Song Titles Get Cut Off

I have decided to convert all of the music on my computer from MP3 to AAC format, but when i convert songs the titles tend to be cut off after 35 characters or less. A good portion of my music has rather long names in the file titles because some of them have either those featured on the song or the name of the album within the file title while they are MP3, but after having converted them to AAC this causes an inconvenience because the title will be cut off at odd places such as just after the "artist - album title" or for example if the song title itself was "portion of the song title" the newly created AAC file will only display "artist - album title - portio" rather than "artist - album title - portion of the song title" as would be preferred. I have tried turning of the option of "Automatically retrieve CD track names from the Internet" and this has not helped at all.
Is the shortening of the song titles simply an issue that I will just have to live with or is there some other option/possibly downloadable patch that could stop this from happening to my selection of music? I would love to convert the music to AAC but i also enjoy not having sore eyes and a headache from tedious tasks like copying and pasting the song names from a website into the file names for hours. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

it wouldnt be such a problem if the conversion process just cut out the album title in the name of the file, but it's the fact that the album title remains part of the file title and the song name will be cut off instead so when viewing the files in the folder they all have either the exact same name minus and appended number or they all have only a portion of the title to the track

Titles get cut off when playing after the burn

The title created in the movie are too wide and get cut off when playing it in a DVD player into a TV. Is there a setting I should use before burning?
Any help is appreciated.

You should turn on the TV Safe Area and make sure that everything that you care about is within this area. Anything outside the area is subject to the over-scan of TV sets.

Songs keep getting cut off

Most of the longer songs on my ipod get cut off at the end. I did the five 'R's and that didn't fix it. If I delete the song's and re-rip the cd on to the hard drive and sinc the ipod, that fixes the problem, but I have a ton of songs that are cutting off and don't want to have to re-rip all of my jazz cd's! I noticed that itunes will display the wrong time on a song if I jump to the end. It will count down to zero before the song has ended, but unlike the ipod, it plays the song after the time has displayed zero.
Please help!
Thanks.

By any chance are the songs that you are having issues with encoded using Apple's AAC format? I have an ongoing issue with my ipod in that songs encoded with AAC (whether purchased or ripped) will skip to the next song at a random point in the song. If the song is encoded in .MP3 format, then I don't have a problem.

Text / Titles Get Cut Off After 3 Lines?

I did some searching but couldn't find a discussion on this. When I add a Title of any kind and try to fill it with more words that fit on the screen (in vertical space) it just cuts them off at the bottom. I've attached an image that shows the third "wednesdays" text in my project and you can see it cuts off the bottom of the Y. If I add a fourth "wednesdays" you don't see it at all. Using the transform tool only stretches the text, it doesn't increase the vertical space available for more text. I am running Lion if it matters.
Has anyone found a fix for adding more vertical space for text or is this a known bug? Or am I missing something really easy?
Thanks!

I purchased a soundtrack on iTunes (Windows 7) and five of the songs that downloaded get cut off before they finish playing...any idea how to get it fixed?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Bottom half of titling near bottom screen gets cut off on my tv.

I shared a standard 4:3 movie from iMovie to the Media Browser at the large setting (720x540), then created a widescreen 16:9 project in iDVD for it (the menus look cooler in widescreen). For some reason on the final burned dvd some titling that I have in the movie near the bottom of the screen gets cut off when watching it on the tv (doesn't fit on screen). It does fit when watching it on the computer screen.
*Also, is sharing to media browser in iMovie going to give you the best quality video for a DVD made with iDVD?

I've read on this forum that quality is best when one allows iDvd to do the actual encoding rather than iMovie or another app. Will you see a significant improvement /difference between that and having iMovie or FCP encode your the QT file / Movie? ..... might be debatable.
As far as the titles running off the TV screen but not on a computer ..... well that's actually normal since most computers show a higher pixel count than most set top tv's /CRT's.
You might be able to improve this by unchecking TV Safe Area if you notice a default check mark in that particular box.
Good luck.

