"Zooming" in on a portion of a clip?

I know it would end up getting kind of pixelated but is this possible in FCP Pro X?
Like if something was going on in the background of the clip and I want to focus just on that and enlarge it so that it is taking up the whole screen?

I know you can do this with the transform tool but the image I am working with is VERY big and VERY long so it is kind of a burden to do it like this.
It would be nice to be able to do it like the Ken Burns effect except not gradual.
I want it to instaltly cut to a magnified area

  • Has anyone "zoomed in" on a portion of a waveform graph?

    Has anyone ever used two cursors to zoom in on a portion of a waveform graph?
    I've seen that newer Oscilloscopes offer features to do this both horizontally and vertically. 
    See the attached jpg for an example of what I'm trying to do.  It is from Google Finance.  Notice the area circled in red.  The two cursors define the portion of the waveform to be displayed on the main graph.  There is also a scrollbar beneath them which allows the user to quickly move the zoomed-in area across the graph- I would love to have that functionality on the LabVIEW graphs. 
    My first thought is that I can do this using mostly property nodes.  Not sure on vertical zooming scrolling the horizontal zoom- I'm thinking maybe this would best be done using scrollbars which are not part of the graph itself. 
    Any ideas or comments?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Cursor position is available in Labview via a property node. You can also set about every chart property with property nodes. I have used this many times. Here is a trick. If you have two cursors, Make separate arrays of the x and y  positions. Then  use the "Array max&min" to sort them. This will make your program independent of the cursor sequence.
    Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

  • Zoom into a specific point on a clip

    How do I zoom to a specific point on a clip or picture?
    Whenever I try to use this feature it just goes to the centre of the clip.
    Thank-you.

    Make sure Image + Wireframe is selected in the Canvas:
    Select the clip you want to zoom in on and reposition on the timeline by clicking on it. Once it is selected on the timeline, the turquoise box and cross hairs should appear in the canvas.
    If you click and drag on one of the boxes on the corner, you can resize your image:
    And if you click and drag on the image itself, you can change the clips position:
    You may need to change the canvas display scale to see the handles after you zoom in:

  • How select a range or portion of a clip when importing?

    Upgraded from FC Studio 5.1 to FCP10.1 when importing media (mp4 or AVCHD) from the hard drive how do I select a range or portion of a clip in the media import window if I do not want to import the entire clip into FCP.  At this point I can select the entire clip indicated by the yellow outline around it however there does not appear to be any way to click drag to resize the yellow outline to select just a portion of the clip.
    Thanks for any help.

    So if I have a 500mb .mp4 clip I have to import the entire clip? No possible way to select a range?  However FC alows native folder AVCHD clip portions to be imported, very interesting.
    If I connect my Canon xa20 via USB to my iMac would FC then alow me to select clip portions (AVCHD or .mp4) to import?

  • How do I keep only the cropped portion of a clip and trash the rest?

    Before getting my new Macbook, I was using iMovie3. When I would crop a file, only the highlighted portion was kept and the rest of the clip was sent to the trash. With iMovie HD, it is my understanding when you crop a clip, the information outside the cropped area is stored somewhere - how do I send this unneeded portion of the clip to the trash? I have used up almost all the memory in my new computer and don't know how to free up space without deleting the entire clip.

    Hi m
    You can't: As standard. iMovie is a "*non destructive editor*" - means it stores
    the Capture/Imported material in one place and Your cutting, editing etc. is just
    a text document refering onto how this material is to be viewed.
    Even if You only usesed one frame from an hour long import - all of it will be
    saved for futhure changes. (1 hour = about 13Gb of space)
    You can: Send movie back to Camera and a new miniDV tape. Then start a new
    project from this - and delete Your old project.
    This will free up space - but You lose the ability to adjust the prior editings,
    texts and so on.
    Alt is to save as full quality QT.mov and start a new project from this. Still
    what's done is done - but You jump the Camera step. (I have the feeling of that
    I get a quality loss this way - but several in this forum disagrees)
    Advice:
    1. Try to Capture/Import about what You need and not just dump in several hours of
    material for a few minutes movie.
    2. I use a hugh external FireWire hard disk (Mac OS Extended formatted) to store
    my movie projects and a minimum of 25Gb free space on my internal (start-up) one.

  • How do you zoom in on a portion of the screen in Captivate 8?

    As the title says, I can no longer figure out how to zoom in on a portion of the screen using Captivate 8. Adobe, of course, had to change it from version 7. How does one go about doing it?

    Zoom Area is under the big Objects button.

