Borders on sides of video

Hi Folks.
I'm using Premiere CS4 and am compiling a piece of footage from a 3D rendered scene I created, and sound I recorded. The source render file is 400 x 300. However, when I go to export the finished movie, also at 400 x 300, I get black borders on the left and right side of the movie which I don't want. I'm fairly new to Premiere so can anyone give me some ideas of why this is happening and how I can resolve it? I want to render out the final movie, at 400 x 300, the same resolution as the base 3D rendered file, without having those black borders there.

You're welcome. Happy editing.
Cheers
Eddie

Black bars on sides of video

My video is 4x3, but in the preview window it comes up 16x9 and puts black bars on the sides of the video.
How can I correct this without starting over? Here is what I am talking about:

You can copy all footage into a correctly formatted sequence. Select all the files and right click to "Remove Attributes" and verify Distort is checked. Ta-Da!!!
Note: if you've changed other attributes make sure you only change distort.

Thin line on side of video frame especially with transitions

We're getting a colored line on the side of our video, especially during transitions, but also at other times. The phenomenon occurs on different computers. We're on Macs, running the latest up-to-date version of Snow Leopard. We're using PPro CS4. Our sequence size is presently 854x480 but the problem also occurred on our previous setting of 853x480. This specific problem started very recently -- I can't pinpoint anything we did different, except various routine system upgrades from Apple. An image of the problem can be found at this link --- http://tamotion.com/dk/transition%20line%20problem.png
Any ideas what is causing this?
Thanks

Thanks for getting involved, Hunt.
Do your source files match your Sequence Preset perfectly?
––– Yes
Why was the Preset changed by 1 pixel in the horizontal (about what I see there)?
––– The original target size of 853 horiz. was an error. It should have been 854, so we fixed it. The source files were transcoded from much larger MTS files, and were downsized in the transcoding to H264 with the exact size of the sequence = 854x480. (The reason for this unusual setting is in order to fit the interface of the client's teaching software.)
Do you have composited Video, i.e. Video Clips above other Clips, stills, or synthetic Video, like Color Mattes?
––– All of the above, though not all together. See the 2 screen caps I'm posting here ---

ISDN BRI Network side to Video conferencing unit

I would like to know if I can use a Cisco router (1760) to provide BRI's to a video conferencing unit. I would like the router to be configured for the NETWORK side so essentially it appears as the PSTN. At the main site I have a Cisco CallManager server that I would like to take in video calls from other offices and have CM basically perform the call setup to the video device connected to the 1760 router. The 1760 would connect to the CM via MGCP.

Unfortuneatly not - IOS will not switch non voice calls through BRI ports - video calls use a data bearer capability.
There is video support coming out soon for Call Manager - keep an eye out for it.

Good Website for learning about the technical side of Video?

Is there a good website which takes you throught the fundementals of video, such as video signal, terminology ect.

Can I rotate a video without having the black borders?

Hi, I shot some movie on my camcorder. I had the camcorder at a right angle at the time. When I rotate it on imovie11 I am left with black borders either side. How can I remove these? I'd really appreciate some help asap with this as I am editing the project right now.... Thanks in advance!

Hi
Please - no offence - no irony in this at all - just bit of lack of phantasy (in my department). BUT
If You don't like it scaled up to fill sideways and You don't want black borders.
Is it stretched sideways You want . Short fat people and all scaled just sideways - or.
What do You want and wherefrom would that information be retrieved that should fill the black borders ?
What's not recorded can't be created magically as far as I know.
So I guess that You need to explain much more how You think it should look and with what material it would be created.

Flipping a video effect to the other side

I have some effects that I am using to make my footage look old. Its a film looking strip, but it faces to the left, and I need them on both sides. Is there anyway to flip this to make it face the other way?

Video Filters > Perspective > Flop or if you want both sides then Video Filters > Perspective > Mirror

How do I get to synchronise 3 videos of the same thing from 3 different Angles to play in a FLA and switch between them?

