[i3] urxvt has black borders...

Hi there
I'm trying out the i3 window manager and it seems to be quite nice except for one little thing that is driving me mad.
urxvt always appears with some black borders around it and I don't know how to remove them.
I really can't understand if the responsible for this behaviour is i3 or urxvt but I noticed that:
- the empty space at the bottom is black too even if I use 'xsetroot -solid "1A1A1A" in my .xinitrc
- the same .Xdefaults in wmii works perfectly without black borders at all.
Is anyone able to help me? Any hint would be much appreciated.
I'm attaching some files that may be important to solve the issue:
~/.xinitrc
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xinitrc
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
# exec startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice
# add terminus and dina fonts to xfontsel

# set background and wallpaper

You will most probably have those borders in wmii, too. I have them.
It really is an urxvt issue. There is something in the manpages about it, I think (not sure).
I doesn't bother me too much so I just left them there.

720p video in 1080p timeline has black borders

Hello,
I have Premiere Cs6, with Windows 7.
I want to mix 1080/50p and 720/30p videos, and correctly downsize it to 720/25p in Adobe Media Encoder.
1. When I choose 720/25p timeline, all the 1080p videos looks like zoomed (the middle of the video image can be seen). The 720p videos are fine
2. If I choose 1080/25p timeline, the 1080p videos are fine, but the 720p ones has black border on all 4 sides:
http://img861.imageshack.us/img861/6306/69202278.jpg
Please help me how to do it correctly, to be able tho get a proper 720/25p video from these sources, without borders.
Thank you!

The timeline should match the final output so use a 720p25 timeline.
If you have a 720p as your output you have a 1280x720 canvas. If you drop a 1920x1080 video on it will be too big. Do as SAFEHARBOR11 said....
In Premiere Preferences, there is a checkbox for "Default Scale to Frame Size". If you enable that, when you Import clips they will automatically fit the current editing size.
...OR for each clip open up the effects->motion and change the scale of the 1080p footage (1280/1920=66.6666%) - it won't divide nicely so you'll have to do 66 instead of 67% so that you don't get black edges.
As for output frame rate... do you have to do 25fps? If it's not for broadcast - it is my understanding that most PAL countries have BD players that can understand 24fps as well. I say this because maybe you'd be better off retiming the 50i footage to 48i (a 4% slowdown) and thus 24fps. You do this by right clicking and Interpret Footage-> 24fps instead of its 25fps.
You can then edit between the two cameras without throwing frames on the floor since the 720p30 will 3:2 pulldown to 24fps too.
BUT, you only need to do that if the shudder from dropping 1 in 25 frames on the floor has a worse look than slowing down the original footage. It is easier if you're editing back and forth with the two cameras to drop those frames but perhaps slowing down would be better for you.
Some professionals cringe at the idea of throwing frames on the floor, others that the original is slowed down. It's up to you.
As some food for thought....
When I was on the DVD authoring team for the "Dune" release in Australia ('98) the telecine of the original film was sped up from 24 to 25fps. We then sped up and pitch shifted back down the 5.1 audio track to match.
Another example [I didn't work on] is "The Thomas Crown Affair" release in the USA. The title menus must have been done in the UK (or Oz) and not pitch shifted because it has a 4% higher pitched music vs the film. - it's very noticeable because from the root menu it goes straight to the same piano tune in the film and drops a couple tones. (^dink dink dink^.... ^dunk dunk dunk^) In the film itself you have no idea that the feature was [or was not] stretched 4% to fit to 25fps or 30fps (ie 24fps original 3:2 pullup).

How do I get clips resized for youtube without extra black borders?

Hi Ya,
I have some concert footage that I edited in FCP (some in 4.3, some in 16.9) that I have montaged together to form a "sampler" of what the act in question have done over the years. I want to put this on youtube, which needs a 320x240 frame size so I created a 320x240 sequence, added my montage to this, resized the clip til I was happy and exported. No matter what setting I use to export, I seem to end up with a box that has black borders round the movie instead of the movie filling the 320x240 frame, except when I DON"T specify 320x240 as an export size, in which case I get a movie that looks ok but it's 576x520! (i'm UK based so the 4.3 footage was this size??)
Any suggestions?
Many Thanks
Gareth

Hi
this had me stumped for a long time, but i think whats happening is that the quicktime movie player window defaults to a bigger size than 320 x 240, so it shows the movie at its correct sizer in a bigger window. if you resize the window the black sidebars go away. the movie properties say the movie is the correct size, so it should be fine. if you embed it in an html page it plays correctly as well.

Settings dimensions - can't get rid of black borders

Hi
I'm using Final Cut Express 4.0.1. I have a 30sec quicktime movie that I need to import and then add some music too and then export with the same dimensions. The current dimensions are 1024x567. However even when I set dimensions to the custom setting of 1024x567 when exporting I end up with black borders at the top and the bottom of the movie. I think part of the problem is that I need to change settings in FCE before I export as when Im looking at the movie in the 'canvas' box it has those same black borders. However I cant seem find any where to change the main project settings...
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
I tried to follow your instructions and this is what it looked like in FCE.
[IMG]http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n284/Jampig/Screenshot2010-06-03at131510.png[/IMG]
When I export it either as anamorphic or something else the black borders are still there.
The properties of the original clip are
Dimensions: 1024x576
codecs: AAC, H.264
Color profile: HD (1-1-1)
Is that what you were after?
Thanks!

