New video clips only show bottom half of frame

Video clips shot with my new video camera only show the bottom half of the frame in Premiere Elements 3.0. Older video clips show up just fine.

You say that this 1/2 video display is related to video from your new camera and Premiere Elements 3.
The problem of the 1/2 video display has been associated specifically with .wmv format and a recent Windows Update kb file.
But, I would ask, just whar brand/model camera do you have that is shooting .wmv video?
By the way, what computer operating system are you running Premiere Elements 3 on....Windows 7 32 or 64 bit or Windows XP 32 bit?
The Announcement that we have post at the top of this forum is as follows:
Announcement: Windows Update Causes Half of Display to Be Blacked Out
Hide Details
MicroSoft has issued an Update for Windows, that is causing problems with Displays. The following is from Talbot McInnis, who tracked down this problem, and offers a fix:
"MS bulliten MS13-057. Specifically, on XP kb2834904 and on windows 7 kb2803821 is causing a problem
For us, it occurs when decoding WMV9 files. Not all uses of WMV decoding are affected, but I confirmed that when connecting the WMV decode DLL to a sample grabber for RGB32 video, the frames arrive black on top, so that points directly to decoding internals of the WMV Decode dll.
You can uninstall these windows updates to resolve your problem."
There are several threads on the problem that this Update is causing on the PrE and PrPro Forums, so one can get more details. So far, there is not another fix from either MS, or Adobe.
Also, see this Adobe KB Article: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/wmv-files-corrupted-import-or.h tml
This notice suggests deleting Windows Update kb 2834904 for Windows XP, and Windows Update kb 2803821 for Windows 7. So, please let us know your situation and whether any of this applies to you and whether your problem was solved by taking one of these actions.
Thank you.

Some video clips only show as white

I have recently installed SpeedGrade on a new workstation and I am having issues with some video content only showing as pure white. I have DNxHD 175 1080p/23.976 footage recorded on an Atomos Ninja blade and h.264 1080p/23.976 24Mbps footage recorded on a Nikon D610. On my MacBook both will show in Speed Grade, on my workstation only the D610 footage in h.264 will show. The Ninja footage in DNxHD just shows as a solid white block. Understandably I want to grade the Ninja footage
I am running Speed Grade 8.2x51 on Windows 8.1 with the following machine spec:
Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 2.5Ghz with 12 cores
128GB DDR 4 RAM
Nvidia Quadro K6000
Has anyone else come across this and know a solution ?

Yea, first project I tried to experiment with DNxHD I'd downloaded a clip, and the flipping thing didn't play right. Had a few questions here & elsewhere ... then after several posts about this or that potential problem, someone asked ... "so, like, dude, you DID install the codec before trying this, right?"
My ... um ... oopsies ... no ... hadn't even thought about whether it was a "built-in" codec or not, and everyone trying to help assumed I'd known enough to do that step. So, yes, I learned about this the wonderful hard-knocks way. And now I'm a much more enlightened person who keeps finding new and wonderfully more silly ways to dig a hole to stumble into.
For so many things, direct mode is a slicker way of working. Use it when you can, which is mostly. SpeedGrade has some occasional problems if say you try & key-frame a mask for grading, sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. You need to remember that in Direct Mode Sg is NOT allowed to "play" with the PrPro-created timeline itself, you can't add to it or delete things from it. Including you can't add a grading layer above the timeline tracks in Sg, as you would in "native" mode. So ... if you need one and didn't think about it whilst in PrPro, you just save & return to PrPro, add a "new item->adjustment layer" over as many clips as needed, or as many as you want ... then go back to Sg & use those for grading layers. That sort of thing.
It's pretty darn slick in all.

External Video will only show black or current frame

Hello,
I am on an Intel Mac using FCP 5.1.2. This is my first time trying to view an external monitor using FCP, but I have done it in the past with Media 100 and Premiere.
Right now, when I try to view the Timeline or Canvas, all I am getting is the black screen not what is currently on the timeline. If I go to View > External Video > Show Current, I will get the current image, but it just stays on that, no matter what is showing on the timeline or Canvas. If I double click a clip so it opens in the Viewer, it shows that clip and stays on that as a freeze frame. I can hear the audio through my external speakers just fine.
So far I have done many searches on "external video" on this forum and looked up in all my manuals and Apple Training books, but no luck. Here's the list of all the things I tried.
My setup: MacPro > Sony TCRDV8 NTSC camcorder via firewire > camcorder to TV via audio/video cables. My external speakers are hooked up to the camcorder.
I have tried restarting FCP as well as rebooting my MacPro after connnecting everything, removed the tape from the camcorder, made sure it was on VTR.
I have also checked all the suggested Audio/Video Settings, all the things under View, like External Video, Video Playback and refresh A/V devices.
It seems odd that I can hear the video and see the current frame or other freeze frames, but it's not showing the motion on the timeline. Everything is rendered. Is my video camera too old for FCP?
I probably should not spend any more time on this but it's making crazy, I keep thinking that if I try just one more thing I will figure it out.
Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance.
MacPro 2.66 8 GB RAM Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 Mac OS X (10.4.8) A very old Sony TCRDV8 NTSC camcorder

Thanks for your answer. The window hanging off is a good suggestion, but still didn't work... I also tried switching my windows to the standard setting and still nothing. I've tried the window size thing before but I tried again and no luck.
In the meantime, I checked to see if Apple System Profiler sees my DV cam and it does, and even has the correct name and model number.
I wonder if it has something to do with the viewer window, it's always stuck on the same thing? Right now it's one of my movie clips. I've tried dragging the sequence to the viewer but it doesn't help. I am missing some tiny little detail?

I only see bottom half of video

I only see bottom half of video for everything I import.

What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer system is it running.
Based on recent posts here, you probably are working with wmv video.
If so, please read the Announcement at the top of this forum which targets the 1/2 wmv display related to a recent Windows Update kb.
Besides the Announcement at the top of this forum, there are many, many threads here on the topic.
Please let us know if you found the Announcement and deleted the Windows Update causing the problem.
Thanks.

Safari cover flow only displays bottom half of window

Help! The cover flow in safari only displays bottom half of the window, see the picture below,
However, those pages that can not be previewed show in full height of the window:
Any solution would be highly appreciated!!!

Ok..
Maybe an extension or plugin issues...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that OFF, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If it's not an extensions issue, back to the menu bar click Safari > Preferences > Security.
Deselect: Enable plug ins. Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, then you have one or more Safari add ons causing this.
Follow the instructions for troubleshooting plugins here > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
If it's not a plugin issue, go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, move the .pilst file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.

My new 4s is only showing 47 photos in photostream my other iPhone 4 had 700 and backed p to iCloud . Help

My new 4s is only showing the last 47 of 700 photos which are in photo stream .they are on iCloud. Why ?

Photo Stream only holds the last 30 days worth of photos (up to a maximum of 1000 photos). After 30 days, they begin to roll off. Once downloaded to the phone or another device, they will remain on the device, even after they roll off unless the device is restored, updated, etc.
Photos should be offloaded from the camera roll to your computer on a regular basis. Photo Stream is not meant as permanent or long term storage.

Try to hook up your nano to your computer and choose the dialog box to update your software. The current version is 1.2 which allows distance to be calculated once you input your height (and weight).

You won't see anything obviously related to iCloud, Jimmy. But if you go to the home iTunes Store page while logged into your iTunes Store account, you should see a Purchases link now under the Quick Links header. That's the only part of iCloud active at this time.

Clips only show audio in PE9, but run fine in Organizer

In PE 9 the preview of my clips only show the wave of the audio.
I have reinstalled PE9 but it makes no difference. Startup is incredibly slow, it easily takes 10 minutes for a project to open..
I have tried to delete the prefs file at appdata\roaming\adobe\prem elements\9.0\Premiere elements prefs but it makes no difference (is this the right file? it has no extension).
On the net there is a tip to click ctrl-alt-shift and then click to start up PE, whioch then supposedly gives you an option to delete the prefs, but I dont think anything happens.
Extra strange is that it all used to work all right, suddenly the clips were audio only. I cannot pipoint a change on my system that could the the cause.It happened after I worked a lot in Organizer.
BTW My program is on C, the data are on D.
Does Organizer treat clips differently then PE itself?
Thanks

Problems With News Video Clips?????????

In the past I have been able to watch news video clips on Fox and CNN. For some reason I can not determine, I can no longer do it.
When I click on the video clip news story, the player pops up but the video does not load and play. I can not think of anything I have changed on my puter that would cause this.
I use a G4, OSX 10.3.9, and my internet is with Direcway.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks, John

Well, it seems as thought the QuickTime Player is working on CNN News Videos, but I still can not get the Free Video player to work on Fox News.
All suggestions would be welcome. Thanks
John

How can I keep my audio track, delete a short segment of video, and reinsert a new video clip, without changing the audio with the way it lines up with the original video?

How can I keep my audio track, delete a short segment of video, and reinsert a new video clip, without changing the audio with the way it lines up with the original video?

If you have either iMovie 09 or iMovie 11 you can do this easily using the Cutaway feature.
Go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that the Advanced Tools are enabled.
Now you jut drag and drop the 2nd clip onto hte first clip at the frame where you want the Cutaway to start. A popup menu will appear. Choose Cutaway.
Here is a good Tutorial.
If you have iMovie 08, let me know. There is a way to do it, but it is more complex.

1 of the clips in my movie is cropped weird & you can only see bottom half.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?
I am putting a reel together with different footage and when I use the playback in Imovie 08 it is fine. However when I export it and I play it back, the one clip is only half in frame if that makes sense...
Can't figure this out. Any info would be appreciated!

Ok, so I fixed my problem, and this might help, if you haven't gotten it fixed already. I had the problem while making one of a series of movies with three sections: Titles, movie, then credits, as usual. My titles and credits were imported m4ps, complete in and of themselves, but the movie was built between them. When I tried to publish the movie, the aspect ratio did not calculate the middle to match the titles or the credits. However, if I exported the movie as an m4p, and then imported it, they all published correctly. Titles, movie, and credits all appeared in 16:9 ratio.

Help! When I import video it only shows up as audio

Every time I try importing video or even try previewing it, it will only playback and show up as audio. I have tried both Quicktime and AVI video formats and nothing seems to work. I have been able to import an audio only file with no problem, but I really need the video clips and I don't understand why they won't work. I tested them on my computer and they work with other programs. Is there a setting on Adobe Premiere Pro that I neeed to change, or am I just doing something wrong?

Hi ya Jacob,
For honor sake let me say that I hope you aren't downloading files to more or less steal them. I, for instance, have a sort of religious/philosophy channel at YT and I'll sometimes use short excerpts from movie clips for teaching purposes. I don't know if it's technically legal to do so, but no one seems to object to my using 30-seconds or so from a clip in this way.
I'm sure there are people here who can tell you some easy way to do this with a program you have to pay for, but having grown up watching too much Jack Benny has made me a such a tightwad that I will always do things the cheap way even if it means jumping through a number of hoops. So let me tell you my process of hoop jumping before someone else tells you the easy store bought method (otherwise known as the "right way").
There are a number of ways to get something off YouTube as you've no doubt learned by now. However, most of those ways will only download the low quality version of the file. YT also keeps high quality versions of many of those files (depending on what codec was used in uploading them to begin with) on a separate server. Sometimes a YT video will have an "HQ" button you can toggle to see the file. Sometimes they don't see it, but there is an HQ file somewhere anyway a lot of the time. To see that file place the following after the url:
&fmt=18
Here's an example. If you go to the following url it will take you to the regular low quality version of this particular YT video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVAZGNAxUNw
Now you'll notice that there is indeed an HQ button you can push on this video to watch the high quality version, but let's pretend it isn't there and instead we'll use that little shortcut on the end of the url that I showed above so that the url now looks like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVAZGNAxUNw&fmt=18
No matter what download tool you use to get the video from YT, try to remember to use that shortcut ending piece for the url so the app will know without a doubt that you want the HQ version if one exists because sometimes these apps aren't able to find the HQ version without some help.
I recommend downloading the free version of
Any Video Converter. It will both download the YT video (the high quality version will be an mp4 file) and then it will convert it to something more usable of your choice.
Another good download tool is called
Orbit. It can download videos from other sites besides YT, but it always downloads the flv.
Any Video Converter, unfortunately, won't let you change the file to an uncompressed AVI, nor to a DV-AVI. The highest quality it has available to convert the file to is NTSC mpg2 DVD standard, or you can choose to use the HD setting for a wmv file, but it takes a long time to do the latter, and considering the low quality of YT videos to begin with, seems kind of senseless to me.
I then bring my new mpg2 file into the mpg version of
VirtualDub and change it to an uncompressed AVI. And then I can easily bring that AVI into Premiere and either work with it natively or change it to a DV file (which I usually do before editing).
There's a DV codec you can download that will allow VDub to convert the mpg2 directly to DV-AVI, but I don't trust it as I've noticed a lot of posts by people saying that it makes some of their other programs unstable.

How can I make Zotero fill the screen instead of only the bottom half?

I installed Zotero program but it occupies only the bottom part of my screen. How do I enlarge it and remove the Firefox part in the upper half?

Does your email site have a print button to format the page for printing? That often gives the best results.
If this just started with Firefox 4, it could be related to a change in how strict Firefox is about a page's HTML code. To see whether this problem is caused by the new HTML5 parser, you can turn it off like this:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''html5''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''html5.parser.enable''' to toggle it to false (it should turn bold).
Then return to your mail site, reload the page, and test again. (Print Preview might be sufficient for testing.)
Does that make any difference? If so, the site might not yet be fully compatible with Firefox 4 -- or you have found a bug in Firefox.