Hi all,
It's been a long time since I was on here... well here goes(I need a bit of technical help with a question if I may)
This client of wants a flash video player of a model, modeling some clothes.
They are going to set up 3 different cameras around her at the same time filming her - one from the front, one from the side and one from the back. Each clip lasts exactly 3mins and they are filming her at THE SAME TIME.
Now after this, they want to put a FLASHPLAYER on their website with the video playing in a screen with 3 buttons underneath one saying FRONT VIEW, one saying SIDE VIEW AND one saying BACK VIEW. The three separate videos will be integrated in some way with this one flash file.
The video player might start playing the FRONT VIEW first.
BUT lets say 30 seconds into the clip I press the SIDE VIEW button the video switches to the side view on 30 seconds - The side view video doesn't play right from the start. Like I said before for example if the person is speaking and says "hello there", if you switch angle by clicking one of the buttons just at the point after she has said the word "hello", you switch to the angle where he is just about to say "there". If you see what I mean.
As I said before there are 3 separate video clips:- FRONT VIEW, SIDE VIEW and BACK VIEW. Now I am not sure if these have to be embedded in the FLA file or can be contained in a separate folder on the server so that the SWF can access them. I am worry about streaming over the internet thats why I THINK Flash Media Server3 MIGHT be a solution BUT I don't know. BUT they must be seamless.
AGAIN to reiterate...LETS say I am watching the SIDE view 30 seconds after the clip has started and the model starts scatching her head and then AT THAT POINT I click the front view button below I see the model scratching her head from the front view at THAT precise moment.
So all the videos seem to work at the same time to the casual viewer/user and it looks as though you are just switching views whenever you want.
I have been looking all over the net to see if someone has produced a working example or if there is a tutorial somewhere but I have found NOTHING.
I think there might be a problem pulling this one off as each video clip could be 4-5 MB in size and if they are streaming then there would be download problems and these videos might stop due to people with various bandwidth restrictions UNLESS all the videos were integrated into the flash library and were referenced from within by Actionscript but then the resultant SWF could be HUGE.
I would really appreciate any help/suggestions here and any link to any working samples on the NET that I can download and disect at my leisure.
BTW:-
My email is [email protected]
Cheers

Use Flash Media Server to stream the files.......set up a timer and have all three of them play at once....and have a button switch the streams depending upon which stream you want to play.....and wallah......
you can also capture the stream.time from the video playing and resume from that point on the other videos as well....havent done this theoretically so I dont know how smooth the transistion between streams will be....but it can be done....
plus u may have to use double buffering techniques to make sure it starts up right away......

LR 4.1RC2 bug reports: 1) no saving of video metadata 2) out of place dynamiclinkmediaserver folder

Hi,
testing LR 4.1 RC2 x64 on a fresh Win 7 x64 system. Having noticed two bugs, I'm not sure where to report them... (and there is no official or Adobe-endorsed bug tracking system afaik).
1b)
I have a bunch of digicam videos from my Panasonic LX3, originally in Mjpeg-in-Mov format, that I convert to vanilla h264 avi for more ease of use/saving storage space. Each video comes with an out-of-camera low-res Jpeg sidecar.
Having imported the converted avi + jpeg into the LR catalog, it appears that metadata can be saved neither in the videos nor in the Jpeg sidecars. As a side-effect, videos permanently appear as "Metadata unsaved" in various LR filters/smart collections.
1b)
after import, the capture date of these videos is set to the converted file creation date (probably due to the lack of embedded capture date metadata in videos) which is wrong - there has to be a better solution than assuming filesystem stamps are reliable metadata.
And of course, here again this metadata can not be edited & saved. A tricky workaround is to read the capture date from the sidecar, set with a commandline utility the creation date of the video file, then import the video file.
Please consider fixing these two points: by allowing to read metadata first from videos, and if metadata missing, from companion sidecars (xmp, jpg...), then allowing to save edited metadata to these sidecar files (xmp, jpg...) if video files are not writable or their metadata too tricky to manage. Although not foolproof, that'd be better than no metadata capabilities for videos at all.
(Or perhaps allow users to permanently disable the video/Quicktime part of the software, leaving it to other third-part tools or the OS)
2)
Upon using LR 4 RC2, some "Adobe\dynamiclinkserver\6.0" empty directory tree is created under %User%\Documents. If deleted, the folder gets recreated after later use of LR4. Guess it relates to the video-management part of the software.
Please consider fixing this or, if such a folder is really needed, placing it out of the users' Documents...
(Or perhaps allow users to permanently disable the video/Quicktime part of the software, leaving it to other third-part tools or the OS)
• As a sidenote, LR 4.1RCs still complain about the incompatibility with Photoshop CS5.5. Not sure if there's any easy fix for this annoying fact, besides installing some trial Adobe PS CS6 [beta] on top of a fully-working CS 5.5 Suite.

