Yes. View it on a calibrated external TV monitor .. preferably a professional grade monitor.
Keep in mind that FCP's Canvas is only a proxy playback - not full resolution or quality. Increasing the Canvas window size so it can accommodate 100% view will help some, but it's always best to be viewing your work on an external TV monitor.

  • Movie with BEST POSSIBLE QUALITY on DVD

    Hi,
    I completed a short family movie (15 min) in PAL format with Final Cut Express HD. How do I get it from there onto a DVD in PAL format with the BEST POSSIBLE QUALITY?
    Thank you in advance for your help,

    Given the fact your PAL movie is only 15 mins. long in terms of QT playback, here are the settings I'd recommend if you're concerned about higher quality playback:
    (3) G4 PM's/(3) S-Drives/Sony TRV900/Nikons/6FWHD's/PS7/iLife06/FCPHD/DVDSP/etc. Mac OS X (10.4.8) My ichatav AIM account is: SDMacuser1 (Please use Text chat prior to video)

  • CK-200 poor music playback quality

    Hi, I've just installed the car kit CK-200 (ISO cable version) into my car and I'm very disappointed by the music playback quality.
    I have Nokia C7 with the latest firmware (14.002) and I have also updated the car kit firmware into 3.0.
    There's no problem with the phone call quality - I would say it is comparable to the other car kits (for example to CK-7W I've had before), but if I want to use it for playing music, it still plays it in "phone call-like" quality. I have tried different players, but no success - still the same low quality.
    If I turn the FM transmitter on and tune up the car radio to the transmitters' frequency, I get much better quality then via this car kit (although sometimes it's noisy from other broadcasting radios).
    In the product description of this CK-200 they highlight very good sound quality thanks to some DSP technology - I hope there's more than this.
    Do you have any idea what might be the problem here?

    Hi
    The CK-200 is a mono output car kit that is only designed for calls, not music.
    If a handset is playing music via the mono Bluetooth channel, this is a fluke, and not part of the design of the handset.
    The CK-100, 300, 600 are all stereo car kits with music capability.
    The DSP settings on the CK-200 manage the voice vs background noise in the car so the driver can be heard more clearly by the other caller.

  • What settings give the BEST audio quality (original audio CD to iTunes)

    Further to my last post, can ya'll PLEASE help me get the bottom of this? I have heard so many different opinions & need to resolve ASAP....
    What pref' settings will give me the VERY BEST audio quality, when importing original audio CD's into iTunes 4?
    File size is of no issue (I have TONS of storage). I aim to import all at the highest quality possible (files need to be "broadcast quality" - for playing through a big PA system). I have been advised to either.....
    1. Import using the AAC encoder at a stereo bit rate of 320 kbps with a sample rate of 48.000 kHz.
    2. Import using AIFF (lossless uncompressed).
    3. Import using Apple Lossless (lossless compressed).
    WHICH ONE SHOULD I USE? Bearing in mind that the files will be played LOUD through a professional PA system & I'd prefer the crowd not to notice a significant diference between iTune files & orginal audio CD's (I will be spining both, side by side).
    Cheers - Sweetamix.

    You are finding out that the answer to this question tough. Everyone has their own opinion on this one.
    I saved the responses to a topic I opened six months ago on this same subject. I saved them and cut and pasted them into one document. Here were the answers I received. Good luck. bob

