Zooming out during a clip

Me again.
I've shot a video using an autocue and because of this i was unable to zoom out during filming. Using premiere pro how can I can give the effect I'm panning out of the shot to reveal what is on the subjects desk?
Thanks

Select the clip
Go into the effects tab and select motion
There you will be able to scale and move the clip around
But that will only work if there is more of the clip to reveal when you scale it down or move it. That's unlikely in most cases, so animating motion will only reveal black around the image when you downscale or move it. You'll probably need to re-shoot the footage and zoom out if possible.

Need to zoom out to see clips in organiser monitor

Hi
I'm working on a project with settings at PAL AVCHD HD1080i 25. When I put a clip on the timeline, it is much too big for the monitor panel. Is there a way to zoom out within the monitor panel so that the whole frame can be seen please?

Yes. Right-click and select Magnification> Fit

PrE 9, zoom out of a clip?

im making a video and i want to make the clip start zoomed in, and as it progresses, to zoom out. i know of the zoom out effect, but that remains the same for the entire clip (no motion). i have a transition on it already, so i can't use the zoom transition. are there any other methods to do this on PrE 9?

Because of the power of Keyframing (not only can you Keyframe the Fixed Effects>Motion>Position and Motion>Scale, but also many other Effects, that you would wish to add), every moment spent learning the ins & outs of Keyframing will pay dividends. Steve does one of the best jobs of explaining Keyframing, that I have seen.
Also, initially it will seem like a lot of work, but it gets easier, and easier, and the "power" of Keyframing can be "intoxicating!"
Good luck, and happy Keyframing,

Cutting clips-zoom out-.wav exports

Hi,
When I cut a cilp from the timeline in Soundtrack Pro, apart from selecting all clips in the timeline individually or by name, is there not a way to make all the clips move to the left to fill the gap left by the clip being cut (as in FCP - delete) or in Sadie?
Also, I can't zoom right out to see the whole sequence in the timeline. My project is an hour and a half long, but my timeline view is restricted fully zoomed out to what's in the blue box in the Global timeline view right? Is there any way of making this bigger so my project is just contained within the timeline?
Finally, is there any way of exporting a .wav file instead of .aiff? At the moment I have to convert it from quicktime as Compressor doesn't seem to do it either.
Many thanks,

Thanks for the reply...
1. cut a clip - sounds like you mean "ripple delete"
That's right - strange thing is it doesn't seem to work with me! If I hit delete, it just takes out the selected section, and doesn't move everything in the timeline up to fill the gap.
2. the zoom tool is a slider that is found at the
bottom of the screen, slightly left. Works the same
way as in FCP. You may have to slide it all the way
to the left, then back all the way to the right
My project's an hour long, and this doesn't do the trick unfortunately. It's still only showing a fraction of the project. The keyboard shortcut's (shift Z -fit sequence to window) is supposedly the same as in FCP but it doesn't show me the whole sequence in the timeline. There's no way is there of increasing the size of the blue rectangle in the Global Time View to show the whole of the sequence?
3. STP isnt designed to export to multiple formats (a
feature request for sure).
Compressor, and all other creative type apps, all
work off of Quicktime, its foundation technology for
the whole OS.
HTH
Oh well.. I'll have to do it the long way for now.

Ken Burns default is "Zoom In" so why does it randomly "Zoom Out?"

I first noticed that the default zoom in was inexplicably and randomly reversing when I applied KB in one go to a bunch of selected stills.
Thinking that applying it to multiple images at once may be the cause, I tested it on a series of single photos.
The results were similar.
Sometimes the first 3 or 4 would be OK and then random slides would start zooming out. Occasionally the zoom direction would reverse on alternate pictures.
Just in case there was something peculiar about the different clips, I duplicated one several times but still got the random zoom when I applied KB.
I use 2 ways of applying the KB effect to still images but they both give random zoom directions:-
The first method is to select KB using the Crop tool in the Viewer.
This image shows the correct default but the next 3 I selected were all reversed even though I did not touch the "Reverse" button at the top.
The other method is to select KB in the Inspector.
Could some of you try to replicate my random results by testing on at least 6 photos?
More importantly, can you give a reason or suggest a cure (other than telling me to manually adjust each image).

Stopping Zoom in and Zoom out of pictures

I can't seem to find where I turn off the Zoom in and Zoom out features in iMovie related to pictures.
Where or what I have to do to turn this feature off..
Thanks

Hi Douglas,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It does look like this is the default behavior for imported pictures in iMovie 10, and can't be disabled from the iMovie preferences. The best workaround is to select all of the pictures in your timeline and turn off the Ken Burns effect using the Adjust menu.
iMovie Help
http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov26d3f6a6c
Modify a crop, rotation, or Ken Burns effect
In the timeline, select the photos you want to modify or restore to their original state.
Click the Adjust button in the toolbar.
The adjustments bar appears above the clip in the viewer.
To show the cropping controls, click the Cropping button.
In the cropping controls, change Style from Ken Burns to Fit to display the pictures in their original size. From there, you can crop them individually as needed.
Best,
Jeremy

Help! ken burns/ old zoom in zoom out option

Hey any help is appreciated. I'm making a picture slideshow in imovie '09 and I'm not completely thrilled with having it fit to screen or the ken burns affect. Is there anyway to add a slight zoom in/ slight zoom out to the picture like there was in the old imovie? Please let me know any advice if you can i have to finish this movie by tomorrow! Thank you!