CP 6.0.1.240 - Video Demo Project vs. Video Recording & YouTube

Hello,
I have a project with two small slide videos included. I recorded them using Record New Video Demo and I embedded them on 2 different slides using Video > Insert Video. Once embedded I added text captions etc and timed them to coincide with the video. When I preview the video, timing is dead on. When I publish to YouTube, one of the two videos delays noticeably and it throws off the timiing of all the related captions, etc. I tried F4V and MP4, I tried uploading using the YouTube button and directly, no change. I even tried manually pushing the timing of the captions out to see if I could account for the delay on YouTube but it doesn't have to do with the slide just the pre-loading or starting of the video on that slide. The fact that I have 2 slides each with an embeded video and one works fine and the other doesn't is driving me around the bend. I compared the two slides side-by-side and could not find any differentiating settings.
Does anyone have any other suggestions for me to try?
Thanks
Julie
UPDATE: I went back to compare side-by-side the videos and I have noticed a difference. One is called a Video Recording and the one that pauses for too long is called a Video Demo Project. I could have sworn I recorded them in the exact same way. This sounds silly but does anyone know what I did differenty; why one is a video demo and why the other is a video recorrding?

UPDATE: When I finally published the video to YouTube, the hiccup or pause on the background audio seems to have resolved. It was very evident in previewing the project and not noticeable once published to YouTube. I have a new issue now as it relates to pausing but not of the audio of the video itself. I will be posting a new thread for that.

Video out of sync in Final Cut Express... but in sync everywhere else!

'm working on making one video that is composed of two camera angles of the same thing. So, I have two video tracks in Final Cut Express, one for the side view, and one for the main view. Both videos are Quicktime Movies (.mov extension).
Here are the file details:
Main Cam: duration - 1hr 26min 46sec // file size - 5.74gb
Side Cam: duration - 1hr 29min 18sec // file size - 5.63gb
[the side cam video is a little longer because I started filming with that camera a little bit before the main cam and stopped the filming a little earlier]
Now, here's the problem. Both videos are in my Final Cut Express project. The Main Cam video runs fine. But the Side Cam video's video is out of sync with the audio by a lot (somewhere between 2 and 6 full seconds). Normally I would think that something had happened during the filming, but here's the odd thing: the Side Cam video plays perfectly in sync out of Final Cut Express.
If I open it in Quicktime, or even in iMovie, the audio and video are perfectly in sync for the entirely of the video. But when I import it into FCE and watch it there, whether it's in the timeline, in the viewer, rendered, or unrendered (I've tried them all), it's horribly out of sync.
So, the video plays fine and in sync everwhere except for in the Final Cut Express program. The Main Cam video, which has a very similar duration and file size and which is the same file type, plays perfectly even in FCE. The only problem is the Side Cam, and I can't figure out why this is, or how to fix it.
Another thing: these videos were not captured from a camera into Final Cut. I already have the video files on the computer, and as I've said, the audio is fine there. To get them into FCE, I use file -> import.
Also, if anyone has suggestions on how to fix this, could you provide directions of some sort? I'm fairly new to Final Cut.
Any advice would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much in advance!

