Why are some of my iPhotos distorted when i import them into Imovie

Have 100 jpgs that i have imported from iphoto, 92 are beautiful and crystal clear, the other 8 are grossly distorted when viewed in imovie, almost pixelated

How does the file size of these eight compare with the other 92?

  • Why are my photos jarbled/color-distorted when I pull them into Photoshop?

    DETAILS:
    I'm using Photoshop CC 2014.
    Photos were captured on my iPhone 5 and captured through Image Capture.
    PROBLEM:
    I dragged two photos into a Photoshop file.  The first one imported fine.  The second one came in distorted (see below).  It seems to be a corrupted version of the first photo I dragged in, that is underneath it.  When I saw the problem, I deleted the corrupted photo layer and tried to drag it in again, and it did the same thing.
    Then I realized I really liked the effect it was creating.  Every time I would transform (command T) the corrupted layer, it would redistort, with different patterns and colors (see below).  I kept doing it, trying to create different patterns.
    Eventually, the photo imported correctly, and I couldn't get the issue to reoccur.
    QUESTION:
    How can I recreate this effect?  Is there a way to corrupt/distort the colors like this intentionally?

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

  • Why are my photos not as sharp when I import them into Facebook from the Aperture Projects file, compared to when I 'share' them with Facebook within the Aperture programme? There is a noticeable difference and has been spoiling my photos for some time.

    Hi all, I take wildlife photos (mostly birds) as a hobby, and have become frustrated with the quality of my photos recently when shared online, particularly Facebook.
    I started blaming my camera ( a Canon 7D) as I changed it a few months ago from a Canon 550D, and I soon noticed that the images were not as good. Then I realised it was when I started using Aperture.
    I started by using the 'share' option within Aperture but I soon realised that then I have no control over the creation of an album, and the photos start appearing on facebook before I have finished uploading them and given them captions. Plus if I subsequently move them or export them to my back up drive then they disappear from Facebook!
    So I started creating albums within Facebook and then importing the photos from the aperture projects file on my computer. Because they are imported I can then delete or move the aperture file and the photos stay on facebook. Otherwise my macbook was becoming completely full.
    However to test my theory I have today uploaded the same photo edited in Aperture stored in the same projects folder using the two different methods described above, and there is a very distinct difference between the quality of the two images. The shared ones are very much sharper than the imported ones.
    I am a computer novice and don't know how to check what the quality settings are, or how to adjust anything to improve the way the photos go into facebook. I do have a manual but I just cant understand it :-(
    I have tried a free sample of Lightroom 5 and my photos  look amazing, there is such a difference, but I don't want to give up with Aperture unless the problem really can't be solved.
    Sorry for such a long first post, I would be very very grateful for any help you can give me!

  • Why are some of my messages green when I send them and why are some blue?

  • Why are the movies I took on my iPad long and skinny with black edges when I import them into iMovie

    I took several short video clips on my iPad and when I imported them into iMovie they are long and skinny with black on both sides. My other movies from my camcorder fill the frame. How can I convert them to be full frame. They are .mov format from the iPad?

    From what you describe, you probably held your iPad vertically rather than horizontaly when you shot your movie.
    The picture in iMoive is a rectangle oriented horizontally, so it's showing your vertical movie as large as it can.
    If you cropped your vertical picture to fit the horizontal ratio of iMovie you'd have to cut off a lot of the picture.
    Soeone even made a mock PSA about this subject.

  • Why are forms or passwords not filled, when I imported them from Safari?

    I've used the Import function to import "saved form history" from Safari, twice already, both times it says it completed the task, yet whenever I go to a site requiring passwords or forms filled out, nothing happens, & I must manually fill everything out! Why is this not working?

    The form history will not include passwords. Firefox can not access the passwords from Safari so can not import them.

  • CS4 I have created compositions in After Effects CS 4 but when I import them into Premiere Pro CS4

    CS4 I have created compositions in After Effects CS 4 but when I import them into Premiere Pro CS4 they only appear in the monitor when the play button is activated. The other clips appear without a problem. I noticed that the same situation arises when I dynamically link to Encore CS4. What am I doing wrong?

    Thank you Ann. But the problem is when switched on the AE clips on the timeline are only viewable when I start the project (ie press the space bar) and as it also doesn’t appear in Encore I am afraid to spend a great deal of time creating a DVD with these clips not appearing. Any advice?
    Regards and again many thanks

  • Where are my pictures stored on the hard drive when I import them into Aperture?

    I imported pictures into Aperature under the project name Christmas 2012. When I went into Finder to see where the pictures were actually placed on my hard disk, the folder didn't show up anywhere. These are new photos that I added to my hard drive.
    I then thought I would do a file search on some of the photos. One picture's file name was IMG_2260. When I searched All My Files for this file, it produced two different photos with the exact same file name IMG_2260!
    Now I'm really confused! Any help would be appreciated.

