Custom resolution

[datascab]

Hi,

i've just started looking at autogk having played with GK for a while.

i got stuck with a problem.

I have a 720x480 4:3 NTSC source.

i want the end result to be 480x320 for my tapwave zodiac.

the standard parameters will only allow for a 480x272 output and hence this leaves small black borders

to obtain the 480x272, a crop(6,68,-6,-64) does it then a resize.

in GK and other apps i do a crop(66,68,-66,-64) and then resize to 480x320... viola... lol.

The effect is a slightly zoomed image, sufficient to remove the black bars that would otherwise be present

How can i do this in AutoGK without editing the script it produces?


Thanks

Neil

Err..you can't. Normally.

But I will tell you a trick. :rolleyes:

1) set fixed width = 480 and go into 'Hidden Options'.
2) under '.aspect', check 'Override input AR', select AR as 16:9.
3) press OK and close the dialog.
4) now go to the VOB source directory look for a file called '.aspect'.
5) open it in Notepad and change the value inside it from '16:9' to '3:2' and save.
6) now come back to the AutoGK window, Add job, Start.
7) done. Your .avi will be 480x320.

will this preserve the aspect ratio. i mean i'm after doing a zoom really and cropping the sides.

thanks

You can't do one more crop after you resize in AutoGK. That'd mean editing the script, so I think you'd better stick to GK. You can resize to 480x320, but the aspect ratio will be b0rked. Really, crop+custom resize+crop is too much to ask of AutoGK.
