Why are my adobe complete picture vidios poor quality

Why are my adobe complete picture vidios poor quality

I think the OP is refering to this: http://tv.adobe.com/show/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/
There are buttons in the lower right corner for adjusting the playback quality. The better choices require a fast internet connection.

On Apple TV, my pictures have loaded, but I cannot get the slideshow function to work. It has been "loading" 28 pictures for over 5 minutes. What is wrong?

I don't have any direct experience with D-Link equipment, but I may be able to provide some general advice. See if you can use a Web browser to connect to the D-Link's configuration screen. This probably involves visiting a URL such as http://www.192.168.0.1 . If you haven't changed the sign-on parameters, a quick Google search should find them for you.
Once there, note as many configuration details as you can find. You'll need those to configure your Time Capsule.
Use the AirPort Utility to configure the Time Capsule.
One last thing: It's quite possible that the Verizon network will have locked onto the "MAC" address of your D-Link router. Something needs to be done to reset this. If there's a separate box at your house that came with the FIOS equipment that's "upstream" from the D-Link router, I'd cycle power on it to see if that does the job. Otherwise you'll probably need to call Verizon to ask them to reset things once your Time Capsule is installed in place of the D-Link router.

My finished DVD is always of a poor quality, help please?

(Encore cs5.1)
My finished dvd normally is always:
Very quiet / Poor sound quality
Large black bars at the top and bottom of the screen
Menu doesn't quite fit on the screen (even though it did within encore)
Reduced video quality (pixelated)
Can anyone please help me out the best export settings
to combat these problems?

Well the video it's self is generally fine until i put it into encore and it gets transcoded and what not and i was wondering what's teh best transcode / export setting for encore basicly but i've answered your questions anyway
What version of Premiere Pro? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Pro CS5.5 with the 5.5.2 update).
Cs6
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
Yes
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
Windows Ultimate 64-bit (Service Pack 1?)
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".
usually .avi however i always experiment for the best result, i'm not sure what codec
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
No error messages
What were you doing when the problem occurred?
well there isn't one
Has this ever worked before?
never hasn't just poor quality after exproting and transcoding
What other software are you running?
well most other Cs6 programs
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?
Nope
Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU).
intel i5 2500k
8gb Ram
1 terrabyte hdd
2 terrabyte external hdd
nvidia gtx 570
guess that's all the important stuff
Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration?
don't think so but don't know how to check
Does the problem only happen with your final output, with previews, or both?
Generally final output, howver sometimes the previews are off to
I hope that's what you where asking for

Importing Pictures Without Loosing Quality

I have an image that is pretty high resolution and looks fine in Photoshop CS5. However, whenever I try to paste it into Flash CS5, it looses quality and looks terrible. If I try to save it as another image format first and then import it into Flash, the color changes. Can someone help me figure out how to stop this from happening? The original image is a .tif, so there are only a limited number of formats that I can convert it to using Photoshop. Thank you.

To resize an image in PS, resize before you save and do not use "Save for Web" to resize unless you want to lower the quality.
From the main menu choose "Image" then "Image Size". Set your desired pixel dimensions and resolution in the popup dialog box. Choose "Constrain Proportions" and "Resample" using Bicubic.
Typical screen resolution is 72 pixels per inch, while print resolution is 300+ pixels per inch. So if you save a 1000 x 500 px image and display it on a monitor, it will display at approx 13.9 x 6.9 inches but if you print that exact same image it will print out at approx 3.3 x 1.7 in.
So resize the image BEFORE you save, then just save as usual, giving the file a different name than the original (so you always have a HI-Res version).
Best of luck!

Import .mod file - poor quality in Elements

I just installed Elements. My Panasonic SDR-H80 camcorder creates .MOD files.
when i open these .MOD files in Elements the playback quality is very poor compared to playing the files Windows Media Player.
the quality is equally poor when i export the project to .mpeg using the highest quality settings.
i have made no changes to any Elements settings nor have i made any changes to the .MOD file in or out of Elements.
update: i also tried rendering the clip by simply pressing "enter" after i dragged the clip to the timeline. This had no effect on the video quality.
i tried changin the 24p conversion method and the aspect ration converison settings also. no change. do these changes take effect immediately after makeing them?
makes no difference whether the video monitor is set to fit or 100%.
also tried maximun bit depth in project settings > video rendering
When creating a new project i selected the folowing preset:
NTSC > Hard Disk, Flash Memory Camcorders > Standard 48kHz
the settings of which match all the properties of my .MOD file
My computer is new, very capable of using elements. Windows 7 64bit, 4GB Ram, Intel Core Quad processor
what is the problem?

