FCP X 10.1.3 is automatically cropping stills, making them unusable. Any ideas?

FCP X 10.1.3 is automatically cropping stills, making them unusable. It is also doing the same thing to photos in existing projects. Unfortunately, I was trying to complete a project this morning and now it is worthless. Have rebooted and trashed preferences. Any ideas? Thanks.

These are pictures from our iPhone 5 (3264 x 2448, jpg). The first attachment is the largest size FCP allows to be inserted. The second attachment is the full picture. The screen captures come from FCP's media viewer. If you hover over a picture you get the cropping,
Project settings follow:
Changing Spatial Conform settings has no effect. Deleting pictures and re-importing does not work either. Don't hesitate to ask for more information. Appreciate the help.

  • I'm trying to sync Outlook calendar (office 2010?win 8) with my iphone 4s. All works well when running control panel manually but it will not run automatically after that. Anyone got any ideas

    I'm trying to sync outlook calendar and contacts via icloud control panel. Everything works when control panel is run manually but it will not run automatically after that. Anyone got any ideas

    I am having a very similar problem. Until 12 hours ago, I was using my recently replaced 4s (with iOS7) flawlessly, receiving emails and calendar info from Exchange (Outlook 2010). But starting last night, it all stopped. I have deleted and added the account several times, tried making simple changes (considering whether the username is case sensitive, or not, etc.) and cannot fix it. I have iOS 7.04. Interestingly, the first time I changed the case to lower case, it seemed to respond immediately, and downloaded many emails with no sender, no content, and with a 12/31/69 date. Yes, 1969. And then nothing happened. Help please!

  • FCP 7 will NOT open with my brand new Retina MacBook Pro, any ideas?

    I got my brand new retina-display macbook pro in the mail today. I installed Final Cut Studio 3, with dmg file I made from original disk, right serial numbers etc. Upgraded to 7.0.3 through the software update.
    Final Cut opened once (which was fine) and I realized I had to install magic bullet looks to keep working on a project I had been working on.
    After I did so FCP would not open. Thinking this was the problem, I completely uninstalled all plugins using Red Giants official uninstall app. I also deleted the Boris continuum plugins lots of people say is a problem in Mountain Lion with FCP startup issues.
    I then used FCS remover to completely remove the entire suite and restarted, emptied the trash etc for a clean slate.
    Upon reinstalling, Final Cut will not open. The startup screen shows up, goes through profiling for RT extreme etc and then closes and the icon disappears from the dock. Everything else opens, motion, compressor, dvd studio pro. Everything is fine except for Final Cut. I have trashed preferences and reinstalled numberous times and triple checked there are no rogue plugins lying around. Nothing seems to work. The only thing I haven't tried is restoring the machine to factory settings and starting from scratch.
    This is incredibly frustrating, does anyone have any insight?
    Thanks.

    Thanks David. I wiped the machine and rinstalled Lion and started from scratch again which was a bummer but worked. I feel like the earlier plugins I installed had something to do with it.

  • Anything that I copy on my desktop gets deleted automatically after a few seconds. Any idea what is going on ?

    I have a problem with my MBP.
    One day something weird started happening. Every time I would copy / save / download something on my desktop it got deleted automatically after a few seconds. On very very rare occasions this would not happen.
    This has been going on for 3 months now and I haven't found any sollution. The last option is to format and reinstall Lion but I hope there is a faster/better solution than that.
    I have a 2011 15-inch MBP with the up-to-date Mac OS X Lion.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software -- potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions -- they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
    Below are four lines of text in monospaced type, which are UNIX shell commands. They’re harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of running these commands, search this site for other discussions in which they’ve been used without any report of ill effects.
    Some of the commands will line-wrap in your browser, but each one is really just a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
    To begin, launch the Terminal application; e.g., by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search. A text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
    Step 1
    Copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
    kextstat -kl | awk ' !/com\.apple/ { print $6 $7 } '
    Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
    Step 2
    Repeat with this line:
    sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|com\.vix|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
    Step 4
    ls -1A {,/}Library/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Sta}* 2> /dev/null
    Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, change it to something like “[email protected]” before posting.
    Remember, steps 1-4 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer -- no typing, except your password.
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Fcp - color - fcp ALL BLURRY in PAL Anamorphic - any ideas?

