FCE 4 - Video turning out smaller, and bad quality!! Please help!

I shoot 1080p full HD footage in 16:9 aspect ratio.
I use Final Cut Express 4.
I import the footage, edit it, but when I watch it back, or export it, the video comes out much smaller, with black bars ON ALL SIDES, and the quality is awful!!! This is after render of course.
This is a problem I started having just recently!! It hasn't happened before.
Is there some settings I triggered by mistake, or something I missed.
Please help!

The information you can provide is available in the movie inspector in the QuickTime player. It gives exact technical specifications for your media. 1080p means very little. You haven't even given the frame rate or the frame size. 1920x1080 or 1440x1080?
H.264 is not supported in the FCE timeline. The media needs to be converted to the Apple Intermediate Codec.
Please gvie the item properties of the sequence you're editing in. Select the sequence in the browser. Press Cmd-9. What does it say?
Trying to figure out what's happened to your project requires a lot of detailed information which I cannot get without seeing your computer. As I can't see you you have to provide the information.

Have you tried to reboot your phone(hold home and lock button simutainiously)?

Very bad quality,please help.

I shooted some scenes with Canon 7D in an environment with very low lighting at night .. I wonder what technique (can be filters, FCP plugins) can you direct me to so I can give a gain in image quality.
thx a lot

Hi,
As David says really. In low light youre obviously going to start using high iso with inherent noise, especially chroma noise, Ive had good results with magic bullet denoiser when used sparingly. What you will not find is some sort of plugin that will make your footage look crystal clear and perfectly exposed.
you can take the view that the noise (grain) can be used in an artistic way, as can the use of Black and white. It obviously helps if you plan the shoot with this in mind, but have a look around at some Black & white photographers (Don McCullen or Robert Capa for example) and see what they have done with grainy B&W film stocks and low light.

Long story short. plugged i phone into my computer and my sons itune acct. came up ithought it was mine and hit restorenow i have all his stuff and mine is gone. turns out i never backed up. Help

Long story short. plugged my i phone into my computer and my sons itune acct. came up ithought it was mine and hit restore now i have all his stuff and mine is gone. turns out i never backed up. Help. I have a new ipad which had 238 photos and it only would share 190 with my phone. I pretty much just deleted his stuff, reset to dfault to get my clock and calendar back. The biggest problem now is my old icons show up but wont launch so I figured I coul delete them then re install them but HIS apple account keeps showing up with his account info. How do I change that to get my name and password back on there?
Stupid I know but I cant take it back.

Hi there cz1959!
I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your data. It sounds like you need to sign into your own Apple ID again on the iPad, then download your previously purchased iPad apps again. We have an article on how to do exactly this, and it can be found right here:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
Also, you may want to consider signing up for a free iCloud account and turning on automatic backups. This will allow you to back up your iPad in the background and without connecting to a computer, so that this issue of data loss will be minimized if this sort of issue ever happens again:

I hope this information helps resolve your situation. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

Ever since I downloaded iOS 7 my music and video sound has been really bad quality what should i do

Ever since I downloaded iOS 7 my music and video sound has been really bad quality what should i do??

I had the same problem on my iPad v2 IOS 7. But it sorted itself after a hard reset (power and home button) followed by a soft rest ( just power) . I lost all sound at this point. Then restarted again with a hard reset.
Hope that fixes your iPad v2

When i transfer an photoshop image in Indesign, this one come out in very bad quality and pixelise even once print

Hello,
I have an issu, every image i bring or change trough Photoshop CS6 and transfer to Indesign CS6 or Illustrator CS6 comes out in very bad quality and very pixelated whyle printed.
The original image in photoshop is 29x32 cm with 300 ppp.
When i transfer in Indesign, i have to reduce the site via the adjustment button and it comes in terrible quality.
It never happen before, its just recently, and i didn't change my way to save or the properties of my Photoshop, so if someone can help me to resolve this problem, i will be glad.
Regards,
Marie

Before I should save the image as a PSD (without Clipping Mask and dont flatten the image). the print would come out different colours...not the same.
Are you saying the printer can't get a .PSD to output, or a PSD's color is unpredictable? Sounds like your printer can print .PSDs, but you have a color management problem. By different colors do you mean that the printed CMYK color values are different than what was in the placed PSD? If that's the case it may be that the PSD had a profile that conflicted with the InDesign document profile and you are getting unexpected color conversions somewhere in the workflow.

I'm not sure, but I know it's not recommended to upgrade to iOS 8 on anything older than an iPhone 5. I only lost my music playlists and music that was on my phone, but that music is also on my iTunes, not the playlists though, and I don't want to go through ALL my iTunes library to fix it either... But it seems I don't have a choice right now.
Whatever you do, do NOT upgrade to iCloud Drive, keep iCloud till OS X Yosemite comes out, if your computer is a Mac. I also just noticed that all my documents on my phone are gone from Pages, BUT if I go on the iCloud website they are still there. Hopefully it will all work itself out when I can update my macbook pro to OS X Yosemite.
If you backed up your phone and all your purchases off your iPhone prior to trying to upgrade you should be fine... But I'm not even remotely sure.

Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
Type "move itunes library from pc to mac" or similar into the google search bar.

If you had installed iOS 7 it would be Activation locked, but I see you only have iOS 5. You do have a backup of you iPad files on your computer or iCloud, don't you?
If the iPad was running iOS 7, the thief/finder will not ever be able to use it.

Also do a search, using the serial number, on your local Craig’s List. Some users list the serial number of a stolen iPad to thwart the sale of a stolen device.

My iPod shuffle will not turn on, nor is it recognized by the computer to pull up iTunes. I have order new USB cords and nothing. Please help!

My iPod shuffle will not turn on, nor is it recognized by the computer to pull up iTunes. I have order new USB cords and nothing. Please help! Not sure of the generation of iPod shuffle, I think 3rd.

first: why did you download the iOS Beta 8? If you are a developer, go to the Apple Developers website and check what they can do for your case.
second: setup an appointment to a Genius Bar for service.

Once I downloaded the new IOS 5.0 I've lost all of my photos that were stored on my PC, and I no longer have access to them on the IPOD. Cannot figure out what has happened. Please help.

Thanks lllaass, but I am not computer literate and do not understand exactly what it is I am supposed to do. All of my photos were stored on Microsoft Windows Live Photo Gallery. When I now access the gallery the only thing that is there are the folders with the title of the folders. The pictures that were in those folders are now gone. I can no longer access them on my IPOD either. My photo library on my IPOD is now empty.
Thanks again for your help.

Try doing it on your computer with iTunes and then sync to your iPad to see if it clears the problem.

Hello gokulaan, '''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.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* 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.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.
