Chromakey footage looks TERRIBLE after upload but perfect in media player??

This is a bit of a disaster but I have been learning to key using adobe after effects then use lightworks for a few other touches before using it to export as "Youtube" which I think is h.264?
The videos come out low size great quality.. but then I uploaded them to Youtube and Vimeo, I literally had to delete every video because around the edges of the talent was a 2cm thick distortion like a blurred halo.. can't begin to guess why.
Can anyone make any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks, very educational replies, have benefited me and will benefits others who search for answers online.
I spent the last few hours doing an experiment. I decided to upload the footage without ANY keying - just from the camera and through media encoder - the footage was STILL DISTORTED.
So I went onto Youtube, found and downloaded a perfect video by somebody else and brought it into after efforts to export for Youtube and re-uploaded it.. it was distorted!!

So it's not my camera not my chroma keying, something is happening during export in Adobe media encoder even though I tried numerous export options.
I ran "MediaInfo" over that other guys "perfect" Youtube video and then all mine.
There is something below causing all of this!!!

  • Why does my progressive footage look interlaced after export?

    I've searched all the discussions on this topic and my issue seems to be very paticular...
    I have imported AVCHD 1080p footage (29.97fps and 1.3333pas) into Premiere Pro CS4 Version 4.2.1. I placed this footage into a AVCHD 1080p anamorphic, 29.97fps, 1.333pas, progressive scan sequence. I exported the sequence out with a H.264 codec, 1440x1080p HQ preset and changed the frame rate to 29.97 and the field order says None (Progressive) and my footage when screened on the computer in a Media Player looks interlaced eventhough the raw footage does not look interlaced at all. I even interpreted the footage for all the clips used in the sequence to conform to No Fields (Progressive Scan) Field Order.
    Did I leave something out? What am I doing wrong?
    I will say that one clip in the sequence was edited in AE and rendered our as a .MOV with a PNG compression type and it does not look interlaced in the final export from Premiere Pro.

    So I figured what the problem was...here at my job the manual that was available for the sony handycam was from an older model. I did not know this. I looked up the actual manual online and it specifies that the recording mode I've been using to capture (HQ HD) is actually shooting AVCHD 1080/60i...so my original footage is really interlaced. Here's where I had my "Ah Ha" moment. I'm currently switching to an iMac from PC and when I viewed the raw footage on a PC in the Media Player, it looked progressive. BUT, when I just played back the raw footage on my Mac, it looked interlaced so I knew something was wrong.
    OK! so here I am trying to make 1080/60i footage look like 1080/30p this should be fairly easy correct?
    (also, thank you Jim for affirming that my process is in fact correct IF I was using said progressive raw footage which made me question the project at it's beginnings)

  • Animated Graphs looking terrible after exporting

    Hello Anyone,
    I've created an graph in Numbers and brought it across to Keynote and applied an animation effect. Then I exported as a Quicktime Movie using a few different Codecs. All look fine and crystal clear when played in Quicktime. But when I import it into FCP it appears okay in the viewer but terrible when in the Canvas even after rendering. I've tried exporting in various formats from FCP, but I'm still unable to get a satifactory result without it looking terrible. Surely there is a way?????

    OK...now for the second part...are you looking at this, and judging the quality of the image based on what you see in the Canvas? That is one of the worse places to judge the quality of the image.
    Shane's Stock Answer #2: Blurry playback
    ONLY JUDGE THE QUALITY OF YOUR MATERIAL ON AN EXTERNAL NTSC MONITOR, OR AT LEAST A TV.
    The canvas shows you what happens after the codec you are working with has been applied. The viewer shows you the material in its native format.
    1. Disable overlays on the canvas
    2. Make sure you've rendered everything (no green bars at the top of the timeline
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=24787
    Video playback requires large amounts of data and many computations. In order to maintain frame rate and be viewable at a normal size, only about one-fourth of the DV data is used in displaying the movie to the screen. However, the DV footage is still at full quality, and is best viewed thru a TV or NTSC monitor routed thru your camera or deck.

