Motion latters coming out blurry on FCP...

Ok I did someletters with some grahics as an intro to a video on motion, when i see the letters on motion they are crisp(sharp), but when i pass it over to FCP its a little blurry or pixily..Is this normal. I don't really care if it looks like this on my computer as long as the finished product on the DVD looks as crisp as it did in motion...
Thanks

DV timeline?
#2 Playback is blurry
Shane's Stock Answer #2:
ONLY JUDGE THE QUALITY OF YOUR MATERIAL ON AN EXTERNAL NTSC MONITOR, OR AT LEAST A TV.
1. Disable overlays on the canvas
2. Make sure you've rendered everything (no green bars at the top of the timeline

DV footage requires large amounts of data and many computations. In order to maintain frame rate and be viewable at a normal size, only about one-fourth of the DV data is used in displaying the movie to the screen. However, the DV footage is still at full quality, and is best viewed thru a TV or NTSC monitor routed thru your camera or deck.

I'm trying to make "Stop motion videos" in Final Cut EXPRESS by using 100's of still photos and setting them to music. They are coming out blurry if viewed larger than 4x6 in size

I'm trying to make "Stop motion videos" in Final Cut EXPRESS by using 100's of still photos and setting them to music. They are coming out blurry if viewed larger than 4x6 in size.
I don't understand why this is happening.

Quick follow up, since I was on my phone earlier and am back to a real keyboard.
To access Easy Setup, hit Control Q.
If you click on the blue discosure triangles, a dropdown menu with about a dozen different presets will be displayed. Select the one you want, (Here, I've selected 720P.)
Whatever you select for a preset will not be applied until you make a new sequence. (I don't like to have sequences with different properties in the same project so I prefer to make a new project if I change the Easy Setup.)
Because photo aspect ratios are different than video, I typically put a solid generator of some compatible color on the first track (v1) and put my photos on the track above (v2). Looks better, IMO, than black bars. There are other creative ways to display them. And of course, you could scale them up to fill the frame…but then you probably would have to re-position them.
Good luck.

I am converting a .docx file to a pdf and the text is coming out blurry

I am trying to convert a .docx file to a pdf and the text keeps coming out blurry. Some sentences seem to be bolded in the pdf as well. All the colored text seems like there's a shadow behind it and all the text in bold seems extra blurry. I am saving the file as a pdf. I tried to print the file as a pdf but it kept crashing. I have adobe acrobat pro and distiller, but I'm not savy about which program does what.
Thanks for any help!

If you are trying to convert a Word file, ensure the text is in 100% black only.
To create PDF's there are hundreds of different combinations that can be used, but only a few will give you a good 'print ready' file, which is what I think you may be after.
You may have font issues that are stopping the text looking sharp.
If you have Distiller, you can try to print as .ps (save as postscript), load distiller up and choose one of the high quality settings in the pop down menu.
If you are working on a Mac you can drag and drop the .ps file direcetly on the dock icon for distiller, or if you are running Windows you will need to navigate to the file via the menu bar (you will need to know where you have saved your .ps file).
There may be other issues with the original file format that is causing problems with your PDF creation.
Let me know how you get on.
Cheers

Almost high def video and title menu coming out blurry when project completed

I have been using premeire elements 10 since it came out and have been happy until this week. I use elements to put together my daughters school performance for archival reasons. I am working on her latest play and act one was fine and clear when completed earlier this week. However, act two is coming out blurry, including the title menu and other texts and the burned dvd came out very blurry. I tried to compare act one and now the title menu preview is also showing a blurry video so I know the burning will be blurry as well. please help as I'm tired of always redoing the edits. thank you

Thanks for the great news of your success. Well done.
Best give the Shake Stabilizer a good workout before making your final decisions. Major consideration there are resource demanding feature
and file must match the project preset before the Shake Stabilizer will work. Here is the link to the Adobe document on the new Shake Stabilizer
in 13. Note its recommendations for use.

The first thing of note is the major change in workspaces going from 10 to 11, 12, and 13/13.1. Principles tend to stay the same from version to version, but
the features tend to get moved, deleted, or changed. As I typically write, it is very frustrating to be armed with principles when you cannot find
a feature that you are used to.
The following are some Premiere Elements 13 video tutorials. Some times a 12 one might be in there. To spot the non 13 ones, look at the headers
11 Quick and Expert
12 Quick, Guided, and Expert

Except for the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue, I found10 to be a good version.

