Black Border Placed Around Videos

I upgraded from version 8 of Adobe Premiere Elements 64bit to 10. Using defaults AVI DVNTSC videos played back in GOM or Windows Media Player have a border (frame) about 20% of the image dimension. The characteristics of old and new are the same 720 by 480 NTSC, 29.97 fps YUY2(RAW).  Suggestions would be appreciated.

The second DVD contains additional Functional Content, such as additonal Menus, Themes/Instant Movies and more Title Templates.
For MJPEG material, see this ARTICLE. As many camera mfgrs. tweak their CODEC's, and especially the MJPEG CODEC, I would first look to the utility disc, that comes with your camera. There should be the specific version of the MJPEG CODEC used, though it might only be installed with a camera driver, or with editing/cataloging software.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Super thin black border showing around video when I zoom out or pan the video...

    Hi all,
    I have a video I'm making in Adobe Premier Pro CS5.5. I am using 2 video slots in Premiere Pro's sequence area. A white image is in "Video 1" spot and a video is in"Video 2" spot.
    The white image in "Video 1" slot is the exact same color as the background color of the video in "Video 2" slot.
    The reason for this is when I zoom the video out or pan it slightly off the screen I just want it to look like the video is moving (and I don't want anyone to be able to see the black backdrop that is normal background color on a Premiere Pro video).
    After I go to effects control, and change the position and scale of the video; the video scales out and pans over fine ...however, the border of the video shows slightly ...even flickers a little. Is there a way to get rid of this thin black border line? ..So no one can tell where the video (in "video 2" slot) ends and where that white background I have in "video 1" is ...by removing this flickering border?
    Here's a Screencast of the issue. I point at that thin border I'm talking about when I pan the video over (which reveals the white backdrop):http: Screencast.com/t/45xp0bQ82f
    Thank you so much for any help you can provide. I appreciate it.

  • How do I remove the black border from around my videos?

    I have PE7 on my Dell laptop with Windows 7. I've been editing videos on it probably since January. I just never thought anything of the black border, but recently it's really been bugging me. I tried Googling some answers, but all I found was to switch your camera to 16:9 Widescreen. My JVC Everio GZ-MG555U was already set to that setting. I'm just frustrated & I want to get rid of this border. If anyone knows the answer to this problem, please let me know. I need help!

    makaylaamae
    Thanks for staying with the troubleshooting. I will stay with this as long as it takes to get the project to a successful conclusion. Let us work through this step by step.
    1. The readout that you give for your JVC video file is consistent with what those .mod widescreen files have been reading out as, that is,
    720 x 480 with a pixel aspect ratio of 0.9091 (standard 4:3) rather than 720 x 480 with a pixel aspect ratio of 1.2121 (widescreen 16:9).
    2. Premiere Elements 7. Start a new project with the project preset of NTSC DV Widescreen.
    3. With Get Media/Files and Folders import your video clip into the project and drag it to the Timeline.
    4. Go to Interpret Footage and, in the Interpret Footage dialog, dot the Conform to: and change the Pixel Aspect Ratio to
    D1/DV NTSC Widescreen 16:9 (1.2).
    5. Right click the Monitor, select Magnification, and make sure that that the setting is "Fit". Now look at the Edit Mode Monitor space. Is the area designated for the video display filled? No black borders? If so, continue. If not, you are going to scale the video to make the fill. It should not take much scaling for this if needed.
    a. Select your video on the Timeline
    b. Open Properties/Motion Panel to reveal Scale. Use the Scale slider to zoom in to fill the monitor space to the minimal degree to achieve that purpose, that is, getting rid of any unfilled space (black borders).
    6.Then export that Timeline to a NTSC DV AVI widescreen file, saving it to the computer desktop.
    Use Share/Computer/DV AVI with Presets: DV NTSC Widescreen
    Check out how your NTSC DV AVI widescreen plays back on Windows Media Player. Nevertheless, continue on....
    7. Go to the YouTube web site and upload your DV NTSC Widescreen there. And, let us know the results.
    We can talk about the upload of your Premiere Elements 7 Timeline with its mod widescreen to YouTube from within Premiere Elements 7 Share/Online/YouTube next if necessary. If you have any problems along the way, stop, let us know the details, and we will work out the problem before continuing with the next steps.
    Thanks.

