Colored blocks on the bottom of clips

Can anyone tell me what the colored blocks are at the bottom of these clips? I didn't import the clips so can't give you any information on what it was shot on or how it was imported but it was an HD tapeless camera.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mazza

This looks like overscan, which is a portion of the video image that is normally not visible on a display. You can crop it out if necessary.
The background explanation is that the full image as it appears visually on a TV is actually not the full video image. There is a portion of the image, on the edges, that is normally hidden by the bezel of the TV. This area is called the overscan area. Sometimes the overscan area is used to convey extra data; sometimes it shows up in video that is transferred from one device to another. In my experience it most often shows up in analog video that is digitized.
You could just go ahead and edit as is (or at least a test portion) and see if it is still visible in the final video (that is, after being exported from FCE). If it's still visible, you might consider cropping it out.
It would help to know exactly what the origin of the video is and anything that may have been done to the video before you got it. Also, what your sequence settings are.

Hi,
You might have the WiFi + 3G version of the iPad.
This means you can put a SIM card into the iPad and get the internet where you get mobile coverage.
Does the black box you mentioned look like this: http://images.apple.com/ipad/specs/images/ipad_3g_20110302.png

Why is there a grey block on the bottom of my screen in safari and i cant see the top of my screen in full screen mode?

When I put the window into full screen mode a gray block appears across the bottom of the screen. Thus the top of any given web page is truncated upward and I cannot access anything...But if I minimize the view what was once unavailable reappears.
Is there a way to get rid of this gray block?

Provide computer and OS version info and maybe we can help. Phone and iOS stuff tells us nothing useful.

Apply color correction to the sequence, not clip

Is it possible to select all clips in the sequence, then apply color corrector, or brightness/contrast filter _with a specific setting_ to the whole sequence?
Currently when I select all in the sequence, apply a correction through effects > video ... etc, then change a setting, it will only change the setting one clip from the sequence.
I know it is possible to work around this and do it with one clip and then paste attributes, but if there's another way, please let me know.
Thank you!

Michel,
That's a great idea, why didn't I think of that? Thank you for your fast reply, I got it near instantly on the iPhone and was laughing at how simple and smart a solution you had!

My photosmart 8250 prints the headings & color blocks on the diagnostic pages, but not the text.

My photosmart 8250 suddenly stopped printing ( I have Windows 7). The cartridges have ink & there are no error mssgs. The self-test disgnostic prints the headings, borders & color blocks, but not the text under each heading. I ran the diagnostic utility & it said there were too many print jobs (?) and I cancelled them as directed.I re-ran the test & It said there were no problems found. But it still isn't printing. I went to the control panel and ran THAT diagnostic & it said it found some problem with the USB connection, but that it was resolved. But, it STILL won't print. I tried everything the diagnostic utility suggested - uninstalled and reinstalled the updated software & driver, restarted the computer, etc. and it still won't print.

Applying color corrections to the original video clips?

How do I apply the same colour corrections I have made to video clips in PremierPro CS5.5, to the original video clips? Is there a way to save the clips from PremierPro to apply the same changes to the original avchd clips?

You would have to export with the correction applied.
These become "Intermediates"

I have a little white block on the bottom left corner of the firefox dropdown menu button that has no function. I have checked with friends and other computers and they don't appear to have the same issue.

the button is still functional it's just a small white square with a black dot in it. I can't really say any more

I had that problem too. The square went away when I disabled the FoxTab (v 1.4.1) extension. It says on the website that its for Firefox 3, but other than the white square it worked fine on my FF4.

Weird White text at the bottom and in the search bar of iTunes

So my iTunes (ver.10) somehow has a weird white colored text at the bottom where it tells you what your song count, days, and gigabytes in your library are? And the text is a super light gray in the search box in the upper right hand corner...what the heck? Does anyone know how to change this?

Thanks so much!

Either the iPhone has crashed in some way to cause it to corrupt badly enough to need restoring to work (either hardware issue or software corruption) or it has been connected while holding down the Home button.
Try resetting the handset (Hold Home & Power together for 15secs until Apple appears) and if it still goes back to recovery mode it means there's a major software issue or a hardware fault

Is there a way to change to different colors on the bottom behind the apps?

I want to know if there is a way to change the background color behind the apps at the bottom of the screen and in the folder with multiple apps in it.

The color in both of these areas is a fogged version of the background wallpaper image behind the area. If you want something different choose a different wallpaper.

I cant add anymore video to my unfinished movie. I can no longer see my clips at the bottom. What do I do?

I can't add anymore video clips to my unfinished IMovie! The clips at the bottom (my imported movies) are now not visible (gray). I can view them when I scroll over them. Why cant I add more?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

How to add a rectangle color frame for the video clips ?

Hi there,
I have shrink the 3 video clips small enough to fit all 3 of them into 1 screen.
And now I want tomake a border rectangle color frame for these 3 video clips.
Any tips on how I shall start ?
Thanks & regards
Cheers

I have a feeling it can't be done because the border will probably go round the original full size video.
A workaround would be to use the Custom generator to make a rectangle which you resize and put above the background.
Then put your video you want framed on top of the lot and resize it so that a bit of the coloured Custom generator is showing all the way round.
It's gonna be fiddly but simple enough in theory!
Thanks Ian, that was a good idea.
But my cropped video clip is a video clip being color-keyed (ie my video clip has alpha channel & the background is transparent). So putting a colour image behind the clip does not work because it will be seen through the alpha channel.
Any tips ?
Thanks

HT1711 At the bottom of the itunes main page, the colored bar graph indicates what amount of media i have on my iphone. What does"other" stand for?!

can anyone tell me at the bottom of the itunes main screen, on the color graph what does "other' mean?

It is whatever does not fit in the remaining categories.
Could be app data, contacts, calendars, favorites, recents, etc

How do you change the background color not of the video clip, but the background the clip is on?

How do you change the background color upon which the clip resides...
I don't want to change anything within the clip itself, but the matte(?)
from black to white or cream.
I am working with Elements 10...

Create a color matte of the desired color and place it on video track 1. Then place your video on track 2.
from here: Adobe Premiere Elements Help | Creating specialty clips
Create a colored matte for a background
You can create a clip consisting of a full‑frame matte of solid color, which you can use as a solid background for titles or animated clips.
Brightly colored mattes can serve as temporary backgrounds to help you see transparency more clearly while you adjust a key effect.
Click Project Assets.
In the Project Assets panel, click New Item from the panel options and choose Color Matte.
Choose a color in the Adobe Color Picker dialog box, and click OK.
A color matte clip is placed into both the Project Assets panel and the Expert view timeline.
