Bad Quality When Sharing with iWEB

Sorry if this is posted somewhere on here. I could not find it.
I am having a problem with real choppy video when sharing with iWEB. My videos when viewed on my website are very blurry to the point that you can not see faces. Any help would be most welcome.

I am importing from miniDV. I believe it is HD, not sure if that matters or not. I recorded a clip off of the cam into iMovie. I added a soundtrack and a few sound effects. I saved my project and then shared it with iWEB. It is now on my website but just real blurry and the sound effect don't hit at the right times. It is perfect when view in iMovie (great picture quality). I also shared the same movie with iTunes and noticed, while better then iWeb, it is still not as good as when viewing in iMovie. Thanks for any help

  • Does anyone experienced bad quality when burning a DVD?

    Does anyone experienced bad quality when burning a DVD?
    Using OS 10.6.8 and Magiv Video in iDVD, I am having a hard time creating a decent DVD. The videos per se are fine, but the intro menu and menu text and images are extremely poor quality and hard to read. What is going on?

    Hi my notes on this - might be of help
    DVD quality
    1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1)
    iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
    • Best Performances
    (movies + menus  less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    About double on DL DVDs.
    2. Video from
    • FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not self-containing, no conversion)
    • iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
    when the movie includes photos and the Ken Burns effect NOT is used. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
    • iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser and as Large (NOT HD or other resolutiona as result will suffer) or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
    3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly e.g. x4 or x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09  this can also be set)
    This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application when burning from a DiskImage.
    4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
    use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc). For SD-Video - if HD-material is used I guess that 4 to 5 times more would do.
    5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
    6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW) - DVD-R play’s on more and older DVD-Players
    7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
    (I use JES_Deinterlacer to keep frame per sec. same from editing to the Video-DVD result.)
    8. Don’t burn more than three DVDs at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while before next batch.
    iDVD quality also depends on.
    • DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
    deliver anything better that this.
    HD-DVD was a short-lived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
    These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-Player.
    Blu-Ray / BD can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
    _ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. BD-component
    _ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
    _ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to playback
    The BD-encoded DVDs can be play-backed IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
    Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
    • HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx. 25Gb.
    less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
    • How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
    • Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
    • Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
    iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera record in = 100% to iDVD
    • What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
    other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
    Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
    strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
    Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
    • What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
    (If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JES_Deinterlacer_3.2.2 do the conversion)
    (Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
    (US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
    (EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
    UNLESS. They are play-backed by a Mac - then You need not to care
    • What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
    • How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
    Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
    Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
    Best / High Performances (most often my choice before Pro Quality)
    1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
    (x4 by some and may be even better)
    2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
    Region codes.
    iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
    DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
    1 = US
    2 = EU

    What it turned out to be was the "quality" settings in iDVD. The total clip time was NOT over 2 hours or 4.7GB, yet iDVD created massive visual artifacts on the "professional quality" setting.
    I switched the settings to "high quality" which solved the problem. According iDVD help, "high quality" determines the best bit rate for the clips you have.
    I have NEVER seen iDVD do this before, especially when I was under the 2 hour and 4.7GB limits.
    For anyone else, there seem to be 2 places in iDVD to set quality settings, the first is under "preferences" and the second under "project info." They do NOT seem to be linked (i.e. if you change one, the other is NOT changed). take care, Mario
    TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
    • Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk
    • No other programs running in BackGround e.g. Energy-Saver
    • Don’t let HD spin down or be turned off (in Energy-Save)
    • Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
    • Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
    • Set screen-saver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set
    pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show

  • Bad quality when play mov or mp4

    I want to play mov or mp4 by quicktime. In my laptop it play well but in my another computer the quality for video is very bad!
    Following is the features of that computer:
    Windows XP Pro SP2
    VIA C7 Processor 1500MHZ 512M RAM
    Graphics card: VIA/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP
    I upload the screen snapshot of this problem on my blog. Please look at the following url:
    http://apolloxiao.blogspot.com/2009/11/bad-quality-when-play-mov-by-quicktime.ht ml
    Thank you very much!