  • IMovie 10 - how to delete rejected portions of a clip

    I have read all the discussions and connot figure this out.  I can view rejected clips, but have no way to delete them or put them in Trash.  If I select Move to Trash it trashes the whole clip.  Thanks for any help.

    Hi
    I wanted to delete the "rejected" portions of a clip. I made iMovie show only teh rejected clips and deleted them all. I realized now that iMovie deleted the whole clip that included portions that were marked as favorites, unmarked, not just the rejected. Luckily I do have the original files elsewhere but I threw away a couple of hours of work.
    If i have a long clip and I want to get rid of "bad" / "useless" sections of what is marked rejected there should be an easy way in iMovie. Is tehre?
    if I split a clip does the original file gets split or not? Is tehre a quick way to do that without a too much cumbersome workaround?
    thanks

  • Selecting What Portion of a Clip Plays in Menu

    Old iDVD had this feature - I can't find it in '08 - I drop a clip into the background and it shows the very beginning - how can I assign it to play a more relevant portion of the clip?

    This is from iDVD Help:
    _Setting where a background movie begins and ends_
    When you use your own video as a menu’s background, you can use the entire video (up to 15 minutes), or part of it. To use part of it, you specify where you want it to begin and end in the Menu Info window.
    To specify the portion of video you want to show:
    Make sure the menu that uses the background video you want to adjust is showing in the iDVD window.
    With your pointer over the menu (and with no buttons or text objects selected), press Command-I to open the Menu Info window.
    Click the small triangle above the Loop Duration slider. (You see the triangle only when custom video is in the background well.)
    The slider control becomes the Background Movie Start/End control, and the slider is split in half.
    Move the left half of the slider, which plays the movie in the iDVD window, until you see the frame where you want the background video to start.
    Move the right half of the slider until you see the frame where you want the background video to end.
    Click the triangle again to return to the Loop Duration slider.
    I hope this helps.

  • Why are my transitions displaying the wrong portion of the clip?

    Hello,
    I am working on a short film, and am having trouble with several of my transitions. After editing the sequence in Premiere, I performed the color grading via direct link to SpeedGrade. The Lumetri effects from Speedgrade are applied to an adjustment layer on a separate track above the original video clips. If I have problems with the transitions (all cross dissolves) in my timeline. When any of them start, they all transition to a later point in the second clip. As soon as the transition ends, it cuts to the proper point in the second clip. I hope that makes sense. If I disable the adjustment layer, everything looks fine (other than the grades are not visible, obviously). Removing the transition from the adjustment layer track eliminates the problem, but then there is an obvious cut from the previous grade to the next.
    I did not notice the problem when I edited the sequence in Premiere, it was in Speedgrade that I first noticed it, and it shows up back in Premiere now.
    I have no idea what could be causing this problem. I have never worked with adjustment layers before, and don't know much about them. Is there something I don't know that I should?
    Cameron
    Note: I am using the CC 14 versions of both programs.

    I tried that: I shortened the end of the outgoing clip and lengthened the beginning of the incoming clip, so that a centered cross dissolve occupies the same space:
    The problem still persists. For this particular transition, the transition shows a frozen frame from the incoming clip, instead of a portion of the video like mentioned above.
    I have also tried deleting the render files for the transition; no luck. Could it be some sort of bug or glitch in the program?

  • Zoom, drag and drop in a movie clip

    if zoom a movie clip...i want drag and drop the mc...and also don't go the mc outside the screen..pls help me...:(

    To drag within a limited area you use the startDrag() method, defining a rectangle to limit how far the object can be moved in any direction.  The startDrag is normally executed when a MOUSE_DOWN event occurs for the object that is to be dragged.  A MOUSE_UP event is what is used to trigger a call to the stopDRag() method, whereby the listener for that is usually assigned to the stage.
    Search Google for a tutorial using terms like "AS3 drag drop tutorial" if you need detailed coding help to get started.

  • How to select unused portions of my clips

    I shot a song/dance show during two different performances and have edited the best parts of both together.  Now I'm wondering if it's possible to select only the unused portions of each performance — not to delete, as others have posted about — but to actually use, for outtakes, or to create a complete video that won't be seen on the DVD I create.
    Is this possible?

