Clips import with black edges left and right

I viewed my clip (avi file) using quicktime to confirm that it was the right one that i wanted to import and it looked fine. Then i imported into imovie and it doesn't fit the whole screen. It's got about 1/8 inch of black along the left and right. The weird thing is that when i import photos it does the same thing but i scale them to 102 % to correct. How can I correct this?

bear in mind that tv broadcasts are often stretched/zoomed/cropped etc to make it appear that it is widescreen, when really it is 4:3.
also it is possible that your TV is simply stretching to make it fill your screen.
your TV may be able to stretch it to fill the screen, but the appletv will always output it in the correct aspect ratio.
also it is only recently that most of the tv output has been widescreen. 6 years ago when wire season 1 was produced, 4:3 non-widescreen was very much the norm, especially in USA.

  • How do I deal with audio, seperate left and right and make each stereo--CS5

    I have a two mono mike recording which I can seperate into two seperate audio timeline tracks one is now left track in a seperate timline and the other is right in the other timeline, how do I make each of these tracks then into psuedo stereo tracks?  Do I have to go to Soundbooth or is there a simple way in Premiere?

    Bill G, tell me what I am missing and I'll use your method.  I have what I think you are describing, and I don't understand the need to do anything special, if you use channel mapping.
    I record a lav on one channel, and a different wireless mic on the other.  When captured, I have a clip that PR would normally treat as a single stereo track.
    BEFORE putting any clips on the timeline, select all clips and set channel mapping.  Set each channel to mono.  Now PR treats these as two mono tracks.  The output for each mono is the master track, which in my project is stereo.  I can change "volume" for each track in the mixer, etc.  but each channel is provided to the left and right  master output.
    I didn't go back to sort out what you had, but if you had two stereo tracks, one each with a left and right channel only, I can see that you needed some other solution.

  • Aspect Ratio - Black Bars Left and Right on Widescreen TV

    Hi - I have downloaded a couple of TV series to my laptop PC using ITunes. These playback on my laptop screen filling the screen. I got an Apple TV yesterday, synced it with my Laptop ITunes library and there are black bars on either side of my 1080 widescreen TV. There are no black bars with DVD or Cable. The apple TV splash screen fills the whole of my widescreen. I have tried playing with the resolution settings on the TV and on my Apple TV settings but as yet not figured out how to fix this. Any ideas?

  • How to make track work in both left and right speaker?

    i have an audio track with 2 speakers that each had a lav mic on them.  one was recorded into left channel and the other the right channel.  so of course when i play back each of their voices only come out of one speaker.  pretty new to audition so how do i fix the track so that they each come out of both speakers?  TIA

    I have to say that, although not uncommon, for TV it depends quite a lot on how things are shot.  In a standard interview situation where you might have a 2-shot to establish (with a definite left and right position) then a close up of the interviewee then a cutaway of the reporter and so on, panning can become very confusing and it tends to be better to just put everything in the centre.
    Radio is easier because you don't have to be aware of what pictures are showing--but, even there care needs to be taken especially since, as Steve says, a lot of listening is on ear buds or headphones which accentuate any panning.  Even in radio, though, choices have to be careful...for example, let's say the host starts with an interview where he's panned slightly right and the guest slightly left.  So far, so good.  However, then the next two stories are just studio reads...does the host stay panned slightly right for consistency or does he move to the centre possibly causing confusion? 
    I'm not saying never give positioning clues in a radio or TV mix, just that you always have to be aware of the bigger picture.

  • LED display, bright edges, specially left and right

    I have a mbp 5.1 late 2008 model received jan 2009.
    My display/screen is becoming brighter and brighter at the left and right edges.
    If i look at a black screen, the left/right edges are not black but getting brighter than the rest of the screen.
    As this computer is primarily for serious photo processing, this is really annoying and if it gets worse its a computer who cant be used at all.
    Any ideas ? Any trips/trix to conquer the problem....or are the display pure and simply defect (great...just outside 2 years complaint period)

  • Video with 5.1 surround sound only shows up as center left and right in FCPX?

    When I import a video that already has 5.1 surround sound, the clip will show up in only center left and right, according to the audio meters.  Other files with surround sound will sometimes play in only the center and left channel.  I know the file has 5.1 surround sound because it plays fine through my home theater and it shows there's 6 channels in video information....It just doesn't play right in Final Cut.