IStabilize black borders

Hello all,
I have recently tried the demo version of iStabilize in iMovie HD5. It works very well and I will buy it if I can remove the black borders that appear around the edges after the stabilizing process has been completed.
On a previous post Tom Wolsky,(writer of many great books),suggested scaling up the image. Does anyone know how to do this?
Any help would be much appreciated.

the stabilize plug-in in the Slick8 package from geethree.com does the zoom-in automatically.. = no black borders..

and iM09's stabilize effect adds no borders too..

How to fix black borders around transparent PNG files?

Hello,
Recently, iMovie has started putting black borders around transparent PNGs. How can I fix this?

Any way to fix the alpha transparency when importing PNG files to iMovie 09?
I just know the two options - wrong (8bit) png or that plugin, which in an older version destroyed transparency..
what also make transparent-to-black is, when you 'manipulate' the imported png, esp. adding a *KenBurns Effect* - that kills transparency instantly.
for test purposes:
• create a new project
• create a new png with some traansparency
• add new png to new project - same result?
and just to avoid EVERY problem: your sys preferences/Monitor is set to 'million colors'?

Problem rotate Image black borders appear??!!

Hi I'm using a method to rotate an image file (exactly a buffered image inside the rotate method).
That works fine, i get a new image which has been rotated but black borders appear!!!
Is there a way with the renderinghints or something else to remove these borders (or put them in white)??
here is what I use for the moment :
g.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION,
RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BICUBIC );
Any idea would be appreciated...

I haven't seen that happen. Perhaps your math is off by one? Could you post a minimal program
that demonstrates this, using a generated image, or an image from an accessible URL?
To change the color of the "border", you could fillRect() your target image with white first...

Large black borders arond Canvas View

I have footage imported from a Canon XH-A1 at 720 x 480, when I drag it to the Canvas viewer it displays with large black borders around it and any exports look the same. Looks normal in Viewer. Also must be RENDERED to be viewable in Timeline, which did not used to be an issue - something has changed, but I am not sure what!
Capture preset is DV NTSC 48KHZ, camera is not in HD or wide screen mode. Footage seems to look OK if I import it into iMovie HD, not my preferred editor due to the length of clips being edited.

Black borders forming around screen

HELP! My 14" iBook G4 (just over a year old) is forming black borders around the display screen. Is there a freeware or tweak to get rid of it by extending the screen like Windows has? I tried to take a screenshot but it doesn't appear in it.

Woohoo - I can't believe that this was the problem, but search is a wonderful thing >> answer is here...

Sorry for posting this in a few places, but I was desperate for a fix!

I plugged my macbook pro into an external monitor, then unplugged it later and now it is stuck with black borders on top and bottom and zoomed out like it is still on the monitor. How do I fix it?

I started using my external monitor with my macbook pro and as soon as I plug it in it to the monitor it adjusts the screen by zooming out a bit and creating about 3/4 of an inch black borders on the top and bottom of the screen. But these dont show up on the monitor so I assumed it was fine. But when I took it off the monitor, the borders were still there like it was still on the monitor. Any hellp? Its starting to mess with my eyes haha.

Hi aefulcher,
It sounds like you had the external display set to mirror the internal display so the resolution(s) were changed to match each other.

Black Borders when playing games

Hey,
so lately, I got a new HP Envy TouchSmart laptop. Everything is alright except: When I run games at a native ( 1920x1080p ) resolution, everything is fine. But when I lower down the resolution, on my screen, black borders apear all around the sides. So this means, that it doesn't stretch. Altough, if I set the games mode to Borderless, it fixes the problem, but still it's anoying in some games.
I tried many ways to fix this ( which I found from the internet ) : Trying to lower the resolution in desktop and setting Scale On Fullscreen; updating the Intel drivers, downloading apps...
I really need help with this, as not all of the games have a Borderless mode ( eg. AC4 ).
System Specifications:
Intel i7 4702MQ @2.2ghz boost up to 3.2ghz
Intel HD Graphics 4600 ( Integrated ) - Driver 10.18.10.3960
Nvidia 750M ( Dedicated )
8gb ram
TouchSmart
Thanks for any information, I would really like to fix this

By far the most common problem hardware-wise seems to be scuffs on the aluminium. Yours is the first report of a faulty screen I've seen.
If you use the same Apple ID on both devices it'll sync whatever you want it to - music/apps/photos/messages/etc.
I've just switched from a Galaxy S3 to iPhone 5 (having already owned an iPad for a while) so I'm in a similar position!

Have a MacBook Pro. the computer will not boot up, the screen has black and white stripes and multi color bands as well.

Yeah it's dead. Take it to an Apple Genius Bar and have it checked out. Then buy a new one.
