Video appears stretched outside of program and pixilated images

I am using Final Cut Express for the first time and am trying to make a slideshow. Everything displays nicely in the program, however when I export it to quicktime and play it on the computer in quicktime, everything is stretched including the generated text, still images, and the few video clips I used. When I burn it to a disk and play it on the tv, it is also stretched horizontly. I was able to solve this problem by opening up the exported version in iMovie, and saving it again and then burning it to DVD, but I know there must be some setting that I am missing in Final Cut. Please help.
Also, the pictures display quite pixilated on the tv screen. I am using full sized jpeg files. Any setting changes I need to make on those to make them more clear?
Thank you.

What I am most concerned about is the still image quality. The still images are taken with a Canon 20D. I initially exported them from Lightroom as full sized jpegs. But I have now tried exporting them as 720x480 and 720x540. I export them into a folder, then tell FCE to import them and then drag and drop into the timeline. I have not adjusted any of the program settings.
The video is taken with the Minolta (a stills camera that will shoot video clips), I don't use it much, and am not as concerned about the quality there. Sometime down the road I would like to invest in an actual video camera. At this point I am making slideshows with a few video clips tossed in. After importing the video, it was smaller than full screen so I manually enlarged it, which is why it is now the larger 720x480, but I bet it originaly came in at 640x480 at 30fps.
I did have the slideshow completed, rendered it and played it on the computer in quicktime and burned it to dvd. In FCE the aspect ratio displayed normal, in quicktime and on DVD the images were stretched horizontly. In all programs, the images appear pixelated and seem to be of very poor quality even though the original images are all very sharp.
Prior to this I used iMovie and have not had any problems. FCE has for some reason proved to be more complicated than I was expecting.

Input video appears stretched when imported to Premiere Pro CS6

I'm on a beginner level on Premiere Pro so please be gentle if this question is very basic. I'm trying to make a video that preserves the input video resolution exactly. My input video was an MP4 movie with resolution 1440 x 1080. It's an iPad screen recording using X-Mirage software. When I opened it normally in quicktime, it didn't seem stretched. However, when I imported the clip into Premiere, the clip appeared stretched. I checked the Properties of the clip and it turned out to have Pixel Aspect Ratio of 1.3333, which meant the pixels were stretched. My output sequence was also stretched out because of this, even though the output indicated that the resolution is the same: 1440 x 1080. I tried to comply with "Clip Mismatch Warning" and the result was still a stretched version. Please help!

Hi,
In premiere pro, you will see sequence on the top. Click on sequence and from the drop down select sequence settings. Under sequence settings there would be a tab of pixel aspect ratio. Try and change it to d1/dv ntsc widescreen 16:9 or hd anamorphic.
Check if it makes any difference.
Thank You

I would be glad for the opportunity to customize a Premiere Elements 12 answer to your Premiere Elements 12 issue.
But, I want to make sure that we are together on the details. This is my understanding of what you have written. Please review and let me
know if I am misinterpreting anything that you have written.
You have a video created in Windows Movie Maker.
How did you output the video from Windows Movie Maker...wmv or mp4, what was the frame size and frame rate of that export?
Next you import that video into Premiere Elements 12 (can we assume that this is on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit?)
From what you wrote, you have applied a pan and zoom effect to your video in Premiere Elements.
Now you go to export the Premiere Elements 12 Timeline content with your video with the pan and zoom applied.
But, the pan and zoom effect is not seen in playback of the export.
Is all of the above correct so far?
If so....we are going to need some more details from you...
a. What is the project preset that you or the project are setting to match the properties of the video coming from Movie maker? See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Rate, and Pixel Aspect Ratio even if the fields look grayed out.
b. Are you applying the pan and zoom effect with the Pan and Zoom Tool, fx Effects Presets, or keyframing the Scale (for Zoom) and
Position (for Pan) in the Motion Panel expanded?
c. What are you selecting as your export in Publish+Share/. Please give details...are you using default settings or customizing the export
setting under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab of the preset selected?
I am suspecting some sort of mismatch of your project settings or some problems with working with the Pan and Zoom tool. I need
your answers to help me help you. If I have written anything that you do not understand, please let me know. I will re-write if necessary
so that we are in sync to resolve the issue.
Thanks.

Some video appears currupted in windows 7 and cant be played!!.

Hello, I was watching videos on my laptop normally but suddenly most videos appeared corrupted and won't open, I cant play them any more. I've formatted my computer but sadly they are still corrupted please help me what the hell happened to those files????I've
tried an anti-malware software but it didn't found anything...

So when you play them after exporting in QT and do get info what are the codecs and bitrates?
If you want to have life easier use MPEG Streamclip, open, select export to MPEG-4 and pick a preset from the iTunes button and you will be happy. And it also does batches and you may find it is also faster.
And it is free.

Trying to uninstall CS5.5 Master Collection, but programs don't appear in standard Windows Programs and Features location

I'm uninstalling CS5.5 after deactivation in order to gain space for CC, but am having problems doing so. I'm on 64-bit Windows 7 and installed from the Master Collection disks on both my desktop and laptop - neither one has any of the Master Collection programs showing up in the standard uninstall location, which is the only recommended Adobe uninstall method.
If I run the original install disk, it recognises the existing CS5.5 programs, but only gives the option of installing further program options rather than uninstalling existing ones - is there any way to use the disks to uninstall programs?

