1280x720 video being cropped down to 1248x702 for no reason

I've been using Compressor to batch export a large number of long lecture videos. My settings are:
Format: QT
Width: 1280
Height: 720
Pixel aspect ratio: Square
Crop: None
Padding: None
Frame rate: 29.97
Frame Controls: Automatically selected: Off
Codec Type: H.264
Multi-pass: On, frame reorder: On
Pixel depth: 24
Spatial quality: 75
Min. Spatial quality: 25
Key frame interval: 90
Temporal quality: 50
Min. temporal quality: 25
Fast Start: on
The first 15 times or so, it worked wonderfully, but the past 3 or 4 times I've tried it, the right and bottom sides of the video are cropped down to 1248x702. I tried trashing all the compressor preference files per
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1888
Reinstalling Compressor requires getting my office's IT department involved, which I'm not going to do. When I export a single video straight out of Final Cut Pro with the same settings, it works fine. I'm running all the latest versions of everything.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on? Final Cut can't handle the large batch exports I need to do, so I need to get Compressor working again.

It's probably this:

Lenovo T500 battery stays on %100 for awhile then drops down to %99 for no reason

Hi,
The Lenovo T500 battery stays on %100 for awhile then drops down to %99 for no reason. What's up with this and how do I fix this issue? My laptop is really confusing me. The green battery says it's totally charged %100 and the little AC adapter icon in the system tray says "%99 available (plugged in, not charging.")
Thanks,
Liz

Hello Liz,
that is considered to be normal.
It´s bettter for a Li-ion battery not to be charged fully, so the powermanager don´t load the whole time.
That´s why the percentage could drop. But thats not a problem thats a feature.
if your battery handling is set to automatic in powermanager then, eveythings is ok.
Do you use your machine with AC plugged in the whole time?

HDV video being cropped in timeline

I captured video in HDV, cut it into clips and when I drag them into the timeline they appear to be cropped on playback. It looks as if the 1440x1080 HDV frames are being cropped into 720x480 frames when they go into the timeline rather than being converted down to the smaller size. How do I keep the full frames in the edited movie. I've searched around for problems in settings but haven't been able to find out much. I'm a fairly experienced PC user but pretty much of a newby to Premiere. Any help would be much appreciated.

Welcome to the forums.
It sounds like you have created a standard-definition sequence.
Create a new sequence and choose a high-definition preset. Now when you put your clips on the timeline they will be correct.
One other possibility is that you have your Program Monitor magnification set to something other than "Fit". Have a look at the drop-down list just below the Program Monitor.

Finding my iMac shut down or rebooted for no reason at all?!?!?

I recently transferred my iMac G5 to an iMac Intel. Since doing so, I have found my new iMac Intel in the mornings completely shut down or as if it had been restarted (user account selection screen). This morning, I sat down at the computer and moved the mouse to wake it from sleep and this prompted the computer to restart!!! My Energy Saver settings are (and have been) set to wake the computer at 2:49AM and SuperDuper! (latest version is installed) is (and has been for awhile) set to do a Smart Backup at that time. Based on the log in SuperDuper! it appears last nights backup did not happen. I'm wondering if something is happening with SuperDuper! It is NOT set to restart or shut down the computer after a backup, only to quit the application itself. I never had this problem on my iMac G5. I don't have any other apps that I'm aware of that are doing anything overnight.
Interestingly, this morning after the computer restarted, I started a manual backup with SuperDuper! then left the computer and went to work. When my wife came to the computer later on, the user account screen was up suggesting the computer had been restarted once again.
Is there anything else that could be causing this? A setting that might have defaulted somewhere to cause restarts or shut downs? I booted from my external FW drive (G-Drive GRAID 500) and repaired permissions and repaired the disk of my internal iMac Intel HD. Blast it DriveGenius not being Intel compliant yet!!! I'll see if this happens again. If so, I'll try disabling SuperDuper! overnight backups for awhile and see it fixes things. In the meantime, any thoughts on why or what is causing this? Others' with this problem? Thanks.

hey joshua-
you could also try a smc reset, and disconnect devices you have attached. if disconnecting devices changes it, reintroduce devices one by one so you can weed out which one may be causing the behavior. reset the smc by unplugging all devices and then unplugging power cord from back of machine where it goes into the power supply. wait at least ten seconds. then reintroduce the cord at the same time as pressing the power button. another thing to consider doing for this problem is to pull the /libary/preferences/systemconfiguration folder (at root level) but you will have to reintroduce your network settings. good luck with that.

