Can motion 5 fix bad video color/quality?

Hi, I have learned just about all I think I can from imovie and want to start using our own family videos to create movies. I've found that our digital video I am starting with (from 2009) is not in good quality. I am thinking of purchasing motion 5 because I want to do more than imovie allows, however I can't seem to find anything that staes if motion 5 can fix grainy / off color video.
Can someone answer this for me please.
Thanks so much!

How good are you at Photoshop "tricks"?
Cloning media and overlaying filter effects can optically improve a fair amount... but there is a limit to how far you can push it.
Motion contains Gaussian blur and Highpass filters (blurs to smooth graininess, highpass for sharpening edges.) There are also plenty of color correction filters, and Hue Saturation can correct color-shift. Use Blend Modes to mix the effects into the original.
Here's a list of Motion's "color correction" filters:
[image shows extra categories not available in the default install of Motion]
And the available blend modes:
Many of these are the same as you would find in Photoshop (and other image editing applications.)
You have to know how to build the "repair layers" you'd need. There are no quick drop'n'fix type effects available, but if you know how, you can do a lot in the way of your own repair work. Research some photoshop tutorials on the subject.

Can I fix a video I received that is very pixilated .....blocky

Can I fix a video I received as a message that came very pixelated......blocky....the video can't be resent, they deleted it by mistake on their end

Try the video in different media players - VLC, QuickTime, MplayerX - and if the quality is the same in each you can conclude that the video is either damaged or was re-encoded to a low resolution before being sent. Either way, you need the original.

Can I fix the green color in the middle of my screen?

Over the past several months, I've been noticing a dark shape in the middle of my screen, but it hasnt affected anything so I haven't been concerned with it. Now, it has turned into a pale shade of green that are two circles in the middle of my screen. It's hard to see them when my screen is more of a lighter color, but when I start watching movies or working in something with a darker background, they become much more noticable. Is this something that I can go into the Apple Store and get fixed? If so, how much would that cost? Or is this something that is unfixable and would have to buy a new computer?

There could be one of two things wrong - either your screen is shot or your GPU has gone awry. If the screen is at fault, it's still an expensive fix but not as bad if the problem with the GPU. The screen can be replaced, but with the GPU, if it's faulty, you're looking at an entire logic board replacement.
Only the Apple techs will know, so make an appointment at your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them run free diagnostics and give you an estimate for repair.
Good luck,

Bad export color quality

Hello,
when i finish to edit my video, I export my video and the black color is too bad .
There is a way to fix it?
Thanks
P.S:
My video:
http://youtu.be/Sdn_JHSMhbc?t=10s

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The black border looks OK to me on you tube, unless you mean you don't want it there.
If so select the affected clips in the project window and choose the crop tool from the central tool bar, with the crop option selected in the preview window, select the allow black border to disable it.

Can motion mask a video file with a greyscale zdepth map ?

Like so http://www.deathfall.com/article.php?sid=5039
Or Like Photoshops Mask layer tool, ?
Or in other words. Take one color layer and one zdepth layer(greyscale) and mask out all of the black

Heya,
The Image Mask tool allows you to mask an object using the Red, Green, Blue, Alpha or Luminance channels of another object. Just select the object you want to mask, go to Object->Add Image Mask and you're good to go.
Also, the Compound Blur filter allows you to blur an object in the same manner (in case you want to do a depth-of-field blur).
Good luck!

How can I fix the video player on my professional website so people can see my work?

the plug in will not work. Windows 11. Tried many times.

You specify to use the Windows Media Player (type="application/x-mplayer2"), but you haven't installed the WMP plugin or this plugin is disabled or not found.
You can install the new WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll)

* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Windows_Media_Player#Missing_plugin
* http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/windows-media-player-firefox-plugin-download
There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.

How can I fix Bad Font Detected dialog box

Hi, I Installed some font books a few months ago then change hard drives, so I moved some of the fonts to the new HDD. After that I started getting this annoying error boxes with this information:
http://www.redgizmo.net/errors/BadFontError.png
This errors (with different fonts) appear some times when I open Illustrator, photoshop, InDesign or some times when I open Safari. I can't find the error path on my computer and I don't know how to get rid of those. Please help.
Someone know how can get rid of the errors?
Thank you

Hello pv:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I suggest you run fontbook (located in your application folder). That should tell you which fonts are corrupted/problematic.

