Can you trim top and bottom black from videos?

Hi
I have a project where I need to make all my video clips the same height.
Some of the clips are in widescreen, and I'd like to trim the black from the top and bottom so that I maximise the height of the footage.
Can this be done in elements, and if not, are there any programs that you can do that in?
Thanks for your time and help.
Shaun

John,
Glad that you found it. I use it constantly, as I often animate my Titles with Keyframed Effects, and will just Copy/Paste Attributes to all. Same for Effects that are common to multiple Video (or Audio) Clips.
One caveat: when planning on use it, do one Clip with the complete Effects line-up, then Copy. Select all other Clips that you wish to Paste Attributes to. If you have already added some Effects, beyond the Fixed Effects, you will get multiple instances of that/those Effect(s), i.e. if you have already added Color Correction to the destination Clips, an have Color Correction in your source Clip, you will likely get 2 instances of Color Correction. Plan ahead, so that you do not have to go back and Delete any duplicated Effects.
Good luck,
Hunt

I have an 11" Macbook Air. When I use Garageband it opens in a window so large that the bottom corner is not accessible so I can't decrease the window so that I can see the top and bottom of the window at the same time. Any suggestions?

When I use Garageband the window is so large that I can't reach the bottom corner to decrease the window to fit inside the display so that I can see the top and bottom of the window at the same time.
Any suggestions?

You can reduce the window by grabbing any edge or corner. You don't have to use the bottom right anymore.
You could also temporarily move the dock to the left/right so you can reach the bottom.

Music Video Top And Bottom Black?

Straight to the point.
Examples:
Top and bottom barrier - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpSqWgkWCcA
Normal Widescreen - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnEZmk7as9Y
Which, why?
I've recorded a music video on my canon 600D using the 35mm prime lens all great quality in 1080p 25fps 1920 x 1080, have i recorded in the wrong size or do people put a plain black banner at the top and bottom of music videos, if so why?
Also after exporting using AME youtube 25fps 1080p preset the video comes out quiet a bit darker than the original footage? should i be using 16bpc(same as sources), linerising workspace and using the workspace HDTV (rec.709) or am i heading into the wrong settings here?

Well, Jack, sorry to say this, but you've still got a problem.
"mov" only indicates that you're working with quicktime movies. But in order to get closer to solving the dark video problems, people need to know the CODEC of the quicktime movie files... which we still don't know.
Highlight a clip in the AE project window, and look at the info at the top. You ought to find the codec listed there.
In the meantime, you might find this helpful:

Normally, you don't have to fool with color spaces with quicktime in AE.

Can you access files and edit them from different computers in Creative Cloud?

I want to understand the workflow we can have. We have three computers and would like to access and edit the same files in Creative Cloud. Can you do this? I understand I may have to purchase two licenses but will this give everyone access to the same files and able to edit and upload files.
We do this in Dropbox now but with Creative Cloud is sounds like all I can do is share a file for them to comment on, not edit?

Hi Olivia,
With Creative Cloud, file editing comes in via downloading Adobe applications with a Creative Cloud membership. While you cannot edit within Creative Cloud, you can share files with your coworkers which can then be downloaded, edited in an Adobe application, and reuploaded to the Cloud.
Be aware that although you can have two computers activated on the same Creative Cloud membership, you cannot use the same application on two computers simultaneously. A Creative Cloud membership is for one user that can be used on one or more computers.
You may want to look into the Creative Cloud Team Ready, that targets work environments like yours. You can read more about Team Ready here.
Hope this helped clarify your questions!

Can you block contacts and/or numbers from your phone?

Is there a way to block callers and /or block someone's texting?

this is a work around, but so far it works...
download a silent ring tone, import it to I Tunes and sync it to your phone. I found one online by searching for silent ringtone
pick a number you want to block (in my case it was a telemarketer) and add them into your contacts as UNWANTED CALLER.
set the ring tone to SILENT RING TONE, vibration notice to NONE
you can also set the text tone to none and vibration to NONE
now you can add other numbers to the same contact when they call just add to existing contact, choose UNWANTED CALLER and save it.
This does not keep them from being able to call, but your phone does not notify you when they are calling.
Good Luck!

Vimeo Embed - Remove Black Bars Top and Bottom

I have used the Vimeo widget to embed videos on my Adobe Muse site. I am using BC as the hosting platform.
A black bar is showing up on all my videos on the top and bottom. The videos are 1280x720p. In the vimeo website preview this is not happening so I am thinking this is a result of the Vimeo Widget settings in Muse. It does not matter how big or small I make the widget box, this happens.
I can't find anywhere in Firebug that gives me the ability to alter the padding or margin to edit this.

Any ideas?
Sean

If anyone else has this problem here is the solution I came up with:
CSS (can be inline or linked to stylesheet)
.video-wrapper {
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 54.1%;
padding-top: 2.2%;
height: 0;
.video-wrapper iframe {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
HTML
<div class="embed-vimeo ">
<div class="video-wrapper">
<iframe src="//player.vimeo.com/video/xxxxxxxx" height="335" width="505" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

1280x720 video on screen getting squished on top and bottom

Premiere CS4. I exported a 1280x720 video to play on a LCD TV with the following settings
in the attached. The TV is set to play 16:9. I have it set to square pixels since the zip file with the video is playing the video file, not a dvd player.
But...there is black on the top and bottom of the video. What could be causing this? Is it my export settings? Maybe it can't be a wmv?? I'm confused?

