Black edge---image size

I'm shooting with panasonic dvx-100, in letterbox mode, and importing into FCP.
In both viewer and canvas, the clips reveal a slight black edge on the right side of screen. If I reposition the image right, than the edge appears on the left.
In other words, the image left-to-right is simply too small.
Any way to get image to cover whole screen without blowing it up?
Is there a sequence setting, e.g., or some other inital setting that will provide a complete full frame?
Thanks.

tenorocity...
I've used the DVX-100 before, although not in letterbox mode. I'm wondering if there's setting you might have accidently changed in the motion tab of your clip in FCP. Might be worth it to load the clip into the viewer, click the motion tab, and click the red X for the distort, crop, and basic motion choices (just resets them...if a parameter has been changed). Also, in the canvas, see if you're viewing the clip in square pixels or not. That also changes how the clip looks (with the black on the edges).
Hope you figure it out.

  • Transparent edge bug in image size reduction using bicubic

    I'm using Photoshop CS6 (64-bit) and ACR 7.1, all patched to the latest version today (13 June), and running Windows 7 64-bit. When I reduce the image size of an originally smart object using bicubic, the edges will be somewhat transparent, creating an ugly border around the image.
    Step 1: Open a raw file. ACR 7.1 will pop up. The raw file is a CR2 file produced by Canon EOS 7D. Workflow option: sRGB, 16 bit, 3888x2592.
    Step 2: Press shift+click the Open button to open it as smart object.
    Step 3. Right click the layer and choose rasterize layer. When you zoom the image, there is nothing wrong in the edges.
    Step 4: Resize the image (CTRL+ALT+I) for example to 300x200 using Bicubic resampling (bicubic auto, whatever).
    The edges (outermost 1 pixel) will be transparent! See attached image.
    This doesn't happen:
    * in photoshop cs5
    * if I use bilinear or other resampling
    * if I import the file from ACR to PS as a normal bitmap (not using shift+click)
    Anyone know what's going on here? My workflow involves opening files from Camera Raw as smart object, so if there is any workaround until the next patch I will be very glad.

    >> Are you sure?
    Yeah. I'm sorry, but why do you think I would write it if I didn't try it? I tried bilinear and nearest neighbor and they all work fine.
    And well considering the algorithms average neighboring pixels, with a naive implementation a transparent edge is expected i guess, but I expect photoshop cs6 to be just a little bit smarter than that.

  • Transparent border appears when I use Image Size to shrink an image (bug)

    In CS2 (9.0.2) and CS3 (10.0.1), whenever I shrink an image using Image Size, my layers get a slightly transparent edge. As a game developer, I make tiling textures a lot, and this generally ruins their tiling-ness.
    Try this:
    - create a 32x32 image, make it white
    - add a layer, fill it with black
    - shrink it to 16x16 or 20x20, using any of the Bicubic resampling methods
    - notice that the edge pixels of the black layer are slightly transparent. This is most noticeable in the corners of the image.
    Is there a better place for me to report this bug? I haven't found one.

    Haha, you mean it's a bug in the spec rather than a bug in the implementation? (Unless there is actually a reason someone would want it to work that way.)
    Yeah Bilinear and Nearest Neighbor both avoid the problem, but of course the image doesn't look as good.
    I work around it by duplicating all my layers before shrinking. The problem is obvious (in-game) with only one layer, but still subtle enough that it's usually invisible after duplicating. Annoying, but it works.

  • This is about the still image size changing from what I see on the computer monitor and what the burned DVD shows on the TV

    I have Prem.El 12 and have used PE4 for years.  I have a new PC that runs Win7Pro.  The still images on the computer monitor are within the "safe margins".  The still images after the movie has been burned to a disk are MUCH smaller on the TV screen.  Is this an issue of 16:9 vs 4:3 ratios?  My TV is 4:3.  Can I tell PE12 to make the movie a 4:3?

