Vertical Black Bars On Composition During Export

Once finished with my composition, which contained several layers, I began the export process...only to find vertical black bars on each side of the composition. My project was set-up as 1080p. I read that changing it to 720p would resolve the issue. However, once I did that, all of my layers are now HUGE on the composition.  Any help would be great!  Thanks!

Just pick a standard 1080 P square pixel comp size and frame rate from the Presets in comp settings, then render using a 1080P preset in the AME. Here's my most common preset:

    Take it in for service. Your screen probably needs to be replaced.

  • 2 Vertical Black Bars Across Screen...

    Anyone know about or experienced vertical black bars (2) across the monitor after returning from sleep or standby mode?
    I'm just worried my computer will crap out on me when it's most inconvenient so I'm trying to guage what computer problems/elderly computer symptoms I'll be dealing with in it's decline. It's only from 2009, but it's heavily used and has lots of graphic design and media software on it.
    Note: The SD card recently stopped working, and the Genius bar determined it was a mechanical failure. Also, the CD burn hasn't been working for a while.
    Using a Macbook pro os x, leopard, purchased 2009.

    It only happens for a split second, and before/while the computer is waking up so when I try to take a screen shot, it doesn't work because it's not fully on yet. However, I will take a pic with some other device so I do have a picture of it. And I FOR SURE have all my data backed up plus on a flash.
    Thanks for the advice.

  • Why does interlaced video have vertical black bars?

    Despite looking all over the internet and asking video editors I know, I've never yet found a satisfactory answer to this question:
    When I bring DV PAL footage into my Mac, why are there always very thin black vertical bars on each side?  And why is the image being squeezed slightly?
    I think it may have something to do with interlacing.
    If you look at my screenshot here.
    You can see that the top image (QuickTime 7 Player) exhibits the issue I'm talking about (the prescene of combing on the man shows this is interlaced).
    But the black bars have disappeared in the bottom image (QuickTIme Player X) - and you can see that it looks slightly horizontally stretched by comparison. I'm guessing this is something to do with the fact that QuickTime Player X DE-interlaces video.
    The question remains though... what is it about interlacing that introduces black bars and an incorrect aspect ratio??

    If you are ripping "standard" format content (4x3 ratio) then it will just appear like that on a widescreen TV. You shouldn't have that problem if you're ripping widescreen content (16x9 ratio).

  • Black bars on sides after exporting

    I recently downloaded the trial version of Premiere Pro CC which I have never before. When exporting, my project has black bars on both sides and I'm not sure how to fix it. I know little about editing so I'm not sure how to fix this problem. I've tried multiple export setting and in each preview I see the black bars as well. Any help would be greaty appreciated. Thanks!                                      

    Your photo of the Sequence Settings tells only part of the story. The other parts:
    your media: with a clip selected in the Project panel, go to the Info panel and report the frame dimensions.
    your export settings: go File>Export>Media and post a screengrab of the Export Settings dialog with the Video tab visible. [btw, a screengrab will be easier for us to read than a photo of your screen...]
    Since your source is NTSC DV (720x480 pixels at 0.9091 pixel aspect ratio), you should ideally pick an output preset that matches. For example, h.264/NTSC DV. [If you tell us how you plan to distribute the video, we can give more directed advice on which format to use.]

  • Vertical black line artifact on JPEG exports

    Tried to export 57 images to original sized JPEGS. Images were shot RAW on a Nikon D80. My problem is that some of the photos were exported with a thin black line down the middle of the image. Strangely, this only happened to my photos that were shot in portrait orientation. This line is not there in the RAW files, or in the Aperture previews. I also exported one of these images to Photoshop CS3 for editing and the vertical black line appeared in that conversion as well. Does anyone have any idea what's going on or how to fix it?
    Example here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1375121/black_line.jpg
    I am running Aperture 3.0 and OSX 10.6.2 on a MBP 2.16 C2D with 2GB RAM. Aperture runs slowly, but otherwise seems to be working fine (except for the occasional green screen freakout when I'm using a brush).
    Thanks so much,

    Yes, the images in question definitely have Noise Reduction. I think I set the value over 1.6. So there's no solution? That's incredibly frustrating.
    We only have to wait for a new release!!
    I have also noticed that the Noise Reduction seems not to be applied to the exported version, at least not in the same way as it is applied to the master image. Have you noticed this?

