Size?

I am having a bit of difficulty when i create a subclip the width of my clips changes and shrinks, creating two black bars on the sides. My preview looks okay but after the clip is rendered the bars appear
Any clue as to why this might be happening?
I have fcp 4.0 on a macbook 10.6.2.
Thanks a lot for all the help
Erik

What Al said, plus it sounds as if you're making the subclips incorrectly. It sounds as if you're making them in the timeline; you need to make them in the viewer

In Pages 5, why are page thumbnails different sizes?

So I'm using 5. And I must say I think it's brilliantly done after a long period of ******** about it. I guess I'm not asking of it anything it doesn't provide and what it does it does very well - though I'm puzzled by the behavior of selecting text via the keyboard.
Anyhow, that's not my question. I'm working with a long text document. I notice that as I work the page thumbnails become different sizes. It's subtle but it's clearly intentional. I reckon it's trying to tell me something but I don't know what. Haven't been able to find any info in the manual and was wondering if any of you clever people here might know. Thanks.

This is what I meant about how rude you are though. Your answer DOESN'T EXPLAIN ANY OF THE BEHAVIOUR myself or the other person were reporting. The only assumption that I can make is that you posted here for the sole purpose of implying that we are both mistaken or stupid.
How is this helpful at all?
How do you have 32,485 points when you are obviously more concerned with insulting people than helping them out? It puts the lie to the whole idea of "Apple Support Communities."
Also, I specifically informed you that your comments were insulting and unhelpful and politely requested you not post on this thread anymore or at least until you had some kind of actual information, yet here you are. Posting again, with no content other than the implied insult.
I'm not stupid. I know what a section break is, I know what a page break is. I'm a writer who has used innumerable word processing programs over the years and have been an IT worker for 10 years now.
I have a Pages document. It has no (or only one depending on your point of view), section(s). It has page breaks only. The pagination is set to start at "1" on the first page and proceed normally to the end of the document (300 or so pages). I am using Pages 5.5.2 on a brand new iMac. I have NONE of the previous or older versions/types of Pages on my computer.
The pages thumbnails on the side, do actually CHANGE SIZE randomly as I am editing the document. These differing sizes are NOT CORRELATED WITH THE BEGINNING OR ENDING OF SECTIONS. These size changes are also NOT CORRELATED WITH THE PAGE BREAKS (in case you were about to argue the similarity of page breaks and section breaks). As I work through the document and scroll up and down editing here or there, the size of the thumbnails RANDOMLY CHANGE SIZE. Sometimes this is correlated with me working on a section, sometimes I can work on a section and no change happens at all. The thumbnails that change size often change back again when I scroll back to them later on.
So please ... Try to act like a decent human being and either help out, or go away. STOP POSTING THAT WE ARE WRONG, when you DON'T in fact know we are wrong. STOP INSULTING ME by assuming I am stupid.
Why are you even here if you don't want to actually HELP anyone?
To anyone else reading this: I am having a real bad time with this fellow who is just the most insulting person I have met for a while, however many of my posts about him are being deleted. If anyone knows (including the mods of this forum) of the proper way to REPORT or get rid of a troll/abuser like him on Apple Support Communities or a place to report his behaviour, please let me know.

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?
http://www.video2brain.com/en/lessons/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.

Changing video size in TOC

Is it possible to make the video pane in the TOC larger? I tried increasing the width of the TOC itself, but that didn't work.

Hello
kcabe,
When you inser the Slide video, you get two options to place that video
1- You can place it in the middle of the screen/windows by default
2- You can check TOC and have TOC in your project and let the video play at the top of TOC that is in the left top corner
Here are the screnshots
Step1 > How to choose video above TOC
STEp 2>
This is how the video gonna look like (NOTE You cannot change the size of this particular video placed above TOC)
hope it helps!!!
Thank you

DynamicStreamingResource use will keep changing video size

We are using OSMF videoplayer and DynamicStreamingResource. Each time the videobitrate change will trigger video size change. I need the video to stay fit on the whole screen. I tried adding size change to the stage but I am must be doing something wrong because I can't see the function for the resize event being called at all.
The video source is RMTP and streaming 5 different videobitrates.
Is there an example on how to handle the video size properly when the video bitrate changes using DynamicStreamingResource?
Thanks!
sey

Maybe try resetting the media element's layout metadata whenever the dynamic stream changes (event listener)?

