Burning to Full-screen

In v.11, how do I get the program to burn the DVD to full-screen? I have told it to do so, but I keeps on burning to widescreen.

Great news. Great job sorting through the details.
The core of your issue went to the differences between Premiere Elements 9 and 11 and its default project presets and how project preset is set.
Some of the factors are found

Add to the mix, that the project preset directs the program to make certain settings (assumptions). So, if you have a HD project preset, you are going to see NTSC_Widescreen_Dolby DVD set as the default in the burn dialog. I am guessing that you were letting the project control setting the Premiere Elements 11 project preset, and it was giving you its default NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 instead of NTSC DV Standard.
But the ground rules are
a. know the properties of your source media
b. set the project preset to match the properties of the source media (if the project does not do it right, then you set the project preset manually)
c. keep the export settings consistent with the other project settings.
I will spare you the rest of the details for now. Just know, please do not hesitate to ask if you have questions or need clarification.
Thanks.

What happened to the Ken Burns full screen screen saver options

What happened to the Ken Burns effect full screen option for screen saver in Mountain Lion. It's not the same as Lion. Actually it *****.

Submit bug reports to http://bugreporter.apple.com/ after signing for a free online developer account:

Or post to http://www.apple.com/feedback/ Hopefully someone who has played with the screen saver can tell you what is most like Lion's.

Full screen slideshows with music

How do I publish slideshows that can be displayed full screen w/ music? I've read through some posts that seem to allude that this can be done w/iweb + iphoto, but after much trial and error I can't get it to work.
An example of what I'm shooting for is what I'm able to do over at phanfare.com, such as with this album:
http://public.phanfare.com/slideshow.aspx?username=public&album_id=281790
Really, if I could just get my iPhoto slideshows to display through iweb it would be great. That way you get ken burns, music, full screen, etc.
What I've discovered is that you can create your iphoto slide show and export it as a quicktime movie for posting, but the quality *****. Contrary to other posts, you apparently can not select to share a slideshow from within iphoto to iweb since the pages are grayed out in the options. The standard iweb slideshows from the album pages don't have music and aren't capable of full screen viewing.
I'm a phanfare subscriber and love their slideshows but they are making some big changes in the service next year and I'm looking for alternative ways of sharing slideshows- but I gotta have full screen and custom music. I'd love to use my .mac account since I already pay for it.

QuickTime Media Link is very simple. A tiny text based file that holds special settings for playback and is viewed using the QuickTime Player (not a browser plug-in). It will always download to the computer when the link is clicked. They measure in bytes (not MB's like your actual file).
You can make them with TextEdit and save them using the .qtl file extension. The syntax:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?quicktime type="application/x-quicktime-media-link"?>
<embed
autoplay="true"
controller="false"
fullscreen="full"
loop="true"
src="entire URL path to the file.extension"
Create the QuickTime file with iPhoto or any other application and upload it to your server. iDisk users could use the Movies folder. Other server users may want to make a new folder to store the media outside of their regular pages.
Once uploaded you need to use the complete URL in the .xml text file. Test that it works by opening it directly in QuickTime Player or a browser window.
Make your "plain text" file using the example code above. Substitute your URL for the src="entire URL path to the file.extension". You can have the movie "loop" (or not), play at "full" screen (or other sizes) and many other options.
Major advantage to this method is you do not need to create a huge file sized QuickTime movie. A 640X480 QuickTime file in H.264 video codec format and AAC audio is all you need for full screen playback.
In iWeb you need only use the "Link to File" to add this .qtl file to your page. One of mine as an example:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/LemonTrees/LemonTree.qtl

Once I've burned a DVD by exporting photos so a pc can read them, is there a way to view them in iPhoto full screen without having to open each one in preview?

Once I've burned a DVD by exporting photos so a pc can read them, is there a way to view them full screen on my Mac without having to open each one in preview?

You would have to import them to iPhoto, iPhoto cannot work with images that are not in its library.
You might try some of the other viewers out there.

