Stretch in PP CS5.5

Hello there.
I got some videos from friends & such, that I'm editing and rendering for them.
But I got a problem, some of them got 4:3 monitors, so there will be a black border (Left/Right) in the video, in Sony Vegas Pro, you can just stretch it. I've tried for a few hours now, but I cannot figure out how to do it, could anyone please guide me?
(I just want to be able to change the width of the video easily).

  • Stretch Pixel Aspect Ratio with AME CS5?

    I was given some videos that were in the wrong pixel aspect ratio. The videos are 4:3 and they were supposed to be 16:9.
    Can I stretch the videos in AME? I tried to adjust the resolution, but when I hit the Output tab to preview the video, it gave me the same 4:3 video withblack bars on the sides.
    (I also have Premiere Pro CS5, and if this could be done in Premiere, then I'm willing to do that. But I can't seem to be able to create a 16:9 sequence that is 320 X 180.)

    In Premiere, you can right click on your footage in the Project Bin.  From the context menu, choose Modify then Interpret Footage.  In that dialog box, you can tell it to conform the pixel aspect ratio to 16:9.

  • Stretched 'New Document', 'Color Picker'  dialogue boxes in Illustrator CS5.

    I opened Illustrator today and was prompted with the "Adobe Illustrator as detected a problem in the windows registry..." message. I came to these discussions and found that people got around this message by opening the program as the ADMIN. Taking these actions myself seemed to work. Once I got the program seemingly up and running again I went to open a new document only to find that when the New Document box opened it was stretched and inaccessible (see below).
    I then opened a file just to see if anything else was odd and got the same thing when opening the Color Picker (see below)
    It also occurred when I deleted a layer with artwork on it....needless to say, it's a mystery and I was hoping someone could help.
    Thank you!
    UPDATE: Upon further investigations, this appears to be happening to ALL of the dialogue boxes. And that it only appears to be happening to Illustrator, not Photoshop or InDesign.

    Hello John.
    And thanks for the quick reply.
    It's happening in the CMYK color mode. That's why it's so strange.
    In more than 10 years off experience with Illustrator I've never seen nothing like this.
    When searching for help in the forums I've read about some color situation with CS6 and the new Lab association. But I supose it didn't "contaminate" CS5.5. Unless it did.. in some update. Hope not.
    Thank you, once again.

  • Stretched photos after editing with photoshop CS5

    When I crop a photo with photoshop CS5 and then go and review it in Iphoto the picture looks like the unedited version in the "events" but when i double click on it it appears streteched. How do I fix this?
    Also, when I edit a photo with CS5 (for ex: cool a picture if it is too warm) then go to look at it in iphoto it looks like the unedited version and once I click on the photo I can see the edited version.

    The following is how Photoshop should be used from within iPhoto:
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

  • Why is Premiere CS5.5 stretching my pictures?

    I am doing a stop motion, and whenever I import my pictures, the are slightly compressed. It makes a big difference during playback. When a strech one of the pictures in the timeline, half of the time it is compressed and the other half of the time it is normal. How can i fix this?

    Can you please give us the pixel x pixel dimensions of those Still Images?
    I assume, that as they are Still Images, the PAR =  1.0, i.e. square pixels. Is that correct?
    What is your Sequence Preset, with the Frame Size, and PAR?
    Good luck,

