Why does my exported video have black edges?

Hi Everyone,
Somehow my video must be changing frame sizes or something to that extent. I have thin black edges on my exported video. I have checked carefully and my output and source settings match to my visual knowledge. Please help.

Mark,
I can show you the player in Premier but I wouldn't know how to export the encoded clip back into Premiere LOL. I'm a total newbie at CS6. And I don't know how to upload a clip, I don't even know how to screen shot it through my notebook. I tried print screen and I get nothing so I am going through my mobile device to upload everything. Thank you guys for your patience and help.

The video is black..? HELP!

So i just got my new flip camera and I imported videos yesterday. I also imported some today and I can clearly see those. I could watch them yesterday. But now today when i try to watch the videos only the sound comes up and the screen is black. Please help!

Try updating to QuickTime 7.7.3. (That has helped a few people who were getting that when trying to play the videos with version 7.7.2.)

Why do my videos have black bars

I've tried placing Vimeo and Youtube videos into a Muse page and I get black bars top and bottom. How do I get rid of them?

Using social widgets. This video is from Vimeo. The black bars aren't just behaving like letterbox bars. You can see the bottom bar is overlapping the Vimeo player. When the play bar goes away, the black bars stay.

Have black block over monitor picture.

Upgrade to 2.0 went fine but when using it I find I have a large black box
inside the monitor screen that hides all of my picture except a small strip at the bottom. There I can see a tiny bit of the video I should be seeing a full screen of.
I've tried a normal M2V and wave file and then a few jpegs in a slideshow but the result is the same--mostly blacked out but a small bit of video at the bottom of the screen.
I've tried resizing the "monitor" but the black box just resizes too. I can move the box from one screen to the other (two monitor setup) but the black box just stays with it no matter what I do. I believe my video card is a Matrox G55 but might be Parhelia. It works great in After Effects 7 and Photoshop and in Encore 1.5 but with 2.0 there this black box!
I'm running Win XP SP2 on an HP XW6000.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

I just checked and the video card on this rig is a Matrox G450. Could that be the problem? I don't see any list of capable devices for Encore 2.0 so I assume there are very few cards it wouldn't work with, but often when you have a black area replacing an area where there should be a graphic, it's because there's something lacking in the hardware department. Would that be a safe assumption here or should I be looking for something else?
My editor says that when the monitor is set to 1280 x 1024 we still see the black box in Encore 2.0 but now he says the screen elements are so small in After Effects 7 that the time lines just seem to blur together, so I'm hoping that Encore and AE7 can live together peacefully without having to just drop back to Encore 1.5 for good.
Thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.

All flash videos have black screen and cause Firefox crashes

Whenever I'm playing a video with Flash, the screen is black although the sound is playing. Then Firefox is crashing.
I'm using the newest Firefox Version (28.0) on Mac OS 10.9.2 (newer Macbook Air) and the newest Flash version. I tried Safe mode and deactivated my plug-ins to make sure it's Flash.
I re-installed Flash and installed but it didn't help.
My Firefox crash reports say "hang | libsystem_kernel.dylib@0x15a3a" under signature and "EXC_BREAKPOINT / 0x00000002" under crash reason.

I solved this problem by disabling hardware acceleration in the settings of adobe flash (right click/context menu). Although this might be difficult if the video is crashing before you were able to access the settings menu.

Flash Player 14 : FLV alpha videos have black background!!!

Please correct this bug.
All flv videos with alpha are now played with a black background. It's work with all previous Flash player versions...

Is that the reason why I can only view youtube right now? I can't view anything else even after clean instal. system restart and everything.

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 7. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or reboot before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
If the warning persists, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 6
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 7
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 8
Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

i tried to get the installation disc for the camcorder but mac wont' recognize it becaue it is windows based i guess.
i just bought the camcorder a few months ago and when my computer crashed thought i'm finally getting a mac...it's been a costly venture which has resulted in more frustration than before my pc.
now the things i want to use with my mac that i thought would be even simpler...are not even useable...

That camera shoots H.264 in an .avi wrapper.
You will have to transfer the files via the Finder.
Get a free copy of MPEG Streamclip and convert them to QuickTime .mov using the H.264 codec if you are presumably editing in iMovie.
Note that your list of video codecs won't look like mine as I have Final Cut Pro, but H.264 is definitely an option for you.

