Re: Big Black censor on video

Ok,
My After Effects is placing this big black rectangular censor over half my video clip. When I render it out its the same. I haven't done any editing yet on it, I just imported my file into the program. I've done it by drag and drop, manual file and select, double clicking workspace etc. It won't even let me import other files of the same format.
It was fine a few days ago when I was working on another clip but now its giving me this weird problem. I attached a pic down below...I don't know what is going on tbh. I have also tried restarting my computer and the versionI'm using is 7.0 :c a bit old I know, but I like it and it works :c until now...

Today I receive my MOBO back I was really happy i connect all and i get in SHock nothing the same issue no Video output Monitor stays black just like was before the debug panel is off nothing running
i check and the serial nr of the MOBO is different what mean its total new Mobo and probably coz i cant get it running its same old BIOS i spend 40£ probably to swap new Motherboard for New Motherboard but not to fix the issue and the issue was simple i need version of bios 2.3 or higher to make it work with my CPU I7-4820K
now I don't know what to do the shop where I buy the Mobo dont want to help me and when i ask for my money back they seid its after the 30 days period and i cant get refund i just wasted 284£ all in for nothing a big black garbage what taking only space in my room now with MSI LOGO ON IT
In MSI eyes People don't buy new rigs they just upgrade stuff
it should be like that
I was should have old PC with I7-3930K and then i decide to buy new processor that how MSI Think (Why to buy 3820k or 3930k when u can get 4820 or 4930k for allmost the same price ? )
but my mistake was i buy new processor and new Motherboard and cant get it run because in that NEW MOBO is 1.2 Ver of BIOS and without having old CPU u cant update :(

IMovie is outputting my movie with big black bars at top and bottom that I don't want

Quicktime: Ver 10.3
iMovie: Ver 10.0.5
OS: OS X Ver 10.9.4
So, let me try and explain...
I have recorded gameplay footage of my game directly from my Mac screen using Quicktime's Record Screen option. I've tried recording both in fullscreen mode (with my game also running in fullscreen mode) and a section of the screen by dragging the mouse to select a 640X960 box (with my game running in windowed mode which is displayed at 640x960 resolution).
This initial recording direct from the screen displays fine, both when I view it in windowed mode and when I view it fullscreen, with the height of the game stretching to the full height of the video area but obviously with big black borders to either side in fullscreen mode (as it's basically iPhone ratio in portrait mode).
WindowedFullscreen
This ^^^ is how they should look.
The problem is when I try to import the movie into iMovie, mess around with some fade-ins and music and stuff and then output the edited movie via iMovie...
When I then try to view this outputted movie in windowed mode on certain sites (Kickstarter) my game footage doesn't take up the full height of the video and instead floats in the middle with big black bars at the top and bottom, which I don't want. It's fine when I go fullscreen but the problem is that when I load this video into Kickstarter it shows the non-fullscreen view of the video with this big black border and it looks really amateur.
This is what Kickstarter shows in windowed mode i.e. the way you see Kickstarter videos by default when you press Play; unless I go fullscreen and then it takes up the full heigh of the view.
Note: Windowed mode actually looks fine when viewed directly on my Mac but I know it's not Kickstarter that is causing the issue because I can see in the thumbnail preview on my Mac that the video is somehow encoded with the big black bars at the top and bottom. Also, I uploaded the unedited videos to Kickstarter just to check and they display fine. So it's definitely iMovie that is adding these annoying black borders at the top and bottom for whatever reason (and I'm not intentionally scaling the video down in iMove or anything like that as far as I know). I also can't use the unedited footage however because it has no sound and no transitions etc.
Does anyone know what night be causing this and how to get rid of it.

You are lucky to see anything - iMovie 5 is not really compatible with Snow Leopard, which only supports iMovie 6 and above.
Snow Leopard only runs on Intel Macs. iMovie 5 was never written, AFAIK, for Intel, just for the PPC Macs they had in those old days!

Colour circles within a black and white video (after effects)

Can anyone help me?

Big black marks after rendering DNxHD Codec after using some effects, using Eos Mark III footage on FCP7

Dear All,
I hope you can help me. Working on an IMac with FCP 7. It's the first time that I am using footage shot with Canon EOS Mark III. I did not expect this to be such a problem as it was almost impossible to edit with the footage, as I kept on getting the beach ball and then it would crash. Finally fixed the problem by downloading the DnxHD Codec and was able to do a rough edit on a compressed timeline to make the job faster and show a rough cut to the client.
Now I am trying to cut an HD version, where I'm using the same footage with matched timeline settings and when I don't do anything and render it, it looks fine. The minute I use an effect (e.g colour correction or a simple crop) and render, I literally get big black blotches or marks all over the image. Any advise on where I should look to fix the problem?
Many thanks!
Amanda

Convert the footage to ProRes LT before editing.
Your camera shoots H.264 and Final Cut Pro does not like that one bit.
You can use FCP's Log & Transfer function to do this (you might need to install a Canon Plug-in first) or you can do the conversion in Compressor.