  • Premiere Pro CS5 Playback and Performance Issues

    I upgraded (2) separate editing work stations to CS5 from CS4 about a month ago. I moved from 4 to 5 to try and get rid of some problems which both work stations were encountering.
    The problems since the upgrade are similiar: playback from timeline has intermittent audio drop out and video going to black during playback, (new one)-video locked up but audio kept playing-system hung and had to be rebooted.
    Also, when clicking around on the timeline or scrubbing the timeline, Premiere crashes.
    This type of performance on playout or timeline usage is consistent on both machines which have indentical setups and builds. None of this happens all the time but happens enough to causes problems with workflow. We edit on the work stations, dub files to playback system for air, and use a shared server to move files back and forth as needed but files are always stored locally instead of using straight from server.
    These machines are:
    Premiere Pro CS5.02
    OS  WIndows 7 Pro 64 bit
    12 GB Ram, DDR3-1333 (6-2GB modules)
    CPU Intel Xeon Quad Core [email protected] GHZ, 2 processors, 8 MB Cache
    500 GB SATA 2 hard drive, 7200 RPM, 32 MC (System Drive)...309 GB of space avail
    (3) 1 TB SATA 2 hard drives, 7200RPM, 32 MC (3 TB, RAID0 STorage) 2.16 TB of space avail
    Nvidia GE Force 9800 GT Graphics card, DUAL DVI, 1 GB
    REaltek High Def Audio, Drivers 6.0.1.5953
    (1) monitor in use
    output of system runs to ADVC-700 breakout box to feed playback system
    I have all of my software installed on C: (309 GB of 500 GB avail)
    I have all of my videos files stored on D: (Raid Storage with 2.16 TB of 3 TB avail)
    The only changes I've made since installing CS5 would be to change the auto save from 20 minutes to 60 minutes. Don't know if an auto save would cause an issue on playback as I've noted above.
    I'm not a computer whiz by any stretch of the imagination but I can follow directions if given for testing/eval.

    Do the PPBM5 Benchmark and send the results to me by PM, in addition to sending the results to Bill as indicated. I'll have a look at what might be going on here.

  • Upgrading to CS4 web premium ... or wait for CS5 ?

    The actual question I have for anyone who may have some insight:  Is there anything groundbreaking in the works for Dreamweaver, Photoshop or Illustrator in CS5 which is due to be released in about 6 months ?
    We have CS3 Web Standard, and now want to upgrade to Web Premium so we can get Photoshop and Illustrator which we now need, but with some pain could probably find a way to hold off for another 6 months .... if it was worth the wait that is. We don't necessarily need (and can't afford) the latest Software version all the time, but has there been any discussion about Improvements or New Features in the next release that's going to make us regret not waiting .......... ?
    * We are a small home business, but don't want to miss out on any major changes if you know what I mean . . .

    If you cannot afford the latest software all the time, why would you want to jump from CS3 to CS4? That falls under the 'all the time' category by going for a consecutive upgrade. A more economical way to go would be to leap-frog releases (CS3 to CS5).
    The possible upgrade to CS5 may offer better integration of the apps. Since Adobe bough Macromedia a few years ago, it has been gradually blending the apps to be friendly with each other. It would not be a stretch of the imagination that a CS5 web design workflow might be better than with CS4.
    Many web designers find Fireworks a decent replacement for both Illustrator and Photoshop. If you want to explore other image editors, consider GIMP (gimp.org) as a substitute for Photoshop and Inkscape (inkscape.org) as a substitute for Illustrator until you really need to upgrade.

  • Missing features in Audition CS5.5

    Ok, I have been playing around intensively with Audition CS5.5 for a few weeks now. Aside from the thing that SES to SESX import did not work natively (thanks Todd, for giving me the link, although I do think that it should have been included in the software in the first place), there are some other things that bug me.
    Here's my top 4 (in order of personal importance):
    1. GROUP CLIPS
    This feature is missing. If you're working on a mix, you need to be able to move parts quickly, not risking screwing up parts that are OK. Manually selecting all clips and then moving them is timewise not very efficient. IMHO, we really shouldn't have to wait until CS6 for this feature to return...
    2. LAYOUT
    I keep hitting the vertical zoom sign whenever I want to zoom in horizontally. I use horizontal zooming much more than vertical. Of course you can use the + or - signs on the keyboard, but I find myself hitting the on-screen button time and again. In Au 3 they were in the "correct" position. And there's no way of adjusting the workspace so that I can place the buttons where I like them to be. I am so used to this on-screen layout, that I think it will take a long time to adjust to this.
    3. CLIP TIME STRETCH
    You can't drag clips to stretch them to a desired length. You do have an improved dialog for Strecth and Pitch (which I like), but you can't do it visually on the timeline.
    4. PRE-LISTEN TRACKS
    I Au 3 you could quickly sort through multiple effect tracks by pre-listening them using Auto-play in the import dialog to find that right type of swoosh you need from your sound collection. Now you can't, or you have to rely on Adobe Bridge.
    I know that the Adobe Bug Report / Feature Request form is the best way to submit these (and I frequently use that), but I'm also curious if other sound editors deal with the same problems.

