I need help cropping black border I am editing news footage at home!

All info about this leads to instructions for old versions, etc...I just got a $600 program to convert footage but want to use PE8 to change levels, non red key, luma, etc.  I CANNOT figure this out.  There is no help anywhere.  I got over 30 hours into this project and the result is something I can't use.  PLEASE HELP!  I need this FINISHED by next Tuesday which means I need to export this READY TO CUT now so I can work with it in another program.

From what your wrote, I am assuming that your Panasonic HVX200 original recorded 720p30 (1280 x 720) with what is said to be its DVDPRO HD Codec. Why did you “convert” that with the Edius Pro software and to what did you convert it? I know that you say 1280 x 720, but….
Please take that the 1280 x 720 (Edius conversion product) that you are using for video editing in Premiere Elements and run it through the free utility named gspot.
http://www.headbands.com/gspot/v26x/quick_start.html
and let us know the video’s properties, especially
Video. Codec Name Status
Audio. Codec Name Status
Frame Size and Frame Rate
Sar, Par, and Dar values
If you set your Premiere Elements project preset (new project dialog) for NTSC HDV HDV 720p and you import 1280 x 720 16:9 Square Pixels video into that project, you should not be seeing black borders in the template in the Edit Mode Monitor of the program. (In Edit Menu/Preferences/General, do you have a check mark next to "Default Scale to Frame Size"?)
Also, the party line is that once you set a project preset (new project dialog) for a project and open that project, you cannot reset the project preset. To the contrary, you can do that, at least in Premiere Elements 7.0, by editing the Notepad or WordPad document for the project whose project preset you want to change. I and others done that. I have not tried that in Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1. I will do that today and report back.
As for copying and pasting between projects. A program called ClipMate has been used in some cases. I have done a how to on that
http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51325&highlight=Clipmate
As for the Interpret Footage, there is no reason why you should have to involve this in this matter. I suspect that more details on your use of the Edius product for conversion to ??? will shed some light on this situation.

    I am puzzled by this. The laptop doesn't need the Apple ID - but iTunes does. I could be missing something but ....
    Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
    I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID?

  • Need help estimating processing power required to support new process

    Hi,
    I am putting up a new server spec for a new project. I need help estimating processor power I need.
    Here are, in short, the steps of the main process:
    - Load the data:
    Incoming file contains 160 mln rows. The SIZE of this file is 250 GB. The file has about 60 columns, out of that I upload 50 into my table.
    Record length is 1500 bytes, in the table.
    - Validation/calculations:
    After the upload I validate EACH row in this table against 20 rules that are defined in the RULES table.
    It is all math, like this column plus that column must be equal to this number, and validate the third column against this number.
    - Output stage:
    Records that pass validation go to one table, those that didn't go to the other table.
    Then the first table (with good records) is extracted to a file. Those from the "wrong" table are also get inserted into "review" table
    This whole process should take about 5-6 hrs.
    This file contains 6 month of data.
    Some times, I will run validation against 2 year worth of data, means validate two "annual" tables, each one is 500 GB in size. According to the requirements, this process should take no more than 1 day.
    For this process I write hardware spec for a new server.
    I have a hard time figuring out how much processor power I need for this process? to validate this much data in that much time.
    Is there any formula or a guideline to tell what processor I need? I was looking at this one, but I wish I could estimate before I buy and try (and possibly fail, and have a biiiiig problems)
    Intel Xeon E5-2640 (6 core, 2.50 GHz, 15MB, 95W)
    Number of processors: 2
    RAM: 16GB
    Any help is very appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

  • HT1338 hello! I need help, how come I can't receive new messages on my mail in my Macbook Pro? but I can receive it on my Iphone4s. thanx!

    hi there! can somebody please help me. I can't receive new messages in my MacBook Pro, what should I do? I can read them in my IPhone though. Thanx!