    ok, so admittedly i'm not working on my normal system but i've been using color (and final touch before that) for a while on a number of small and large fcp projects (dv, hdv, prores) and now i'm working on a small tv show for austrian broadcasting.
    naturally the project is in pal and it is in standard pal anamorphic.
    when i send to color everything looks ok, my viewer is squeezed (there is no pal anamorphic setting for color it seems, just regular pal 4x3) but checking the geometry it all looks good so i wasn't concerned.
    i do a correct on a 2-minute section to test everything and it all looks good in color.
    i render everything out and send it back to fcp and lo and behold EVERYTHING is BLURRY.
    as if a defocus filter has been applied.
    i've tried a bunch of different settings, i've removed grades, de-interlace, everything and it still comes back blurry.
    any ideas?
    thanks,
    nick.

    FCP issue?
    Check the rendered clips OUTSIDE of FCP, ie in Quicktime. There may be a scaling/RTE/proxy thing happening if there is not an exact match between the rendered material and the way FCP wants to handle it. Check Audio/Video settings. The anamorphic nature may be throwing a curve.

  • How can I prevent iPhoto from automatically cropping my shot for printing?

    I've got a shot that is about 6 inches wide and 3 inches tall.  I want to print it on 5x7 inch paper but iPhoto keeps cropping it automatically so that there is no white space on top or bottom and cutting off the ends of my picture.  Is there a way to make it print on 5x7 without automatically cropping it?
    Thank you.

    Select a Custom size in the print window, i.e. 6 x 3, and try with the 5 x 7 stock.  That should place the image on the stock .

  • Is there a way to set up a button/action so that when a PDF is sent to print, it automatically crops it?

    I'm on a Mac with Yosemite, and am running Acrobat 9 Pro.
    I have an oversize PDF document that includes navigation tabs across the top like a website. It is interactive so a user can click through the PDF.
    My page size is 8.5"x11.5" - slightly taller than standard letterhead. I have a button set up to print a "printer friendly" version. What I'd like to do is set up an action on the print button so that the pages automatically crop 1/2" off the top, essentially getting rid of the tabs prior to printing. Is this possible using an action and pre-setting the crop amount?

    There is nothing you can do with iMovie program itself.  Slow response in usually due to a shortage of system resources (CPU, RAM and disk space).
    How much free disk space do you have on your boot drive and what is the capacity of the drive?
    You can check memory utilization while running iMovie using Activity Monitor (in Applications/Utilities).  What does the Memory tab show for Swap used?
    Are you running many other processor-intensive applications a the same time?
    If you have a lot of events and projects, it will help a bit to hide the ones you are not using by moving them from your iMovie Projects and iMovie Events folders into an enclosing folder so iMovie doesn't load them.

  • Automatic crop ?

    Hi,
    I have a weird behavior of Lightroom today on one particular image.
    I don't understand what's happening and I don't know what I'm missing...
    I have this image of a train (portait) that I want to crop to landscape so I press R, do my crop, validate with Enter.
    I continue to the next image.
    When I come back to my train image, Lightroom automatically crop it in portait without asking me !
    Any idea ?

    Thanks for your fast answer.
    Can you developp the part "where the crop overlay doesn't touch the edges".
    If a corner of the crop overlay touch the right or left edge of the original photo, it should be ok ?
    In my case it is not...

  • Adobe Premiere Pro Automatically Crops Source Video Upon Import

    This is really confusing me and I've never had this kind of trouble before.  I have source videos that are 720x480, but as soon as I import them into Premiere, they are cropped to 540x480.  It's not a problem with sequence settings or anything, because the imported source file is cropped before it's even in a sequence.  I tried looking on-line for a solution, but couldn't find any.  Does anyone know how this can be fixed...maybe some import settings that I don't know about?
    Here are some screenshots to visually represent what I was saying:
    This is properties of the video
    This is what Premiere automatically does right after the video is imported as a source
    This is a screenshot when played with VLC:
    This is a screenshot when played from the source in Premiere:
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.  This video is due Saturday and all my footage is cropped, please help me.  Thank you!

    11.  Re: Adobe Premiere Pro AND Adobe Premiere Elements 13 Automatically Crops Source Video Upon Import
    My AP Elements (version 13) has exactly the same bug. I have a DVD where 25% of every VOB file's images' right border has been cut away during the inserting phase into Elements. No adjusting of frame and pixel aspect ratios, black borders narrow or wide, project settings automatic or manual do not help. Gone is gone. But the same VOB files play normally (100% image) in many other players/editors. I have experimented with VLC and Wondershare Video Converter. 
    On the other hand Elements is able to read correctly other DVD's VOB files. See discussion about this very same bug in Elements thread.

