How do I export video without a black border?

Hi everybody,
Hope there are a few altruistic users of Motion out there who can put me on the right track!
I have just bought Motion 5 - I have used Motion in the past and videos exported perfectly, with no issues, but now even if I create a custom preset which is simply 1920 x 1080 and 25fps the resulting video has a thick black border and doesn't fill the screen - I'm trying to create backgrounds for titles and need the resotution to match HD video footage. At the moment i have a small area of vidieo in a black space.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks!
John

Sounds like you need to scale up the video you have. It's not a border. It's just the background; and your video isn't filling the frame.
Click in the viewer window and hit Shift-Z, to make sure you're seeing the whole canvas frame. Then it should be evident whether your video is filling the frame or not.

gradients, shades of greys, plain colors show the limits of video-encoding.
try a diff. Export with Quicktime optional setting, esp. raise the bit-rate ...-

How can i transfer videos without losing the sound to my iPhone 3G?

Hi
I have bought my iPhone 3G yesterday. I have found out how to transfer music from iTunes however i can't transfer videos. I'm selecting the videos i want to transfer on the videos tab after i chose my iphone from the side menu and pressing apply. iTunes says that its syncing my iphone but it doesnt transfer the videos.
Lately i have found out a function on the advanced menu for movies as "create iphone or ipod version". When i used that it transfered that video to my iPhone however the sound was completely lost besides that action takes too much time(around 10 mins for a 3 min video and i have a pretty strong computer).

One thing I'd recommend is that you make sure the video/audio you're trying to transfer falls within the guidelines listed in the 'Video' section here:
http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
What's most likely happening is that the file is not converted as such so when you try to transfer it, it's wanting to convert it but is unable to for any number of reasons.
There's software out there that might make this easier for you but I can't recommend anything specifically.

How do I export video files from iPhoto to a backup external hard drive for safekeeping?

How do I export video files from iPhoto to a backup external hard drive for safekeeping? Each time I try, the video will not play from the external hard drive.

Use the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original. That should get the original video file exported. Try to export one to the Desktop first and open it with Quicktime Player. If all goes well export the rest to a folder on the EHD. How is the EHD formatted? It should be OS X Extended (journaled).

How do I watch videos without them stopping all the time?

How do I watch videos without them stopping all the time?
I have Snow Leopard on two computers and IOS5 on IPad 2. Videos will not run without stopping. I am talking about videos like on Yahoo and YouTube etc.

Slow Internet download speeds are typically responsbile, if you have 5 Mb/s or slower it's really bad. 10 Mb/s or higher is preferred and 20 Mb/s or better is ideal.
If you use a alternate DNS service like GoolgeDND or OpenDNS which has to fetch Akami hosted content from overseas instead of using your much closer ISP servers.
If your router is the old G model, upgrade to N.
If your wifi is open, you could have leechers. The more on the network, even a fast one, the slower it gets.
Secure your network info here etc.,

How can i export video clips in iPhoto into iMovie?

how can i export video clips in iphoto into imovie?

Hello andrewmarkp,
As long as the videos are in a format that can be used by iMovie, they will appear in your Event Browser, under 'iPhoto Videos.'
iMovie '11: Use video from your iPhoto library
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2196
If you’ve imported video from your digital camera into iPhoto, it appears automatically in your iMovie Event Library (as long as the video is in a compatible format).

Click iPhoto Videos in the Event Library.
The videos appear in the Event browser on the right. You can select and use the video just as you would any other footage.
To learn about importing video into iPhoto, open iPhoto and choose Help > iPhoto Help.

How to export video without modification

So it appears that the new iPhoto 9.5 modifies video files when exporting, even when you choose "original." I like to backup my original files without any modification. Images don't seem to be modified, but videos are; the timestamp changes and the size is smaller. Has anyone figured out an easy way to export/backup without modifying the original video files?
I've tried going into the iPhoto library and just backing up manually from there, but Apple has once again modified the file structure of the library so it's hard to figure out if you're getting all the files, or even what date you're getting. It seems to separate it by month and date of import, but not the date the actual image/video was taken.
I liked the old version where you just select a range of images/videos in iPhoto and export the originals to a backup drive without any modification.
Here's a screenshot of how it organizes the files in the library. Kind of a mess.