    retchemteach
    Although I have seen your post of today in my Inbox Email Notifications, that post has not yet appears in this thread. It will probably will sooner or later. But, to keep things moving along....this is a copy of what I am seeing as your message of today in my Indox Email Notifications
    Thank you for your patience in the time it is taking me to get back to you.
    I am still trying to buy some DVD-RW discs and will hopefully do that in a
    bit.  Meanwhile, I have more info for you and some simple (I hope)
    questions.  If you want to insert your answers, that would be fine.
    My camera (for stills and video) is set to the 4:3 ratio.  It is capable of
    being set to a 16:9 ratio if I wanted to do that.  I looked in its TOOLS
    menu and saw this info.
    My TV is definitely a 4:3 TV.  (I measured it with my tape measure and
    divided W/L to get 1.33)  The TV can show a 16:9 movie and just adds the
    black bars on the top and bottom.  Question: What will my old 4:3 movies
    look like on a 16:9 TV whenever we buy one of those?
    It seems to me that I want to set PE12 to the NTSC DV Standard you
    mentioned.
    I do NOT know how to “size your photos so that each has a 4:3 aspect”,
    unless you mean doing that in Photoshop Elements, which I know how to do
    (*see below)
    I had NOT considered that I would need to watch the preset for the
    ‘Publish+Share’ step; so that’s good to know (I copied and pasted your info
    for later use).
    BTW, years ago when I had difficulties with my XP computer working on PE4
    (had only 2 GB RAM), an Adobe tech told me to resize my photos * to have a
    720 pixel width (the height would be automatically adjusted) to lower the
    file size to something my computer could handle without crashing.  (That
    was back in the good ol’ days when Adobe support would actually talk with
    their customers and try to help them in the first month)
    My new computer has 16GB RAM.  Do you think I still need to reduce file
    size?  One does lose some sharpness in the resizing process…..however,
    these videos I’m making are travelogues and are for a fun way to view pics
    and videos of a trip…nothing Earth shattering….and just a hobby to keep me
    off the streets.
    I truly appreciate the time you take to help me (and others).  I was even
    tempted to try to install my old PE4 on my new computer just to be able to
    enjoy my hobby again.
    My reply to the above....
    1. If you camera is giving you 4:3 photos and your Premiere Elements 12/12.1 is running on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, then leave
    the photos as is unless you have a lot of photos and each has pixel dimensions sizes way over 1920 x 1080 pixels that are giving your computer resource issues. If you have to down size them because of computer resources, then copy the photos to a computer desktop folder and also create an empty folder on the computer desktop.
    a. Photoshop Elements Editor, File Menu/Process Multiple Files.
    Process Files form Folder
    Source - browse to and select the computer desktop folder with photos to be resized
    Destination - browse to and select the empty computer desktop folder
    Image Size
                 Check Mark Next To Resize Images
                (no check mark next to Constrain Proportions)
                Type in Width = 1000  (set units for pixels)
                Type in Height = 750 (set unites for pixels)
    File Size
               Check Mark Next to Convert Files To
               Set for JPEG High Quality
    The above should work fine for a NTSC DV Standard project with a burn to DVD disc with preset NTSC_Dolby DVD (4:3 video).
    2. With regard to the TV Set and 16:9 video....when you have the DVD-player attached to the TV, do you have the opportunity to bring up a display of menus with
    controls for Picture and Aspect Ratio? From what you have written so far, it looks like the answer is no. I am not sure how your TV DVD
    player will handle 16:9.
    Best do a mini test run
    1. Project preset set manually to NTSC DV Widescreen (please refer to post 1 link)
    A few photos sized for 1600 x 1200
    In the Premiere Elements project, use the Safety Margins inner rectangle for text placement
    Publish+Share/Disc/DVD disc with preset = NTSC_Widescreen_Dolby DVD.
    See what that looks like on your TV DVD player.
    If you discovered that your current TV DVD player can be set for a 16:9 display, then I have a preferred workflow for
    NTSC DV Widescreen which typically gives best possible results. Hints of things to come.
    Please review and consider. Thanks for the follow ups.

  • Image size limits in Apeture?

    Is there a limit to image size in Aperture? There's no mention of any in the Aperture manual that I can see.
    I've created a number of panaoramas (upto 27382 x 2000) in Photoshop CS3 but they get corrupted after importing into Aperture. I just get a blacked out preview or a red box containing the message "unsupported image format" despite being PSD files. They won't import into iPhoto either.
    Screenshot here:
    http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w314/Marsdy/Aperture.jpg
    The files appear perfectly in Adobe Bridge.
    TIA.

