Why CNN video looks out of proportion in a iMac 27"?

Since I bought my new iMac 27" a month ago, the videos that I watch in CNN they look "bigger. In my old 24" iMac they look just fine. Does it have something to do with the screen resolution? Or it might be the that CNN it doesn't support the much resolution?
Any ideas?

Hello Linc,
The reason I want to place my jpeg files outside of my own home directory/pictures folder, is because I want them to be available to all users who log into my iMac.
I found the solution.
What I did was create a new directory called "Images" at the root level of my filesystem and copied the jpeg files into this directory. From here, Snow Leopard sees the image files as being non Apple authentic image files and consequently, when I select a image file to be my desktop picture, I get the "layout selection menu" which is what I need in order to adjust the picture display setting so that it will show up properly on the desktop.
Problem solved.

    Any way around this or is this something apple needs to fix?

    OK, videos!

    Have you tried using Quicktime Player 7?
    Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded.

    Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
    Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".

  • Why does video drop out using hdmi adapter?

    Hello, the video and audio from my iPad 2 using the HDMI adapter drops out intermittently  (actually quite a bit, like every 30 seconds or so)
    when I hook it to my TV. Anyone have any solutions?

    Thank you Menneisyys, but the Kanex adapter is a 3rd party dongle that plugs into the hdmi port and splits the audio onto a female 1/8 and the video to VGA (for then connecting to a projector).  So I'm (rightly?) assuming it is sufficient quality for the task (unless my particular Kanex is a lemon -- which is really my question: is the problem the Kanex or the Apple TV? I have reinstalled (restored to factory settings) the OS on my ATV but that didn't help :(

  • Video looks darker in iMovie.

    I've been working with iMovie for some years already. I have never been able to figure out why the videos look darker in iMovie than they look in the camcorder.
    I use a Sony HandycamDCR-PC101-NTSC (DV). The difference between the LCD on the camcorder and what I'm getting while/after the movie is imported is pretty obvious. Then, when the final movie comes out of iDVD looks darker specially in those already dark-low light scenes. Is there anything that I can do. Please. Thanks

    Hi G
    1. The LCD-screen on my Camera can be set brigth <-> dark with buttons
    I set it in middle value (setting)
    2. On the menu in my Camera I can set extra bright LCD-screen (for out doors
    and in Sun)
    3. iMovie: Brightnes & Contrast - are very crude. Nearly useless.
    If Your movie is of importance - looking into/testing or even buying
    FinalCut Express (or Pro) gives very much better tools to adjust the image
    - BUT - To a cost and a rather steap learning curve.
    (I use it - mainly when I need to Contrast/Brightness, Color correct and
    when the image is in need of slight rotation (can do any angel).

  • Why does my Gopro black 3+ video look so bad on PRE11 while editing & after DVD creation playback.

    Well let start with.  When I do a project with video from my Samsung S4 phone or my IPhone 5 or my Canon T4i  looks great on computer screen and when I play back a burned DVD or AVHCD.  I just directly import from file on my hard drive.  My Samsung is at 1920x1040 30fps mp4 .  I believe the IPhone is a 1920x1080 MOV format.
    It is the GoPro video that  PRE11 has a problem with.  I record at 1920x1080 30fps.  Nothing special.
    First the computer screen.  On both of my computers when I right click on the playback screen.
    Quality Highest; Magnification Fit; Safe Margin unchecked; Playback External device None; Aspect Hardware; Desktop Audio; 24Progresive Conversion Interlaced 2332; Export External Device DV 29.97 720; Checked Disable video output.
    As for Publish.  DVD I use preset NTSC widescreen dvd; AVCHD h264 1920x1080I ntsc.
    Any other ideas why the GoPro video looks bad on computer screen & on dvd on hd tv.
    Some say you first must convert GoPro mp4 to AVI then import.  That seems crazy.  Why can Samsung mp4 work great and GoPro mp4 not.
    It seems that Adobe has not correctly written code for MP4 from on of the largest camcorder producers.

