How do I remove the black border from around my videos?

I have PE7 on my Dell laptop with Windows 7. I've been editing videos on it probably since January. I just never thought anything of the black border, but recently it's really been bugging me. I tried Googling some answers, but all I found was to switch your camera to 16:9 Widescreen. My JVC Everio GZ-MG555U was already set to that setting. I'm just frustrated & I want to get rid of this border. If anyone knows the answer to this problem, please let me know. I need help!

Thanks for staying with the troubleshooting. I will stay with this as long as it takes to get the project to a successful conclusion. Let us work through this step by step.
1. The readout that you give for your JVC video file is consistent with what those .mod widescreen files have been reading out as, that is,
720 x 480 with a pixel aspect ratio of 0.9091 (standard 4:3) rather than 720 x 480 with a pixel aspect ratio of 1.2121 (widescreen 16:9).
2. Premiere Elements 7. Start a new project with the project preset of NTSC DV Widescreen.
3. With Get Media/Files and Folders import your video clip into the project and drag it to the Timeline.
4. Go to Interpret Footage and, in the Interpret Footage dialog, dot the Conform to: and change the Pixel Aspect Ratio to
D1/DV NTSC Widescreen 16:9 (1.2).
5. Right click the Monitor, select Magnification, and make sure that that the setting is "Fit". Now look at the Edit Mode Monitor space. Is the area designated for the video display filled? No black borders? If so, continue. If not, you are going to scale the video to make the fill. It should not take much scaling for this if needed.
a. Select your video on the Timeline
b. Open Properties/Motion Panel to reveal Scale. Use the Scale slider to zoom in to fill the monitor space to the minimal degree to achieve that purpose, that is, getting rid of any unfilled space (black borders).
6.Then export that Timeline to a NTSC DV AVI widescreen file, saving it to the computer desktop.
Use Share/Computer/DV AVI with Presets: DV NTSC Widescreen
Check out how your NTSC DV AVI widescreen plays back on Windows Media Player. Nevertheless, continue on....
7. Go to the YouTube web site and upload your DV NTSC Widescreen there. And, let us know the results.
We can talk about the upload of your Premiere Elements 7 Timeline with its mod widescreen to YouTube from within Premiere Elements 7 Share/Online/YouTube next if necessary. If you have any problems along the way, stop, let us know the details, and we will work out the problem before continuing with the next steps.
Thanks.

Removing the black border from exported videos

Ok, basically I'm trying to rip DVD footage and convert it to something playable on an iPod. Nothing too hard getting it ripped and converted and all, but the VOB files didn't break right on the episodes, and I also wanted to edit out the theme from the beginning of EACH episode in the interest of space.
Overall it's working pretty well so far, I've been able to perform all that I needed to do, but when I export I get a wide black border around the video which looks fine now, but will take up a lot of valuable space when reduced to iPod resolution. I've found ways to change the color of the border in FinalCut, but no real way to remove it. Anyone have a way of dealing with this?

Ok, figured out what to do.
If you go to the canvas, hit the box for the borders, tell it to show the wire frame. Click and you can rotate, resize, etc.

How do I remove a black border from my 4:3 ratio movie, which only uses 4:3 ratio images?

Hello,
I'm using Adobe Premiere Elements 9. I have an audio file from a teleconference call and I am using images exported from a 4:3 PowerPoint presentation to create a video of the presentation. The image files are .tiff files, 960x720. This is the only type of file I am using to create this video.
I really need to get rid of the large black border which appears on ALL sides (left, right, as well as top and bottom) whenever I export. Exporting as flv, mpg or avi has no change. I also tried .png images, no change. Any ideas??
Thanks!

My guess is that the 1280 x 720 was the last Project Preset used, and was still there, when you chose New Project.
As for your output, will you be outputting an SD (Standard Def), or HD (High-Def) file for uploading?
Do you ONLY have the TIFF Still Images, or are you mixing in any Video?
The Frame Size difference, between the 960 x 720, and the 1280 x 720 will cause black borders. The two choices are to use the 1280 x 720 Project, and then use Motion>Scale to increase the Scale of your TIFF's. Note that the Aspect Ratio of those TIFF's does not match the 1280 x 720, so to get rid of ALL black borders, you will Scale up the TIFF, and effectively crop your TIFF's. If there is no margin on your TIFF's, that can be a problem.
As PrE only supports standard Video Frame Sizes, there will not be one that matches the 960 x 720.
Good luck,
Hunt

how can i remove the authorization hold from my card

You can try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store
How much was the amount ? A 'normal' holding charge is a small amount (e.g. equivalent to about $1), and usually happens after you add or change credit card details on your account. Here in the UK it can take a few working days for it to disappear (so a weekend can extend the elapsed time).
Edit : I don't know what a non-liability certificate is and/or whether Apple can do one.

