Resample

Changing the resolution or format of a clip or image.

What is resample in ScreenFlow?

Resample in ScreenFlow is a feature that allows users to change the frame rate of their video clips. This can be particularly useful when you are working with footage that was recorded at a different frame rate than the one you intend to use for your final output. By resampling, you can ensure that your video plays back smoothly, without any unwanted stuttering or choppiness.

Resampling can also be used to create slow-motion or fast-motion effects. For instance, if you have a clip that was recorded at a high frame rate, you can resample it to a lower frame rate to create a slow-motion effect. Conversely, if you have a clip that was recorded at a low frame rate, you can resample it to a higher frame rate to create a fast-motion effect. This feature provides flexibility and creative control over your video editing process in ScreenFlow.

How to resample in ScreenFlow?

Resampling in ScreenFlow can be done through a few simple steps. First, open the ScreenFlow application and select the video clip you want to resample. Once the video clip is selected, go to the "File" menu at the top of the screen and select "Document Settings".

In the Document Settings window, you will see an option for "Resolution". Click on this and a drop-down menu will appear with different resolution options. Select the resolution you want to resample your video to. After you've made your selection, click "Apply" to save the changes. Your video will now be resampled to the chosen resolution. Remember to save your project after making these changes to ensure the resampling is applied.

What does resample mean in ScreenFlow?

In ScreenFlow, resampling refers to the process of changing the frame rate of a video clip. This is often done to match the frame rate of the video clip to that of the project or other video clips within the project. For example, if you have a video clip that was shot at 60 frames per second (fps), but your project is set to 30 fps, you might resample the video clip to 30 fps to ensure it plays back smoothly in your project.

Resampling can also be used to create slow-motion or fast-motion effects. By increasing or decreasing the frame rate of a video clip, you can make the action appear to move more slowly or more quickly. However, it's important to note that resampling can sometimes result in a loss of video quality, particularly if the frame rate is significantly increased or decreased.

Why is resampling important in ScreenFlow?

Resampling in ScreenFlow is important for a number of reasons. Firstly, it allows for the adjustment of the video's resolution, which can be crucial for fitting the video to different screen sizes and formats. This is particularly useful when the video is being viewed on different devices, such as smartphones, tablets, or computers, each of which may have different screen resolutions.

Secondly, resampling can also be used to improve the quality of the video. By increasing the number of pixels in the video, it can make the video appear sharper and more detailed. This can be particularly beneficial for videos that contain a lot of detail or for those that are intended to be viewed on high-resolution screens. Therefore, resampling is a key tool in the video editing process in ScreenFlow.