    Thank you for starting your own new thread on your Premiere Elements workflow after initially posting in the thread of another.
    Adobe Premiere Elements 13 Latest Developments
    For your convenience, this is a copy of my reply to you in that thread which was left unanswered
    johng1234321
    Thank you for the reply. What I was looking for mostly are the properties of the 1920 x 1080p30 GoPro3+ Black footage that you are trying to use in
    Premiere Elements 11. Are you working with the H.264.mp4 format or are you working with a Cineform.avi format? If it is the H.264.mp4 format, I am not seeing why you should be doing anything else but importing the H.264.mp4 into Premiere Elements 11 using the project preset set by you manually or the project automatically. Best you set the project preset manually to assure the correct project preset in this case.
    NTSC
    DSLR
    1080p
    DSLR 1080p30@ 29.97
    There are times when the project does not interpret correctly the properties of the video when it is the first file dragged to the Timeline. When it does not do it correctly, it does not give you the closest possible fit between project preset and properties of source media, instead it gives you its default 1080i which is not appropriate for your 1080p footage.

    To get a better perspective on your comparison between your cell phone and GoPro results....are you saying that you can take the videos from the cell phones and import them into Premiere Elements 11 without issue, audio out of sync or other? Are you converting the cell phone video at any time - to change a variable to constant frame size or other?
    Depending on your details, I would offer to look at a sample of your specific H.264.mp4 file for which you cannot get a decent DVD-VIDEO on DVD or AVCHD format on DVD disc. If you opt to do this, you might consider sending the sample via a Dropbox link posted in this thread. I am concerned that your GoPro issue on Premiere Elements 11 is going to get lost in this thread on a different topic. If we do not gain ground on the issue soon, please consider starting a new thread on your issue so that the details and especially the results will be found more easily by those users seeking answers for the type of problem that you describe.
    The answers will be in the details.
    Thanks for the follow ups.

  • Why do my audio and video get out of synch?

    No matter what sort of video I'm trying to play: Youtube, a movie on DVD, a movie on an external hard drive, etc, after a short time the audio and video get out of synch with each other.  This is often, though not always, signaled by a short audio phrase being repeated (eg: "I don't know, Scully, how about you? about you?").  I can solve the problem by quitting the app and starting it back up but it will eventually screw up again.
    I'm using a MacBook running OS 10.6.8 with a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory.

    MASMAS
    The first thing that we need to know are the properties of what you are putting on the Timeline. What works in another software does not necessarily work in Premiere Elements. Each program has its own supported formats.
    a. What is the file extension for this file? .MOV or .MP4?
    b. Does the iPad describe it as 1080p or 720p?
    c. If you open Premiere Elements 12 and go to Edit Menu/Project Settings/General, what do you see for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio, even if those field appear to be grayed out.
    Two immediate troubleshooting avenues are going to be in the direction of...
    a. Project settings not set up to match the properties of the source from the iPad. Then we would start a new project and set the project setting manually before importing your video. Details for manually setting the project preset are in the following.
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
    b. The iPad video being recorded with a variable frame rate instead of a constant one...the remedy then would probably be to take your video in a program like HandBrake to change the variable to a constant frame rate. And after that, import the corrected video into the Premiere Elements project which has the correct project preset (preferably set manual to assure the correct result).
    Please see what you can put together in the way of video details, and we will sort this out.
    Thanks.

  • Why can't I open CNN videos? I can using Internet Explorer.

    When I visit CNN' s website using Firefox I can't open video. If I go back to Internet Explorer I can opn CNN videos with no problem.

    If you use extensions like <i>Adblock Plus</i> or <i>NoScript</i> or <i>Flash Block</i> that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Why do videos and photos look grainy in my iPad

    If I take photo or video on my iPad 3 the video looks grainy and horrible. How can I fix this?

    As iCrizzo said, more light will substantially improve the photos and videos.  Keep in mind the cameras in the iPad are very small.  they do not have high resolution or a lot of light-gathering capability.  The more light you can provide, for example doing facetime in a well lit room, will be helpful.

  • Why does my video look a wee bit fuzzy?

