Clear in FCE, but then blurry when exported!

I made a movie in FCE. Here is the info for the videos i used to make it - 1280 by 720 HD = dimensions/H.264, interger (little Endian) = codec!
However when i export it with quicktime conversion w/ the same specs. it comes out saying it 720 hd but looks very blurry!
Am i doing something wrong?

I want to post it to a site, and also just for family viewing on my imac (but it looks pretty bad, and i don't won't to show it off yet)!
Also if you look here i am having a problem with FCE! https://discussions.apple.com/message/15497616#15497616

Pictures clear during transition, but then go blurry when transition starts

I am putting together some pictures and video together into an iMovie. I've noticed that, when exported to iDVD, the still pictures are sharp and clear during the transition, but once the transition is complete, the picture is blurry and pixelated. This leads to a series of sharp pictures, blurry picture, sharp picture, blurry picture. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there an optimum transition to use to avoid this from happening?

Photos blurry when exported to Quicktime

When I export an album to Quicktime the pictures are fin right when they come up but then it is like they "snap" into place and become slightly blurred. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? Or what is causing it?
Thanks

What is the ultimate destination to view these images? If it's a TV, then have you taken a look yet to see how they display on a screen that does not have the resolution that your monitor is capable of? When you made the QuickTime movie, did you try to see if any of the optional settings produced an image more to your liking? But to make any reasonable choices, you'll need to know what the final destination is going to be, and evaluate how the images look there. An image that looks fuzzy at 1024x768 on a computer monitor may look just fine on the less than 640x480 resolution on a TV screen, and sharpening it up on your monitor won't make a bit of difference when the image is viewed on a TV screen.

No Problem But A Puzzle When Exporting To QT

Sometimes exporting a one hour FCE3 to QT, not self-contained, it takes only two or three minutes to do its thing. Sometimes, though, it takes an hour or so. Rendering/not rendering doesn't seem to make a difference. What gives? one wonders.

Hello Dave,
The QT Player is QT. What version is it? Some combinations of FCE, QT and OSX versions are known to cause strange behavior or failures in FCE, especially during capture or exporting.
You should not be running any other apps when you are using FCE, especially while capturing, rendering or exporting. The system resources other apps take up while FCE is doing its job can really screw things up ... and it will often appear as random problems.
Another thing that is often a culprit is a system HD that is too full. Overall performance starts to degrade once your drive is about 50% full. And you should always keep at least 20% free space - OSX needs that space to run.

Videos Blurry When Exported

I am using CS4 and whenever I render a video it comes out blurry. I am using the default settings when exporting media.
Any idea what I can do?

Speed change isn't blurry in the canvas but it is blurry when exported

I have a video using all HDV footage at 29.97 fps and I've slowed it down to 58% and I've taken off Frame Blending. I'm familiar with how this is supposed to look, and It looks fine when I play it in the timeline, but when I export it out as a Quicktime movie it is very blurry, considerably more than on the canvas playback. Also, there's an extreme color correction effect applied to all the footage as well and it becomes extremely muted when I export the footage.

Did you use CS5 or CS6 in the past? Did you set those apps to use offline help only so that you didn't have to watch Adobe Air update itself every time you tried to open Help? If so, there might be an old Adobe Help (CS5 / CS6) preference lingering on your machine. You wouldn't think CC would respect it, but you would be wrong. I had to install old Adobe Help (for CS5 / CS6) and change the pref.
I downloaded the outmoded Adobe Help app by way of: http://www.adobe.com/support/chc/?helpcfg=http://help.adobe.com/HelpCfg/en_US/Dreamweaver. helpcfg&url=http://helpx.adobe.com/en/dreamweaver/topics.html&product=dreamweaver

My footage from the Nintendo Entertainment System gets blurry when exported or rendered in CS4.