Bill - this sounds promising, i will read the threads soon and perhaps a pre-v8 version will be my answer!
Steve - lol the camcorder did come with software but here's the deal:
it's not compatible with Win7 so they have this update - http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/soft/download/vcs20ee_w7.html
that requires you to download several files. but several of the links do not link to files.
And panasonic customer service has been horrendous
My email:
"I need a windows compatible version of VideoCam Suite 2.0 of better. the following link appears to be what i need but when clicking the files i am supposed to download, only the first one prompts me to download. clicking the simply opens unreadable text in a new tab. I'm using Firefox 3.6.3 on Win 7 Home. http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/soft/download/vcs20ee_w7.html This is ridiculously frustrating how long i've spent on this issue and even how long i spent just trying to find this page to send this email.

Imported sd video poor quality in Encore cs5

Hi,
I have Encore cs5. Once I have imported the video files into the project panel, it won't seem to allow me to drag them into the 'create new item' box (next to the delete) bin. When I drag them from the project panel straight unto the timeline the quality of the video is severly effected. Is there something I need to do to the video in the project panel first before dragging into the timeline? And if someone can tell me why I can't get them inot the 'create new item' box that would be helpful too
Thanks
Simon

Stanley,
Just speculation here, but there is not the same need for the New Icon to create a Timeline to match the source footage, as one will have fed Encore the proper Assets to begin with - it is not an NLE, like PrPro, so is greatly limited as to what one can Import.
Like you, I always use File>Import>As a Timeline (for my Video), and Import>As an Asset for the Audio, with Import>As a Menu for my PSD's. I find no reason to deviate from that workflow.
Now, if one was ganging Videos onto a common Timeline, they would do it slightly differently, but I do not do that.

Imported pictures have vanished!!!!

I imported my photos into iphoto as usual and when it sadi the import was successful do you want to delete them on your iphone i clicked yes as i need the storgae space. Now however the photos are nowhere to be found!
they do not show up anywhere in the library or in the imported photos area.
I have 2009 version of iphoto on a 2009 macbook.
please help!

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Imported images have poor colors

Friends,
I'm a new user to Motion 5 having what I hope is an easily-solved problem. I want to create an animated image sequence. The images were originally created and stored in Aperture. Because I understand that Motion does not permit import from Aperture, I exported the images to a folder as full-size .jpgs. I then imported them into Motion.
Unfortunately, they did not import well. They are of a lower resolution and the colors are off. What am i doing wrong?
If it matters, I'm using the late-2009 imac with mountain lion.
Thanks!
Steve

JPG is a *lossy* compression format. You probably exported the images with compression. Many applications start JPG compression at about 70% and if you weren't paying attention to that detail, the images may suffer loss of quality (actually the DO suffer loss of quality, it's just not always that perceptible... until "later").
Image formats that are lossless:
PNG
TIFF
PSD
possibly a few others, but my favorite one is PNG with PSDs a close second (so I don't care.)
Also, if by "lower resolution" you mean smaller in size, there's a Preference to regulate how Motion imports large images. On the Project pane of preferences, at the bottom: Large Stills > select Do Nothing. Motion will import the images at full "resolution" (that's an overloaded term— in programming parlance). You'll have to manually scale or fit them into your "scenes".

Indesign Export SWF Import into pdf poor quality

Hello!
I'm designing an interactive pdf portfolio.
I have exported the indesign file as an SWF at 300dpi 100% resoultion.
I have then imported the SWF back into indesign and exported as an PDF (interactive) again 300dpi
When viewed in the html file . Quality is perfect, however when viewed in the PDF quality is awful. No idea whats happening to cause this issue.
I am using CS5.5 / Version 7.5.2 & viewing the PDF in Acrobat X / Version 10.1.7
Can anyone advise?
here is a link to the file: http://samrowe.net/pdfswf.pdf

In you have Acrobat, to eliminate any issue of swf degradation [when placing swf in ID and exporting pdf] you can add mulimedia swf directly into a PDF.
But, even with a successful placement of swf into a PDF, you will have no control of your recipient's successful playback due to versions of Acrobat/Reader, multimedia preferences and security settings.

Bridge cs6 why do the photos have poor quality in full screen preview ?