    When you drag clips or parts of clips from an Event to a Project, an orange coloured line is placed along the base of the clip in the Event for the parts selected. So, all the portions of clips (or full clips) that don't have the orange line will be the pieces that you've not used in the Project. So, the unused bits are easily recognizable.
    You can now drag the unused portions to a new Project and then burn a separate DVD using iDVD. Or simply drag interesting segments from the Event to your original Project and use these at the end as out-takes. (NOTE: See CORRECTION below).
    Note that the unused segments may be easier to identify and select if you drag the Event thumbnail slider to the far left position, so that each thumbnail represents half a second of video. The slider is positioned at the base of the Events Library on the far right. There is a similarly positioned slider for Projects.
    Note also that when you trim or extend clips in the Project timeline, the orange line on the Event clip is shortened or lengthened accordingly, to match your adjusted selection. So, the unmarked segments in the Event are still a valid representation of your unused media.
    John
    CORRECTION:
    I just remembered that when opening a new project, you will not see the orange lines, as they only appear when the original project is open. To overcome this, duplicate the original project (File>Duplicate Project when in Project Library view) then add the unused media to the end of that project. Now delete all the clips or part clips used in the original project. This will leave you with just the earlier "unused" media in the duplicate project. Sorry about any confusion!

  • What is best way of separating audio portion of video clip to use later

    I would like to save, and use in other projects a portion of the audio of a clip.  What is the best way of getting the audo portion out of the clip it is in and into a some sort of self-contained clip of its own?

    Just to build  on Tom's answer...
    Given you only want a portion  of a specific clip...
    I'd say
    Select the portion you want using the range tool (R)
    Share | Master File | Audio Only (as Tom has said)
    But even then, if you haven't disabled the other audio in the timeline (or don't want to) you'll get all of it... (Music/Camera/Effects etc)
         What I do, is export Roles as separate files (Using the "Roles As" option) at the bottom of the share dialog. Either "Dialogue" or "Music" would probably suit you, I'm guessing.

  • Audio portion of Video clips offset

    I have a large FCE project with a mixture of video clips and still photos. Most of the processing that I do consists of working with the still photos, such as Ken Burns effect, changing the length of the still photos to conform to voice-over files and so on.
    After working with a particular sequence for awhile, about 20 minutes into a 30 minute sequence, I notice that all of the video clips have the audio portion out of sync by exactly 2 seconds.
    What can cause this problem, how can I fix it, and what should I do to prevent this from happening again?

    Hi David, thanks for the response.
    Actually, it wasn’t a case of a few un-linked clips being moved inadvertently. All 20 video clips at the end of the sequence were exactly 2 seconds out of sync. None of the clips prior to those were out of sync. I have no idea how that could have happened, especially only to those beyond the point in the timeline where I was working.
    I am normally aware of the 2 menu items: Modify/Link (Command + L) and Edit/Linked Selection (Shift + L). I sometimes use the first to unlink a single clip in order to delete the audio portion. The second menu item, which unlinks all of the clips has the potential to be dangerous and I almost never use it purposely. However, in this case, I used it to fix the problem (I think). What I did was do Shift + L to unlink everything. I then changed the scale of the timeline to so that I could see all of the unlinked audio clips so I could select them together, then moved them exactly 2 seconds to the right so that they now lined up with the video. I then did another Shift + L to relink everything and finished with a Save.
    The first time I tried to do as explained above, it didn’t work. The clips were lined up but FCE was still indicating 2 seconds out of sync. After that, I posted my question. While waiting for a response, I tried it again. I have no idea why it worked the second time.

  • Zooming in on part of a video clip

    I'm new to iMovie and don't even know if what I want to do is possible, but i've done a few searches and come up empty, so here goes:
    I'm working with a video clip of my dog playing that is about 45 seconds long. In one part of the clip she runs away from the camera, and does a funny jump. I want to zoom in on her when she jump, which is lasts 5 seconds (not the jump itself, just the lead up and landing :P).
    I know that I would lose some resolution in doing this, and I'm OK with that. it's not too much zoom, maybe 25% of the original frame would be lost. Is this possible in iMovie '11?
    Thanks,
    psymn

    Split the clip on the section you want to zoom in on. Click on the gear popup on the clip and select crop & rotation. Drag the edges to the section you want to zoom into. Click Done.

  • How can I raise the audio level of just a PORTION of a clip (not the whole thing)?

    Would like to raise the level of one part of my project but NOT the other. This only seems to allow me to raise the entire project, but not individual sections. Earlier versions of iMovie had the ability to crossfade several audio tracks, etc., but this 'new and improved' one doesn't. Am I missing something?
    Have tried separating the audio, but that doesn't help.
    Thanks,
    Cameron

    Cameron,
    Have a look at this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/9.0/en/mov3b0fb5f2.html
    You can adjust only a portion of the audio of a clip without further splitting it.
