Exporting movie I get a smaller video enclosed into a black frame

I don't understand why, when I make "export movie" for a clip in motion, I get always a smaller video enclosed into a black frame...
What I miss??

I know you're talking about Motion 5 - I'm trying to find out if you still have Motion 4 (or earlier) installed?
Ok - those look like export settings, and I don't have any of the ones you list after Uncompressed — interesting. What I'm talking about are the Project Presets (Motion > Preferences > Presets pane)
All the presets with the lock icons are the defaults and that last one is a custom preset I made for 30fps.
Anyway - I had that same problem of the black border around exported video in Motion 4 and I believe Motion 5 will share the presets from Motion 4 if you had it installed at some point. The black border, from what I understand, was supposed to be a region of "overscan" that is typically used in television broadcast and would not have been seen over broadcast. Motion 5 doesn't seem to add the overscan which is what is leading me to suspect that Motion 4 is involved still. So, if you did have Motion 4, try going to:
~user/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Studio/Motion/Presets/
and zip the Project folder to back it up, and toss the Project folder in the trash. Restart Motion 5. You will lose your custom presets in Motion 4, but for some reason, trashing the old presets folder fixed other issues with Motion 5. If that doesn't work, you can restore the old presets.
I just ran a test out of motion 4 with Broadcast HD 1080/60i preset and the Info I get back in quicktime is:
You can see where the format is 1920x1080 (1888x1062) actual size in parentheses. I did the same test in M5 with the broadcast HD 1080 preset and it came back 1920x1080 actual... I guess you can draw your own conclusions. And, I may not know what the **** I'm talking about!! Since Apple Pro video apps use Core Video, it might just be an OS thing, so maybe you should consider which OS you're running as well. It's been at least a couple of years since I had to deal with the problem. My workaround in Motion 4 was to create Custom presets that duplicated the features of the standard presets for 1920 x 1080 square pixels and an aspect ratio of 1.00.

Downloaded a movie from iTunes to my iPad. 2 minutes into the movie it stopped and My Videos is stuck in black screen mode. So basically rented a movie and never watched it.

The EXACT same thing happened to me last night! Rented a movie; it had barely started and then froze. When I touch the video app icon, all I get is a blank, dimly lit screen. None of the other videos I own will display either. Was your problem ever resolved?

My video is into a black square

I created a video in AE CC, 1920 x 1080. When I use AE for generating the video it looks well. But I use Adobe Media Encoder CC. Some times my video appears into a black square, and some times not. Whats wrong ?

I can't get audio or video files into iTunes from my computer. Please help!

Using Windows 7: My wife and I have seperate iTune accounts in our respective computer profiles. In my profile and iTune account, everything works fine. In my wife's account, she's always being asked to sign into iTunes as an administrator. Also, her account will not allow her to transfer music or video files into iTunes by drag and drop. If I click on "Add File to Library" or "Add Folder To Library", It will add the file but double it in the process so there are two of everything. And to make matters worse, when iTunes open in her profile, it changes the color of the Windows theme. Someone PLEASE help me. Thank you.

Am I correct in saying that the file is on your computer? Is it in a format that iTunes recognises?
If so, open iTunes, click on the small icon in the top left of the iTunes window and select Add File to Library. Navigate to the folder where the file is located and select it, click on Open. The song is now in your Library, but don't forget that the song's title, artist etc. will reflect the information within the file. So if the file did not have a song title or artist, it will appear in your iTunes as something like "Track 01", by "Unknown Artist".

Export .mov files compatible for Google Video

I upgraded to QTpro so I could post my imovies to the new Google Video in the mp4 format. No problem, except GV wants the audio as an mp3 file. iTunes uses it, why not QT? Did I waste my money? How can I do this, export as an mp4 video, with mp3 audio?

I just looked at the new Google Video upload and specifications.
It seems they'll take almost any video formats (even .mov and .wmv).
I don't think they know much about MPEG-4 formats or what an .mp3 file really is.
The .mp3 "format" is really part of the old MPEG-1 specs (MPEG-1 Layer 3).
A properly encoded .mp4 file would not use such an ancient audio setting.
They are also asking for video uploads in the MPEG-2 format. Most computers don't have the needed software to even play these files.
I think Google should edit their pages and clear up this confusion.
You should upload your .mp4 file because at least it conforms to industry standards.