Retrieve what video resolutions(quality) a youtube video has, with youtube api or packet analysis

a youtube video is usually with multiple video resolutions (quality) like 240p, 360p,720p,etc how can I retrieve what video resolutions(quality) a youtube video has are there any youtube api which can get this information
I think If I capture the packets when I'm watching a video, by analysing the packets, definitely I can know what resolution this video provides but I don't know which part the packet provide this information does anyone know this? thanks!

I am no iPhone expert, but I believe it has to do with what connection you are using.
I noticed this the other day, I watched a YouTube vid the other day connected to my home wifi, and it looked amazing. Then I went to show a co-worker the same vid while on the 3g network. It looked like crap, all large pixels and blury. Anyway that is what I noticed.

Bad video - how can I fix it?

I have two tv spots sent by my client, a large chain of electronics stores. I need to use the clips in a in house training DVD I am creating for them.
My first problem is that both videos have some corrupted frames. If I play them in anything except VLC, the video goes very chunky for a few seconds several times. For reasons that I don't understand, VLC plays both clips perfectly.
Is there some way I can then fix the problem? I noticed VLC does have some export functionality but I can't figure out what settings to use.
Secondly, the clips are encoded as DIVX. Yes I know that DIVX is evil but this is all they can get from their contacts with panasonic and samsung. They have returned to them twice and have been told they can't send them anything else.
I can import them into after effects and convert them but I wonder why After Effects can import DIVX clips while Encore cannot. Why must I go through the process of rendering them out again in After Effects?

> Send them back to the client and tell him to supply you with editable material, not the crap he sent you. If they can't give you editable material all bets are off and they have to double your budget and no guarantees it will work. Then try whatever is available to you, including rerendering in AE.
Seconded.

Did Apple fix the video quality issue in iMovie '09?

I am a casual video editor and iMovie 08 had the perfect user experience / functionality for what I want to do.
However, the known video quality issue (throwing away interlaced scan lines) made the result unacceptable since I archive our family video on DVDs. I have been forced to use iMovie HD for that reason. I have tried tricks such as converting the original DV files to AIF and deinterlace prior to import into iMovie08 but that did not seem to work either.
So does anyone know if Apple fixed the video quality issue in iMovie '09.
MESSAGE TO APPLE IF YOU ARE LISTENING:
Please fix the video quality in iMovie09 if not already. Yes, the quality is ok for YouTube or Internet video but for those of us who want simple editing to archive our family video we cannot accept poor video quality. Dropping an interlace field effectively halves the vertical resolution. Thank you.

Please explain this in more detail when you say Adaptive Deinterlacer. Are you talking about another program? If so, what program and what are the specific steps.
Also, sounds like you are recommending imovie09. By saying to do the above, are you saying imovie09 still causes you too loose significant quality like imovie08? Are you saying you can use imovie08 or imovie09 with these steps to get high quality video or just imovie09? I guess I just need more specifics on how you do what you are describing and how imovie09 fits into this versus imovie08. I joined this whole discussion trying to figure out if upgrading imovie09 made a difference regarding the whole quality issue. I know it has more features, but I am more concerned about he quality of the video right now. Thanks.

Still bad video quality

even is catalyst cs 5.5 two of my problems do not resolve.
bad video quality in fullscreen. i have some videos for offline view (768x576 @ 2600 kbps) but still fullscreen view is messed up, all blocky, not proper video interpolation. in vlc or any other player the flv file looks fine!
the videos also have a 4:3 ratio and show white borders in fullscreen on a 16:9 screen in letterbox, how can make the borders black?
is there any solution?

Hi
as example
Creating a PAL movie in iMovie HD 6 then import this into a NTSC iDVD project
• Works but with a losy quality
I do use JESDeinterlacer3.2.2 and let this do the PAL to NTSC conversion
Now burned as an NTSC iDVD project
• Best result possibly without buying PRO-applications for $$$$$$$
This way should work the other way around too.
Most modern PAL DVD-players can playback NTSC (if TV is old in Bl/W)
Most modern NTSC DVD-players can't playback PAL
If playbacked on a Mac PAL or NTSC is of no interest.

Bad video quality via Quick Player and Apple TV

I have been watching videos via Quick Player from my MacBookPro and Apple TV for some time in excellent quality. Suddenly now the picture quality has dropped significantly
Quality is still good if I watch via I tunes, but Itunes does not import .avi videos
How can I fix it?

there are many third party apps that will do it.
also, if you are able to get the video into itunes as it currently is, then you can right click on it and choose "create appletv version".

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.

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Make sure that y do not leave any foreign material or leave anything in the jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Replace the jack yourself
