Photos not as clear as in preview.

I'm making a photo movie. When I watch the photos with Ken Burns effect added, the photos are very clear while previewing, but after I hit update, the photo is blurry in the actual movie.
Anybody else experience this?

You're correct: the preview appears to be much sharper, less pixelate, etc.
Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but as I recall the 'playback' in what you are calling the 'actual movie', isn't really the actual movie you'll get when you Share (export.) It's a it's a sort of preview itself.
Try this: select one of two of the photos in the timeline, choose Share, then Quicktime. This will give you a lot of options, each of which impact the quality (and the file size) of the output. You'll have to experiement to find a setting which is satisfactory to you.
Alternatively, if the 'photo movie' is in effect a slide show, with movement added via Ken Burns, you might find that you're more satisfied doing the project in iPhoto. You won't have quite the control you have in iMovie, but you can add transitions/movement via the KB effect, and even a sound track -- albeit a single tune.
Hope this helps,
Hal

  • Photo clicked with flash does not give clear image

    photo clicked with flash does not give clear image

    I did some more testing with this, and it appears to be a Gmail problem with iOS iPhoto.
    I called Apple support, and this issue was escalated to engeneering.
    When sending photos from iPhoto for iOS via Gmail from the iOS device, only the small and medium sized photos can be opened in Mail on the iOS device.  The large and original photos do not open in Mail.
    This occured across different devices I tested, including iPad 2, 3, and 2 separate iPhone 4S devices.  All were updated to the lastest firmware.  iPhoto was uninstalled, and reinstalled.
    When sending and receiving photos from iPhoto for iOS via iCloud me.com email servers, all the photos of different sizes could be opened in Mail fine on the iOS devices.
    It appears that Gmail servers somehow change the way the photos are encoded, and make them not viewable on the iOS device.  Very disappointing, since the native Mail program has no problem, and photos sent via gmail or other are fine.
    Another iPhoto for iOS glitch!

  • Preview photos not showing

    Hi,
    I'm running a blog where I use a photo on top of every new entry. These photos always show up in the preview on the first page (showing the latest five blog entries) but by mistake I've done something to two of the entries that made this preview disappear. I've tried to recreate them, but it doesn't help. If I go to the entry itself, the photo is there OK, but not on the firs page's preview.
    Pls see here: http://web.me.com/mans/langert/QAJAQ/QAJAQ.html
    Entries 40 and 41 should have preview photos, but doesn't (42 has no photo in it).
    What could be wrong here?
    Thanks...
    /Mans

    Mans ~ It has to be the original placeholder — not one copied from another post. ...Unless someone else comes up with an idea, I think you'll have to recreate 40 & 41 anew — copying & pasting the original text and dragging in the photos to the new entries. Then delete 40 & 41.

  • Leopard Preview Photos not sharp at screen size

    I notice that when you double click a photo in Leopard, the image in Preview is not always sharp. If you expand the image to 100%, then it is sharp.
    It was never like this in Tiger.
    The image is not being re-sampled correctly to fit the screen.
    If you open the same image in IPhoto, then it is sharp at screen size.

    Everybody, report preview problems to apple at:

    My biggest problem in preview 4.0 is it freezes while trying to view large images across four apple LCD's. Sometimes I see a gray screen.

  • I want to print an 8 x 10, but the photo does not look like the print preview - it truncates part of the picture

    I am using an HP PSC 2355 printer - and have not had trouble printing before. The 8 x 10 photo does not print like the print preview does - everything elarges when the actual print completes, which truncates all details that need to be printed. Is ther a setting that I should be choosing?

    There is no O or L in my Serial Number, and it starts with one single D, then a set of 3 numbers, 3 letters, 4 times, then 3 letters closing it down. When I check my Final Cut's serial number in the help section of the software, I get the same number. Yet, when I enter it in the site, it says, I have an invalid serial number. So I will call Apple Care. I hope I will be able to talk to a representative in an hour or so. It always takes so long that I grow beard while I wait.

  • Photos not syncing after update to photo app

    photos not uploading to photo app after update, I have over 10,000 photos that are trying to upload and the last import says 2013 instead of last week.   I have a MacBook pro and my icloud sharing is on and I purchased more space so that is not the problem

    i can sync movies, music, podcasts and tv shows just fine, but whenever i try to sync photos, then i am getting the exclamation mark and nothing - not even the movies and tv shows that worked before - get synched anymore.
    This seems contradictory, I'm not clear whether music, movies etc work for you or not.
    In regard to the photos, make sure iphoto sharing is enabled and not blocked by your firewall, you could try creating a new photo library in the same location but with a different name to your existing library to avoid overwriting it, to see if it's a photo library issue or something else.

