Black horizontal bars but proper footage ratio

I'm using an older version of Final Cut Pro (7) and whenever I render/play it adds black bars to the top and bottom. I'm using 1080 x 720 and all the footage is the right size, but it's still adding the bars. This need to look clean and polished in YouTube. What am I doing wrong?

1080 x 720
There is no such size.
You're in the wrong forum. Go to the Final Cut Studio forum.

  • There is a black horizontal bar right above the tabs

    there is a black horizontal bar right above the tabs since I installed the latest version of firefox.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == after the latest version was installed

    This issue can be caused by a plugin or an extension that is not compatible with Firefox 3.6 and isn't working properly anymore.
    A toolbar like the "ZoneAlarm Spy Blocker Plugin Stub for 32-bit Windows" and other toolbars like "Ask.com" or "My Web Search" can cause this issue.

  • Black horizontal bars in iMovie HD

    I'm using iMovie HD (iLife 06), and using it in a college-level multimedia
    class. I've used it before (in iLife 05) and did not have this problem.
    When I bring still pictures in, even sized at 720 x 480, they come in with
    black bars running horizontally, at the top and bottom. This can be worked
    around by setting the zoom at about 1.17, and the black bars are cropped
    out. But I don't understand why the black bars are appearing in the first
    place.
    And oddly enough, the bars also show up when video is imported directly from a DV camcorder. When I export to QuickTime format, the bars are still there. I've monkeyed with settings, and we are bringing in the video as DV. iMovie help explains this as happening because the video is a different size than the iMovie window -- except that it isn't, really.
    Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
    We are using Canon ZR90 camcorders. I will be trying it with an older Canon
    ZR sometime this weekend. But it shouldn't be a camera-specific problem, as
    it is happening with stills and the stills have originated from a wide
    variety of still cameras.
    Thank you,

    Not sure... never ran across this before.
    What do you see from the deck to a broadcast monitor?
    How does it look when you've captured it?
    Maybe switch out FW cables?????? Oh - is it going IN via FW or into a card?
    Any chance you can hook up a cheap fw camera or any other deck to trouble shoot some of these issues?
    Might also want to delete your preferences... google for FCPRescue5 or FCPRescue6 depending on which v you are using.

    I've had my iPhone 3G for a couple of years and when out of contract i asked O2 to unlock it, which they did. I've used a Three sim card and it works okay. I've now decided to sell it but before I send it to the buyer i want to factory reset the phone. Will it remain available to use on any network once i've reset it, because i've advertised it as an unlocked phone?
    If it was officially unlocked by O2 it will remain unlocked if reset or updated.
    Also, just as a side note if you can help. Its running iOS 3.1.3. Once factory reset and connected to iTunes will it force an iOS 4 update or can you choose not to update the OS?
    If you restore it in iTunes it will be updated to the current release, 4.3.1. There are ways around this; Google is your friend.

    My first step would be to get rid of "Norton protection". Boot from your OS 10.6 disc, navigate through your hard drivve and trash anything that is Norton. Empty the trash.
    Next, run Disk Utility and ask it to repair the hard drive.

  • Black horizontal lines on start up and doesn't load GUI

    So here it goes
    My Late '11 15inch Macbook Pro went bonanas today. When it starts up there all these black horizontal lines running across the screen jiggering jabbering everywhere and I see three apple logos (due to GPU glitch I am guessing) after loading everything goes white and my laptop heats up and battery dies within like half an hour. I was bummed but then like after restarting a bunch of times and recharging my laptop it starting up normal again! I was super happy, but then it experienced the same crash next time the battery died. So, this has been going on and off; I don't know whats going on but it seems fixable I just want to know how.

    Probably by replacing the logic board.  I suggest that you take the MBP to an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation .  Then you will be in a position to make an informed decision.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 Leaves a black horizontal line while copying

    HP Officejet Pro 8500  Leaves a black horizontal line while copying . It can print fine, but whenever we make copies (black, or color) we get a straight horizontal line running across the page. I'ts a perfect line, no streaks, nothing i do can fix it, any ideas?

    Are you putting the copies through the auto feeder?   If so, you might want to clean the roller and the glass that it would roller over.  I also clean the white bar that is on the bottom of the cover.
    I have the same issue but it is white line when I am scanning.

  • How do I create a vertical side menu with its own styling separate from the horizontal bar above it?

    Hello.  I need assistance in styling my side menu.  I would like for it to  have a different style than the horizontal bar that is above it.  I would like that the side menu have a black background and with white text vertically aligned to the left.  But I would also like that the mouse's arrow to turn into a hand when it touches the letters instead of during the entire width of the background.  When I began styling the text, everything aligned fine until I added the links in html code.  When I added the <a> tag and created a link to another page, the text goes from the left to the center of the black box.  And the entire width is a link rather than just the words.  To correct this, I tried renaming the div tag containg the menu.  I tried renaming the ul tag.  And I tried renaming the li tag and changing the declarations.  None of these ideas worked.  I thought about changing the <a> tag in the head of the document, but that didn't change the styling either.  I also tried creating the black background by inserting a black box as a background image with the links over top of the image.  It didn't work.  I would appreciate your assistance.   I will supply the coding if anyone is interested in looking at it.  Thank you.
    Nora.

