Urgent: left and right cut off when dragging entire clip to project

When I right click the clips in the event library and click "Select entire clip" and drag that to the project window, the left and right sides of the video are cut off. If I select only a single clip and drag that up or a portion of a clip, it looks ok. I need to get this thing done in an hour or so and I am baffled because there are people in this video that are being cut off! Help!

Actually, the more I look at it, the entire frame is cropped, even though I have "Initial Video Placement" set to fit in frame, not crop. The quality really gets lousy too when dragging them in. I am baffled why dragging a single clip fits the entire video, but dragging the entire clip series gets cropped...??

I am being charged for 3 GB that apparently Verizon hadn't caught up on that I had used!! The last night of my cycle I called and checked and I had .5 GB left and right before midnight when the cycle ended it caught up on 3 GB!! I now have to pay for this

SO CRAPPY!!! SO FED UP WITH VERIZON!! WE ARE GETTING SCREWED OVER!! I am being charged for 3 GB that apparently Verizon hadn't caught up on that I had used!! The last night of my cycle I called and checked and I had .5 GB left and right before midnight when the cycle ended it caught up on 3 GB!! I now have to pay for this data I know I did not use! I never have my data on!! Now it says I used 7 GB last month!!!

Data usages are always estimated...I don't believe any carrier post data usage in real time. I've had my data increased due to a large chunk being unaccounted for at the time of my cycle. Thankfully when I'm billed for it...it has never pushed me over my limit.

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.

I would like to transfer old reel-to-reel tapes to an iMac. There are different recordings on the left and right channel of the tapes. When I connect the tape deck to the Mac, I get one recording on the left, the other on the right speaker. What to do?

I was about to transfer some music from a reel-to-reel machione to my Mac. There are different sound recordings on the left and right channels. When I connect with RCA cables and Y-connector, I hear one recording from the left speaker, another from the right side. How do I record only one side, but hear it from both speakers?

You don't say what end, or connectors are plugged into what. I'm assuming the RCA connectors are on the reel-to-reel end. Since the tape has two different mono recordings, one on each track, you of course only want one at a time during playback. Otherwise, the Mac (or any recording setup) can only treat it as a stereo recording with the standard Left-Right tracks.
1) There are multiple ways to connect different types of cables to get a mono signal down to a stereo output at the Mac. Here's one way.
2) Plug any RCA cable (single cable or stereo) into only the right or left RCA output of the reel-to-reel.
3) On the other end of the RCA cable, plug in an adapter like this. That will feed the single RCA output into a mono 1/8" plug.
4) Then plug that adapter into this. That turns the 1/8" mono signal into a "stereo" output with the same single track audio being fed to the Mac on both the left and right channels.
5) Record either the left or right output of the reel-to-reel. Rewind the tape and switch the RCA connector on the reel-to-reel to the right channel (if you started with the left) and record that mono signal as stereo.
Or, avoid all of this hardware mumbo-jumbo in the first place and do this:
1) Record the audio just the way you have it. Two different recordings, one on each channel.
2) Copy the audio recording to a new name and open it in your editor.
3) Highlight the left track and copy/paste it into the right track. Presto! Mono recording of the left track on both channels. Save the recording.
4) Repeat, only copy/pasting the right track into the left track and save the second recording.

I get a blue line that runs left and right only on the games section, what is that?

I got a blue line that runs left and right & viceversa when I m on the games, can somebody help me? I don't know if that is a virus....I never got one so I don't know...

You do not have a virus. It sounds like you have turned on Switch Control, which can be turned back off in Settings > General > Accessibility. You probably have the Accessibility Shortcut feature turned on, causing a triple-click on the home button to activate or deactivate that feature. You can disable that shortcut in the same Accessibility settings.

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.

Converting 16X9 .dv to .avi, gets letterboxed at left and right

Hey Guys,
Anyone know how to retain 16X9 from .dv to .avi using MPEG Streamclip?
I'm using V1.9.2... tried different settings 5 times now... can't get it to stop squeezing the picture on the left and right.
Also, when I play new file back in RealPlayer (for Mac) the sound is missing. In MPEG Streamclip, it's there. (?)
Thanks!

