Faded Black Bars

Hey guys, I've recently found a way on how to put Black Bars in my videos with a Solid Black LAYER with CC Jaws. Now, every time i'm finished with my project I upload it to youtube, but once I upload it, my Black Bars turn to this : http://prntscr.com/5jrx9x
They get faded, and a small layer of black bars isn't faded. I didn't have this in my other vids, they were perfectly black. I think it's because I keep changing my render settings from time to time. Also this is how it looks when I am in AAE : http://prntscr.com/5jrxwj
If you guys have any suggestions it would really help!

The line do not lead to an image, at least, not behind my corporate firewall. Jaws works as a pillar bar generator but you'd be better off learning how to do it properly with solids.

Premiere Elements 7: share/export DV-PAL in FLV/QT/WMV, black bars on top/bottom

During export (step "share", export for "PC" - sorry, if I use some wrong terms, got a german interface) of only DV-PAL video to FLV/QT/WMV there are always black bars on top/bottom of the video and the picture is wrong in aspect ratio. I can't help.
I tried different resolutions (original 720x576, 502x402, 320x240) and, as only possible with QT/WMV, different pixel aspect ratios (PARs), even user-defined PARs and 'wrong' aspect ratios (like 512x402). No chance. (I think precise user-defined data like "1,094" is not possible, because results did not change anyhow and this value is shown as "1".) With e.g. QT, 640x512, PAR 1,067 there are black bars with 6 px each.
My project settings must be correct I think: DV-PAL, 720x576, 4:3, 25 fps.
DV-PAL- and MPEG-Export/Share is no problem.
As a workaround I export DV-PAL and convert with XMediaRecode to FLV. But I want direct and clean export with PrEl. That's what I bought it for recently.
I wonder why there are only NTSC-setting suggested in FLV-share. I have to change the size by myself.
And I wonder why Wikipedia says PAR for DV-PAL is "1,0940" and Premiere says "1,067".
I'm new to Premiere Elements 7 (although I got some experience with Premiere 5/6.5, FinalCut, Cinelerra ...) using Windows XP.

I posted two videos on muvipix.com:
WMV cable modem settings PrEl (without audio, fps like original)
Strange: in VLC media player there are bars on the left and right (and slight faded bars on top/bottom - hope you can see) and in muvipix.com and Media Player Classic there are bars at top/bottom

http://muvipix.com/cpg/albums/userpics/17219/Unbenannt.wmv
FLV (no resize, without audio, fps like original)
black bars on top/bottom, but only slight in Media Player Classic
http://muvipix.com/cpg/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=17219&pos=1
http://muvipix.com/cpg/albums/userpics/17219/Unbenannt.flv
I had to deactivate sound because this is Creative Commons stuff and I don't want to give credits. And I changed fps to "like original" because 30 fps as standard in PrEl is wrong. It's PAL here.
Thanks for your efforts.

Black bars on iMac? (Late 2006)

Hi,
I've been getting weird black bars on my iMac. They seem to appear when there are alot of applications loaded. Some times they're on the side of windows. Sometimes on text. Sometimes my mouse turns green. Sometimes my dock is discolored completely. Take a look: http://imgur.com/RqpVOGY,UgOIlLA,ImwHxHg,ioGfArs
It's just plain annoying, really. Anyone out there know what it could be? I did a Apple Store chat (not knowing they wouldn't know) and they directed me to Tech Support, but warranty is out on my Mac so I'd have to pay $19.00 to find out. :/
Specs of my iMac:
OS X Lion (10.7.5)
iMac Late 2006
20.1-inch (1680 x 1050)
Graphics: ATI Radeon X1600 128 MB
Processor: 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Thanks!

Hi rosalarose
To check how much memory you have and your memory usage go to: Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor and select System Memory.
Your problem sounds more like a Software problem with Safari than a Hardware issue with the Memory. Instead of piggybacking on someone else's thread you should post a New Topic of your own here or in the Safari section of the Forum with a more detailed explanation of your problem.

I booted up this morning to find my voice over feature active. A black bar was at the lower left corner of my screen. When I began to click on the users in my login window it would not respond. All that I saw was the black bar saying authentication busy. I was not able to restart, I was not able to switch users, I was not able to shut down. I decided to manually shut down my Mac. when it booted back up I was looking at the disk utility screen. When I clicked on repair or race it indicated that my hard drive had already been arranged. I was looking at completely formatted drive and I was having to either restore from Time Machine or reinstall lion. I had a back up but why did this happen?

A possible workaround could be to have the horizontal scroll bar visible all the time.

Take it in for service. Your screen probably needs to be replaced.

Mini-DVI to s-video: black bar on left side

Hi,
When outputting video through "the mini-DVI to s-video adapter" i have a black bar on the left side of my television.
It seems like the 1024*768 resolution is not able to completely fit the 4:3 area of my television (the image is to small).
any ideas?
thanks!

