Hardcopies with FM in poor quality

Printing my Text with referenced pictures as PDF-file and sending this to the printer, I have get a hardcopy a good quality but sending it to the same printer directly from FrameMaker the pictures are more or less in preview-quality. Did I miss to change some FrameMaker-settings or what is wrong?

The usual cause of this is:
your graphics are EPS or PDF (which have embedded coarse preview or thumbnail images), and
you are printing via a driver that is not PostScript (for example, hp PCL).
Fixes (pick one):
Render to PDF and print that.
Switch to the PostScript driver for the printer (assuming it supports multiple PDLs). You might need to install the Ps driver.
File an enhancement request with Adobe to have an option in Framemaker to preview and draft print all graphics at actual resolution (ignoring preview/thumbnails). Wait. This might take some time.
Displaying thumbnail/preview images in FM made a lot of sense back when computers and video cards were slower and lacked RAM. I recall 8x10 300 dpi TIFs taking 30 minutes just to display the page on Win3.1. This is no longer a problem, but it's not trivial to code, as it would require interpreting and rendering PostScript data structures on the fly.

AME flv output with small dimensions = poor quality

I am crop and sizing some clips in AME. My source content is 1920 x 1080. I have been encoding some stuff 448x288 and getting fantastic results. I am now working on some little guys that are 176x176, these look really bad both in the preview and finished product.
My edit fills the original source top to bottom and I'm cropping the sides to achieve the desired proportions. I then go to output and set drop down to resize to fit, and view it at 100%, doesn't look very good (same on output). I check resize video and set my desired size. Any way to improve this, they are so small it seems like they should look good considering what I'm starting with. There must be something I'm overlooking?
looks good I make my crop
Set my output it doesn't look so good

Greetings!
I was wondering about the same thing, ever since i started using Arch-LInux. I switched from my long-years use of Gentoo Linux and was sort of "comparing" how i could bend Arch linux to my will and needs. Most distros i tried failed But Arch performed quite well and i really do consider staying with it. BUT there is one last thing which really annoys me, and that is the Video Playback Quality. When playing Videos (even DVDs) you can see how areas of the same colour melt into larger areas and blocks, and this is really ugly.. as if there is some hidden "play the video fast and don't care about looks" option. I'm running Arch on my Desktop PC as well as my Notebook and both have the same problem. So i wondered if i am the only one? Since this is so severe IMHO that there had to be a major scream in the forums
Anyone had any experiences with this kind of problem and maybe (hopefully) a solution?

Capturing Video with FX-5900XT - Poor Quality of Image - How to improve the capture quality ?

Hello all,
I would to know what is the best sofware to use when you want to capture Video ?
I used MS Movie Maker, and WinDvd Creator but I didn't like very much of the result, the video had noise, the color and the image definition was not good, is there any way to improve it ?
I am using the last drivers from Nvidia. I generated videos in AVI format and MPEG 2.
I have old videos from my JVC VHS, my connection between my cam and the video board is a RCA Cable. When I see the video in my VCR is good but the digital result was not good.
Is there any software filter ?
Is there any tutorial or White Paper about capture using Nvidia driver ?
Thanks all for your help,
Regards,
Mario Augusto Rodrigues

I can't see a relation between a hardcopy and a analogic movie digitalization ?
Could you explain me ?
In any case the quality of the image is very good in a hardcopy.
Does the Nvidia Capture Drive have some adjust ? Sensibility ? Noise ? Color ? Sharpness ?
Regards,
Mario A. Rodrigues

Poor quality image with doing videos with photos/images HELP!

Hello,
I bought Adobe Premiere Element to make videos with pictures. When I do the video, the quality of my photos is good. When I save the video on my computer or I download it on youtube (example) the quality of my photos is extremely poor. Why? Does anyone can help me? Thank you!

