Why is my video getting cropped in imovie?

I didn't notice until watching the dvd on my dvd player but some of the heads are missing and all the film has been cropped, when I went back to imovie I could see the difference in the film from the preview player so it is here that something is going wrong......does anyone now what????

Hi
And this is in an iMovie Project - I guess.
If you analyze on import (or after) and then apply imagestabilization - this is done by cropping the picture and trying to keep picture more stable. Turn off stabilization and it will return to full size. (or adjust the stabilization so that it's not so obvious)

Why did the videos get taken from festival?

Ten days and still no reply. Thanks, Apple. It's companies like you and EA that make me think you guys are only in it for the money. I payed $2.99 for this dn app and no refund. But it doesn't matter anymore because I jailbroke my iPod and got the app back. Looks like you lost a customer.

Vob videos get cropped in Premiere Pro CC upon importing

At importing Vob videos (format 720 x 576) they get cropped to 520 x 576.
I tried with various videos and it happened with all of them.
This seems to be a premiere pro CC bug as it doesn't happen in Premiere Pro CS6, where they import fine.

Thanks for your answer John.
I read the link you posted and I have also posted a bug report.
The cropping happens at the importing, not at the sequence editing or exporting. It is the source video that is cropped when imported.
Although they talk about other video formats this seems to have happened to other customers:

Again, thanks for your answer.

Why do screenshot borders get cropped when they're imported?

Hi, FrameMaker 10 Windows 7, images created in SnagIt 10 and then SnagIt 8.
Hi,
First of all thank you for your great help, especially Van Kurtz! Now I have another problem.
When I take a screenshot, I put a border around it in SnagIt. I import the images in anchored frames, which I've managed to tame. However, the image imports without borders. I use 300dpi and tried reducing to 275, but I can't reduce any more as the company requests that we use 300 and also, the images would be blurry.
After I import, I hold the Shift key drag the border of the image to get it the size I want in the anchored frame (BTW is there any way to do this automatically, as in InDesign?) and there is still no border (and there wasn't one when the image was originally imported).
Why is the border cropped? This usually happens at only one or two sides, not completely, usually the bottom or right sides, and randomly. The image is always well inside the anchored frame.
Thank you so much in advance!
Susan
PS I thought this might be solved when I saved the doc as PDF, but no. And the printed doc is identical to the PDF on the screen.
PSS Is this the fault of the older version of SnagIt (8)? I used SnagIt 10 til my trial ran out and then was forced to switch to 8. It may just be that I didn't notice this problem until recently, but some of my images in the document ARE okay with borders complete.

> The choices are expressed in dpi with inches (or points or picas) in parentheses.
For a bitmap imported as EPS (and, I suspect, PDF), the choice is a percentage, default 100%. FM won't give you any clue about what the originating dpi is, so you have to know, if you care. And the preview image is of no visual help, because it will be a coarse 72 dpi indexed color at 100%.
> NOTE this does NOT change the logical resolution (dpi) of the image, just the physical display size.
Strictly speaking, it does change the dpi. What doesn't change is the overall pixel dimensions. If you import a 1x1inch 100x100 dpi screenshot TIFF at 2x2 inches, it will be 50 dpi (but still 100x100 pixels).
Borders can be applied by Framemaker itself, and they will be vector, and not subject to scaling, aliasing or vanishing at small scales. Applying borders prior to rasterization or in a raster editor often has unhappy results.
Next hurdle: rendering to PDF. Save-as, Print-to or Distill are all subject to the Job Options, which can easily have defaulted to "subsample to really blurry with nasty compression artifacts". Make sure the settings preserve the res you desire for the data structure involved (bitmap, contone gray or contone color). e.g. "downsample to 300 dpi for images above 450 dpi", and LZW or ZIP compression for screenshots, as a rule.

Why does my video get zoomed in when i export to quicktime movies?

my video looks great with final cut
but once I convert it to quicktime it zooms in the image and i loose video on the perimeter so people end up getting cut off
any advice?

Post your question on the Final Cut Studio forum. This is FCPX.

Why does my video get cut off from all angles in the Program: Sequence?

