Centering flash movie top and bottom in dreamweaver?

Hi all, I'm a novice user of dreamweaver.
I've placed a flash movie in dreamweaver and centered it left
and right but how can I center it top and bottom so it
floats?

Not too sure what you mean exactly by "so it floats." But
I'll hazard a
guess that you want your video to appear inside a
semi-transparent lightbox
that appears to float over the page content beneath it. If
so, have a look
at FloatBox.

Flicker/flash in top and bottom when adding the "Gaussian" effect to clip.

I get a flicker/flash on the top and bottom of one of the clip where I have added the "Gaussian" effect. A "white - black - white - black" flash. This happened just to one of many clips with the same gaussian effect.
It seems as if the flash happens on every other frame.
Anyone know how to fix this?
I tried taking screenshots of the clip/flash - but it did not show that well in the picture..

Couple of ways to go this. Simple way make the clip a compound clip and apply the letterbox to the compound. Open the compound and do the straightening and rotating inside the compound.

IMovie is outputting my movie with big black bars at top and bottom that I don't want

Quicktime: Ver 10.3
iMovie: Ver 10.0.5
OS: OS X Ver 10.9.4
So, let me try and explain...
I have recorded gameplay footage of my game directly from my Mac screen using Quicktime's Record Screen option. I've tried recording both in fullscreen mode (with my game also running in fullscreen mode) and a section of the screen by dragging the mouse to select a 640X960 box (with my game running in windowed mode which is displayed at 640x960 resolution).
This initial recording direct from the screen displays fine, both when I view it in windowed mode and when I view it fullscreen, with the height of the game stretching to the full height of the video area but obviously with big black borders to either side in fullscreen mode (as it's basically iPhone ratio in portrait mode).
WindowedFullscreen
This ^^^ is how they should look.
The problem is when I try to import the movie into iMovie, mess around with some fade-ins and music and stuff and then output the edited movie via iMovie...
When I then try to view this outputted movie in windowed mode on certain sites (Kickstarter) my game footage doesn't take up the full height of the video and instead floats in the middle with big black bars at the top and bottom, which I don't want. It's fine when I go fullscreen but the problem is that when I load this video into Kickstarter it shows the non-fullscreen view of the video with this big black border and it looks really amateur.
This is what Kickstarter shows in windowed mode i.e. the way you see Kickstarter videos by default when you press Play; unless I go fullscreen and then it takes up the full heigh of the view.
Note: Windowed mode actually looks fine when viewed directly on my Mac but I know it's not Kickstarter that is causing the issue because I can see in the thumbnail preview on my Mac that the video is somehow encoded with the big black bars at the top and bottom. Also, I uploaded the unedited videos to Kickstarter just to check and they display fine. So it's definitely iMovie that is adding these annoying black borders at the top and bottom for whatever reason (and I'm not intentionally scaling the video down in iMove or anything like that as far as I know). I also can't use the unedited footage however because it has no sound and no transitions etc.
Does anyone know what night be causing this and how to get rid of it.

You are lucky to see anything - iMovie 5 is not really compatible with Snow Leopard, which only supports iMovie 6 and above.
Snow Leopard only runs on Intel Macs. iMovie 5 was never written, AFAIK, for Intel, just for the PPC Macs they had in those old days!

Firefox upon opening an image in a new tab, centers the image from top and bottom and surrounds the image with a grey frame. Just started having the problem today, searched Google to no avail.

Oh wow, looks like a new feature.
The "page" links in a stylesheet with the address "resource://gre/res/TopLevelImageDocument.css". If you remove that reference, then the image displays in the old style.
'''''Edit: Please skip the rest of this post and check out the next one.'''''
There might be a more elegant solution than that, but you could use a bookmarklet to strip out that link when you want to view the page in its old style. A bookmarklet is a snippet of JavaScript you save on the Bookmarks toolbar for quick access.
First, copy the following code to the clipboard (it's all one long line):
<br>javascript:var ssheet=document.querySelector('link[href="resource://gre/res/TopLevelImageDocument.css"]'); if(ssheet)ssheet.parentNode.removeChild(ssheet); void 0;
Next, if you are not displaying the Bookmarks Toolbar, use View > Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbar to display it. (If you aren't using the classic Menu bar, press Alt+v to call up the old View menu. Right-clicking the gray area just below the page address also allows you to display the Bookmarks Toolbar.)
Right-click on the Bookmarks Toolbar (or Mac equivalent of right-click!) and choose New Bookmark.
Paste the code into the Location box (the second box).
Then type a useful name in the Name box (e.g., Oldstyle Picture) and click Add.
Now, when you want to tweak the image display, click the button to run the script.
Manual clicking is a hassle, so it might make sense to look into other solutions. (Greasemonkey didn't seem to work; I think it might not run on .jpg files.)

How to crop a QuickTime movie to delete black top and bottom areas?

How to crop a QuickTime movie? I mean, a ".mov" movie that shows a black area on top and bottom, which I want to delete.
I have tried with iMovie 8.0.5, yet its "Window - Cropping..." to fit, crop and Ken burns does not allow to select the area that I want, which is extra wide.
Thanks.

