Masked videos=white border in fullscreen?

if i capture some tv for example with an analog converter, it doens't fill the 640x480 window fully, so i make a mask to get rid of the black border. looks fine in it's window, but when i go to full screen, the entire movie has a fine (1 pixel) white border around it. (fine when full frame of lit stuff, but awful for dark scenes) if it was in the video it would be scaled along with the video to more than one pixel. if i use vlc or another player it ignores my mask. if i export to h.264 while masked it makes permanent grey or green 1 pixel wide bars on the side that get scaled along with the video (top and bottom fine) when i go fullscreen.
/just want a tv show with edges that disappear into the darkness
//if only h.264 exported masks right OR fullscreen played them right i'd be happy
any tricks out there?

i tried apple 1, 2, and 3 for actual, double, and full size, always a white border in full screen. at actual size the side borders are bigger than the top and bottom, double and full it's a crisp 1 pixel grey line all the way around. i made the mask file 481x641 and 482x642 with no changes at all, all of them cut way inside the edges of the picture to avoid that border.
strange part is at full size (more than double size for sure with these files) the border is exactly 1 pixel, not scaled up to 2.x pixels like you would expect if it was in the movie, not just the player sucking with masks. guess i'll hope someone notices and fixes in a future release. just like with the h.264 encoding border with masks. i guess the white border all the way around is better than a neon green one on the right side which i get with h.264
/someone not testing QT with simple rectangular masks it seems
here's a screenshot of my movie in fullscreen at double size so you can see the whole border:

How can I create a white border around figures that are in an image? (CS 6; examples+image included)

Hi,
I have CS6 and am wondering how to create a white ("comic style"?) border around figures in an image, as in the examples below. I don't wish to include the black shadow of the border, just the white part.
Examples:
Here's the image I'd like to alter, making a white border around the outline of all five figures:
I researched for quite a while but could find no instructions. It would be very much appreciated if someone knows and would be kind enough to share the technique! Thank you.

If you make the image a layer (opposed to Background)...
You could Select the blue with the Magic Wand as Semaphoric says, then fill with white. Then choose Select - Modify Selection - Contract, and mask or delete the remaining pixels. The Contract operation will give you a nice border the size you choose.
For extra credit, you could use Refine Edge to make the selection more accurate.
Click to see the image against a dark background.

White border problem when zooming with SWF in PDF

Hi Everyone,
I have posted my original querry in the Indesign forum:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5176893#5176893
I'm having problems with zooming whedn trying to create a PDF with SWF inserted.. at certain levels of zoom I get a white border on the left and right of the document which squashes the content into the middle and makes it a little pixelated. I also get a thin white border on the right when zooming out. Does anyone have any ideas where I might be going wrong?
Thanks,

Not wishing to be rude, but that workflow is not supposed to be used that way.
InDesign's ability to export SWFs is intended for showing the file in a Web page, and Acrobat's ability to embed SWFs is only intended for small annotations placed within the pages of a conventional PDF file. By placing the entire Layout as a SWF you are in effect playing the entire thing as a movie in Flash Player - all the advantages of the PDF format are completely lost, there is no vector-rendering of any content or text, and users will find it very hard to understand what's going on (the navigation buttons in Acrobat or Reader will not work, text is not searchable or accessible, multiple pages cannot be printed, etc.).
It's not entirely trivial to do this 'correctly', as at the moment we don't have full support in the PDF standard for all the interactive features that InDesign can apply to page objects - that's why they are grouped into PDF and non-PDF in the various selection menus in InDesign. Rather than saving as a SWF you should be using Export to Interactive PDF, and ensuring that the various interactive items and media are all selected on the export dialog.
Basic stuff such as links and video will export just fine that way, and the PDF will preserve everything else in the Layout as native text or graphics so it'll look fine, navigate properly and be searchable. Animations and buttons will not work as expected, so you may have to revise their behavior if PDF is your intended output destination.

White Border Around Template Images

I recently created a "page layout" document from a template. This is my first attempt to use a template and it was all going well. Until I hit "print." When I print the document, the images that were already part of the template are printing with a white border around them. It looks fine in Pages and when I go to Print Preview, but it comes off the printer looking funny. What's the deal?

Thanks for the clarification. I had a hard time selecting that white border around the photos. I couldn't even figure out what it was for awhile. I think the printing problem is related to that white border which is an image, photoBG_triple.png, that is behind the photos & their masks & on top of the lined paper image, notepaper.png. I think all that layering looks nice on screen or PDF, but could be a printing nightmare. How does it look funny? And what kind of printer are you using?

Problem with white border around images

Hey guys,
I'm new to the creative suite and have just finished running through all of the video tutorials, etc. I'm having a small problem which can be seen in the sample site I'm fooling around with here:
http://www.andrewedunn.com/gsd/
I'd like to get rid of the small white border around the "GS" logo. It is an illustrator document.
Basically I put the letters in place, converted them to paths (so I can resize it) and dropped it in my GoLive document as a smart object.
A google such suggested rasterizing, but I couldn't get it to work after fooling with it a little bit.
Further, if I wanted to add a drop shadow to it, how can I do it so that it is transparent on top of the background images in golive? The one time I tried it, the drop shadow was placed on top of a white background.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Are your background images always going to be displayed left-aligned on a black background and always the same size, so that the left half of the logo will always be over the photo and the right half will always be over the black? Or will the size or placement of the photos vary?
Are all of the photographs in approximately the same moderate tonal range, or will some be bright and some dark?
If the background will be consistently as you show it, you should be able to anti-alias your logo against a medium gray on the left and black on the right for acceptable results. If the background is more varied, you are not going to get good results with either GIF or JPG format.
See this related thread:
http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bc38b6e/3
> Further, if I wanted to add a drop shadow to it, how can I do it so that it is transparent on top of the background images in golive?
Only by exporting as a transparent PNG, but then older browers won't display it properly.
If you are really needing to have a logo that casts transparent drop shadows on top of a wide variety of images, you might consider going the Flash route, even though you aren't planning animation. Flash has very good transparency handling, and there are Flash player plugins that are compatible with browsers that won't display PNG images.

