Black lines on flv/f4v export

AE CS4... I am not sure what is going on, I did not have this issue with CS3.
I am trying to export an flv or f4v (doesn't matter to me) for a web page. My optimal output would be 400x300 square pixel from DV footage. When I render out of AE I get black lines across the top and bottom.
I understand that flvs like 16x16 blocks so I changed my output to 400x288 but it still does it. Then I tried to crop the extra pixels and ended up with the same thing.
What am I doing worng? How do I get a clean flv out of AE with no black lines?
Thanks!
Curtis

This is something I've been battling as well. I've ton a bunch of test renders at different settings over the last several days. I haven't found a fix at all, but I have noticed these couple things:
If you do File/Export/FLV, the 400x300 works fine for me, no matter if I'm using CS3 or CS4.
If you want to export cue points for use with Flash, you MUST use the render queue - which means you can't simply export - which sucks.
Render queue always outputs black bars on top & bottom, unless I change it to 400x293 (instead of 400x300) but even then,
I will still get the bars in some online players.
The whole issue of PAR change from .9 to .91 is irrelevant because you can export FLV just fine, but you can't render FLV correctly.
This points to a flaw in the way the program handles "Export" vs "Render" for this particular output. I wish they would put out a fix for this.

Vertical black line artifact on JPEG exports

Tried to export 57 images to original sized JPEGS. Images were shot RAW on a Nikon D80. My problem is that some of the photos were exported with a thin black line down the middle of the image. Strangely, this only happened to my photos that were shot in portrait orientation. This line is not there in the RAW files, or in the Aperture previews. I also exported one of these images to Photoshop CS3 for editing and the vertical black line appeared in that conversion as well. Does anyone have any idea what's going on or how to fix it?
Example here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1375121/black_line.jpg
I am running Aperture 3.0 and OSX 10.6.2 on a MBP 2.16 C2D with 2GB RAM. Aperture runs slowly, but otherwise seems to be working fine (except for the occasional green screen freakout when I'm using a brush).
Thanks so much,
Austin

Yes, the images in question definitely have Noise Reduction. I think I set the value over 1.6. So there's no solution? That's incredibly frustrating.
We only have to wait for a new release!!
I have also noticed that the Noise Reduction seems not to be applied to the exported version, at least not in the same way as it is applied to the master image. Have you noticed this?

I have small black lines that appeared after I exported from word to PDF. I can't remove them.

I can't edit/delete the black lines with content editing or form editing (they are not selectable, just like a line that was created in word prior to export), and when I tried to write a white line over it with a comment mark up, it does not show when opened with adobe.
Further, redaction with a white box erased nearby text or text boxes.
How can I white out/remove these small lines?
I'm using Yosemite OS X with a macbook pro, acrobat XI.
Thanks!

Hi ,
Could you please tell is that some specific file in which those black lines have appeared or are there any other files as well ?
You can try exporting another test file to PDF and compare the results .
Will it be possible for you to share the file with us so that we can analyze at our end ?If yes ,please share it on [email protected] .
You could also send us the screen shot of the files ( both after and before export) so that we can have a look how it looks and what is the method to remove those lines.

Thin black line across Indesign CS4 doc exported to PDF

Hi ... am using Indesign CS4 on OS Windows XP and exporting docs to PDF (Acrobat 9 Professional) then printing on a HP Colour LaserJet CP2025.
I'm getting a thin black line across the bottom of the page when printing - it doesn't show up on the screen though. The line sits 5mm above the bottom edge of the page and prints whether I have bleed set or not in Indesign.
Have tried toggling scaling, printer's marks settings, printer settings,Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional settings with no joy.
Can anyone help?

