Black bar left side when importing

When importing Quicktime HDV 1080i60 video into an HD project, I wind up with a black bar on the left side of the movie. I've tried every combination of HD format and preference setting. Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong?

For everyone who is interested, I tried some more things:
I had a long phone call today with Apple Support (when upgrading to Mountain Lion you get 90 days phone support again) and we did similar things.
First: change the settings - didnt work
Second: Option+Cmd+P+R to reset PRAM - didnt work either
Third: create a new partition, clean install mountain lion and see if the problem still exists. At the beginning it worked but after once changing the resolution it cant get back to the correct displaying anymore. Same problem also.
They said that then it is probably the fact that the driver of the display doesnt work with ML - I should contact Acer now.
Or I should get back to the technical helpdesk again.
Will try both...
But it means that it is a software issue caused by ML.
Keep on trying...

Laserjet pro m1530 has black bar at top when copying

Laserjet pro m1530 has black bar at top when copying, scanning bar seems to stick and not reset at top. Turning copier off seems to reset the screen back to top but next copy has same problem. No problem when printing from computer.

Have you tried connecting the print to a different wall outlet or location?
if no please try it and if it doesnt resolve then contact HP Tech support on 1 800 474 6836 and they will asist you further.

Iphoto is blacking out vertical images when importing. how do i fix this?

iphoto is blacking out vertical images when importing. how do i fix this?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on eight different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

42ZV625D has a black vertical bar at left side when used as monitor

My 42ZV625D LCD TV displays a black bar at left side of the screen when used as monitor at resolution 1366 x 768. When I adjust the position of the screen a grey overlay appears at the opposite side. Can someone help me with this?

Hi there
If you like you can do a System restore to a previously known good state.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=in&lc=en&docname=c03327545
Alternatively try uninstalling current graphic driver from Display adapters section in Device Manager & reinstalling the latest Graphic driver from your HP support page.
Then restart the system, check.

Black Bars on Sides & Poor Upload to YouTube

        I have already tried converting my Mp4's from my camera to AVI and this will resolve the black bars but the end result is still poor video once uploaded... I get the little red x in the lower left hand corner about poor display quality (see picture at bottom) If I work with the original Mp4s and leave the Black Bars on the side the videos looks fine... please help. The AVIs are taking too much space once I convert them from Mp4 so I would like to leave that option out of this topic, unless someone can tell me how set Super or Prisim up to keep the file size the same when converting or how to convert an Mp4 to AVI in a smaller format that is usable by Premiere.

1. Open Premiere Elements 8.0.1 and set the project preset (new project dialog) = PAL AVCHD Full HD1080i25.
2. In the program, Edit Menu/Preferences/General, have a check mark next to "Default Scale to Frame Size".
3. Right click the Edit Mode Monitor, select Magnification, and have the set on "Fit".
4. Using Premiere Elements' Get Media/Files & Folders, import your AVCHD 1920x 1080 16:9 video into the program. (You will see your video in the Organizer.)
5. Drag your video from the Organizer to the Timeline. Are you seeing a 4:3 version of it in the Edit Mode Monitor?
6. If so, click on the Project Tab in the row below the active Organize (Blue) Tab to bring up the Project Media View.
7. In the Project Media View, right click your video in the list to bring up the Interpret Footage dialog.
8. In the Interpret Footage dialog, under Pixel Aspect Raio, dot the "Conform to:" and change the setting = Square Pixels (1.0). After you click OK to that, see what your video now looks like in the Edit Mode Monitor.
Miscelleanous
1. You can also use the Interpret Footage dialog for Frame Rate considerations.
2. Although the gspot read out does not give a reading for PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio), the PAR can be calculated from the SAR and DAR values given since PAR = DAR/SAR and, in your case, 1.778/1.778 = 1.0. The DAR is Display Aspect Ratio and the SAR is Storage Aspect Ratio.
3. What is the duration (seconds, minutes, hours) of the video that you have been trying to use in Premiere Elements 8.0.1. You are working with AVCHD which is a very resourve demanding format, and it appears that you have 2 GB RAM installs that probably translates in much less available and you do not say how much free hard drive space your computer has. But, if the video in question is only of a few seconds duration, we should be able to work through this pixel aspect ratio issue.

PAL DVD WS export: why black bars at sides?

I am editing a 1920x1080 EXCAM HD sequence in Premiere Pro CS6.01 on Win7x64.
I want to export to PAL Widescreen DVD.
When I use the PAL WS presets to export from Premiere I get black bars on either side of the MPEG2 DVD footage.
Why is this?
Both 1920x1080 and PAL WS are 16:9 (aren't they?). So why am I getting the black bars? Shouldn't the PAL DVD footage fill the entire width of the frame?
Any ideas why I get these black bars? And even better, how I can get rid of them?
Cheers
Mark

Why is this?
Before the age of digital video, it was decided by technocrats that what we see in the end product (called the Clean Aperture) would be different from what was there in the original (called the Production Aperture). They left off some pixels at the side when they made the calculation for the widescreen Pixel Aspect Ratio. That process has unfortunately carried over onto digital video, and we're still using that same old analog PAR, instead of what we should be using when you calculate it for the entire frame. This results in the black bars you see.
In CS6, this is easily overcome by selecting Scale to Fill in the Export settings.

