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.

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!

Getting rid of black borders from video

is there a bleed line with this software because I do "scale to frame size"

There's no such thing as bleed in video. Your source video is at a different aspect ratio than your sequence; what are the dimensions of your footage and of your sequence?
Scale to Frame Size works by scaling the video in a sequence frame until it is able to show the entire video image; if it hits a boundary (sides or top and bottom) before completely filling the frame, it will stop scaling. It won't ever stretch, squeeze, or otherwise distort the video image. In cases like that--if your source footage and sequence are different aspect ratios--you're better off using the intrinisic (that is, built-in to every clip) Motion > Scale effect. Select the clip, bring the Effects Controls panel forward, and swivel open the Motion effect; drag the Scale parameter up or down until you fill the frame and eliminate the black bars.

Can't get rid of black box around rendered HD footage.....

I've read a thread about t
he "black box" that appears in HD footage, but didn't find an answer.
I use a PC, and edit with Adobe Premiere 3.0.
I have a Canon camcorder that uses MiniDV HD tapes to capture the HD footage, because I wanted
the tapes as back up, and the quality is better, in my opinion.
I capture the footage with the HDV capture in Premiere.
The captured file looks damn nice, full screen HD. The book says the screen size is 1440 by 1080,
but the actual screen size looks to be 1920 by 1080.
When I open up the captured file in Real Player or Windows Media Player, there is no black on the sides,
and two strips on the top and bottom that are maybe 1/4 an inch, not a problem.
When I RENDER the editted footage, I click "export" and "movie"
In the settings menu, under General, I choose"File Type" and "Microsoft AVI."
In the Video section, I choose the "Cinepak Codec by Radius"
Under Pixel Aspect Ratio, the options are:
Square Pixels (1.0)
D1/DV NTSC (0.9)
D1/DV NTSC Widescreen 16:9 (1.2)
Anamorphic 2:1 (2.0)
HD Anamorphic 1080 (1.333)
DVCPRO HD (1.5)
There is also the Keyframe and Rendering menu on the left.
When I try to use the top options, I get variation of the file with about a 1 1/2 to 2 inch black box on all sides, but the aspect
is correct, or a 1 to 1 1/2 inch box at top, no box on the sides, but the frame is mushed down.
Or the frame is square, and the vido image is pushed inward.
An example of my initial video is below, where the aspect was correct:
"Wildlife at Lake Fasse Point"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sisu86-HWV0
If I play a rendered file in Windows Media Player, even if I hit "Double Size" or "Play Full Screen," the edges will STILL be bounded
by that big black box.
I appreciate any help.

Can't get rid of black boxes when form is printed

When I save a form to PDF there are visible black boxes around the feilds in the form. I thought these would go away once it printed but they are still there and make the form look cluttered. Any idea how to fix this?

Hi;
There is no option in FormsCentral to modify the fields text input box borders. You could edit the PDF in Acrobat and remove the border. In the screen shot below I removed the border color from the top two fields, in the bottom two fields I added a fill color so you could see the input box and it doesn't just blend in with the page:
In this screen shot the form has been filled out, and this is how it would print:
If you are going to edit a FormsCentral PDF in Acrobat take a look at this FAQ first: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3661

C4700 installed ;Get rid of black box on screen??

Installed printer, it works fine. Can't get rid of black box panel on left side of computer screen;says clip book on top. So can't see left half of websites or email. Also dragging box over to print doesn't go out of panel.

hi,
I believe this is the HP Smart Web Print software that was installed after installing the full feature driver of the printer. You can uninstall it from Add/Remove Programs of the Control Panel if you are using Windows XP, or it is in Uninstall A Program of Programs and FEatures of Windows Vista or Windows 7.

I can't get rid of a "Not Enough Storage" pop-up on my IPad2. Can't close it and can't access settings. Can't shut off the device either. It's just locked up. What can I do?

How can I get rid of the "Not Enough Storage" pop-up on my IPad2? It won't go away, I can't cancel it, I can't access settings, and I can turn off the IPad to reboot. It is just locked up.