What Project Preset did you choose at New Project? In the case of Video, composed of Still Images ONLY, you would set that to your desired delivery specs. Not so, if you are also using Video. I tried several types of parameters. Some parameters give poor quality when I upload it to Youtube (for example) and others in the design of video and upload to YouTube. So which settings should I use for photos only ?
This sounds like you are talking about the Export/Share settings for output to YouTube.
What I was asking is what did you start off with, when you were at New Project?
If you are doing an SD Project, you will have either 720 x 480 (NTSC), or 720 x 576 (PAL) pixels in the Project's Frame Size. If that is what you want, then I would Scale your camera original Stills to 640 x 480 (for NTSC), as you have Square Pixels, and the Project will have either 0.9 for NTSC Standard, or 1.21 for NTSC Widescreen).
PrE can Scale the Still Images, but the Scaling algorithms in Photoshop are much better, and offer more control.
Now, if you wish to do an HD Project, just choose that as your Preset, and then use the Images in about their original size. Note, there will be some black borders, as the screen-caps most likely have a different Aspect Ratio, than a Video Project, which for HD will be 16:9. Especially with screen-caps, that are pretty low resolution to begin with, I would NOT do any Scaling, and would live with the letterboxing, or pillar boxing, rather than Scale and effectively Crop.
Also, when Scaling in Photoshop, I do not Save_As JPEG, as it introduces compression, but only as either PSD (Photoshop's native format), or PNG.
Good luck,
Hunt

Videos .avi with poor quality on iDVD.

I am new user on Mac. I work with soccer match analysis and I have to use the softaware on windows plataform.
I creat videos (.avi) with good quality if I watch on Windows Media Player or TV. When I watch on my Mac, they have a real poor quality (defocused and trembled).
I used to creat my videos on this software (windows) and I burn de DVD on iDVD.
Do I have to convert my .avi videos to any other extension file?
When I converted my .avi files to .ogm files the quality was better, but I couldnt use these files on iDVD.
Are there anything that I could try to get better quality on my video files?

Hi
I would convert the .avi to streamingDV and use this in iDVD.
.avi
You can use MPEG-Streamclip to convert the AVI files so that QuickTime can play them
and to streamingDV for iMovie.

Poor quality Export for HD with moving objects

When I export from iMovie6 any moving image is very poor quality. I am using a Sony HDR-HC1 and trying to export at the highest possible settings.
When the image is still the quality is very good, but if anything moves the image goes "wobbly" and "jigsaw" like. Panning shots are hopeless and anyone walking in the shot goes wobbly.
The original capture image seems fine, so I assume it is an exporting problem. Exporting at lower setting, ie for an iPod, the image is great.
I have tried all different setting, some are better than others.
Can anyone help?

Your description of the problem - a 'comb' effect - sounds as if the "fields" which make up the resultant picture have been put together in reverse.
(..You don't normally see 'interlaced' video in iMovie's playback window - you normally see just a single field of the two, to make the picture clearer and simpler to display..)
[..A video picture's generally made up of two "fields" which each comprise half the number of lines down the screen: one field comprises the odd-numbered lines, and the other the even-numbered ones. Your exported video should be encoded with the lower (2nd) field first ..as described in this Apple document ..and the problem's mentioned here as well..]
However ..you said in your first post that "..I am using a Sony HDR-HC1 and trying to export at the highest possible settings.."
This is an HDV camcorder, and you didn't say if the original footage which you shot was HDV or normal DV. (HDV is recorded differently from normal DV, as it's recorded in a more compressed format, and it has to be automatically 'unscrambled' by Apple's Intermediate Codec while you're importing it into iMovie HD.)
It seems as if somewhere along the chain of importing>editing>exporting, the fields are being reversed, so that you get this jumpiness on replay when QuickTime tries to deliver a "highest quality" interleaved replay of both fields:
Ah ..sudden thought: you mentioned that you exported thro' iDVD: "..I have used iDVD by dropping it into a DVD theme and it seems to work ok, although the playback is a little jumpy, not quite as good I would have expected.."
You may have left the iDVD settings at their default 'NTSC' instead of switching them to PAL.
Check your iDVD Preferences ..that may be the problem.

Poor Quality DVD with AVCHD input

Hi all:
I did not find this addressed on the iDVD pages or this page. I have imported AVCHD format video of my son's soccer game. Used iMovie08 7.1.1 to edit it. I was shooting in sports mode. It looks great connected directly to the TV.
After rendering the movie (takes forever!) and burning a DVD, the quality output on my 50 inch tv is horrible. I tried using Xbox, the older PS2 and an built in older DVD player. The quality was poor especially when tracking the ball and the players (panning) across the field. I shot in wide format and burned in that format. Am I missing something?
Is there something I can do? I spent all this money on the Canon HF10 and would really like to see it and share it! Also, is there a faster way to import besides the USB port? I know...a computer upgrade is also in my future.
Thanks in advance.