  • Timeline Footage Looks terrible in timeline

    Hello!
    Im having difficulty in final cut pro, My captured footage looks absolutely terrible on the timeline and when its exported it’s in 4:3 and looks squished, What is the BEST outcome I can setup with this footage, Im a tad naive when it comes to codec’s etc, I literally have two days to get this project completely done and im really struggling on what settings I need as my two source materials are different size’s codecs etc.
    I have two sources of captured footage that Im editing between. the first is in:
    DV - PAL, 720 × 576, 4:3, 25 fps, 28.80 Mbps - Audio: DV stereo, 32 kHz, 28.80 Mbps
    The second camera’s footage is in:
    .mov Apple Intermediate Codec, 960 × 540, 25 fps, 29.43 Mbps - Audio: 16-bit Big Endian stereo, 48 kHz, 1.54 Mbps
    The sequence settings are set to:
    720x576, CCIR 601 / DVPAL (5:4)
    Pixel aspect ratio: PAL - CCIR 601 (720 x 576)
    Field Dominance: Lower
    Anamorphic 16:9: off (Tried exporting with this on and off)
    Compressor: Apple ProRes 422 (Was defaulted to DV PAL)
    I use Final Cut Pro     6.06 on an Old Macbook running OSX 10.5.8
    I have my mac plugged into an external TV as a monitor at 1920 x 1080
    The footage is being used on a projector for an audience, Either as a DVD or File, It may be used on the web later.
    Here is a screen grab of the DV footage in the timeline in final cut pro and opened up the source footage in quicktime side by side.

  • Help with exporting. Video looks horrible after export, but great when in premiere pro

    Hey guys, looking for some advice on exporting.
    When I finish a video, the color and everything looks great while in premiere pro, but after exporting it, the color ends up looking dull and the whole video looks blurry.  I'm filming with a canon vixia hf200 at 60i. It imports as a AVCHD file, I deinterlace it, and then export at the Vimeo HD settings. What can be causing the video to look horrible after exporting? What settings should I be exporting under? Any help would be appreciated!

    It looks like you're coming up against some of the colorspace handling issues that the Premiere pipeline has.
    Since your source is 60i AVCHD it's HD and thus rec709 colorspace. If it gets encoded with the standard rec601 colorspace (SD sizes are this) then all the colors get crushed. Look for a "709" and "601" radio button in your export settings. If it's not there you're out of luck.
    The "blurry" is probably a poor quality de-interlacer. If Vimeo permits interlaced vs progressive do that instead. it's always cleaner to stay in the same video format all the way through.
    TECHNICAL ASIDE:
    rec709 is a triangle of possible colors that can be expressed by mixing of ratios of 3 emitters (the R G B corners of the triangle). (they are the RGB phosphors of a CRT and now LCD pixel elements)
    rec709 is a bigger triangle than rec601 so it's capable of more colors. but if you accidently map that triangle's corners to the coordinates of rec601 it gets crushed.
    In photography the "sRGB" uses the rec709 triangle. A bigger triangle that that is "Adobe RGB". So if you work in Adobe RGB and export to sRGB without conversion the colors get crushed because sRGB in inside the triangle of "Adobe RGB".

    Some of the files WMA are protected some are not. When I uploaded itunes real player files transfered to itunes. How would I go in to change the settings in windows to unprotect the files to have them transfered to itunes. Help please

    iTunes will not accept Window Media player tracks that are protected. If you imported them off your own CDs, did you check the option to apply protection to them? If so, your only choice is to re-rip those CDs.

  • I'm new to FCPX and Compressor 4.  My HD video looks terrible when uploaded to YouTube and are no longer 720 or 1080p HD.  Are there codes or a secret handshake to have my HD video remain HD on youtube.  All help appreciated.

    I have been editing in FCP X 10.0.6 and have had success with that on my Mac Book Pro Retina.  But when I go to compress the 1 minute video detined for YouTube inputing that I wish for it to remain in HD (720 and or 1080p) via Compressor 4, the video compresses and I upload it to youtube via their uploader and when the video is played back it looks aweful.  Needless to say it is no longer HD and very blurry.  Is there any help you can give me with step by step codes to follow to ensure my 1 minute video is viewable in HD? I sure would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.  