    My first thought was a video card driver because that will produce the streaks across the screen but usually more extreme.
    Then it could be hardware related, do you know the history of the computer, as to any recent changes?
    I don't really have a solution and don't want to string you along. But I swap around hardware, and me, I'd pull the video card out and make sure it's seated properly in the AGP or PCI slot on the motherboard. If it's not a on-board video card.
    You seem to be showing a dual monitor set-up? If so wouldn't the primary be on the right?

  • Quality reduction when sharing with iDVD

    Hi Everyone
    I'm new to iMovie 11.  This week I made my first short movie with a 720HD camera and I'm very pleased with the quality.  When I watch it on my iMac it's great and when I share it with iTunes and watch it on my home TV, using AppleTV, the picture is great as well.  However, when I share it using iDVD there is a fall off in video quality (with blocky text in title sequences) as I play the disc back through my DVD player and TV.  I've tried playing the disc back through a friend's DVD player and TV, but things are no better.
    Is this normal when sharing through iDVD or is there a setting I've overlooked?

    Hi
    As You see there are much to this - at least three levels as I get it
    1. DVD-standard 480i
    2. How it moves from iMovie to iDVD - Share to Media Browser and as Large
    3. Choise of video editor as
    iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - are not tools of choise as they discard every second line resulting in 240i quality
    I use
    • iMovie up to HD6 or
    • FinalCut any version
    as they deliver 480i not losing anything.
    Use High quality DVD - I use Verbatim DVD-R
    Burn at slower speed - I use x4 - to get less burn errors
    makes the DVD even better (plays on more Players)
    Yours Bengt W

  • Sharing with iWeb from iMovie- 2 questions

    I asked this question in iMovie forum and was told to repost here:
    I was wondering where the quick time file goes when you choose "share with iWeb" locally. I have been able to find it on the iDisk, but thought it possibly was saved locally too.
    Also - I'm extremely confused with iWeb when viewing the pages it creates through Internet Explorer on Windows based PC's. I am able to see it on 25% of PC's, hear it on another 25% of PC's, and on 50% can't see or hear it. I have done searching and found no concrete reason why this is. I have updated the QT player, updated IE, and also gone into settings and allowed QT to be the default for all file types it wants. Any ideas?

    ezweeb:
    The movie files is copied into the Domain.sites file that's located in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. That is the most important file of your site. It contains all of the building blocks of your site and if it gets damaged or deleted you'll have to start from scratch to recreate your site.
    I strongly suggest you download and use varkgirl's Automator application to backup the Domain.sites file every time you make any changes to the site. You can get it here.
    Many of the PC browsers do not handle the png files that iWeb uses frequently. The following are a number of tips I've gathered from this forum on how to help avoid creating png files and making the sites more compatible with the darkside.
    1 - do not use and frames or borders, etc. around photos.
    2 - don't use any reflections.
    3 - create your own navigation bar with linked text* and turn of the iWeb Navigation bar. That's because the nav bar is all png based.
    *Put your linked text directly under the Navigation bar. Then turn off the nav bar in the Inspector window. The nav bar will disappear and the linked text will move up to the top of the page.
    4 - use only the web safe fonts from the Font pane.
    5 - do not use drop shadow on fonts.
    6 - turn off smart quotes
    7 - if you add a jpg to a page don't resize it in iWeb as that will cause it to be converted to png. Resize it to what you need before adding to the page..
    The above will reduce the number and size of files associated with a web page quite a bit. Photos with fancy frames and reflections can generate a thumbnail png of around 110KB whereas the plain version will be a jpg of only 28KB. Although it doesn't sound like a lot, it will speed up loading of the page and be more darkside (i.e. PC) friendly.
    Run a test with a test site and publish to a folder. Then follow the hints above and publish to another folder and compare folders.
    This site will show you how IE 7, 6 and 5.5 will display your site. I don't have access to a PC to determine how accurately it renders a site as Internet Explorer would. But you can try it out.

  • Bad quality when uploaded to youtube?