Unable to obtain full screen when burning DVD

I have a trial version of Adobe Premiere Elements
8. When burning dvd and then playing on my tv through dvd player I am not getting a full screen. The wide screen video covers about 3/4 of the screen instead of the entire screen. The settings I am using are NTSC widescreen dolbyDVD, and Quality is checked with no changes in quality. The preview screen is set on a magnificatgion fit. The Video is centered on the preview screen. I have spent hours trying to resolve this problem? I have a trial version and not sure if want to purchase with this problem.
I tried to upload the 8.01 up grade and my computer just blinks on and off; will not load?

I have been having the same problems. See my discussion threads on aspect ratios in the past few days.
Let me share my thoughts on this. Apparently Elements 8 is optimized to work on 4:3 CRT TV's; HD flat screen TV's must not have made much penetration in India yet. So when you set the output for NTSC widescreen, what Elements does is compress the widescreen data into a 4:3 frame, squeezing the image horizontally. Counterintuitively, what you have to do is select NTSC normal. Then Elements does not further squeeze the widescreen data. What it then does is fit it into a 16:9 letterbox, still containing the left and right bars, within the 4:3 frame. Set the DVD to playback in widescreen mode, which expands the letterbox image to full width of the TV, though retaining the left and right bars, then zoom the TV image to full the screen, to eliminate all the bars top, bottom and sides. Worked for me, but I used a SD camcorder set to record in widescreen.
A better option might be to change the default pixel aspect ratio, which I am yet unable to effectuate.

Why do my photos get blurry when they are enlarged to full screen from the disc I burn, or played on the t.v.? I set the burn on the highest quality. The photos don't look blurry when enlarged from iphoto on the computer.

Why do my photos that are transferred from iphoto to idvd, and then burned on DVD, look blurry when the idvd is shown full screen on computer or on t.v. They don't look blurry when I enlarge the iphoto pics on the computer. I used the 'prof. quality" encoding setting before burning, and before putting photos on idvd.

Hi
DVD is as standard - only interlaced SD-Video (as on old CRT-TVs) and can never be any better than this.
This is less than a quarter of Your Mac screen resolution.
That's one part of Why You can see High res. on Your Mac - and not on DVD.
Next part is what program is used to make the SlideShow.
If You use iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - to make it - it too degrades the final result as non of them can deliver interlaced SD-Video to iDVD but only half (every second line in the picture)
I use
• iMovie HD6 or
• FinalCut (any version) or
• FotoMagico™
As they all delivers 100% of what iDVD or Toast™ or DVD Studio Pro or Whatever needs.

How can i burn a slideshow to a dvd disc and keep the same full screen hi-def quality to it? I exported it to idvd but much of the quality was lost.

Ask in the iDVD forum on what's the best way out of iPhoto and into iDVD. The resident expert there, Bengt Wärleby, can give you the best option.

Why don't pictures from a slideshow made in iPhoto and then burned on to a DVD in iDVD not use the full screen?

Why don't pictures from a slideshow made in iPhoto and then burned on to a DVD in iDVD not use the full screen?

All I want to do is send my family the pictures for them to be able to see them on most dvds and use manually control.
If you want set top DVD player playback, I suggest you create a a series of slideshows IN iDVD that each contain a MAXIMUM of 99 images. Do not create the slideshow in iPhoto or iMovie.
Is there an easier way to do this, bypassing iDVD?
Some DVD players will play a disc containing jpeg images

ITunes 11.0.2.26 For Windows Stuck in Full Screen Mode

Itunes 11.0.2.26 is in Full Screen mode and I cannot get it out. When I go to "View" the Full Screen Ctrl + F is Paled out. I cannot get it to resize. How can I get it out of Full Screen. I hav Windows Vista Home Premium.
Thanks .