Motion videos render out blurry

Maybe someone could help me.
I've been creating title bars in Motion to use for sermons. I simply place them at the bottom of the screen. Nothing fancy. When I export the file and place it in FCP, for some reason the Motion video seems to be blurry, and I can't figure out why. I save it as a lossless movie preset in the export window. here are my save settings.
In export options:
Video/Audio tab
VIDEO
Kind: Quicktime Movie
Compressor: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
Quality: 100%
Start Number: 0 (Greyed out)
AUDIO
Sample Rate: 44.1 kHz (Files don't have sound, so it doesn't matter)
OUTPUT TAB
Resolution: Full 720x486
Color: color + alpha
frame rate: 29.97
In my preferences, under the output tab, it reads:
ANTIALIASING: Best
Video Output: none (Update during playback and update dynamically during parameter change are not checked).
still in preferences, under the presets tab, I have my project preset as NTSC DV and in the export preset I don't have anything checked.
I realize it's a lot of information, but I'm hoping someone can tell me what setting is off so that my motion files will be crisp. Also, I just need to make a title bar that i can pull into FCP and drop on top of an existing file, but when I save the title bar it gives me a black background. If someone could clue me in on how to make the background transparent, it would really help.
Thanks all!

First - don't export to get the file into FCP. Just save the Motion project, and import it into FCP and place it over your clip in the timeline on another track. That gives you 2 advantages - one, you don't have to render twice (from Motion, then FCP), so the quality is much better, and two, you get an alpha channel with it.
DV video does NOT support an alpha channel. You can never get a transparent background from anything you export using a DV or DV-related (such as DVCPRO or DVCPROHD) NTSC or PAL codec in QuickTime. This is not a Motion limitation, just the way DV works. If you ever need to export something from Motion and you want a transparent background, always use a codec that supports alpha channels, such as the Animation codec (which you can get by selecting the "Lossless+Alpha" export preset in Motion, no need to go into the options dialog to do this).

Why are my prints coming out blurry

i am trying to make 8x10 prints of my edited work and they are coming out pixelated...what is this image size feature? do i need to adjust the numbers to get a better quality print?

Is your monitor calibrated and profiled with a hardware device? If not, all bets are off - it's always going to be a bit hit and miss as to how prints look compared to any particular program. However, if you're not using colour management (with printer profiles) then here's one thing that may make Lightroom print more like Epson software. When you print in LR, in the "Print Job" settings (bottom right of print module), try setting (in Color Management) the profile to sRGB (probably sRGB IEC61966-2.1). First time, you'll probably have to choose "Other..." and find sRGB from a long list.
By default, LR sends images to the printer in ProPhoto colour space, and non-managed printer driver software often won't cope (resulting in dark desaturated prints). Force LR to send the image in sRGB and it's more likely to be about right.

Render settings for Vimeo - Animation coming out blurry

Hello All,
I am new to After effect and am currently tinkering on AE CS5. I have made an infographic animation made up of illustrator graphics. As I was making the animation the graphics were sharp but once rendered and then uploaded it to vimeo it looks blurry and not sharp. I have looked high & low for the correct settings to use for vimeo but all seem to be inadequate.
Tech spec: File settings and software
After Effects CS5
1280 X 720 HDV /HDTV 720 29.97
Square pixels
Resolution: Full
8bpc
If someone could please try advise on how to approach this It would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Emm

It has come with After Effects for many versions now.

Pictures are coming out blurry after ios5 dnld. Anyone please helpppp!!!

When I take a pic it shows up blurry in my camera roll. And when I try to delete I get a saving image icon that shows forever and never seems to go away. Had these problems since updating to ios 5. Someone, anyone please help. I use my camera all day everyday and this is just crap!!

I found the following post in another forum and tried it this morning and it worked great. My problem was when I took a picture and viewed in the camera roll it was either heavily pixated or it had a white screen with a box in the middle of it. It would become clear if I hit edit but if I hit auto enhance it would become a black screen. Anytime I tried to choose an option, i.e. delete, or email the picture, it would have a saving photo message and stall. I could at times get it to email the picture to my wife who has same specs as myself, (iPhone 4 iOS 5) and hers was fine. But I had not synced hers recently, and I had mine. Only thing that was not the exact same, settings were.
http://www.iphoneincanada.ca/how-to/how-to-fix-iphone-camera-roll-crash-and-phot os-turned-to-other-in-itunes/
The only thing that I would add is when I first did this, when it said to reset I did a Lock/Home reset. When I opened photos they were the same and when I opened iExplorer the files were still there. So I deleted them again and did a soft reset and when my phone came back up I opened my Camera Roll and in about 5 seconds all my photo's were there and you could view them like normal. Very easy and you do not have to restore your phone!!! Highly recommended to try first.

