How to avoid the canvas showing after crop/how to cut out background&side objects

Hi
Thanks in advance for any help!!!
I've tried in vain for hours to work this out....I am shooting against a white background and I need to chop off the lights/other objects in the shot at the side of the video- how is this best achieved?!
I've trimmed the video but then I'm left with a white or black canvas at the sides....and I can't work out to make the video fill the frame once I've trimmed!
I'm using the white screen to avoid having the key all the videos (just bought the white screen after the green sreen had too many issues with staying inside the greenscreen and having to be so far forward to light the green screen enough - I'm shooting large products!)
I'm new to FCP (I've got FCP X 10) so sorry if this is an obvious answer but I'm banging my head against the wall on this one!
screenshots attached of what I'm talking about!
even giving me the correct terms to google would really be appreciated!! ive tried everything i can think of!
Thanks

You have to fill it with something. How good are in Photoshop? Take a frame and airbrush and clone the "white" into the surrounding area. Place the Photoshop image on a layer underneath the crop video. Rather than crop it using the mask effect and feather it so it will blend better with the underlying graphic.

How long can you revert back to the original photo after cropping?

Is there any time limit for how long can you revert back to the original photo after cropping? Are you always able to revert back?
Thanks.

DAM = "Digital Asset Manager", a fancy name for a filing system.
iPhoto keeps the original and makes one (usually much smaller) copy based on your edits. It is non-destructive in that if you crop, and later change the color, iPhoto will go back to the original and apply the corrections to get the new image, it will not simply modify the preview.
If you want a high quality copy of the image, use the export function which allows you to specify the size and compression.

HT204406 some of the songs i have downloaded from iclouds cut out after about 50 seconds? Has anyone else had this problem?

Some of the songs I have downloaded from iclouds cut out after about 50 seconds when i play them? Has anyone else had this problem and if so did you manage to fix it.
Thanks

I've had this happen several times... I suspect the download was interrupted for some unreported reason so it only has a partial file or has a corrupt byte in the file it failed to catch.
Just delete the local copy and re-download from the cloud and they play fine.

A black bar appeared at the bottom of the new window after I drag a tab out.

this is actually an issue back in the mavericks safari, but the problem was somehow solvable and was not appearing every time.
after upgrading to Yosemite, this problem appears every time.
The problem is : when I have several tabs, then I drag a tab out, which you can see the minimized window.
After you release it, it will become a new window as expected and intended. BUT there will be a black bar underneath.
In the Youtube website, you can see that the upper part of the site is actually being blocked by the toolbar.
( I had waited for several seconds to let the toolbar to get to its original position )
Clearly the black bar at the bottom caused this problem.
It's a very annoying issue.
I am not sure if it's a problem of Yosemite or Safari. But back in to mavericks, the problem also existed.
Is there anyone out there having the same problem?
How to Fix it ?
P.S.1 HOWEVER, if i right-clicked the tab and select "move tab to a new window", the problem DOES NOT exist.
P.S.2 I am using Mac Book Air(13", Mid 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

In the App store window at the top click on Purchases. Your download progress is there. If the progress seems to have stalled, click on the pause button and then restart the download. It should pick up where it left off.

How to find out if an object belongs to young or tenured generation

Hi,
Working on an internal memory analysis tool (to embed in an application), and I wonder if anyone knows how to find out what part of the heap an object belongs to (young, tenured, permanent etc.). Since tools like VisualGC (both for JDK 1.4 and 1.5) seem to be able to discern between the objects in the heap, there must be a way to figure it out. Is there an API in JNI, JVMTI or JVMPI or anything else that provides this info?
Thanks,
Luc

In Java 1.5 the Monitoring & Management API can tell you this. See J2SE 5.0 in a Nutshell

The internet on my macbook pro keep cutting out in OS 10.8..What to do?

Hello,
I purchased a new macbook pro about in early September and ever since I started using it in my home, the internet cuts out constantly. I was using a aiport to connect wirelessly and then swithced to a router provided by my internet company which is Time Warner. I have the fastest package they sell but nothing seems to help. The internet cuts out after about 5-10 minutes everyt time I use the internet and download speeds are nowhere near what they should be for the package I have.
I'm using the newest OS (10.8.2).
Any help is very much appreciated!
Thank you

Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers
    Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2. Remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.
6. System Preferences > Sound> Sound Effects
    Play sound effects through:
   Select "Internal speakers" and then back to "Selected sound output device".

