    Hello there

    Sorry to keep posting so many times but i have another question.

    I’m building a comp with lots of mobile phone clips. Some are 620 x 480 and some are 320 x 240. Is there an easy way to select them all and resize on the comp to make them all say 320 x 240 for example. Rather than doing each one.

    Many thanks and sorry again

    Jamie

    Resize the first one.

    Copy the Scale and Position from that one.

    Select all the others to be resized.

    Paste.

    Thats good advice, but they are all completely different sizes, 3 are one size, 5 are a different res, 4 are another then there’s about 5 that are all completely random sizes.

    Is there anyway to do that easily.

    Cheers

    It doens’t matter which resolution the other movie clips have, because you have to copy the Resize-Effect and just past the attributes of this effect to the other movies. So at the end all clips will have the width and height attributes (width: 320 and height: 240) of the first clip.

    Got it?

    I’d make a 320×240 comp, drag all clips into it, select them all, then size to fit (ctrl-alt-F or cmd-opt-F). Then you can resize the comp back to where you want it (ctrl-K or cmd-K).

    An other and still simple soulution would be the 3D Assistans Plugin by Digital Anarchy. In this plugin you have the matrix creator where you can bild up a grid of movies and you can specify the width and height of every cell in the grid (so of every movie) by just defining it once. The plugin does the rest.

    Go to digitalanarchy.com and download the demo which is fully functional for 5 days after installation and make your clip. There is also a tutorial showing exactly what you need.