Making PDFs Fillable - Why are they 3xs the size of the Original w/Acrobat Pro 9

What I'm Doing:
I have been creating documents out of InDesign that I export to PDF Format and then go into Acrobat 9.0 Pro to make fillable. In Acrobat 9.0, I'll begin with a PDF that is around 1M. Normally, once the fields are added it may increase to file size of about 1.3M.
What Has Changed:
Yesterday, I replaced on of my fillable PDF documents that was previously more pages with more fillable fields with an updated PDF (using replace pages and deleting the extra pages). The PDF I replaced the old document with went from 1.3M to 4.3M. Even when I went to Advanced and Optimized the PDF to remove fields etc. the file remained over 4M.
What Doesn't Make Sense:
A colleague who has an older version of Acrobat Pro, opened my fillable file and just resaved it and it went back down to 1.5M. He did nothing to it but open it, save it and close it in his version.
Help!
Does anyone know what is making my fillable PDF so bloated? Is there somewhere besides PDF Optimize that I should using to make the file size smaller?

I think he did us Save As. I tried it, just to see and it didn't change the size for me. I called Adobe for help and they suggested I use "Document, Reduce File Size" which did reduce it from 4.02M to 4.01M.
Reduce File Size:
I tried Reduce File Size again and chose to reduce to Acrobat 4.0 and later, but received an error that there was an open embedded OpenType font.
Unembedding:
So, I unembedded all of the fonts, which brought it down to 3.85M.
Reduce File Size:
Then I ran Reduce File Size again and it went to 3.84M.
Save As:
Then I did a "Save As" and it went to 3.70M.
Result:
Still not as dramatic as my colleague's save from 4M to 1.5M.

Why are my exports different sizes?

When I export a photo from aperture, I am getting a different file size than what it says in aperture. This happens with edited images or non-edited. I've tried changing the export presents and they all give me different file sizes, which makes sense. But I can't seem to export a photo and get it to come out the exact same size as what it says in aperture. If I set the quality to 12 in export presets, it ends up being much larger than what it is in aperture, if it's set to 11 or lower the photo ends up being smaller than aperture's size. What am I doing wrong?

That's how JPG works. The compression is redone every time the file is saved. When you export, you create a new file. If you create a JPG, it will be created to the compressing setting you use, but that compression setting is specific to the program using it, and will not result in a file of the same size saved by a different program.
The only way to get the exact same file is to export the file you imported -- in Aperture, this is done as "File➞Export➞Original".
If you are aiming for the highest quality JPG that fits within a upper limit of storage required (e.g. 5 MB), you can make small changes using "Size to" set to "Percent of Original" and then trying, for example, 90%. For almost all uses a quality of 11 is more than sufficient. For printing (where max IQ is primary, and file size shouldn't matter) use TIFF 16-bit.

Why are my exported videos in Premiere Pro pixilated and blurry?

I'm recording game footage with Dxtory (settings below), and once I export the video and uploaded it to YouTube, it's pixilated and blurry.
In the link there are 2 images, the one on the left is a screenshot of a pixilated part of the video, and the one on the right is a non-pixilated portion within the same video.
Link: http://imgur.com/a/KV9D8#0
Project and Render Settings:
http://imgur.com/jXIwKDM
Dxtory Settings:
http://imgur.com/ITqSGvd
I used Imgur because Adobe's image uploader reduces the size to 450x605
I have a GTX 780, but I'm not using the 'CUDA' setting under project settings, so I'd assume the Graphics Card doesn't matter.
Thanks for the responses, and I'd be happy to answer any questions.

I recorded and uploaded in 29.97 fps, but for sake of argument, I've rerecorded a 30 second clip in 30 fps recorded, and uploaded in 30 fps.
Here's the link: http://youtu.be/jyZKvCTrOsU
The render settings were mostly matched by source, with the following:
1920x1080 resolution
30 fps
field order: progressive
aspect: Square Pixels (1.0)
TV Standard: NTSC
Profile: Main
Level: 4.1
I then used VBR, 1 pass with 30 Mbps for target and maximum bitrate.
Sadly, the issue persists. I am completly lost as to what this issue is, and am unsure why I'm getting the issue, but other YouTubers don't (when uploading game footage).

Why are my HD videos all importing with different resolutions?