  • Need a script to batch automate "Crop & Straighten"

    So I have a few hundred image files that consist of 3 or 4 scanned photos also called "gang" scanned. The photoshop "Crop & Straighten" ability (located under File-->Automate) is great...But I want to be abe to run a script that will prompt me for a folder to be processed and then run the Crop & Straighten on all the photos, while saving them to another folder called "Edited" or something.  I found a script in the forums for this exact purpose, but it doesn't seem to work in CS5.  I ran it multiple times, it creates the folder "Edited" but nothing is inside of it. The script I found is posted below. Any ideas? I would really appreciate the help!
    #target Photoshop
    app.bringToFront;
    var inFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Please select folder to process");
    if(inFolder != null){
    var fileList = inFolder.getFiles(/\.(jpg|tif|psd|)$/i);
    var outfolder = new Folder(decodeURI(inFolder) + "/Edited");
    if (outfolder.exists == false) outfolder.create();
    for(var a = 0 ;a < fileList.length; a++){
    if(fileList[a] instanceof File){
    var doc= open(fileList[a]);
    doc.flatten();
    var docname = fileList[a].name.slice(0,-4);
    CropStraighten();
    doc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
    var count = 1;
    while(app.documents.length){

    Hi there,
    I have tested one script and encountered one problem; the script/PS is very aggressive. The result has been that single images have been divided to multiple images and many time "over cropped" and rotated in various degrees. Crazy : )
    Example Before/after:
    Dropbox - PS CROP&STRAIGHTEN
    Script used:
    Dropbox - CROPAndStraightenBatch.jsx
    I have about 3000 images that I would like to have cropped.
    What I would like to have is a script where I can state or set it to not allow it to divide pictures into many.
    Also...any script that can automate rotations as batch?
    Does this exist somewhere?
    Are there any scripts somewhere that I can test?
    Cheers
    Martin

  • Printing without automatic cropping

    Hello, When I print my photos, they are automatically cropped, and most of the time I lose important part of the photos. Please advise how I can print all of the original photo. 

    Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? What program are you using to print?  What size are your photo's (in pixels)?  What size are you trying to print?  Are you printing borderless?
    There are a few likely issues:  first, the image size of typical camera photo's have a different aspect ratio than typical 4x6, 5x7 or 8x10 photos.  Secondly, if you do have images of the proper aspect ratio and are printing in borderless mode there will be some overspray and clipping of the image to ensure there are no white spaces around the edges.  Depending on your printer model, operating system and driver you may be able to control the amount of overspray in the "advanced" tab of the driver.  Moving the overspray control toward "least" will minimize the amount of clipping.

  • Automatic Cropping

    Hi,
    I'm trying to print 4x6 photos (after using iPhoto's cropping tool, to size each picture to 4x6), but they are automatically cropped even further by the printer.
    Any ideas on what's going on?
    Thanks!

    This is NOT an online service problem. This is also happening to me. I tried printing on two different printers and get identical results: a perfect 4x6 photo gets a bit cropped or chopped off. I tried printing from Preview and from Photoshop with identical results (I first thougth it was a printer issue so I called Epson; my other printer is a Canon). This has got to be a OS issue! None has answered it yet. I am going to run another test, printing on a Mac with OS Tiger to see what happens. I am also on hold for Apple Support as I write this message. By the way, there is a similar posting here:

  • Scanned bmp, cut off with Automate, Crop

    I open PS and place a platen-load of photos on the scanner.
    Using HP Scanjet 7650 and Omnipage Pro 12 I scan making one bmp.
    I close the scanner program and have my bmp opened in PS.
    A. File, Automate, Crop and straighten results in 4 psd files.
    BUT
    sometimes one or more of the 4 are miscut by PSCS. I then have to go into the original composite .bmp and recrop just the one that was miscut. How to avoid this or what am I doing wrong.
    B.Let's say you've got 10 individual .bmps.
    How to convert all at once to jpegs of a certain dimension?

    If the post "Copy changed photos to Folder" gets answered, then that will be good enough for me here for now. Saw it after I posted mine.