  • Removing the black border from exported videos

    Ok, basically I'm trying to rip DVD footage and convert it to something playable on an iPod. Nothing too hard getting it ripped and converted and all, but the VOB files didn't break right on the episodes, and I also wanted to edit out the theme from the beginning of EACH episode in the interest of space.
    Overall it's working pretty well so far, I've been able to perform all that I needed to do, but when I export I get a wide black border around the video which looks fine now, but will take up a lot of valuable space when reduced to iPod resolution. I've found ways to change the color of the border in FinalCut, but no real way to remove it. Anyone have a way of dealing with this?

    Ok, figured out what to do.
    If you go to the canvas, hit the box for the borders, tell it to show the wire frame. Click and you can rotate, resize, etc.

  • Black border in exported video

    When I am in presentation mode I see picture in the correct ratio without border. But exported video with same configuration have black border. (Source images have small size then output video.) I need output video without border as in preview...

    it's a simple 2D operation. first you should find out how many pixels the "troubling" black border has, and then set a clip on it. the first idea with resizing is kind of complicated one, i admit:)
    1. find out the size of your image (width, height)
    2. get a clipping bounds (use Graphics.getClipBounds) and store it into Rectangle
    4. check if your image intersects correctly with the clip
    5. if yes, draw/store it with the new size
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        // paint the logo at location logoX, logoY 
        Rectangle clip = g.getClipBounds();
        Rectangle logo = new Rectangle(logoX, logoY, logoWidth, logoHeight); 
        // if the logo is outside the clip, ignore it 
        if (clip.intersects(logo)) {
            g.drawImage(logoImage, logo.x, logo.y, null);
       // paint the rest
    }you could use BufferedImage.getSubimage(x, y, width, height) but that is an expensive operation. the next option is to use repaint(x, y, width, height)

  • 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.

  • DVD Player Black Border all aound widescreen image....???

    I have a new 17" powerbook running Tiger...and have been playing some DVDs...and the DVD player now puts a 1 1/2" black border all around the widescreen image. This is new to me and I've tried all of the obvious preference options...and switching between different screen sizes (command-0, command-1 and command-2....) and no success.
    Has anyone else had this same problem? Any solutions?
    Thanks.

    This is not a problem, that's a specific configuration of some DVDs, it happens beucause some DVDs to fit in a 4:3 (fullscreen) TVs put the black borders on the top and botton. When you try to view these movies in a widescreen there will be black borders on the right and left because the format with the original top and botton border is 640 x480 (4:3).
    To fix that you just have to select the Otion "Video Zoom" from the Apple DVD Player menu "Window":
    There you can strech the movie the way you like to fill your widescreen.

  • Black border when exporting a site in Fireworks

    Strange problem with Adobe Fireworks CS3 when exporting to html - added a black border, edging around the site, ~ 3 mm.
    When viewed in Dreamweaver shows the following:
    Question: how to remove the border?

    It is just as I said, you need to set the margin and padding to 0   :-)
    In your code find:  (line 8)
    <style type="text/css">td img {display: block;}</style>
    and replace it with the following:
    <style type="text/css">
    body {margin: 0; padding: 0;}
    td img {display: block;}
    </style>
    Note:  It is never a good idea to export html code from a graphics program.  You should export individual slices and then build the site in Dreamweaver,.  At the moment, the whole webpage is make up of graphics - this is not the way to build a page, particularly if you want the pages found in Search Engines.
    Here is a good tutorial teaching how to take a Fireworks design into Dreamweaver:

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Easy way to put black border around cropped video.

    Hi
    I was wondering if anyone knows of an easy way to put a 2-3 pixel black border around a cropped, shrunk video clip.
    Its kind of a picture-in-picture deal, but the "simple border" filter doesn't take into account the cropped edges. I've also tried drop shadow, but I need it to be hard lines.
    Any suggestions (I'm looking for the easy way because I need to apply this effect to about 100 clips, otherwise I'd just put a black colour matte behind the image).
    Cheers
    Chris.