    I believe no one has responded to the original post because all of these topics have been discussed in other threads since Audition CS 5.5 was released.  We absolutely appreciate knowing which missing features are most important to our users so that we can place priority toward implementing them.  While I can't divulge what features will be in Audition CS 6 at this time, I think it's safe to say that most of these requests will be satisfied.
    Regarding the layout of the Zoom buttons, it is possible to display these buttons both within the standard Editor panel (the default view) and as a separate panel which can be positioned as you like.  Click Window > Zoom in the menu bar to open this panel.

  • CS3 CS4 CS5 backwards compatible or just backwards?

    Have just spent over a month talking with Adobe "Customer Service" - an offshore call centre whose entire capability seems to be to read from a script which says "Sir I understand your problem" - really? - "But all I can suggest is that you purchase CS5" - I had already! - "Or visit our online community".
    Over a month - I may include the thread here - including a dozen telephone calls where I was occasionally hung up on and where I NEVER ONCE spoke with a technician who actually understood my problem.
    I have client video projects stretching all the way back to Premiere CS2.
    When I upgraded from CS3 to CS4 (on PC) I was told to "start all my video projects from scratch" - that was the helpful answer from the Adobe "Customer Service" team! It appears as though the way CS4 handles native media formats is entirely non-compatible with CS3 or earlier.
    Two months ago I purchased a Mac and CS5 suite. Again, my CS3 projects are not compatible it seems. One month ago my PC died.
    I began a dialog with Adobe "Customer Service" looking for help.
    I own Production Suite or Master Suite in CS2, CS3, CS4 and CS5 - so I'm not a software pirate - and have a reasonable expectation that I should attract a certain level of support: specifically, I would like to exchange my CS3 PC software for CS3 Mac - seems like the best way to run those older projects - BUT I would gladly take any advice you can provide!!
    After over a month talking with a range of "Customer Service" people ranging from well-meaning but un-trained to straight-ahead rude people, I've been told to go buy the software somewhere else!
    Adobe CS3 for Mac ships new from $800 to $1500 from eBay.
    Boot Camp is an option since I own CS3 for PC but then I need to buy Windows and a Parallel software solution - also around $1200.
    I no longer feel like such an evangelist for IP - when this is the service you get as a Genuine Adobe Customer.
    I love using Adobe products but am disgusted at the total lack of service.
    Can anybody help?

    Going from Windows to MAC with AVI, WMV, and converted VOB's (if done) may cause some funny things to happen.
    I think I would check up what CODEC's those AVI and converted VOB's are using, and check if your MAC supports them, and also check if your MAC supports WMV.
    "basically every kind of media you can import to PP" is probably different on Windows than it is on MAC.

  • Type on a path in photoshop CS5

    I am a new user of Photoshop, and am using CS5.  "I'm working through Classroom in a Book" and following instructions given, and also looking up information and videos on line.
    When I try to type text on a path, I move the cursor till the I cursor has the diagonal/wavy line through it, click and type.  The little round circle with a plus sign in it immediately positions itself right where I am typing, so am lucky if I can see even the first letter typed.  If I keep typing, and then go to the path selection tool, I can make the path long enough to see all I have typed, but this is frustrating.
    In all the videos and instructions, it shows type just going along the path created.
    How can I get it to type on the full length of the line initially, rather than having to type blindly and then stretch it out?
    Thanks

    Hello!
    You should try to decrease the font size before typing.
    Does the CIAB state documents size, resolution, lenght of the path, and font size? Double check that you are following exactly the instructions, and everything should be correct!
    Happy learning!

