Blurry Titles within Titler, even blurrier on Timeline

I know there are a lot of documented issues about blurry text and titles after rendering. I am encountering blurry titles within the Titler interface, and on the timeline in Premiere Pro CS6. It is just white text on a black background, nothing has been scaled up or transformed or anyway, but the text is just totally crappy looking. It will probably look ok when you look at the small screenshot cap below, but if you look at it at 100%, you can see that the text is blurry and there are broken horizonal lines.
Perhaps it will render out ok, but I'm still mystefied why Adobe would put out such a sub-par program.

Ok, this is what I did:
Open Adobe Premiere Pro CS6
New Project > DV - NTSC > Standard 48 kHz
Dragged an image onto video track 1
Title > New Title > Default Still > Video Settings: 720 x 480, 29.97fps drop-frame, pixel aspect ratio D1/DV NTSC (0.9091)
Inside Titler: Area Type Tool, drag area inside title safe area
Typed some text
Changed font family to Adobe Garamond Pro, font size 60, background of black
Adjusted text area to be at the bottom of the text safe area
Closed Titler window
In sequenced, dragged title to video track 2
When I delete the image from video track 1, the text does look better -- still blurry, but the broken lines go away. But ultimately I need to have the text over the image (no background) -- I just used the black background to isolate the text for this experiment.
I rendered out this arrangement (title with black background over image), and the broken lines weren't there in the render; however, the text was still noticeably blurry.

Titles stretched in the timeline in Premiere Pro CS6

I think it has something to do with the aspect ratio but this was never a problem before for me. I did check the aspect ratio and made sure it was the same, but when I bring the title in to the timeline it's stretched wide. When I'm editing the title it looks fine, but when I bring it in, it stretches. Somehow it worked for me on the last video in the series but when I bring it in for the next video in the series with all the same properties it stretches again. I'm up to date with my software. Is anyone else having this issue with titles?

Can you take some screen shots of the preview area with the title selected and with your sequence selected. Then we can have more info to troubleshoot.

Can anybody help please How do I Format address panel in iCal to show Department from the address book. At the moment it is showing 'Job Title' even though that has been removed in Address Book.

I have a similar problem. I actually spoke with a Paypal customer Representative a few months back who informed me that they had deleted all of my previous *Hidden* Address but when I just purchased an item today on a online merchant's site that I had never been to before and checked out using their Paypal option, I noticed that my default shipping address was in fact my old address and when I went to change the address to my current address, I noticed all of the old addresses I ever used were still there. I've just spoken with 2 separate paypal representatives who confirmed on their end that all of the old address have been deleted and the only one they have on file is my current address. Can anyone provide me an explanation as to why the old hidden address can still be showing up when I check out on merchant's sites using paypal even after they've seemingly been deleted? The last Representative suggested clearing out my browser's cache, but I don't believe that will resolve my issue. Thank you in advance.

Cannot see the video behind the title even though I select the option to do so, what am I missing?

hauntnh,
I assume you're referring to the fifth video, "Add a title to your video." Did you drag the title to the V2 track, as explained at 2:33 in the video? Also, if your main video in the V1 track is not sitting below your title clip in V2, you won't see the video behind the title because there won't be anything behind your title.

Is there a PS setting where it can read my Canon Mark 3 5D's monochrome setting so that the files will also appear in monochrome instead of colour? Or do I have to change from RAW each time to Monochrome within PS (even if I have set up for Monochrome in

Is there a PS setting where it can read my Canon Mark 3 5D's monochrome setting so that the files will also appear in the same monochrome structure (instead of appearing in colour as it is now when i open in PS, not even monochrome)? Or do I have to change from RAW each time to Monochrome within PS (even if I have set up for Monochrome in my 5D)?
1. Basically I am taking photos with a monochrome setting with my 5D and the screen shows monochrome.
2. when i import this onto my computer and open with PS, it opens in colour.
3. when I change this to Monochrome in PS. (It cannot read my monochrome setting with my preference of the greyscale mix when I viewed it on my 5D)
4. my question is: is there a way so that PS can read the monochrome setting from my 5D and display the same monochrome setting as my 5D instead of a different one from PS.

you need camera raw 6.7 or better.
i don't know what version of ps you have so i can't say if it can be updated to use that, but update anyway.

.mov file from Canon 5D Mark II file blurry in Timeline

Haven't use FC in quite a while, so I'm a bit rusty.
When I import a clip into FC, it looks fine in the Viewer, but when I move it into the timeline it looks blurry in the Canvas. It remains blurry even after rendering and even after exporting with no compression. The file is a .mov file from a Canon 5D Mark II. I tried exporting it from QT as a QT file with no compression, as well as just importing the uncompressed .mov file, but nothing works. I'm sure it's something simple.
Thanks for any help!

Scramble song title even changing the ID3 tag

Song title is all scramble up after adding in to Itunes.. why ? espcially the chinese charactors....

The iTunes Help Menu as well as the forums is a great resource for information about iTunes and "how to".
From the iTunes Help Menu:
Editing song information:
When you're connected to the Internet, you can retrieve information about the songs on a CD from Gracenote CDDB (CD database) on the Internet. You can also enter song information into iTunes yourself, or change the information that was retrieved.
1. Select the song you want to edit, then choose File > Get Info.
2. Click Info.
3. Make your changes to the song information, then click OK.
By default, changing information in iTunes also changes the name of the song on your hard disk. To make changes in iTunes without changing the files on your hard disk, choose iTunes > Preferences, then click the Advanced button and click General. Then click to remove the checkmark next to Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized.
You can also make global changes by selecting a group of songs the key board short cut of CMD-I (Apple Key +I).

Hi - tv slideshows don't display Titles even when selected and play fine on my Mac.

Is there a setting I'm missing in iPhoto?
Thanks, Tom

+" ... Is there a way to make the audio device recognize the camera and play the audio through the speakers during capture? ..."+
Simple answer - no. FCE has never played the audio during DV video capture. FCE captures both the video and the audio but does not play the audio during capture. You can see your video capture but there will not be any audio. It's always been this way with FCE.
Possible workaround - if your camera has analog (a/v) outputs, you might try connecting the analog audio out to your audio interface at the same time it is connected via FW to your Mac during capture. It may or may not work. Many miniDV cams can be set for DV out or analog out but not both at the same time. Depends on what your camcorder supports.

Premiere CS4 Crashes every time I try to trim a title in the timeline!!!!!

I am using a .psd file with a 65% opacity setting in the video 2 timeline and placing a series of title boxes over it to use as caption to a how to videos of a lab protocol. you cab take a look at what I'm doing at http://149.250.6.10/sandbox.asp Every damn time I try to do anything to a title box on the timeline, the damn application crashes. I am using an HP z800 with 12 gb of ram, and an aja card for realtime screen playback. Is there anyone who can offer some advice please? this is so frustrating. I wasted my entire saturday fighting this. The error reads "Premiere Pro has encountered an error. [..\..\Src\LegacyTime.cpp-91]

I am having exactly the same problem. Any help would be much appreciated

Some genres are empty even though all titles have been synchronized.

Some genres are empty, other genres do not show all titles - even though all titles have been synchronized. I have already reset my ipod but the problem remains. Can anybody help me out?

Only the songs or playlists or selections that you have checked for syncing will be copied to the iPod. It is, therefore, natural that if you browes your iPod it will not contain all the Genres you see in iTunes.
If you did select the Genres in iTunes for syncing (and they are actually populated with songs), then there's something else that's wrong. One step at a time...

Movie width expands when viewed in QT7, blurry

Hi Guys!
New to the forum and to iMovie, although lost in both for DAYS. Just got iMovie 4 to edit clips from client's dvd for use in Powerpoint and Web movies (not making movies from camera or for TV viewing). Everything is blurry in iMovie--clips (pulled from VOB with MPEGstreamclip), iMovie-generated titles, even photos from photoshop (regardless of orig resolution). Whatever export format or program my edited clips are view in, the ratchet effects remain.
Plus, even though when previewed in iMovie the height/width ratio is correct (albeit blurry), when viewed in Quicktime (7) or exported, the movie stretches widthwise, further enhancing the funhouse mirror effect.
I'm hope this stuff is elementary to you all--cause my head is about to fall off. Can anyone offer some wisdom?

IMovie display is just a preview -- it is not full quality display.
The same applies also to QT Player -- by default it shows a low-resolution deinterlaced image. You have to turn on high quality via the display options. ...And doing so may reveal those interlacing comb lines that are normal but look ugly on a computer monitor.
Always judge the quality via a TV monitor. A computer monitor can just imitate the correct interlacing, overscan or gamma.
The .dv clip is PAL 720x576 or NTSC 720x480. It uses rectangular pixels so by default the aspect ratio is wrong when viewed via the QT Player. iMovie automatically scales the image to (approximately) the correct ratio.
You can scale it to square pixel ratio in QT Player. With PAL you must scale to 788x576. With NTSC scale to 656x480. Often this is then cropped to PAL 768x576 or NTSC 640x480.

Changing title background?

PRE 7
If I start off by dragging title generic1_title to the timeline (as a blue swirly background), I get a title added to my project as expected.
Question: If I don't like the background behind the title text, can I change it somehow? I can't seem to find a way to modify the background of the included titles.
Bruce.

Bruce,
I do not know of any way to change the
i Background
image in a preset Title. Unfortunately, I have never found any way to edit a PRTL (Title) file - Photoshop (and nothing else that I have found) will not do it.
However, the best way to do this is to find a a "blank" Title, where you like the style of the text and use it over any "background" image that you want, thus creating the same effect.
Using the same principle, you can go to the menu bar and choose Title>Default Still, then work on your text, adding treatments to it. Place it over the image of your choice and you have the same thing.
For Ed, this is how I'd recommend creating your CC Titles. In the Titler, you can create various Shapes below your text to get what I think you are asking for.
For heavy Style application, one could create a Title as an Image in Photoshop. Choose the appropriate File>New preset for your Project's preset. You can bring in any other image as your "background," and then add the text with the Type Tool. There, you can do any number of Style modifications to the Type Layer. You can also add any number of Shapes and other graphic effects. Save your PSD (with all Layers intact), then Save_As and choose TIFF, unless you need transparency. For that, I'd probably go with PNG, but TGA should give you what you want. Import that into PE. You could also "punch holes" in the TIFF (not really using transparency), by doing something with the Track Matte Effect.
PE's Titler is nice, but lacks some power. P-Pro's is not that much different, or better. The "library" Titles, etc., are often good starting points, but one can do so very much more in Photoshop (even the PSE version), that I find it to be a better tool, when doing anything out of the ordinary.
There are also 3rd party Titlers, like Bluff Titler and ProDAD's Heroglyph Titler. These really come into their own when one is animating the Titles. For general purpose Titles, I always go to Photoshop. These can also have a little animation, just nothing quite like the 3rd party apps. Actually, PE's text-animation tools do more than P-Pro can do without a lot of manually placed Keyframes.

Safari 8.0 Title Bar missing?

I just updated to Yosemite 10.10.1 and got Safari 8.0 in the bargain.
It's working fine, except there are no title bars on the top of the page. At the very top, I have the RYG traffic light, and next to it my buttons and the search field, but the title bar, which should be above that and display the page title, is missing. There doesn't seem to be a preference or option for this. Am I missing something?
I can't believe Apple did away with something so useful (although their "improvements" aren't always an improvement), so I'm assuming there's something wrong and it's not just a new "feature"
Thanks for any replies.