Ive tried searching all over for someone with the same problem but with no luck.
Im running Adobe Premiere CS4 on a Windows Vista.
Ive trying to edit together a bunch of clips from a Nintendo Entertainment System game. Ive already got all the footage & all the footage looks fine when I veiw it and when I put it in premiere, the problem doesnt come up until I render it or try to export it. This happens no matter what footage I use,no matter what size I make the footage. Ive even tried simply importing a clip into premiere then exporting it and it still gets blurred.
The clips themselves are .AVI
Here's a sample of what keeps happening to my footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90jVmz2Tr-0
And here's a sample of what it should look like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=davCKKtgqak
Please help me

But thats exactly it. Im not sure what Im doing wrong with MediaInfo. I dont see it telling me what I should be useing anywhere. All it tells me is what I have. I dont see anyway of rendering on it. I see ways to export it but all it does is export the info it already shows me.

Images fine in InDesign, blurry when export to PDF

I am having a problem with one InDesign document. It doesn't happen to any other document, even with the same types of graphics.
There are several .tif images that print out fine straight from InDesign, but if I export to a PDF-- even high-resolution-- the images are blurry. Text is fine in both cases.
Help?

Peter, if they interact with transparency and go through the flattener at high resolution they can be upsampled ... I pointed this out before, blog post here
http://indesignsecrets.com/flattening-fun.php
THIS SHOULD NEVER BE DONE THOUGH!
All in al the OP had 100 ppi images and that's why they look blurry in the PDF - because they are not high res.

Video but no audio when exporting from iPhoto

I have very small (30 sec) clips of video from a digital camera downloaded into iPhoto. When I export or share a clip to QuickTimePro 7, iMovie, my desktop, or e-mail the video goes, but no audio. I have tried so many different ways, I can't even remember what I've done. Can anyone help? I'm at my wits end, and it's a video of my baby laughing for the first time and I want to send it to everyone!!!

With the video open in the QuickTime Player, choose Show Movie Properties from the Window menu, click on the Resources tab, control-click on the entry which contains the file's location on your computer, and choose Show in Finder from the menu which appears. Once the file has been located, download MPEG Streamclip and use it to convert the file; save the converted file on the desktop.

Video becomes soft and watermark blurry when exporting to iphone

Hi guys, having a bit of an issue. I have some video i saved as apple either pro res 422 HQ or apple pro res 4x4. When i try going from that, to a .mp4 h.264 format (either in quicktime or compressor using the apple devices preset, at 700 kb) the video gets soft, and the watermark gets choppy when ever something is moving behind it. I've noticed going straight from source material things look fine. I know going from source is always going to be better, but i didn't think the difference was going to be so catastrophic. Anyone have some tips?

New feature in QuickTime is Export to Web and it is still in "baby" step mode.
Nice to have QuickTime writing the page code and creating the reference movie but a little more understanding by the page authors is required.
Take a look at the data rate differences between the "cellular" and "iPhone" settings. 900kbit/sec versus 56kbit/second rate.
Same dimensions (I suppose because I've done no tests) so the 56 kbps so that version would download very fast and look very ugly.
If you don't need it (and we all probably don't) just remove the check mark before choosing Export. But, since it will be such a tiny file, no real harm using it (unless you get comments that your video looked very ugly when viewed "cellularly".

My new iPod touch won't let me view my pictures. It lets me open the app but then crashes when I try to open an album. I've tried resetting and turning it off for a while but nothing has worked. What can I do?

My new 4th generation iPod touch won't let me view my pictures.. It lets me get into the app but when I try to look at an album it crashes. I've tried resetting and turning it off for a while and nothing has worked. What do I do?

- Try restoring the iPod from backup
- Next restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

DSLR JPG images crystal clear in iPhoto but blurry when opened in Photoshop CS5.

I own the CS5 master collection. I recently purchased a new Retina Macbook Pro. 15" 16gb RAM, 512gb flash, 2Gb Nvidia. For some reason, my crystal clear dslr photos are appearing blurry when opened in photoshop. In iPhoto they look sharp. Any ideas? Any help would be much appreciated. I'm losing my mind over here!

If you imported your image files into iPhoto, Photoshop cannot see the original files and is showing you just the tiny embedded JPEG thumbnail. Blame iPhoto.
iPhoto buries your images in its entrails as packages no other software can get at. What you need to do is to EXPORT your images first into some folder Photoshop and other software can see. You have to do this from within iPhoto itself after launching that d@mned Apple application.

