Widescreen being forced to 4:3

I'm having an issue with a quicktime video that i import being forced from widescreen into a 4:3 ratio. I end up with black bands down the sides. is their a way within FCE to force a video clip to widescreen?
thanks.

Helps us out here with some real information. What's the clip exactly? What's its specifications, frame size, codec, whatever? You can get it in movie info the QT player if you don't know. What are the item properties of the sequence you're working in? What version of FCE are you using? What version of the OS? What version of QuickTime?

    I made my account in Canada and then I took a trip to the U.S. my friend gave me an iTunes gift card and I used it. Afterward I have to contace support to remove my Apple ID balance so I can switch my country back, but I ended up being forced to enter payment method information. I do not have a credit card and would not want to get one. Is there a way i can change my Country back to Canada without having to enter payment information?

  • Why can't I login into my Apple account without being forced to change my password.

    I received an email from Apple:
    "The following changes to your Apple ID (xxxxxxxxxxxx) were made on 01 January 2015 at 17:52:54 (GMT):
    Shipping and/or billing address.
    When I log on to check my Shipping and Billing address I am prompted to change my password, which I do NOT want to do.
    I cannot go any further than the forced password change screen.
    How do I check my account details without changing my password?
    I am not happy with being forced to change my password. it almost makes me wonder if I have been redirected to a 'scam' site.

    How are you trying to log into your account ? You can log into an account :
    - via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com
    - Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes
    - tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on an iOS device
    All three let you view and/or change your billing address, though only the last you let you view payment details. You could try one of the other methods and see if they let you login without requesting a password change.
    This page lists the current requirements for passwords : Security and your Apple ID.
    If you want to check your account's purchase history then you can do so via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or you can view the last 90 days purchases via http://reportaproblem.apple.com

  • Since upgrading to version 11, I am unable to paste a signature image -- being forced to use a digital signature.

    I would like to be able to place a signature image, as I did in previous versions.  It seems as if I am being forced to use a digital signature, which the other side is not prepared to accept.

    Hey there Jantje1,
    It sounds like you are unable to launch iTunes and get an error message instead. I would try the troubleshooting outlined in this article named:
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
    If it comes down to uninstalling, then re installing iTunes altogether, use this link to download the 64 bit version of iTunes directly.
    iTunes 11.1.3 for Windows (64-bit)

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • Can I upgrade my version of Mavericks without being forced into Yosemite

    Can I upgrade my version of Mavericks without being forced into Yosemite ?
    Apparently, Yosemite breaks iMovie HD (a.k.a. iMovie 06).   I am considering a new Macintosh with 10.9.1  I would like to go to 10.9.5.
    Thanks

    Yes. You can run the Mac OS X 10.9.5 combo updater manually.

  • I am being forced to create 3 security question from your dropdown list and I can choose the questions but can't enter anything in the answer field??

    I am being forced to create 3 security question from your dropdown list and I can choose the questions but can't enter anything in the answer field??

    The problem is twenty three people leaving or twenty three thousand leaving has zero impact on a carrier with over 100 million customers. And they have the lowest churn rate. So if 10,000 or 20,000 or more churn out it means little to the carrier.
    If you have a real lawyer he/she will advise you that you have no case. The device was not lost or stolen by the carrier, you were not eligible for a new device, and like any business who employs large numbers of poorly trained personnel who make low wages what was told to you is not in writing. So a verbal exchange does not hold up.
    In fact in Verizon's customer agreement it has such a disclaimer against any verbal exchanges so if you have that agreement in writing, go get them.
    The posting on public forums and places like Face Book, Linkin, Google+ or a personal web site can open you up to a lawsuit for Dilution of Trade Name, and other offences. However if you have proof then go for it.
    Unfortunately that is how big business works today. A pity

  • HT201210 Ok, i'm beginning to feel like I'm being forced to buy a new phone because this one won't let me update.  What the heck??  Says it could not be found.  Ack!

    Ok, I'm beginning to feel like I'm being forced to buy a new phone. 

    Though you cannot get features introduced in later updates, you are not being forced to get a new phone, and there should be nothing stopping you from using the phone on its current operating system.

  • Why am I being forced to change my Apple ID Password

    I am no longer able to access my Apple ID account settings as every time I log in I am prompted to change my password.  My password absolutely meets all the minimum requirements and yet I cannot get past the login for being forced into changing the password. Is this defective behavior on the Apple site or is Apple really forcing me to change my password?