Hi(Bonjour)!
Does both camcorders was set to 16-48 khz audio?
One way to synch audio that drifting from video (or from anoter audio lenght) is to set precisely 2 markers (one near the beginning, another near the end) in the correct lenght video track. Try to find spots where you can hear and see a common reference. The result of the workaround will put a corrected audios between those points only.
Now note the duration between those 2 markers in video track.
*Unlink the video/audio clip with the wrong duration.*
Select the drifting audio and put the 2 markers at the intended reference points.
The duration should be less or more than the video.
Use the blade tool to cut the wrong lenght audio at markers.
The tips is to set a new duration for this portion with the set speed command.
With this +new duration+, align the in point of audio with the first video marker. The out point of audio should be aligned with the second video marker.
Now the audio should match the video lenght and should be in synch.

No picture with S-Video

I wanted to hookup a S-Video cable from my DVD player to the S-Video connection on the side panel (video-2 In) of my Toshiba 32HLC56 monitor. Nothing happens. If I hook up a standard RCA jack video cable to the side panel, it works. I see nothing in the manual that requires anything special. What do I seem to be missing here?

Open the QuickTime Control Panel / Advanced tab
under video switch to "Safe mode"
quit and relaunch QuickTime Player and try the file again.

Synchronising video to slides in adobe presenter/ adobe connect

HI All,
We use Adobe connect for live webinars. Our client now has prerecorded video of the presenter and wishes us to synchronise the powerpoint slides to play along side the video. This is usually done as a live event with us using a live video feed and the presenter forwarding the slides within Adobe. They wish to recreate this using pre recorded footage.
If we do this manually, (i.e. load up the slide deck and video to the room and manually forward the slides whilst playing the video in a video pod) synchronisation is an issue due to buffering at the viewers end. The Slide deck slowly gets further and further behind or in front of the video until it no longer makes any sense.
If we put the video and powerpoint in to a single video slide we loose resolution of the powerpoint.
What we would like is to use Adobe presenter, thus keeping the resolution of what are quite busy slides and having the talking head clearly present.
Any ideas? It seems synchronising with audio is standard but not with video. Ideal would be to replace the photo id image with the video.
Sorry but any replies that suggest not having the video or making the slides less busy are not helpful ;-)
Thanks in advance

The two suggestions I would put out there are:
- Reach out to Adobe Support about the recording sync issue. They may be able to resolve it. Adobe Connect Help | Adobe Connect Support
- Look at Captivate. It does a much better job of handling the addition of video to a presentation and allowing you an easier path for syncing video and the presentation. This is a monumentally dificult task in Presenter.

I need a flash player that does split screen with two "like" videos

I am a newbie on Flash and really need some guidance or a source code to work off of. I need a flash player that I can have two videos, overlayed with a mask at 50% on each so I see half of one video on the right and half of the other video on the left, thus split screen.
We are trying to show off the same video with a before and after effect or show processed video on one side and non-processed video on the other.
If anyone has a sample or knows how to do this, I would be interested in talking with them.
Thanks in advance.

Basically the two videos are identical except what was processed on the post
file. So ideally we would want:
Video 1 (left side 50%)
Video 2 (right side 50%)
One controller with play, pause and full screen.

ADF Faces + hardware device in the client side.( adf swing or adf java fx)

We are using adf+swing in desktop app.
We like ADF Faces but we need interations with Hardware device in the client side: scan reader, web cam, bar code reader, finger prints reader …
How to do that’s in the adf faces web environment ( what about with sandbox security) how to obtain in the adf faces web page in the client side de video streams.
In the future adf will be use Java FX?
Thanks
Juan Carlos Llanes

Hi,
see sample 71 http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/index-101235.html#CodeCornerSamples
You can use ActiveX plugins or JavaApplet to access the client system. To reach out of the sandbox, it will require a certificate
In the future adf will be use Java FX?
No.
