Compression Porblems, see my video

Okay, I have tried so many settings to make this video clearer. First, when I export it to the desktop and play it, it is crystal clear. The problem arises when I go to upload it to either MY SPACE or YOU TUBE. Before you say it's there fault, it's not. There are plenty of clear music videos on both You Tube and My Space. Look at my example, it has a slight blurr or haze to it. How do I get better compression export and eliminate the blur or fuzz. I tried H.264 and Sorenson 3. I tried them at a small aspect ratio and a large aspect. I'm wondering if it is the Frame rate or Key Frame rate. I set the Frame rate at 15 and the Key Frame at 24. What am I doing wrong? I interlaced it, rendered it properly, etc... Look at example on my MY SPACE site - the music video that I did. I don't get it becasue my expert is so clear and nice. Thank you for your help!!!

For YouTube that looks really good. You'll need to up the data rate and frame rate to get better quality. How big is that file? How long's the video? What's it shot on? There's a lot of soft edges and motion backgrounds in the video that consume a ton of compression band width. Look at the the full frames shots of the guy in yellow with the light behind him. The image is really clan, with good edges. You'll not see that when you fill the image with lots of soft edges and motion. There's too much action and the image is too difficult to compress sharply so the whole frame tends to soften. It's not only what you do to compress it, it also what you do to shoot it and edit it and composite it. If you want sharp clean, hard edge images you need to shoot and edit and create a program that lends itself to that kind of compression.

  • Hi, my mac has stopped playing some avi files (that used to work). I can see the video. Does anyone know why and what i can do? My version of quicktime is 7.6.9.

    Hi i have avi files saved in iphoto that i used to be able to play through quicktime. However in the last few weeks i cannot play many of these files. I can see the videos and click on them but nothing happens (i have version 7.6.9 of quicktime). Does anyone know why this has happened and what i can do about this?
    Thanks.

    What do you mean by what audio/video formats are involved? These are all files from several digital cameras.
    As previously stated, AVI is a file container. It is somewhat old and its originator, Microsoft, dropped official support of it over a decade ago. However, it remains popular with PC users since almost any valid audio and/or video compression format can be stuffed to the file which synchronizes the content by interleaving the individual audio and video frames. The compression format is the specific manner in which the audio and video data are encoded as it is placed in the AVI container. You can find the compression format by inspecting the file in the Finder "Info" window, or in the "Inspector" window of the QT player (or other media player) if the file can be opened.
    For instance, one popular compression combination would be to place DivX encoded video and MP3 audio in an AVI file container. However, neither DivX nor MP3 is natively supported by the QT player. (Although iTunes will natively support the MP3 audio.) Therefore, people who wish to play such files in the QT 7 Player would normally install either the DivX component or Perian but not both. Either installation will independently play such files in the QT Player, but if both are installed, the file will usually stop working since these two codecs can create a playback conflict.
    However, the AVI container could just as easily contain DV along with DV audio. In this case, the file should play correctly in QT since this compression format is natively supported by the basic component configuration that comes in every current OS installation. Therefore, if such files suddenly stopped playing, this could be an indication that a component has been moved or deleted or that your system or QT embedded structure has become corrupted.

  • Want to "Share" - but I can't see any video

    For at least a year, I have been able to compress my avi video files using the Quicktime Pro "share" function (into .mov) - and then email them to friends and family.
    However, 2 weeks ago, after doing the exact same conversion process, the clip popped up in an email - with audio only - and a black screen where the video should be. Interestingly, when I sent this email, my mother said it looked exactly the same as always - no different on her end.
    I thought it might have just been one bad clip - but since that time, I can no longer see any video after going through the "share" process. This is a problem for me, as I like to drag the compressed clip into the "movie" page of my iweb and publish it. I also like to see what I'm emailing.
    Any ideas on how I can get the video part back after the "share" process?
    I am running Quicktime Pro 7.5
    Thanks for your consideration.

    I'm giving myself a bump - in the hopes someone can help me.
    Thanks!

  • Imovie is limited to its import formats and does not allow for storing video in any rawformat.  Which means all videos will contain lossy compression applied to the video-.with no way to edit full format video.  Is this statement true?

    Imovie is limited to its import formats and does not allow for storing video in any rawformat.  Which means all videos will contain lossy compression applied to the video….with no way to edit full format video.  Is this statement true? Does iMovie support HD 1080p @ 60 fps?