Hey Guys,
Thanks Nick and Studio X for your help. Definitely using it to navigate through this.
Results so far: The aspect ratio issue is still not solved. To refresh... this is a 16X9 .dv file and I'm trying to retain that aspect ratio as I convert it to a PC playable file.
Following Nick's suggestion... I
1) Opened the original file (.dv file) in Quicktime and saved it with "Clean" as the chosen Presentation conform choice. Quicktime made a new file with the .mov extension (I noticed picture degradation at this point). Knowing I still have to get to an .avi file (per Nick's suggestion) I then
2) Encoded this .mov file as an .avi file with MPEG Streamclip, then to test I played the resulting .avi in RealPlayer for Mac (I'm slowly thinking using RealPlayer for Mac is not really a test, based on Studio X's comments, and FYI, even though I have WMP for Mac it won't open these files... not sure if that's expected or not).
Anyway, in RealPlayer the aspect ratio was still squeezed left and right (faces look tall). Playing the resulting file in MPEG Streamclip also has the same results... video is squeezed on the sides.
Another FYI... I did find a backdoor, quick and dirty solution in case anyone wants to know:
In the FILE menu of MPEG Streamclip, you choose a file type to export to. In the resulting window there are settings to adjust. To the right of the ZOOM setting is the X/Y setting, where you can type in any number. I tried a couple numbers to narrow it down... and 1.23 seems to be just right. This forces the aspect ratio of the new file (at least when tested in RealPlayer for Mac) to have the "shape" of 16X9. Don't know what the inadvertent consequences of doing this are, though. I'm sure this messes something up somewhere!
I will pay for Flipformac and let everyone know the results.
Gotta say, in 2010 it blows my mind there isn't a file type everyone in the world can just play, without these kind of issues. I feel like it's still 1995. This is like different CD player manufacturers allowing only certain types of CDs or DVDs to play in their CD or DVD players. We didn't choose to pain the consumers with that... we made CDs playable in all CD players. It makes sense!

Opened a .ai file, found that left and right side are cut off (landscape vs. regular the issue?)

Information all in the title. I open a .ai file and the left and right sides of the image are cut-off based on the "page" box

Did you open it in a lower version?
It looks like you opened the PDF part of the file instead of the AI part.

IMovie crops-truncates-cuts-deletes left and right area of ".mov" movie!!!

iMovie crops-truncates-cuts-deletes left and right area of mov movie!!!
I am using iMovie 8.05 on Mac OS X 10.5.8 on Mactel. Is that iMovie '09. The dual-naming is utterly confusing.
OK, here is my problem:
When I import a ".mov" file (generated by screen movie capture via Internet using Snapz Pro X) into iMovie, it shows complete on the lower pane (event timeline). Yet, when I drag from the event timeline pane it to the top left pane (project), the movie shows truncated-cropped (the left and right parts of the screen are not shown). That is, such left and right areas are deleted!
Is this a bug? How to fix it?
Thanks.

Update:
I have seen that I can use the "Window - Cropping..." menu to fit, crop and ken burns, yet if I choose to fit, then all the movie is included which is what I want, but also black areas are shown on top and bottom of the movie which I do not want. Is there a way to delete such black areas?
If instead I try to use crop or ken burns, I cannot include all the movie area, because the real area of the movie is much wider than the area that the iMovie frame allows. Is there a way to select beyond the default area on the left and right, to really include all the movie?
Thanks.

In Final Cut Pro X 10.1.1 I'm trying to separate left and right stereo tracks to delete left and pan right to centre. I cannot find a way to do this.

I record in stereo with a 10KHz tone down the left channel to defeat AGC on my camera and mic feed into the right channel. When I edit, I want to mute/delete the left channel and pan the right into the centre, to leave me with mono audio across both left and right. I could do this easily in FCP 6 but can find no way to do it in FCP X. I'm using the same source files. When I choose Dual Mono mode in the Audio Inspector, it mixes left and right and pushes the combined signal into both channels, giving me a mix of 10KHZ tone and audio in both left and right. Stereo mode shows me the two channels correctly with one driven hard (the tone) and the other at good voice levels. I just want to kill the left channel and pan the right to centre.
I'm converting original TOD files using MPEG Streamclip before import and definitely keeping audio as stereo.
This is driving me nuts! It should be simple and is in FCP 6. Any help greatly appreciated.
Stereo Setting
Mono Setting

