After exporting video project the quality is poor
Why is this? When I used to use Windows Movie Maker the quality was outstanding. I would think iMovie would be a lot better than Windows Movie Maker? Any help would be appreciated.
I figured it out. I had to reduce the size of the exported file. It looks a lot better now.

Why when i create a collage to export to photobox is the quality so poor
why when i create a JPG collage to export to photobox is the quality so poor?
The only possible answer to such a generalized question is, "Because." You'll have to explain how you are creating the collage and the steps you have taken in order for us to provide you with any suggestions.

Exported video too large, quality poor
Hey guys. I'm starting with a 1440x1080 mts video, trimming it down (total trimmed length is about 7 minutes) and exporting it to a 1440x1080 mp4.
But sadly, I have to increase the bitrate very high in order to get quality that approaches the original, resulting in a much larger file size. I managed to get the size of the exported video (shown in the table below) to a reasonable size, but it was still lower quality than the original.. Can I get some help here? Essentially, I just want to export the video with the original resolution and around the same size but in something like .mp4 format.
PowerDirector11 achieved this with no fuss.

The answers are in the details. But, from what you offered above, whether you have Premiere Elements 10 or 11 Windows, here is what I am suggesting that you try.
Import your 1440 x 1080 HD anamorphic 16:9 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second into Premiere Elements, using the project preset of:
NTSC AVCHD HD1080i30.
If you are using version 10, you do that in the new project dialog yourself.
If you are using version 11, the program is supposed to do that setting automatically based on your first drag of the clip to the Timeline. Check Edit Menu/Projects Settings to make sure that the program has recognized your video properties correctly and assigned the appropriate project preset. If not, open a new project and go to File Menu/New/Project and set the project preset yourself, making sure to put a check mark next to Force Selected Project Settings on This Project. After OK'ing out of there, then bring in your video via Add Media/Project Assets/drag to Timeline.
When you get around to exporting, give the following a try (in looks like that was the area that you were exploring already)
If version 10, Share/Computer/AVCHD
If version 11, Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD
use the preset = MP4-H264 1920 x 1080p30
That preset uses default bitrates of Target 32 Mbps and Maximum 40 Mbps. Go with that to get a baseline for your video which appears to have an overall bitrate of about 12 or lower Mbps. If necessary, redo, Lowering for file size requirements.
Then let us know what that looks like.
Can you shoot at 1920 x 1080 at a higher bitrate with your camera? And does your camera shoot progressive as well as interlaced video?
Thanks.

Color quality after exporting video
I am trying to make a video with all of my photos, and after I export the video, the quality of the images totally gets ruined. The color is not as vibrant and the images are not as clear, I am using the highest mode to export, so I was wondering if there is anything that I can do to improve the quality!
I figured it out. I had to reduce the size of the exported file. It looks a lot better now.