I just made a video, and after exporting it I noticed my whole video was basically trimmed down.
It was trimmed from the top, bottom, left, and right.
Anyone know how to fix this??
It is also trimmed in the Program: Sequence

What do you mean source material?
I took some footage of me playing a video game, and I captured it using a screen-capture software (Fraps).
The imported material was .avi clips
I still can't get it to work guys, ill try and explain everything I did.
1) Open Adobe Premiere Pro CS3.
2)Click new project DV-NTSC Standard 48kHz
3)Import a .avi Movie I captured using Fraps screen recorder
4) Use the Set In point and Set Out point to get what material I want from my movie
5)Drag it onto the timeline
6) Look at my program: sequence 1, and my movie seems to be trimmed from all angles, meaning if you've ever played a first person shooter game, you cannot see the gun I am holding, but in the movie clip that I recorded earlier, you can a see the gun I am holding.
Does this make any sense?

Why does my screen get cropped when using my 30" Dell 3008 WFP with my MacBook Pro 15" Retina?

I'm using a standard HDMI to HDMI connection and it's cropping my screen down (on the dell monitor) by roughly 10 percent or so. It cuts off the whole top File/Command bar as well as the little icons at the bottom...

Lincoln, I tried switchres but without any good results. You mentioned getting an adapter and another hdmi from monoprice earlier but your link didn't work. Any chance you could explain what you meant?
Shootist, whenever I hit the option key down the only change is the "Gather Windows" tab at the bottom right corner of the window changes to "Detect Displays", but neither of them seem to do anything when I click on it... so frustrating.
Also, I have yet to find a "Extended Desktop" option that I hear about on these forums. Still, whenever I deselect the Mirror option, it does produce an extended desktop (even if that expression is curiously never used on my comp) however when i try to change its settings it won't let me go past 1920 by 1200 even though the monitor is supposed to go up to 2560 by 1600 I believe...

Why do 4 video clips import into iMovie and one doesn't?

I attempted to import 5 short clips into my MacBook Pro from the same event, shot with an ipad2. Four of the clips easily imported into iMovie. IMovie said that the fifth clip wouldnt import because it is 'not compatible with iMovie'. All of the clips are 1280x720, H.264/AAC, encoding 7.0.2. Importing to IMovie 11, version 9.0.9. I've read thru some of the strings but haven't quite found this problem. Any ideas?
thank you

I think this is an SD memory card camera. It does not work in a format that FCE uses. FCE only works with DV, HDV or AVCHD material. Everything else has to be converted to a format FCE works with.

Why does my video get blurry when uploaded to youtube?

I shot my video on a 5d m2, Processed it in premeir Pro cs6 and exported full res and encoded for you tube. It is tack sharp on my computer quick time player etc, but when loaded into youtube looks like a cell phone video. Please help! Thanks to all for your help.

Try exporting using the H.264 preset for YouTube at the dimensions of your video. It sounds like you may have done that but you were not specific.
Also, verify that you are looking at the HD version of the video when you use the YouTube player. All this assumes that you waited long enough for YouTube to process the HD version. It first encodes a SD version, then it encodes the HD version.

Is there any way to get a closer close-up than cropping in imovie?
I've got a portion of the video as close as I can through cropping, but it's still not as close as I would like it. Is it possible?

not really ....
keep in mind: zooming into video degrades quality dramatically - therefor, for your convenience, the cropping features is limited to some factor.
to override that limitation, two options:
• create a project with just this clip; crop it; export/share Quicktime; re-import to iMovie, crop again - again: everything beyond 150-200% is, on my behalf, way beyond 'accepatable'.
• reveal original clip in Finder (cmd-click on it in the Events browser), and open it with free MpegStreamclip - it allows a 'all you can eat' cropping ....

These timezone definition changes are fairly common, when viewed world-wide.
For notifying Apple, contact the folks at the Apple Support Center or (if you have access) log a bug report. (The folks at Apple might or might not notice any postings made here.)
For the immediate case, updating the timezones yourself is straightforward; the sequence is basically the same on Linux, OS X, Unix and even OpenVMS. Ugly, but it works. (The US folks got to see this mess first-hand a few years ago, but there are other locations that see these sorts of timezone definition changes far more often.)
For those following along that aren't familiar with this sequence, this old posting should get you close when rebuilding your definitions, though the timezone database has moved to IANA.