  • Why is there a vertical scroll bar with short page export from FW CS4?

    When I view my exported page that is 400 pixels tall, I see a vertical scroll bar on the right of my IE7 browser even though the page is no where near the bottom of the browser.  How do I eliminate that scroll bar?

    Unfortunately this is not working in IE7.  Below is my body tag (I edited the SLICES.XTT to prevent the margins) where I've added the overflow option:
    body </style>
    But I still see the vertical scroll bar with a 400 px image exported as html, see attachments.

  • Vertical Black Bars

    Hi,
    Not sure whether this is the right forum but here goes: -
    I am experiencing a problem playing back widescreen DVDs in Windows Media Player 11.
    The video does extend the full width of the screen. Instead it has black bars either side.
    The file properties (in WMP) say it is 4:3 (hence the black bars). I know this NOT to be the case and it plays fine in WMP on another computer.
    16:9 video files (mpeg2) play fine and are identified correctly.
    Ati Radeon X1600SE (see https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=103427.0)

    Using 8.28 supplied by HP (their latest).
    Tried latest from ATI but had an issue, see https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=103427.0 (this link also has my current video card info).
    Not sure what codec WMP is using as it is not listed when I show file properties when playing.
    If I play an MPG file generated from ulead videostudio it displays ok (16:9) and WPM uses a cyberlink decoder.
    When I burn this file to DVD with added menus i get the issue, but also with retail widescreen DVDs

  • Widescreen has black bars top and bottom

    Imported a widescreen DV file into FCP5, rendered it, looks widescreen in the canvas but has black bars which are always exported. But I want to end up with a DVD that is full screen/widescreen when viewed on a widescreen TV or LCD monitor. How to get that and get rid of black bars?

    In the menu bar: go to Final Cut Pro > Easy Setup. Choose DV-NTSC Anamorphic. Click OK.
    Go to Sequence > Settings > Load Sequence Preset and click OK.
    Right click your clip in the Browser and choose Item Properties > Format. Click next to Anamorphic in the clip column to place a checkmark. Click OK.

  • 16:9 editing (black bars)

    I have a Final Cut project which I have assembled from .mov video clips. The clips are 16:9 (640x360), but when I render them they show up in the canvas with black bars above and below, even though I have the sequence settings set to 640x360. When I export I get a video in 2:1 aspect ratio with black bars.
    What import/export & sequence settings ought I be using in order to work with 640x360 .mov files without getting any black bars? Is this possible?

    Please take screenshots and show us the exact item properties of the clips you'r editing and the sequence in which you're editing.

  • Premiere Elements 7: share/export DV-PAL in FLV/QT/WMV, black bars on top/bottom

    During export (step "share", export for "PC" - sorry, if I use some wrong terms, got a german interface) of only DV-PAL video to FLV/QT/WMV there are always black bars on top/bottom of the video and the picture is wrong in aspect ratio. I can't help.
    I tried different resolutions (original 720x576, 502x402, 320x240) and, as only possible with QT/WMV, different pixel aspect ratios (PARs), even user-defined PARs and 'wrong' aspect ratios (like 512x402). No chance. (I think precise user-defined data like "1,094" is not possible, because results did not change anyhow and this value is shown as "1".) With e.g. QT, 640x512, PAR 1,067 there are black bars with 6 px each.
    My project settings must be correct I think: DV-PAL, 720x576, 4:3, 25 fps.
    DV-PAL- and MPEG-Export/Share is no problem.
    As a workaround I export DV-PAL and convert with XMediaRecode to FLV. But I want direct and clean export with PrEl. That's what I bought it for recently.
    I wonder why there are only NTSC-setting suggested in FLV-share. I have to change the size by myself.
    And I wonder why Wikipedia says PAR for DV-PAL is "1,0940" and Premiere says "1,067".
    I'm new to Premiere Elements 7 (although I got some experience with Premiere 5/6.5, FinalCut, Cinelerra ...) using Windows XP.