    I have adobe premiere elements 12 to make youtube videos. I uploaded the first video and that one had a black border 1440 X 1080 HD, and then I tried a second video HD 1920 X  1080 which didn't have a black border but the quality was terrible. I am new to editing and filming, how do I get the quality to be as good as it is in the editor when uploaded to youtube?

    divinejoy916
    We will do just fine. And, I am not seeing any problems exchanging information to get the core of your Premiere Elements YouTube problems. I will write as clearly as possible. If there is something that you do not understand, I will rewrite.
    Computer
    You did a great job with the install of the program. If you did not open a new project and go to the workspace and Help Menu/Update, then you are still working with the 12 version. To go from 12 to 12.1 Update, then use that Help Menu/Update. If you are interested in Text Styles, that 12.1 Update has resolved an issue with Text Styles in the Expert workspace.
    Project Preset
    The program is designed to set the project preset automatically to match the properties of your source media. The setting of the project preset directs the program to set up the correct space in the Edit area monitor for editing. Sometimes the program does it right, sometimes not. If not, then you set the project preset manually to match the properties of what you know the source media to be. Some background information on that
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting.
    The first thing we need to know is what we are starting with as your video source for the project. We probably can get all the information that we need to know about properties of the source media from the brand/model/settings for the camera that recorded that Timeline video. Do you have other than video on that Timeline, like jpeg photos? By video properties, I mean video compression, audio compression, frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive (1080i or 1080p), and pixel aspect ratio.
    Once we know that we can cross catch with the project preset and react accordingly. From what you wrote, your project is set for the default NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 which may or may not be correct for your video source.
    Export
    You wrote
    Im publish sharing using the HD presets.
    Still not sure what you are doing with the export, and that is important to be able to trace down to the cause of the issue. You can upload your Timeline content to YouTube two ways for your 2 minutes and 52 second Timeline
    a. Publish+Share/Social Websites/YouTube with Presets = High Definition for YouTube 1920 x 1080 - the uploading of the Timeline is done from within the program using your YouTube account that you set up. (Keep away from the 1440 x 1080 choice.)
    or
    b. Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD with Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p30. Here you export to an AVCHD.mp4 file saved to the computer hard drive and then upload that AVCHD.mp4 file to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
    Which one of those two are you doing?
    Please let me know if you are OK with the above. If not, please tell me what I need to clarify further.
    Summary
    First let us target getting the properties of your source video for this project one way or other.
    Thanks.

  • Bad quality after sharing video

    The quality of my video is very bad after sharing it (I have saved the project as MPEG2 file)
    Especially the darker parts of the video are bad, in the preview screen in adobe premiere elements 7 I can see the faces of all people in these parts, while I can only see very dark faces after sharing. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
    Thanks!

    I have a DV camcorder and I used a firewire cable to get it into my computer. In the assets I read DV PAL 25.00 frames/sec , don't know what information I need to give you?
    I tried to share it as MPEG2-NTSC standard, and MPEG2-PAL standard.
    (I view the shared video on the same computer)
    Hope you can help me (sorry, am not really into video editing yet so I don't know so much about it).

  • IPhone videos lose quality when shared

    Sometimes when i take a video and send it through messages or even email its turns out blurry and just crappy quality on my girlfriends phone.theres one video in particular that im looking for and i can only find the crappy blurry coppy in my messages attachments folder on my MBP.I have an iphone 5 and my gf has the 4s if that helps.just curious to see if anybody else has the same problem or knows how to fix it. Thanks!

    When you send a video with a message via messages, the video gets compresses to save data, so the video will look blurry, and crappy quality.
    As far as the one you are only finding on the MBP, if you did not import the videos to the computer, and deleted them from the phone, then that could be the only copy you are going to find.

