Exported video never fills the screen

I am creating a video from still photos, youtube and iPhone videos all mixed together.
When I export the video, the output never fills the screen.
I have specidfied H.264, and HD1080i for the output.
Did I mention that I am a newbee, and just started using Premeire Pro CC two weeks ago?
Thanks for any help you may provide.

Hi Larry,
Since you're mixing 3 different sizes of video, the desired output DOES play an important role from the start and will help determine what Sequence Setting you want to start with.
You have 720p HD videos, SD videos, and "less than SD" video. I would recommend against exporting as 1080 HD unless absolutely necessary for some reason, since you would be "blowing up" ALL of the formats, and that loses quality. The 720p would look ok, but not the other ones!
So at most, I would edit in a 720p30 sequence for 720p delivery. In the Premiere Preferences, there is a checkbox for "Scale to Frame Size" - check that and then any clips that you import will automatically fill the frame you're working in. For clips imported prior to that change, right-click the clip in the sequence and check "Scale to Frame" manually per clip.
Another example, if you wanted to export to DVD which is 720x480, then you would edit as 720x480 so that the SD clip would be edited natively and the smaller clip would upsized a minimum amount. The HD clips will downscale fine. That would yield best results for SD delivery, rather than taking all clips UP to 720p or 1080p, then back down to SD again. Following the workflow?
Thank you

  • How can I make iPhone 4S Video's fill the screen when using them in iMovie 11 on My MacBook Pro

    Hey Guys.
    I am a singer songwriter from he UK.... I recently bought an Iphone4s, Ipad and Mac book pro (haha, apple hero, I know). I have always wanted to make the big jump to apple, just was waiting a little while.
    I am thrilled so far, it's all great. But, I use Imovie (i am still getting to grips with it, but the features are amazing) to make videos of me singing coversand original videos for youtube.
    The Camera on the iphone4s is great.
    But, when I import videos into Imovie11, the videos do not fill the screen in their original form.
    In some videos, I use the Ken Burns effect. Now, on the parts of my video when I use this effect, it fills the screen as it should do.
    Why do the videos in their untampered form not do this?  I have tried importing widescreen, original size, and Large, but it alwys sits in the middle of the screen, fairly thin lookin. It fills the screen when it's on my Iphone, I am very lost.
    plesse help.
    thanks.

    if i can offer any more info please just ask

  • Video image after compressor does not fill the screen

    I am trying to convert some videos from DVD to Apple TV. Frame size is 720 x 480. In FCP 5.1.4 when I view the clip in the viewer it looks fine, widescreen with black bars at the top and the bottom, image touching both the right and left edges of the viewer. In the Canvas, however, with Fit to Window selected it shows as a very small box with a lot of black on all sides.
    After conversion to mp4, it is even worse. In Quicktime player you can see the video window with grey space at the top and the bottom of the image. However, this is just a very small window in a sea of black. I would guestimate that this window is only using 1/9 of the total screen space.
    How can I get the video to fill the screen?

    The issue is the AppleTV setting. I've been working this issue for 4 months and can't figure it out.
    SO...
    I just encode it myself... I use File - Export - QT Conversion - BROADBAND HIGH and set my size in the OPTIONS button to what I want.
    Works great for me. And the AppleTV sees it fine.

  • Unable to get HD Wide Screen 16:9 to fill the screen on TV.

