Scaling video without dithering pixels

Hello,
I've performed some screen capture that I've imported into my Premiere CS4 project.  Occasionally I want to zoom in, but Premiere chooses to dither (or "smooth" or "interpolate") the image whenever it's scaled.  I'd prefer it not to resample, and instead to keep the blocky pixels of the image (as if you were staring closely at your computer monitor).
Any ideas on how to achieve this effect?

Zoom in reeeeeeeeally close.

  • Resizing pixel art video without affecting the pixels with blur.

    Hello everyone,
    First I would like to mention that I did searched for an answer to my issue on the forum but only found a thread by Rowby Goren from Jan 4, 2010, who asked a similar pixel resize question regarding to still images in CS4. He was answered to use Photoshop for this kind of task. My issue on the other hand is for handling a video that can only be edited in Premiere. I'm using CS6. My issue is as follows:
    I work a lot with pixel art animation in 320x240 resolution. Usually I'm making a 320x240 scene of background and characters and the final result should be a doubled sized. So each pixel is actually 2 times larger. Just like old adventure games from the good old days that most of us remember. It works great with old style games creation engines however when I want to make a video with my pixel art creation in Premiere, I couldn't achieve an exact and clean doubled pixel when resizing the source by 200%. It always gets blurry. Does anyone knows if Premiere has any switch off option for scalling blur?
    I have created an image that describes the issue. It's just a simple pixel art image that I picked up on google search. I saved and uploaded it as PNG for best quality, I just hope it won't get compressed after the upload. Any assitance will be appreciated!
    Thanks,

    Thanks Jim, I am aware of the fact that it's a degraded image that doesn't have any antializing effect on it. And that's what I'm trying to achieve in Premiere, although it's currently impossible. Until now I'm doing exactly what you suggested, which is to double the size in Photoshop or other tool that doesn't affect any antializing on the image and then I import it into Premiere. However this also makes a problem when you want to move objects on the screen as the imported images which are doubled size, won't show well on the 1:1 pixel grid when you move them around the screen. So let's say each move on the X axis to the left or right (which represents a move by 1 pixel) should be moved twice in order to meet the doubled sized images pixel grid.
    Take a look on the picture I created to see what I mean. I've duplicated the box image and I'm trying to position each box one next to another in a 3d space look. The left boxes is the original image of the 2 boxes, and the right image is the doubled sized image that was created outside of Premiere. Please note that I've the entire screenshot twice larger so you could see the difference. And please ignore the fact that there is no antializing on the right image as I made this simulation in Photoshop so the pixels will be clean to show the problem.
    So, if you aware of how a pixel grid looks like, check the left image. The position of the boxes on each other is the way it should be as each pixel from each box keeps the relation of a 1:1 pixel grid. However on the right image I first doubled the original box image to prevent 'blurring' effect when scalling up in Premiere, put it on a 1:1 pixel canvas (where the image has 2:2 pixel grid by now) just like how it will be in Premiere, and tried to position the boxes one next to another. See that there's a confusion between the pixels on the 1:1 grid as they got merged one INTO another without saving the relation of a doubled pixel grid. Where if there was any option to work in doubled sized pixles in Premiere, it would have look like this:
    So importing a doubled size images into Premiere like you suggested is way hard to keep tracking the moving objects in the scene, as you must remember to move them twice the times to each direction. Which means that if you want to move an object from one side of the screen to the other side, you'll have to do it frame by frame in a move of 2 pixels by frame, rather then positioning it in one place, make a keyframe, and then go to where the movement should end and place another keyframe.
    Hope now my issue is clear.
    All the best,
    Gal Shemesh

  • Error message: "Attempt to capture video without a video device selected."

    When trying to log and capture, I'm receiving the following error message: "Attempt to capture video without a video device selected. Please select a video device in your capture presents and try again."
    In Capture Presents under DV NTSC 48 kHz it says "WARNING: Video Device DV Video is missing."
    An attempt to edit the Capture Preset gives me QuickTime Video Setting Digitzer options of only "[missing] DV Video."
    This happened only after I upgraded to Tiger. I know Log and Capture is recognizing the camera because it's showing the timecodes, but not the image. Any help would be most appreciated.