You don't say if you are editing standard definition DV-NTSC or HD, but I guess you are talking SD - both for your sequence setting and your TV set.
Some comments:
- any picture of any resolution will be converted to the sequence resolution (720x480 in DV-NTSC) when you edit the picture to the timeline. This means that quality will necessarily degrade; this cannot be avoided, but this is true also for iMovie. Motion bu itself should not further degrade quality.
- it's important how you export your movie for iDVD: use Export/QuickTime Movie (not Using QuickTime Conversion).
- as Ian suggests you may try de-interlace filter or the blur filter
- I suggest you to watch the movie on your TV set during editing: connect the TV to your Mac firewire port: use a D/A converter (bridge) converting firewire connection to analog connection; you may use also a camcorder with pass-through. This allows you to check the movie quality as it will appear when watching the DVD: most important for stills and color corrections.
Note that the still in the viewer, before editing to the timeline, has the quality of the original still before its conversion to the sequence settings; so this is not meaningful.

Workflow for marking clips and then exporting them out as individual clips with audio?

Hello,
I'm just starting to use Prelude. I recorded an interview for my daughter for a school project last week. The interview went well, but I want to mark as "sub-clips" all of the video interview's question/answer combos (e.g. "What is your name? My name is John Doe.") and then save them out to individual clips rather than have to manage the full size files (about 40GB in all from my Panasonic GH3, 50mbps, IPB MOV) with clip markers. I'll keep the originals as backups, but would really rather work with the individual clip files.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! I would think this would be a very simple and common function. Basically, just dividing up the original video into multiple, standalone video clips with the same bit-rate, encoding, etc., but with new headers/EOF markers. Just chopping the original files up into chunks with no changes or reencoding necessary. If I can do it the way I imagine it, it should be a very quick process, at least compared to transcoding the files.
Best regards,
Scott

Hi -
Meg The Dog's suggestion will work if you don't intend to bring in all of your media off the card. The Partial Ingest method will allow you to selectively create subclips during ingest and not transfer the full original clips.
However, you do state you plan to keep all your media - not just the parts you want to subclip. So here's my suggestion for the workflow:
1. Ingest all your media from your cameras (the entire clips - not the partial clip method)
2. Open each clip from the Prelude Project Panel and create your Subclip Markers using Prelude logging tools.
3. In the Project Panel you will find new entries will appear for each SUBCLIP Marker you add to your master clips.
4. You can organize you subclips into BINS as needed to keep track of the segments of your video
5. When you're ready to create your timeline of subclips you can either
   5a. EXPORT all the SUBCLIPS into their own files (select all subclips you want to export and use the FILE->EXPORT->MEDIA menu command)
   or
   5b. Drag-Drop your subclips into a ROUGHCUT in Prelude to order your story. Then use the SEND TO PREMIERE PRO feature to send the Rough Cut into Premiere pro where you can finish your edit. All the media will come along for the ride into Premiere Pro (including your Subclips). You can then add titles and any effects easily enough in Premiere Pro).
There are some other options here you can also try out which might be interesting. For example, you can add transitions and any additional audio tracks to your ROUGH CUT directly in Prelude and then EXPORT the Rough Cut as a final movie - and not need to move to Premiere Pro unless you have wider editing needs.
Hope this helps!
Regards,
Michael

Mesh line artifact movement upon zooming in and zooming out of composition

I'm having a problem with my puppet tool in my After Effects composition–I'm getting this strange mesh line artifact. The layers have been imported from an Illustrator file. The boy has six puppet pin points. Hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder, neck and head. The actual animation of the puppet looks great, however, the problem arises with the zooming in and zooming out and panning over. I'm zooming in and panning over to the boy with a camera layer and null object layer before the puppet animation and then zooming out and panning away from the boy when it is over, and it's as if the mesh outline is following my null object layer during the pan and zoom... The boy is not on a pre-comp, and I tried to put in pre-comp to see if it made a difference but it does not. I also tried expanding the mesh but it doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

I'm having a similar problem. I have an illustrator file that I have a position and rotation change (to have the hand fly in), then the puppet tool mesh to have the pointer finger move to dial the numbers on the phone. I have tried non-pre-comped and pre-comped. Both produce the same results. In the first picture you can see that the mesh doesn't change position/rotation with the pre-comp. They seem to stay where I originally placed them. And where the hand flies in and moves over the mesh, that artifact is generated. I have tried expanding the mesh and making the pre-comp layer 3d.
It's rather frustrating, and I haven't found anybody solving this problem out here on the interwebs.
***OK OK. The only way I figured out to fix this was to make the illustrated hand the exact size I need it in Illustrator. Then I just don't make the layer "continuously rasterized".