    No image size limit is known.
    By the look of things, you have a 54Mb file size. I have a significant number of 250+Mb scans in Aperture and it handles them ..... with an occasional "unsupported image" if I go back and forth selecting different images a number of times. It even allows me to compare 2 x images ..... over 500Mb of image data. I also have numerous 90-120Mb PSD's as well.
    However, when I get the "unsupported image" which I know is untrue as they are all TIFF's, I cannot get Aperture to re-render correctly without quitting and relaunching. It suggests Aperture when processing drops a thread and decides an image is unsupported and marks for the session as such.
    It could be that you are running in a slower environment or from a slower hdd, which seemed to make my symptoms more frequent.

  • Why do I see in the preview panel black edge on sides of imported jpegs into premiere CS5

    We sized a jpeg in photoshop to 720 x 524 to import into premiere project frame size 720 x 480.  Proportions all look good, but there is a black edge on each side of the jpeg in the preview panel.  Will this show up when viewed on a tv screen once we create the dvd?  On my preview tv screen, it looks like it will not show up, but I do not want to do this whole project that includes 50 jpegs and then have a problem?  any good answers or things I should change.
    Thank you

    > I would have thought 540 myself to get a square pixel equivalent of 4:3 aspect ratio using 720 horizontal lines.
    720x540 was the square-pixel equivalent before the correction that considers the difference between clean aperture and production aperture. In CS4 and later, it's 720x534.
    There's a table of the square-pixel equivalents here. There are also presets in Photoshop that match this.

  • Black edge around canvas footage

    A friend of mine has been editing together his showreel on my system. when i came home he asked me why the footage in the canvas viewer was surrounded by a black edge...and I had to tell him: i don't know...
    my first inclination was to check all the settings, both for the clips and the sequences, and they were all correct and matching each other.
    what i noticed then was that if i put "show image+wireframe" in the canvas, i saw that each piece of footage was completely square, not slightly rectangular as I thought they should be...
    the files need constant rendering, sometimes it doesnt want to render as if the files have been corrupted or something, but the play properly.
    I am not sure where the files are from or what codec, etc, as my friend didn't know. all he knew whas that they were off a digibeta tape he had gotten from a respectable post-prod place.
    I also know that two of the 'films' where originally on dv and the third one on HD.
    I cannot make sense of this, anyone elese can?
    -j-

    EDIT My turn to be too slow... sorry Andy. END EDIT
    Right click on one of his clips in the browser and go to Item Properties > Format.
    Get out a note book and write down all the information you see (or do a screen grab or print screen – just make sure you have the information available to you.)
    Now click in his time line and hit Command-Zero. Change the setting in the General tab to match the settings of the clips that you wrote down.
    This might take a little trial and error especially if you aren't familiar with some of the terms, but you will get there.
    When you do, render problems should disappear and the black edges should disappear.
    Let us know.

  • Premiere Pro CS4: Output Issue - codec and image size

    I am having an issue when outputing a video file from Prem Pro to Media Encoder.  The dimensions of the input video are the usual 720x576.  The output I need is 390x390 to match my project.  By choosing the Sorenson 3 video codec I am able to adjust the size from 720x576 to 390x390.  However, it also applies black bars to the top and bottom of the image.  I don't want this.  If I choose the DV PAL video codec the black bars are removed in the output but I do not have control over the image size.
    In Prem Pro 1.5 the media encoder allowed for this and I was able to create a cropped video image (390x390) without black bars.  By selecting the zoom option the image was fitted into the window size.  There is no zoom option in CS4 in Media Encoder.  This is very frustrating!
    Any help would be appreciated...
    Thanks, Neil

    This is odd indeed, and I cannot recall having read of such. The tips were just the general things that one normally checks out, when there are audio issues, so nothing specific to this behavior.
    Now, as a test, you might want to try ASIO4ALL, linked in the article above. Usually, it will get audio, where the Realtek, or Creative driver will not. Again, this is as a test, just to see if by-passing the Realtek driver will help. Do not forget to set the Audio Hardware ASIO to ASIO4ALL in Input and Output. Then test. If it has zero affect, then just uninstall it, and change the setting back.
    Good luck, and wish I had more to help,
    Hunt
    PS - other than mechanical/electrical things like the audio chip heating up and a connection failing, I just cannot think of something that would cause this behavior. Maybe download and run SpeedFan, a great little free utility, and monitor the temps for all components with sensors.

