It's cutting the top of my video off!

I uploaded my video and it looks great but then when I move it up to the library for the last editing, it cuts off the top of my video. I'm interviewing a coach and part of his face is cut off. But when I put my mouse over the video, the video looks good. Then I push play and it cuts his face off.
What am I doing wrong?

Open the clip inspector for the clip (in your project) Go to the "Rotate, CROP, Ken Burns" tab of the inspector. Select FIT rather then CROP.
You can also go into Project Properties and set FIT as the default for new clips that you add to the project.

What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system is it running?
- Mac OSX; Premier Elements 11 v11
Where is the audio in the project - numbered audio tracks, Narration Track, and/or Soundtrack? Any chance that you are using a XviD.avi file?
- audio is either in the soundtrack , or in audio 2 when part of a video
Besides the full properties of your source file including file extension, what are the full export settings that you are using presumably for Publish+Share/Computer/MPEG?
- i was just using the default for MPEG, which is the NTSC DVD standard, file type MPEG2-DVD
What player are you using? Does the file playback video and audio using the VLC player? Does the problem exist in a new project?
- i have tried in quicktime and VLC, both have the same effect (picture works, staccato background noise). I have not tried in another file, but will do so now.

How can I Clip the top of a video.

I imported a home movie from DVD and when I play it on the computer I get this slim band of junk at the top of the screen. I want to clip it off. Is there a way to zoom in on the video or just clip off the top So I don't see it? I am using Quicktime 7Pro.
If Need be I can use imovie or Final Cut Pro 2 however in the end I would still like this movie to be an MP4 so I can get it on my iPod.
Thank you!!!

hi Drew:
Continuing what QTKirk said, here is a copy & paste from iDVD Guru Fred Shippey's "Recipe for Masking":
Here is the updated procedure - it will give you a black border (or whatever color you use for the mask):
Here is a procedure I put together several years ago to do what you are trying to do that has been changed for QuickTime Pro 7.x. (It may require some modification on your part.
1. Create a 640 x 480 black mask with a slightly lighter black 320 x 240 center in Photoshop. Save it as a JPG file.
2. Open your DiMage X movie in QuickTime Pro. Open the saved mask in another QuickTime Pro player.
3. Select the mask clip and edit->select all and then edit->copy
4. Select the DiMage X clip and then edit -> add to selection & scale
5. Next, select Window -> Show Movie Properties
6. Find the mask video track (Video 2).
7. Click to highlight video track 2 and then click Visual Settings.
8. Change layer setting (bottom center of menu) to 1 (it must be a larger number than the actual movie video track (Video 1)).
9. Click to highlight video track 1 (this should show the original movie).
10. In the Offset window, set the offset to 160 x 120. This will move the movie to the center of the mask.
11. Make sure all tracks are selected in the check boxes.
12. Export it as a DV stream. Bring it into iDVD.

Using the top button as an off button.

This is probably a stupid question, but say I'm listening to music, and after I'm done, I press the top button on the iPod touch (the one that turns the screen off- I think it's called the sleep button but I'm probably wrong). Does leaving it like this for the rest of the night really drain the battery, or not that much more than if it was on?
I ask because I turn if off each night, but the start up times are much longer than on my previous 4G iPod, and it's a bit of a pain each time.

i should imagine that it shouldn't drain your battery that much, seeing how the music isn't playing and the display is off. i think it should be similar to the sleep mode on laptops, so if you find it annoying waiting for it to boot up everytime, i would just leave it on sleep mode.

The Heading at the top blinks on and off. When it goes from blue to gray, I cannot type or use my mouse

The top of my screen with Firefox logo blinks blue and gray. When it goes to gray, I cannot type or use mouse...what's happening?

Adobe Premiere Pro CC is blanking the top of my video clips! Please Help!

I was just using this software for about an hour just fine. All of a sudden I drag a clip to the project media so I can put it in the sequence and this happens!
Now every video I drag in does this! I tried rendering it out and it is still there! *note* the black is not there when I watch the video in windows media player.
This project needs to be finished soon a promt response would be apreciated.
Thanks!

Sqeaking watery sound over the top of external video?!

Hi,
I was about to do some more work on a Heathrow video I am editing and I am outputting to external video through my camera. When I play any video or audio, the sound that is played through the external video is a high pitched squeaking wailing running water sound?! I need to be able to output video for colour work, but the audio is just a pain in the nuts. Whats wrong?
Thanks.

Is Heathrow a new video format? What camera would that be?
Your description isn't working for me which means we can't talk about "audio," only water noises.
First flush is that you have recorded improperly at a lower sampling rate.

