goddi Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Gary,See my replies, embedded in the text above. If you are cropping most images, why not crop all to the same size or post-process the cropped images through a batch resize? It is so much easier to work with all your images at the same size.PeterYes... I usually don't get myself into this position with images not being exactly the same size. Yes, I can do the cropping when in Photoshop to crop to the same size. Good point. Thanks...Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lin Evans Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Hi Gary,Just a side note. Any "mask" in PTE can be adjusted to virtually any aspect ratio and once you have it visually as you want, then you can observe the numeric coefficients in the Animations Tab in O&A and set those numbers for any other images of the same aspect ratio. Just hold down the keyboard "shift" key and drag the side of the mask desired to any position. You can repeat this action with all four sides of a rectangular mask. You can also distort the shape of the "round" mask to any oval shape you desire by doing likewise. You can further distort the shape of any mask by applying three dimensional aspects and use the keyboard shift key to adjust accordingly.Best regards,Lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 I think that Gary probably wants precise mask dimensions here so inputing via the keyboard in "Size Position....." e.g. 1920x100 (x.86 ) would be the best way forward?DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lin Evans Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Yes, but from his former message I got the feeling that he wasn't familiar with the fact that the mask can be made to virtually any rectangular size or oval shape. Once created it can be duplicated by observing the numeric values.Best regards,Lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I am far from getting that creative! But good to know.Thanks... Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