    Yes I was able to send but not receive - I actually was able to solve it myself
    Everything on the menu bar was greyed out - so nothing there helped me @ all
    Connection Doctor didn't show anything wrong
    activity box was completely blank
    shutdown - restart didn't work
    I used the help option    - still nothing
    All the while my phone was vibrating like crazy with new emails
    It was really frustrating & it seemed apple themselves don't have any real solutions to offer
    My instincts told me to delete the email completely - so I did
    After a few min I added the email account like a new one and it eventually worked - all my new emails were there, I still don't know why it stopped in the 1st place  
    Pretty much all the problems I run into I troubleshoot myself and find the solution

  • Need HELP cropping hdv

    ok. i have an hdv project which is 1440x1080.
    i need to provide it to a web designer to place in a window that is 438x146. That is a 3:1 ratio, and so i am using a mask in fcp that is 1440x480.--same ratio.
    The web designer did his own test, and gave me a movie that is 438x146. Visually, his movie's proportions don't match mine--his movie looks significantly taller than mine. I can't figure out why!
    What is causing this discrepancy? Why does my mask--which i've made in photoshop--look more like 4 times as long as it is tall, when mathematically it is 3 actually only 3 times?
    thank you for any insight!!!
    danny

    thanks guys. another question--and sorry for changing the subject...
    once i get my unusual cropping set up, how can i creat a movie, through compressor, that conforms to those dimensions (438x146)--ie, with no letterbox--simply a long,squat quicktime. i'm trying to crop in compressor, but it's not having any effect.
    thanks for any thoughts.

  • Need help solving black photo issue

    Since I migrated my photo library from iPhoto 5 to iPhoto 6 I have the following problem with some photos:
    (1) the thumbnails looks ok, but the full size image is black;
    (2) this problem is temporarily solved if the concerned photo is first open in an external program (Preview, Photoshop Element, ...): after that I can again see the full size image in iPhoto.
    All the concerned photos have been processed with Photoshop Element 3, but not all photos I have processed suffer from this problem.
    I would greatly appreciate any help!

  • New to Photoshop (CS4Ext) and need help with basic loading of images to new folder.

    Just purchased CS4Ext and installed it. It's not showing up on my desktop as a quick entry icon. I want to simply load images from a portable hard drive (USB) to a new folder in photoshop so I can review them and begin to select  and separate out some of interest to manipulate  and share or get ready to print. It 's the most basic help one can need butI'm jut not clear on the workflow steps . Would appreciate someone walking me through the steps .
    Thanks much

    Let's see…   First of all, this is the Photoshop Macintosh forum.  Installed applications never, ever show up on your desktop as a "quick entry" icon on a Mac.  Are you on a Windows PC maybe?

    Just select them with your mouse in the Finder and drag-copy them into the new folder.  Done.

  • I need help re-installing my OS on a new hard drive. Having MAJOR issues with this simple task.

    I have a MacBook Pro 15" (mid 2009) I recently needed to get a new hard drive for it, the old one stopped working. It came with OS X Snow Leopard already installed from Apple, and it also came with the install disks. I have booted up using the install disks and put OS X Snow Leopard back on the computer.
    I tried booting with a USB install disk of OS X Lion (10.7) but had no luck on multiple occasions. It would only get through the initial step of the install and then say it couldn't download additional components needed for OS X 
    So finally, I decided to try a full erase and reformat of my brand new hard drive (less than a week old) and stated with the basic software that came with the computer. Installing that worked fine, until I tried to do a software update through the built in program. My computer refused to download 10.6.8 from the apple servers, so I had to find it on a 3rd party website. Once I found it and downloaded it, I finally got it installed. There were 12 more updates after I did 10.6.8 and none of them worked when I tried downloading and installing as a group. I had to do each one individually, the last one being a security update.
    Up to this point, the Mac App Store didn't work (even after the 10.6.8 update), I couldn't download any of my previous purchases. I needed to download lion, to see if having it on the Mac hard drive itself would help with the install, but I couldn't do that until after the security update.
    Other than that, the Mac worked normally except for during each start up, the apple logo would flash along with the forbidden sign and the folder with a question mark on it. It flashed for a few seconds randomly, then would boot up normally or say that my computer would need to be restarted.i figured this issue would be fixed after I successfully installed lion.
    FINALLY I got the App Store to download lion, and began the install process. Halfway through the install, it failed and when I tried to restart the computer, it continuously flashes through those three symbols at startup. I can't get it to do anything else. I'm so ****** off I'm ready to just sell it for parts.
    My questions are:
          1. Can I install OS X Lion OR OS X Mountain Lion clean from the start after a full format of the hard drive?
          2. How do I go about installing clean and get my computer to stop flashing those symbols during start up?
    *I have performed the Apple Hardware extended test and all systems are reporting normal function*