Exporting Video without lossing quality. A Nightmare!
Hi all,
a recently bought a Sony Handycam HDR-CX160e, which records videos in HD, in AVCHD format (.MTS files). I cannot import / export a file using imovie without lossing quality. What I do is:
a) Record the video in HD Standard Quality. It saves the video in .MTS format, 1440x1080 (25i).
b) Import the video into iMovie
c) Without editing anything, i click Share->Quicktime, using this configuration:
- Format: H.264
- Data rate: 16500 kbps
- Image resolution: 1920 x 1080 HD
- Framerate: current
- Key frame: auto
When I play the video in the mac the quality is more or less the same, but when i play it in the TV the movements arent as smooth as the original; also the original video is a little bit sharper (clear).
How do I have to export the video in order not to lose quality? Is posible in iMovie? Should I use another configuration (framerate, data rate or something) when exporting the video?
Thanks very much in advance,
--ugoFor one thing, when you record at 1440x1080, iMovie will automatically import it at 960x540. So you can export at Large (960x540) and that is about as good as you get. If you export at 1920x1080, it will double the 960x540 to create it.
If your camera has a 1920x1080 mode, use that. If it has multiple 1920x1080 modes, use the one with the highest bit rate.
If your camera offers a progressive mode, use that. 1080P will look better than 1080i in iMovie. -
Misalign animated titles after exporting videos in PE7- help needed
Hello, I'm a new user in PE7, I'm facing this problem on the animated texts titles where the positioning of the tiles will be out of alignment and somehow shifted say few cm away from the original position. The preview windows shows the texts effects alignment correctly but not when I exported the video.
The titles alignment will not be WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get.) Please advise. Thank you very much.As ATR points out, this is not directly possible in PrE. PrPro CS4 allows one to just do a new Sequence (think of a mini-Project inside a Project), but that is the best.
I have not tried Paul_LS's method, though I have done other editing of the .PREL and PRPROJ (same type of file for PrPro) files in WordPad.
I'd do a Save_As (maybe increment the filename by 1, or "test") and work with that file, in case something goes horribly wrong. It should work, but you do not want to run the risk of loosing everything, even if you are likely to have to start from zero.
Because PrE does not allow for two, or more Projects to be Open at the same time, and will not run multiple instances of itself, the simple Copy/Paste does not do us any good. PrPro, with its Sequences, does allow for Copy/Paste between the Sequences. However, there is a program Clipmate, that allows for the Copy/Paste between one Project and another. I have not used it, as I use PrPro and have not needed it. Robert Johnson did several articles on Clipmate and it seemed to work well for many folk. I do not know if it's freeware, or shareware, but Google will track it down for you.
Good luck, and glad that it was just the Project Preset and nothing else.

When I export my movie the quality goes way down
doesn't matter if I export to quicktime, for ipod or anything, the quality always gets really really crummy and turns into like a cell phone video posted on youtube. Is there some way of exporting the video so it retains its quality?

After doing Video "Stabilization" the audio has little dead spots
After putting together a short video Project < 4 minutes (1440CBR) I decided to do some Stabilization for the first time ever. Went to the Inspector/Video/Stabilization and selected a clip and used the Stabilization defaults: 2.5/2.5/2.5 (Transition/Rotation/Scale). During playback (after rendering) I noticed some very short little dead spots in the audio. The VU meters indicate "zero" during the dead spots and these have a length of a fraction of a second.
I tried Stabilization on a few other clips, experimented around with the settings and set either Scale Smooth to "0" and this didn't seem to have any effect other than possibly faster processing. Did some Stabilization on a few other Project clips and a similar thing happened to a varying degree.
Other settings:
Audio Enhancements: Loudness 0, Background noise removal initially 50 but now 0, Hum removal 0. These were initially unchecked.
With regard to what Stabilization does on handheld shots I'm very impressed. However, dead spots in the Audio, no matter how short, is unacceptable.
Does anybody have an idea what is, or might be, going on here?

Can someone tell me how I can re-download as initial download quality is poor...Thanks
With the site on display, click on the site identity button (for details on what that is see [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button]) and then on More Information. This will open up the page info dialog.
First select the Permissions panel, make sure that "Load Images" is set to allow (selecting Use Default should also work)
Next select the Media panel, then click on the first item in the list. Use the down arrow key to scroll through the list. If any item has the option "Block images from (domain name)" selected, de-select the option.
This should hopefully resolve your issue, but also see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Images+or+animations+do+not+show
Some add-ons can also block images, for example if you have AdBlock Plus installed, make sure that you have not accidentally created a filter to block the images. -
Audio problem after exporting videos from imovie.
When I export videos I've made in imovie, the audio becomes distorted. Clips that I have silenced, start to play during clips that they don't belong to. Any fixes?
Hi
How did You Export videos ? To what and into what format ?
If to iDVD then
• First I would trash iMovie pref files and iDVDs likevice
• Then in iMovie - Share to Media Browser and as Large (Not HD or other res.)
• Then in iDVD from Media button Movies import it.
• Then test play in iDVD Preview
• If OK then - Save as a DiskImage
• Test this with DVD-player tool
• Still OK
• Then burn it to DVD either via iDVD or if You don't wat to re-calculate - use Disk Util tool.
(set down burn speed to x4)

