Do the edges of a video get cut-off when added to an iMovie project?

When I view a video clip from the events library it fits in the viewer screen perfectly, i.e., the entire image appears on the screen. After adding the video clip to my project, when I play the video from the project, the edges appear to have been cut-off, i.e., my giraffe has no head. Do I need to resize the original video file? How?

Thanks for the idea. I found a solution to my problem in another discussion between KimsAZmac and AppleMan1958. If you use stabilization the image is made larger so it doesn't fit in the viewer. The solution is to turn off stabilization or use the slider on clip adjustments so the image fits the screen.
Problem solved.

Titles get cut off when playing after the burn

The title created in the movie are too wide and get cut off when playing it in a DVD player into a TV. Is there a setting I should use before burning?
Any help is appreciated.

You should turn on the TV Safe Area and make sure that everything that you care about is within this area. Anything outside the area is subject to the over-scan of TV sets.

Text getting cut off when printing to PDF from Excel

Hello,
     I've seen a lot related to this subject but nothing that shows a real solution.
     Using Excel 2003-sp3 and Adobe Acrobat v.9 Standard, the right half of the last character in the string gets cut off. It prints from excel fine.
     It's not always the text that is the right-most on the page either. An affected PDF file is attached - note the cut off "S" on the last line (NET ASSETS OF GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES).
     Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks,

Bottom margin gets cut off when I try to print

bottom margin gets cut off when I try to print

Not being able to check it out on Pages 5 I have tosay how it works in Pages 4 (09). When Show Layout is checked/on you should see a grey border which is the area that the printer can't print on. Do you see a grey boder in your Pages 5?
If you need a smaller margin on your document than the printer seems being able to do check if you don't hae a "borderless" option for the paper sizr you use. You check it in File > Page Setup
Also go to HP and check if there is a newer printer driver if yours has some years on it.
I hope this will help you

DVD video gets cut off, but preview shows dvd as good

Having a problem getting my video to output from dvd burning without getting cut off.
Computer is Win xp pro, 3gb ram, 2.33ghz cpu, 40gb free hd space
Using Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0.2.
I have video which I've recorded from my Sanyo xacti 720p avc camera, which records in mpeg4 format. I've converted the video(s) to mpeg 1,2 for dvd using my "Need4 Video Converter 5.9". At first I tried putting several mpeg1's into my premeire project, then I also merged all the video files into one, but still had the same problem.
I put the video(s) into my premiere project, added some titles on the other video track. Also added some music on another audio track. So, the total size of the videos is about 3.5gb. I preview my project it looks great, I added some dvd scenes and used a nice template with scene selection and captions..the works. Now I try to burn it several ways, to a dvd, to a file folder on high or low settings, but everytime I only end up with about 1.5gb of data, and 25 mins of video, so it is cut off. My original video is an hour and 50 mins.
The encoding takes about 3 hrs after I hit burn. No errors or anything.
So, I cannot understand what I need to do. I don't want to convert to a smaller or lower format, bcz I dont' want to lose quality. I'm at a loss bcz I've tried so many different formats and combinations, let this stuff run for so many hours this past weekend, and still can't get it to work. Is there some kind of setting I'm missing? Something in premiere?
I've read some best practices on the forum, and I understand to use bit rate of 7mbs or less, and to burn on slow speed. Is it at all bcz I'm burning it to my hard drive? but i don't think this is my issue. is it the old software? it came with my Sanyo camera, so I would think its good enough.
Please help if you can. I was thinking my next shot might be to convert it down to a much smaller size, and maybe it will fit(but quality may be an issue). Thanks in advance. -Ron

Ron,
Yes, PE is a scaled down version of P-Pro, but also has some additional features, plus an easier way of doing many things, that its "big brother" does not. As to the ability to Export/Share frame sizes, I think that most are included in PE (would have to open each and explore precisely to tell you if it's all there). I do not think that this is your issue.
As to the conversion, I'd step back to your original footage, Sanyo MP4, right? Unless Sanyo is using a proprietary CODEC to create the MP4's, you *should* be able to Open these files in QuickTime and play them. If you have QuickTime Pro (costs about US$30 to upgrade to "Pro), you *should* be able to Export and choose DV-AVI as your Export setting. Note: the term ".AVI" can mean so very many things. What you want is DV-AVI. This is the "native" format for PE - what it converts all other file formats to, to edit. The quality loss going with this format can be measured in a lab, but is almost totally impossible to see on any TV with the human eye. Doing this will likely enhance your entire editing experience.
As for quality and conversions and compression, your camera has already done one conversion, when it wrote to MP4. You cannot get around that. Conversion to DV-AVI will be "virtually" lossless, though the file size WILL increase. The reason is that with MP4, not all "frames" exist with full content - part of its compression. With DV-AVI each "frame" will exist with full content. Be prepared for LARGE files, but files with all of the info.
Then, when you Burn to DVD, you WILL recompress your data to MPEG-2 format, the DVD standard. You will loose some quality there, but it cannot be avoided. It is how DVD's hold their Audio & Video data.
I still do not have any ideas that would directly affect your movie not burning completely. If the Duration of your movie has exceeded the capacity of a DVD-5, you would/should get an error message to that effect. You do not.
One thing to go back and look for in your original Project's Timeline would be "gaps" in the Video. These can cause problems (or sometimes not). I zoom my Timeline way up, and use the PageUp & PageDn keys to "step" through the various Clips. The CTI (Current Time Indicator - that little doobie that marks where you are on the Timeline) should move in a linear fashion from Clip to Clip. If you see it pause, or hiccup, then zoom WAY in to the max and study the Timeline there. Are all Clips butted up to each other? Now, you can have Clips on Video Tracks above #1, that would allow you to have "gaps" in the Video on VT 1. That is OK, but if you have any spots on the Timeline, where there is NO Video, you'll likely want to fix these. You can close up the gaps by moving the Clips, so that they do butt up, or if you want "black" there, just go to the New icon and choose Black Video. Size it to fit the gap, and you will be fine. You can also extend the Clip before the gap, or after the gap, if that does not mess up your editing. Several choices and each should be based on what you want to have happen. If you find a bunch of gaps (even one can be deadly) try to Export/Burn again. Note: I've seen one 1-frame gap cause problems, but just had to re-edit a Project where I fixed 900+ gaps, and that Project had already Burned 4 DVD's. Go figure.
Last thing to look at would be to hit the "\" key in Timeline mode. This will zoom out to show the full Timeline. Do you have anything stuck out by itself, past where you thought the end was? This should yield other problems, but not the one you are experiencing. Still, who knows? It's also a good thing to do, when you believe you are done, just to check that something didn't get "orphaned" out beyond where one normally looks on the Timeline.
Good luck,
Hunt
[Edit] 01:50 is longish for a DVD-5. You will not be able to set a very high bit-rate (Quality slider), but you should still get the full Timeline, or an error message.

Videos getting cut off

Why do my margins get cut off when I right click print, but not when I open my document and print?

When I right click print (without opening the document) my margins get cut off, but if I actally open my pdf document and click print, it will print just fine. This only happens when the document has print that is close to the edge.
I am using Adobe 10.1.2 with Windows 7.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts and help

As for your comment on this being my first Mac, and the program issue, you misunderstood. Yes the eMac is in fact my first, personally owned, Mac computer other than the original Apple II series floppy fed PC, in which me and my father owned. The only other Apple/Macintosh computer I had experience on was my father's 13" MacBook Pro, and 20" iMac (both ran OSX Tiger 10.4.11, just as the one I have know runs). The iMac was upgraded to Snow Leopard due to our need for better picture/video/audio editing software such as that of Adobe, and the Macbook Pro was sold because of a business that was started being siphoned out of money. I purchased the eMac from a small business based off of eBay. It had the majority of OSX Tiger software, only missing minor programs like Photobooth. Other than that, it had no wireless software like BlueTooth, Wi-Fi capabilities, wireless sync, ect... But alas, when you buy a Apple/Mac computer, you must take a few cutbacks when purchasing it (even refurb.) for around $120.00 including taxing, shipping, handling, ect... I purchased nearly all of my software from co-workers and friends who had an extra key, or I would receive the software disc from them, and buy a key. The only "illegal" thing I had on the computer was music I had downloaded from LimeWire. I have never, and will never, trust any software coming from a torrent download site.