What you are describing is nothing more than using iMovie 08 with iDVD in a fully logical--yet wrong--way. To see you do not need to have poor quality from FullHD, go to http://www.vimeo.com/user364340/videos
HEY, AM I READING THIS RIGHT, (yeah I'm shouting)
Your telling us you know how to use im08 and iDVD in some way that (apparently) no-one else knows but you won't share it, at the same time as advertising your book in your signature. I think you should be reading the terms and conditions of the forum here.
Oh and by the way, while the video in the linked clips is indeed crisp and clear it stutters like a nervous old man with Parkinsons, not sure if the clips are yours but have to wonder if your books merely tell us how to make less than acceptable video.
Tom Wolsky writes some really excellent books but is quite happy to share his knowledge for free and has helped 10's of thousands of people in the video forums. Indeed Jon and Karsten from this very forum have shared their considerable knowledge in the form of online written and video help.

Very poor quality on photos made with iphone 4

Since a few weeks i've noticed that photos made with my iPhone 4 have a very poor quality. I've upgraded to IOS 4.3.2 thinking about a software problem, but the quality is still very poor. It´s like out of focus. I submit a just made photo. Any answer? Thanks a lot.
This photo is made with original photo app and no zoom.

Only thing I can think of is a focus problem (which could be software) or a lens with some junk on it that causes some blurring.
Can't offer a solution but can make some suggestions.
Take different types of pictures and, just for variety in case it reveals something, take two of each - one touching the screen and then one after touching for comparison.
Do close-ups and distance shots. Do indoor and outdoor, with and without flash on the indoor - again, of the same thing so you can compare.
Might reveal a pattern. If all are bad, then it probably goes back to the lense or software not working.
If some come out fine, it would seem to reduce the chance of it being the lens being dirty or something. On the other hand, if close up shots look good but distant ones don't, it could be either software or the internal focusing hardware isn't adjusting enough for distant shots.
Just some things to consider.

Poor Quality of PDF pages with Folio Builder

Hi,
New to DPS. First impressions are very good.
However, when adding an Indesign page to Folio Builder as an article with the format set to PDF(to enble pinch and expand on iPad), the tiff images that are included in the Indesign page are displayed in very poor quality??
When I change the format to PNG or JPEG, in the article, the same images are displayed on the iPad with excellent quality - however, I dont have the pinch and expand functionality, which is what I require!!
I would really appreciate any solutions or suggestions on how this issue can be resolved.

Which iPad are you viewing your test articles on? Remember that the resolution for iPad 1 & 2 is 1024px x 768 px, while the iPad 3 resolution is 2048px x 1536px. Your images need to be formatted accordingly. Also check your image scale parameters. Anything above 100% scale of the original image will reduce the image quality. You can check this in InDesign before you ever test your article on the device. Simply press Command+1 to view actual pixel size and set your Display Performance to High Quality and you should be seeing something very close to what the final result will be. Also check that your images are RGB as well. Hope this helps.

I am getting my third battery and charger! What's the deal with poor quality?

My macbook is a late 2009 model. It's always been running great, but I have some key issues that are making me question ever buying a mac again... For starters, I am purchasing my third battery and charger since owning this computer. I am not very happy with the quality of these devices... The battery is buldged out, and looks like it's ready to explode any day! The power supply is frayed, and exposing bare wires! What is the deal with such poor quality products? I always thought Apple was top notch in high quality, but lately, I've been proven wrong...
Power cord:
Battery:
Seems to me that these issues REALLY need to be addressed by Apple. The reviews on the power supplies are ridiculous! Numorous complaints, yet Apple has YET to do anything about it! So my question is, what is Apple going to do about these issues? These need to be addressed, and fixed, ASAP! I owned a Dell laptop for 6 years, and never had an issue with the batteries I had, OR the power supply, and it cost me half the price of this macbook.

That would be awesome, if the nearest service area wasn't 4 hours away.... It would cost me just as much in gas to drive down there as it would just to buy a cheap replacement off of ebay...