How can I remove the background sound from the headphone jack for my MacBoo

for my MacBook Air problem adding music intensifier (Panasonic ST-HT1000) to give it an unpleasant sound background that sounds like a whiz, it's not so loud, but it is an unpleasant .. after a short time can get used to, but the fizz does not pass, however, believe that it is a big problem.
Further I notice that when MacBookAir disconnected from the charger, it remains quieter sound.
At first thought that the headphone jack (3.5 mm Headphone:
Connection: 1/8-Inch Jack) or wiere have problem, but tried 3 different cables, but that does change enything, the problem remains.
When I added iPhonu3GS playing - the background sound were not, then everything is OK!

There is no way to bring that up unless you have it typed in a document. You can use My Support Profile to find a list of serial numbers that have been purchased or registered with your Apple ID.

How can I remove the moon phases from iCal?

I need to remove ALL the moon phases that appear in iCal 5.0.3. Every time iCloud updates it sends 6 to 10 moon events to my MacBook Pro. Going forward 3 0r 4 months, there are too many moon phases. How can I remove the moon phases from iCal?
I am on a MacBook Pro 2.2 with 4 GB using Mountain Lion 10.7.5.

Try:
items.RemoveAll(s => string.IsNullOrEmpty(s));
Or you can filter them out using where:
var noEmptyStrings = items.Where(s => !string.IsNullOrEmpty(s));

How can I remove the " Source.vi" from long Express VI Names?

I am in the Moment working on the Development of an Express VI
library for test purposes.
How can I remove the " Source.vi" from long Express VI Names?
This happens when the Express VI is inserted in the blockdiagram
and listed in LabVIEW and TestStand Palettes.
By short names like "DAQ-Assistent" or "EasyCalc" the string " Source.vi"
is not shown at the end of the Express VI names.
I used The Express VI Dev Toolkit 1.0 to create the Express VIs.
Labview Version: 7.1 Base
TestStand: 3.1
It would be great to get the expert advice from the Forum for this issue!
Thanks a lot.
Andre

I think I understand what you are asking for. If I am wrong, please try to explain it a bit more.
The name shown may be different than the name of the vi file. To do this, your source VI and popup on its icon. From the short menu that comes up, select VI properties. In the top ring, select Window Appearance. The page that comes up lets you set various things that can affect the appearance of the VI. What you want to change is the window title. Uncheck the Same as VI name checkbox and change the string to whatever you want it to be.
I hope that this helps,
Bob

I have a new MacBook Pro and I followed these instructions, downlonading and installing the new Flash plugin. But when I looked in "/Library/Internet Plugins" there was no folder called "Disabled Plugins".
However, I did see two versions of Flash:
_Flash Player.plugin with old date
Flash Player.plugin with todays date
I deleted _Flash Player.plugin and this fixed the problem.

How can I remove the page number from the first page of the document that is the cover page?

How can I remove the page number from the first page of the document that is the cover page?

If you open the Pages panel, (Window>Pages) you will see thumbnails of your master pages and your document pages. In new documents, there is usually a master called A-Master and one called None. If you drag the thumbnail of the None master onto the thumbnail of a document page, it will apply that master to that page. Presumably, you have made your page numbers on A-Master, so this will usually do the trick. If you have elements on A-Master that you need on the first page, but just not the page number, you can duplicate A-Master (which, by default will give you B-Master, but you can change the names if you like) and remove the page number on the duplicate and apply that to the document page.
It might also be worth noting that you can apply master pages in the fly-out of the Pages panel. Go to the fly-out triangle and go down to Apply Master to Pages…, then select a master to apply and the range of pages (1-8 will give you all 8, 1, 3, 5, 7 will be the odds, 1-3, 4, 6-8 if you want continuous ranges and individual pages).
