Resolution of image in monitor window

How can I get the image in the monitor window to be as sharp as the image in the preview window in Premier Elements 10?

Marcel,
If a Project ONLY has Still Images (no Video), then the Project needs to be set to the desired output, say NTSC (or PAL, depending on where one lives) DV Widescreen 16:9 if going to DVD. This is a departure from a Project's Preset, where there IS Video. Then, the Video will dictate what the Project's Preset should be - a 100% match between it, and the Video. When one has both Video and Still Images, the direction for matching the Project to the Video holds.
With Still Images, it is always best to Scale those, in Photoshop/Photoshop Elements, prior to Import into Premiere. This will do two things: keep the processing overhead lower, and actually yield higher quality. See this article: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/450798?start=0&tstart=0. For an SD Project, we recommend Scaling to no more than 1000 x 750 pixels, unless one needs to do a Pan on a Zoomed Out Still. I Scale to exactly the Frame Size of the Project. For an HD Project, say at 1920 x 1080, we recommend Scaling to no larger than 2000 x 1500.
With Still Images, when one Imports those, and drags them to the Timeline, there WILL be a red line. Same as when one adds an overlay, say a Title, or Picture in Picture, or adds an Effect, or even a Transition - the red line will appear, and for smoothest playback, Rendering of the Timeline, or that portion of the Timeline, will be required.
Good luck, and hope that helps.

Image on monitor window does not match red playhead as it moves

While editing a movie, imported slides do not match the monitor view. As the red playhead moves along to the right, when a slide changes the image on the monitor remains on the previous slide. After about 15 secs the next slide appears, but briefly then it's on to the next slide.
This is annoying. I have tried everything I can think of to overcome this (eg rebooted, pulled the plists, varied length of slides, started new movie etc). Fortunately, it does not happen with imported movies from the video camera. I can overcome the problem by placing transitions between all the slides, eg use a one-frame cross-disolve, but I'd rather not have to trick it this way. Does anyone have any ideas on this please? Thanks,
Keith

I also had the same problem. I have discovered that it is due to the upgrade of Quicktime. To reinstall an older version of Quicktime is quite tricky but I have solved the problem. There is no need to uninstall Quicktime 7.6.6. as this will be done later during the installation of the earlier software. Try this: Download a copy of Pacifist. From www.mac.oldapps.com download a copy of Quicktime 7.6.4. Open Pacifist, drag the installer box icon of QT 7.6.4 onto the Pacifist window. Click open package. When asked click "Replace" check the "all" box. This will over-ride QT 7.6.6 replacing it with 7.6.4 and your problem should be solved. Good luck! Let me know how you get on, please.

Image on monitor window does not match playhead as it moves

I am resurrecting this earlier thread because, although it received a star as "solved" it was not really solved. Since upgrading to Quicktime 7.6.6 I, too, have had similar problems, as apparently have several others.
Basically, on iMovie playback the playhead will skip through a still, so that the playback on the screen lags behind, and then will suddenly catch up by displaying the skipped still in a shortened duration as the playhead moves on. Makes it difficult to edit. Video clips are not affected. With me the issue occurred after I upgraded to Quicktime 7.6.6. Oddly, when I reverted back to the previous version, 7.6.4, the problem still persisted. I did the usual deletion of the com.apple.iMovie.plist file, and a permissions repair, but that did not help.
So, I am interested in whether anyone has solved this issue. There are workarounds, like inserting a one frame cross-dissolve and converting the stills to video by using Ken Burns with the same starting and end points. I am more interested in actually resolving the issue. Comments welcome.

How do I get an image in the Encore CS6 monitor window? Audio's fine.