    Layer the Boris Vector Shape generator around your clip. It's a great tool.

  • Black border around video!

    I want to upload my video to youtube but it has a massive black border around it. Can someone explain step by step how to get rid of this please. I know it has something to do with the scale but i am relatively new using cs5 and have no idea! please help

    Welcome to the forum.
    Black borders are usually caused by a mis-match with the Source Footage and the Sequence, or with the Export settings.
    Can you please let us know the full details of your Source Footage, and your Sequence Frame Size, and also your Ecport settings?
    Good luck, and thank you for that info.

  • Remove Black Border Around Embedded Flash Video

    Hi-
    I have searched on the Web without luck, so again I have to
    turn tot he forum for help. I believe this should be simple and
    straightforward, but doesn't appear so. I have a simple little
    Flash video embedded in a plain old web page created with DW8. When
    the page is displayed in my web browser it has a thin black border
    around the video. I would like to remove this border (such as one
    might with image border=0). I have tried several "fixes" ranging
    from setting the BODY margin height to 0 to altering my external
    style sheet. None of these worked. I even created a fresh web page
    with no external style sheet at all and the border is still there.
    How on earth do I get rid of that ugly thing? Any help is greatly
    appreciated.

    can we see this border? URL?

  • Why is Premiere Elements putting a black border around my video?

    I am getting by OK with editing my videos in Premiere Elements 3.0 (I know, the shame). However, when I have finished editing, I need to output to a specified frame size to fit a video screen on my web site. All videos that have been edited for me by third parties have been sized at 640x360 pixels. When I use this frame size to render/output my videos, I have a wide black border outside the actual video. The flv file that is being created seems to have had a border added around the actual movie. Here is an example: http://www.incisor.tv/Incisortvarchive.ph p?mid=109
    This doesn't happen when I output to a Quicktime, the video fills the frame as it should.
    What am I doing wrong, please?

    Hi guys,
    Thanks for your responses. I am recording in SD, 16x9 using a Sony HVR-A1P camera. Up until now I have never tried to output to a specific frame size, as I've just been doing general stuff for my own personal use. However, on my web site, I have many, many movies which I have produced (and in some cases filmed), but which have all been edited for me by people that know what they are doing, and mostly in Final Cut. These have all been output to fit the specific video frame size that has been used on my web site, and that is a 640x360. There has never been an issue with black borders.
    This movie (again, it's on my home page at www.incisor.tv) was the first time I have done everything myself. The Quicktime version is sized perfectly to the frame on my site, with no border, but the quality is very poor. Premiere Elements seems to be compressing too much, resulting in a poor quality file. Can I side-step the presets to create a less compressed, better quality (if bigger) file? If I can produce a better qualty QT file, this could be one solution to my problem, as many of the movies on my site are QTs.
    The Flash file that I have created is great quality and streams beautifully, but has this border issue. Because I have never been worrying about outputing to specific frame sizes previously, I have never gotten into matching source footage with the project's preset. I've just been happy with the movies I have output. Now I have to output to a specific size, where are the parametres set? If I do a 'check properties' inside Premiere on the avi file that has come out of the camera, the image size is apparently 720x576, which is strange, because that is 4:3 rather than 16:9, which is how the movie was filmed.
    This is probably quite easy to resolve, and I'll spend some more time looking at it now, but if anybody can help me short cut the process, that would be great.
    Thanks, Vince

  • Youtube video has black border around it

    I impoted a short clip from my camera (640x480 4:3 ratio) into the organizer, then from there opened a premiere elements project and shared the video to Youtube.  The video in premiere element looks fine, it has black stripes on the left and right sides which I think is normal given the source resolution/ratio.  The final video on Youtube, however, has a larger black border around the entire video, including black space at the top and bottom. Why is this, how can I get rid of this extra border?

    This usually indicates a mismatch between your source video and your project settings.
    Which camcorder model did your video come from and how did you get it into your computer?
    When you started your Premiere Elements project, which project settings did you select?
    My free Basic Training tutorials on Premiere Elements support site Muvipix.com will show you how to set up a project properly.