Reboot the device.
Shut down the device by holding the sleep/wake button and the home button at the same time.
Hold them both until you see the screen go black. In some cases, you may need to keep holding them even after the red power off slider appears. If it does, just keep holding it.
Wait until the white Apple logo appears.
When this happens, you can let go - the iPhone is rebooting.

When I turn on my iPad the grey 'brightness slider' is in the centre of the screen and I can't get rid of it. I've tried switching on / off 'auto-brightness' in 'settings' but it won't go away. What am I doing wrong? Any advice gratefully received.

That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

How can i get rid of the black bars?

i have shot 720 video and when editing in final cut express i have these black bars on the top and bottom how can i get rid of them to have the standard effect please help

Check the item properties of the sequence. It sounds as if you're editing in a standard definition sequence, which is the default that FCE creates, unless you set the correct format when you first launch the application.

What compass?
Do you have Lock Rotation turned ON? This creates an icon that has a circle with arrow around a lock. See the control panel to turn off Lock Rotation (swipe up from the bottom of the screen to show the Control Panel).

Can't get rid of the black

http://dealeradbrowser.com/newsletters/august2013.html
I can't get rid of the black under the guy.
I can't find it in the code. No borders. No padding.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

OK change the code to look like this:
<img style="display: block;" src="http://dealeradbrowser.com/images/salesman3.png" width="255" height="342" border="0" alt=""/>
Look at the bold text that needs to be added and it should work.
Good luck.

How can I get rid of that annoying white circle in that black square

Since Oct. 7 last I have a 5S. Before had a 4S. About 4S no complaints, so the 5S maybe faster, better cam and so on but what I really hate it that stupid white circle in a black square you can move around on your screen. However when you want to open, for instance <messages> and that white circle is very near, messages will not be opened but a uselless black sub scrn with favorites, Siri, Device, Home. How can I get rid of that or delete or move it, it will no longer be visible on my scrn.

Yes, you are right. I must have done it myself during the first days while exploring the many options after the initial set up was done. On the 4S, I still have, and also running under OS7, it was disabled that's why I thought it was default in the 5S; wrong thinking. Thanks a lot for your great help.

Can't get rid of thin outline around embedded movie?

...even after setting it to "Invisible Rectangle" in the settings box.
I'm trying to get a flash animation, converted to quicktime movie (imported with legacy format option), embedded into the PDF, and then playing as the page becomes visible (i.e. the look you'd get if you were using powerpoint)
test file attached...
This is my 2nd preference as I was trying to get my flash animation embedded into my InDesign file which then was to be exported to PDF... but when I tried both quicktime movie and SWF it caused my Acrobat to "unexpectedly quit"... again and again... so after much frustration have given up and was trying to embed the quicktime movie into the PDF - which will be take up much more time as it's a 150 pg presentation in InDesign and every time I send the PDF for approval I will need to reimport the movies into the PDF... but at least it doesn't crash out... BUT just can't get rid of the thin black line around the movie.
I convinced the client to do the 150pg presentation in InDesign not powerpoint (as has been done previously) but need to offer them the same offering as powerpoint with all the animation - which I thought would be no problem with importing flash files into InDesign - but I'm finding it fraught with difficulties!
They'll be wishing they used Powerpoint!
Any help would be so much appreciated
PS using Adobe CS4, Mac OSX 10.4, Acrobat 9

Thanks very much for the response Sandee. I tried your suggestion of the Annotation option and this worked! - wonderful.. altho this test now works for me I'd still love to get it working from InDesign.
What I'm trying to achieve... my client had 5 powerpoint presentations that need updating with new branding (totally about 160 pages - with about 20 basic animations - i.e. flashing lights on products etc).
I sold him on the idea of using InDesign/PDF rather than powerpoint - but am needing to find an easy solution for the animations. So I've been working on this test file. Have self taught myself on a basic flash animation (from Lynda.com)... and tried importing both SWF and QT .MOV into InDesign and then exporting to PDF and when it loaded up in Acrobat it would always "unexpectedly quit" upon opening... even after trying different versions of PDF compatibility and restarting etc.
Is there something obvious that I'm not doing right?
Also if I get it to work, does that mean that my client and all their staff around the world will need to be Acrobat Reader 9?
Thanks again for your time and help