I'm absolutely sure everything is displaying and that the image is not deformed in any way.
So my conclusion is that the image is just smaller (in every dimension) than it should be and than it was before.
I will try a lower resolution later today.
thanks for your help and interest!

Macbook to HDTV black bars

Hello,
I am running my macbook in clamshell mode connected to my new 40 inch Samsung LN40A500TF TV, I am using the mini dvi to VGA connector and have the resolution set to 1920*1080, everything works pretty well except the screen is sandwiched and centered between black bars perhaps an inch thick on either side... (Other than this it looks good, no distortion etc.)
Anyone encountered this before? I have played with the TV options and the macbook resolution looks right... if anyone has had a similar issue any guidance is welcome.
Thanks.

You could try the below trick that others have successfully used to try and get 1080p on your MB.
Open Displays Preferences and put a check mark in the "Show displays in menu bar" box.
Click on the resulting display icon that shows up in the menu bar to get the drop-down menu.
Scroll to "Number of Recent Items" and set it to 10.
Now drop the menu again from the menu bar and see if another 1080 resolution has shown up. Some people claimed they needed to restart, too. Often times a second 1080 resolution shows up and it is 1080p, although it may not say so. But you can confirm it from the TV, which will often have a setting like INFO or something like that where is shows the format it is receiving.

Removing Black Bars on iMovie Projects (Aspect Ratio / Resolution Problem)

Hey folks,
I jusr recently recorded a video using fraps on my PC while playing World of Warcraft. I've transfered this over to my mac to import into iMovie and upon importing the file (using a DV Widescreen profile) there are two black bars on either side of the video.
I believe this is because my monitor is using a different aspect ratio (max resolution is 1680x1050, in otherwords not 16:9 as the profile indicates).
How can I configure iMovie to conform to the aspect ratio of the origional imported video? I know if I import the video and get it edited to the final version I want to encode, there is an option using the Divx codec to remove these bars - But i'd like to keep the video using the H.264/.Mov standards (Divx looks like crap IMO!)
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

How do I get CS4 Change Quality Presets to be used and remove black bars?

In Encore CS4 I CAN change the quality preset to what I want, but then when I go back to the project it does not stick. I tried to get to transcode settings, but they are greyed out. There does not seem to be a way to "USE" the quality preset I have saved!
This is a single video clip that I sent to Encore from Premier Pro CS4 so I could make DVD and BD's. However it seems I am unable to make a DVD at 4 Mbps (so I can combine this Premier Pro Project with another on a single DVD) no matter what I try. Also I notice the BD I made was not m2v like I am used to in CS3, and therefore are not sure I can combine it with a menu and another clip on a single BD as I have done numerous times in CS3 Encore.
I also notice as I look at preview, and then also when a made a default setting DVD that there are black bars on either side of the picture. This was a 1440X1080 60i project in Premier Pro CS3 and I am desireing to make ait a 1920 X 1080 DVD.
Neither of these were problems in Premier Pro CS3 and I am thinking the way around this is to spend the day or two and redo the project in CS3. I have done many projects successfully in CS3 and mistakenly thought I could just pick up the project in CS4 and be successful again. If anyone knows how to resolve these in CS4, it would save this extra work, if not, I will join the crowd with CS4 "issues" and go back to CS3.

First, on the black bars. I do not want them at all. I cannnot post a screenshot now as
file attachments are turned off temporarily, but they are about 5% on either side. Totally unacceptable especially when in CS3 when exported to Encore there are NO black bars either visible in Encore or in the resulting DVD's
On the options and is the preset saved. I can close Encore and open it afresh and find the preset that I saved listed in the dropdown of presets with the name I saved it as and all the settings the way I want them.
On the issue of Transcode settings when selecting the resource... When I select the resource in the Project panel, or in the Timeline tab, the Transcode settings is greyed out. I have consulted the help screens and forums for various ways to change the transcode settings and none of the suggested ways work.
It looks like my CS4 install does not work the way yours does. I am about to completely unistall CS4 and CS3 and all other Adobe products and try a fresh reinstall to see if that works. Most likely I will simply reinstall CS#, since that works, and abandon CS4 for now as I am getting way behind on my work, and know I can finish with CS3. I have also heard form others that Sony Vegas is really solid and does not have all these weird bugs such as seen in CS4 and CS5, and is a much less bloated product and does the encodings faster. Since it is also less expensive, this seems too good to be true, but work a trial. So first rip every Adobe product off my PC and format the HD and start fress with JUST CS3 and get my work done. Then try Vegas to see if it is as good as my buddies say, if so bye bye Adobe!

Using footage from my iPhone 4, how can I remove the black bars on the sides of my picture? Or change the color to white...