    . It just seems strange to me to not be able to find the actual photos with Finder.
    The actual photos do not exist as image files, until you export them. The only images that do exist are the originals that you import into Aperture. When you adjust images, enhance them, crop them, Aperture will only store the command, but not actually create the edited version.
    That has three advantages:
    Aperture saves space, because only the original image is stored.
    Aperture can easily undo any operation and you have a lossless workflow.
    Many adjustments can be accumulated into one operation and done very precisely, because the image need not to be rendered to 8Bit or 16 Bit versions in between. Only the final version needs to be encoded as image file.
    So, since the edited images do only exist in a state of limbo, you do not see them in the library as images.

    When you search for the originals with Spotlight or file search from the Finder, you may find the originals and previews of edited versions, that Aperture creates to share with the Media Browser. In addition to exporting the images, you can access them using the Media Browser from all applications that are compatible with iLife: Mail, Pages, Keynote, iWeb, ...

  • Photos get blurry when I bring them into iMovie.

    When ever I bring any of my photos (full res. from my canon 5D 12 mega pixel or high res neg scans) into iMovie they look horrible. They just get blurry.
    Whats the deal. I know the images or tac sharp. If I tether my camera to my TV and view them, they look great. Put them in imovie 2, 4, or 5...they look bad. whats the deal?

    delongt, there are tons of topics here discussing image quality in all versions of iMovie. Try using the forum's search function to search for words like "blurry", "jaggies", etc. You'll find lots of useful information, including how to avoid a bug or two that affects the quality of the DVD you burn.
    It's important to realize that iMovie NEVER shows you all the image quality that's actually there. (iMovie is a video editor, not a video player.) So don't judge the quality by what you see in iMovie.
    That said, ALL images imported to iMovie are converted to Digital Video. They are no longer high-res images, so they won''t look as good as the originals. They are considerably better than what you see displayed in iMovie, however.
    The important consideration is not how they appear in iMovie, but how they appear on a TV, playing the DVD you burn of the project. Everything else you can pretty much ignore.

  • Losing quality with images when I import them into Premiere cs5

    I am creating a video using a series of stills. I originally imported them as png's. I noticed that the images where degraded when they appeared in the timeline, and thought they would come out clear and crisp when I exported. But they remained the same quality in the export as they did in the timeline. I tried replacing the png's with other files and nothing seemed to import nicely, except when I converted the png's to PSD and imported the PSD's. The PSD's looked perfect in the timeline, until I rendered the timeline. And then immediately they degraded. I tried exporting just to see if it would produce a better result and it did not. I also noticed that the titles are degraded in the export as well.
    I've gone through a bunch of forums and haven't seen an answer to my issue. My guess at this point is that it was something to do with interlacing or "fields", but I honestly don't know jack about that stuff. Should I be working in a different sequence preset? If so, which would be best for importing PNG's, or PSD's (RGB) as stills?
    The goal here is to fix my current sequence and improve the quality of the stills in it. I would prefer not starting over

    I honestly don't know what the right export setting is, i'm just looking for something that produces a high def result. I know that my project framerate is 30 fps, so it should probably be exported for 30 fps.
    Any help on this would be great. I've gone pretty much to the far corners of the internet and have found nothing of real help.

    For the YouTube version, use the appropriate YouTube preset.  If you have the upload bandwidth, change Target and Max from 8 to 50.
    For the computer Master, you might try something lossless.  I like the UT codec.  (http://umezawa.dyndns.info/archive/utvideo/)  It's free and works fine with Windows and Macs.  The down side is that not many players can handle it, including the venerable VLC.  I have to use Windows Media Player for those files.
    Another option is MXF OP1a using the AVC-I 100 codec.  It's not technically lossless, but it is damn close.  But again, player support is somewhat limited for this format.
    Of course, if you do up the bitrate to 50 in the YouTube export, that would not be a horribly copy to keep around.  And it'll play in a lot more players.

  • Why are some of my pages blank when I export to PDF from InDesign?

    I have a fairly large InDesign book that I've been trying to export to PDF unsuccessfully. There are lots of images and te
    xt in the book and half export fine and the other half don't. When I export the files individually, they export fine. Any advice why the book won't export correctly?

    I wouldn't expect either conversion or working froma server to affect the export (though working with your ID files directly on the sever is a bad practice -- big potential for disaster due to a network error causing unrecoverable file damage).
    First, do a "Save as" to remnove any unneeded old undo inofrmation from the file and reduce its size, then copy it to your local machine and try to export. If you still have a problem, try emptying your temp folders.