First time Encore user. Running its CS6 version alongside PP CC 2014. Exported media as mpg2-dvd from PP, imported as timeline with the .wav into Encore as suggested here: Adobe TV
I get sound but no image in the monitor window. The m2v file plays back in VLC, but no image in QT, and attempted playback gets me spinning beach balls.
Thoughts? Just need to burn a DVD for client delivery tomorrow. Yes, a DVD.
I'm running osx 10.9.5, 2.7GHz i7/16GB RAM MBP with a couple of SSDs in it, and a Thunderbolt RAID 1 for media.
Thanks for any leads.

Thanks for your reply. I believe the purpose of Photo Stream on Apple TV is quite different, obviously you can use Photo Stream as a screen saver, but since Apple TV doesn't have a hard drive you can't download your Photo Stream pictures onto the device. This creates a problem when you have an Apple TV at two different locations (Home sharing wouldn't work), so I want to know if I can move a picture back into PhotoStream after 30 days and the system will allow it. Please help! Thanks!

PE10 Pixelated images in monitor

I have just upgraded to PE10 and, after some initial start up problems I had, it seems to be running fine (so far - haven't tried any major edits yet) except that when I play the loaded video files (and stills for that matter) the images in the editor monitor pixelate (they seem ok in pause mode) making editing a little awkward as the images aren't clear (of course).
I created a still title and, whilst not so bad, the text blurs when in the monitor play mode.
I don't think it is a render issue as there have been no major edits merely cuts and shortening of clips.There is no red line in the timeline but I have 'hit' return anyway and the 'Render' information box doesn't materialise.
I am running Windows 7 - 64 bit and this is the version I dowloaded. Screen resolution for the PC monitor is set to 1920x1080.
The video files were shot on a Canon XM2 in 16:9 format and appear fine when run through the camera.
The PE project settings are for 16:9 PAL.
A burned disc plays ok on a televsion through a DVD player.
I took a screen dump of the video whilst playing the video and, although the image is quite small (upload constraints), careful scrutiny will see the pixelation
How can I improve the play resolution of the editor monitor?
Brian

Though the un-Rendered footage on the Timeline is seldom seen as "pixelated," it can be blurry.
There will likely be red lines above the Title, and possibly some of the Video and Still Images. If one Renders, by pressing Enter/Return, those should turn green, and then one will have the best possible playback.This ARTICLE goes into more detail.
Also, having chosen a correct Project Preset, at New Project, can be very, very important for best quality. The Project's Preset should match the Video Assets - the Source Video Files.
Also, if the Still Images are overly-large, Scaling in PS, or PSE, prior to Import, will likely be helpful for both quality and for the necessary processing overhead, required to internally Scale the Images. For Scaling Still Images, this ARTICLE goes into more depth.
What are the pixel x pixel dimensions of the Still Images?
Good luck,
Hunt

How to display an image in a window ?

Hi all,
Could someone point me to a document that explains (preferably with code samples) how I go about displaying a JPEG image in a window.
What I'm eventually trying to create is a slideshow, but for now, I just want to add an image to a JFrame and have that display, and even this simple first step is beyond me. There seem to be quite a few different classes to deal with images, but I'm just looking for the simplest one.
With a view to my future requirements, I will want to be able to dynamically shrink an image so that it fits in the window, as well as cropping images so that the full resolution is displayed, but anything that doesn't fit in the window is chopped off.

how to place an image in the cells of a grid and to drag and drop that image. i have the code to locate the postion of each cell on mouse click. now i want to place an image in particular cell and i want to drag and drop that particular image to other cells of grid.

Monitor window aspect ratio

How do you set the aspect ratio of the monitor window? Sometimes a 16:9 still image will full the monitor window, and sometimes it will be letterboxed inside a 4:3 monitor window. How do you control this?

For just the Program Monitor, setting that to Fit, will be correct - however, your Project Preset MUST match you Source Footage. Are you mixing Source Footage, or mis-matching the Project's Settings to your Source Footage?
Good luck,

Preview doesn't display images to fit window

I'm running OSX 10.6.8 on a 27" iMac, and when I enlarge the Preview window to fit the screen (by dragging the corner), the images don't enlarge. They seem to be stuck at about 1920 pixels wide (at a guess) instead of 2560 wide. I can zoom in, but I want the images to exactly fit the window. Preferences > Scale large images to fit window doesn't work, neither does View > Zoom to fit (which is grayed).
Any suggestions as to how I make images fit the window?