  • Mouse randomly jumping while using most tools in Photoshop CS4 and CS5.

    Hi,
    I have recently been using my photoshop cs5 when all of a sudden the mouse has began to jump and move randomly when I am using some of the tools. For example, when I use the eraser tool it will not always, but frequently erase something in a random position on the page, and this is becoming a pain as I can be editing something zoomed right in and zoom out to find random areas of my drawing gone which can be very frustrating, but this problem is not restricted to the eraser tool, when I transform shapes with the transform tool occassional it will stretch the shape 4000pixels wide when I only go to increase it by 5, or when i try to move it, it just disappears and I find it outside of the drawing canvas.
    This is really causing alot of issues for me, so how can I resolve this issue?
    Thanks,
    Ben.

    Ok I am going to toss some thing out, they may sound silly or redundant but these are things we simply do not know that could cause issues.
    What type of mouse pad do you have?
    Highly reflective or worn smooth mouse pads or using desktop surfaces rather then a mouse pad can cause light distortion and cause jumppy behavior uneven survaces or highly reflective survfaces are bad too. the same can be said about overly light absorbent surfaces. as they can spread the light. Like if you are like me and have a wide arm cloth chair, you still need a mouse pad on the arm of the chair or your mouse pointer will jump as it travels accross the uneven surface.
    Do you have any other usb devices installed?
    Are you plugged into a USB hub and not the computer directly?
    Is it possable its your keyboard thats causing the issue. Unplug the KB then see if the mouse still jumps.
    let me know if any of this helpped.

  • CS5 install on case-sensitive file system - can't choose different drive (Mac OS)

    I just upgraded my macbook pro to a new drive and 10.6, and chose 'case sensitive' HFSX, 'cause I'm a heavy command line user and wanted the maximum BASH experience.
    I'm trying to install the CS5 demo to try some web design tools, and the installer immediately says "Installation to case-sensitive drives is not supported. Please choose a different drive location to install." So case-sensitive drives aren't supported; crappy but fair enough.
    The error message leads me to think that I can just choose a non-case-sensitive drive to install to, but I never get a chance to pick one - I click on the installer and it goes straight to the error message.
    So - how do I pick a different drive to install to? Am I just an idoit, is there no way to select a different drive, or will it not install on a system that even BOOTS from a c.s. drive, regardless of the format of the drive that CS5 is installed to?
    I called the support number, and the poor fellow on the other end suggested I re-download the demo, and if the new download fails call Apple support to report my 'drive error'.
    I'm hoping to avoid an entire backup-reformat-restore and lose CLI compatibility just to try some demo software.
    ch

