Resizing cut-off video

In a recent dvd i created in dvd studio 3, an unacceptable amount of the video gets cut off on most TV's. i know you can view the "action safe" area when creating a menu, but is there an easy way to resize video to fit within this area? is this possible in dvd studio, or is video editing software required?

Hi David
Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately it can't be done in DVDSP, you'll have to adjust your original footage in FCP then re-encode and re-import. Action & Title safe areas are pretty standard between most applications. If you're using FCP select the viewer to show Action and Title safe - this will give you a better idea of what's on screen before you get to your final DVD.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 Cutting off video in export?

    Ok when I view my sequence in the output monitor I enjoy how it looks. I export and unfortunately, parts of my video are cut off. I see that there are the safe video guides but is there a way to export the whole view. Because that means I would have to resize all of my clips that I imported. P.S. Output is set to 720 X 480 and imported clips are the same. But they still get cut off

    Sure I'm hoping that there is a swith or drop down somewhere. I didn't know how hard it would be to export beyond the safe guard bounds lol

  • Adobe Media Encoder cuts off video layer when the Ultra Key effect is applied

    I am working on a Mac (10.8.5) using the latest verison of Premiere Pro CC. I am using Ultra Key to remove the chroma key background from the "talent layer" and adding a "new background layer" behind the talent video layer. When I export directly from Premiere, the sequence exports as expected. However, I have many sequences, and wish to speed up the  process using Adobe Media Encoder. When I export the same sequence using Adobe Media Encoder, the top half of the "talent layer" is completly cut off:
    The issue has something to do with the Ultra key effect because when I remove the effect from the "talent layer" it exports in tact (with a chroma key background of course). Adobe Media Encoder CC is up to date as well; are there any known bugs with Media Encoder CC and the Ultra Key effect in Premiere Pro?
    Thanks!

  • Do the edges of a video get cut-off when added to an iMovie project?

    When I view a video clip from the events library it fits in the viewer screen perfectly, i.e., the entire image appears on the screen.  After adding the video clip to my project, when I play the video from the project, the edges appear to have been cut-off, i.e., my giraffe has no head.  Do I need to resize the original video file? How?

    Thanks for the idea.  I found a solution to my problem in another discussion between KimsAZmac and AppleMan1958.  If you use stabilization the image is made larger so it doesn't fit in the viewer.  The solution is to turn off stabilization or use the slider on clip adjustments so the image fits the screen.
    Problem solved.

  • Top of video cut off

    I have just loaded iMovie for iPhone 4 & have built a few projects. ALL of the video is resized to smaller & by doing so, the video is cut off at the top. Any ideas??? (the original clips are full size, nothing cut off)

    Are you editing "tall" videos into a "wide" project?
    And are you looking at the final video or a preview, rather then the small edit window?

  • Please help i started my project video format 720HD resolution 12x720 rate 25p at last when i finish and burn to dvd the edges are cut off any one help please i am really in trouble

    please help i started my project with  video format 720HD, resolution 12x720, rate 25p.  at last when i finish and burn to dvd the edges are cut off and my logo cut off the screeen aswell any one help please i am really in trouble. thanks

    Sorry, but I don't know anything about that app.
    I did go to their Web site and I see they have a support link. Perhaps you can get help there or in their forum.
    If you are OK with a DVD with a basic menu, you could try the Share>DVD option in FCP.
    Good luck.

  • Why does Preview automatically resize the text box to cut off the last character of added text? How do I fix it?

    Why does Preview automatically resize the text box to cut off the last character of added text? How do I fix it?
    I use the Tools > Annotate > Add Text feature, and when I click away after adding text, it automatically changes the text box size such that the last letter -- or last word -- gets bumped off into an invisible line below it, forcing me to manually adjust every single text box. It is highly annoying when trying to complete PDF forms (e.g. job applications).
    It appears to be a glitch, quite honestly, an error resulting from Apple's product design. Has it been fixed in the new operating system (for which they want $30)?
    I would very much appreciate any help you can provide! Thank you for your time.