    I can post a link to the page.  But I will need to upload it.  It will take a day to show.  But after I wrote to you.  I began working with creating additional a:link styles.  I was able to create a shortened clickable area of one the words in the vertical menu.  Your advice reinforced what I have learned.  The following code shows that I started to make different styles of the a:link for each word on the vertical menu.  I think that this will work.  To indicate the different a:link style I used bold letters .  Thank you very much.

  • Changing monitor resolution with proper aspect ratio

    My project size is 800x600 and I wanted to provide an option to the user to change their monitor resolution at 800x600 by clicking on button. I have also planned to do it by using buddy api xtra, and already tested it. The problem is, when I am doing this on a PC with panoramic monitor (native resolution 1920x1080), it got stretched. I know it's very natural (as the aspect ratio has changed ) and I can get it in shape by squeeze the width using 'draw.rect'.
    I noticed, there are some PCs with advanced display card that don't even get stretched, but shows the 800x600 resolution in proper aspect ratio by keeping the extra space black both sides. And I don't need to write any further codes (squeeze the width using 'draw.rect') to keep it in shape.
    The real problem starts here, I can't able to filter the above situations by any logical means. I wanted to write codes only for the PCs that get stretched, but I didn't able to find any support from Director to determine which type of display card has been attached. I need to know whether it will get stretched, or the display card can able to manage the aspect ratio.
    Any one have any solution in this matter?
    Please don't hesitate to ask if you need any more info.

    You don't need an xtra to change the resolutions - but you do have to work a few things - I tend to use flash text because it scales better.

  • Horizontal bars with SD movies

    So...I'm a new ATV (2nd gen) user. We recently moved and I'm just not a 100% sure that everything is setup the way it's supposed to be...
    When I rent movies on my ATV, I often have a bar at the top and bottom when viewing the movie on my HDTV (Samsung LN40A550). For example, I rented Friday Night Lights (the movie) last night, and I had the horizontal bars. I only rent SD content on the ATV since my connection is not very fast.
    I realize that most movies have a higher aspect ratio and that sometimes bars on the top and bottom are common, but I wanted to make sure that THIS was the reason and not some incorrect setting on my TV...especially, since I'm watching everything in SD.
    When I rent Desperate Housewives, the whole screen is filled up.
    Since I'm new to renting iTunes movies, I'm just not sure what to expect. And we don't have our TV hooked up to a cable service so I can't tell what other content looks like on our TV (we live out of the country and the cable options leave much to be desired).
    Thanks so much.

    it's correct.
    there are various different widescreen aspect ratios, and depending on which one the movie is in will depend how much of the screen is filled.

  • Horizontal bars through entire frame

    I've been experiencing this problem more and more. I shoot and edit DV and DVCam (PD150 & DSR20). Sometimes, when I playback the tapes in the deck I get large horizontal bars through the frame (see still sample here) http://www.video11.com/badvideo.jpg
    I've tried cleaning the head, and sometimes that seems to work, but the problem comes back pretty soon. I troubleshoot with other tapes (from other cameras) and have the same problem. So, it's not the tape or the camera.
    Any suggestions?

  • Grey horizontal bars in capture window

    I'm trying to capture into Premiere 5.5 with a Sony DSR-11 DVCam Deck. In the log and capture window, I'm able to control my DV deck just fine, but the footage plays with horizontal grey bars across it. Beyond rebooting and trying unplugging and replugging, and running the cleaning tape, I'm not sure where to start. I also double checked all the sequence settings, etc, and they're all set up for DV NTSC.
    For background, I'm running Windows 7 Pro, SP1, 64 bit. My processor is an Intel Core 2 6300 @ 1.86 GHz. I have 8 GB of RAM. My graphics card is a NVIDIA Quadro NVS 440.
    Any ideas?

  • How to obtain proper aspect ratios for sequences in Premiere Pro?

    I'm posting it here, because I use AE SDK for the effect.
    I've got a RED sequence in Premiere that is 2048x1152. The footage is 2816x2304 anamorphic 2:1. The sequence preview is 1920x1080, like any Premiere preset over HD. I can't seem to get the proper size and aspect ratio to resize the UI controls and position the effect.
    Normally I'd use this:
    scale_x *= (PF_FpShort) in_data->pixel_aspect_ratio.den / (PF_FpShort) in_data->pixel_aspect_ratio.num;
    scale_x *= (PF_FpShort) in_data->downsample_x.num / (PF_FpShort) in_data->downsample_x.den;
    scale_y *= (PF_FpShort) in_data->downsample_y.num / (PF_FpShort) in_data->downsample_y.den;
    But in this case it doesn't seem to work. Also standard procedures for UI resizing from SDK examples fail.
    How can I obtain the proper aspect ratio and sizes?
    Thanks in advance.

    Premiere Pro is not well designed for this type of collaborative work flow.  That's not to say something can't be made to work, just that it may not be as seamless as you'd like.
    For starters, there's no way to really 'merge' the changes made by two different people working on the same project, so one of the primary rules you'll have to implement is that only one person at a time can work on any given project, and you'll have to be in constant communication as to who is working on which project, with person A leaving it alone until person B gives the go-ahead.  At which point B will have to leave it alone until A gives the go-ahead.  If you don't do this, your changes will overwrite each other and you'll get nowhere.
    Second thing to be aware of is that clip markers are stored with the media, so while sending only the project file back and forth is fine for most things, it won't work with clip markers.  You'll also need to transfer whatever media files have the markers.  Given the relatively large size of media compared to project files, it may be best to simply forgo using clip makers.
    If the hard drive setup is not identical on both machines, you may have to relink the media with every swap of project files.