    Hello! I just edited up some highlight clips of the Paramus vs Hackensack (for you NJ people!) football game from last night in Premiere Elements 4. It looks great on my computer (filmed with a Canon GL2), but when I put it online, it was fuzzier than I had anticipated:
    http://www.rivals.com/uploads/1123/692780.wmv
    Here is how I saved it:
    1) I created the clips in Adobe Premier Elements.
    2) I used the "share" feature.
    3) From there I put it on the "Windows Media" option, as the Flash option has never worked for me.
    4) I saves it.
    Any ideas?

    Well, do note that a WMV file is only about 1/4 the resolution of your original video, so there's going to be a lot less clarity. Also, WMV files, because they're made for streaming online, are compressed -- which means that scenes of lots of action (such as a football game) are more challenging to produce than scenes of static images.
    But, having not seen the original footage, I think your video looks pretty good for online video!

  • Why is my video exporting out of sync with the audio?

    Every time I export it (and it takes some 2 hours just to export a draft version) the video is sped up, but the audio isn't, so that the video is out of sync and at the end there's just black space with the end of the audio.
    Both the video footage and the composition have the same frame rate (24p). I am exporting with Render Settings set to DV settings and output module set to Quicktime DV NTSC 48kHz
    When I edit it I've been timing it to the seconds and frames because it's such a large file that I can barely RAM preview 5 seconds of it, and so it's especially frustrating that it's completely off when it exports.
    Has this ever happened to anyone here?

    Ahhh, right.
    I'm using After Effects CS5.
    The footage I'm using is in .mov format, although to be honest I'm not sure about the codec  (I imported it straight to After Effects from my Canon 7D's memory card? I think it's H.264)
    I also have some PNG sequences.
    I used the AE Render Queue.

  • Audio Follows Video greyed out

    I am working with a sequence that uses clips that were shot DVC Pro 720p 30, NTSC. Suddenly, when looking at interview content in the canvas and viewer, the sync for content from a particular reel is slightly off. I noticed under the view menu / audio playback, audio follows video is greyed out. The only options are default or built in output. At first I thought that was the proglem (can anyone tell me why it is greyed out, and if I need to select this somehow?)
    Interestingly, however, other clips in the project, shot on the same day, do not appear to have the same sync problem. What would cause the sync problem on this one reel? I did not notice the sync problem when previously working with the material.
    Thank you so much in advance.

    I seem to remember this happening before with captured material. Can someone answer the question of whether I should switch the sequence settings to the settings that I used to capture the clip originally?
    Or could the clip have been corrupted, and if yes, what to do? Or is the simplest solution to re-sync by eye? It's sort of like when the data flow isn't fast enough and sync is lost.
    Thanks to all for your comments.

  • Why are my pics out of folder order when I sync to my computer

    Can someone please explain why when I sync my iphone 4s the pics on my home computer folder are correct and in order but once
    I sync to my phone they are scrambled?

    Thumbnails always look better because they are smaller and smaller always improves definition. How does the video look when played directly from the camera, say through a TV? I suspect that the video itself is out of focus and you couldn't notice until you blew up the picture.a guess.

  • My YouTube video looks blurry using Adobe Media Encoder

    Im trying to upload a video to YouTube but the video always turns out blurry and pixilated regardless of what settings I use in my Adobe Media Encoder. I shot the video on a Sony 1080i HD camcorder, I know YouTube reduces the quality but I expect my images (ie peoples faces) should still be clear enough to see but that hasnt been the case. I went to the following site for guidance but I still cant get it right.

    I heard sometime ago that YouTube converts everything uploaded to
    Flash or FLV format. I have not used the iPod format for this purpose in CS3 but Rick has obviously found that it works well, however, I would recommend using Adobe Media Encoder to FLV and set it to 320X240 with no more than 1MB/sec bit rate to maximize quality and minimize file size since it's not going to be larger than that on Youtube.
    The FLV raw file will be ecoded using VP6 or Sorenson's older version courtesy of PPro CS3 unfortunatley, but I feel the best codec to use is 264. Why PPro, especially CS3, does not offer this codec is unkown. That could be a reason why Rick's videos look good and that he may have shot them in HD. But then again, HD to 320X240 would seem to be self defeating. iPod format is indeed, believe it or not, 720X480. If you have published anything to the iTunes store, this is a required format which is not optional as it is with Youtube.