Hi, Guy Burns,
What is the resolution of the images you try to enlarge?
My guess:
If the resolution of your images is lower then 2560 wide (your screen resolution), the window will open with the exact size and resolution of the picture (for instance 1920 wide). i.e. One pixel on your screen equals one pixel of your picture.You can indeed enlarge the window and zoom in, but then you are enlarging pixels, the image will get less sharp.
The "Scale large images to fit window" function, is meant for "large images" as the name implies, so images with a larger resolution then your screen resolution. With this function, you can reduce the size of images that would otherwise not fit entirely on your screen, to the necessary size to view the whole picture as big as possible. So this function does not work if the "scale" is 100% or more.
In slideshow mode however, there's a function to automatically adapt the size of smaller images to "full screen", and also "quicklook" (spacebar) supports full screen mode.

Changing monitor window background colors?

I've recently switched to Premiere Pro CS4 from Premiere 6.5. I animate a lot of still images. When rotating them or reducing their size, the default black background color in the monitor window is sometimes revealed. How do I sample a color from the still image and change the monitor window's background color to match it?

It would seem odd that such a basic and useful function would be deleted from the program. After Effects still has this function, so why wouldn't the new Premiere?
Unfortunately, I doubt that anyone here can answer that question for you, as we're all just users.
I would strongly suggest that you file a Feature Request for that to be reinstated in the next version.
Good luck,

Subtitle track turns monitor window into color noise?!

As soon as I added a subtitle track to my encore 1.5 project, the monitor window turns into colored noise.
http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/4373720_VBrbJ/
The video noise seems to be an upside down image (of a performer on stage).
If I play the video, it turns normal, but the audio track sometimes play normal, sometimes it becomes a constant sine wave.
What's going on?

A work around is to remove the transcode. However, as I add more subtitle into the track, I run into a "out of memory" pop up. Subsequently, the cursor (red line) redraw leaves behind some un-erased lines, and the bottom border of the subtitle track sometimes is not drawn. Drag-resizing the subtitle also does not redraw until the mouse is released.
Did I really run out of memory? I have 2G on this machine. Or is this an encore config issue? I looked but did not find any memory configuration options.

CS4 Premiere Pro Monitor Window, Again

I posted several days ago about the problems I'm having with displaying video in Encore and Premiere Pro in CS4. This is incrediblyl frustrating because my older versions of these products always worked fine, and still do.
I've come across an insight:
AVI files that were created by using "export movie" in my older version of Premiere Pro give me a variety of problems when trying to display them in the monitor window of the CS4 version of Premiere Pro. For example, the monitor window might be teal when I first move a clip to a sequnce. Then I click on the mintor window with my mouse and the teal is replaced by the correct image from the clip. But then I click the "play" icon below the monitor window and it becomes mostly teal, but with a few hash marks just to the right of center. At other times, the display has been different.
AVI files that were created by using the codec of Microsoft Video 1 seem to display fine in the CS4 version of Premiere Pro. I approached this two different ways. In one example, I took a clip that displayed fine in my older version of Premiere but looked like a mess in the CS4 version, and I used VirtualDub to created a converted version of it using the codec Microsoft Video 1. PPro CS4 was able to import and display the version created within VirtualDub with the Microsoft Video 1 codec perfectly. Then I took another clip that had display problems in Premiere Pro CS4, and used the "export" feature within Premiere Pro CS4 to export it to AVI, using the Microsoft Video 1 codec. I then imported that output file into Premier Pro CS4, and that too displayed perfectly within Premiere Pro.
My system config:
CS4 version of Premiere Pro, fully registered. This was an "upgrade" version, installed on a machine that had an older version of CS4
Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3 as operating system
Sony Vaio laptop with Intel Core 2 Duo CPU
2.93 gig of RAM
I tried going to Sony's web site in search of updated display drivers, but that section of the site appears to not be working. I also tried going through the control panel's device driver dialogue and clicking "update driver" and that didn't work either. So I'm stuck with the driver versions that I currently have.
But I wonder, are my device drivers really the problem? I'm skeptical, because of the fact that AVI files created using the Microsoft Video 1 codec don't have the problem.
So how can I get the CS4 version of Premiere Pro to properly display AVI files created by my older version of Premiere Pro? I really don't want to do a labor-intensive effort of converting all my clips in all my projects to Microsoft Video 1 just to work around the poor quality assurance that appears to have been done by Premiere Pro CS4's development team.