Brochure template right-side edge gets cut off when printed

its horizontal set-up, 8.5x11.0. but on both my printers (both HPs) the right edge gets cut off. how can I manipulate the doc to a smaller size without making the formating go cattywampus?
comments are hidden (that helped a little)

With my DeskJet there is an option to "scale down" a document to fit the page. Do yours offer that?
Also, I apologize if this idea is too hokey, depending upon the nature and extent of your printing project, but would it be acceptable to set up your printer for legal-size paper and then trim the hardcopies?

CS5 Text still gets cut off when using filters

In Flash CS4, I encountered a strange bug where text would get cut off if there were any filters applied to the text box. I was so excited for CS5, because I had heard that bug was fixed. Now I see that it is not.
I'm using Classic Text in an Actionscript 2.0 file. Here's a screenshot to demonstrate what I mean. The top line is text with no filters applied. The middle line is text inside a movie clip, with filters applied to the movie clip. The bottom line is text with a drop shadow filter applied directly to the text box. Why does it cut off the end of the text???
Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi,
You can set the Cangrow property of the textbox to true which allows to grow your textbox and is default for any text box unless you have changed it.

How do I get my watermark not to get cut off when printing from aperture?

When I export an image that I have put my watermark on and print it the water mark gets cut off in the printing

Aperture should scale watermarks down to fit the exported image. Perhaps it is scaling to one dimension and not both?
Have you tried resizing your watermark? I suggest creating a watermark for each commonly used export size. I use a wide and not tall watermark, in these widths (in pixels):
- 320
- 640
- 1024

Text gets cut off when exported to PDF

When I export my report to PDF some of my text gets cut off where it would meet the right edge of the text box by 1 or 2 letters.
This only happens when I export to PDF through my web application or when I export it throught the Report Manager URL
If I export it on my local copy of SSRS then it shows up fine without the text getting cut off

Urgent: left and right cut off when dragging entire clip to project

When I right click the clips in the event library and click "Select entire clip" and drag that to the project window, the left and right sides of the video are cut off. If I select only a single clip and drag that up or a portion of a clip, it looks ok. I need to get this thing done in an hour or so and I am baffled because there are people in this video that are being cut off! Help!

Actually, the more I look at it, the entire frame is cropped, even though I have "Initial Video Placement" set to fit in frame, not crop. The quality really gets lousy too when dragging them in. I am baffled why dragging a single clip fits the entire video, but dragging the entire clip series gets cropped...??

Strokes on appearance is getting cut off when exporting for web & Devices

I'm a screen print artist using Adobe Illustrator CS5 in windows 7(blah!) to export images of our customers' artwork into a huge folder of images on a server. The images are then loaded into a program so that they can be viewed company-wide and by the customer.
Occasionally, when there is an appearance applied to text it seems to cut off the tops and/or bottoms of the outermost stroke.This seems to be only happening to text, and happens randomly and is very annoying. See the image attached.
it does this with both JPEG and PNG images, and whats more, changes when you adjust the image size. it either gets better or worse. I have to change the image size on every export so that they are all within our size requirements.
I have found that if you put the art into an envelope with all the settings at 0 and then export for web it prevents this from happening. However, that isn't very efficient as i need to be moving a ton of artwork a day, and I am not the only person who may be working on the Illustrator file.
Is there any setting either in illustrator or windows that may be causing this anomaly?

Try adding:
Effect >> Path >> Outline Object
So your type will still be editable
If that does not work you may want to:
Type: Create Outline
I only had this problem once before, on some snickerdoodle cookies package, and that was a script font. Might be related to the font you use.

16:9 video sides cut off when exported from After Effects

When I export a 16:9 video from After Effects, the sides are cut off in the exported clip. I've tried different export settings and and my composition settings are correct, from what I can tell. Does anyone know why this could be happening?
Thanks!

and my composition settings are correct, from what I can tell.
But are they really? We cannot know, because you don't say anything about your exact render settings and comp settings, which is what is required here. You could be using an unsuitable CoDec or even crop your output inadvertently by using a specific output module setting....