Exporting Video at Full Quality
I made a short 2 minute film in iMovie and I would like to export it to Quicktime with the full quality option. For some reason, when i click it, the blue status bar shows up as if it is working, but the blue on the bar moves incredibly quickly and never reaches the end. Then when I open up the Quicktime file it created, the music from my movie plays, but just a still frame from the movie appears. Anyone know why this is happening? It lets me export it to quicktime in the other forms, just not at full quality.
Thanks!Hi
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• *Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions*, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
• *Delete iMovie pref file* - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
iMovie pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named. com.apple.iMovie.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
• Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
• Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
• Program miss-match. iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Screen must be set to Million-colors
From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

Hi, all.
First, I want to construct a fast transfer stream by programming not using the export item's stream and to import the stream to the folder by posting import request in EWS.
So, I export the item by EWS and investigate the exporting stream's struct by reading the [MS-OXCFXICS].pdf. And I can parse each MAPI property, marker, meta-property from the stream.
I find that the stream is made of many pages, most page's length is 0x7BC0, some are less then 0x7BC0. And in the previous section of the stream, there are some configurations. So the questions are:
1. What is the paging rule? or What is the principle of the paging? Whether a complete propvalue/marker(ref from [MS-OXCFXICS].pdf) must be contained in a page except some binary type?
2. Why the page's binary length is 0x7BC0? Or where is the configuation about paging length?
3. The stream is made of the FXOpcodes and the subbuffer about the FXOpcodes, and I find the mean of the FXOpcodes:
internal enum FxOpcodes
None = 0,
Config = 1,
TransferBuffer = 2,
IsInterfaceOk = 3,
TellPartnerVersion = 4,
StartMdbEventsImport = 11,
FinishMdbEventsImport = 12,
AddMdbEvents = 13,
SetWatermarks = 14,
SetReceiveFolder = 15,
SetPerUser = 0x10,
SetProps = 0x11
and in the stream there are 4 part(after I parse the stream):
A. OpCode:Config, value:0000000001000000
B. OpCode:IsInterfaceOk, value:010000000703020000000000C00000000000004600240080
C. OpCode:TellPartnerVersion, value:000F91838417
D and follows is: OpCode:TransferBuffer, Count:31680
So
a. What is the OpCode:Config value meaning?
b. Some parts of The OpCode:IsInterfaceOk' value is the IID_IMessage("00020307-0000-0000-C000-000000000046"), What is other parts meaning?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.Hi Haiyang,
Your questions are not covered by the Open Specification documentation and this is documented in [MS-OXWSBTRF] — v20141018 section “1.3 Overview”.
The upload and export data stream is an opaque format that only needs to be understood by a server implementation. The client only serves as a repository for the opaque data stream so that it can be uploaded to the server at
a later time.
You made good progress in interpreting the buffer using other documents. Why do you need to be able to parse the data? Please describe your project in details and I might submit a suggestion to document the layout of the data stream,
if your project justifies it. You can send the description directly to me.
Thanks, Vilmos -
How to export videos in good quality?
hi,
this is my first post on this discussion board, so please be understanding.
ok, so i have to prepare lot of videos for web, in Final Cut Express. mainly interviews, which are about 3 minutes to 5 minutes long max. on the other hand, i have restriction, that this videos should have max. 10 mb weight.
and me questions is, how to make it? Of course i want good quality!
how to do export, which setting i should customize?
or maybe which another program i should use to convert it later?
i'll be very thankful if You will write a little explanation!Generally, exporting to H.264 or MP4 will give you the smallest file sizes. Plus, most web videos are not full screen and are at slower frame rates than regular video. You will have to experiment with some of the settings.
Export to QuickTime Conversion, select the H.264 or MP4 codec, try a couple of different options. First, reduce the size to 320x240 or smaller. See if that gives you the target file size. If not, try a smaller size. Then, if you still need to reduce the file size, try reducing the frame rate. Only change one thing at a time until you get the file size you need.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.OK. Thank you.
Today I build a stream with a paging rule as below:
1. Keep each page's byte length is 31680.
2. Make sure a complete property value in a page except binary type property whose value length is larger
than 31680.
And it can work very well when import the stream to the folder by EWS.