In Premiere Pro CS4, if I pick the dialogue for File > Export > Media, it takes me to an "Export Settings" window which contains an option to select which codec to use. On my computer, there are 13 choices, including Cinepak Codec by Radius, DV (24p Advanced), DV NTSC, DV PAL, Indeo Video 5.10, Intel Indeo(R) Video R3.2, Intel Indeo Video 4.5, Intel IYUV Codec, Microsoft RLE, Microsoft Video 1, Microsoft Windows Media Video 9, Uncompressed UYVY 422 8-bit, and V210 10-bit YUV.
I don't know which codec my older version of Premiere Pro uses to generate AVI files when I use its "Export Movie" option. I just know that whatever it does, ends up displaying horribly in the CS4 version opf Premiere Pro. However, using either VirtualDub or Premiere Pro CS4 to rewrite the AVI file using the Microsoft Video 1 codec results in an AVI file that the CS4 version of Premiere Pro can play back without problem.
The distortion in the monitor window is different from one clip to the next. I'll post a few examples. In all cases, the AVI's were generated by the older version of Premiere Pro, using the "Export Movie" option.
Example Number 1
While playback is occurring (note that this one shows up as salmon-colored, which is another thing that has happened on a number of my attempts with other clips as well):
However, if I click on the square icon to make playback stop, the colors in the monitor window display properly when it stops. In this example, the clip is black and white, and here's how it looks (ie, the correct colors) after I have clicked on stop.
I'll post another message showing examples from another clip.

Deleting an image backup in Windows 8.1

[Forum FAQ] Schedule multiple versions of System Image Backup in Windows 8.1

As we known that there is no UI for user to configure Image backup in Windows 8.1, this is a guide for your to schedule multiple versions of System Image Backup.
Step 1: Create a task to schedule an image backup with following command:
SCHTASKS /Create /SC WEEKLY /D MON /TN WeeklyFullBackup /RL HIGHEST /ST 13:00 /TR “wbAdmin Start Backup -backupTarget:F: -include:C: -allCritical -quiet”
Step 2: Schedule a robocopy to backup the saved image with BAT file:
Please create a new folder (in this example, the new folder is e:\test2) to save your multiple copies of image backup:
Write following batch file to copy backup and rename with backup date:
*****************BAT********************
@echo off
robocopy e:\test1\ e:\test2\ test.wim
ren e:\test2\test.wim test_%date:~10,4%%date:~7,2%%date:~4,2%_%time:~0,2%%time:~3,2%.wim
NOTE: e:\test2 is my location to save multiple copies of image backup; e:\test1 is the location I create the system image backup.
This BAT can also help to rename the copy of image backup with date and time like below:
3. Set up a basic task in Task schedule:
Note: please make sure the time you configured follows the time you set for image backup in Step 1.
Action -> Create basic task (Name you task) -> Trigger (Set how often this task should be run) -> Action (Start a program) -> Under Program/script, point to your bat file you create in Step 2.b -> Finish
At the end, you can know more about SCHTASKS and Robocopy via following links:
