Problem with Video Quality when exporting to Quicktime or using compressor

I've attempted exporting a video sequence (stills with transitions, video footage and audio tracks) directly as a QuickTime Movie and using Compressor (Apple-DVD-HD_30 Minutes) for import into DVD Studio. The export process seems to work well for each. Only problem: the video seems to get a bit distorted at random spots. The best way to describe the distortion: images (still and video) seem to blur and squiggle for a few frames at a time. This distortion is especially prevalent during more complex transitions (3 Spins and such). The sequence is nice and clean in Final Cut. I'm only seeing this distortion after export. Thanks for any thoughts you might have on this issue.

@John,
Export to DVD is a PPro 2.0 function; in CS3 it is now Export to Encore. Is that what you meant?
First thing is to check the field orders of your source material and of your export settings. Don't invert them, and don't deinterlace interlaced footage.
Perhaps a short list of the settings you have tried (and why you chose those settings) would help us help you.

  • PE3 problems with video quality when exporting

    I've had this issue when putting DVD movies I own onto my iPod, but because I'm doing a client video now, it's crucial that I get the highest possible video and sound quality out of my project. Because the project I'm working on will be about 45 minutes long, I wanted to avoid working on the whole thing in one file since Premiere begins to refuse to let me do the simplest functions if I have too many clips in the timeline. I've been splitting the project up into segments and my plan is to export them and work with them as single clips when compiling the final project together.
    Now here's my problem: I export the segments as HDV 1080 60i files for the highest quality possible, but whenever the exported file is played, these horizontal lines appear on the screen. It's as if the colors are smeared a bit. I honestly don't know how else to describe it. On an iPod, it's only slightly noticeable, but on TV screens like this project will be played on, it'll be too distracting to be acceptable. Can anyone help me out here?

    No, all I'm trying to do is export it to the highest quality video so it can be put back into Premiere to be exported again along with several other clips (also exported in the same way). From there, I'll use different software to burn the entire file onto a DVD. No Blu-Ray, no camcorders, not even firewire connections (my computer doesn't have any). It's just going to be used by some 150 families to be viewed on their DVD players once the product is finished.

  • Problem with Image Quality when Exporting

    I am having an issue with the video quality whenever I export to a .mov or .mpeg file.  Although my film looks good when I'm editing it in Adobe Premiere Elements, whenever I export the quality suffers.  It becomes somewhat blurry, with pixellated lines visible when the camera moves or when things move that I'm filming.  Does anyone know what's going on or how I could fix it?  Thank you very much.
    John

    If you haven't already you need to change the resolution as well.  Like this:
    72ppi is the default which in theory should be fine for on screen viewing, but play around and use what works for you.

  • Problem with photo quality when exporting interactive pdf

    Hi guys!
    I made a simple pdf with before/after retouching samples with photos overlayed, changing on mouse rollover.
    When I export it as an interactive pdf (on lossless jpeg quality), the photo quality on the final pdf looks like a jpeg on 40% quality, really bad. Rollover works.
    When I export it as a pdf for print on high quality - the photo quality in the final pdf is flawless but rollovers dont work.. (I checked "Interactive Elements: Include Appearance) but still nothing..
    Pleeease help cause I can't find a way. I just need the rollovers to work and to have the photos in the best quality possible.
    Thanks,
    Jelena

  • Problem with losing quality in exporting FLV

    First I should emphasize that I am new to Adobe's products, and am learning it on the fly as part of a intelligent tutoring system design project. So I apologize for my lack of technical knowledge in advance. Rest assured I have put much effort in attempting to solve this problem on my own and by referencing this forum and other web sources, but sadly with no success.
    FYI, I am using the CS4 Master collection.
    My question pertains to retaining the quality of my video once I export it to .flv format via Media Encoder from Premiere Pro. My main video source is an .flv file that i have imported into my media browser. Initially I ran into a problem with the importing because it did not recognize H264 as having any media, and so I had to convert to Sorenson format to get it to import successfully. But it seems to have imported just fine without any loss of quality in the workspace. So that isn't my main issue but perhaps it is related.
    I am having major issues with losing quality upon export back to .flv format - which is the format I am required to use - the video is being imbedded within a larger program and so it needs to have a smallish file size. For the life of me I cannot figure out any combination of settings that works. If I select same as source then I end up with a video that is surrounded by black borders. This may because the workspace is larger than my imported file. I have attempted to enlarge it to fit the safe margins but it hasn't helped. If I resize my output video to 640 x 480 - which is what I want - I get a shrinked video with black borders. If I crop the input to what I want I just lose quality - but I lose quality either way. I really want to accomplish this without increasing the bit rate (and thus the file size). I have tried just about every setting available and I still lose the quality. Is this just inevitable? Is there a plugin that would help? From what I can it seems that Adobe has more problems dealing with .flv than with other video formats, but I haven't found anything that pertains to this issue specifically.
    Otherwise does anyone know of any other programs that can edit .flv files and offers multiple video & audio tracks?
    Thanks in advance. If anything needs clarification let me know.

    Ah yes I left out that detail. My source video is 640 x 480 also so the output is not an increase in size.
    This is different from my sequence settings. Which is 1440 x 1080 16:9 ratio. Pixel Aspect Ratio is HD anamorphic 1080 (1.333).
    I am assuming that this needs to be changed but I can't figure out how to do that (sequence settings are greyed out). Should I just start a new project?