    12/20/08
    Problem: I am not able to get HD Wide Screen 16:9 to fill the screen on TV. Leaves dark bands on the top and bottom of picture.
    What I'm working with: Mac Pro Quad-Core Intel Xeon Processors with 2GB Memory soon to be 6GB & 30 inch screen. QuickTime Pro 7.5.5, Final Cut Express 4.0.1, and iDVD, 7.0.2.
    New JVC, GZ-HD3U camcorder with QuickTime conversion software, recently updated, provided by JVC with the camera to change native TOD. files created in the camcorder to native MPEG2 files in Quicktime at a size of 1920 x 1080.
    Two TV's, one Wide Screen HD and the other standard screen. I have changed the TV aspect rations back and forth from 4:3 to 16:9 and the only thing that changes is the size of the black bands on the top and bottom of the screen. The black spaces are larger in 16:9, making the picture appear squeezed.
    I am using RW DVD discs so I can continue to try different setups without wasting discs and so far I have tried about 12 different arrangements. Two methods work but they are export conversions to a 4:3 aspect ratio and 720X480DV/DVCPRO-NTSC. Certainly this is a work around, but doing this looses the Wide Screen HD effects provided by the original JVC movies.
    When I import the clips, and I've tried a number of different imports from QuickTime to Final Cut Express, I make sure that the Sequence set up matches or comes as close as possible to the imported clips. I've tried exporting them from FCE without changes and I have exported them using QuickTime to change them to different formats using nearly everything available trying to get the clips or sequences ready to import to iDVD.
    In iDVD I have set up using both aspect ratios and it appears as thought setting up in 16:9 makes the spaces above and below even larger on TV. In fact it creates these spaces above and below even on the 720X480DV/DVCPRO-NTSC clips that work just fine on the 4:3 aspect ratio settings on the same TV.
    If anyone has overcome this problem, I would greatly appreciate your guidance. So far, I've spent over a 100 hours on it to no avail.
    Larry

    Tom, I don't know where to go in FCE to create a AVCHD AIC Sequence. I can find the
    1920X1080i60 in the Sequence format without any problem. And in QT don't know where to select AIC but I select Apple Intermediate Codec, and under compressor I select HDV 1080i interlaced frame rate 29.97. Under Export Size Settings I don't know rather to select 1920 x 1080 HD or HD 1920 x 1080 16:9 and what about preserve aspect ratio using and Deinterlace Source Video?
    Part two: When I create a Sequence in FCE with the 1920X1080i60 designation, and then import a QT HD 1920X1080 16:9 Intermediate Codec clip into a bin and then open the clip in that sequence I'm asked if I want to match the clip to the sequence and if I don't I have rendering. If I match them the rendering, as you said, goes away. However, I notice that when I check out the Item Properties on them after the above process, the Aspect ratio in the clip and Sequence, suddenly becomes HD 1440x1080. Is this normal?

  • Apple TV Apps Not Filling The Screen

    When watching ANY app (Netflix, Watch ESPN, etc.) through my Apple TV 3, the video does not fill the screen.  I have about 3 inches on the right and left of my video, even though the videos are in 1080p HD 16:9 aspect.  I understand there are issues of mirroring, but this is happening while watching directly through the Apple TV.  Is there a fix that I am missing?

    It is not the TV, I assure you.  It is a feature of the new software update, along with zero connectivity and other issues described in several other posts.
    "I have all the same issues.  Not enjoying the new update and hoping for a software solution soon.  Restarting every piece of equipment and changing cables to direct hard wiring doesn't help on my setup, so... Hoping for the best.   In fact, mine all say they can't connect to the internet even though every other device in our household is connected, either wirelessly or via hard wire, without issue.
    I can't stream audio or video.  It's awesome.  But, I'm sure Apple will fix it.  It's definitely a software bug to have so many people working fine and then WHAM...
    There appear to be many others with the same issue on here.  "

  • Safari window not filling the screen when launched

    I posted this question in the Safari forum and after a week of waiting and numerous bumps, it went unanswered and completely ignored so I thought I'd post it here. Basically what I am trying to do is have the Safari windows automatically fill the screen so that the scroll bar is at the *extreme* right side of the screen, but it always comes just short of that. The reason why this is important is I want to be able to make one quick swipe of my mouse to the right side of the screen and have the cursor end up over the Safari window's scroll bar. But the windows never open up like that, they open up just short of filling the screen so when I move my mouse to the side, it overshoots the scroll bar which is annoying because I have to drag it there manually every time. How do I fix this?

    Here is how I want it. Notice the scroll bar with no space to its right.
    But here is what it ends up doing. Notice there is now a tiny bit of space to the right of the scroll bar. This tiny space forces me to be careful with the mouse cursor and will not allow me to freely swipe the mouse cursor to the right or it will overshoot the scroll bar. Of course, I can drag the window back to the spot every time I open a new window, but that gets very annoying.