    Thanks a million Russ for you time and input.  I have recompressed my project several times and that aspect has worked a charm.  But I seem to come unstuck when I upload my compressed video to youtube only.  All the presets seem fine and I have done it using either ProRes or Youtube/Vimeo HD options.  I have just left them on my desktop and uploaded to youtube via their uploader from there after sucessfully compressing them with Compressor 4.  Yet, there seems to be no improvement in the picture quality.  Mind you the sound is fine.  I will get busy with some screenshots if you still think they would be handy.  Many thanks again for your consideration. I really had hoped it was as simple as a secret handshake too. Darn. LOL  -RR

  • HD footage looks jagged after compressing to burn the DVD

    I finished the project in HD, I used compressor default settings for 90min hi quality to created 2mv files for DVD burning in SD. After burning the DVD I see a lot of jagged age effect especially where are lines, (eye brows, paper documents, etc). I used to shoot in SD, dvcam, and it was perfect.
    Is there a solution...?
    Thanks.

    Thank you very much!!! I tried 30 sec, and what a difference. The faces are sharper, the jagged edges are smaller. I had the jagged edges even on the face before. I still have some left maybe about 20%. I wonder if anti aliasing (what should be setting value?) or details would help, but I am afraid that it would take 100 hours to process 15 minutes of footage. I might be wrong, because it did show me 100 hours before.
    Thanks again.

  • Fonts looking bad after upload

    Hi,
    I have used a special font, by that I mean a font which will not be found on most computers. Now within some elements, such as a some buttons, a few graphics, the font appears perfectly. When I check on other PC's the font is not what I had selected. Also, the font, when I run the movie through Flash CS4, appears perfect, but once I upload it, the font is not smooth and looks bad. I read up a little about embedding characters, and even tried the option which comes in the text box properties, but nothing seems to help. I don't think I grasped the concept well. Can anyone please explain how I can get my font to appear and look good on all PCs??
    Thanks,
    Aditi

    Is this all dynamic text or is it text that is manually written in to the file at authoring time such that it could be static text?  If it is static text but you are using dynamic textfields, then try switching them to be static textfields.  If it is already static textfields, then you could try breaking the textfields down to being raw graphics (select the textfield, then choose Modify -> Break Apart, Modify -> Break Apart)
    If they must be dynamic textfields, and using the embed option in the properties panel isn't working, then try embedding the font in the library and use it from there... To do that...  in the library in the upper right is a small menu where you can select "New Font"... choose that and select the font you want from the list.  Then you can assign that embedded font as you normally would, but you need to find the name it has in the library and in trhe font selection it will have an asterisk next to it.  So if the Font is named "Font 1" in the library, then in the font selection in the properties panel it will appear as "Font 1* "

  • WMF Graphics Look Terrible After Re-Opening InDesign File

    I hope someone can provide the answer to this one, or at least a decent work-around.
    Very detailed schematic drawings are provided to me (the tech writer) in the form of Windows Meta-File (*.wmf) graphics.
    I must take these drawings and import them into my V.6 InDesign (CS4) files using the Place command under File.
    The graphics look fine immediately after I import them. If I print the file to PDF (Adobe 9.0) before closing the file, they look great in PDF as well.
    The problem: If I close the file and then re-open it, these schematic graphics look absolutely awful; like they "melted" or something. The many labels are completely indiscernable and blocky. Printing to a PDF does not improve the look (but doesn't seem to make it any worse though, if that's even possible).
    So the problem lies between the time I close (after saving) the file and the time I re-open it. ID is reducing the graphic quality of these WMF drawings upon saving/closing the file and I cannot find the solution.
    The technical details:
    System: PC, Windows XP Professional, Version 2002, Service Pack 2
    Adobe CS4: InDesign Version 6.04
    Thank you for your time and attention. I shall be happy to provide more detail to get this question answered.

  • Video looks terrible after imported into Encore CS3

    I have a great looking m2v file (for Blu Ray) that I compressed with Squeeze. After I import it into Encore CS3, it looks poor in preview. The clips starts off with white text on a black background. In preview mode, the text looks aliased or "jagged". I thought this was a preview issue, but it looks just as poor after I burn it to BD-R and play it back on our PS3.
    Encore project specs : 1280 x 720 59.94fps MPEG2
    The specs of my m2v file: 1280 x 720 59.94fps av, bitrate is 28000 kbps.
    Naturally, our client is getting impatient for an explanation. Any help on solving this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Vince

    You should wind up with an encoded asset (your clip) as 1920x1080 m2v which should be automatically created, if you use a BluRay Project and select MPEG2 under the project settings.
    Why don't you try that and then burn a BluRay folder and burn the disk with IMGBurn, using a BD-RE disk, so you won't waste money on several BD-R disks?
    I'm not sure where the "encore specs of 1280x720" come in.
    I'd be interested as to how this comes out.