Mine is a brand new machine. Burning software was installed before iTunes was installed. I am looking at this article which points to a possible problem with the GEAR drivers: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308
It also points to the afs.sys and afs2k.sys drivers as a potential problem. I've verified that I don't have these drivers on my machine.
When I go to the GEAR site, it tells you to manually uninstall the GEAR drivers and install the latest ones. First, manual uninstall which involves editing the registry. Really? While I'm quite the expert at registry editing, NO CONSUMER should ever be told to edit the registry to delete anything. Second, if in fact the GEAR drivers are the problem, shouldn't iTunes install the right ones? This is a prime example of poor software engineering at its core.

Weird screen issues in full screen mode

This problem here could as well be posted under the MacPro section, but I'll give it a try here first:
I have a brand new MacPro 6-core with the HD 5870 graphics card option. I use a dual screen setup with a Cinema HD 23" (Aluminium body) hooked up using the Mini Display Port Adpater and a brand new NEC PA241W hooked up using the big DVI connector.
The Cinema Display is secondary, while the NEC is primary.
Everything runs fine until I go to full screen mode in Aperture (3.1). As soon as I use one of the floating windows of Aperture (like when pressing "H" or when using the Crop Tool) the image, which is displayed full screen on the NEC while having the browser on the ACD, starts to behave very awkward. When using the crop tool for example, it will get reduced to about 80% of the full screen size. When I move the mouse somewhere on the ACD it gets back to full screen. This then goes back and forth every time I move my mousepointer somewhere.
Similarily, when I start to edit a few sliders with the Adjustments panel, the NEC image sometimes gets darker for a split second and then back up to normal brightness. Same here: when I move the mouse pointer on the ACD, it usually triggers this in any kind of way.
As you can imagine, there is no way of working fluently and it gets on my nerves pretty fast, making full screen view unusable. In the normal window view, there is no such behavior at all.
I have the feeling, that there seems to be something wrong with either the HD 5870, it's drivers, something in Aperture itself (no problems in any other Application so far) or any combination of all of the above together.
Before this setup I used a iMac with the ACD attached and never had any issues.
Any ideas?

- it's just one card, the optional HD 5870
- I switched the primary/secondary between the NEC and the ACD and also switched the way they connect to the GC, still the same. So it occurs on the ACD as well and it does not matter if either display is connected using the DVI or the Mini Display Port (therefore I think it's not a display issue)
- I always update everything right away, so my systems are always running the latest of everything, OS X, Aperture...
- I used the profile which was default for the NEC and a calibrated one for the ACD. But since it occurs on both monitors, I don't think this is an issue. It is highly unlikely that there are two broken profiles at the same time causing the exact same bug
Meanwhile I got an answer from somebody in another Mac forum and he could reproduce this behavior on his MacPro, which is from 2008 and has the 5770 card. So it narrows down even further and seems to affect older MP's and the 5770 card as well. I'm indeed glad that somebody else experiences the same, because I was worried that my brand new MP was broken.
Here are the exact steps how to reproduce it (you need a MP + Aperture + 2 Displays):
1. go to full screen with "F"
2. enable the HUD using "H"
3. lock the HUD to the viewer using the small button in the upper right corner of the HUD
4. activate any of the quick brushes, like dodge or burn
5. the picture, which should be full screen on the primary display, will now reduce in size to about 70% and will be sitting on the right hand side of the screen

How to view movies in full screen?

i have a video i want to see in full screen that i made in imovie.. unfortunately when i view it in full screen.. the movie doesnt fit the screen... there are black borders around the clip. so how do i view the video in full screen?

hey there Samirziz,
are you wanting full screen on your Mac or your TV? is your TV 16:9 or 4:3? is your movie 16:9 or 4:3?
4:3= almost square, old technology analog
16:9= widescreen, newer technology ready for digital
pillarbox = bars on side
letterbox = bars on top & bottom
David is right on in what he says, uultimately it will depend on you making the movie & it's DVD(if you burn it to DVD) fit your TV.
4:3 movie > 4:3 DVD = full screen on a 4:3 TV
4:3 movie > 4 :3 DVD =pillar box on a 16:9 TV(if you can't tweak something on your TV-like Zoom, still may cut off a bit on top & bottom)
16:9 movie > 16 :9 DVD = full screen on a 16:9 TV
16:9 movie > 16:9 DVD = letter box on a 4:3 TV (afaik, there's no way to tweak the TV)
iMovie & iDVD work together well & iDVD kinda "auto detects" if your movie is 4:3 or 16:9, then opens in the appropriate format.
good luck, hope this helps