    RE: Classical Music & Bitrate
    My experience with classical music (and music in general) is that the higher the bitrate, the better the quality and richness of the music. On the other hand, there is a limit to how much distinction your ears can make, and I think that anything above 192 kbps (mp3 format) is not significantly better (and not worth the larger file size). And in terms of volume adjustment, I personally have not found any need for it.
    RE: Classical Music & Bitrate
    I copied the same CD to my computer in 128, 160, 192, and 320 bitrates, and I couldn't tell a difference between any of 'em. I was listening to them with Grado SR60 headphones too.
    RE: Classical Music & Bitrate
    I’m sure you will get several if not many responses. You may also find they vary with the preference of the individual. However there are some rules of thumb. Generally speaking I think you will indeed find the higher the bit rate brings you closer to the CD sound.
    Certainly, 32-bit rate does not offer very good sound quality. Actually going from 32 to 320 should have been noticeably better, if not…. Then you’re in good shape. Because what you don’t know is there, can’t be missed.
    Also, the bit rate is only part of the equation. What format codec <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=51910> are your songs ripped to.
    Consider the following - iPod: About compatible song formats
    <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61476>
    MP3 (from 32 Kbps to 320 Kbps)
    MP3 Variable Bit Rate (VBR)
    AIFF
    WAV
    M4A AAC
    Apple Lossless Encoder
    It sounds to me as though your songs may be in MP3 format. As a suggestion you might try ripping your CD’s to 128 AAC format. The general consensus is that AAC is better than MP3. Give it a shot…for the heck of it, and see what you think.
    Finally in the end…..it matters little what we all might think….If you think your sounds are better ripped at a MP3 320 bit rate……Great. If not…experiment, and play around till you find what sounds wonderful to you!
    RE: Classical Music & Bitrate
    Sorry for taking so long to get back to this thread: had two twelve-hour work days in a row.
    I did a Get Info on a typical piece in my iTunes and got this
    Kind: AAC Audio File
    Bit Rate: 128kb (have some at 192 & 2 or 3 at 320)
    Sample Rate: 44.100 kHz
    Profile: Low Complexity
    Channels: Stereo
    Volume: +2.3
    I was troubled that one responder couldn't tell the difference among 128, 160, 192, and 320 bitrates even using Grado SR60 headphones!
    And another seems to be of a similar opinion when he says that I think that anything above 192 kbps (mp3 format) is not significantly better (and not worth the larger file size). Does this apply to AAC format, too?
    However, I am going to continue to add tunes at the 320 bitrate - for a while - because I swear that I can tell a difference when I play them over my car radio via the cassette adapter.

  • Help me on choosing the best sound quality for my music on my itunes!!!

    I heard that AIFF Encoder is the best sound quality you can import your music into Itunes. On the settings for AIFF Encoder do you know what Sample Rate, Sample Size, and what Channel I should set it to? Should I just leave them on Auto? How about if I have a HDCD? What are your suggestions?

    I agree use Apple Lossless. Bizarrely it is also easier to share Apple Lossless with Windows Media Player than AIFF.
    I have my entire iTunes library in Apple Lossless and shared with WMP and also Media Center 2005. I can also use it in full lossless quality with Roku SoundBridge, Apple TV, iPhone, iPod, etc. etc. etc.

  • Creating the Best Video Quality for YouTube Using FCE

    Hey guys, have a quick question.  I'm making drum covers for YouTube, and I want the best possible quality for my viewers.  I use Final Cut Express 4.0.1 on my MacBook Pro, and Log and Transfer the video footage from a HDR-CX160 Sony AVCHD Handycam.   What are my best options? 
    Thank you!
    Justin

    In every aspect of life there is no such thing as one best option as it all depends on your particular circumstances.
    Here is a good starting point for you to decide what suits you best.
    When you have edited your project in FCE try these settings:-
    Select File>Export>Using QT Conversion.
    Click the "Options"  button and when the the Options window opens you will see  "Size", "Settings" and "Sound" buttons.
    Click the Size button and set 1920 x 1080
    Click  the Settings button and  select:-
    Compression Type . . . . H.264
    Frame Rate . . . . . . . . . Current
    Key Frames . . . . . . . . . Automatic
    Compressor Quality . . . High
    Encoding . . . . . . . . . . "Faster" encode will give almost the same quality as "Best" but is twice as fast - your decision!
    Data Rate . . . . . . . . . . Restrict to 10,000kbps  (Don't use a comma when you enter the number)
    Then click the "Audio" button and make sure that AAC has been selected.
    These settings should give very good quality results fairly quickly, which should play well. Your file size will be around 5GB per hour.
    Some people prefer to use the smaller 1280 x 720, in which case the Data Rate should be 5,000kbps.
    I suggest you do a quick test with a film under one minute long to see how it looks as there is nothing worse than spending hours encoding a long project only to find that the settings were unsuitable.

  • How achieve highest playback quality from shared iMovie HDV Project?

