Putting a "picture frame" around an entire video

Hey there! thanks in advance for the help.
I'm attempting to put a "picture-frame" around a video that will be visible throughout the duration of the movie. Is there any way to do this in FinalCut Pro?
Thanks!

There are some great Frames in the Motion Content. Open Motion using same settings as your FCP project and find the one you like in the Motion Library and drag it to your new Motion project.
Size it to your tastes.
Then open Layers (cmd-4) twirl the disclosure triangle and delete the drop zone.
Now export it. When you bring it into FCP you will have a frame you can place over any video and the video will show inside the frame.
Good luck

How do I Add a Picture Frame Around a Flash Video?

I tried searching for this but "frame" has too many meanings. I have flv videos inserted in several web pages, but they look dull without some sort of fancy border or frame around them. Maybe a picture frame. Maybe the image of a flat screen TV surrounding the image. But how do I add the image "behind" the video so that the video sits perfectly inside the image, regardless of the monitor viewing the image.

Do a google search for the IE PNG Fix javascript. Some work better than others. The one you had didn't work at all for PNG backgrounds in pre-IE7.
Copy and Paste the following document into a new blank page and see how it looks in all the major browsers. I changed your document type to XHTML transitional and replaced deprecated <div align> tags with inline CSS styles. I also ran your Flash code through http://validifyer.com to make it XHTML compliant.

I had completed my iDVD project and burned a disc. It worked great! Then someone messed with the project and put a red frame around the opening screen. Now when I burn the project, it no longer has the opening frame. How can I fix?

I had completed my iDVD project, a Wedding Slideshow with pictures and music, and burned it on a disc. It worked great! Then someone messed with the original project on my computer and clicked around and put a red frame around the opening screen that has the Wedding theme with music. Now when I burn the project to make more DVDs, it burns but no longer has the opening frame. It immediately opens to the iMovie slideshow. How can I fix so I can burn the entire project with opening frames?

As Bengt suggested make a disk image of the successfully burned DVD using Disk Utility. Then you can burn copies any time you need one.
In the future once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
You can then burn it to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

'Picture frame' around open window

After I updated to OS10.4.10 via a download, many applications (including Office) would not open. I reloaded the original disks for my MacBook (OS10.4.6) (not a clean reload) and the applications now work. However, the frontmost (open) window now has a bizarre antique-style picture frame as a border around it that I do not know how to delete!

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I've never seen an antique picture frame around a window.
Check in System Preferences >> Universal Access >> Seeing
Also read this Apple support topic.About "Downgrade" installations
"You should not reinstall an earlier version of the same software over a later version. These "downgrade" installs may seem to work, but Apple does not test nor recommend downgrade installations in most cases. Some installers prevent downgrade installations. If you need to reinstall an earlier version of Mac OS X, erase your disk first or choose the erase option in the Mac OS X Installer. Be sure to reinstall any software updates after reinstalling the operating system."

Black "picture frame" around window

A strange black "picture frame" shows up around windows which are active. Doesn't show up on Entourage. Appears like a non-damaging virus, but I don't know what it could be. Any ideas how to get rid of it?

Hello teddyloop,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
It looks like VoiceOver was activated. Head to *System Preferences -> Universal Access* and click on the Seeing tab and there is where you should be able to turn it off.

Extra a Picture frame from an iPhone Video

I have several videos where I would like to extract a picture frame from each video and to place into a Digital Photo Frame. I am not sure if I am making my request to the correct discussion Group, but I needed to begin somewhere. I am using a G5 iMac desktop with OSX 10.4.11. I am wondering if this can be done and can anyone explain how this can be accomplished?

use iMovie or Quick Time Pro - or other video editor is you have one - that is not a feature of iPhoto

How can I put a photo frame around my photo using PSE 9?

I can't find a way to do this. V8 seemed to have it.

If you don't find a frame to suit, you can make your own:
Open picture file in full edit and enhance as usual, and merge layers.
Go to Select>all
Open a blank layer at the top
Go to Edit>stroke outline selection, make stroke wide (25-35px), position inside, color does not matter
Open the effects palette, go to Layer style>Patterns>Wood>apply
In effects palette go to Bevels>scalloped edge bevel, or simple inner>apply
Double click the "f" in the layer with the stroke to bring up the style settings dialog, adjust as necessary

Every time i upload music to my video its goes around my entire video how to i separate them ?

There is no option to split track when i right click

I did the same when I started. you just need to be careful when you drag the music track to your video. If it goes purple it will cover the whole video - just hold the pointer under the movie/photo you wish to start the track on. If it goes whole purple move the pointer to another spot. keep practicing. It becomes obvious. honest!