Hi all,
EUREKA! Looks like it's finally fixed ...
One of my printer (HP Colour Laser Jet CP2025) has an advanced printer property, under printer features, called "Print Data Optimization" - this was set to "Auto" - I changed it to "Optimise for Text and Vector" and voila! Thin black line has disappeared and I'm happily reprinting a bunch of documents ...
Thanks everyone for your advice and input - saved my sanity

PDF exporting with thin black lines around some images

Hi there,
I have spent A LOT of time making a custom SAVE THE DATE card and I cannot find a solution to this problem. When I am working in the document, I do not see thin borders around any of the images but when I export to PDF they show up. I have NO BORDERS selected for all images in the document and cannot figure out why they keep showing up after export.
I have attached a screen grab of what the document looks like when I am working on it, and another one of what it looks like after export. I am using Pages 5.2.2 and OS X version 10.9.5
I need to order these SAVE THE DATES by tomorrow to take advantage of the 60% off! Thanks so much for your help!

I am seeing this same problem in a family newsletter I've created. The lines do not show up in Pages, but when I export to pdf (or print to pdf), the lines appear. When I print the document, no lines appear.
Here's what the top of the newsletter looks like - the black lines show up on all the pages, and in the beige-covered overlay, crosshatching is visible. The template I'm using was in existence two years ago, but doesn't seem to exist in Pages anymore. Would that have anything to do with the lines showing up?
I also found this link, but can't apply any of the suggested fixes, since they apply to Adobe: <http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/thin-white-dark-lines-stitching.html>.

Black lines not all showing up the same color when exported as any type file

Hi everyone,
I could really use some help as this is driving me crazy! Whenever I upload my Illustrator file with my logo online or export my logo as any type of file, certain black lines are lighter than others. I checked in Illustrator by clicking the lines that were showing up different shades when exported and all have the same #000000.
Does anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!

Unfortunately my file is set up like a hot mess. Everything is in the same layer and I should have definitely done multiple ones. This is only the second logo I've designed and I'm learning as I go. Basically I did an image trace of the drawing and then went back and manually fixed lines. Instead of having only a few to select I have many all in the same layer as my color.
I noticed my vector logo works fine when exported. It's the files where I am resizing it that are coming up in the different colors.

Media Encoder 720x480 exporting as 656x480 when using FLV|F4V

Version: 4.2.0.006
When I use the FLV | F4V format and select F4V (same as source) and I'm NOT resizing the video, it shows the resolution as 656x480 instead of the 720x480 resolution of the original AVI. If I use FLV instead of F4V it comes out 655x480 and if I go out and select the H.264 format, it keeps it at 720x480. Why the hell is it resizing the video for flash?
If it's because my DV source has non square pixels then why is it the H.264 format keeps the aspect ratio but the F4V H.264 version does not? Although I'm pretty sure NTSC DV video is square pixels no?

Start reading on PAR (pixel aspect ratio) on the help file or manual. And no, DV NTSC is NOT square pixel. So start reading.

Black Line next to Flash Video

Hi,
Just a quick query regarding flash video. I have tried two
methods of getting a flash video to work but I am still having the
same problem. Next to the flash video to the right hand side of it
I am seeing a black line like a border, but it is only on the right
hand side.
I have imported the video in flash 8 and chosen a player skin
which all works fine. But when I export the flash swf file i see
the black border on the right hand side.
I am also tried importing the video directly in dreamweaver.
Again, I choose the skin and other options and when i preview the
html page i see the right hand side line border again.
I am completely confused as I have another swf file which
uses the same flv which does not have the black line - so it must
be something I am doing?
Can anyone help?

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your reply. However, as I said above, I have one
swf file (which was created by someone else and I ca not edit)
which uses the same flv to power the video played in the swf which
does not have this black line. But when I set up a new fla with the
flv in it and then export i get the line. I had thought it was part
of the original video but it is not showing in this other swf?
Any ideas?

Black line on video after publishing

Hello
I have an issue with VC3.
I import an AVI file and add my effects to it. I then publish the video to FLV format, dimensions 512 x 288.
The source video have the exact same dimensions.
After export all videos have a thin black line on the right of the video. The line is about 1 pixel wide.
It's almost as if the published video have added on a pixel to the dimension and made it 513 x 288 but not stretched the video.
Although when I check the properties of the published video it has the correct dimensions.
I have tried to publish in AVI format as well but I still get the thin black line so it's not just the codec it's something VC does to the video.
This is very annoying as these videos are then embedded on a website with white background and the black line is very apparent.
Does anyone know how I could fix this please?
Thanks!