  • Image size for 4:3 format appears somewhat zoomed in when viewed on my TV

    I am using Final Cut Express HD to create movies and have just started using iDVD '08 to create dvds, and have run across something bothersome in iDVD:
    When I view the iDVD movies on my TV that were created in a 4:3 format (640x480 resolution) in Final Cut, the image appears somewhat zoomed in versus what I see on my computer. This is causing problems with the composition of the image as it appears on the TV screen that do not appear when viewing the movie on my computer. Here's how:
    When viewd on the TV:
    1) the TV image's edge is zoomed in about 5-10% on all four sides relative the image edge as viewed on the computer screen
    2) when the scale of an image is reduced over time from 100% to something less (e.g. 50%) based on motion/scale keypoints in the clip's motion tab), the image detail starts zooming out but with the image size still filling the TV screen, then somewhat afterwards, the image size on the TV grows smaller as zooming out progresses.
    Overall this disparity between computer screen image size and TV screen image size is causing two miscues with how the movie shows:
    a) the composition of the picture is altered because it defaults to being somewhat zoomed in relative to the image I see when creating the movie on my computer, with whatever image I have on the true edge (per the computer screen composition) not appearing on the TV screen and
    b) the timing of changes in image SIZE relative to audio or other video cues is thrown off in a way that seems difficult to predict when designing the motion effects in Final Cut.
    Any advice on how to fix this?

    Hello phdtobe,
    what you're experiencing is overscan - a normal phenomenon with CRT monitors - and has nothing to do with neither FCE nor iDVD.
    Try using the "Action Safe" setting in FCE's Viewer to see the "crop area".
    hope this helps

  • What is the best image size format for imovie iOS

    I want to create a few black images with white letters as title slides and use them with some of my videos I am creating using imovie with my new ipad3.
    What is the best image size?
    thanks!
    Jeremy

    It all depends on what you want to do with the images.
    If you don't want to do any moves on the images then make them the exact size of the video.
    The iPad 3 edits in full HD, 1920 x 1080.
    If you want to do small moves, then make is larger.
    But keep the 1920 x 1080 dimensions otherwise iMovie just chops the image to that ratio.
    good luck

  • Image size after calibration and IMAQ Learn Calibration Template VI in Vision 2012

    Hi there
    I'm trying to setup a calibration for our fluoroscope camera. I got some pictures of a grid and try to implement a distortion model now.
    It works more or less fine. But there are still some problems and questions
    1. All my Images are 1000x1000 pixel. After correcting them with the calibration they change their size depending on the Method(937x928 at the moment).
    Thereby I lose some information, because some details at the border are cut off. Additionally I would have to increase the size of every image manually for the further processes. Does anyone know how i can implement that the corrected images are still 1000x1000 in size?
    2. At the moment I'm using the "IMAQ Learn Calibration Template VI" which I found in an older example. In vision 2012 this vi doesn't exist anymore? Why is this, and how could I implement it now, with using current vi's?
    Tried it with the "IMAQ Learn Camera Model" combined with the "IMAQ Calibration Target to Points - Circular Dots", a tresholding a
    nd "IMAQ Correction Learn Setup". But the result is much worse this way.
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    Stefan

    Thank you for your answer.
    I tried it with changing the border size(tried different values), but the results are still the same (still 937x928). Do I have to set the image size anywhere?
    What would be the best way to resize the image? Should I just copy it on a black 1000x1000 square?
    And do you have any suggestions how I can build the "IMAQ Learn Calibration Template" with 2012 vi's? I tried it with the code of my first post, but the results are totally different to this: Why this block doesn't exist anymore? Seems to be much easier for me

  • Image Size or Aspect Ratio?  Or??

    I am working on a Premiere CS5 movie project that requires some stills to be embedded within the video clips.  The Premiere sequence is set to 1920x1080 (1.0) using high def footage.
    The stills are all very large files, so I want to reduce them to something closer to the video size.  Using Image Size I set the width to 1920 then the height comes out greater than 1080 but that should be no problem.  When I play the movie in Premiere I can see that there is a noticeable difference in the size of the video image compared to the still image.  The still has black bars on each side.  I can zoom each still up to fill in the full frame, but that is not desirable.
    So I tried an experiment in Photoshop CS5.  Went to Open New and chose the film and video preset.  Then I drew a nice big circle in the middle of the canvas with two smaller circles in opposing corners.  Saved that as PSD with 1920x1080 square pixels.  When I added that image to the  video sequence it fit right in with the video images and there was no noticable size variation when the movie went from video to still to video.  The circles I drew remained round and appeared just as desired, so I presume I got the aspect ratio right.
    Then I opened another film and video preset and on this one I used the move tool to drag one of my still images over to the new canvas, saved with the correct attributes and added it to my sequence and it played perfect.
    Now for my question.  Is there a simpler process than what I described here to getting an image into the proper size and ratio to match my video settings?  Dragging each image onto a new canvas with video presets is a bit time consuming and I'm sure there must be a simple way to accomplish what I need.  I don't see a way to just apply the film and video preset attributes to an image that is already open in Photoshop.
    Any ideas??
    Thanks

