  • Finding equivalent x,y position values in HD video

    Posted by John Titor on June 13, 2012 at 4:12 pm

    Hi, I have a video that I changed from 720×540 to 1920×1080. I want the animation of the energy beams in this video to have the same positions as they move across the screen relative to the 720×540 version. For each animation of the beams I have two position key frames. I need to work out what the values for these key frames are for the 1920×1080 version but don’t have the maths skills to find them. Here are the values for the topmost beam in 720×540. The beams start and end outside of the shot as they travel into view.

    start position

    x: 1241.8 y: 278

    end position

    x: 400.1 y: 195

    Is there a way to translate these values to their relative equivalents in HD?

    If you use the Scale Composition script (File > Scripts > Scale composition.jsx) and set the new height to 1080, it will scale these values for you.