Hi, I tried looking through like 10 pages of discussions on here and didn't see anybody else having this problem.
I have a Canon Vixia HF200, I keep the settings on MXP (highest quality 1920 x 1080). Every time I log and transfer my videos they import at different resolutions (everything from the same day will be the same), some of them come in as 1440 x 1080, 720 x 480, etc, when they should all be 1920 x 1080.
So, since some of them ended up being a completely different aspect ratio, I went into Motion>Distort and changed them all to 1920 x 1080, and I thought it was fine, but now I'm noticing that some of the videos look really out of focus (it seems like they get more out of focus every time I open it), so I'm thinking I probably shouldn't have stretched them....
I checked the original videos in the browser and they all say 1920 x 1080 now, when I watch them in the viewer, they actually look like good HD videos, but in the canvas they're out of focus...
I'm also working with multiple sequences, and when I copy videos from one sequence to another, it changes the resolution/aspect ratio/scale again, and becomes more blurry when I try to fix it.
So basically, I have a huge mess. I'm working on editing a documentary that I'm making and now most of the video looks bad and I'm not sure how to change it back. I even tried starting a new project and importing the original videos, but they don't seem to have the original quality.
Anybody know how I can either fix this or somehow replace the clips in the sequence with the originals in the browser to at least get some quality back?
Also, a lot of the time when I render, I come back to the computer and it says something like "Error: Illegal (something) render failed" and completely loses the rendering that it spent a long time doing.
I appreciate any help.
Lisa

Hi Lisa,
Your 1920x1080 clips most likely import at their normal frame size, and then you placed them in the wrong sequence. Make sure your +File > Easy Setup+ is set to *Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i60* before you create a new sequence.

Why are Java and Video Player updates appearing in Safari

Today these fake Java and Video Player update pop ups started appearing in Safari 6.2.4, in OS 10.8.5. The Java updates say I need version 13 which doesn't exist and the video player pop ups are gray with a red square that resemble the Adobe colors. These are popping up on almost every page I load in Safari.
I've looked in the Launch Daemons folder and that other Launch folder that keeps being recommended in the post that says I don't need to download anything and there is nothing out of the ordinary there. How do I stop these pop ups?
Tracy

The update alerts are indeed fake, and are intended to dupe you into installing malware or disclosing private information so that your identity can be stolen.
You might get the alerts when visiting a website that has been hacked. Don't visit the site again. If applicable, notify the site administrator of the problem, but don't send email to an unknown party.
If you get the alerts when visiting more than one well-known website, such as Google, YouTube, or Facebook, then they may be the result of an attack on your router that has caused you to get false results from looking up the addresses of Internet servers. Requests sent to those sites are redirected to a server controlled by the attacker. It's possible, but less likely, that the DNS server used by your ISP has been attacked.
Back up all data.
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
          8.8.8.8
          8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
In Safari, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. If the fake update alerts stop, see below. Otherwise, ask for instructions.
The router's documentation should tell you how to reset it to the factory default state. Usually there's a pinhole switch somewhere in the back. It may be labeled "RESET." Insert the end of a straightened paper clip or a similar tool and press the button inside for perhaps 15 seconds, or as long as the instructions specify.
After resetting the router, quit the web browser and relaunch it while holding down the shift key. From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Do the equivalent if you use another browser. Open the Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.
Then go through the router's initial setup procedure. I can't be specific, because it's different for every model. The key points are these:
1. Don't allow the router to be administered from the WAN (Internet) port, if it has that option. Most do.
2. Set a strong password to protect the router's settings: at least ten random upper- and lower-case letters and digits. Don't use the default password or any other that could be guessed. Save the password in your keychain. Any password that you can remember is weak.
3. If the router is wireless, or if you have a wireless access point on the network, use "WPA 2 Personal" security and set a different strong password to protect the network. If the router or access point doesn't support WPA 2, it's obsolete and must be replaced.
During the time the router was compromised, you were redirected to bogus websites. If you ever connected to a secure site and got a warning from your browser that the identity of the server could not be verified, and you dismissed that warning in order to log in, assume that your credentials for the site have been stolen and that the attacker has control of the account. This warning also applies to all websites on which you saw the fake update alerts.
Check the router manufacturer's website for a firmware update.
If you downloaded and installed what you thought was a software update, ask for instructions.

Why are there changes in the histogram with a convert to profile?

When you convert an image to a different profile the color numbers change, in order for the colors to represented the same (as closely as possible given the gamut differences) in the new color space. The histogram also changes, quite noticeably. Why? Is it representing the raw numbers and not their interpretation in the new space? And if so -- why is that? Is it of some use?
Thanks!

I understand that for an export operation, but still puzzled why the histograms are almost identical in LR for images that had been brought into PS from the same RAW file and converted to different spaces (with slight differences undoubtedly due to the different gamuts). In that case, LR must be "honoring" the different color spaces, with the same appearance and histograms... But when I soft-proof the same RAW file I get very different histograms -- the sRGB more stretched out than the ProPhoto one. Those soft-proof histograms are "the same" (realizing they are all quick calculations) as when I do the corresponding convert to profile in PS.
Maybe I'm not getting my head around "the histogram of the proof target." That would be the more "dramatic" (changed) histogram I'm seeing in LR's soft proof and PS's convert to profile. But is there a reason to show it that way? Doesn't a histogram need to be interpreted in a color space to be meaningful?
If I go ahead with something like a Save for Web or Export from LR in that target color space, I'll then see the histogram return to more or less what it was before (given that rendering intent has done its thing).
Is it that the more dramatic histogram is simply representing the image in the wrong color space?? I can see that as a pragmatic decision.