Getting the widescreen video format WITHOUT the black letterbox

Hi,
I'm making a website and trying to put up a video with a format similar to this website - www.born2consult.com
I'm using a regular DV camera (which has the 16x9) format.
My problem is that I shot my video in 16x9 format but when I import it, then export it from iMovie, the black letterbox is still part of the video. But as you can see from the website I linked from above, I don't want that letterbox.
So is there a way to get rid of this letterbox?
- Should I be shooting in regular 4:3 format, or 16x9 format?
- Does iMovie even allow this capability?
- If not, how do I do it in final cut pro?
Thanks everyone.

This is the iMovie 5 forum. If you are running that you may get problems as it is largely incompatible with Leopard.
In iMovie 6 you should set preferences for the project as DV Widescreen and NOT check the box 'automatic letterboxing & pillarboxing'.

Export GoPro Hero 4 2.7K video as 1080p leaves black bar on rendered video

Hi,
I want to downscale and export some videos I shot with my Go Pro Hero4 Black at 2.7K resolution (2704x1520) to 1920x1080 with premier Pro CC. Every time I do (I have tried different render settings and codecs) I always end up with a thin black line across the very bottom bottom of the video. Anyone know how I can scale the video to fit 1920x1080 without this thin black line appearing?

Even if you shoot at 2.7K or 4K and put it in a timeline, render it out at 1080p you will see better results than shooting at 1080p. I shoot in 4K with the goPro Hero 4 black and the GH4. 4K is great.
I thought apple would allow us to export 4K from iMovie 10.0.06 but you can only share a 4K clip in the browser not the entire project. hopefully this is just an update away.
FCPX is the way to go with 4K.

How to get iPhone 4s Videos back into Camera Roll?

I need the exact same file with no compression back into camera roll. It was a video that I recorded with my iPhone 4s and accidentally deleted after backing it up to my iMac. I don't want the file to be compressed. I want the original back into Camera Roll. I am using Mountain Lion with everything updated. Even my iPhone has the most up to date iOS.
P.S. Let me make it clear that I do not want the videos to go into the videos app. I NEED it in Camera Roll. Thank you so much for your help.

The only way to do this is to restore your phone from a backup that contains the deleted video.

Exporting .Mov files at 24fps for Final Cut Pro 5

I work at an animation production house and we're trying to export .mov files from QT 7.1.2 at 24fps so they won't have to be rendered in a FCP project which is a 720p project with a frame size of 1280x720, we're experimenting with two codecs. We're using Motion Jpeg A and Photo Jpeg, selecting 24fps but for some reason they import into FCP 5 at 10fps. It's as though QT isn't outputting accurate 24fps .mov files. When I export .mov files from FCP they import back into FCP without having to be rendered. What's the difference between the ones exported from QT vs. the .mov files exported from FCP. We're using the exact same settings and files....? The reason we need to use QT to do this is because it needs to be a somewhat automated process (lots of stills to work with) and our PA's are working on Windows with QT only.

You should post your inquiry at Final Cut Pro section for better support. Anyway, Final Cut Pro does not always recognize the frame rate correctly, depending on which application (and possibly which codec) you used to compress video. For example, Snapz Pro X and Adobe After Effects don't get along with Final Cut Pro in this respect. Furthermore, compressing video in H.264 will be a bad idea. So simply adjust the size of Canvas so that it won't cover the whole screen. In this way, you can even replay video on Canvas and even send it for final production.

Why are exported movies letterboxed?

I'm looking at the video clips I imported into my computer, and they are the same aspect ratio as my screen, filling it up when I choose to play it in Full Screen. However, once I put the video in Premiere and then export it, the video becomes letterboxed, both vertically and horizontally, so that when I play Full Screen, the video is smaller and surrounded by a black frame.
Why does it do this? And how do I change it so that it stops letterboxing my movies? Any help would be appreciated.
PS I don't really know if this is still considered letterboxing.

When I started the project I just took whatever the default settings were, which as I'm checking now is NTSC-DV-Standard 48kHz. I'm looking more into it since you suggested this, so I'll let you know if I find anything else.
As for how I got the video. It's from my Canon Vixia HG20. I imported them to my computer first, and then used Premiere to take the files that were already in my computer. As I stated in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3360868#3360868 , I couldn't import directly from the camcorder to Premiere.

Test / Export Movie Error

CS3 Flash. Just installed. When I go to Test movie or Export
Movie I get this error:
Error creating Flash movie file. ....
Locked drive.
I am running Leopard and unlocked my drive in the "get info"
but it automatically locks it again.
Strangest thing that I have seen.
I can export to an external drive but not my hard drive. I
have no problems with previous versions of Flash.
I can although save the movie to my hard drive.
any ideas?

Go into Publish settings and then to the Flash tab and down
at the bottom make sure that "device sounds" isn't checked. Unless
you are publishing for a mobile phone or something like that, you
don't want that checked.
I think…