    Make sure your Project Audio and Render Properties/Audio Channels are set for Surround:
    You then need to define your audio stems in the Inspector based on channel, like this:

  • CM2320 unwanted black fading borders left and right

    Hello,
    I have a CM2320. When printing I get about 2-3cm wide of unwanted toner at the left and right edges.
    At the edges it is pretty black and it is fading to the center of the page.
    I ran the cleaning routine. The reference page printed after this is perfectly fine. Then when I print another page from software the problem is back.
    Can anybody tell me what is likely causing this problem?
    I was thinking about replacing the toners, but as these are rather costly it would be really nice to know in advance if this will have any effect, and if this problem can be solved at all.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • Is there a way to tie to iPads together so that when you turn a page with a tap on one, both iPads turn a page.  I am using the ipad to replace piano sheet music.  The challenge is that ordinary sheet music is on both a left and right page.

    We are trying to use an ipad to replace ordinary paper sheet music on a piano.  When truning ordinary paper pages, it is sometimes hard to grasp one page, turn it quickly and get it to stay turned.  The idea with using an ipad is that a tap turns the page, it stays turned.  However,,,,,ordinary sheet music is on both left and right pages.  With one turn you get 2 new pages.  The ipad, being smaller results in only one page and therefore twice as many page turn taps; more taps equals less hands on the piano.  If we could tie 2 ipads together and get them both to turn the page simultaneously it would be nice.  We are trying to get used to using the ipad.  We are using ForScore app to get sheet music into the ipad; we could load one with odd pages and one with even pages.  Maybe this is getting too complicated.
    Anyway to tie 2 units together
    John

    No way to control one device from the other.  But, according to ForScore, you should be able to display two sheets side by side in landscape mode (2-up view)?  Not sure if that helps as it must make the actual print smaller to do so.

    Hello jacquemac,
    Your first question:
    There might be a better way of achieving what you wish to do, but following these steps could help you out.
    You might want to blend in Thumbnails and Invisibles either with (cmd+shift+i and cmd+alt+p) or over the View section in the Menubar.
    1. go for Documents (right end of the Toolbar) -> Section
    2. place your cursor at the very top of your second page and click "Create new Section->Starting with this page" in the side bar on your right.
    (what you are actually doing next is setting the pagenumbers for each section you created. You can see your sections in the Thumbnail view.)
    3. click on your first page (the first and only page of your first section) and mark the checkbox "Hide on first page of section"
    4. click on your second page (the first page of your second section) and  "Insert page number" -> start at 1
    Your second question:
    Im not quite sure i understand what exactly you want to do here. One page, two columns, each column with another page number? As far as i know this is not possible.
    greetings jl

  • ITunes 7 playing only from left and right channels with 5.1 speakers

    I have an SB Audigy 1 sound card with Creative Inspire 5200 digital 5.1 speakers, and iTunes only plays audio from the left and right speakers, and the subwoofer. The other 3 speakers work; I've tested them.

    I am having more or less the same problems as you guys. Currently I use a soundblaster audigy 4 with "CMSS 3D" function ... it used to work with itunes but started to get all weird with the 7.0 update. If nobody knows how to fix this I will have to use 6.xx again :/
    I'd be grateful for any advice as well,
    thanks in advance.

  • Windows bottom corner left and right edges are not rounded

    Hello,
    I have an issue with my macbook pro retina 13inch.
    The left and right bottom corner are not rounded like they are supposed to be, I can see the pixel.
    They do not always appear so it is not a display problem (dead pixel) but a software problem.
    For example with full screen mode in safari sometimes they appear sometiems they do not.
    A clean install of my mac did not solve the issues.
    Here is a picture to explain the issues :

  • Thunderbolt has 2" blank border on the left and right edges.

    When I connect my Macbook Pro 13" to my Thunderbolt display, the screen display has a 2" border on the left and right edge.  How do I size the screen to fill up the entire display?

    Hi. I had the same resolution problem as jmzmac...I turned off mirroring and my Thunderbolt display now just has the standard screen saver on it. If I click on System Preferences that window will show on the TBD and I can move my mouse across the two screens so I have an extended desktop but I really want mirroring with the correct resolution so there isn't that 2" space on either side of the screen. I tried the clamshell mode (closing the MacBook Pro, waiting a few seconds, pressing any key to wake it up) but nothing happens on the TBD. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (Running 10.6.8)

  • Urgent: left and right cut off when dragging entire clip to project

    When I right click the clips in the event library and click "Select entire clip" and drag that to the project window, the left and right sides of the video are cut off.  If I select only a single clip and drag that up or a portion of a clip, it looks ok.  I need to get this thing done in an hour or so and I am baffled because there are people in this video that are being cut off!  Help!

    Actually, the more I look at it, the entire frame is cropped, even though I have "Initial Video Placement" set to fit in frame, not crop.  The quality really gets lousy too when dragging them in.  I am baffled why dragging a single clip fits the entire video, but dragging the entire clip series gets cropped...??