My 17" macbook pro has started to shut itself down or restart for no reason. Can anyone tell me why?

Today for no apparant reason, my macbook pro has been restarting itself.
Has happened 8 times so far, very frustrating since I keep losing whatever I was working on at the time.
L/top runs windows xp because 2 programs I use for work ( CAD and Mapinfo ) don't work on Macs.
Anyone got any bright ideas why this is happening.
Annoying for a PC that cost me best part of $4k.

Navigation of media in Photoshop Organizer cannot be controlled. It skips up and down the page for no reason while I am trying to select photos.

The reason my photos are in such a mess is because of the behavior that goes on when I am trying to get them organized. When I have my mouse in the screen with all the photos and select a few, suddenly my mouse has moved me to another place. Is there a setting to control this behavior? I have looked at the mouse settings and see nothing there. Furthermore, I don't have this problem in other programs. I am using a MAC computer.

My ipad 4 has a white apple that shuts down my ipad for no reason n wont stop doing it arrggg

i just need some help with this ipad that keeps showing this stupid white apple on the screen

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
What about free space? Do you have enough free space on your iPad? With iOS 7 it is recommended that you have 15-20% of the storage space on the device free. For a 16 GB device that is 2.4-3.2 GB free. For a 32 GB device that is 4.8-6.4 GB free. For a 64 GB device that is 9.6-12.8 GB free.

I just bought new iphone5 and in less than 48 hours its starting act crazy like keep on shutting down in abrupt for no reason

Error when upgrading to 10.5 on Windows7. Message is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE32\Software\Classes\.m4b\OpenWithList\itunes.exe. Verify that you have sufficent access to that key. I am an administrator but cannot get to that key for some reason.

I tried creating a new user account and installing and it would not work either. I tried the uninstall recommendation from Apple and that did not work. I am running out of ideas. I even had my IT look at it and they said Apple sometimes locks down their registries for some reason.

This isn't really my thing but no one else has replied.
A few thoughts, if this is an upgrade, are you using the same account to do the upgrade as you used for the original install? If now it might be worth trying the other account.
Although you account has admin status, it might be worth logging in as THE adminstrator, if you haven't done that.
Although you don't have HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\.aif\OpenWithProgIds, you didn't say if you have HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\.aif - if you do it might be worth checking permission there.
If this is an iTunes 7.5 upgrade problem - you didn't say - it might be worth gettting the details to royb - see this post:

Open Activity monitor in Utilities, go to the CPU tab>All Processes, and note any process that would appear to be related to importing photos, such as iPhoto, and use Force Quit. This may only be a temporary fix, as it may start all over again when you reboot. If that happens, we need to do some more investigating.
Also, close all open Applications, then open Terminal in Utilities and copy/paste and hit return, then post the output of this command.

Warp Stabilizer crops bottom of video if videos layers are beneath it for no reason. Why???

Warp Stabilizer crops bottom of video if videos layers are beneath it for no reason. Why???
remove the layers beneath and it's fine. Hopefully adobe addresses this issue asap to save all of us a good amount of time.

I have noticed similar: apply crop to a layer and with all settings at 0 a line of underlying video can be seen at the bottom.

In the past when I have imported my dslr video/audio files and then my zoom audio files Final Cut Pro has organized them in pairs in my library. For some reason my video/audio and my audio are being organized seperately. How do I fix this? Thanks!

Thank you Russ! Seems as though the timestamp on my audio files was completely incorrect so it placed the files far away from the corresponding video. I've modified the timestamp information and this has helped. The hour/minute information is incorrect but at least now I'm in the ballpark. Thank you!

You stumbled on a Mac Tower forum, not notebooks.
If you are running 10.6.8 then you must have bought it 3-4 yrs ago?
Might want to check the specs and then look at various programs and their requirements as to whether Final Cut Express and ah, you want to import media to an app, not "upload."

Is there a solution for videos being lost?