Fixed it - used the disk to reinstall one of the existing CS5.5 apps, and then the Adobe Master Collection showed up as an item in the Programs and Features location, which I could select and uninstall all apps.

Bold lines appear around outside right edge and bottom of some pages.

Several pages now have bold lines around outside right edge, bottom and center of document. This bold line is also in center between pages in spread. None of the pages are showing automatic page numbers, and when I try and export to pdf, the pdf is blank. What have I done to create these bold lines? Why are pages not showing? Why does pdf appear blank?

Video appears stretched.

I've burned several copies using both the 4X3 and 16x9 format and all the videos look fine when played on my computer, but once I put them into my portable dvd player (which I will be hooking up to an LCD projector, at my daughter's wedding reception) or play on our widescreen tv., the bride and groom each look stretched out and as though they've gained 20 pounds. I edited the video using both iMovie HD and iMovie 09, which I then sent into FCE and exported back into IM/HD. Using im09 was the only way I could figure out how to do some closeups of each of them.
I even tried exporting out to tape and then re-importing. But still no luck. They're STRETCHED.
Could the problem be my player or our widescreen t.v?
Thanks for you help, I don't have much time before their big day.

Yes.
You didn't post enough specifics but I know that widescreen TV's have several different settings for aspect ratio because some channels still broadcast in 4:3 and people don't want to see the left/right black bars... in that case, it stretches horizontally to fit.
Also, DVD players have similar settings for 4:3 with and without black bars as well as a 16:9 setting.
Not knowing your situation, try to find those settings on your TV & DVD player and figure out the combination that works.

5.0 and 6.0 became entngle, and neithr will start. How can I remove all traces of Firefox and do a "clean" reinstall? Mozilla dosn't appear in Add/Remove Programs, and the uninstaller must've left something behind...

I tried deleting the Firefox folder as well, but after reinstalling Firefox 6.0, I continue to get a Run error message saying essentially that 5.0 & 6.0 aren't compatible. So, how can I remove all versions from all locations and start fresh?

Question about Licences and Stock Images

My school is having a tshirt design contest. In the design that they like, the tshirt uses a royalty free stock image. I took that image (of a grunge frame) off the website for 1 credit (free with a new account) and manipulated it to fit the tshirt design with a whole bunch of other elements. The problem is that the licence I got from them is not the extended one that allows resale with products. The cost of being able to do this is 100 credits, or $88. No way is the school going to do that.
The image is stretched, parts are removed, and another image is screened on top, making only really the outline show up. Also, I increased the size to the point of it being all pixely before throwing it in to a paint stroke filter. Would there be issues if the school sold this tshirt without the extended license, even if I changed the image? I don't want to be liable for anything!

For what I think you are referring to, I often create my own "grunge" frame.
While I have three sets of "frames," I often find that I need something "close," but "different." Though my commercial sets are "Royalty Free," I seldom use them, as I bought them.
I have also created some, that were similar, say a Polaroid-type frame, by scanning an actual Polaroid. Lots of ways to create something, that really fits the bill.
As for # 50,000, I will try to make it worthwhile...
Good luck,
Hunt

I cannot open my firefox broswer. The message box appeared that said a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. Under that there are debug and close program buttons.

I transferred video from iPhone (4S) to iPhoto and then to iMovie9. Footage in iMovie is stretched. Is there a way to fix that?

I transferred video from iPhone (4S) to iPhoto and then dropped that footage into iMovie9. The footage is there in iMovie but it is stretched. I have tried to adjust using aspect ratio options but that doesn't work. Is there a way to fix that in iMovie (or at any other point in the process)?

It shouldn't be this way. Did you shoot the video in portrait or landscape mode? Many people shoot in portrait mode because they typically hold the phone upright. This is really shouldn't happen if the videos are shot in landscape mode.

HT5548 I upgraded one of my programs and now the old and new both appear on launch pad, and I can't delete the old one. Is there a way I can do that?

I upgraded one of my programs and now the icons for both old and new appear on the launch pad. I don't need or want the old version to display, as it's been imported into the new one. I can't seem to figure out how to edit it off the launch pad.

Hi there,
More then likely, the old version was installed independently from the App Store. The article below goes over the process for removing these application.
OS X Lion: Install, update, and uninstall apps
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph4524
To uninstall other apps, drag the app to the Trash (the Trash is located at the end of the Dock), and then choose Finder > Empty Trash.If you change your mind, before emptying the Trash, select the app in the Trash, and then choose File > Put Back.Warning: When you empty the Trash, the app is permanently removed from your computer. If you have any files that you created with the app, you may not be able to open them.
Hope that helps,

Please help. When exporting a 720p video using Quicktime Conversion in FCP it saves some extra temporary files to my computer. The file is called ICMMultiPassStorage. This file gets so large that eventually the program and exporting process crashes.

Please help. When exporting a 720p video using Quicktime Conversion in FCP it saves some extra temporary files to my computer. The temporary file it saves is called ICMMultiPassStorage. This file gets so large that eventually the program and exporting process crashes. I have been able to locate the file using GrandPerspective and close out of FCP to delete it. But when I try exporting the movie again it creates the ICMMultiPassStorage file again. I have made sure my scratch disks are set to my external hard drive so I know that isn't the issue. How do I fix this problem so these temporary files are not being stored on my internal hard drive instead of my external?Thanks!

Try exporting the timeline "using current settings" via Make QuickTime Movie, then submit that clip to Compressor for the transcode. This should be faster and less painful.