With past versions, when you exported as "original," it wasn't actually exporting a new file; it was copying the original file to a new location. So you were getting a bit-for-bit copy of the original. It appears to still do that with images—the copied file has the same datestamp and size as the original. By "datestamp" I mean the date you see on the file in Finder, not the embedded Exif info.
But with videos, the new version is modifying the original, making it a smaller file size, and changing the file's datestamp. If I choose "original," I should be getting a direct copy of the original, but I'm not. Instead I'm getting a modified version of it. And given the filesize change, I'm assuming it's a compressed version.
I know direct access to the library isn't supported. It's the Apple way to keep stuff like that hidden. But in the past, if I wanted to, I could view package contents and get to files I needed much more easily than the new version allows.
I'm just trying to find an easy way to back up the original video file, not a modified version of it.

How to print Adobe Forms without the black/gray backgrounds in the side columns

How can we print Adobe Forms without the black/gray backgrounds in the side columns? We are wasting a lot of ink printing out these forms and would like to have simply black ilnes to distinguish columns and black lettering, but no background colors. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am not positive what you are printing from but I am thinking it is from the View Responses tab with a response row selected and then shown in "Detail View" and that the column of field names has a dark grey background...
To change the color of the column headers select the row of headers (do this by clicking on the first dark grey header field and then scroll to the last one and shift+click on the last one), then in the "Text" tools change the text color to Black and the Fill color to white:
(Selected the header cells)
Changed the text/font color to black and the fill color to white
Now you can see the detail view does not have the dark grey.
Thanks,
Josh

How to enable exporting video. newbie

Hi all, I know this is elementary but have pity on me as I'm still a newbie. I have a sequence with a few audio tracks onto a video track. I want to File/export to a vimeo video file. When I pick export, it only allows me to export the audio. I *know* its some setting I hit but not sure where. Also, this is what I have for my video and audio tracks and I have a feeling it's because Video 1 doesn't have the small tab at the beginning clicked as the Audio tab has "A1".
I click on that small block but cannot get it selected.
please advise ! thanks!

Jim, thanks for taking the time to answer. My confusion came from the fact that I could not click on the 'export video' box. however, once I changed the file format to something other than "export audio" I was able to set it to vimeo hd.
thank you!

How do you export video to an external drive from iPhoto?

Hi, I have been trying to export video footage from iphoto onto an external hard drive only to find it no longer plays and is only a single image. What am I doing wrong...
Karen

Unless you exported the files using the Kind = Original option all you'll get for each item, photo or video, will be a jpeg file.
If you want to export only the videos do a search in the library for keyword = movie as iPhoto adds that keyword to all movies/videos imported. Then you can export them to a folder on the Destkop as Originals.
Or create a Smart Album like this:
Then you can select the contents of the album and export.

How do I export video to end up as 16:9 and not 4:3

When I export video using QuickTime as current setting at 720x480 anamorphic 16:9, the video ends up being 4:3. Why is this?

Thanks for the link I played around with the setting that were suggested, my movies where exported as 16:9 but why is it that when I bring my videos into imovie or idvd it still comes in as 4:3?
The only setting that seems to be working is when I export my video using QT conversion and selecting the DV stream format but I'm losing quality in my video and the play back is choppy I'm guessing cause of frames being dropped during the conversion.
Thanks for you help.

How do I export video from a Canon Optura 30 camcorder to my iMac/ iMovies? I've tried a Firewire cable but imovies doesn't seem to recognise the camcorder.

I've been trying to export video from my Canon Optura 30 camcorder to imovies with a firewire lead, however nothing happens and imovies doesn't semm to reconise the camcorder. Can anyone help please?

Here is a compatibility chart for iMovie:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html?lang=en_US
I did not see yours; however, as long as it has firewire, it should work. Did you read the instructions in both your camcorder manual and in iMovie on the steps needed?
If you can't get it to work after following the steps, what format does it record in? Is it on a memory card? If so, it'd be easy: just use a USB card reader, plug it in and import your footage that way.