Bad video quality of final product when viewing on computer in full screen

It looks like a picture does when you blow it up and it's a low quality image. Everything I'm reading says the problem would be with the video capture...but I have the same bad quality when I'm viewing the menu! Around all the text on the menu, it's fuzzy and same with my video on the menu. So are my video clips in the movie itself.
I have tried playing it on Windows Media Player, the apple DVD program, and WinDVD and I get the same problem when I view it on full screen.
I assume my family will mostly be playing it on a TV. Do you think it will play properly or worse on a TV? I don't actually have a DVD player myself to test it out. Any suggestions on why this could be happening?
Thanks!

when I started using iDVD, one of the hardest adjustments for me to make was video quality on TV screen vs on computer screen. (I am used to satellite to S-Video TV and HD screens on my computer.)
My camera it a miniDV, and playback via SVideo to an Svideo TV screen is awesome.
I was sorely disappointed when I played the same tape back on the computer. It was grainy/fuzzy, etc. Same with the DVD I made.
But when I played the DVD back on the TV, the image quality was the same as when I connected the camera to the TV - crisp, sharp, video and text.
I've since burned numerous DVDs, and the result is always the same - blah on the computer, sharp on the TV.
As someone else in this thread stated, the average TV is low-res compared to the computer screen.
If I recall the spec correctly, standard NTSC is 240 line, SVideo is up to 500 line. HD is 720 line and higher...ergo an NTSC source is roughly 1/2 the resolution of the typical CPU screen, or 1/3 the resolution of low end HD screens. So yes, NTSC output on your computer screen will always be fuzzy compared to your TV screen.
I think you will likely be very pleased with the DVD when you playback on your TV.

Images in FCP X 10.0.8 - blurry on full screen playback

I'm trying to create a documentary of around 30 mins using both photos (Ken Burns effect) and video clips. Settings are as follows:
I have around about 580 photos all cropped in PS6 to 1700 x 900 px. Won't be using many of them but have them imported just in case. The video clips show beautifully on full screen preview, however, the photos are blurred and jagged. When I tap the space bar and freeze the image, however, they preview just fine. I have only created around 6 mins at this stage so I tried making a DVD of that portion and there was no problem with the photos showing sharply as they should. This is rather discerting to say the least and I am a little hesitant to continue until I get some professional advice. Is this a problem with something I have or have not done in cropping/resizing the images (they are all around about 5 mbs and many taken from CR2 files) or is this a problem with this version of FCP X 10.0.8? Has anybody else experienced this problem? And since the 6 mins rendered and created a final DVD without any problem should I just proceed as is? Finally, I am using a MacBook Pro 15in - now 2 years old if that should make any difference.
Thanking you,
Mitaka27

Thank you so very, very much. Changing that preference solved the problem. What a relief.

Image blinks/ flashes during full screen

The clips in my movie seem to flash for a fraction of a second when i play them in full screen.. has anyone else had this problem? if so, what should i do about them?
thanks!

LOL! Translation:
Delete the transition.
That part you got...:)
Then step frame-by-frame through your rendered Ken Burns effect towards the end of the first clip you're transitioning from.
Hit the right arrow key until you have scrolled through the clip before the transition.
You'll notice a white blank frame at the end of the clip.
You will finally come to a place in the clip where a small white clip is hiding.
Do an Apple-T (separate clip at playhead) and snip off the end that includes the white frame.
Go to Edit / Split Clip at Playhead to separate the white area from the clip. Then highlight that clip and delete it.
Apply your cross-dissolve, and the problem should go away.
Re-apply whatever transition you were using and all should be good.