    I have a Sony HDR-HC9 1080i HDV tape camcorder and I am able to play back HD video to either a Mac computer or to a Panasonic Full HD 1080p TV. Playback quality of unedited HD holiday video footage to TV using HDMI cable and to the computer via Firewire is superb. This excellent playback quality is also preserved in an edited iMovie Project in HDV format 57 minutes long and 48 GB in size which I made from the original 90 minutes holiday video footage.
    The problems arose in trying to preserve this high quality when sharing the iMovie Project. Before I bought this HDV camcorder I had a Sony DV tape camcorder and I always used to make an archive tape from an edited DV Project by exporting the iMovie Project back to tape. However, when attempting to do the same with this latest HDV 48 GB Project the computer message informed me that it would take about 43 hours to do this. So that is out of the question!
    Next I decided to make a Quicktime movie from the iMovie HDV Project using Full Quality compression via Apple Intermediate Codec (1440 x 1080). This took 12 hours to do! Computer viewing of the resultant 44 GB movie gave excellent image sharpness in still views, but for views of moving objects and also panned footage from the camera, closer viewing showed fine comb-outlining on most objects, but especially on narrow vertical objects. Is this what some of you call "jaggies" and is it an interlacing artifact? Whatever it is it was NOT in the iMovie Project but was introduced by the compression process Project->>Movie. Still worse was the jerky playback of the movie. The "IMovie Inspector" info confirmed that the movie had been made during the compression process at 25 frames per second whereas playback was in the range of only 3 to 10 fps! Previously made shorter Quicktime HD movies have not shown this jerky playback and played at 25 fps. Can anyone explain why this jerky playback occurred with the the longer 44GB movie?
    Finally I made a DVD by dragging the uncompressed iMovie HD Project icon directly onto a DVD theme in iDVD and burning. The result was OK on both the computer and on TV but not great. Close viewing on the computer showed an effect which looked like a thin film of water rippling horizontally. This effect also showed in TV viewing of the DVD. Interestingly, this effect was almost eliminated when "Deinterlace" was UNCHECKED in the iDVD player viewing options.
    My own conclusion is that the highest quality for archiving and playback is achieved by storing the large edited iMovie HDV PROJECT on an external hard drive and playing it back at full screen size on the Mac computer. In this way the iMovie editing functions such as the Timeline are hidden from view and cause no distraction when watching the superb HDV quality.
    IS THERE A BETTER WAY?
    Please comment and advise.

  • How to get best possible quality ?

    Hey whats up!
    I wonder how can i get a best possible quality out of After Effects? I dont care about size , i just want best quality.
    Every time i record PC gameplay then i edit a little bit on After effects , but when i render it it loses some quality and when i upload on Youtube its not even 1080p. I mean i have option in youtube to watch it in 1080p but quality is not 1080p! Any advice?
    Thanks!

    At the moment, this isn't about "quality", this is about horizontal and vertical dimensions of the video, and guess what?  You don't even MENTION them! Maybe you ought to try looking up those properties of your video clips and reporting back in.....

  • Problems with playback quality of animated DVD on television

    I'm sending a ~20 minute (uncompressed, millions of colors) animation in QuickTime out of Final Cut Express HD in a format of HD-1080i and trying to get a very high resolution DVD for television (HD TV). Before taking the QuickTime video to any DVD writing software the aspect ratio (16:9) is correct and resolution is immaculate.
    However, all my efforts to get a super-high resolution DVD of this animation, whether I go through iMovie or only to iDVD have gotten me a lot of written and wasted DVDs in my tests. The resolution is very poor.
    QUESTION:
    How do I get a very complex animation that requires very intense color and clarity to a DVD for playback on a HD TV using my software? In my arsenal is Final Cut Express-HD vers. 3, iLIfe '06 incl. iMovie and iDVD, Toast (if needed).
    Please advise.