No answer here; just curiosity.
The "zip file" you describe: How are you getting the video to the TV?
Our one and only "HD" TV so far is a relatively small, cheap one. It has lots of settings for how to deal with various formats, and sometimes (TV signals or commercial DVDs) I cannot find a completely correct option. I suspect that its native display resolution is odd. Harm, is it possible that native resolution of a display can be an issue?
So I'd test your output on a "better" TV.

Top and bottom moving lines on histogram

Hello,
Can someone explain what those are ? I thought they were corresponding with the 0 and 100% on the parade, but sometimes I see signal below the 0 on the parade, and no signal approaching the bottom moving line on the histogram.
Thanks.
Fred

You can't crop off the top and bottom of your video and change its frame size.
However, depending on what type of camcorder your video came from, you should be able to use a 16:9 project settings for your Premiere Elements project and get a 16:9 video output with no letterboxing.
What type of camcorder did your original video come from?
What project settings are you using in Premiere Elements?
My free Basic Training with Premiere Elements tutorials at Muvipix.com show you how to select the correct project settings for most major video formats.

Is it Possible to set Top and Bottom Margin for each section?

I've been googling and haven't found an answer to this problem.
I need to specify a different top and bottom margin for each section in my document. The "document margins" apply to the whole document, so I've set those to a low amount, and I can set the Layout Left and right margins - but the "Layout Margins" do not allow "top and bottom" only "before and after". This is a critical difference, because if you have 2 pages in a section, only the first page gets the "before" margin, and only the 2nd page gets the "after" margin. This is a little odd, and I'm frankly surprised we are in version 4 of this app - and you can't set top and bottom margins for each section.
If you insert a "layout break" on each page, then you can get the margins to reset for each page inside a section, but this is not an acceptable workaround as I need to setup templates for staff to use that will "flow" like a normal word processor.
Does any one have any suggestions?

On page 49 in the English Guide version it tells you about Lay-out margins. This is the text
*Defining Layout Margins*
*In a word processing document, a layout margin is the space around columns in a*
layout.
*To change the layout margin in a word processing document:*
*1 Click in a column.*
*2 Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Layout button, and then click Layout.*
*3 To change the outside margins of the column(s), enter values in the Left and Right*
*fields under Layout Margins.*
*4 To specify the amount of space above and below the column(s), enter values in the*
*Before and After fields under Layout Margins.*
*The new margins can’t extend outside the page margins set for the document in the*
*Document inspector.*
I hope this helps.

View top and Bottom of large spreadsheets at same time

How do I split a sheet so I can see the top and bottom (or one side and the other) at the same time?
I have a large sheet, covering several screens. I would like to make changes in the upper screens and see how it changes the totals at the bottom. I can't seem to find a way to do this.
I could export the sheet back into excel, but that defeats the purpose of using numbers.
Thanks in advance.

-Sorry- Apple discussions is posting twice. When it seems to hang, and you try to submit again, apparently it did get the post the first time, just didn't reload the page. I wil post into the support support discussion to ask why...
Sorry for the extra post again,

How can you make your persona show on the top and bottom? Also can you make it bigger at the top to show more of the picture?

Add extra empty toolbars if you want to see more of the persona.<br />
You can create extra toolbars to get extra space via View > Toolbars > Customize<br />
You have to put something on a toolbar (drag a Space item onto it) before closing the Customize window because empty toolbars are automatically removed.<br />

How to remove web data from the top and bottom of my Ebay invoices so I can print them without it.

When I create my Ebay invoices, (which are generated through the browser in a new window) data is also generated at the top and bottom that I don't want to show on the invoice. The data is the date and time at the bottom, together with the page number, and at the top it shows the web location. In Explorer, you can remove this before printing but I can't work out how to do it in Firefox. Help please!

Hello!
You can change that in Page Setup, choose the "Margins & Header/Footer" tab and chose "--blank--" instead of the data that you don't want it to appear.
You can visit [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-print-websites#w_margins-and-header-footer How to print websites] for more details.
I hope that helps,
Have a nice day

Is there any way I can get the pictures on my iPhone 5c to be the whole screen instead of with a black band across the top and bottom?

My new phone only let's me take pictures with a black band across the top and bottom instead of the whole screen, does anyone know how to change this?

Uneven black splotches encroaching on screen from top and bottom

My screen recently began showing some white patches at the bottom, but black splotches forming a line at the top and bottom have appeared today--it looks as if some dark liquid had seeped under the screen from both edges. It has not been in contact with any liquids. Is anyone familiar with this problem? Thanks

Thanks. Actually, I now know it is some kind of moisture, though I don't know how it got under my screen. The G4 had been sitting on my desk unused for 5 days. Once I started using it again, I found that the splotches on the bottom of the screen disappeared over course of a day. Today I set my G4 on a table upside down with the screen hanging over the side. Within 15 minutes splotches started to seep in from the bottom again. I live in the tropics, and will go to a Mac service center to find out if the problem is common here (it's the first I've seen of it in 2 years), and how to deal with it.
