IMovie iDVD cuts off left side and bottom of pics/vids of TV screen

For as long as i have had iMovie, I have always had this problem where the left side and bottom of the pictures and videos are cut off and cannot be seen on the TV screen. If there is anyone out there who knows something about this, has an answer, or even a suggestion, it would be greatly appreciated if I heard back from you. I have a Mac OSX 10.0 and have iLife 06 if that helps. Thanks a lot.
Mike.

Hello Mike,
a bit of "cropping" is normal - it's called overscan - but you say that the it occurs only at the bottom and left side .... are you sure it doesn't affect the whole picture? If I'm wrong post back with some more details about your footage and workflow.
Also: does this only ocurr on DVD or also if you play from iMovie through to camera?
The TV Safe Area:
Anything within the outer 5% of your frame is going to disappear when viewed on a TV ( e.g. Rolling Credits). Inside this 5% is known as the Action Safe area and is produced by a TV behaviour called overscan. Anything within the outer 10% of your image area is not displayed as clearly as the part of the image within that border. The "sharp" 80% of your TV monitor is known as the TV Safe area.
NOTE: "TV Safe" only applies to video shown on a TV set. On a computer monitor, this can be pretty much ignored
hope this helps

  • I use a GoPro 960 30.  When I use imovie it cuts off the feet and the head

    I am using a GoPro at 960 30
    When i use imovie it cuts off the feet and the head.
    how do I prevent that?

    Here are some things to check.
    If possible, set the aspect ratio of your project to the same aspect ratio as your camera. This will be either 16:9 or 4:3.
    If your clips or photos are not the same as your project's aspect ratio, you can select a project clip and
    click on the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool. FIT will make the movie fill out the screen by Letterboxing. Crop will cut off the edges to fill the screen.
    Finally, you may have analyzed for stabilization, and then had stabilization automatically applied in your project. Stabilization works by zooming in. You can select a project clip and open the Clip Inspector. You can turn off stabilization, or you can move the slider so there is less zoom.

  • Why does ipad cut off left side of page?

    What do you do to see left side of page which is cut off?

    If you have Zoom enabled, that could cut off the left side of the screen, but everything would appear very large on the screen as well.
    Settings>General>Accessibility>Zoom>On. You want to turn it off. Double tap three fingers and drag to change Zoom. You can see the instructions below.
    If that's not the problem - try rebooting the iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Cut off the top and left sides of iFrame?

    I have a page I'd like to place as an iFrame in another page.
    Is it possible to move the framed page up and to the left so
    that the
    frame cuts off the top and left sides of the framed page?

    Jim,
    Thanks a TON!  That worked well.  It took me a bit longer to key it because the keyer didn't key out all of the color to black as well with the compound clip but I was able to make it happen.  Video is up and I appreciate the help!

  • AVI to DVD using iDVD cuts off sides of the movie

    I have various avi movies and while trying to burn them to DVD using iDVD I have been experiencing the following problem: The left, right, top and bottom of the movie are cut off (imagine putting two layers of duct tape on you screen making your screen smaller and then watching a movie on it).
    I have a widescreen TV and have tried both the widescreen and standard format with little success. The only difference in on the standard version I can see the entire menu (in the wide screen version, oddly enough, the screen is cut off).
    Is there something on iDVD I can do to adjust the ratio to shrink the movie to fit the screen, or do I have to format the movie somehow before bringing it into iDVD.
    I appreciate any advice or help anyone can offer.

    The problem with that is the green screen I get if I add it to the slide show.
    That's the first time I've heard of that. Thanks for the feedback. There's are two possible workarounds if you want to try them:
    1 - open the movie in Quicktime Player and export as full quality DV and use that in the slideshow.
    2 - if you've installed Perian on your Mac uninstall it, save the iDVD project as a disk image and see if the green is still there or not.
    There's a third way, with Quicktime Pro and an Applescript, to mask the movie so that it will be in the TV Safe area. If you find you want to try post back.

  • Can I shrink the iTunes webpage on my PC monitor so it does not cut off the right and left margins?

    Can I shrink the iTunes webpage on my PC monitor slightly so it does not cut off the right and left margins?

    Can you?  Are you capable of resizing the window?
    Only you can answer that question.
    If you want to know if it is possible, yes, it is possible.

  • The bottom of my .swf image cuts off in firefox and IE, could anyone help?

    Hello,
    I've put a .swf image into iweb using the HTML widget. It's supposed to be animated except for in iphone and ipad in which case it will remain static.
    I have two problems, firstly, whilst it works fine in safari and chrome, the bottom is cut off in IE and firefox. Secondly, I don't seem to be able to position it quite correctly in terms of vertical alignment on the page or its size. The problem is shown on the home page of the site: www.n2mediation.com (The other pages as yet have a static image).
    I realise that this is a known problem. It's my first attempt at iweb and I've never seen HTML in my life before so if anyone could advise in simple terms which elements of the code to change I'd really appreciate the help.
    Thank you
    Trix44

    Oh, thank you, I'm sorry, I hadn't understood what to do.
    Everything about the animated image is now fixed brilliantly - the size, the alignment, and the bottom isn't cut off. Thank you.
    The only thing I don't know what to do about now is how to have the static image load on ipad and iphone (because I understand that .swf files don't work on these devices). Currently the image doesn't load at all, it's blank space. Could you please advise how I should adapt the code to insert the static image if the device isn't flash compatible. The path of the static image is http://www.n2mediation.com/Fotolia_43355604_XL.jpg

    Yes, the product number would be helpful.  Please don't provide the Serial #, however.
    I believe your problem may be that the monitor is not compatible with Win 8.1.  The only updates that are available are for Win XP and Vista.  You can find this information in the link that I provided under the section titled "Software Update".

  • 4x6 print in PSE12:cannot crop thin white edge rt.side and bottom

    When printing 4x6 prints in PSE12, the print leaves a thin, white edge on the right side and bottom of the print. I have attempted to correct this through cropping, but the thin white edge remains. Computer is HP notebook running windows 7, printer is HP 7510. I should not have to cut the edge off the print to correct this. Please help!
    Thank you so much.

    Possibly a printer limitation. Check the printer driver for a 'borderless' setting and see if that makes any difference. Also check your photo paper size - 4" x 6" and 10cm x 15cm are often used interchangeably, but they are actually different sizes.

  • My screen on my MacBook Pro blacks out constantly. If I press on the bottom left side of the MacBook, I can keep the screen on. I have been placing a small note pad to keep pressure on the bottom in order to keep the screen lit up.

    You should try taking the battery out and putting it back in, but then if that doesn't work, you should take it into your Apple Retail Store and have a genius at the Genius Bar take a look. That seems like a hardware problem to me.

    Hi chrismarks1,
    I think you may be confusing bookmarks with thumbnails. If you click the Page Thumbnails icon (the one above the Bookmarks icon), then you can delete a page by clicking its thumbnail, and clicking the Delete Pages icon (the trashcan icon). Just make sure that you're viewing the PDF file in Acrobat (rather than Acrobat Reader), as you can't delete pages from Reader.

    Hello there stidhambr15,
    I was researching the issue you are having and recommend a couple of things. First it might be a good idea to reset the device following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't quite get the device going again, I recommend restoring the device.

    Might even be a good idea to turn off the phone, reseat the SIM card, and turn it back on.