Save as flv/f4v missing in menu

The option to save as flv/f4v was available in my soundbooth cs4 File menu, but after a re-install (os to windows 7) the option is gone. I only have 'save as ... .asnd, .wma, .wmv, mp3, wav, mov, avi and aif'.
Is there a plugin or something I need installed in order for this option to become available to me, I am working with cuepoints so need to be able to export to this format. I have flash Cs4 and quicktime 7 installed.
Anybody have a solution?
Thanks!

Never got the option to saves as flv/f4v back in my soundbooth cs4 menu, but here's a
work around for anyone else needing a fast solution to this bizarre installation feature -
Place your markers as usual in soundbooth. Save your file, in this case it's a common wav format.
Export your markers (File>export>markers) this will generate an xml file which describes your injected cue points.
Open Adobe Media Encoder (which should be there with your flash cs4 installation)
Add your wav file, make sure format is flv|f4v, click on the orange preset information, expand your options by clicking on the the circle with the vertical arrows in.
Choose flv as your export format and adjust the other settings as you please, unfortunately it seems you have to export some video (I just needed the audio though, so I made the video export options really low like resize = 50 x50)
The on the left of adobe media encoder under the 'black' video preview click on the little stiffy disk icon to load in the marker xml file you created from soundbooth (you can also add markers from this section of the app).
Export you flv file.
Open flash, create a new project, choose file>import video. Choose the AME encoded flv file, set the skin to none, and import it. With the video selected on the stage you can make sure that the cuepoints were loaded in by opening windows>component inspector - the markers should be listed there.
Go ahead and work with markers using your metadataEvent and some switch statements in the listener.
Hope this helps, I will let you know when someday my option to do this directly from soundbooth will magically re-appear .

After Effects CC 2014 - removal of H.264, MPEG-2, WMV, FLV, F4V, and SWF exporters - WHY !?

While reading the features of AfterEffects CC2014, I noticed the following:
"removal of H.264, MPEG-2, WMV, FLV, F4V, and SWF exporters from After Effects"
THAT IS IS REDICULOUS!!
NO FLV !?!?
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT USERS TO IMPORT INTO FLASH ??
IF no FLV export is available under After Effects CC 2014, there is NO WAY to EMBED an flv into flash !! (Linking is NOT always what is wanted!!)
NO H264 !?!?!
HAVE YOU GONE CRAZY ?!!?!?
YOU BREAK WORKFLOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT IS REDICULOUS!!!
Any chance of restoring such features so that it makes updating to it worthwhile ?

To date I've primarily been a Photoshop user and have dealt with years of mystifying UX and workflow changes, features that are useless to me added, and critical ones taken away (I'm looking at you Bridge, you worthless piece of garbage). Then, to add insult to injury, Adobe forum mods telling me I'm doing it wrong and should be jumping through more hoops to achieve the same results. Now, with AE becoming a bigger part of my work, I am sad to find, that the same culture of disconnected arrogance and myopia prevails on the AE dev team.
"Oh um user, you really want to be going through AME, because um technically speaking there have been many problems with the H.264 and MPEG-2 exporters in After Effects"
Oh really? Tell me more about my job. Tell me about my experiences exporting these formats directly from AE. Tell me how my client views my content, is it on a Mac, or a PC? Maybe it's on his phone, or her iPad. What kind of phone is it though? Tell me at what point in my process it's ideal to render. Tell me about other tasks I'm performing. Tell me about the resolution and the bit-rate my files should play at. Tell me the final application I will be using the footage. Probably broadcast right? Or is it web? Or is it PowerPoint? Wait, what if there is no final output? What if it's just pre-vis for some other application?
Tell me how to win over my clients; what's the correct method of presentation to engage them most impactfully? Tell me about how much time I have to render massive video files. Is it more time efficient due to the nature of my composite to render once because my file is super shallow and will render quickly or is it more efficient to render twice because my file is extremely complex with hundreds of layers?
That the deprecated formats were hidden away in the preferences menu is dumb and annoying. That this same preference would then be removed is despicable and petty and is further confirmation that Adobe has contempt for me as a user.

What are the correct Premiere Pro CS4 settings for producing WMV/MP4 to FLV/F4V videos?