My footage is vertical and there are two black bars on the side filling in the rest of the picture. I want to imbed this into PowerPoint without the black bars on the side. Any suggestions on how I can remove them or at least change the color to white? I changed the background color in View > Background > White, but it was only for editing purposes and didn't keep the color after rendering.

To change the background to white, in FCE, place the video on track V2 and place a color matte generator on track V1. The default color for the color matte is grey so you'll need to change it to white using the color picker.

My ipad gets a black bar over part of the screen then freezes up, please help

Just today my 16gb ipad 2 ,bought in December 2011, started to get a black bar over part of the screen. Sometimes 3/4 of the screen sometimes 1/4 then it freezes up and will not do anything. If I try to reboot it I get a faint backlit only. Any help would be appreciated!

Does anyone know what to do if there is a black bar at the bottom of your ipod touch screen? It is like the whole screen is shifted upwards and I cant access my top row apps.

For some reason, there is a 1 inch thick black bar that appeared at the bottom of my screen. It shifted my whole screen upwards and now I cant access my top row apps. The ipod still works fine, but I cant figure out how to get it back to normal. Any ideas?

Try the sstandard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to fctory defaults/new IPod.
If y still have the problem then an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have a Pages file that I created on my iPad that I used iCloud to store. There are no backups anywhere of this file. The file is stuck on updating on iCloud and on the iPad the file is inaccessible. There is a black bar over it which greys the file out.

I have a Pages file that I used my iPad to create. iCloud backed this file up to its server. The problem is that my iPad somehow locked itself. I had to restore it, the file was lost on the iPad, and when I went back to iCloud to retrieve the file it said it was Updating. The file is showing on my iPad, but it is greyed out with a black bar across the bottom of it. I have been working on this file for months, and I am not about to lose it! Please can someone tell me how I can get my file to download at least to my iMac.
This file has worked perfectly in the past, and what I didn't realise when the iPad was locked down was that the Airplane Mode was on, to save battery. If that had been on it would have synced it again.
Can anyone help me? I'm supposed to be sending this file (completed) off to a company in three days.
Thanks

HP Laserjet Pro 200 color mfp m276nw, black prints, black bars

Read the two previous reports and the possible remedy from December 2014,but still not solved. Has there been any new solution to this problem on a nearly new MFP.

Hi @PaceS,
I read your post and see that you are getting black bars when printing in black. Please clarify if this isn't correct. I would like to help you.
I would do a hard reset to see if will help.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
I have provided a document with the steps for calibrating and cleaning the toners, printing a Print Quality page, inspecting the toner for damage, checking the paper and driver settings to see if this will resolve the issue. Some of the steps you have already tried, but please try the other steps listed. Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues.
Print a Diagnostics Page: Go to Setup, Reports Menu, Diagnostics Page.
Update the printer's firmware. Software and Drivers. Select Go under Option 2.
Have you tried a new toner?
Are you using Genuine HP Toner?
What are the toner levels?
What were the results of the Print Quality Page and Diagnostics Page.
This will help determine if it is just one specific toner, possibly a fuser or hardware issue with the printer. Feel free to include a screen shot of both pages.
If you appreciate my efforts, please click the Thumbs up button below.
Please let me know the results. Thank You.

Remove Black Bars from Top and Bottom

Here's my situation:
I shot my footage FULL FRAME (not anamorphic) but while shooting my footage I had markers on my LCD for a 2.35 Aspect Ratio.
Now that my footage is edited I dropped the FCP matte filter for 2.35
For those of you out there I know I did not use a anamorphic lens and I know I did not shoot it on 16:9 format. But is there a way to crop out the Black bars?
Again like the previous post I would like to remove the black bars and have my QUICKTIME MOV. play like the ones on APPLE's Trailer site: http://www.apple.com/trailers/
Can anyone out there explain how to do this? Other then just drop this and change the size...WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? If you can provide more step by step information that would be great!

1. Create a New Sequence in FCP (Command-N)
2. Bring up your Sequence Settings (Comman-Zero) and alter them...
2a. so that your Frame Size is (approx) 720x306
2b. set Aspect Ratio to Custom.
3. Drop in your widescreen-filtered footage (they'll be shrunk, so...)
4. Select your clip (or all clips) (Command-A)
5. Remove Attributes (Option-Command-V) and select 'Basic Motion' then click OK.
6. Your movie should now (pretty much) fill the 2.35:1 sequence.
You'll probably need to tweak the frame size slightly (It's been a while since I've done this so my number(s) might be off).
Also, when you (ultimately) Export Via QuickTime Conversion (for the web?), be sure to take into account that the web uses Square Pixels - so resize your QT movie (in the Save Dialog, under Options) to be 640x306. (Again, my exact numbers might be off)
Good luck.