    This reminds me of a problem with the QuickTime install. Try this - remove all the QuickTime associated .pkg files from /Library/Receipts, then go to http://www.quicktime.com and download the full installer and do a complete install.

  • How can i transfer videos without losing the sound to my iPhone 3G?

    Hi
    I have bought my iPhone 3G yesterday. I have found out how to transfer music from iTunes however i can't transfer videos. I'm selecting the videos i want to transfer on the videos tab after i chose my iphone from the side menu and pressing apply. iTunes says that its syncing my iphone but it doesnt transfer the videos.
    Lately i have found out a function on the advanced menu for movies as "create iphone or ipod version". When i used that it transfered that video to my iPhone however the sound was completely lost besides that action takes too much time(around 10 mins for a 3 min video and i have a pretty strong computer).
    How can i transfer videos without losing the sound to my iPhone 3G?

    One thing I'd recommend is that you make sure the video/audio you're trying to transfer falls within the guidelines listed in the 'Video' section here:
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
    What's most likely happening is that the file is not converted as such so when you try to transfer it, it's wanting to convert it but is unable to for any number of reasons.
    There's software out there that might make this easier for you but I can't recommend anything specifically.

  • I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud  how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

    I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud  how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

    Hi
    Did You turn on Advanced Tools ?
    First Choise possibly - Visa avancerade verktyg / Show advanced tools
    TimeLine set to show ONE ROW of Clips.
    Then take a photo (.jpg) and drop it ON TOP OF the Clip in TimeLine where You want it to be.
    Now You should get a drop down Menu - Select Cutaway.
    Done
    in iMovie'13 (version 10.0.x) this is very different !

  • How to watch flash based videos without adobe flash installed using Safari

    How do I watch flash based videos without adobe flash installed using Safari?

    Once you have Chrome installed, activate the Develop menu in Safari (go to Safari Preferences > Advanced > Show Develop Menu). You then will see under the Develop menu the Open Page With option and Chrome will be listed there.
    So each time you open a page with Safari requiring Flash, you use that menu option to open the same page in Chrome.

  • Is there a way to import my STD quality video without converting it with another program?

    I understand how to import the HD quality video through imovie, but cannot seem to import the STD quality video without first converting it through another program? Anyone know how to do it without the cumbersome converting process? Thanks.

    What kind of camcorder did you use to shoot the video?
    If you aren't sure, will the STD quality video play in QuickTime Player? If so, click Command-I to open the Inspector and tell us everything listed by the word FORMAT: as well as the dimensions of the clip.  (Instead of Command-I you could alternatively click WINDOW/INSPECTOR.)

  • Importing Video without Fire Wire

    How do I import video from my Sony HI8 camera which is not equipped with fire wire. Is it possible to do this using the USB port and if so How. Thanks. I am a Newbee

    If your Olympus software is incompatible with Mac, have you tried using a memory card reader to upload those photos? That's the great thing about Macs - you can usually do without the camera drivers and software,
    Long story short, I do hobby underwater photography/video and my equipment,while it works fine, is 1990 vintage, bulky, and a pain in the butt to travel with. I wanted to up grade to a camera that was small, would do stills and video and had an underwater housing available. I settled on the Olympus 710 with the 1 gig XD card. Problem was that the salesman told me that it would download into my HP and I could use Windows Movie Maker to edit movies. WRONG! WMM uses .avi format the camera saves in .mov. WMM can't use .mov so i bought a conversion program which converted it to .mov.avi.I now have 3 conversion programs, none of which work and to tell you the truth I wanted to strangle someone. A buddy of mine has a MAC and said it was the answer. I connected my camera to his Macbook and it immediately downloaded the photos and video without Olympus software and I could use the video in Imovie. I am happy. Now I just have to solve the "old stuff" problem. This forum has been very helpful.

