videostudio 10 plus video squeeze

[plop]

New to the forum,but have used ulead video studio for some time,
i am using videostudio 10plus at the moment.
Please can someone tell me how or even if possible i can squeeze the video to one side and then run the titles down the other side?
i am trying to have the video on full screen then squeeze it to half size then the titles run on the left,i have managed to create the video in full then on second overlay track reduce the size ,works but is not what i need to do as looks messy.
any help would be appreciated.
Titles fine but need smooth video squeeze.
many thanks

In 4:3,

I haven't tried it but the way I would go about it is pretty much the same way you did and that's put the video file on the overlay track and adjust the size whilst keeping the aspect ratio even. This of course means you'll be pushing the video to a corner rather than half the screen.

Any other "squeezing" will distort the ratio and I presume this is what you meant by "messy".



16:9,

I haven't tried this either so I am guessing but I would try playing with the Crop effect. Turning a 16:9 into roughly 8:9 leaving you with the other half of the screen to play with. I guess it would be like...
1) Edit out the section of video from the point it would be pushed to one side.
2) crop the trimmed video in a new timeline and render it into video file that you can drop into the overlay track of your main project. This bit will be tricky, I would imagine, as I am not sure if this is possible but worth a try
3) Creat your titles in a new project and turn that into a video file and drop that into a second overlay track of the main project.

It might not work but I'm giving a guide to how I would approach it. It could be my lateral thinking is off track.

ok,thanks for the response,to make this even more confusing and this may help,i run for the video for say 30 seconds full screen (16:9)then my hand appears and pushes the video to the l/h side half the screen(i know that the video will appear squashed but this is ok) i used chroma key for my hand etc.the titles then roll up the r/h side .
by running the video in main timeline then adding colour,then moving the rest of the video to second time line but squashed to left works,but the messy bit is the change between the full and squash screen.
i hope this makes more sense,i have done this before in windows movie maker but without chroma key effects.

How did you do it in movie maker?

[plop]

In Windows movie maker go to choose title and animation,then go to
"credits scroll up on the right with video squeeze"

Thats all there is to it.

Thanks For Reply ,Unfortunately not this one either,
Imagine a full screen of video,then after a few seconds the video compresses to the right hand side leaving the screen with video down right hand side and blank down the left(in which i put the credits) the credits are no problem,all i need to do is squeeze the video ,but i need this to squeeze smoothly.as i said before this is so easy to do in windows movie maker and at the moment inpossible to do with ulead which to me appears very odd.
i hope this makes even more since

As I understand it, what you want to do requires what is called moving paths. Unfortunately VS does not have that capability. Big brother MediaStudio Pro does have that function and can probably do what you want very easily.

If you can do this with WMM, then why not use it? Just make sure your video file created using WMM is the same format (MPEG2, DV) or whatever you're using in VS. Then insert that into VS for your ending credits.

It is not taboo, to use several different applications. I don't think there are very many applications that can really "do it all", and quite well at doing it all. I promise that if you choose to use WMM, then we won't tell a sole..

Yes Many thanks for the last reply,you dont know how relieved i feel now
i was so worried they would come round and take ulead off me if i used other bits of software

I think i just assumed that wmm did it ,being so basic that ulead would do this aswell.
maybe its time to move up a level to media studio.
Any way as new to the forum i am so pleased there are people out there to advise.
Thanks for all your help.