Thin white border around graphic

I created a rectangular black box in photoshop and brought it into FCP as a PNG. When I lie it down to the timeline, a thin white border is created around it. I want it to be a clean edge of just black. Can someone please tell me why this is happening...
thanks

Most Photoshp people assume ink is being placed on a white paper background. In video, everything is transparent or over black. How you saved yoru image in PS will affect how it gets presented in FCP because of this inability of most PS wonks to understand video.
If you build your PS stuff on black, the pixels around the edges will not be white.
But this begs the bigger question, why would you build a black box in PS when you can do simple stuff like that directly in FCP or otion?

Adding image/photo without a white border

Hello, I have searched these discussions and looked through help and cannot find an answer if there is one. I would like to be able to add an image or photo to a page without that automatic little white border . I do have photoshop if that helps. Is there a way to acomplish this? Thanks... having LOTS of fun with iWeb.

Hi, thanks, but I still get the white border around the outside of the graphic when I drag to an iWeb page. I created a gif, masked the white and saved with transparency checked, and on the graphic the white does not show, just the black vector art, but there is still a white border around the outside.
I would like to screencapture the background in iWeb and create an image on it in photoshop so that when I place it back into iWeb it will blend with the background and not have a white border. Not on a Photo page, but say, on the Welcome page. Can this be done or what am I doing wrong? Thanks:)

Can anybody say why In the layer menu the background color is white when opening a layer mask, and why does it automatically turns black by simply opening the layer mask properties menu? The vector mask is white anyway.

White border in composite

I have a series of PNG images (character and background) rendered out of Autodesk Maya (with Mental Ray) for compositing in AE.
They are the DiffuseNoShadow, Indirect, and Shadow pass. Premultiply was disabled.
I imported the sequences into AE, initially 'Straight'. For a foreground character, I screen the Indirect pass over the Diffuse in it's own comp, but notice a dark border. Interpreting the Indirect layer as being 'Premultiplied' fixes things somewhat, but leaves traces of a faint white border.
I would add a 'Matte Choke' to remove it, but since the layers have a "holdout" (from mental ray) doing so would create a black where the pixels were choked. Also there are some narrow areas I can't choke as they'll be removed.
Anyone have a solution to my border issue? My appreciation if you do!

Wow,
I actually wrote a plugin for AE for dealing witht this very issue

Sharpening white border

I've been testing Premiere Pro CS6.
When sharpening is applied (to footage from various DSLRs) a white border appears around the edge of the frame.
This is with sharpening at levels between 30 and 50.
The only solution I have found is to sharpen using an adjustment layer and to reduce its size to 99,8% so the edges are not included.
Is this a bug?
Thanks!

Thanks for the replies!
I've been away from the computer in question.
If you click on the images they will enlarge (although you'll only see half of them). If you "save as" you should be able to download the whole original image.
As far as I can see, this happens with all footage. At least from my Canons, a Sony NEX 7 and a Sony RX 100.
Perhaps I have something set wrong, but I don't see what...
Edit: After some more testing I see that this doesn't happen when I use the Unsharp Mask to sharpen so I'll have to stop being lazy and use that instead...

SWF file with white border

Hi
I'm trying to import an SWF file (with associated movie and captioning) into Acrobat Pro 9.
I'm placing it using a URL from my server.
The video places fine but I'm getting a white border top and bottom of the file. This is a problem as there is a coloured background to the Acrobat file I'm trying to place the movie.
The white border doesn't exist when I view the file in Flash.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Andy

Andy:
Have you checked the properties of the imported file. Control-Click on the file with the Video Tool and a fly-out menu will appear where you can bring up it's properties. You should be able to see if a border is set there.

Swf displays white border on dreamweaver pages

I have a problem with some swf files displaying a white border when displayed on a dreamweaver built page.
one file has borders on both sides, while another has the white border on both top and bottom of the swf file
I had guessed it was a masking issue but then doesnt seem to be the case.
Im running CS4 flash and dreamweaver on a mac pro.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

The problem was that I "allowed" deamweaver to add a border to the file. Who knew.

White border on cut out

I meticulously cut up a person by using the eraser tool but when I move her to a neutral gray background there is a white border around the cut out so it obviously looks pasted. Any suggestions?

John:
There are many ways to go about fixing her. The first would be to stop using the eraser tool in the future. Particularly for this application. Instead, learn to use a layer mask. You can then live preview your cutout on any background, including the one you intend to use. A typical approach is to test white, black and gray to quickly spot any artifacts.
To fix her, you can select the transparency of your lady by holding ctr and clicking on her layer icon in the layers palette (or load selection... woman layer transparency). You should now see the marching ants around her. Make sure your woman is the active layer, and then create a layer mask by hitting the mask icon at the bottom of the layers palette (the white circle in the gray box). Your selection should have disappeared and been replaced by a mask (black and white icon linked to your woman in the layers palette). Now, go to filter... other... minimize, and play with the value (probably 1 or 2) to see if this works.