Is it possible to see the top podcasts with video podcasts being included? In the UK about a quarter of the chart is clips from movies that have been and gone years ago (ie Over the Hedge???) This is making a mockery of the chart

The question is the heading. Damned Apple is letting us down

Hi there Neil,
That is correct. In order to use BlackBerry App World and other apps such as GMail, Facebook and Twitter, you need a BlackBerry data package and access to BIS. Without BIS access, these apps will not work correctly, although you can access GMail online via your browser and you can manually download apps via your computer.
I hope this info helps!

Why is there a green line at the top of videos I shoot on my iPhone 4s?

I got my iPhone 4s at launch and have been pretty happy with it. One thing that is bugging me however is the presence of a green line at the top of every video I have shot so far. The green line doesn't show up while shooting the video or playing it back on the phone but when I play it back on my computer its there. I've tried several computers and also made sure I was on the latest version of QuickTime and none of that has helped. I don't see any settings in QT that make it go away.

I need to make a correction it is the upper left for the camera.
It is also strange if I start recording in this position I can turn the IPhone around while recording without having the green line.

Cropping the top of photos off

Hi,
Lightroom is cropping the top of my photos off. I'm new at this still and I don't know how to fix it. The photo looks fine in Preview, so I'm at a loss. What did I do, and how can I fix this?

Video capture screen cut off at the top

I am waiting for my new elements 9 to show up on the licensing page, and perhaps this will solve the problem I am having in version 3 (I know, but like I said I am upgrading!) but I would like to import some video from tape and I have a problem I have never seen before. When I open the video capture page all is well except the top menu portion is cut off which presents a huge problem since the button to go back to the main page when import is complete is not there. The only way out is good old alt-cntl-del to close the whole program. Does anybody know how to fit the screen so everything shows? All my other applications fit perfectly. Its been getting bigger and bigger for the last week but until now I had the very bottom of the icon to click on. Cant wait for 9, not sure why it takes so much time to make it available for download and licensing...

Quicktime regularly updates so I assume I have the latest. I do have 3.02 and I just called up the program to get the version I am running and I see the problem has gone away. I now see the whole screen and am able to grab the edges and adjust the size, go figure... I am still waiting for my version 9, I expect this problem will not show up again once I update. Thanks for the help!

When uploading videos to iWeb, the video screen gets cut off at the top. It only happens in Firefox, but not in Safari.

I'm using pure HTML5 for mobile websites although you need to provide an OGG file for Firefox. See the movie page on this site...
http://mobile.ezmacwebdesign.com/
If you don't have an iPhone, grab the browser handle and drag it to the left to reduce the width to see how it responds to mobile devices' fixed width browsers .
This will play in all modern browsers and on mobile devices. You can use QuickTime Pro for the OGG or OGV conversion or get the freeware Miro Video Converter...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Easy-Movie-Player.html
If you only want to upload an MP4, you can use a flash fallback player and this will cover Firefox and those geriatrics that still use older versions of Internet Explorer....

If you use any of the four fallback players above, take advantage of the fact that you can add a poster image and stop the video file from preloading. This makes for a faster page download time.
You can also achieve this using HTML5 by adding preload="none" and poster="URL to the poster image" into the code shown on this page...

When i move a clip into the top project screen, it cuts off about an inch of video. im trying to make a chin face video so i need that inch. any help?

1) Make sure that your project is in the same aspect ratio as your camera. If your camera shoots 16:9. make a 16:9 project.
2) Check the clip inspector for the clip in your project to see if Image Stabilization is turned on. Stabilization works by zooming in, so you may want to turn it off.

Imovie 11: When moving clips from event to project, the top of the video clip is cut off.

I'm working with a new project. When I add clips from an event to the project window, the top of the video clip is cut off. Quite a bit of it is cut off. It happens on every clip. The aspect ratio is correct and I've set the video to fit in frame. How can I fix this? I would really appreciate any help.

You may have stabilization turned on in the project. On one of the clips, click on the small gear icon at the start of the clip and select Clip Adjustments. In the Inspector that opens, uncheck the box "Smooth Clip Motion" against Stabilization. If this fixes it for you, do the same for the other clips.
Also, it's a good idea to turn off certain preferences in iMovie>Preferences (an iMovie menu item). In the Browser tab uncheck the boxes for both "Automatically stabilize clips that have been analyzed" and "Apply rolling shutter correction for clips that have been analyzed". See this picture:
The stabilization process causes a zoomed in effect on the video, as it has to "average" the pixels in order to smooth any shaky motion. You therefore lose a certain amount of the picture, depending on the extent of stabilization applied. Here's what iMovie Help states (in part) about this process:
"iMovie stabilizes video by analyzing the camera motion in the video and then moving the picture the opposite way to steady it onscreen. In this process, iMovie zooms in on the picture slightly. The amount of unstable motion in the clip determines how much zooming is necessary.
Zooming in crops out some of the picture, but you can fine-tune the level of stabilization to strike the right balance between keeping the video steady and retaining as much of the picture as possible."