  • Photos not displaying in Album

  • TS1315 I have just purchased the new iPad with the camera connection kit. I just want to bewant to be able to insert my SD card into the Pad and only view my photos, not import them to the pad.  Can this be done and how do I do this.  Please advise.  Thaj

    I have just purchased the new iPad with the camera connection kit.  I just want to be able insert my SD card into the Pad and view my photos, not import them.Can this be done and how?  Please advise.  Thank you.

    See this article: iPad: Using the iPad Camera Connection Kit
    No, this canot be done, afaik. When your camera or card is connected, you will see the thumbnails in the camera pane, but not full size preview. So to browse your photos on the iPad you will need to import them to your camera roll. But you need not delete them from the camera or card after importing, so you might simply import selected photos to your camera roll from the camera grid and then delete them again from the camera roll after importing and browsing, without removing them from the card/camera.

  • Please help - Photos not saving

    I would appreciate some help here-
    the photos I take, screenshot, and try to save will not save to my camera roll. I can take, screenshot, and press the save button, but they won't save to the camera roll! I didn't update lately, (iPad is up to date), it just randomly occurred. I thought maybe since my storage was almost full, that might be the problem. So I deleted plenty of photos that I did not need, clearing up tons of space, but it hasn't helped. I tried the "Restrictions method" I've read about, but it didn't do anything. I'm unsure what to do. If you could help in any way, that'd be great!
    Thank you.

    Hi If  you have just done a Factory Resore you need to Download Apps & photos from ICLOUD over your wifi Plug into charger before doing this. This may take upto 2 hours if you have a lot of photos. Cheers Brian

  • How can I make MUSE upload one png that it overlooks? Cache cleared & shows in Preview

    MUSE uploads  everything to BC except an inport png. I cleared the cache, it shows inPreview, no conflicts noted in Assets and the Browser reflects any other changes I make to the page.  The space for the image is missing online and the entire page moves up to fill the space

    Thanks for getting back. I had a deadline so I gave-up trying to make that (great) extracted image work and deleted it from my system -frustration. For what its worth, MUSE displayed the png in Design/ Preview/ Plan &  provided an empty space for it when published.  Besides this quirk, MUSE has been a great.

  • Large files not displaying clearly

    I have just stitched some photos and the resulting files do not display clearly outside of CS4.  They were files - up to 800MB  I have then resized them and put them on the web and found the files resized from the larger files do not give a good resolution on the screen.   I have tried saving them up to 150 ppi instead of 75 but still get the same result.   The original large file has incredible resolution when zooming in with CS4.  But terrible when trying to resize  put it on the web.   For an example check out the gallery.      http://gallery.me.com/suethomo#100207&bgcolor=white
    The stitched ones are Thomo_1. Thomo_2  Thomo_3 Thomo_4.    The sharpest ones are taken with a point and shoot!  The stitched pics are with Canon 5D Mk!! and processed from RAW    I have sharpened them in CS4 and they look good until I view them in Bridge or elsewhere.  Not sure where I am going wrong.
    Any suggestions welcome

    A couple of things come to mind...
    I noticed that your web gallery scales the images according to the viewer's browser window size.  Shrink the browser window and the image shrinks.  Enlarge the browser window and the image enlarges.  I would suspect that scaling the image beyond the actual image size would cause pixelation and possible aliasing.
    I would also check that you are sizing your images properly for online viewing.  The resolution should likely be 72 ppi at a suitable viewing size.  I would also ensure that you are using 'Bicubic Sharper' when scaling images down in PS.

  • Slideshow: why do certain photos not show?

    slideshow: why do certain photos not show; they are properly referenced
    Let me expand on this: I have 570 photos in a slide show and all are properly referenced in my library. In the slideshow window, I can see all the pics in the bottom box and when I run "preview slideshow", certain pictures don't appear in the top box whilst the curser moves across the picture in the bottom box. Likewise, if I run the full screen slideshow, that picture(s) does not appear (I have a blank screen); the next picture does show up, howerver... This happens with several dozen pictures, always the same, randomnley amongst the 570...

    Hello Tony and thank you. I regenerated and rebuilt thumbnails; I deleted the slide show and rebuilt it; nothing works. Now, I noticed something weird. All pictures are in an Aperture project and are properly referenced as I said; all the pictures in this project come from a old iPhoto project where some of the pictures are in a "Modified" folder, others in an "Original" project; it is all the pictures in the "Original" project that don't show up in the slide show.... Do you have any idea what I should do?

  • Photos not sharp in photoshop express

    When I view photos on my Adnoir device using the built in gallery app the photos are very clear and sharp. When I view them in Phtoshop Express however, they are much softer, almost blurry. Why is this?

    Thanks for posting your observations here. You are correct, images viewed in Photoshop Express on Android devices can appear less sharp than when viewed in Gallery. There are reasons for this: performance and available memory. In order to display the image quicker, we are displaying a lower resolution version of the image. This does not effect the actual image though, so if you export the image it will maintain the expected resolution.
    We hope to make improvements in this area and are investigating how to optimize this for our next update.