    Hi mad4dogz,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  So that I can understand your question, where are you trying to log in when the password request happens?  Are you at iCloud.com, or using email, or iTunes, FaceTime or iMessage?  Are you getting an error message that states to change the password, or is it that when you enter your password, you can't get past the log in screen?  Are you working with a Mac, an iPhone or iPad, or a PC?
    The first thing I would suggest is to go to the Apple ID website, sign in with your password, and confirm that the one you are currently using is correct.   If you change the password here, you will need to change it in each of the settings I mentioned above.
    Apple ID: Changing your password - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201355
    Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
    Click “Manage your Apple ID” and sign in.
    If you have two-step verification turned on, you'll be asked to send a verification code to the trusted device associated with your Apple ID. If you're unable to receive messages at your trusted device, follow the guidelines for what to do if you can't sign in with two-step verification.
    Click "Password and Security".
    In the "Choose a new password" section, click Change Password. 
    Enter your old password, then enter a new password and confirm the new password. Click Save when done.
    The next time you use an Apple feature or service that uses Apple ID, you'll be asked to sign in with your new Apple ID password.
    If you are using an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod touch) - I would first restart the device.  If you still get the prompt, then you may need to reset the device.  
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201559
    If the issue still persists, then re-entering the password information for each of the services above would be the next thing to try.  You can do this from the Settings app on the iOS devices; System Preferences on your Mac; or iCloud Control Panel on a PC.
    Sorry this information is somewhat vague, but without knowing the details above, it will hopefully give you some ideas for troubleshooting the issue.
    If you need additional help with your Apple ID, contact our support team:

    Hello @sjancuski, 
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I am sorry to hear that printing from an Android device to the Brother HL-2270DW is so complicated.
    I have found it easy to print from my phone to my HP printer.
    Perhaps if you post on Brothers forums you can get some assistance with the setup.

  • Pop up attack and being forced to unrequested website

    I keep getting pop up advertisement and my search engine is being forced to go unto requested sites which look like malware attack on my i-Mac Yosemite, what can I do?

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
    You may have started up in "safe" mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
    [Process started]
            Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
            Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
            The test results are on the Clipboard.
            Please close this window.
    [Process completed]
    The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
    Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
    12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.

  • Am I being forced to upgrade my OS to use iTunes?

    I have OS 10.2.8 and have been using the iTunes music store without a hitch for many years now. I recently went to download a children's song for my niece and instead of purchasing the song, a page to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes showed up instead. There is no "upgrade later" option, besides I can't upgrade to the new version because I need OS version 10.3.9/10.4.7 to use it. Am I being forced to pay $129 to upgrade my OS if I want to be a customer of the iTunes music store? Is there any way around this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunately, you may be out of luck being that you are two versions off on your OS. It may be better to upgrade. You cannot expect the latest and greatest software to run on obsolete code.
    Out of curiosity what version are you running right now? Maybe you could get away with a late 6.x version.

  • Being forced to merge accounts when using Windows ...

    I have been starting to explore Windows 8 and decided I should install Skype.  Naturally I discovered very quickly that there is an App and thought, great, but how wrong could I have been.  It is completely un-useable because I do not want to merge my skype account with my Microsoft live account(for numerous reasons).  I agree that some services being merged are very handy however in this case I feel it is a very bad idea if "Microsoft" can't stop hotmail accounts from being hacked how on earth can they stop your live id from being hacked.
    Now lets roll the clocks back quite a bit.  Microsoft were instructed by the international courts that it was "illegal" to force any user to have to use only their browser and give them a choice. Surely this is along the same lines. You are being forced to do something that you don't want to do to continue to use a service on their operating system.
    I personally keep my skype account linked to a specific email account for many reasons and give me the ability to keep my identity private and from certain people.
    I should and you should not have to fight to get your accounts unlinked and from what I have read many of you are having troubles doing this.

    I have messed around with this, and unfortunately the app seems to not be able to be unlinked... 
    That being said: I've found a personal solution in that I can use Skype desktop (which works perfectly well in W8, just not as a tile app). 
    And for the poeple saying "why dont you just join it"...
    I think it's important to understand the context here:
    I have two work skype identities [that I need] and a personal identity.
    I wouldn't mind the personal identity syncing up, but i NEED to be able to operate skype in separation from my user account.
    So - to recap: use skype desktop. It works, although it's a workaround, not a solution.
    Could someone from Skype please respond as to the plans on this?

  • Being forced to change Administrator Account when Loading Visual Admin

    Hello,
    When logging into Visual Admin I am being forced to change my Administrator password.
    I followed the instructions on enabling the SAP* user.  When I log into Visual Admin I can not change the "No password change required" checkbox for the Administrator user, and it does not look like it is set either.
    Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated?
    Best Regards,
    Micah Coletti

    No.  It all of the sudden required me to change it.  I do not want to change the password, I just need to know why I am getting the prompt and how to reslove it.
    Any ideas would be greatly appriciated.
    Regards, Micah
