Black border on items

Hi everyone,
I just got a question about the Mac that I'm using, why there is a black border on items that I've selected, how can I remove/disable it?
In my browser the close button is surrounded by the black border.
In dialog box the buttons like YES OR NO are surrounded by black border.
In other part of a window that I'm currently working with black border still surrounding it.
I cant take a screen shots for it, because screen shots doesn't got them.
thanks.

Black Border Around Footage

Hello,
I have a problem when I import footage into Final Cut. If it is from my camera in SD at 16:9 I get a black border around the footage. It looks like the footage is scaled down a bit but when I open it, it isn't. When I capture it, it looks normal and I can work with it in iMovie but as soon as it is in the timeline of FC it gets the rectangle around it.
Please help, I need to fix the footage +by tomorrow+.
-thanks

Please be specific. What camera is this? What format are you shooting? What are the item proprieties for the clips? What are the item properties for the sequence? Do they match?

Black Border on Canvas

I'm sure this is something real simple, but I have a black border on the top and bottom of my canvas (Final Cut Pro 7) but not in the Viewer. It must be some simple setting I'm missing - any thoughts on how to correct it?
Much appreciated.

"I checked the Item Properties and viewed the clip settings with V1 on the sequence and everything seems to match."
This is incorrect. What are the item properties of the sequence not of the clip on V1. Select the sequence in the browser and go to item properties. Please provide exact and complete information of what it says.
The gray bar simply means the canvas window is not sized to match the aspect ratio of the image. It doesn't mean anything. The black bars may indicate that the material is being letterboxed, but without seeing your computer or getting complete information it's hard to tell. Maybe you can post screenshots of the item properties of the clips and of the sequence.

Window Pictures with black border, photoshop

Since I upgrade to Leopard I have notice that when taking a picture of a window with the keyboard shortcut:
command + shift + 4 + control(so it will go to the clipboard) + space(so cursor will turn into a camera that only shoots the window selected)
and pasting the captured image in Photoshop, a thick black border appears around the window.
I think it is because shadows on Leopard. The strange thing is that when pasting the image in Preview, there is no black border. Also taking pictures width Grab works fine.
As a web designer I'm taking screen pictures all the time and pasting them into Photoshop so I can measure how widths are going in my designs.
Do you have any idea to fix this?
Thanks

Mark,
Text box comes up, highlighted, as usual.
Are you using the Type Tool or the Area Type Tool (the former is the basic tool just showing an I-beam, the latter is the one for typing inside a path which may show up as a box) or which?
For general failure, you may try the list, if no clear suggestion appears.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

How can I print with black border around edge of image?

I'd like to add a black border around the edge of certain images I'm printing. I know it's fairly trivial in Lightroom, but I can't see where this option is in Aperture. Is this lacking in Aperture, or am I just missing it? Many thanks.
PS -- I'm aware there are some plug-ins that claim to do this, so if Aperture can't do this, please feel free to chime in with comments on the best plug-in for this task.

Aperture BorderFX 1.1
Thanks, Rich. That's a good plug-in, and does cover what I need (with lots of other features, too). The problem, though, is it requires an export of the image, which I then have to either print from another application, or reimport to Aperture to print. I was hoping to find something that will either just apply the border to the print job, or that would serve as more of an Edit With . . . type of plug-in than an Export plug-in, so I can keep everything in one place. Thanks again.

How to get rid of the black border around the artboard

Hopefully my last question for tonight.
I need to get rid of the black border around the artboard. The two images show my drawing lined up with the art board and then inside the artboard. The dark gray is not the artboard.
As you see, the artboard has a black border. I need to get rid of it. It shows up in my project when my color key is green. The black won't go to transparent.
So how-to get rid of the border? Thanks
***Update***
I figured it out. View > Hide Artboards. Maybe this will help someone. Doesn't change the fact my spider looks like a tick:)

How can I add a black border at the bottom of a photo?

Just curious: Why whould you want to add navigation Rules at run time. I believe the navigation rules should be set to begin with - "by s/w Architect Design".
Else you can always use Redirect / Forward.

How do I remove a black border from my 4:3 ratio movie, which only uses 4:3 ratio images?

Hello,
I'm using Adobe Premiere Elements 9. I have an audio file from a teleconference call and I am using images exported from a 4:3 PowerPoint presentation to create a video of the presentation. The image files are .tiff files, 960x720. This is the only type of file I am using to create this video.
I really need to get rid of the large black border which appears on ALL sides (left, right, as well as top and bottom) whenever I export. Exporting as flv, mpg or avi has no change. I also tried .png images, no change. Any ideas??
Thanks!

My guess is that the 1280 x 720 was the last Project Preset used, and was still there, when you chose New Project.
As for your output, will you be outputting an SD (Standard Def), or HD (High-Def) file for uploading?
Do you ONLY have the TIFF Still Images, or are you mixing in any Video?
The Frame Size difference, between the 960 x 720, and the 1280 x 720 will cause black borders. The two choices are to use the 1280 x 720 Project, and then use Motion>Scale to increase the Scale of your TIFF's. Note that the Aspect Ratio of those TIFF's does not match the 1280 x 720, so to get rid of ALL black borders, you will Scale up the TIFF, and effectively crop your TIFF's. If there is no margin on your TIFF's, that can be a problem.
As PrE only supports standard Video Frame Sizes, there will not be one that matches the 960 x 720.
Good luck,
Hunt

Thin Black Border on Video in Interactive PDF (Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional)

Hi
I am having issues with embedded video in an interactive pdf (currently using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional).
I have placed my media mp4 file in the pdf. I would like the video to have no border, so I proceeded to Multimedia Properties to edit the Appearance and set the Border Type to Invisible Rectangle. I also editted the Playback settings for the Rendition to keep the player open "Forever once activated." But every time I view pages in my interactive pdf with video there is still a thin black border surrounding the videos on initial play. If I have already viewed the video and come back to the page, the border dissapears.
Is there a way to ensure the thin black border/outline never appears in the pdf, even when first opening and viewing the file? Does this have to do with the Acrobat 8 in particular? Please let me know if you are also encountering this problem or have a solution.