Hi when I stream video content to my Tv using Apple from my Ipad3 I find the Ipad goes to sleep after 2/3 minutes and disconects, the only way I have found to stop this is to continually tap the Ipad screen but there has to be a simpler method/ any help

Hi when I stream video content to my Tv using Apple tv from my Ipad3 I find the Ipad goes to sleep after 2/3 minutes and disconects, the only way I have found to stop this is to continually tap the Ipad screen but there has to be a simpler method/ any help would be most welcome.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Contact the developer of the Air Video app.

I have a stupid black box that (not the canvas, its another box) my footage sits on top of in FCP 7. I didn't shoot it myself so I don't know what camera was used. I just don't want any black blocks above or below my video.

I was given this footage and did not shoot it so I do not know what else was done with it or how it was shot. Here is some info. According to quicktime the video, H.264 DV, 720 by 480 (640 by 480), Millions 16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo, 29.97 fps,
In FCP it says the frame size is 480 by 270. Compressor Windows Media 9. 29.97 fps .
I can change the color of the box under the dropdown to white, checkerboard 1 or checkerboard 2. I changed it to white but when I playback it turns black again. Please help!

Your post contains terms that are inaccurate and inappropriate for a video editing application but I'm going to assume you've not really used FCP very much.
You have provided two mutually exclusive descriptions of the video. ONe is accurate, the other is impossible. Which one do we believe?
If you don't have Flip4Mac installed, Windows media is not likely to be decompressed at all. H.264 is difficult to play back in real time and almost impossible to edit unless you transcode to a more editor-friendly codec like DV. You can do that with Compressor.
You seem to have a scaling issue since FCP is trying to place your 720x480 clip into a 720x480 sequence but think the video is half that size and you have not told it to scale it up (which might not be a good idea) so the clip is sitting on a transparent background which FCP will show as black, white, or checkerboard. Either way, it's not really there.
You also do not seem to understand the difference between the canvas background, which does not render, and the background that is seen behind scaled clips that do not fill the frame.
Your post has lots of issues.
Let's try to basics again.
Since you didn't shoot the video, you need to talk to whoever gave it to you and try to determine what codec it really has been created in.

Have you launched and tired Image Capture? When it's launched with the iPad connected the photos will display in the window. Select those you want to upload and use the Import to: menu and select Other. Navigate to the Desktop and select the folder you created to hold those photos.

I have an ipod and iPhone I've gone threw two off Brand chargers. They have just stopped working and have a little black mark on them. Please help me !

I have an iPod and an iPhone. I've gone threw two off brand chargers and they stopped working on me and have a black mark on them. Should I be considered about the mark, and should I get a charger made by Apple ?

What do yo mean by black mark?
Can you post a photo of the cable?
Frequently non-Apple cable are of poor quality and frequently fail.
Yes, get an Apple cable. I have been using the Lightning cable that came with my iPad 4 and 7G iPod Nano for over 2 and 1/2 years without problems

ITunes says my iPad 2 is over capacity with videos but I've removed them all when syncing. Please help. Have restored it too-didn't work

It's been this way for days. Restoring doesn't seem to work.

If you are sure that the videos have been removed from the iPad - Have you tried restarting the iPad or resetting it?
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Need Help Streaming Video From Web Server Built Into Application - Linksys WRT54g Router

Very much appreciate any help getting streaming video feed from web server built into video application to work properly using port forwarding on my Linksys WRT54g wireless router.
Here is the situation:
My PC is connected to the internet via a Linksys WRT54g wireless router.
The Windows XP Pro SP2 firewall is enabled, with a firewall exception established for the video camera application.
On the router, forwarding of port 80 is enabled for the LAN IP address of the PC running the video application with an embedded web server, and the web server in the video camera application is also set to use port 80.
I have a free DYNDNS account and also run the DYNDNS updater program on the PC running the video application with embedded web server. According to the DYNDNS web site and the DYNDNS updater program, the IP address assigned to the machine running the video application with embedded web server is set correctly in my dyndns account.
When I open a browser (Explorer or Firefox) on the PC running the video camera application with embedded web server, I am able to connect to the video application's web server by going to the dyndns address linked to the machine running the video application. The video application's web server is set to use the dyndns address. That's the good news. The bad news is that I can't connect to the video application's web server from any machine that connects to the internet that uses a router other than the router used by the PC running the video application. I am only able to connect to the streaming video from the application's web server only on machines that connect to the internet using the same (home) router used by the PC that is running the video application.
Since I am able to connect to the video app's embedded web server successfully on the machine running the video application, it seems that at least something about the current port forwarding settings is correct. For example, if I uncheck 'enable' for forwarding of port 80 on the router settings page, I am no longer able to connect to the video app's web server when I try to do so in a browser running on the machine running the video app. When I re-enable port 80 forwarding on the router, I am again able to connect to the web server of the video application on the machine running the video app. I thought that by enabling forwarding of port 80 on the router and associating that port with the LAN IP of the machine running the video application, it would be possible to connect to the streaming video of the video app's embedded web server from ANY machine connected to the internet, but that is not the case. There must be some other router settings to update/change in order to get the port forwarding working to enable a successful connection to the video web server, but I am stumped. Very grateful for any suggestions as to how to get this working properly.
Thanks in advance...

