Using Safe Margins in PE11 Video Clips

Is it possible to manually resize a video clip in Premiere Elements 11 so that it fits inside the safe margin frame? If so how do I do this?
Also, is it possible to get rid of video clips' black side bars in PE!!? If so how how do I do this?
Thank you,

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running?
1. With the Safety Margins on in the Edit area monitor and the video clip selected, scale the image in the monitor to fit the area of interest.
Scaling can be done by clicking on the monitor to bring up the image's bounding box and then dragging on one of the handles of the bounding
box for the scaling.
Tip: Depending on the specification of your TV, you can alter the Safety Margins in Edit Menu/Project Settings/General targeting
Title Safe Area
Action Safe Area
Also, in Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded, you can uncheck the option Constrain Proportion so that
you can scale width and height separately.
Scaling can also be done by selecting the Timeline clip and then using the Scale Slider found Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Motion
Panel expanded and its Scale property.
Where are you seeing these black border in Premiere Elements....?
When you first drag your import to the Expert workspace Timeline or some place else. If at export, then you (manually) or the project
(automatically) have not set the correct project preset to match the properties of the source media. So, more information on what is
happening here.
Please let me know if I have interpreted your questions correctly. If not, please more details.
Thanks.

QUESTION!

2. How can I get the Projects to stay where I put them in the Library. OK I can tell the latest to Go to the top - so why cannot I say Stay in Title order.

Importing video clips in AVCHD (Lite) into Aperture vs iMovie

I'm trying to figure out which application I should use for importing and storing video clips shot on my Panasonic DMC-ZS7 camera. This camera can shoot in AVCHD (Lite) or in Motion JPEG. I use the AVCHD (Lite) format to shoot the videos with this camera.
The two application options I currently have for importing video clips from this camera are:
a. Aperture 3.5.1 (I'm not using iPhoto since I have Aperture).
b. iMovie 10.0.1 (I'm not using Final Cut Pro)
When I first got this camera, Aperture 3 did not support the AVCHD Lite codec. Back then, iMovie could import video clips shot in AVCHD Lite, but it had to transcode the AVCHD video clips into AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec). Some time later, one of the Aperture 3 updates made it possible to import AVCHD Lite into Aperture (without having to transode into an intermediate codec), so we started importing our video clips shot in AVCHD Lite (together with our photos shot by the same camera) directly into Aperture.
iMovie 10 released in 2013 supports importing video clips shot in AVCHD Lite without having to transode them to AIC for storing these video clips in iMovie. So, now we have a dilemma that we need help with. Which application should we use going forward for importing video clips from this camera?
When I look at the metadata for the imported videos in Aperture, I see that the format of the imported video clips is listed as H.264. However, I can't seem to be able to find any information about the format in which iMovie stores imported videos. I can "Reveal in Finder" a video that I import into iMovie, and I see the size of the file and the .mov extension assigned to the file. With video files, the extension does not always determine the codec of the file, but in my non-expert opinion, the .mov extension is not H.264; I may be totally wrong here, though. What I have noticed, though, is that a video clip imported into iMovie has the file size that is about 10% larger than the same video clip imported into Aperture.
Therefore, I have three questions:
1. What format is a video clip (shot in AVCHD Lite) stored in Aperture 3.5.1 and in iMovie 10.0.1
2. Which format (the one used by Aperture or the one used in iMovie) is better suited for transoding AVCHD videos into? The balance of the quality and file size is the main consideration for us.
3. Which applications would you personally prefer using for importing video clips to and why?
I do want to use some of these video clips to make home videos in the future, utillizing iMovie. However, it seems I can still store the raw footage in Aperture and access this raw footage from iMovie to be able to create an iMovie project and a final home video. One of the concerns is that if we keep importing our video clips into Aperture, the Aperture library could grow beyond the size that Aperture can support and we may end up losing our photos due to the database corruption. Is this a real risk?
Thank you!

I had the same question recently. Go to the right of this box and a little above, into the Search Discussions window. Type in this: Is MPEG2 the answer
You will find my question, and the great answers I got. Follow those directions and you will be all set!

How do you add video clips to an iPhoto slideshow?