Thank you so much for your help.
I am now working in Adobe Acrobat X Pro and have embedded the same video. The borders have disappeared.
I have set the video activation settings to enable when "The page containing the content is opened". When the page is opened, I am now seeing a grey box (the size of the video) flash before the video is played. Do you know of a way to not have the grey box appear before the video plays? Or is there even a way to edit the color of this box so it is a less noticeable transition in my documet? I assume this is some sort of default setting to be displayed when the video loads. Any suggestions regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated.

R9 270x ITX . Black border with hdmi

So I didnt see this posted nor can i find much info about it. When I use HDMI i have a black border and my image is not full screen. does not matter the resolution. Ive tried on both a 24 inch and a 42 inch lcd. both do this. Ive tried a few different catalyst drivers and checked the catalyst control panel for an option that would fix this. Anyone else had this issue? does not happen with dvi or dvi to vga but does with hdmi and dvi to hdmi. any suggestions would be helpful

It's simply scaling issue known from Radeons that can be fixed in Catalyst control center. I had the same with my R9 290X Lightning.

Sequence frame size/black border

I created several sequences in Final Cut Pro 4, which all seem to have the same settings, but some of them have a black border around the picture and a smaller picture size. When I export a Quick Time Movie of the sequence, the boarder still exists in iDVD.
How do I make the picture fill the entire frame?
My footage was filmed on Mini DV.
My clip and sequence settings are: 29.97 fps (video rate), 720x480 (frame size), DV/DVC Pro (compressor), NTSC - CCIR 601 (pixel aspect) 48.00 KHz (audio rate)
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hey Cala
As you say, when you set your sequence as JPEG accidently, and keeping the aspect ratio and everything as you say, it shouldn't have to reduce your frame size of your media.
Have you tried to make a new sequence with the preset settings for DV and put the referred clip on it? It should present it normally, filling all the frame.
Checking on your screenshot, it seems to present it as if it were capture it like Photo-JPEG Offline edit. It is the same way appears the clips when are captured with that setting on a DV preset sequence.
I don't know how much problem would be to recapturing that clip again, before put your sequence settings on the preset for DV, as the same for the Capture preset. Then, it must work all fine.
About the configuration between Panther 3.9, QT 6.5 and FCP 4.5, in my case never have appeared some situation like this one. Even on Tiger-QT7-FCP 5.
This is so odd. I can only think on recapturing checking all the presets pointing in DV/DVCPRO NTSC. Hope it works! (It ought to be)
Best regards!

16:9, Black border all the way around the video.

Using a Canon GL2 video camera I shot a short video in anamorphic 16:9. I then imported it into FCP, in the same format. Exported it and brought it into DVDSP in 16:9.
Everything looked great on my 4:3 TV. It looked like it letterboxed just fine and would project on an HD TV just fine. However, once it opened up on screen it only covered about 95% of the screen. There was a black border all the way around the video.
Anyone have an explanation for this. Better yet, a solution to correct this problem.
Thanks
Kyle

If you had got the settings wrong I would expect there to be large borders down the sides, as if you were watching a 4:3 channel on a 16:9 TV that is not set to zoom the image. I don't think you would describe that as 95%.
When you say open up on screen, do you mean on a computer, or on a projection screen? In either case you see the whole image, including the stuff beyond action safe, which you probably wouldn't see on a 4:3 TV or a 16:9 HDTV. Many cameras only fill 702 of the 720 pixels. If you look at the original DV file from the camera, does it fill the full width of the 720 wide image space, or does it have thin black broders?

How do I export video without a black border?

Hi everybody,
Hope there are a few altruistic users of Motion out there who can put me on the right track!
I have just bought Motion 5 - I have used Motion in the past and videos exported perfectly, with no issues, but now even if I create a custom preset which is simply 1920 x 1080 and 25fps the resulting video has a thick black border and doesn't fill the screen - I'm trying to create backgrounds for titles and need the resotution to match HD video footage. At the moment i have a small area of vidieo in a black space.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks!
John

Sounds like you need to scale up the video you have. It's not a border. It's just the background; and your video isn't filling the frame.
Click in the viewer window and hit Shift-Z, to make sure you're seeing the whole canvas frame. Then it should be evident whether your video is filling the frame or not.

How can I automatically crop a photo based on its content (a black border)?

I scanned hundred of negatives.
The scanner produced .jpg files. Most of the scanned images show the negatives holder to one side as a black border. The black border is thicker or thinner depending on the photo.
Please see pictures attached.
Is there a way to automate the detection of such a border and remove it by cropping the photo? Ideally I would like the processing to only remove the thickness that is required to keep the photo unaltered as much as possible.
I have Photoshop 12 and I know about Actions. I just don't know how to tell the engine to only crop if it is required, and by how much.
This could save me days of manual work. Thankyou.

Thank you miss marple for your Image>Canvas Size... suggestion. I used it to implement a semi automated process.
I programmed a couple of actions:
- one to trim all sides by 7 pixels
- one to trim the top side by 7 pixles
Then I assigned a shortcut key to each action.
Since I have to open each photo individually anyway to remove larger scratches (see my other post), it is easy to hit a couple of keyboard keys to trigger the relevant 'border removal' action.
The main thing is that in 95% of cases I don't have to use the mouse to fix the borders, but I use keyboard keys only. It is a real time saver.