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?

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.

SWF/FLV files show white/black bars on sides of frame

I have a recurring issue of bars showing up on the left and right side of my swf/flv frames. The good news is the video plays on our site. The bad news is the bars show up on some of the flash files (like on testimonials.html) and not on others (like wedding.html), even though I perceive I'm copying in the same code.

Hi
1st. I like many other will not download a zip file, can you post a link to the site?
It may be if you are using the same code but only changing the swf/flv file name, that the swf/flv's are smaller than the size specified in your object code - width="600" height="366".
If the swf/flv's size is smaller then the player will be the size specified, but your swf/flv will be centralized inside the player, (unless otherwise specified) resulting in the white/black bars.

Transcode produces black bars on side in Encore but not AME

I am Transcoding 1920x1080 footage to NTSC widescreen DVD's. If I transcode the footage in Apple Compressor, or Adobe Media Encoder(with 12px top/bottom crop) it comes out correct. If I transcode in Encore, I cannot get rid of the thin black bars on the side. I am setting the crop in the Encore settings but this just creates a border all around and does not solve the problem.When I preview the output, it looks correct in the "Edit Quality Presets" window but has the borders in the timeline. I make a lot of quick one-off DVD's and I'm trying to find ways to just use one piece of software and not create a lot of extra steps. I understand why the crop is needed, I just need to know how to get Encore to give the same result as AME does.
Thanks.

Hey Ann. I couldn't make it work with just setting it to 16:9. It's the same thing as when rendering out a scaled HD square pixel file in a 720x480 (1.21) comp in After Effects. The top and bottom needs a bit of cropping to work in a SD 16:9 world.

Black bars on sides after exporting

I recently downloaded the trial version of Premiere Pro CC which I have never before. When exporting, my project has black bars on both sides and I'm not sure how to fix it. I know little about editing so I'm not sure how to fix this problem. I've tried multiple export setting and in each preview I see the black bars as well. Any help would be greaty appreciated. Thanks!

Your photo of the Sequence Settings tells only part of the story. The other parts:
your media: with a clip selected in the Project panel, go to the Info panel and report the frame dimensions.
your export settings: go File>Export>Media and post a screengrab of the Export Settings dialog with the Video tab visible. [btw, a screengrab will be easier for us to read than a photo of your screen...]
Since your source is NTSC DV (720x480 pixels at 0.9091 pixel aspect ratio), you should ideally pick an output preset that matches. For example, h.264/NTSC DV. [If you tell us how you plan to distribute the video, we can give more directed advice on which format to use.]

Samsung monitor shows black bars on sides

I'm running OS 10.8.2 on a mid-2012 MacBook Pro, and I recently bought a Samsung Syncmaster SA300 (22 inch) monitor which I've connected using a VGA cable (DVI wasn't working, don't know why). I immediately noticed black bars on the sides of the screen, and the picture seems squished, despite the fact that I've chosen the proper resolution for the monitor. Funny thing is, when I boot into Windows 7, the bars disappear and the resolution looks perfect.

Hello MpegEVIL,
I would recommend taking a look at this article named Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573

Removing black bars down sides of clip?

Hello
I am editing a movie clip in Premier Elements 11. It's a 25fps file. I did not film the clip, but was told that it was a normal (not widescreen) PAL clip. The clip looks like this when I am editing it (screenshot).
What concerns me are those two thick black bars down both sides of the clip. What causes them, please? Is it that the clip was really widescreen and I am editing it in normal mode and how best to remove them as I imagine they will be visible when the final product is show on a DVD or TV.
Many thanks.
Steve

Black bars on TV when using MHL adaptor and google play movies

I have tried the Z2 tablet using a sony MHL IM750 adapter with different TVs and monitors and it is always the same the black bars are on the screen at the side of the mirror on the TV. Using my old galaxy nexus phone with the MHL adapter I do not get this problem it fills the screen fully.
Also if I try to mirror google play movies through the tablet with the MHL adapter I get an message that it is not secure and it does not allow it to happen. Yet when I do the same through miracast with my LG TV it works! seems a little odd but something to do with HDCP I guess. If I mirror google play movies through my nexus phone on a tv it works fine.
ILooking at a past post I believe that the lack of full screen mirroring was a problem with the tablet z that got rectified by a firmware update lets hope the same happen for the tablet z2.

I used google and found something in the sony z tablet forum.
I think its a problem with the solution and you have to change mhl settings but i cant find a way to change.
Here is the answer i found

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.In the update to Android 4.3 it's possible to adjust the video output size for MHL. From the notification bar you can select MHL settings and then video output size. If set to 100% i have no black bars when testing here.
Looks like a general problem with tablets that have a higher solution than 1080
Should be possible to change the output format to 1080
It would be nice, if i get an answer so i can understand whats the problem and if there will be a way to fix it.
Sorry for my bad english