Mb - If you're using FCPX 10.1.1 and Mavericks, make certain you've downloaded the most current Sony XDCAM FCPX plugin from sonycreativesortware.com unless you're using an older version of FCPX and then you'd need the previous XDCAM plugin.
You shouldn't see 8 mono tracks. There are import settings in /fCPX that you can check and I don't ask FCPX to analyze my media or seperate mono or combine stereo, etc. I like to have everything come in as it is, especially because I know what I've done with every channel, etc.
What I wrote to Ian is what I'd tell you - so please take a look at how you can make a "stereo" track that is actually two mono tracks, mono. Once you do that you can address each mono channel by itself since it needs different volume, compression, and EQ than other channels.
There are ethernet, USB, and firewire controllers that work in FCPX, but that's not the typical workflow because generally if you're getting into any amount of post audio sweetening beyond basic "staples" audio treatment, you would instead use "Roles" to export your audio to Logic or Pro Tools and do you work in those applications and then cut the final product back into your FCPX project. In Logic or Pro Tools is where you might use a controller.
In terms of automating levels, I'm not positive I know what you mean. Compressor is a nice internal Logic plugin that kind of automates levels in a way but its about compressing peaks at a threshold that you set and at a ratio of compression. So I may not understand what other automation is available unless you've exported you tracks to Logic or Pro Tools.

Is there a way to tie to iPads together so that when you turn a page with a tap on one, both iPads turn a page. I am using the ipad to replace piano sheet music. The challenge is that ordinary sheet music is on both a left and right page.

We are trying to use an ipad to replace ordinary paper sheet music on a piano. When truning ordinary paper pages, it is sometimes hard to grasp one page, turn it quickly and get it to stay turned. The idea with using an ipad is that a tap turns the page, it stays turned. However,,,,,ordinary sheet music is on both left and right pages. With one turn you get 2 new pages. The ipad, being smaller results in only one page and therefore twice as many page turn taps; more taps equals less hands on the piano. If we could tie 2 ipads together and get them both to turn the page simultaneously it would be nice. We are trying to get used to using the ipad. We are using ForScore app to get sheet music into the ipad; we could load one with odd pages and one with even pages. Maybe this is getting too complicated.
Anyway to tie 2 units together
John

No way to control one device from the other. But, according to ForScore, you should be able to display two sheets side by side in landscape mode (2-up view)? Not sure if that helps as it must make the actual print smaller to do so.

Remove left and right margin when display portlets

What is the best way to remove the left and right margin when display portlets?
I found a file called \portalpages\dotnet\prod\src\com\plumtree\portalpages\browsing\myportal\/
MyPortalContentView.cs
But I do not see a place for the left and right margins. What is the correct place to modify these margins? (How about the top and bottom margins too?)
See the green highlight?

That's it yeah, seems to curve upwards at the sides. Dunno whether leaving a heavy book on it might sway it back into position?!
I had the display upgraded when I bought it so presumed it could have been done whilst 'in operation'. Apart from that there's nothing wrong with it really, doubt it's something they would take it back on anyway.

I have layed out a site with 2 rectangles (one on top of the other) in the footer and the one is being cut off when I publish the site

The depth of the rectangle is fine when I view in muse but only cuts off when published

Hello,
Issue is because of the text box in the middle of the rectangle (In MAIN Master page), Please increase its width and then try to preview it.
Please take a look at the screenshot. I increased it to 311 px and its working form me.
Please take a look at the screenshot for better understanding.
Regards
Vivek

I get noise when I combine left and right from the headphone output.

I need to combine the left and right channels of a Macbook Pro at the output connector. When I build the cable to do this, there is significant static noise introduced. If I break the short between left and right, the noise goes away.
(I'm doing this to put both channels of audio into a single side of a set of headphones, and I really don't want to buy a mixer.)

Eddie,
I just ran a test on my G5 Logic system (Logic 9.02) with an internal RME PCI 8in/8out Audio Card and I get perfect separation bouncing to a stereo audio file using standard panning. Click on one side and a couple of crunchy guitars on the other. Each side is completely separate.
So, it seems to point to your hardware unless you have some other audio routing that we've missed.
I'm re-doing my setup so I may try a couple of other tests as I go along.
