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,
Karen

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.

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 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.

Help, I just gave iTunes the assignment to update my iPhone5 to iOS7 and now it gives an unknown error (6). The iPhone is still hooked to my laptop, and shows the black screen and bright Apple with the horizontal bar, telling it's in the middle of something. What should I do?

DFU mode? How do I do that? So far the only thing I can do is hold down both buttons to power it on and nothing is on the screen and it wont reconize on my computer....

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.
Ciao.

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.

How do I make a horizontal bar stretch to always fill the width of the browser outside of the wrappe

When I enter 100% in the width field it will fill to the wrapper which is at 1000px, I want just certain Horizontal Bars to fill the width of the browser at all times.
Example is at http://www.hollywoodunderground.com - the bars below the header/links and the bar above the footer. Trying to figure out how to get both of those to always fill the width of the browser while still maintaining the original wrapper for all of the other content. Do I just find a way to get those 2 bars outside of the wrapper into a new wrapper or do I do it within the wrapper?

You would have to set up your construction a bit differently.
You would put the logo and the social media icons in their own <div> set to 1000px, margin 0 auto to horizontally center it
<div id="logoSocialMedia"></div>
Then you would have your black bar <div> set to width: 100% (no need to set this though as it will fill the available space).
<div class="blackBar"></div>
Then you would have your youtube videos <div> set to 1000px, margin 0 auto.
<div id="youTubeVideos"></div>
Then another black bar <div>:
<div class="blackBar"></div>
Get it?

Mac Mail and the Elusive Horizontal Bar / Separator Line

LIke so many people, I tried to devise the best way to insert a horizontal separator bar between messages in a multi-message thread. I refuse to insert a long string of dashes -- I want a solid black separator bar -- and I don't want to use a plugin either. So here's the best I can do at this point:
First, to set it up, open a blank Word document, type three dashes ("---"), hit the Return key (the dashes turn into a horizontal bar), copy the line above and below the resulting horizontal line (ie., to be sure you encapsulate the line within your selection), and then paste it into a new (empty) email.
If you do the same thing with the equal sign ("===") you end up with a DOUBLE line separator. You might as well copy that into your blank email too.
Then, simply save that new email in your DRAFT folder so you can easily access those lines quickly to copy/paste them in any other email.
This only seems to work when the horizontal line is black. You can change the line in Word to any color (using the Borders and Shading tab in the Format Pallette) but then when you paste it into a Mail, the line is invisible, so just use a black line.
Just fyi.

Simple solution--very simple
Open up MS word (or Pages alternative) and create a horizontal line by holding down the "shift" key and then holding down the "_" key to make the line as long as you want
Copy this line into your clipboard
Open Automator
Go to Automator | Services | Services Preferences | and click the "Text" button across the top
Type the two letters "ln" in the "Replace" column and the paste the _______________________________ you created and copied in the "With" Column
Every time you type the letters ln into your email, it gives you the option of replacing the letters ln with a line if you simply hit return
Hope that helps--I was Googling the solution--and came up with that....

Imac to TV with horizontal bar

I connected my Imac to my TV using the mini-dvi to video adapter and it worked, however I have a horizontal bar going up across my TV screen. How do I fix this problem?

You need a > Moshi Mini DP to HDMI Adapter with Audio Support - Apple Store (U.S.) to plug into the ThunderBolt port and an HDMI cable.

Horizontal bar with red for negative and green for positive?

I need to use CF9 to create horizontal bar chart where the intensity of the red (negative) is determined by the amount of negativity of the values and similarly the intensity of the green is based on the amount of positivity of the values.
See attached snapshot. Ignore the value label.
Can CF10 do this. I briefly looked but does not appear so.
Any advice? THANKS!!

Yes, with the new charting engine it is possible to do this with rules. Check out my example at http://www.cfuser.com/library/demos/index.cfm?do=charting&get=bcr. You have to set the threshholds and the colors. The colors are two part to allow for gradients. I have also just posted a write-up at http://www.cfuser.com/rules-preview-zoom-and-flash/

How do I get black side bars on a full screen photo in iPhoto 11

How do I get black side bars on a full screen photo in iPhoto 11. It was black in iPhoto 09 and now it's a murky grey. I'm not talking about events or photo view where it's in preferences only full screen photo. Thanks

Go into iPhoto's Appearance preference pane and move the Background slider all the way to the left - black.

Horizontal Bar Chart and Overlaying Line Chart

I am using SSRS 2008 and developing my reports in BIDS.
I have a report with two data points. I want to chart the first as a bar (horizontal) chart and then the second as an overlaying line chart.
I created both data series, originally, as a bar chart. I have clicked on the second series in the "Drop Data Fields Here" area and changed the chart to a line chart. When I do that, it changes both series to a line chart.
However, if I use the column (vertical) chart for the first series, it will let me make the second one a line chart.
Is this a limitation of SSRS 2008? Can I not have one data point be the horizontal bar chart and the second one a line chart?
If so, are there any suggestions how to get around this?
Thanks.

Both charts for SSRS 2005/2008 are very limited when it comes to horizontal charts and are infact supporting only left-to-right bar charts, with no ability to combine them with other charting types (lines, areas, points etc.). For a SSRS charting solution that supports all types of charting type combinations in left-to-right and right-to-left horizontal fashion you can use Nevron Chart for SSRS - www.nevron.com. Besides a huge number of charting types and subtypes (most of which are not available in the MS Chart for SSRS 2008) it also provides better image quality in 2D and 3D modes, more settings, has support for rich text formatting in texts, has image filters, ability to customize via C# code and implements many more large and small charting related details.
Best regards,
Crank

Horizontal Bar in the RSA3 is not showing up for Generic Datasource.

Hi There,
Created a Generic Extarctor based on a two tables PAYR and REGUH.
Included 60 fields in the Generic datasource. Everything is fine and when i check the data in extract checker
RSA3, the horizontal bar is not showing up and i could only see 15 fields. I couldn't able to see the rest of the fields.
Can someone suggest what should i do to see all the fields in RSA3? Why Horizontal bar is not showing up?
Out of 60 fields only very few are hidden and it should show atleast 40 fields, but not happening..
Thanks
Vandana

HI There,
Thanks for all your responses.
1 - Tried to change the layout by going into Menu Settings --> Layout ---> Current, but no option to change.
2 - If I check the value of a particular field in the magnifier, then I could able to see all the fields
3 - After executing the RSA3, tried to change to ALV Grid by going into LIST, but again no option available to change.
4 - Checked the RSA2, and to my surprise all the fields are ticked as Key. Is that something why i'm able to see all fields in
     the browser?
5 - But when the check the datasource in RSA6, only 3 were ticked as Key and those three fields i can see before
     extracting the data using extract checker RSA3.
6 - Why all fields are ticked and showing and Key in RSA2 ?
The above is the current status of this issue. Can anyone please suggest how i should go head?
Thanks
Vandana