I somehow changed a video in my imovie to zero fps, so it just plays black. The video still exists on my desktop but even when I delete the files from imovie and reimport them the file is still in zero fps and play black.

I'm not sure of your question.
Are you asking how to use Photoshop?
Or are you asking for the dimensions of video iMovie uses?
It edits in 720P HD, which is 1280x720.
You can make it a bit bigger so you can zoom in.
Much bigger then this is a waste of time.

How to add a black censor bar to a face that moves with the face?

Please tell me how to do that
I have final cut pro x

Does it have to be a black censor bar? if not look at the Censor effect.
If it has to be a black bar. Make the bar using a Custom generator in Solids. Crop it to whatever size you want using the Crop function in the Viewer. Use the Transform function in the Viewer to position. You can keframe the crop and transform functions to animate the bar as needed.

ITunes 7.0.2 upgrade left me with big black screen in the Movies folder?!?!

Hi - new iMac, all exciting, and the upgrade let me upgrade this Mac's iTunes as well. Sadly... the Movies folder is just a huge black screen, and won't let me drag any new Movies into it.
The huh?
If anyone can help... I'm beyond grateful. I need some movies in here!!
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Well, I am an idiot, it turns out, but I will post this in case anyone else ever sees this and thinks they have this problem.
Knowing that they played in Quicktime, I used Handbrake Lite
http://www.isquint.org/handbrakelite/
(genius!)
to rip another little one, and when that was done, out of boredom, tried again to drag it in. For some reason, this time it worked. Did the same thing, same file, no idea why this time it was okay.
Of course, then I realized that I was seeing a big black square because I was in icon view (the middle of the three options). I dragged in every other movie, and they are all fine.
Thank you, thank you, though, Apple for having this forum, and Converted2Mac for your fantastic (and REALLY QUICK!) responses. This is why Macs are the best!!!

Slideshow settings made impossible by a big black rectangle covering the upper-left half of the screen/photo,

Slideshow settings made impossible by big black rectangle covering the upper-left half of the screen/photo, appearing when I move the cursor. Disappears when I start the slideshow. Restart does not help.

Thanks,
- First: Linc Davis' question seems to be relevant: Indeed, when I disconnect my second display, the problem disappears. However, reconnecting the display makes the problem reappear again.
- I use iPhoto 9.5.1. and Mac OS 9.5.2. The machine is a MacPro first part of 2008 (not a MacBook Pro as I inadvertantly said in my original question). Processor 2X2,8 GHz Quad-core intel Xeon. Memory 6 GB, with new (2yrs old) 2 TB SATA-disk (WDC WD2002FYPS-02w380 Media) as hard disk.
- Here is a screenshot of what I am seeing - with only part of the settings display (in Norwegian) visible.
- I have looked for a solution in the iPhoto settings, turned the program off& on, and restarted the computer, all without success.
- The library is, as I understand it, located in users/[me]/pictures/iPhoto Library.
- No, as I remember I did not apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem. I have regularly updated the programs, as they come, without checking the results on each program.
- I run a managed library
- Apparently there is 1,29 TB free space (out of 2 TB) on my boot drive [=central hard drive, see above?].

Why when I want to take photo , the camera will appear such pink colour vertical line and become black and the video just can record 1 min only ?

why when I want to take photo , the camera will appear such pink colour vertical line and become black and the video just can record 1 min only ? why ? is that any problem ?

are you using the iOS camera? if you do, visit your apple store for further help, sounds like a hardware problem.
or:
hold home and lock button pressed until your iphone restarts.
if that didn't help, visit your apple store.
if you are not using the iOS camera, delete that app.

Why is my black and white video showing purple/green color cast from ProRes 422 h264?

When transcoding from ProRes 422 to h264 in Adobe Media Encoder, I'm seeing both green and purple color cast on my black and white video. ProRes on top, h264 on bottom.

What do you make of the fact that the same video, encoded in MPEG Streamclip does not have the issue on the same hardware, played in Quicktime Player?
A valid data point for consideration, but the only way to know with certainty is to get the image onto a calibrated TV.
Observation will always trump deduction. So...observe! (Just be sure to do it accurately with a calibrated TV.)
The Vimeo preset is creating H.264 MP4 files. AVCHD is a very specific subset of the H.264 codec, and cannot be generated by PP.

How to add black censor bars to image?

I need to use an effect where black censor bars cover up a part of my picture. How do I do this? Thanks.

If you are using FCP (mmmh what software are you using? I noticed that you are on W. XP) use BORIS vector shape filter from filters tab.
Alternatevely create a simple black rectangle in Photoshop, export it to FCP ( use composite mode to get rid of background if you get one) and rotate and resize it in FCP using motion tab tools