Zooming out with AffineTransform

I'm trying to create a generic container panel that can zoom and pan over arbitrary JComponents. Zooming in works fine. Zooming out is getting some odd side effects from the clip. Zooming out, then resizing the window doesn't show the whole image. The top and bottom are trimmed off, despite the large space available at the top and bottom of the window.
I've overridden paintChildren() to set the Graphics' transform. mutantGraphics.setClip(mutantClip) doesn't seem to matter; the clip only gets smaller.
How do I restore the clip to the larger size?
Thanks,
Dave

            mutantGraphics.setClip(mutantClip);
            System.out.println("mutantGraphics.getClip() "+mutantGraphics.getClip().getBounds());

            super.paintChildren(mutantGraphics);
    }

You'll need to modify the preferred size of your component as you zoom.
Typically, I would set the component's preferred size to fit the zoomed image (ie at 0.5 zoom the width and hieght would both be double the original size) and then stuff it into a JScrollPane.
At the moment you set the preferred size initially but never change it, so your image is being clipped by the bounds of the component - it can't render outside its bounds so the component needs to be at least as large as the view.

How do i zoom out of the video?

Everytime i import a video clip into Adobe Premiere Pro Cs6 it automatically zooms into the video. How can i zoom out of the video, this is really bugging me. Sorry i just started using this yesturday. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum.
What are the pixel x pixel dimensions of the Video Clips?
What are the pixel x pixel dimensions of the Frame Size in your Sequence's Settings?
Those do not match, where they should, unless you have a very good reason for them to be different. One can Scale UP the Video to match, but that is usually going to degrade the Video quality.
Good luck,

How to Zoom Out

I'm using iMovie 7.1.4 to create a video that will include a slide show of photos with transitions, titles, short video clips, and music. I simply want to take a picture and either zoom in from the full shot or zoom out to the full shot. This is so basic and yet I can't find how to do it with iMovie08. Ken Burns only seems to allow me to select a small section of the photo and pan to a another section. Please help. I'm so desparate that I'm considering borrowing a Windows laptop and downloading Photostory. If this is not possible with iMovie08, could you suggest another program? Ultimately, the whole thing will run about 20 minutes and I want to put it on a DVD for general viewing. Help!

Yes. iMovie will not add the black border so that you can fully zoom a portrait photo in Ken Burns. You can add the black border yourself in a tool like Photoshop. Or if you are familiar with Automator, there is an Automator Action called "Pad Images" which will do this.

New Premiere user, 3 issues : zooming out, changing keyboard shortcuts, removing gain

Hi there,
Former FCP user here transitioning to Premiere, first time on this forum.
I have 3 separate issues when using Premiere cc or 2014 :
1/ When I try to zoom out using my tablet, I press 'z' to select the zoom tool, then hold the 'alt' key and click multiple times. But only several (one or two at most) clicks are taken into account, and after one or two clicks, the software seems to forget the alt key and starts zooming in. I'm aware of the 'minus' key shortcut on the keyboard, but a lot of times it would be much faster for me to do it this way. Is there a way to fix this ?
2/ I want to switch the hotkey "return" from "rendering effects" to "rendering selection". But when I try to hit 'return' in the shortcut window (after selecting the right action and getting the prompt box), it assumes I'm selecting 'Ok' and leaves... Any idea how I should do ?
3/ This one should be easier but I can't seem to find it : how do I remove the gain control line from the clips on the timeline ? I keep changing the audio gain when all I want to do is grab a clip.
Thanks a bunch !

Yes, I tried scrapping my preferences, but to no avail. I should perhaps have specified that my program runs in International English, but the keyboard is French. However, this is the first time using PS that this problem has arisen.

I no longer have zoom out in Safari (greyed out)

Since update to Safari 5.1 and Lion I no longer have zoom out. (greyed out)
Just checking to see if anyone else has the same problem.

"Perhaps you should do a little research on the Versions feature. If you do, note the Duplicate command"
Agreed theoretically. But in practise, Apple should review itself:
1. why the Help has been so useless! (There is certainly a "Save as", only after you click on the Duplicate...)
2. why there is no Change List to announce ahead or during beta about the changes and wipe outs (such as dumping the Reminders from Mail!)
Can Apple give more respects to current application users?

How do you zoom out from a fixed point?

Okay, I'm not sure if this is possible, but...
My first video clip in a scene is pretty boring, since there's no action, just a guy typing at his keyboard. To add in some motion, I'd like to have it start out so that all you can see are his eyes, but then it zooms out to show the whole scene.
So what I'd want to do is somehow set his eyes as a fixed point and then zoom out from there. However, I have no idea how to go about doing this, since I don't even know how to zoom out. I know how to zoom in, but not out.
Could someone please help me?