  • IMovie crashes when sharing with Quicktime

    I think I posted this in the wrong forum earlier. I am a novice, please forgive me.
    I updated my iMovie program and now everytime I use it and try to share movies with Quicktime it closes unexpectedly. I can export the movie as a m4v file using "export movie", but I need for it to be a .mov file and I typically use "export using Quicktime". It worked flawlessly until I updated. Has anyone else had a problem with iMovie after updating it? Is there a way to revert back to the previous version? I have called Apple Support and the gentleman that helped me got it to do what I could get it to do, but could not get the movie to share using Quicktime. He said that all of the files are the same (?) and that I could just use the m4v. I am doing work at home for someone else and they need the .mov file. Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    I believe I did see multi-pass checked when I was looking at the Compressor Quality. I thought about changing it also because I get about a quarter of the way through the process and then it closes on me.
    My sound settings are:
    Format: Linear PCM
    Channels: Stereo L R

  • Poor video quality when sharing .avi H.264 clip

    My video camera produces .avi files, encoded with H.264, aspect ratio 720x400, square pixels.
    To preserve the original quality and avoid letterboxing, I want the final shared clip to be the same encoding and aspect ratio. So I've created a suitable project setting and share presets.
    Now the problem is that I can edit and share these clips but the image quality is noticeably degraded.
    Is there any way this can be fixed?
    I am using PrE 10 32bit on Windows XP.
    Thanks
    K0ICHI

    Steve, Bill, John, thanks for your prompt replies.
    Steve, I took your advice and used the Flip Mino and changed the frame size to 720x400. I then used the MP4 - H.264 1440x1080p 30, modified again to 720x400 to produce the output. And the result? I can't tell the original file from the output file, except for the audio, that is a bit lower in volume and actually sligtly more pleasant to listen to.
    The camera is an AIM SmartyCam:
    http://www.smartycam.com/on-board-camera/technical-features.htm
    The output is to be viewed on my computer and uploaded to YouTube.
    Bill, I agree with your fax of a fax concept in theory, but as I said, the image quality degradation is indiscernable, and the output file is not compressed, it is actually more than triple the size of the original!
    John, my video is H.264 inside AVI, and it works... :-) GSpot actually says the file is very similar to the one in the thread you linked to. It only differs by having PCM 16kHz mono sound and a different frame size.
    Before I used a modified HDV project setting: These and the Flip project settings seem to be mostly the same except that they use different editing modes, so I guess this is the reason why the Flip works so much better?
    In any case, thank you all for the help!

  • Bad Quality When Importing

    I recently bought a Sony HDR-SR12 and filmed a concert with it straight away in High Def and 16:9. Afterwards, I tried to edit the footage on Final Cut Express 4 and iMovie 8 with the latter informing me I need an Intel Mac (which I will be getting eventually).
    For the time being, I asked a mate to save the concert on his computer in MPEG2. This works on my current computer, but the quality is not all that great. Whenever I view the files in Final Cut Express, MPEG Streamclip, iMovie and Quicktime, there are lines going across the screen and whenever there are movements it looks as though frames are being skipped. I tried rendering the footage in FCE, but it still looks the same, even when I put it onto a DVD.
    I'm not sure as to whether these are side effects from shooting it in High Def, but is there a way I can save this footage in a format where the quality is watchable, even if it is in standard definition. If I have to do this through MPEG Streamclip (which I've also tried doing), how should I save it?
    Also, if saving it as an MPEG2 was a mistake, what should I have done?
    Thanks.
    Dale

    You should convert the files in Streamclip into DV not MPEG.
    FCE does not work with mpeg, only DV, HDV and AVCHD (if you have an Intel Mac).

  • Audio input quality when skyping with Nokia BH200 BT headset

    I use a Nokia BH200 headset with my iMac to skype and people have complained that they find it difficult to hear me clearly and it also sounds very soft. I have tried charging the headset fully and of course set the Skype preferences to the bT headset. Any other people have this problem?
    I should also say that I have a MBP with Skype installed and running as well at the same time but I usually take calls on my iMac. I have this configuration so that I can pick up/make calls on my MBP when I am in the living room as opposed to my study where my iMac is. I am not sure if that has affected the audio in quality.

    I can confirm this workaround is possible, I managed to do it the first try:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12242463
    It is downright ugly and crazy, especially considering the price of these devices.
