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).

[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

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.

Dual Monitor has black bar on left

I have a 27" iMac running OS X 10.6.5 and have my second monitor (AOC 20" monitor with resolution of 1600 x 900 @ 60Hz). There is a black bar on the left side, can I get rid of this?

I rechecked my AOC and it's actually 22" with 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz, which is what I have me settings at.

Monitor has black sploches on it...

I have an I book G4 and the screen has 3 football looking black sploches about 1.5 inches x 2 on it. It looks like the screen is cracked, but it is not.
can you tell me what it is and how I can fix it. Is this the end of my trusty G4?

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.

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.

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?
http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/4668/picture9bt.png

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'?

Satellite A100-646 and external monitor shows black screen

Hello to everybody,
I have a similar problem with A100-646 (bought in Italy). Laptop's LCD and external monitor shows black screen but system boots without other problem. When laptop is not used for a long time (half a year) it work for one week without any problem.
Unfortunately, there is no proper service in a place where I live. Perhaps, there is a problem with power supply.
Is there other idea? Does anybody have a service manual? ([email protected])

It is not easy to find shop where you can order original and new hardware components.
Best source for such parts is definitely eBay where you can buy used but well working components.
Upgrade? You must know that upgrade on mobile computers is not the same as on desktops. Cooling possibilities are not the best and each notebook model has optimized cooling system for original parts. So new graphic card can be more powerful and produce more heat and it is definitely not good for your notebook. So best thing you can do is to replace it with original part.

IMac 27-inch with - Black borders around smaller resolutions

Hey,
Back with Boot Camp 3.0, I've had problems with the color depth. It said 32-bit while it appeared to be 16-bit. Now it's been fixed with Boot Camp 3.1.
However, I have an even more annoying problem now. I can't use the native resolution of my display because things are way too small on it. So I'm using the classic 1080p (1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz) resolution. Problem is, my computer is STILL in 2560 x 1440, and I see Windows 7 occupying 1920 x 1080 pixels, centered vertically and horizontally in the middle of my screen. Around it, there's huge black borders.................
I have a Radeon 4850 by the way. I read somewhere that it had to do with having two monitors, but never installed another monitor on this computer.
I've tried installing and reinstalling and uninstalling a bunch of official and non-official drivers from ATI. I guess I still haven't found the good one... or I haven't found the good option in Windows that fixes this.
Any idea? I know I'm not the only one with this problem, but I haven't found much information on the web about that.

Hi,
using the ATI Catalyst Control Center (usually part of the downloadable Catalyst Driver Suite) should provide an option in the Display properties to use lower than native resolutions 'stretched' (without the black borders).
http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx
Before installing drivers, it is always recomended to make a System restore Point and/or have a backup to revert back easily in case of troubles.
Also you should remove all remnants of older or other drivers using either the Windows "Software" option, a provided uninstaller or DriverSweeper.

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!

I turn my iMac on and it starts ok but after a minute the monitor goes black

I turn my iMac on and it starts ok but after a minute the monitor goes black, sometimes it comes back on sometimes it stays off, this has only happened since Apple replaced the hard drive.

Then, contact the Apple repair station that did the work.

Satellite L - LCD monitor flashing black after desktop loads

My LCD monitor has started flashing black at startup. It doesn't do it if I log off and log back in, only on startup. I can log in, the desktop loads and everything looks normal then after about 7 seconds everything goes black, then the taskbar quickly appears then disappears and then the desktop becomes visible again momentarily but goes black again. It repeats this very fast two or three times then starts normally.
Everything seems to be working fine otherwise. I disabled my antivirus so it wouldn't startup but that didn't help. I've done some registry cleaning lately so I restored everything back to well before this started and that didn't help either. I've done a lot of installing and uninstalling of software lately but can't pinpoint anything that might have caused it. This computer is about 2 years old. I have Vista 32 bit, service pack 2.
Anyone ever seen this before or have any ideas what the culprit might be? Really appreciate any advice.

OK, I connected a CRT monitor from another computer and it basically did it too. As the laptop screen was flashing off and on, the CRT screen went black and then came back on when the laptop went back to normal.
I think my graphics card is Intel Display Driver 7.15.10.1502. Does that sound right? I checked for an update through the Device Manager and it said no update is available. The same version is the only one listed at the Toshiba Downloads page. It's included with my Toshiba Application Installer so I'm tempted to uninstall/reinstall, but I'm afraid if it doesn't automatically install at at startup I won't have a monitor. Any advice on this or anything else is appreciated.

Mini ppc w/ beachball problem and attached monitor going black frequently

I am seriously considering replacing this mini. I believe as the poster yesterday concluded that the hard drive in this mini is on the verge of quitting. Reference beachball problem everytime any entry is made. I completely reformatted with zero overwrite and slowness was not cured. Drive is only about 30% of capacity. The attached monitor goes black (not to sleep) this will happen while data is being entered periodically many times a day. The monitor behaves perfectly when connected to another mini with same cables. I think there may be a video output problem. This unit is in a high demand area for making appointments, so I think it is time to replace although I don't want to because of software issues. I looked at external firewire comments, but so far I can't find the drives that will support being start up drives and the video out problem is still an issue. I have also thought of bringing my PPC iMac flat screen from home and upgrading at home, but it is 4-5 years old and I don't want to do this again in 6 months. Any comments will be appreciated. Thanks

Have you run the Apple hardware test on it? Or if you have Applecare, the TechTools Deluxe test? To run the Apple hardware test, insert the first OS X disc that came with the system, which should say 'AHT Version x.x' in small print on the label. Reboot, holding the option key down. Choose the Apple hardware test, click the arrow pointing to the right, and follow directions. Does it identify any issues?
If you click the blue Apple, and about this mac, does the memory show what it should be? If there were a memory issue with the RAM strip, where you were only getting reduced memory, that could contribute to the issues you're seeing.
A number of people with slowing systems, with frequent beach balls, have used OnyX to clean up their system, which has made a performance difference. You can get it from http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/download.html . Run the activities on the maintenance and cleaning tabs, which may require a reboot. Does that help?
One other thought, which is a stretch ... did you upgrade to 10.4.11 through the software update function or by installing the combo update? If by software update, you might want to download the combo version, and install it after you use OnyX. Repair permissions, install it, and repair permissions again, using Disk Utility. It's located at http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eppc.html

My 27in LED monitor goes black, pops then comes back on

Brand new 27in LED monitor goes black, popping sound comes from speakers (I think) then comes back on. Plugged into my brand new Macbook Pro 2.2 GHz i7. Unplugged every thing and it still does it. Has most recent firmware. Just started after five days of ownership. Do I need to take it back to the Apple Store?
