transitions and safe-area?
 
The last couple projects I've done have looked lousy on TV's with little or no overscan because the transitions don't fill the frame. (I'm using Premiere 6.5 btw).

Is there a way around this?

Here is a sample of what I mean. (it's a low-rez wmv, but you can see what the problem is...there is a black perimeter that appears during all transitions then disappears on either end)

(right-click and save-as)

Thanks for any help!

heloo?
 
Bump:

The clip is less than 30 seconds long, it's really short, but you can see the problem I'm talking about. If you're worried about viruses or whatever, I suppose I could post it on youtube or something.

I had a look at the clip ... one possibility is that the project settings and/or the export file settings are such that the rendered footage (within the transitions) is a slightly different size or pixel ratio from the original footage.

For example, assuming you began with NTSC DV, your project and export should both be set to 720 x 480 with a 0.9 pixel aspect ratio.

Did that help at all?

I've seen this happen with Xplode transitions. Are you using premieres xsitions? or a third party?
Usually with third party xsitions you can adjust overscan so you don't have this problem.

thanks...
 
Thanks for the replies. I'm using Premiere 6.5, which came with my (now outdated, hehe) Pinnacle Pro-One RTDV card. I typically use the RT transitions provided by Pinnacle for the RT capabilities, however, I will use the Premiere standard transitions and see if they also do that weird clipping.

I played the same DVD on my regular Tube TV and the problem wasn't even remotely evident. Some plasmas and DLP's these days have little or no overscan though and I'm a little worried.

Either way, thanks for the replies. I'm a writer, not a techie guy, but I did this guy's wedding as a favor. I probably shouldn't be too obsessed with making it perfect, but there's nothing wrong with getting as close as I can.