Send to motion option greyed out in FCP 7.0.3

Hi I have just bought Motion 5 in order to use the optical flow tool. When I select a clip in my timeline in FCP the option send to motion is greyed out. I only get the options send to soundtrack pro multitrack, soundtrack pro and shake.
Can anyone help me please?

Ah, bad decision without doing the research first.
Forget Motion 5 for now until you make the leap to FCPX.
Learn Motion 4 and learn Optical Flow in the FCS3 package.

How do I just create production logo w/out use of FCP?

Let's say I want to create A Blah-Blah Production logo and keep it as an intro for each film I want to make, how can I create a good logo w/out use of FCP using LiveType and Motion?

how can I create a good logo w/out use of FCP using LiveType and Motion< </div>
Hire a designer who knows how to use CS3.
Just make sure she understand video's unique color spaces and pixel aspect ratio requirements or you will be using those Apple applications to correct her mistakes.

Video renders out blurry

I replaced video is a motion template and the video renders out blurry, on screen and on my tv monitor …please help.

WAY not enough details to speculate.

PAL anamorphic projects seem to be coming out at export at 4:3

I have Final Cut Studio 1 with all the latest updates. I am doing more video projects these days and I've noticed that upon export things seem to be going a bit wrong. Both straight to quicktime and using compressor to export a 16:9 project and out comes a 4:3 the other end. Even in the compressor preview screen. Frame size says 720 x 576 but it's not coming out widescreen. I've done 2 projects previously that worked fine, but the latest one just baffles me.
It's a trailer completely created in Motion 2. In the motion preview screen, everything looks fine. Export it (keeping the project settings) and boom 4:3. Drop it into final cut and the same. In a project with shot video footage previewing fine in 16:9 the motion file comes out as a squashed up 4:3?
Has anyone else had this problem, did a crawl through the forum, and there were a few things similar but no real answers. It's like the Final CUt to motion 3 problem but around the other way....any ideas where I'm going wrong?

pal anamorphic is a setting used when you plan to dispaly your project on a wide screen-capable tv (because it relaly is wide screen or has the ability to change aspect ratios) so it is actually a 4:3 pal format, than when you watch on your tv you squish by telling your tv to change its aspect ratio. It is actually poor man's wide screen, as you are only using 4:3 equipment and it is not as heavy pixel wise as it is not actually filling the full wide screen resolution but cheating. To make real wide screen, that exports as wide screen without the distortion and teh necessity to squish it back down, use a non anamorphic format to begin with, or do what others have said: change the resolution of your exported file by shift dragging the corner of the quick time player window, or putting in the correct resolution in pixels.....

With all the games coming out for iMacs what Gaming Pad or Jotstick works with the Imac

With all the games coming out for iMacs what Gaming Pad or Jotstick works with the Imac

Now the bad news. In my "Print to Video" pop up, if
I select "Color Bars" , "Black", or any other option
and take out my bars and tone and slug from the
timeline, the print to video does not print anything
to tape except for a nice nothing blue. I don't
even get my actual timeline video printed to tape.
Jerry,
You are a genius! Man do I feel silly. So just for the benefit of others who might read this post, I did exactly as you said, and of course when I restarted FCP, I had to identify my Firewire NTSC setting for the drive. This time, instead of leaving my tapedrive offline, I left it on and immediately saw on my drive monitor the video coming off of my timeline.
Every thing works perfect. I now have a clean timeline with just the content I'm working on and don't have to worry about bars, slugs, post black. Just a few checkboxes and I'm ready to send my tapes off. Really nice feature.
Thanks!

Mpg files put into final cut pro 6 come out blurry in Quicktime export.

I'm a noob. I'm trying to make a compilation of mpg files. My students created animations in Blender. I want to put a video together to showcase their talents.
Everything I've tried with FCP 6 and mgs come out blurry.
Mpg Dimensions are 640 x 480. Codecs: MPEG2 Muxed
Should I be working in 720x480?
Thanks

You can't really use MPEG 2 files in Final Cut Pro -it's not an editing codec.
A list of compatible codecs can be found in FCP's Easy Setup menu.
Is MPEG 2 the only export option from Blender? I'm am not familiar with the product.

When is DVDSP Version 5 coming out?

Hello does anyone know when DVDSP version 5 is coming out. I'm interested in buying the Final Cut Studio 2 Academic bundle for school but it's not upgradeable so I curious as to when DVDSP will be updated. Thanks!

Apple doesn't release this information in advance and the forum TOU restrict discussion of speculation. Historically, new FCP/FCS releases have been close to the NAB show in April ... but not always.