    I posted two videos on muvipix.com:
    WMV cable modem settings PrEl (without audio, fps like original)
    Strange: in VLC media player there are bars on the left and right (and slight faded bars on top/bottom - hope you can see) and in muvipix.com and Media Player Classic there are bars at top/bottom

    I had to deactivate sound because this is Creative Commons stuff and I don't want to give credits. And I changed fps to "like original" because 30 fps as standard in PrEl is wrong. It's PAL here.
    Thanks for your efforts.

  • PAR causing vertical letterboxing (black bars)

    I recorded in HDV PAL, now I am trying to export to SD PAL (720x576)...
    I have exported using the Media Encoder and I get black bars on the sides (e.g. vertical letterboxing).
    I did a bit of research and I see that this is due to the corrected Pixel Aspect Ratios of CS4.
    I am told on other forums that the overscan of a telelvision will not show these bars, however I preparing my video for DVD, but I am going to be making digital versions for online use...
    Thats a problem, as I don't want to see the black bars at all.
    So I need to know if I can correct this mis-match in PAR's, or if I am stuck with it from now on with CS4...??

  • 320x240 QT export produces black bars on right and left

    Ok, this one is strange. So far, it only appears to affect 320x240 targets from sources that don't have square pixels. Starting with a 720x480 DV movie (even if I change the properties to display 640x480), I export directly to 320x240 and I get a movie with black bars down the right and left. I did not tell QT to letterbox or scale, although telling it to scale does no help.
    The problem seems to be in the meta data. If I go to the movie's visual properties and change the move dimensions to 324x240 (with preserve aspect ratio unchecked), then the black bars disappear. When I change it back to 320x240, they are still gone and the movie plays fine. I save it and reopen it, and the black bars are back! The same thing happens exporting from Final Cut Pro using Quicktime conversion. This is definitely a bug.
    The work around is to export to another 4:3 format with square pixels first and export that to 320x240.
    On a related note, the same thing happens when I record a movie in Quicktime at 320x240. I get a recording with black bars down the sides.
    This has never happened to me before. I'm a professional QT software developer and a content producer. I've been using Quicktime Pro for a decade, at least. I've been over all of the export settings, and I've deleted all of my Quicktime preference files.
    Is there a way to report a bug to Apple?

    Regarding: "there's a pretty good chance that your playback target isn't Quicktime Player"...
    My assumption is that if your material is 320x240, it's probably that size because you're planning to either display it on a small-screen device, send it to a TV set, embed it in a presentation, or deliver it via the Web. In any of those cases, your final delivery target isn't QuickTime Player, but rather some other mode, such as the QuickTime web plug-in, iPod, AppleTV, or even some other option. In which case the strangeness with the player doesn't seem so strange.
    As a workaround, you could layer your 320x240 movie with at 350x240 grey rectangle on the layer behind. That would fix it in QuickTime Player, but it would cause grey bars on either side if you embed into a web page or something like that.

  • Aspect ratio: 4:3 material being exported with black bars (on the sides!)

    Hi all
    I'm fairly new to using FinalCut Express: previously I've used other non-linear video editors on Windows.
    I'm having a bit of a weird problem: I've got a sequence which was shot entirely in 4:3 (PAL). However, when I try to export that to a QuickTime movie it appears squashed from either side — black bars appear at the sides of the frame and everyone looks very tall and thin. The frame itself is still 4:3 but everything is being squashed to fit in the bars.
    I've fiddled with as many settings as are immediately obvious to me to see if I can rectify this, but so far no banana: the sequence is about 90 minutes long and takes about 30 minutes to render each time when exporting.
    Has anyone got any ideas what to do about this? I've been trying to do some research into how FCP/FCE handle different aspect ratios, and it seems to be a very complicated topic. In fact, in the same project I've got a sequence which contains almost entirely 16:9 anamorphic material. Ideally I'd like this to be output in a 16:9 frame with the few 4:3 clips appearing with bars on the side. However, it's only being output as 4:3 where the 4:3 clips appear full-frame and the 16:9 clips have bars at top and bottom...
    Hope someone can help!