  • No Hardware Accelerated Video without monochromatic flickering

    I have an ATI Radeon 5700, using fglrx/catalyst driver (weird crashes with FOSS driver, libva problems).
    In both Boxee and XBMC, iI set the hardware accelration option to auto-detect and it settles on VDPAU/VAAPI.
    Videos play, however all videos (not just HD) appear in a flickering monochrome.  If I set it to Basic Rendering, videos play fine, except for HD video which now stutter.
    VLC can play the same videos without any problems.
    So what should I do? Is there an amdcc setting I can manipulate to help with this, or do I just have to wait for for either media center to update their shiznit? I mean boxee barely works in arch (not without an insane amount of tweaking) but I'm fairly surprised XBMC gives me the same nonsense. 
    Thanks for your input!
    XBMC: 10.1-1 (extra)
    Boxee: 0.9.23.15885-3 (AUR)
    Catalyst: 11.2-1
    nomodeset is in grub, overscanning is in affect, and fglrx is loaded on boot.

    Hi,
    I have had a problem with my 17" i7 Macbook Pro for a while now, and have been unable to find any information on it. When attempting to play H.264 videos, I get the following error messages in the Console:
    <snip>
     I should point out that this error appears any time I use an application which uses hardware accelerated video, including Quicktime X, Safari/Webkit, etc. I have searched around for solutions to this problem, but haven't been able to find anything. 
    Using internal/external display makes no difference either.
    So far, I have tried re-installing 10.6.7 using the Combined Updater; repairing disk permissions; using various different browsers; uninstalling Perian; and waving a stick over the Mac. None seem to have solved this issue, and I'm beginning to suspect this is a hardware problem.
    Does anyone know how I can fix this without sending it in to Apple?
    Thanks for your help.
    Ah yes, when you waved the stick over the Mac, you didn't tap three times on the monitor!
    Ok, kidding aside, you did backup your data right? Should do so because the next step is likely a bit risky.
    So you did reinstall OS X fresh, from the installer disks and then updated? Same problem? Right? ok.
    Have you turned off integrated graphics in the Energy savings panel yet? this forces the use of hardware graphics.
    Does it only occur in Safari, iTunes and Chrome?, cause all these are based upon the *cough* (insecure) webkit foundation. Perhaps Apple had to turn off somethings, perhaps that's reporting the errors.
    Alas, if your using Firefox are you having any issues?

  • Is there a way to navigate (TOC) within a video without SWF?

    My project requires that we do not use Flash. Is there a way to create bookmarks/TOC inside a video without using Flash/SWF? I was thinking maybe a PDF, but that bookmarks pages, not within a video.
    Suggestions?

    I created something like it with Captivate in the past so I was going to again. I guess the scope has changed enough that Captivate is not the right tool. But I thought it was worth asking in case a Captivate user has had a similar need and might have some advice in how I can accomplish this. I don't know much about video editing, but in my research, I haven't yet found a way.

  • Is it possible to replay finished video without re-buffering?

    Hello,
             I have this problen when viewing streaming video.
    Because of quite often buffering I am discouraged to view the streaming video in real time.
    I prefer to wait until almost all video is played and then start playing it again from the beginning. This allows me to watch all video without interruptions.
    However, when the video has finished playing (I was away from the computer) replaying the same video still requires buffering.
    What should I do to avoid that?
    Microsoft's Silverlight does not have that problem.
    Thanks,

    That's going to be a ridiculous waste of money and energy.
    First of all, the current ATI drivers don't support multiple GPUs, so at the moment even a single 4870X2 would be only a 'normal' 4870 (which is quite a speed beast already). GFX drivers evolve rapidly, so things might look different next month, but when it comes to Linux and hardware there's one Golden Rule: stay away from the newest stuff and wait for proper support to get coded.
    I also wonder what power supply could possibly cope with the differences between idle and full load; that's way beyond 400W. But then, I'm one of those "quiet&green" types where >100W idle is already a bit much.
    I kind of understand that you want to get it done and not worry about hardware for the next 10 years or so, but that's simply not how the hardware world works and never did. At least not for the average consumer.

  • How To Play Videos Without Silverlight?

    Hey SHarePoint Fam,
    I am looking to start rolling out alot of videos soon but our environment does not have Silverlight deployed in our machine images.  Is there any alternative to get videos to play without Silverlight being deployed to machines?  We are IE8 shop
    Thanks so much,

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to play video without Silverlight.
    We can use the HTML 5 to achieve it, however, HTML5 is not supported by all browser (especially the old ones).
    As a workaround, we can use the Video.JS  to allow your browser to parse the video tag and play the video with a flash player if your browser does not support HTML5 standards.
    More information about the video.js : http://www.videojs.com/