HT4061 my iphone5 went beserk ..The voice wont shut up, the scroll function wont work, when I push an icon it tells me what the icon is. In order to minimally use it I have to push the button a gazillion times, or Not. It puts a dotted frame around any

I think I pushed assistance touch and now the phone tells me what each button does but I cant get it to do anything without pounding my finger on an icon or letter innumerable times, it wont scroll back and forth and won't quit talking... help

That's the Voice Over Feature.
Tap the Settings icon once to select it and then Double Tap on the Settings icon to activate it.
Use 3 fingers to scroll down to General, tap it once again to select it, and then twice to activate it.
Again use 3 fingers to scroll down to Accessibility, again tap once to select, then twice to activate.
Tap on Voice Over once to select it, and twice to actvate it and then tap once on Voice Over, and then tap twice to turn it off.

Simple frame around pictures

Hi, I'm trying to simply place a thin border around either a block of text or photo so they stand out as boxed on a white background. Can anyone help.
Thanks

Thanks Barbara, what about putting the frame around the entire canvas.
Here is one way to create a frame outside the picture.
1. Create new layer beneath the picture layer. Note that if the picture layer is named "Background" (the default name) then you must first rename it to anything else.
2. Image > Resize > Canvas Size, and increase Width & Height by same amount (but not percent), twice your desired border size.
3. Fill new layer with the frame color.
Or you can simply:
1. Set the Background color chip at the bottom of the toolbar to your frame color.
2. Image > Resize > Canvas Size, and increase Width & Height by same amount (not percent), twice your desired border size.

How to create a fancy picture frame border around an image

Hi there,
Does anybody know how to create a fancy picture frame around
an image that's inside an AP DIV? I want the image to look like
it's a picture hanging on the wall. Any of your guru's know how to
do that - eh then?
Thanks a mill for any help!

Find or use your graphics program to create an image of a
frame you like.
Size it so its inside measurements match your picture.
Option 1 - Paste your picture image on the frame image and
insert in your container.
Option 2 - Place your frame image as a non-repeating
background for your container and then insert your picture.

Black bars around my youtube video - 16:9 issue?

final cut 10.0.5
Rookie here, I have created a FCut video using video shot on my Canon Gl-2, and exported it to put it on youtube.
I simply use the Export Media window and choose default setting to go to quicktime.
Problem is that the youtube video has the black bars around the entire video.
How can I export this thing to youtube and get my face full screen?
I know it has something to do with the format 4:3, 16:9, etc. But can't find any settings for this and the Help menu *****.
Here is the youtube video with black bars:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVvMfL-olKM
THANKS, Pros!

The GL-2 shot 4:3. YT displays everything within a 16:9 frame. If you had shot one of the 16:9 resolutions, it would have filled the frame.
If you want to have FCP automatically fill the frame, in the Inspector>Video, choose Fill for Spatial Conform. The image will be zoomed. After you do that, check the framing to see whether it's acceptable.
Many (maybe most) people disagree with this, but I personally prefer the bars because it maintains the integrity of the original framing,
BTW, why are you on 10.0.5? Many serious improvements since.

Picture frame gets moved/resized during preview with iPad

Hi Guys:
This happens to a certain type of layout:
Add a gallery widget to a page
add only one image to the gallery widget
Draw a rectangle shape in the page
Select the rectangle, open the inspector, and add a picture frame decoration to the rectangle.
Make the rectangle "Not filled" with any color, therefore we get a picture frame
Put the picture frame on top of the gallery widget
The gallery widget looks like an ordinary photo, decorated with a picture frame
The problem:
The aforementioned layout looks good in iBookAuthor, but when preivewing the book in iPad, the picture frame gets moved (or resizied), therefore it doesn't match the gallery widget.
after the preview, widgets in the iBookAuthor remains good.
My question:
I think it is a bug of either the preview process, or the widgets. if this is the case. I'd deprecate this layout in my book and won't use it anymore.
Further thoughts:
I noticed that some type of picture frames are not in high resolution, when previewing the book in iPad, tap to maximize an interactive image with picture frame decorated, it is kind of obverious that the picture frame doesn't have high resolution.
Any suggestion will be appreciated, thank you.
Xing Yun

What happens if you export an .ibooks file, then move it to iTunes and sync to your iPad (delete all previews of that same book first)...?
Previews are just simplified PDFs and shouldn't be trusted to layout and work the same as a final book.