After Effects CS6 .swf Cuts Out Early

Hello All:
I'm admittedly new to After Effects, so please bear with me on this one. I've been working on an After Effects file to be inserted into Adobe Captivate as an animation layer. When I render the file as a .avi or .mp4, everything renders exactly as it should. However, when I try to export as a .swf file (which is what I need for the animation layer in Captivate), the file says its rendering 450 frames but then cuts out around 380. Again, when rendering it in the other formats, I have no problems with the render. I just run into a problem when I'm trying to export as a .swf file. I've checked the duration and everything says it should be exporting completely, so I'm completely at a loss on this one.
Thanks,
Jason

I'd recomend that you use Adobe Media Encoder to create the FLV file and let Flash turn that into a linked file in a SWF. It will play faster and be smaller overall unless your SWF is entirely vector art.

How to find out size of objects

hi, i need to draw a few objects in PS - a few rectangles and circles, and i need to draw them with precise size - width and height, but i dont know where i can find some information about their width and height (in cm or mm). once i draw them, there's nothing about their size in the panel or properties. thanks

A way to measure pretty much anything is to select the Ruler tool, then drag from one side to the other...
Once you've set the endpoints, you can read the results near the top of the Photoshop main window. It will read out in whatever units you've set in Edit - Preferences - Units & Rulers

Iteration - how to find out if an object is a button?

Using "for (var i in _parent) {}" I'd like to find out all
button objects and call "i.disable()". However, I have the problem
to be unable to tell if any "i" is a button, because instanceof
does not work, and all other methods I tried, including simply
adding "if (i.enabled != undefined)" only resulted in compile
errors.
Help appreciated...

SOLVED - of course I have to use _parent
in the loop instead of just "i", which is only a
string.

How to cut out part of an image and replace with another?

ok, i'm a newbie to image editing, and i want to cut out a persons face in a picture and put in another face on the picture. i'm sure this is pretty simple, i just have no idea where to start. can someone point me in the right direction? thanks!

Aperture is not a pixel editor, which is what you need. Photoshop is the app used for this, but it's cost is several times that of AP! As suggested in the second post, look into Photoshop Elements, a slimmed-down and much cheaper version of Photoshop. [I don't use Elements, so if someone knows that it can't do area copies from one pic to another, please join the conversation!]
And get a good book on Photoshop or Elements, there's a huge learning curve involved. I'd suggest going to a book shop, pulling a few such books off the shelf and check their index for editing techniques. Sometimes you'll find one book that gives you the exact step-by-step instructions for doing what you want. Then there'll be others that don't get into the topic or do a poor job.

I need some help.
When I have an image like this: http://wallpaper.skins.be/anna-julia-kapfelsperger/36666/1024x768/

Unwanted paths showing after cropping to make a repeat pattern tile.

I'm trying to make a repeat pattern tile (using CS5 on Windows 7), but when I crop the pattern, the expanded paths underneath become visible as on the flowers below.
This is what I did after creating the artwork:
Used the rectangle tool to make a box with fill/stroke directly on top of the artboard..
Select all > Expand (selecting stroke only, not fill)
Deselect the cropping box and grouped the remaining objects.
Reselected the cropping box and grouped all objects
Pathfinder > Crop
I'm guessing it may have something to do with the fact I used a gradient on the flowers but have no idea how to resolve it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
PS. Please excuse me if this explanation is really poorly worded...I've only ever used Illustrator for fashion technical sketches so my knowledge is pretty limited.

Followed your advice above, and hopefully it will work. The only issue is it's a bit time consuming they way I'm doing it, as I'm having to delete the outermost objects first, then delete any objects which are partially inside the rectangle, otherwise I find some of the objects inside the rectangle are deleted too:
At the moment for the objects that are partially inside the box, I'm using the scissors tool to cut the path where it crosses the rectangle. Is there an easier solution to this problem?

In ical, why doesn't the alarms show after the time instead of just before

In iCal, for ALL my laptop and desktop computers, you are able to get an alert message before and after an event. I would like to also have AFTER the event on my iPhone, BUT there is NO AFTER option..........am I missing something?

Change
contentPane.add(textArea); // add the thing into the frameto
contentPane.add(scrollPane)and it should appear
Looking at your code you set the GridBagLayout manager to the ContentPane. You add the text area to the scrollpane and then try and specify the constraint of the textarea on the content pane, but its in the scrollpane. So you may want to change that too
Note that:
import java.io.*;
will import any classes required in the * directory meaning that you don't need the following line.
import java.io.IOException;
The same goes for
java.awt.*;
java.awt.event.*;
The java.lang package is imported as standard so you don't need to declare and import of this.