Camtasia Poor Quality in Premiere CS4 Export

I am a PC user. One of my clients uses Mac and Camtasia to screen capture his software program, which I need to integrate into a video I am making for his company. The MP4 Camptasia file he sends me looks good. I bring the file into Premiere to edit it, but when I export it, the clip done with Camtasia has very poor quality, while the footage I shot with my video camera looks great.
Specs:
Camera: HMC40, PH mode 1080/60i (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 compression).
PC: i7 quad-core 64-bit running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, 8 GB RAM.
Editor: Premiere CS4 in the Adobe CS4 Master Collection .
New Sequence setup in Premiere: AVCHD > 1080i > AVCHD 1080i30 (60i) Anamorphic.
Premiere’s export settings:
Format: MPEG2
Preset: HDTV 1080p 29.97 High Quality
Multiplexer tab > Bitrate and Buffering Details: Variable
Video Tab > Basic Video Settings > Quality: 5
Field Order > None (progressive)
Profile > Main
Bitrate Settings: Bitrate Encoding: VBR 2Pass
Minimum Bitrate: 4 (default)
Target Bitrate: 15 (default)
Maximum Bitrate: 18.5 (default)
GOP Settings > M Frames: 3 (default)
N Frames: 15 (default)
Output summary: NTSC, 1920X1080, 29.97 drop frame (fps), Progressive, Quality 5.0
Note in general: I found that if I set the Bitrate Encoding at VBR 1Pass, I got glitches sporadically.Using VBR 2Pass has solved this.
My question about the Camtasia clip:
1) How can I get the Camtasia footage to be as sharp in the export as in the original?
Other questions in general:
2) Are my New Sequence setting in Premiere correct? AVCHD > 1080i > AVCHD 1080i30 (60i) Anamorphic
3) Is my choice to export as MPEG2, HDTV 1080p 29.97 High Quality preset, the best for the footage I shoot?
4) Is my choice to set the Multiplexer tab > Bitrate and Buffering Details at ‘Variable’ the best?
5) Do my Bitrate and GOP settings need adjustment?
6) Should my Export field order be Upper instead of Progressive?

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
The frame rate is 1038 X 882
That is a very odd frame size, and one that probably won't work well no matter what workflow you use. You asked:
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
how could he better capture and export to match my workflow?
Have him capture and export to match your desired export frame size for the finished project.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
How would you suggest I change my workflow to handle the interlaced and progressive issue?
I can't answer that until I know exactly how you intend to deliver your finished video. Any answers to your other questions will also likely depend on your intended delivery format and media.

Extreme poor quality in full screen preview and exported movie

I have spend evenings and evenings to create the content of a project.
After dealing with error -108 and extreme poor quality in full screen preview and in exported movies (extreme stuttering) I decided to install my iMac new again.
The error -108 disappeared, but the extreme stuttering still remained in full screen preview and in exported movies.
If I make the preview screen in the iMovie browser as big as possible there is nothing to see of any stuttering.
Now I am getting pretty annoyed and have no clue what to do anymore (how to solve this problem) .....
Anyone any suggestion ?
The orginal video was recorded with a Panasonic HD camcorder.
I do have a mid 2011 iMac with 16GB ram and 256GB SSD and 1TB HD with a complete clean installation
of OS X Lion and iLife. This configuration should be enough to create a proper movie :-(

why is it this option disabled? do the generate monitor sized previews increase a lot the cache a lot!
Potentially, yes. The standard Preview is 1024 pixels, longest size. Some people (like Omke) have displays 2560 pixels longest side, potentially increasing file size by over 500%.

DVD poor quality

I just created a DVD but the video quality is too poor to use. I get 'ghosting' or flicker with motion, which is 99% of the content.
A client gave me 14 home-made DVDs containing video of high school basketball games and asked me to create a highlight video. I edited the VOB files in Premiere CS4 (4.1.0) to pull highlights and compile them into a single highlight DVD.
I exported the video to Adobe Media Encoder (4.0.0.374) to create a F4V file to be used on websites. I used the standard preset. The quality of the F4V video is good.
I then used Adobe Dynamic Link to export to Encore CS4 (4.0.0.258). I burned a DVD and the result was a DVD with poor quality.
There is a brief clip in the highlight video that I recorded myself of the athlete providing a short introduction of himself. That clip and the still titles I made look good on the DVD, but the highlight clips from the client's DVDs are very poor.
From some of the discussions I've already read in this forum, I assume I need to change a field option or the Anti-flicker value under Effect Controls or something similar, but haven't figured out what yet. Also, when I make changes to values, do I have to burn a DVD to see the result of the change or is there a better way to preview?
Thanks for your help!
Dan

It is very likely that the double MPEG-2 encoding is degrading the material too much. Is it possible to get back to the client's original tapes? That would save one MPEG-2 compression. Otherwise, what you have is probably as good as it will get.
Good luck,