    Yeah, I'm having trouble putting the problem into words.  You almost have to see it happening.  If I was smarter about this stuff it would be easier to explain.
    When I play the video clips in Premiere they look correct in the preview monitor.  When the movie gets to the stills that are inserted between video clips there is a noticable difference in how the image "fits" into the preview monitor.  It appears that the still image is not as wide as the video.  The project and videos are set to 1920x1080 (1.0) so it seems to me that if I set the image size of a still to 1920 then the still should fill the same width as the video did.
    Photoshop won't allow me the directly change the image size to exactly 1920x1080.  When I set the width to 1920 the height automaticlly goes to 1235.  And that image results in what I described above.
    But if I create a new canvas using film and video presets I can set it to 1920x1080.  Then if I use the move tool to drag my still image onto that new canvas I can save it with the exact same size as my videos.  And when I do that it plays perfect in the video sequence as you can't see any difference in the appearance of the size of the still image compared to the video when they play as a movie.
    So, what other method do I have available to get that same film and video present into a still image?  Is it possible that it is simply a problem with the slight difference in the image size I get when using Image Resize?   I haven't researched a way to unlink the H x W settings in that panel.  If that's possible then perhaps that will give me an easier way to do this.
    Did that make it any clearer??
    Thanks

  • Change Image Size in existing Video Project?

    First post, Premiere NOOB.  I have a Premiere Pro CS6 developed video that I had done for me for which I also got as part of the receivables all the component Premiere files so that, 1) I could make minor changes myself (I have CS6), and 2) if the developer was unavailable in the future (which is the case), I had everything needed to continue the project.
    The video includes a Star Wars style screen crawl.  It was originally developed to fit inside an existing PowerPoint presentation in the traditional, not widescreen, format.  Now I want to post this on YouTube.  I have made text changes to the crawl and such and it works fine, except the background image is still narrow and thus there is black space on either side of the video when rendered, which also then shows in YouTube.  The original background image in the file is plenty large enough to cover a full HD width.  Is there a way to just expand the background image to cover the entire widescreen without changing anything else?
    TIA,

  • Show cropped size while cropping, support detection of min. crop for a chosen image size.

    Now that Lightroom gets really stable and powerful, maybe we have a better chance to get some of the "smaller issues" resolved as well?
    One feature which would interest me would be indication of the cropped size while performing the cropping. Lightroom could also show always the percentage of lost or ignored pixels by the crop as a rough measure of resulting "image resolution."
    With posting in web in mind, I found on many occasions that I would like to have one more feature: I would like to set for the crop the
    "desired image size" as I chose for the posting, say 1200x800 pixels, and not allow the crop to select a smaller area.
    Now its up to "try and error" in such cases. Once the crop is off, Lightroom shows the cropped area if selected so, and so user can see if the crop still encompasses at least the desired image size.

    At Dan and others
    There is a very simple reason that has been stated several times. You are not editing photos, you are making references to images through a database - its all ones and zeros with colours and hues. It is at the export stage you tell lightroom what crop you want. There is no point telling lightroom to crop 800 by 600 in the develop module (though I do see the reason for the request).
    If you did specify 800 by 600, the crop would be a small proportion of a 4000 by 3000 pixel chip image ,so you would only get a tiny portion of the picture, then what?
    How do you get more of the picture in the crop dimensions?
    You scale it up by dragging the crop box having the constraints in the ratio of 800 by 600..... ( back to the original way LR uses....)
    Wanting emperical 800 by 600 or 1200 by 800 then scaling up is 2 step process where Adobe sussed that one in the beta by saying u"se aspect rations and then use the all (powerful but ugly) export dialog."
    Its has actually been thought out plenty more so "human factors mis-engineering that would make microsoft proud" kind of noise is probably incorrect.
    There are some clever and overworked people battling with Lightroom . Bibble 5 was promised 6 momths ago..... still waiting for their 88% improvement in speed.......... but LR2.3 is not there yet