SEQUENCE SETTINGS CS6 ( CAN'T CHANGE VIDEO SIZE OR frame size )

Wow
I am a big fan of Adobe, but this i don't understand. Why can't you cahnge the sequence settiings in CS6. The sequence settings such as video frame size, and frame rate ae graded out. This makes it very hard when dealing with proxies. I am guessing they took this feature out because of the warp stabilizer. They should give you the option to be able to choose between warp stabilizer and sequence settings. If anyone knows how to fix this, Please help!

PP has long fixed the Sequence settings once they're created. The standard method of dealing with this is to create a new sequence and simply Copy/Paste all the clips from old to new.

Why are my Flash Videos now not playing for customers outside my Domain?

Hi folks. Please help me out here. I'm using Adobe Connect v.
6 Presenter to develope technology enabled learning. I've published
several Flash Video files to my TEL server, which hosts Connect
v.6. They were able to viewed by students outside my USGS domain
and since about the middle of March, the videos will not start for
them. What the heck? If anyone can help me, I'd be much obliged as
I am do to start beta testing on a Presenter TEL course on May the
8th! Yikes!!
Also, my server is in an Active Directory structure where
Windows Downloads and patches are automatically loaded at a certain
time in the early morning. Not sure if a security patch is doing
this or not, but I would gratefully appreciate any assistance.
Thank you!!

wolfeyes...
Not sure if this is the case...but, by chance, did you change
the videos to a different version of flash? Say converted to flash
8 versus flash mx. I know that in prior versions of connect, you
had to have MX as Flash 8 video wouldn't play...If they're the very
same video files that suddenly aren't playing...then I have no
answer...
Peace.

IMovie changes video size when importing its own exported projects

How can I control aspect ratio on imports - or simply get iMovie to import .mov files at their current and correct aspect ratio and size, as settings indicate? iMovie is messing with them.
I'm re-importing a lot of finished, exported iMovie files because a hard drive crash resulted in the loss of the original projects. As I'm doing this, I notice that these same Quicktime .mov files created by iMovie get squashed and stretched when imported as new events. Despite the fact that I'm using the setting "Full - Original Size."
When I import using the setting "Large - 960 x 540" the aspect ratio is correct, but the frames are reduced in size.
When I import the same videos by first putting them in iPhoto, and then accessing them through "iPhoto Videos" they are perfectly copied, with correct aspect ratio. But I don't want to have to keep taking this extra step.
Thank you!

stage6 files use DivX for encoding.. a HighQuality produced iMovie project could look as good as the stuff there.. allthough, many 'videos' I've seen there are NOT done with a 200$-cheapo-consumer cam.. you can teach Quicktime, and therefore iM to export with that codec... install divx-plug-ins..
to edit natively non-dv-streams, only alternatives are FCpro (=$$$$) or QTpro (=less convenient).. plus a few 'exotic' apps, as the free Mpeg Streamclip, which allows some 'raw' editing of mpegs etc. ...-
but..
if your input is from camcorders, the 'raw' footage is interlaced and low-res, compared to what you see normally on a computer's screen..
if your input is e.g. computer generated (CGI), use for export Apple Intermediate Codec, which is the HiDef codec of iMHD6 .. and probably, use a setting of a higher res, as 1080..
if your input is screengrabs, they don't match the TV-resolutions, iM offers, nor do they match the framerates...
so, what source, what delivery...?

Why does Mail change the size of attachments

I have been trying to send som JPEG files to a client. These files are no more than 450 kb. They were made in Adobe Illustrator CS5. The file sizes on my Mac are below 450 kb, yet when I attach them to an e-mail the size plummets to 31.3 kb, making them totally unusable for my client. I do not see any setting in Mail that would affect the file size of an attachment. I've attached files before with no problem. I do not know if this is because it's a JPEG. Unfortunately JPEG is the file format that they need. So to get arounfd this I've uploaded them to my server... but it would be so much easier to just be able to attach them to an e-mail.
Does anyone have a reason why this is happening?
Thanks in advance!
graphicedge

Steve626 is onto it. Follw his directions.
"If so, when you attach the picture file to the email message, look in the lower right of the mail message window and there is a pop up window that lets you specify the size of the pciture file attachment. "
Load the image into the message then look for the "Image Size" Bottom right hand corner.
Works for me on my Mail Version 4.6 (1085).