  • I have a football game recorded on a DVD R disc that I was trying to view on my MacBook using DVD Player.  The video comes onto the screen, but immediately freezes, and then disappears.  An error message comes up saying that DVD player unexpectedly quit.

    I have a football game recorded on a DVD+R disc that I was trying to view on my MacBook using DVD Player.  The video comes onto the screen, but immediately freezes, and then disappears.  An error message comes up saying that DVD player unexpectedly quit.  My MacBook operating system is Mac OS X, version 10.5.8.  DVD Player is App version 5.0.3, framework version 5.0.7.
    However, the DVD+R works on both my Dad's and my brother's laptops.  My Dad's laptop is an iBook G4 with Mac OS X operating system, version 10.3.9.  The DVD Player is version 4.0.  My brother's laptop is a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X operating system, version 10.7.2.  The DVD Player is App version 5500.26.1 and framework version 5.5.0.  The DVD+R plays fine on their laptops, but will not play on mine.

    Lao Bo,
    yes, you can locate and copy a file from your HD to a USB key using UNIX commands. If you know the exact name of the file which you’re trying to locate, try this:
    find / -iname filename -print
    This command will search your entire internal disk for the particular filename. If you know that it’s within a particular user account, then you can save search time with this variation:
    find /Users/username -iname filename -print
    Either variation of this command will print all files found which have the given filename. Presuming that you’re able to identify the correct file, you can copy it to a USB key using the command
    cp -p filename_returned_by_find /Volumes/USB_volume
    If you’re not sure which volume name your USB key has, this command will show you what the possibilities are:
    ls /Volumes
    Please let me know if you have any trouble with these commands.

  • How Can I Change the Size of My Home Page So That It Fills the Screen?

    I have a PowerBook G4. Up until a couple of weeks ago when I opened Safari the home page filled the screen. Something has happened and now it fills only a portion of the screen. I can move the page around, change the size slightly by using the green button next to the minimizing button, but nothing I do will enlarge it to fill the screen. I have gone to View and Preferences, but find nothing to resolve this. Please help!

    You're welcome Maureen. Glad I could help.

  • Is it possible to get the image from the i pad when mirroring via Apple TV to fill the screen instead of appearing as a screen within a screen?

    When mirroring, is it possible to get the image from the ipad to fill the screen on the TV instead of appearing as a screen within a screen?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    No, the iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3, a TV has an aspect ratio of 16:9, to fit one into the other is impossible without distorting the picture. If your TV has a zoom feature, you may be able to use this to fill the screen a little more to your liking, but this will result in cropping top and bottom.

  • IPhone IOS 7.1 incoming call picture size now small. How can I get it to fill the screen like before?

    Just had the upgrade to IOS 7.1 and now with an incoming call, the associated picture is just a thumbnail, instead of filling the screen.  Anyone know how to change this?  I tried specifically associating a picture on my phone with a contact and trying it, but still was a thumbnail. 

    This change that Apple made is disconcerting.  It shows that whomever is now in-charge of these decisions at Apple doesn't have what it takes.   There's something seriously missing with this decision and the change to less usability is incredibly misguided.   Who wants their contacts to appear in a little cartoon-like round bubble and the incoming caller can't easily be recognized??   As someone who has used a Mac since 1984, there's something seriously wrong with their design guidance.  Apple likes to create products that "delight" and this doesn't.

  • How to FILL the Screen in iPhoto 11

    I have a 27" iMac.
    I want to FILL the screen in iPhoto like I can with the desktop feature to fill the screen.
    The full-screen option in iPhoto only fills about 2/3 of the 27" monitor with aphoto in landscape [versus portrait] orientation. Less than that with portrait orientation. Obviously, the bigger, the better to see, and I would like to take advantage of my monitor size.

    Welcom3 to the discussions, smbc.
    Although these options exist, an LCD monitor uses real pixels and is really intended to be run at the native (ie maximum) resolution. It will look pretty terrible otherwise.