Hi
windows 7 64bit , bridge cs6
well i load 20mp or 22mp pixel photos , raw and jpg
i select the images i want to watch and with the spacebar i go in full screen preview
but in fit to screen they look bad , i mean with no crips , no details
but in full screen preview 100% the photos look great
why ?
is there an option to watch them in fit to screen , full screen preview with a great quality
thanks

why is it this option disabled? do the generate monitor sized previews increase a lot the cache a lot!
Potentially, yes. The standard Preview is 1024 pixels, longest size. Some people (like Omke) have displays 2560 pixels longest side, potentially increasing file size by over 500%.

Why do my PS video transitions have poor quality on playback?

I've created a slide show using layers and have created a video group. This turns the layers into clips in the timeline.
I've added a cross-fade transition between each clip in the timeline.
Everything plays back nicely in PS.
When I export to mp4 and play it back in Quicktime, no matter what the magnification, the transitions look horrible. Even if I freeze frame on one it's horribly pixelated. I've tried different export options with the same results. Something appears to be happening during rendering the transitions, as if PS doesn't know how to create them.
I export to:
Adobe Media Encoder
H.264
High Quality
1920 x 1080 (same as my file)
Frame Rate 30 fps
Field Order: Preset (Progressive)
Range = All Frames
My stats are:
PS CS6
iMac 27"
10.6.8
800 gigs free space
12 gigs ram 8 free

I don't use Photoshop for video so am having to guess here, but you say H.264 but not what preset you are using. In PremPro there are something like a 100 prest options for H.264 Try something like Vimeo HD 1080p 29.97, but instead of exporting the entire video, drag the markers under the video preview window, to contain just enough to see if it is working. That will save you a heap of time. Can you select VBR 2 pass from the Citrate settings in media encoder? The Vimeo setting of 5Mbs for the target bitrate should easily give you nice transitions, but you can up that if you like, at the expense of file size.

Imported images with poor quality

Hello,
why when I import images from Photoshop into InDesign project, do they lose quality ?
thanks

Ha!
Well, it's also worth noting that InDesign, by default, displays lower quality previews of the images when they are placed (to speed up processing and display). You can view the full resolution images by going to View > Overprint Preview, or by changing the options in View > Display Performance.

Imported files have error - please help

Yes, I copied the whole project folder at once with all its subfolders. but I left the original location completely untouched. so why would that matter anyway.
everything else in the project appears to be completely in tact.
note: when I open up the song with the missing audio files, I notice that the record path is not assigned, which is perplexing as i did not touch this perameter. It is supposed to reflect the path of the project right? (all my other songs do this)
just now I tried recording a test audio track to see where the file goes when this parameter is left untouched and it automatically directed itself to the project folder. so I'm bafffled still.
I can't understand how files could disappear without my doing something. It seems if they are still in existence then my computer would have had to change the date that they were created. and perhaps the extensions of the file names fromm .aif to something else (yes, I double checked that parameter too; it records to .aif). There must a computer malfunction. I can't have this happen again(who can?). this is the worst type of recording accident and if it can't be explained then my whole Logic recording career feels at risk.

Poor quality of imported photos. Less colours/colors ? [Examples]

Hi,
I'm making project in iMovie'09
I'm mixing movies with photos in my project.
But in my iMovie project - pictures are poor quality.
iMovie probably use less colors what you can see on dark parts of photos and movies.
I read somewhere that it can be only in iMovie preview - when iMovie use worse quality movies for
faster running. So I exported my movie to different formats to check how it will look like.
I exported it to BIG, "HD" formats, and also using QuickTime with H.263 compression and without compression at all ( 20 seconds file takes over 800 MB !!!), but the result was almost the same.
Here you can see some examples:
http://pokazywarka.pl/imovie-quality/
The same problem is according to movies - you can see similar bad quality on darker parts of imported movies... Movies in original looks fine.
Any idea how to solve this problem and improve quality of pictures?
Best regards,
Patrick

I too am having a problem. Mine's not even a picture with huge quality or something, just a an SD video in 16:9. The input format is Apple MPEG-2 SD Camcorder Video, 704 x 480 (834 x 480), Millions. I've exported to dozens of options with a share to media browser, iTunes, export movie, Quick time, etc. and every time I get color bands that aren't in the original. I thought I'd maybe fix the problem by using the "optimize video" feature which converts the file to Apple Intermediate Codec, 704 x 480 (834 x 480), Millions. Still, this video (when selecting reveal in finder) looks great, no banding. Again I export, even export to 16:9 DV (no compression right?) and the banding appears. Everything looks good until I get to that export stage. I don't expect perfection, but if iMovie can handle HD movies I would expect SD to come out looking basically like it went in. Please help.
