If your exported movie has black bars on both sies and the top, it's because your'e using an SD sequence with widescreen aspect ratio.  Modern DSLR cameras shoot widescreen. This was shot with a Canon T3I, Magic Lantern, Cinestyle techincolor. You don't have to start from scratch.  Just click on File/New/Sequence to create a new sequence choose the widescreen format.  Next, go back to your old sequence, and select and copy everything on the timeline.  Go back to new sequence, paste it, and voila, your black bars are gone! FYI this slow motion was shot with these setttings: 1/250 exposure 1920x1080 60hz movie reorder 70-200mm shitty canon lens wide open at I believe f/5.6 (I need a new lens!) Magic Bullet Looks for color correction The really really important rules for slow motion filming: -Shoot at a short exposure time (unlike regular film) -Shoot at 60hz, not 24hz -Focus so that the objects are IN focus when they are NEAREST to the camera. ...

Food, Inc:  Rotten Tomatoes "approved reviewers" give it 96%.  "User votes" only 80%.  IMDB only 79%.  Why the discrepancy?  I just watched this movie, it's certainly not a 76% movie.  Heck, it changed my life. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/food_inc/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1286537/ If enough people really hated this movie to give it 79%, surely there must be criticism.  I looked - oddly, this movie is very loved.  Furthermore, why the rotten tomatoes discrepancy?  Are the approved reviewers so out of touch with what people really like?   I would expect to see a close match. Case in point. Saving private ryan is a 92%/93%. Almost a perfect match, as expected: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/saving_private_ryan/ So, I have another theory.  The China SEO.  Ask yourself this: If you're an international, multi billion dollar food mega corp who largely depends on your reputation, and a very edgy documentary is relea...

Food, Inc is one of the most disruptive documentaries I"ve ever seen.  Watch it. Make your family watch it.  It's tough, you may want to throw up during a few scenes, but it might be the most important film you ever see. I scanned for criticism expecting to find controversy, embellishments, and half truths as the norm with documentaries where the director really wants to drive his point home (Michael Moore is somewhat infamous for this). To my disbelief,  it appears to be completely accurate. I found 2 camps of critics: 1) vegetarians.  understandable - they said the movie sucked because it didn't preach avoiding meat products altogether.   I sympathise, but doesn't make it a bad movie.  Baby steps. 2) farmers.  they were offended at how menacing it made them look. But, they generally agreed that everything in the movie was true. Best documentary of 2012 so far (despite being released years ago. I missed it.)

Boom, you need to refile you income tax forms for IRS and the only copy you have is a PDF from h&r block or TurboTax.  The problem is, they are watermarked with giant 'DO NOT FILE, COPY ONLY' letters. Solution :  open up in any basic image editor (Gimp, photoshop).  Drag contrast up to about 90%.  The watermark letters will magically disappear. Poof.  It causes some quality degradation in the rest of the text, so ideally you'll want to only change contrast in the area where the watermark exists.  Highlight with rectangle select tool. Quality is good enough to be readable by IRS agent.  Heck, drag that contrast all the way up to 100% and make them squint a bit.