    That is part of why I would prefer case sensitive by default.   I know some server packages do the folding for you, same as some web servers do not differentiate between 'htm' and 'html' when people type in requests, but most of the time the backend server is going to be case sensitive and it is not safe to assume (or hope) that the service will fix things.  Compensating for mistakes is fine, but allowing such silent corruption is not a terribly laudable things and it encourage people be careless.
    Every once in a while I do encounter someone submitting some work where their configuration values and file names do not match, and 'well my laptop silently fixes it for me since it does not care' is a poor excuse.  And if I sent broken filenames upstream or even worse commit them to be used on a server, that is a pretty significant professional failure.
    Back to Adobe specifically, I have been trying the suggestion on poster mentioned in where one installs the Adobe applications to a case insensitive drive then copy over the installed files.  This does not quite work out of the box, but for reasons I would be hard pressed to believe are Apple's fault.
    For instance the first error I encounter is the inability of Bridge to load:
    "@executable_path/../Frameworks/WRServices.framework/Versions/A/WRServices"
    When I go look inside the app directories I can see that in Bridge the file has been named 'awrservices', but in Illustrator it is correctly named AWRServices.   So it looks more like a problem in whatever version control they are using.  The only way I can picture (which my adminitialy limited knowledge of what I am sure is a large and complex project with all sorts of legacy issues) that the installer toolchain factors in as a problem is if they have mismatches in their own scripts/packaging and have been depending on HFS's bad behavior to hide the problem.  I can understand not wanting to invest the time to pay down the technical debt on such an issue, but having such errors in your configuration causes long term headaches.
    And I say this as someone who worked on just such a project, moving a software suite that had legacy code stretching back longer than Adobe has existed as a company.  This conversion included moving from a case insenstive filesystem to a case sensitive one and yeah, there were lots of problems that the old FAT32 system hid from us, but it really paid off over the long run to fix them rather than try to twist the code to compensate.
    Having said that, if the problem is really that they do not want to go update their filenames (in version control or config files), then you can always add folding to your loaders.  I have had to do that a few times due to upstream people developing on case insensitive systems and sending data files with incorrect file names.  This is an old class of problem, and while I can empathize with the struggles project managers have trying to get approval for paying down technical debt, the problem never gets better on its own and usually gets worse.
    Which is why I responded with so much grump to the 'I never needed it' argument since that is exactly the type of customer comment that marketing tends to point to in order to push such things off the schedule.  This is the type of thing where the customer does not really know what they want because they are already accustomed to broken behavior and most of the problems are hidden from their immediate view.  It is easy to cover up the limitations since modern UI (and their search capabilities) can handle this. 
    It is not just arcane developers stuff, and it is the same transition that people have made with things like spaces, quotes, and parentheses, where years ago users believed they had no need for them since they were not using them, but they were only not using them because they did not work.   Today try to tell a modern user they can not put (, ", ) or even ' ' in their filenames and they would rightly question why this piece of obvious functionality is not working since today they are used to it working and no longer automatically compensate for it.
    I also find it ironic that by default OSX hides a number of file extensions, so from the user's perspective you can have multiple files with the exact same name displayed to them, so you can get display issues where 'foo' is the same as 'foO' if both have .txt, but 'foo' and 'foO' are not the same if one has .txt while the other is .pdf.  Add to this confusion cases like 'foo.txt' and 'foo.pdf" both being shortened to 'foo'.

  • Flex-box model not correctly implemented in Dreamweaver CS5.5, pleas improve!

    Hi all,

  • Cs5 - images have weird grid-like/pixelation distortion i cant get rid of! help!

    i've just downloaded the trial of photoshop cs5 (it took ages mind you!) and when i go to open (or create) a file that is larger (eg 1000x750 pixels) there is this weird grid that distorts the image (it's not the grid you can turn off and on or the grid that shows the actual pixels). when i open a smaller file there is no grid and the image is perfectly clear and normal - but when i zoom out there is a grid. also, when i'm zoomed out (eg 66% but sometimes from even 200%) the distortion happens, whereas if i zoom closer it disappears.
    it doesn't distort the image itself, but distorts the colours in parts of the image.
    i've experimented enlarging the canvas of a smaller image and placing a larger image into it on a different layer, but then the grid affects not only the larger image but the smaller as well, like it is stretching the colours to the edge of the canvas, or trying to pixelate/fuzz the image. however the grid doesn't affect the whole canvas, just the bits above and to the side of the larger images (mostly).
    also when i zoom in/out gradually the squares of the grid enlarge and change size (both bigger and smaller).
    so i don't know what the problem is, and any help/suggestions would be much appreciated as i need to use the program for a uni assignment due in a couple of weeks!!
    thanks!

    Hey- I have the same issue. When I started using cs5 I noticed this grid/distortion right away. At first I thought it was my wacom tablet (I use an Intuos 3) but its not. Its very annoying because I cant put my fingure on why this is happening. Anytime I ask a friend about it who normally knows alot about photoshop they tell me its that grid option thing which I have already turned off. I have included a screen shot of what the issue looks like. Any ideas anyone?