Songs getting cut off

okaay so my problem is whenever I import a cd into all seems okay until I sync the songs into my ipod. It seems that the first song is always cut off and then it skips to the next song. Does anybody else seem to have this problem? How do I solve this? What am I doing wrong? Suggestions please. Thanks.

I really think the problem is iTunes, not the iPod. It appears that iTunes fouls up a few songs during large transfers. At seemingly random points in the data stream it inserts a gap, and when either iTunes or an iPod encounters one of these gaps, it interprets it as the end of file, regardless of the tagged length of the song, which is at the beginning of the file.
When I find songs that don't play through their proper end, I put them into a playlist. Once a week, I make iTunes transfer those songs to my iPod again. (A four-step process: uncheck; sync; check; sync.) Then I play the playlist to confirm that the newly-transferred files work.
I hope to avoid restoring the iPod or having iTunes transfer my whole library at one time until Apple releases a new version of iTunes with specific documentation that the bug has been fixed (I've reported the bug to Apple and ask that you do likewise). I last allowed iTunes to send all of my 14.2 GB of music on 4/6/09 and have spent what will be nearly two months listening to my entire collection to make sure each song works. About 5 percent don't, but when I replace the files, they work. It seems best to limit the size of iTunes's transfers, as well as reducing iTunes's competition for computing resources during that time.

Gallery title text cut off and cover image not updating

Hello,
I've been struggling with this for a couple of weeks now, and it's driving me mad. I've been making a book in iBook Author on my iMac (10.10.2). When I preview it in iBooks on the mac it all looks fine, but when I send it to my iPad2 (iOS 8.2), which I do via dropbox, the front cover image reverts to the default for the template I choose, and gallery and interactive widget title text gets cut off (see attached pic) regardless of the size I make it, or the indent I specify.
I've tried deleting the book several times, restarted the iPad, and whatever I do it still appears the same.
I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
Cheers,
Kev.

Hi Christine,
When you say " It's not there when viewed outside of Cp/swf. Using v5.5.l", does that mean this problem only occurs in a specific output?
Try this -- Go to preferences-- SWF Size and Quality and under customer, uncheck Advance Project Compression, republish the course and check the results.
Thanks,
Anjaneai

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.

Last Seconds of Last Track on CD Getting Cut Off

The last few seconds of the last track of CDs I import are getting cut off. It has happened multiple times.
Any ideas?

This started with 7.6.1.9 upgrade. If you look at the forum "iTunes 7.6.1.9 import - last track on CD cuts 6 seconds short" that I started last week, there is a user with a workaround until there's a fix. It's a pain. Someone imported 300 CDs in his collection and then realized all the last tracks are messed up.
AIFF Workaround: Set preferences to import as AIFF (Edit-->Preferences-->advanced --> Importing)
Import the CD
Change preferences back to whatever you normally use to import
Then select your songs you've imported
Right click on the songs and say "convert selection to _"
(whatever format you normally use)
It takes a while, but it works! I forget which user reported it but a BIG THANKS to him as we can at least import until there's a new version. (check out the forum for the user!)

Text in Dynamic Textfield gets cut off

Hi
I have a dynamic text field which is just one line of text.
For some reason letters like g or p that go below the regular
line of text get cut off.
I have made the field bigger, and also played around with the
_height Property but it doesn't make a difference.
I have imported the font into the Library. When I embed it
the font doesn't cut off but looks very different. And if I change
the field to a static field it doesn't cut off either, but the font
looks a little different as well.
Any ideas?

Why should I start a new thread if this one was never resolved and I am still having the same problem?
ANYWAY,
I was able to fix this by finding an answer on a different forum.
Simply increase the text leading using the text format option, like so:
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.leading = 2;
field_txt.defaultTextFormat=format;

If you have a credit card on file on top of your gift card then it is asking you to confirm the security code for the card, which for a Visa or MasterCard is 3 digits located on the back, or AMEX has 4 digits on the front. This happens just to ensure that you are the account holder, and would happen from time to time whether it was a free or paid app, even if you have a credit through your gift card. This doesn't mean that your credit card will be charged.

What has this to do with Pages? You probably did this in Preview.
