Hmm the raw footage size might be different….I left my project files at school and couldn’t check it at home, and that was the size I remembered. Sorry :S

I’ll try the square pixels suggestions. I didn’t do that before when I was using AE, so that could possibly be the problem. I was rescaling it the footage in my composition..I was stretching it vertically so it would fit properly….so as you said that’s probably the mistake I’ve been making.

Thank you so much for all your help. I’d be so lost without these forums.

Hi,

Here’s the code after uploading the video:

——————————————
body
object classid=”clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000″
codebase=”https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0″
width=350
height=392
id=showmovie
align=middle
param name=”allowScriptAccess” value=”sameDomain”
param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”false”
param name=”wmode” value=”transparent”
param name=”movie” value=” src here”
param name=”quality” value=”high”
embed src=” src here”
quality=”high”
width=350
height=392
name=showmovie
align=middle
wmode=”transparent”
allowScriptAccess=”sameDomain”
allowFullScreen=”false”
type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” pluginspage=”https://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer”

object
body
——————————————–

I used the composition settings to change the height and width. The raw footage was shot with a Sony camera, so when I downloaded it to my computer the footage was something like 540 * 1080. The footage is of a person, so when I upload it to the database, the dimensions are distorted. A video that was originally 350 * 350 would appear extremely small on the browser. If I make a video that is 180 * 350….for some odd reason, the person on the video is stretched horizontally.
So I switched it around and tried 350 * 180….then it looks the same as the 350 * 350 video!
I’m going to use this video for a website…it’s my final new media project.

Thank you so much for helping me!

Hey, thanks for your suggestions. Yes, actually it is displayed with reduced height dimensions. I looked at the code, and my prof has set the flash player dimensions at 350 * 392…..since I can’t alter his code, I tried to make the video at that size, but then the figures of the video appear to be half the size of the flash screen.

So I tried to double the height, then the size of the figures were reduced even further!

I’m new at this video editing stuff, so is there something I’m missing? Do I need to use Adobe Flash on top of After effects to make a web video?

Thanks again!

Thanks for your help! At least now I’m not completely lost.