How to crop a QuickTime movie? I mean, a ".mov" movie that shows a black area on top and bottom, which I want to delete.
Basically, you have two options. 1) You can use an application like MPEG Streamclip (free) which allows you to reset the top/bottom/left/right screen edges (i.e., crop the active viewing area) and then re-compress the remaining content as a new file (as recommended by QTKirk) or 2) if you have QT Pro, you can simply "mask" the player display which crops the display screen to the desired mask dimension and location within the original area. The advantage of the latter work flow is not having to re-compress the file which can be very time consuming. Since the latter method may seem confusing to some, I have prepared a "quickie" tutorial which may be able to "talk" you through the process:

Why does the top and bottom of my clips get cut off?

Hi, I'm new to iMovie and I've encountered an annoying problem. I imported all my movie files from my flash drive without any issues. I dragged a clip from the section with all the clips to the play reel. I previewed the clip, both normal screen and full screen, and both times the top and bottom of the clip was cut off. I tried it again with different clips but the same thing kept happening? Can anyone tell me why this happens because my head keeps getting cut off and I don't like it one bit.

First, you can go into File/Project Preferences and adjust the aspect ratio of your project to either widescreen (16:9) or standard (4:3), to match your footage.
You can combine footage that is widescreen and standard in the same project. In this case, you have to tell imovie how to handle the clips that do not fit the overall project aspect ratio. To do this, you can select a clip in your project and use the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool. If you select FIT, it will preserve the whole frame by inserting black bars (letterboxing). If you select CROP it will cut off the top and bottom. You can select the default for this in Project Properties.

Ghosting from top and bottom of the workspace edges when moving around workspace?

When I move around the workspace dark grey slightly transparent bars appear to be ghosting from the top and bottom of the workspace. If I move so they go off screen they disappear but more are made as I move around. Tried restarting Illustrator and my laptop, I have the newest version of Illustrator CC.
*Update - It appears to only happen in my one file, when an image I'm drawing over is put on a lower opacity. If I have it opaque there's no weird line ghosting, but as soon as I make it more transparent the lines start appearing.

All I am doing is the following:
import my mov file that is 1024 x 820
create a sequence that is 1024 x 768
export the sequence
I made a video showing the steps (very boring, sorry).
I'm sure there is something simple I'm missing. i'm 99% sure my result is wrong from the looks of it in the movie player.
here is the video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5wjs8p3v0sjh8uv/livewriterdemo_fromcamtasia_final.mov

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.

I have all my clips with an extra edge around the top and bottom I want to remove

As you can see from the image below, I have all my source videos recorded at 1024x820. I want to, using Premiere clip this to 1024x768 removing some from both the top and bottom. I'll have hundreds of clips of this shape (1024x820) I will import into premiere. Is there some kind of transformation I can do that will clip the top and bottom so that my exports come out at 1024x768? I don't want to shrink the full picture, I want to clip the top and bottom edges cleanly.

Black lines at top and bottom of quicktime

idvd is adding black lines to the top and bottom of my 4:3 quicktime movies... i wouldn't mind so much except that it is adding more at the top than the bottom and looks funny on a regular t.v. screen... any ideas...?

You might try the "fix-all" fix: close iDVD, delete the iDVD preference file, com.apple. iDVD.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iDVD and see if that helps.

Small black bars on the top and bottom on video after exporting?

I'm using 1280x720 video footage in Adobe Premiere. The problem is, whenever I export my finished project as 1280x720, the newly rendered file has small black bars on the top and bottom.
These black bars are not there in the Premiere preview, only after the project is rendered.
The video file created after export is still 1280x720(16:9).
Is there any way to get rid of these black bars, as they are quite irritating because I make youtube videos regularly.

FAQ: How do I get rid of black bars around my movie?

Getting a split screen on you tube.Same video shown top and bottom.

A green bar separates top and bottom video with same video showing.

Try to update the graphics display card driver.
You can also disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

My task bar top and bottom aren't showing?

I was watching movies through my itunes last night and now my screen saver and the bar on top and bottom of my screen saver page aren't showing, just a black screen. And, also when I try to reply to an email in my Mail, the response shows up behind my mail page, so I don't actually know it has responded until I clear my Mail screen away. Usually, when I do an email response it shows up on the original email?

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.

Top and bottom bars

Hello... im learning flash and i'd like to know how can i
make upper and lower bar for a website, considering that it's texts
stick to corners when u resize window or change resolution, like
these
samsungexperience.com.br
compactstudios.com
For example, in the first site, the buttons stick to lower
left corner, while the copyright info sticks to the right one and,
when u resize or change resolution, only the space between then
changes.
Thanks in advance

HI
With respect to the Samsung site, the entire site is in a swf
including the top and bottom bars.
Take a look at the HTML Source in your browser, you'll see
they've created a DIV with releative positioning based on the size
of the browser window. There is also a resize function to update
the relative position of the DIV with respect to the window size.
All very simple really.
Hope it helps