  • Loss of video quality when exporting animation

    I'm using the animation software Toonboom to make 2D hand drawn animation and I want to edit my scenes together in imovie. I export my clips out of Toonboom as Quicktime movies, and have no problem with getting them in imovie or editing them, it's the exporting that's causing the problem. I want to export them with the best possible quality so that the finished movie can be burnt on a DVD for TV viewing, so I export using the full qualty option, but every time I export it there is a noticable loss of quality. When I export the scenes out of Toonboom, the quality is perfect, so I don't want to lose my image quality. I've tried different compression options, and even have selected NO compression and have set it to the 'best' quality option, but the final export is always pixely, paler, or the black outline gets a ghost. Does anyone have any experience with editing and exporting 2D hand drawn animation in imovie 4 and what would be the best compression options. This is very frustrating, after putting a lot of work into it, to get a poor image quality because of this... Thanks a lot.

    Hi, thanks for your response. I tried creating a new imovie project to test what you said, but when I try to drop the imovie file with the star on it into iDVD I get a message telling me that it's an unsupported file type. Just out of curiosity I dropped a really crappy looking dv video file exported from imovie into iDVD and it really did improve the quality!
    What if I draw directly into the animation software using a graphics tablet, that way the images aren't scanned. Backgrounds can be painted in painting software, but they are of course, with the exception of a few camera pans, just still images. I wonder, is the poor imovie quality a result of the fact that it is outlines and solid colors instead of live action video? Kind of like when you turn a still drawn image into a JPEG file you get pixels in the colored areas.
    Thanks for mentioning about the "pixelated disk", too. It really ***** to burn a disk and then find out it's wasted because the video looks so bad.~_~

  • Having problems with video quality in iDVD 09

    I have created a slide show in iMovie with audio. When saved it is in a .mov format. I burned it to DVD using the burn folder option. It has great video quality in that format. Since most DVD players won't accept the .mov format or some PC's, I wanted the most common format for viewing. I exported the movie to iDVD and used these settings..
    Video Mode-NTSC
    Aspect Ration 16:9 widescreen
    Encoding-Professional Quality
    DVD Type-Single-Layer (SL)-4.2 GB
    When going from the .mov format to the MPEG-2 format ( I think this is the output format for iDVD)
    The quality is very poor. It seems to have wavy lines throughout the file, especially when someone is wearing patterned clothing.
    Anyone know how to get the same quality of the .mov file to something that will be viewable across multiple platforms???
    Would using moviegate conversion software be an answer????

    a mov can contain all kind of codecs and esp. resolutions..
    a videoDVD, by standards, has a 720x480 res, and is interlaced.
    => quality HAS to be 'lower' than any 5Mpix on a HiDef computer screen..
    but, I did tons of slideshows with iMHD6 and iDVD.. for me, quality is superb.. for sure, tiny 'checker patterns', 'sub pixel lines' etc. HAVE to flimmer..

  • Poor video quality when exporting from Adobe Premiere

    Hey, I was just wondering if there was anyone here that could help me  with this problem I am having with Adobe Premiere Pro.
    I have used it to edit a movie together with MOV video files from my  iPhone 3GS which are of decent quality but everytime I try to export it,  the video quality is degraded significantly from the original. I have  tried several different export options but none seem to do the trick.
    Also, exporting with DivX just gives me an audio file with no video so I  have been unable to try that.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks.

  • IMovie - Poor Video Quality when exporting to "Projects"

    Hi - I'm using iMovie 11' and once I move my video (HD) from "Events" to "Projects" my video quality becomes very poor and the video is cropped. I have changed my setting to have it "fit frame" but the problem still exists. Thoughts?

  • Problems with color quality when saving photos.

    I never used to have any problems, but just recently I have noticed that, after cropping, editing, resizing my photos, and saving....they look fine on my screen while open in photoshop, but yet when attaching them and emailing or posting them, the color quality seems to change. The photo ends up looking quite different than my original photo (the edited copy). I can't figure out for the life of me what is causing this and do not remember ever having this problem before. The only thing that has changed is a new monitor. I don't think that would have any bearing, because like i said, everything looks great until the photos are sent. (when looking in my sent folder, i can see the "altered" state of the image. it's not just a problem with someone elses computer settings, etc)
    A newbie here with low tech skills, lol. Any help is appreciated, I would just like my pictures to be seen by others in the color state and quality as they appear to me, and it is frustrating.
    I hope my explanation of my problem makes sense and look forward to any advice. (I'm hoping there is a quick solution like a setting I need to click on or off!??)
    (using Elements 2.0)

    Hi Amy:
    Sorry that the Color Setting idea didn't do the trick. Since the occurrence is separate, that is, seeing one color view using Elements and a different color view using email view. I still suspect this area.
    Calibrating a monitor to me (as the saying goes), is easier said than done. You may want to do a web search using Calibrate Monitor, or similar search words. This will find some interesting websites on calibrating monitors you can read and try out. If you do change some settings, write down what your original settings are before hand, so if you make it worse, you can go back where you started.
    There are two areas to calibrate the monitor.
    1. Using the monitor controls on the monitor itself.
    or/and
    2. Using the graphics card (software) control. Which is normally found (Win XP) DISPLAY PROPERTIES>SETTINGS>ADVANCED> then the TAB with your graphics card name.
    3. Actually there is a third one, which uses a very expensive device that connects to the monitor. At the moment this method escapes me. Mainly used by professionals and serious photo editing people.
    Good Luck!

  • Problem with video, Quality gets all messed up

    I'm burning a video thats about an hour and even minutes long, with about 3 short little extra videos on there that are about five minutes long each
    I burned the DVD with best quality.
    The Menus are fine, and two of the short videos are fine
    but after like 5 minutes on the main video, it starts to get all distorted and chopy and all this green distortion comes up and its just a mess
    I would burn it with best performance, but it says its to long for that
    I NEED HELP!!

    QT and FCP show you different colors. You need to go into QT and enable FCP color compatibility. I believe it is in the SHOW MOVIE PROPERTIES, then the VIdeo track, then VISUAL SETTINGS. Somewhere in there.