  • DVD video gets cut off, but preview shows dvd as good

    Having a problem getting my video to output from dvd burning without getting cut off.
    Computer is Win xp pro, 3gb ram, 2.33ghz cpu, 40gb free hd space
    Using Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0.2.
    I have video which I've recorded from my Sanyo xacti 720p avc camera, which records in mpeg4 format. I've converted the video(s) to mpeg 1,2 for dvd using my "Need4 Video Converter 5.9". At first I tried putting several mpeg1's into my premeire project, then I also merged all the video files into one, but still had the same problem.
    I put the video(s) into my premiere project, added some titles on the other video track. Also added some music on another audio track. So, the total size of the videos is about 3.5gb. I preview my project it looks great, I added some dvd scenes and used a nice template with scene selection and captions..the works. Now I try to burn it several ways, to a dvd, to a file folder on high or low settings, but everytime I only end up with about 1.5gb of data, and 25 mins of video, so it is cut off. My original video is an hour and 50 mins.
    The encoding takes about 3 hrs after I hit burn. No errors or anything.
    So, I cannot understand what I need to do. I don't want to convert to a smaller or lower format, bcz I dont' want to lose quality. I'm at a loss bcz I've tried so many different formats and combinations, let this stuff run for so many hours this past weekend, and still can't get it to work. Is there some kind of setting I'm missing? Something in premiere?
    I've read some best practices on the forum, and I understand to use bit rate of 7mbs or less, and to burn on slow speed. Is it at all bcz I'm burning it to my hard drive? but i don't think this is my issue. is it the old software? it came with my Sanyo camera, so I would think its good enough.
    Please help if you can. I was thinking my next shot might be to convert it down to a much smaller size, and maybe it will fit(but quality may be an issue). Thanks in advance. -Ron

    Ron,
    Yes, PE is a scaled down version of P-Pro, but also has some additional features, plus an easier way of doing many things, that its "big brother" does not. As to the ability to Export/Share frame sizes, I think that most are included in PE (would have to open each and explore precisely to tell you if it's all there). I do not think that this is your issue.
    As to the conversion, I'd step back to your original footage, Sanyo MP4, right? Unless Sanyo is using a proprietary CODEC to create the MP4's, you *should* be able to Open these files in QuickTime and play them. If you have QuickTime Pro (costs about US$30 to upgrade to "Pro), you *should* be able to Export and choose DV-AVI as your Export setting. Note: the term ".AVI" can mean so very many things. What you want is DV-AVI. This is the "native" format for PE - what it converts all other file formats to, to edit. The quality loss going with this format can be measured in a lab, but is almost totally impossible to see on any TV with the human eye. Doing this will likely enhance your entire editing experience.
    As for quality and conversions and compression, your camera has already done one conversion, when it wrote to MP4. You cannot get around that. Conversion to DV-AVI will be "virtually" lossless, though the file size WILL increase. The reason is that with MP4, not all "frames" exist with full content - part of its compression. With DV-AVI each "frame" will exist with full content. Be prepared for LARGE files, but files with all of the info.
    Then, when you Burn to DVD, you WILL recompress your data to MPEG-2 format, the DVD standard. You will loose some quality there, but it cannot be avoided. It is how DVD's hold their Audio & Video data.
    I still do not have any ideas that would directly affect your movie not burning completely. If the Duration of your movie has exceeded the capacity of a DVD-5, you would/should get an error message to that effect. You do not.
    One thing to go back and look for in your original Project's Timeline would be "gaps" in the Video. These can cause problems (or sometimes not). I zoom my Timeline way up, and use the PageUp & PageDn keys to "step" through the various Clips. The CTI (Current Time Indicator - that little doobie that marks where you are on the Timeline) should move in a linear fashion from Clip to Clip. If you see it pause, or hiccup, then zoom WAY in to the max and study the Timeline there. Are all Clips butted up to each other? Now, you can have Clips on Video Tracks above #1, that would allow you to have "gaps" in the Video on VT 1. That is OK, but if you have any spots on the Timeline, where there is NO Video, you'll likely want to fix these. You can close up the gaps by moving the Clips, so that they do butt up, or if you want "black" there, just go to the New icon and choose Black Video. Size it to fit the gap, and you will be fine. You can also extend the Clip before the gap, or after the gap, if that does not mess up your editing. Several choices and each should be based on what you want to have happen. If you find a bunch of gaps (even one can be deadly) try to Export/Burn again. Note: I've seen one 1-frame gap cause problems, but just had to re-edit a Project where I fixed 900+ gaps, and that Project had already Burned 4 DVD's. Go figure.
    Last thing to look at would be to hit the "\" key in Timeline mode. This will zoom out to show the full Timeline. Do you have anything stuck out by itself, past where you thought the end was? This should yield other problems, but not the one you are experiencing. Still, who knows? It's also a good thing to do, when you believe you are done, just to check that something didn't get "orphaned" out beyond where one normally looks on the Timeline.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    [Edit] 01:50 is longish for a DVD-5. You will not be able to set a very high bit-rate (Quality slider), but you should still get the full Timeline, or an error message.