There are several things about the appearance of yosemite that I don't like, and I just started using it. Mainly the title bars of most applications are so blandly indistinguishable, when I want to click on a title bar and move a window, I often click on the wrong thing, often popping a different window to the top that I don't want...
Now when in Safari, I don't know where I am in within a site unless I click on the url box… Maybe there is a preference setting, so much to figure out.
As for your complaint, I think it is that you cannot see the complete descriptive title of the web page when several tabs are open. If you just place the mouse curser on the tab, and leave it there for a second or two (be patient!), the complete title appears in a pop up display box. If you move to another tab after that, usually the display box comes up without the 1-2 second delay. Usually, but not always. Usually, but not always? I'm still figuring some of this out. If you move on top the "x" close box, it eventually pops up an entirely different message, and sometimes when you get that, then it doesn't pop up the title even if you move off the box, you have to move completely off that tab and then back on again.
I've always hated the close box within the tab : When using tabs, if you want to view the web page that has a tab, then click on tab, EXCEPT don't click anywhere on the left part of the tab otherwise you might click on the previously invisible close box which then does the opposite of what you want, it closes the tab! It is a bit better in Firefox, but still bad design.
The descriptive title pop up thing worked in the old safari, at least in 6.2, also.
When only one tab is open, I'm not sure how to see the descriptive title at all, except go to the top menu bar and click on window, and look at what has the check mark? Time to experiment with preferences. Grrr.

Shortening a title sequence

I know this is a dumb question, but how do you shorten a title sequence without keeping all the elements. For example, if you use the "winners cricle" title, there are 5 text lines. I only want to use 2 out of the 5, so how do I delete the other 3? I tried all basic thoughts like the razor blade and trim tool, but all it does is shorten then length of the title, but keep all 5 lines of text. Even if I delete the text, it will just effect to a blank page and keep all 5 lines of text. Help! Thanks!

Select the title clip in the timeline and place the playhead so you can see the text you want to remove. Double click the text in the viewer and use the delete key on your keyboard to remove it or select the title tab in the inspector and highlight the text to be removed and again use the delete key. Once you unselect the title in the timeline the bounding box around the empty text box will disappear. You can trim the title clip to whatever length you want to set the length of time it will be displayed.

How to create a Custom List without the column "Title" ?

Maybe this one is easy as it sounds, I just want to know how to create a little list for my SharePoint application featuring 3 columns:
1 - User Name (this should be Person type - UNIQUE + Required)
2 - Report (Memo - Required)
3 - Status (Choice + Required)
The list will be used to allow the users to submit a weekly report and I don't want to include the title because there is no use to me, I know I can hide the column by customizing the list but this sounds very amateur even for a newbie like me (yeah... sounds
so cheap!), since I've been reading a lot about custom content types and I still didn't get the chance to use this properly I was wondering how I could put them to use and I guess the example here would be the best right?
I really spent some time trying but I always end getting the Title even when I try to use custom content types so I'm really giving up and asking for some help at this point.
Thanks a lot for the help!!!

Yes, you can do that. If you need a different content type with your custom fields. Following are the steps : http://www.dotnetcurry.com/ShowArticle.aspx?ID=620
After creating your custom Content Type, Click on the 'Title' filed in your custom content type.
In the 'Column Settings' make it 'Hidden (Will not appear in forms)' and click ok.
Now add this content type to your list/library.
In the list/Library go to setting and 'Advance settings' and make the 'Allow management of Content Type?' as 'yes' and click ok.
Now make default content type not visible from 'Change new button order and default content type' link in the settings page of list/library, and your contet type as 'Default'.
Create a new view, remove the 'Title' field and make that view as 'dafault' view, you can delete the 'All Items' view also if required.
Now whenever user come to that list/Library they will not see the title column and also will not appear in the 'New Item'.
Note : The 'Title' field is mandatory in all the list/library and by default added to the 'All Item' view. So, by doing above steps you are creating a new content type where 'Title' is not mandatory and also not added in default view.