Greetings.
I have recently purchased CS4 Production Suite. My task is to convert WMV/MP4 videos to FLV/F4V videos that contain titles, transitions, and credits for streaming from Flash Media Server.
My test videos are experiencing audio sync issues when using Adobe Media Encoder as the export tool. When I use Flash Video Export tool using the source WMV/MP4, I do not experience sync issues.
I can control the WMV/MP4 output settings since we record our own sessions using Windows Media Encoder. I can also utilize Flash Media Live Encoder to capture the source.
The video source comes from a video capture card (Osprey) that is connected to an IP based camera(s) which are controlled by video technicians.
We record from that capture card into WMV format.
My question is, what are the settings in Premiere to produce FLV/F4V for streaming in 480p quality?
I am new to video production and gladly appreciate any assistance.
Regards,
Shack

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
Caveats: NONE
Jim,
Thank you for your response. I am a total noob at video, but have the requirement to produce recorded video to our FMS servers.
Here is my situation. We have classrooms and auditoriums hard wired with IP cameras. Our video techs can record to DVR and then finalize to DVD (VOB). We also have a control center that can capture those cameras using Windows Media Encoder to record.
I have been given CS4 to produce these videos. Each time that I transcode, the audio gets out of sync. I am trying to figure out a suitable way to take VOB and WMV files into PP and output to FLV/MP4.
Appreciate any advice...

Printing from InDesign - black lines

Good afternoon all,
I've started using InDesign CS6 at work to produce advertising catalogues. I've hit a bit of a wall when I print it and would like a bit of help to try and solve my issue(s).
I have a booklet set up to print 4 pages of A4 on to double-sided A3. I printed my latest proof from InDesign this morning (just to A4)and it looked OK. I then tested it using the glossy paper we have just got today and this is when I noticed some thin black lines on the A3 print.
To help give an idea of what I'm working with, it is a catalogue/brochure with 6 or 7 product images per page, each with a price point graphic (a circle with the price in a text frame within). The price point overlaps the product image by varying degrees.
I've just checked again and the thin black lines are all on the left-hand edge of objects - both product images and price point images. I acquired the images from the DLibrary and the price point graphics came from a previous designer.
The black lines do not appear on every product image, neither do they appear on every price point. They are not all the same size (height) as the frame that they are on, if that makes sense. For instance, I have an image of a pack of coffee, and the black line starts at the top of the left-hand side and finishes about halfway down. The price point for the coffee has a black line all the way down the left-hand edge.
I have printed the catalogue to A4, it was 100% fine. I print to A3 and these lines appear. I know I could export to pdf and print from there, but that then leaves the centre spread with a white stripe down the middle and I don't have the tools or the knowledge to get rid of the borders that appear in Adobe Reader.
I've looked in the settings and can't find anything that looks like it will help. Any advice gratefully received.

Thanks for the tip Mikey - however the same thing happens with the thin black lines when I print on 'normal' A3 paper too. On normal A4 paper it's fine, no lines, but when I print to A3 I get the lines - on both kinds of paper.
I've attached a couple of (awful-looking) scans to help illustrate my point.

Thin black line appears when applying transition to material

Im editing in PremProCC and have a problem with the video transitions especially the wipe effect. When I apply the wipe to a cropped jpg and play it back a thin black line seems to appear around the edges of the jpg. I thought it might have something to do with rendering but the render bar reminds yellow when I apply the effect. It also in the exported version too. Any help I've never seen this before?

Hope you can see the thin black line its more noticeable when it's playing back. Its just after the Bes/sy letters on the left had screen.

Black Line through Video

Im creating a video presentation for my community colleges Graphics / Multimedia Department. Ive used FCE very little so im still a novice.
I create some text in LiveType and made a video clip of it. In FCE i imported the text and the Lower Third it was going to go onto. The lower third video however was not in the correct position so I had to position it lower.
Every time I Export the video a Black Line appears at the top of the lower third clip in my video and fades with the transition. However in the preview there is no line.
I have a deadline to meet and would really like to know how to get ride of the line..

Cropped of the top of that clip, problem solved. I feel like a idiot.