  • Video capture screen cut off at the top

    I am waiting for my new elements 9 to show up on the licensing page, and perhaps this will solve the problem I am having in version 3 (I know, but like I said I am upgrading!) but I would like to import some video from tape and I have a problem I have never seen before.  When I open the video capture page all is well except the top menu portion is cut off which presents a huge problem since the button to go back to the main page when import is complete is not there.  The only way out is good old alt-cntl-del to close the whole program.  Does anybody know how to fit the screen so everything shows?  All my other applications fit perfectly.  Its been getting bigger and bigger for the last week but until now I had the very bottom of the icon to click on.  Cant wait for 9, not sure why it takes so much time to make it available for download and licensing...

    Quicktime regularly updates so I assume I have the latest.  I do have  3.02 and I just called up the program to get the version I am running  and I see the problem has gone away.  I now see the whole screen and am  able to grab the edges and adjust the size,  go figure...  I am still  waiting for my version 9, I expect this problem will not show up again  once I update.  Thanks for the help!

    There shouldn´t been a problem with a widescreen notebook, playing Youtube.
    Check you browser (test it in different one), if the problem exist update your flashplayer.
    It is also helpfull, if you tell us your exact type of machine and used OS.

  • 16:9 video sides cut off when exported from After Effects

    When I export a 16:9 video from After Effects, the sides are cut off in the exported clip.  I've tried different export settings and and my composition settings are correct, from what I can tell. Does anyone know why this could be happening?
    Thanks!

    and my composition settings are correct, from what I can tell.
    But are they really? We cannot know, because you don't say anything about your exact render settings and comp settings, which is what is required here. You could be using an unsuitable CoDec or even crop your output inadvertently by using a specific output module setting....

  • When uploading videos to iWeb, the video screen gets cut off at the top. It only happens in Firefox, but not in Safari.

    When uploading videos to iWeb, the video screen gets cut off at the top. It only happens in Firefox, but not in Safari. Has anybody else had this problem?

    I'm using pure HTML5 for mobile websites although you need to provide an OGG file for Firefox. See the movie page on this site...
    http://mobile.ezmacwebdesign.com/
    If you don't have an iPhone, grab the browser handle and drag it to the left to reduce the width to see how it responds to mobile devices' fixed width browsers .
    This will play in all modern browsers and on mobile devices. You can use QuickTime Pro for the OGG or OGV conversion or get the freeware Miro Video Converter...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Easy-Movie-Player.html
    If you only want to upload an MP4, you can use a flash fallback player and this will cover Firefox and those geriatrics that still use older versions of Internet Explorer....

    If you use any of the four fallback players above, take advantage of the fact that you can add a poster image and stop the video file from preloading. This makes for a faster page download time.
    You can also achieve this using HTML5 by adding preload="none" and poster="URL to the poster image" into the code shown on this page...

  • Half a chime (cuts off), no video, no boot

    My G5 just crashed launching a Protools session. It will no longer boot. It chimes - but the chime sound is cut off half way. The fans power up and I can hear the drives spin up. I've removed PCI cards, swapped drives, swapped RAM... nothing helps. No video, no response from the keyboard (trying a PRAM reset for example).
    Did I just loose a logic board? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    more info:
    It just booted after letting it sit for almost an hour.
    Passed Techtool hardware tests. I just started another loop....
    Crash!
    Just shut down with no display or fans - light still on though.
    Something overheating here? I'm hoping someone has an opinion as to logic board or CPU failure - or something else (temp sensor?).
    Any help or comments would be very much appreciated.
    What the...
    I hit the power button (expecting it to either shut off or make me hold it for 10 sec ts shut down) and it acted like it woke from sleep and continued with the Techtool test where it left off.
    Then it shut down again after 15 sec or so.
    Repeat... same.
    Opinions please!

    Pictures are fine but audio cuts off sometime around 5-10 seconds for the entire duration of the video unless you skip the video further a few seconds where the sound cuts off,audio are back but only for maybe 1 or 2 minutes then if you repeat the same step audio are back but again for only a few minutes,only occurs when not using headphones,but when I am using headphones video and the audio plays fine for the entire duration of the video.It annoys me as I don't usually use earphone.