    HHHMMM….. where to start. First, you can’t possibly
    hold yourself to commercial quality unless you have a
    commercial budget.
    I don't expect commercial quality - just to be able to display the millions of colors and the extreme clarity on any TV and even better still on a HDTV. So far I only can get the quality I seek on a computer display. All my efforts to find a solution for television playback have resulted in a fuzzy and jerky animated feature. Here again I'm not looking for commercial quality - just clear, crisp and smooth.
    Hollywood spends millions on
    feature films. Compression hardware alone can run
    several thousands if not hundreds of thousands of
    dollars. Compared to iDVD included in a $79 software
    suite? However, even the Hollywood produced DVDs must
    rely on the DVD specification and as such, 1080i is
    currently lost on them. So your answer to “isn’t iDVD
    supposed to write anything I give it” is that if iDVD
    takes your QT file (Which BTW, should be in the DV
    format) it WILL compress it to a DVD MPEG 2 compliant
    file. This means 720x480.
    But I don't want any compression other than the final step MPEG2. And after reading this reply today - THANK YOU - THANK YOU - I at least understand now that I can't even use iDVD because it doesn't offer MPEG2 as a compressor.
    I have located a mpeg2 encoder program that is shareware and will try to find a formule to use after iMovie HD additions of themes and chapters.
    So the first step to take
    is to recognize the limitations of equipment and
    understand the standards. So now we should examine
    the workflow to see if there is anything that can be
    done. Other than knowing what Flash is, I don’t know
    much about it. Can you select a frame size for doing
    your animations? If so, guess what, use the 720x480
    frame size. This is what iDVD is going to make it
    (again, FCP may offer more options to you but that
    isn’t listed in your arsenal).
    Final Cut Pro isn't needed for what I'm doing, is it? I have already gotten exquisite playback quality for computers using FCE HD and I'm now trying to get the playback quality on a TV as good as I can get it.
    Next, from within FCE,
    do not change the settings when exporting via QT. You
    want to export it as it is in FCE, you don’t want to
    change it. iDVD is expecting a DV file. Any other
    file and quality will likely take a hit. Finally, why
    DVDs? Flash is typically web based. And computer
    monitors have a much higher resolution than a TV.
    Flash is generally web based but it can be used to produce a single QuickTime movie if the elements are primarily drawings as my animated feature is. Then on to Final Cut Express all of my imported clips are in QuickTime and thus are already compresssed by QuickTime's excellent compressor. I found that I do not get a good result if I allow any further compression - at least not on computer displays - as long as I export with QT conversion, compression none, millions of colors and specify the size I want it to maintain.
    You
    could output your Files and serve them up via a data
    DVD to be played on a computer. Just curious.
    I am already getting excellent playback quality on computers but now I need playback quality on any television because it is not intended only for computers.
    Mike
    Thanks Mike. You've already been a help in getting me away from iDVD for this project. iMovie may be OK still because its "HD". Got any more suggestions for my situation?

  • Poor CD playback quality with iTunes 7.2.0.35.

    When I play CDs using iTunes the playback is very poor. There are popping sounds that are really annoying. There may also be a slight distortion.
    The playback on Windows Media player is fine and the playback with Ubuntu (dual boot) sounds good as well.
    Importing from CD works fine. The playback quality is good.
    Why is iTunes CD playback quality so poor?

  • Changing playback quality to 1/4 does not work for this one clip...

    So, I've recently ran into a really annoying problem when editing one of my videos, even though I click the 1/4 playback quality, this one clip still plays in full. My recording setup has not changed, I still and have always been using my iPod Touch and this is the first time I encountered this

    It's likely that the resolution of the footage from the iPod Touch is much higher than the rest of your clips. In this case, the other clips will appear to be much more pixelated than the one from the iPod when you turn down the playback resolution.
    Rest assured that the iPod footage is being affected by the resolution setting, even though it might not be as visually obvious as the other clips.

  • C4280 defaults to Best print quality in Excel

    Hi,
    My C4280 for some reason always defaults to best print quality in Excel - other programs are OK. I have created several short cuts with draft print quality.
    I can change the setting to draft , print it in draft, close the document then open it again & it will want to print in  Best quality. 

    Thanks Michael for your generally good advice. I actually answered my own question about setting up the highest quality print by performing the steps I outlined in the second paragraph of my initial post. After printing a couple of samples and studying the results with a loupe, I found saving the TIFFs with Zip compression as opposed to the maximum quality JPEG. files was the way to go although almost no one would know the difference without intense scrutiny. Honestly I'd prefer Adobe offer LZW instead of Zip as the option for how Acrobat deals with TIFF files but perhaps there's a technical reason which would preclude that option.