The firewall log can be configured on the third tab in the window for the firewall settings, where you can turn the firewall on and off completely.
From your tests, though, it does not seem to be the firewall. However, to be sure, it would be good to check the log. It will help to eliminate the firewall as the culprit and you may find it handy in the future, too. ;-) Just don't forget to turn the log off again after you are done because it may cause some performance penalty on your system while on.
From what you write, it seems as if I should give a little networking background on the ip addresses you'll see. Your setup is (or should be) a modem connected to the WAN/Internet port of the WRT. The computer is connected into a LAN port of the WRT.
Your router has two IP addresses (that's what makes it a router): a WAN address and a LAN address. The WAN address is the address assigned by the ISP. It is a normal internet IP address. Everyone is able to send packets to this IP address. The WAN address is the one reported by whatismyipaddress.com, it should be listed in the dyndns record and it is the address that your router shows on the Status page. It's the public IP address of your router. Dyndns maps your dyndns.org name to that IP address.
Your router also has an IP address on the LAN side. You can configure it to be whatever you want. The default is 192.168.1.1 with netmask 255.255.255.0 and it is better to leave it like that or at least inside the network 192.168.*.*. 192.168 is a special, reserved IP address range for private networks. Basically, routers in the internet are not supposed to forward addresses in this range. That makes them suitable for private LANs as the packets never can get anywhere. Most people using Linksys routers have there LAN in 192.168.1.*.
The router acts as gateway, which means it forwards packets from PCs in the LAN to the internet and back. As all your PCs in your LAN share a single WAN IP address, the gateway does address translation (NAT). This works only in one direction: from the inside to the outside. The router remembers when a PC in your LAN sends something out and accepts the responses in and sending them back to the PC. If something comes in from the internet which cannot be associated with a ongoing communication the packet is dropped unless you use port forwarding.
All computers in your LAN either have a static IP address assigned or use DHCP to get it automatically. The router has a DHCP server as well which gives out IP address from 192.168.1.100-149 if not changed. With a router with default settings static IP addresses can be in the range of 192.168.1.2-99 and 150-254.
ipconfig /all reports your IP address in your LAN, i.e. an address 192.168.1.*. The gateway in this output should be 192.168.1.1 which is your router. And packet no in the LAN address range 192.168.1.* is send to the router which forwards the packets into the internet.
An address 192.168.1.* should not appear as internet address in the Status page of the router nor should it appear at dyndns.
Port forwarding is used to operate a server in the LAN. By default, a server in the LAN cannot be reached from the internet. You have to configure port forwarding for this. You configure that traffic bound for a specific port (e.g. TCP port 80 for http) on your WAN IP address is forwarded to the same port on a specific LAN IP address. If your server runs on 192.168.1.50 than traffic to your WAN IP address port 80 is forwarded to 192.168.1.50 port 80. That way your HTTP server can be reached from the internet. As you can only configure a fixed IP address in port forwarding it is recommended that the server uses a static IP address and not DHCP as in the latter case the IP address may change over time...
O.K. so much for networking. I hope that makes things a little clearer and you can verify that your setup is how it is intended to be.
I suggest the following: on the router's security page there is an option to block WAN requests. Remove the check if it is set (meaning: do not block). After you did that change you should be able to ping your WAN address (e.g. ping xxxx.dyndns.org) from the internet. That way we know that it is on the correct address.
Also on the Administration page make sure that remote management is disabled (should be like that per default) or that the management port is NOT 80 but for example 8080. What is your your UPnP settings on the same page?
O.K. that should be enough for the moment...