I've made a slideshow for my daughter's graduation. I tried to include a couple of video clips in it, but when the slideshow gets to the first one the screen goes black and the video doesn't play. How do I do this the correct way? I use iPhoto '11

Do the video clips play in iPhoto at all?
What theme for the slideshow are you using?
Where are the video clips from?
Are you using any transitions between slides particularly the video clip?
Have you tried putting the video clip in a slideshow by itself and see if it will play?

How do you turn video clips?

I am using iMovie to edit my video clips but I have a clip that is turned sideways. How do I rotate it without using QuickTime Pro (which I don't have)? Is there another option for me? Your help is greatly appreciated.

your options are:
http://www.limit-point.com/Utilities.html#TransformMovie
which is a "standalone app" ...

"rotate"
which is a free plug-in for iM which ... ehm, rotates the clip ..

Can Bridge trim video clips?

I know Bridge can be used to view and rate video clips, but can it also be used to trim video clips down and then export the shortened clips?

Bridge is just a file browser. It doesn't open or edit anything in any form.
It just hands the files to the appropriate application, whether this be Photoshop, Adobe Camera Raw, Illustrator, InDesign, Microsoft Word, or whatever.

4:3 safe margins for 16:9 video?

Hi, its basically what I'm looking for, I can find 16:9 safe margins, but I'm editing 16:9 video footage that will be broadcast 4:3, I was wondering if there was an option somewhere for that?
I'm using CS6, thanks!
Mike

I think that because there are actually some 16:9 sources that aren't square pixels ( 1440x1080 vs 1920x1080 ? )
http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/general-hd-720-1080-acquisition/86562-1440-x-1080-v-1920-x-108 0-a.html
that a good way to do your safety is actually a psd image with the exact dimensions youre dealing with ..and lines you draw yourself in the psd file for your safety with the right par in the psd file ..Bill Hunt I think has some images like that maybe already made up if he comes around to see this...
You'd have to provide your source material dimensions, par and make sure you got the right project settings.
Basically you'd have 2 safety issues..one for 4:3 broadcast, and another for 4:3 " titles " which is the safety WITHIN the safety...
In other words, if they broadcast your 4:3 stuff analog ( like some public acess etc ) from digital , you will get some " blanking" on the right and left of your frame...which means you need to actually know the safety for THAT within your 4:3 aspect ratio.

HT4589 How do I move video clip clip up or down after setting letterbox, i used to be able to do this until i upgraded to 10.0.6

I used to be able to manually move my video clip up and down in the event the browser using one of the settings. It was a vertical settings that i would use to pull a video clip down after i applied a letterbox to the clip, so I could see the top of the the video clip that got blocked out by the letterbox. Still looking no luck....I used to be able to do this just upgraded to FCPX 10.0.6 now i dont have the setting..

When you move or copy the compound clips with their events into an external drive all the events should be there. Not clear on why you want to move them into a single event. You can drag and drop from one event to another.
Why are you using compound clips? You can simply copy the project from each machine with used media onto the external drive and that should do it.

Imovie on my ipad ...refuses to recognize AVCHD Video. Also when i remove video clips already used in a project, it is unable to recognize missing clips after I've put them back. How do I get around these 2 issues?

My iMovie refuses to recognize, import, or work with AVCHD Video. It also refuses the same video clips even after I have converted them to Mp4. Also, when I delete a video clip already used in a project, then later import the same clip back to my ipad, the software is unable to recognize and find the clip again! Help! How do I get around these issues?

Hi Craig,
I also got the second problem. The storyboard on iMovie trailer has all these missing videos. If I import them on my iPad it doesn't find them.
If you find a solution it would be much appreciated to share it here ... I'll do the same.
Thanks,
Rafael

You can plug the iPod into the same iTunes library as your iPod Touch and sync whatever content you like to it. There is no limilt to the number of iPads, iPhones, or iPods you can sync with one iTunes library, account, or computer. How you sync one device will not affect the syncing preferences of the other.

Is there a way to speed up or slow down video clips in iMovie using the iPad?

Is there a way to speed up or slow down video clips using iMovie on the iPad? I do not have an Apple computer...just the iPad.

No.
There are other apps that can to time shifting, or speed effects.
iMovie cannot.