    Okay, so, fast forward from July to now -
    - I've visited my closest Apple store's genius bar twice now. (Over an hour and a half away.)
    - My computer spent at least 8 hours behind their closed doors in the workshop
    - Several complete erases of the harddrive have taken place
    - Most of the Apple geniuses I dealt with were nice and very knowledgeable, but they were and still aren't 100% sure exactly what is wrong with my computer.
    The good news is:
    - They were able to at least get it running again, with a clean install from their servers of OS X Lion 10.7.5
    - They believe that my problems stem from either 1 of 2 things:
            - Faulty Hard Drive (even though it is brand new)
             - The wrong build of software being installed.
    Now, while the wrong build does seem like it could be the problem, it doesn't make sense in the aspect that all of the initial problems began when the first hard drive failed. The same problems continued when I changed out the failed hard drive with the brand spanking new one, and only slightly improved when I was able to successfully install the OS that came with the original disks for my computer. I'm not convinced this thing is back to normal, but hopefully I can make it last through getting a shiny new retina Macbook Pro in the coming future. Thank you so much to everyone who read and replied to this post!

  • Need help moving photoshop 7.0.1 to new computer

    I hope everyone is doing well. I also hope someone can help me out. I need to move/load Photoshop 7.0.1 onto a different computer - o/s Windows XP Professional v.2002. We are a small company with no IT department and the original CDs and product keys/proof of purchase are lonnnnnnnnng gone. Upgrading is not an option at this time, the powers that be will most likely tell me to do my photoshop work on the laptop, but I want everything at my fingertips at my desk. Too much to ask? Apparently it is because I cannot figure out how to load onto my desktop.
    I've read, in several places, that Adobe allows the user to download the software to two computers, but I don't know if its ever been loaded elsewhere and when I moved the file from my laptop to our rustic server - didn't work. Then I tried copying everything to a memory stick and moving it to my new computer BUT there is no .exe file when I do this. I can't make it run. And never did I receive an messages that scream - hey you, you can't load this on more than two computers.
    I called Adobe and they informed me that they no longer support this version over the phone and that I should check out the forums. Unfortunately, I cannot find the info I need on the forum. Perhaps I'm using the wrong terminology in my search - I have tried several variations...loading, moving, reinstalling....and come up empty. Actually, come up with lots of stuff (from years ago) that doesn't help. In one post I thought could be the holy grail, there was a link that bottomed out - took me nowhere.
    I don't what else to do, I don't know what the google anymore. I'm hopeful someone has an answer other than an upgrade. Thanks.

    Note that I am assuming you're properly licensed to be able to run the app on your new computer.  I do not propose doing anything illegal.
    With the ollld versions of Photoshop, like the one you have, you can try going through a process like this:
    1.  Copy the entire c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0 folder to the new computer.
    2.  Try to run Photoshop on the new computer.
    3.  Note any "missing DLL" message.
    4.  Locate the DLL on the old computer (e.g., in C:\Windows\System32 or wherever), and copy it to the same place on the new computer.
    5.  Repeat steps 2 through 4 until no more "missing DLL" messages present themselves.
    There may be other types of messages you'll see.  They're usually descriptive enough to be able to determine what it's looking for that it does not have.  If you get one you're unsure of how to handle, post it here.

  • NEED HELP PLEASE / GREEN LIGHT LINE IN EDITING TIME LINE

    Hello,
    I am editing a video using premier 6.5.
    When I render the video edited the red line in the work space pass to dark green what is normal, but also appears a smal portion of the video with a light green line in the rendered area.
    When i play the video and the reader pass through this light green part the sound sudently increasy 80%.
    I tried everything even re editing that section but the light green line keep appearing after rendering and the sound problem back.
    This part of the editing where the light green line is have many sound tracks but the sound level is the same to the rest of video so dont understand why that happen
    can anyone help please?

    Hi thanks for your reply.
    When i render the time line a dark green line appears...as u say that show the working area has been rendered but in this case also other extra line appears in part of the video ( only in a section) the line is light green ...diferent to the other
    when I play video and pass though this light green line the music tract gets extra loud 80% higher.
    When I play again the video to check if the other parts has been affected I can see all sound levels have changed and need to use audio mixer to balance them again. In spite of that when pass thought light green line all happen again.
    could be that the sound tracks have different formats? in that section where the problrem is I have 6 diferent sound tracks overlaped but the sound level is the same for all so do not understand why when i render appear this green extra line