Photos look great edited in LR 3 but extremely grainy when printed

I said I would take photos at a friends wedding and now I just want to cry.
I edited raw photos in LR3 - they look great in LR. I export them to a folder and they still look great on a large screen. But then I sent them off to print. It wasn't so much the colours that annoyed me it was the grain and sharpening in the photo, it looks terrible. I only realised this after I gave her the photos on disk and she spent money printing 1000 crap photos...
I have never had this issue before. I am just doing a light edit - small crop on some, don't know if its the export process.
I have played around and what seems to work is moving the luminance to close to 85-100 and sharpening to 0. I just want to know is that right do it it that way or am I missing a major thing.
When I do an export from lightroom. Its jpeg format sRGB, quality - 80, resolution 240
This bit I am unsure of...I have ticked sharpen output as set for matte paper, amount - standard.
If anyone could help me out soon I would really appreciate it, as it would save me using a lot of tissues as I am quite frustrated.

I have attached 3 photos.
When I took the photos I shot as both raw and jpeg. I have attached the following:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5ebbdi4o3u14wk3/CZWB8wJcce/Grainy%20Photos?lst
a.. the original raw photo
b.. the jpeg that came with it (as is out of the camera)
c.. the final edited jpeg
d.. A screen print of the image uploaded to printing lab (It will look grainy around the hair line...but that's the problem)
I have played around a fair bit. All looks great in LR and when I get out of LR and open them up full screen out of windows explorer they look good too.
It was only when the bride complained about the blurriness, I then tried uploading the final high resolution file to RGB Digital Labs that you could see how bad they were.
Last night I was playing around and I tried uploading the jpeg straight out of the camera to RGB labs and that too was bad. So I am starting to think would it be the camera, but then again when they look so good after editing why would they look bad at print time. Photo was taken at f$ 1/200 shutter speed and ISO 320 (so it’s not like I didn’t have light) I had a flash as well
I think I am going to have a mental breakdown!!!
So far from what I have found to get the picture looking ok Sharpness is “0”and luminance is set to 100 – so too extremes which just does not seem right, I have never had to do this before.
Any help would be great
Thanks
Sara

Part of logo missing when exporting to PDF

I'm running ID CS6 and Acrobat Pro X.
When I export a document as a PRINT or INTERACTIVE pdf, part of my logo goes missing. The funny thing is that our design team are all running the same programs and 3 of our members can view the logo completely, the other 4 see half of the logo missing, I can see the logo just fine.
• The logo mark is visible, but the typography that is part of the logo is missing?! And it's a single grouped object in Illustrator.
• We've compared the settings on our teams' programs and on my ID program as well, and nothing seems be remotely related to the issue.
• Finder on Mac shows mixed visibility in file preview on different computers. Some show, some don't.
• In the past, I've been able to place vector objects from Illustrator into Indesign completely fine. I prefer vector over image because it allows me scaling flexibility.
• I have not changed any settings on my program between the time I was able and not able to do this. I don't understand why different people are getting different results on their screens. And in a couple of occasions, it has happened to one of our team members and it fixed itself mysteriously.
I would like to provide screen shots, but it is a private design.
One key note to realize is that the logo is completely outlined and grouped as a single object. I then save the logo into the same folder as the ID file (tried both, .EPS and .AI) and placed it (CMD+D) into InDesign. Both files are CMYK files.
I then make my PDF by hitting (CMD+E) to export, choose PDF Print. On the PDF settings, I choose [High Quality Print], compatible with Acrobat 5 and beyond, uncheck optimize for web, include bleeds, no color conversion.
I've had issues in the past where hidden layers in an .AI are still visible in the PDF. The .AI is imported into InDesign then exported as PDF... The hidden layers from the .AI preview in Finder, but then vanish when opening the PDF...so buggy.
Make any sense?!...

Similar to Mikey's response… If the logo has a spot color in it and it overlaps any raster image (or vice versa), then the overlapping part will appear white if "Overprint Preview" is turned off in Acrobat. This is really a bug. One possible fix is to export the PDF as an PDF/X-4:2010 in the "Standard" drop down—this preserves all transparency layering without flattening.
This issue causes frequent headaches and confusion in my workplace, especially since a lot of people want/need to hold on to the PDF/X-1a standard, which flattens the artwork.

Clear in FCE, but then blurry when exported!