    Tom, thanks for the reply.
    Everything looks absolutely fine when played back in FCE; it's only when exporting to QuickTime that my problems start. The point is that this 4:3 sequence isn't being output into a 16:9 frame as a pillarbox: what's actually happening is that it's being put into a 4:3 frame with bars, with the result that the content is in fact being squeezed (it looks wrong).
    How can you modify the aspect-ratio settings for a given sequence? I've looked through all the obvious sequence properties settings but have never found anything.
    I'll just reiterate — it plays back fine within the viewer; only when output does it all go awry.

  • Black bars alongside video+squished aspect ratio on export

    I'm trying to get my import/export settings right--I keep getting black bars and a squished or stretched image when my videos export.  Since Elements doesn't read MOD I've been using miro to convert, which doesn't like to export to mp4 all that well to begin with (which furthers my diagnosis problems.)  I don't know anything about video image->pixel size (nor can I find anything online that makes sense to me) and canon's website doesn't tell me what my camera is shooting in in those terms, but I've been using the widescreen format--what is that size??  I'm not sure if this problem is because of defaulting project settings on import (Elements not picking up on the proper format and defaulting to something else), an exporting problem (I've tried all the different settings under publish+share>computer>mpeg4 and quicktime>NTSC DVD standard and widescreen, as well as every other export option I can think of), or a conversion problem (why doesn't Elements accept MOD to begin with?  Final Cut 7 does no problem!)  Everything looks good in the editing process, plays fine etc. 
    Is this a simple fix?  The videos play fine in quicktime, but VLC catches the bars, which makes me think it's a simple solution to a complex diagnosis.  Please help, thanks.

    Thanks for the update.
    Let us look into the following next, one problem down (the aspect ratio), next the quality of playback of your Timeline as seen in the Edit Mode Monitor.
    1. Given that you are working with .mod widescreen 16:9.
    a. Open a new Premiere Elements 11 Mac project. Go to File Menu/New/Project and set the project preset yourself in the new project dialog. You want NTSC DV Widescreen. Make sure that you have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on this Project" before you exit the new project dialog.
    b. Once back in the Premiere Elements workspace, go to Add Media/Files and Folders and import your mod.widescreen into Project Assets.
    c. Right click the .mod widescreen file in Project Assets, select Interpret Footage, and, in the Interpret Footage dialog, dot the Conform to: and set that to DV/DV NTSC Widescreen 16:9 (1.2121).
    d. Drag your .mod widescreen to the Timeline from Project Assets. Do you see no colored line over the content, an orange line, or a green line? If an orange line, render the Timeline with the Render button or pressing the Enter Key of the computer main keyboard. Is the .mod widescreen now display the same, worse, or better than before we started all this?
    Also, right click the monitor, select Playback Quality, and see if there is any difference in what you are seeing if you use Highest instead of Automatic as the set. Also check to see if Magnification there is "Fit" rather than other.
    Is your video card driver up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the video card?
    Please review the above and let us know the outcome.
    Thanks.

    Although conversion .mod widescreen to another format is always a consideration, it has not been found to be necessary in essentially most cases. Classically, if an import problem with this type of file, the renaming of the .mod file extension to .mpg prior to import took care that while Interpret Footage took care of the aspect ratio issue.
    I just saw your note about MPEG Streamclip. That works great for Windows for conversion to DV AVI. Never tried it for a .mov export for Mac. But remember there is an option for 4:3 or 16:9 in that dialog (or there should be...I will take a look if you do not find it). So no distortion expected since MPEG Streamclip should be supplying that problematic 16:9 flag.

Maybe you are looking for