I use Keynote 09 to make presentations for my Terrorism and homeland security class at college, and my buddy uses a pc with powerpoint. when I send him a build as a ppt export, he gets it fine, except the videos. Same thing when he re-adds the video at his end, and I import it into keynote. videos are gone. I cannot do the export to quicktime, since the college uses windows format, and they do not have Macs there. is there a way to export the videos inside the keynote in a format that windows will recognize? my buddy and I are about to go crazy here.

the problem lies with the college not using quicktime on their computers. In other words, I have to use a format that will play natively in powerpoint for windows. My friend, Ron, has quicktime installed, but the videos still will not play. I have contacted apple customer support, and he gave me some ideas as to why this is occurring. If I am not mistaken, mpeg-4 should play nicely with keynote and powerpoint, but this doesn't seem to be working. The program seems to be "forgetting" where it stuck the video files, and ends up sending a link to the videos to the last drive they were on. In other words, when I send the file to him, the video files in the presentation are linked inside the keynote-to-powerpoint file to MY drive, and not sent to him. For example, Instead of a file that should be, say, 30mb, it ends up being less than 5mb. So, when he opens up the powerpoint on his end, all the slides are there, content included, except video, which is now just a link to where the files "lived" on my drive, which, naturally, his powerpoint does not have access to.
The weird thing is this, If he sends it to me, Keynote opens up everything but the videos, which Keynote tells me are just links to where they "lived" on his drive. On a side note, I have Office for Mac 2004 installed, and it, too, fails to open the powerpoint. I downloaded the patch that enables it to open the powerpoint, but alas, the videos will not open in Powerpoint for Mac 2004 either. I cannot tell him how to embed the videos on powerpoint, but I can say that I have all appropriate boxes checked in the SAVE AS....powerpoint dropdown in Keynote. I may have to make a permanent place on my drive to put the videos, then export the presentation as a zip file with videos included. I don't know, this is just guessing on my part. Anything to prevent Keynote from "forgetting" where the videos are supposed to be, and that it should include them in the slide......
If you have read this far, and understand my generalizations, does this make sense to you? Is there some kind of solution to this? I am sure I am not the only Keynote user with the issue of lost videos upon export into Powerpoint, and everyone could benefit by a solution or workaround.
Thank you.

Images are cutted and youtube-videos are breaking down in ie7, ie8

hi muse-experts,
have the problem, that some images are cutted in ie7, ie8. the side is now working on businesscatalyst and another server.
images are cutted here on bc: http://trabbitour.businesscatalyst.com/angebote.html , http://trabbitour.businesscatalyst.com/ostalgisches.html , http://trabbitour.businesscatalyst.com/deine-trabbitour.html
the same on the other server: http://trabbitour.de/angebote.html , http://trabbitour.de/ostalgisches.html , http://trabbitour.de/deine-trabbitour.html
the videos are breaking down, by starting to scroll the side: http://trabbitour.businesscatalyst.com/trab(b)i-was-is-n-das.html
for ie adaption I inserted on all pages between html and head this line: <!— switch IE 7,8,9,10 to quirks mode —> but with or without this, the error is the same.
maybe you have an idea, what I can do and what the problem is?
thank you.

It's very difficult to say without knowing more about your system. There are a number of possibilities. First, your 13" lacks a discrete GPU, so the CPU is doing the work that a GPU would have done as far as decoding video streams, etc. Each video stream will consume considerable resources from the machine, and if you have multiple things running with video streams being decoded (for example, a browser with video Flash or cumbersome animation and iMovie running at the same time), then that may be a factor.
Additionally, it could be that you are memory constrained. You didn't post a picture of the process list from activity monitor or the memory usage stats, but you probably want to look and see what the memory and CPU usage is and who's consuming what. Some applications are pretty inefficient. For example, if you have iPhoto open and have thousands of images, the indexed metadata and thumbnails are all stored in RAM. iMovie pulls in clip thumbnail sets - (and worse, it has to do on-the-fly transcoding video assets from some cameras that don't encode the video using the parameters it expects to make indexing frames easier). Again, this would show up as periodic spikes in CPU activity for the app.
You seem to have plenty of disk space, that's not likely to be a problem.
Check if Time Machine is running. Time Machine introduces a performance impact, but it's exacerbated by the presence of frequently changed large files (e.g., you don't want Time Machine backing up your video projects while you are working on them).
Lastly, you may consider checking the console for error messages. This might reveal background processes that might be bogging down the system, or things like filesystem/disk errors. If there are errors in the filesystem, when you access certain portions of the disk, the OS and applications can slow down or lock-up as a result.