    …   Is this statement true?
    yes and no!
    using the intended Import from Camera routines, iM converts automatically in its very own AppleIntermediateCodec. so, answer is yes.
    but …
    a) Apple claims , aic is non-lossy intermediate codec. working with proRes in FCPX taught me, there are even less non-lossy-ness codecs
    b) iM offers an Archive feature, which is basically a simple Finder/copy operation which 'clones' your SDcards content into some folder on your harddrive; e.g. you can later use these untouched  'raws' in another editor such as FCPX. so, answer is no.
    c) when you 'override' the import routines by manually re-wrapping mts into a mov container, iM handles the 'native' h264s ... so, answer is no.
    d) adding any effect, transition etc. reduces any interlaced source to 540p. (if you're working with 720p source, res is kept) … so, answer is yes. or, in 720p case, no.
    < Johnny Depp's voice >… savvy?
    Does iMovie support HD 1080p @ 60 fps?
    via Import from Camera? No.
    via re-wrapped mts>>mov? I was told yes, some say no.
    one thing to be kept in mind when talking about these 'issues':
    iM, this 12€, is meant as a CONSUMER toy tool.
    it supports AVCHD vers1 (=no 1080/60p, no >24Mbps, no 3D).
    fingers crossed, we'll see soon some iM/QT/FCPX update for support of AVCHD v2 ........
    the main consumer devices are within the specs, iM supports.
    using professional equipments makes usage of professional software (FCPX, AP) optional.
    sorry for lengthy answer.

  • FCP and iMovie HD not seeing HDV video

    On my work dual G5 I can control my Sony HDV camera with either iMovie HD 6.03 or FCP 5.04, but neither see the video. The fact that the machine control works proves that the Firewire cabling is ok, and the fact that the video shows up in iMovie on my iMac proves that the camera settings are ok.
    My iMac and work machine are both using 10.4.9 and the latest QuickTime. Have any of you seen an issue where HDV camera video shows up on one machine and not on another?

    Reporting back to say what fixed things in the end. I had tried two cameras and two Firewire leads without it working. I had tried every kind of reset I could think of, and done QuickTime reinstalls. Still no go. I finally tried a Combo 10.4.9 install and another QuickTime install. Still not fixed.
    But then I tried a combination that involved unplugging the Firewire lead again, and after that every worked fine. The best I can guess it seems like either the Combo install or the third QuickTime install fixed something, but the results of the fix didn't show up until the next time I unplugged the Firewire lead and plugged it back in again. I had done that so many times already that it was a pleasant surprise to see it make a difference after the latest reinstalls.

  • Unable to see streaming video

    When I go to youtube or anywhere else to see streaming video I can't. I have updated the OS, and even reloaded the OS. I didn't do a reformat yet, I was hoping someone would tell me what I am missing, or what is conflicting. What app does the Mac use to see videos ??

    Go to Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility and select your volume and then select Repair Permissions.

    Hi @anthony7722 ,
    Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
    I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control.  You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
    When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
    Here are two links that I believe will help.
    Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
    Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
    Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
    Please try this process.
    1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them  but do not install them yet
    2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
    3. restart your notebook
    4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
    5. restart your notebook
    6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver. 
    You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
    This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
    I hope this helped.

    If the clips are not actually missing, you could try to refresh the timeline by using cmd-0 and then going to the timeline options tab. Then select name only where it says "thumbnail display". Press ok to accept the change, then repeat the process to add thumbnails back to your timeline.

    I can see the video. I want to download it and save in my computer to see it again.
    I have download helper. While the 3 red,blue,and yellow sphere are turning, It gives me the choice of place to save,and when I click and choose desktop , for example, this message comes ."Conversion requires an external application that appears to be missing on your system. Configure conversion ?
    When I click on okay, another page comes, which says" converter and a box next to it . in the box is written FFMpeg. but I can change it to MEncoder. In another box, says configure conversion rules. When I click on it, nothing happen.Thanks for your help.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I want to download a video from youtube

    No, this reply is not helpful. It simply generates this little gem:
    "This service requires the conversion feature to be enabled.
    Configure conversion ?"
    And the same clicking on buttons that makes nothing happen and going around in circles with the escape key.

  • Can not see some videos, Can not install Activex 9.o47

    My name is Alex, I have been working on getting flash to play
    for about 3 weeks.
    I have uninstalled both shockwave and flash many many times
    using all different sites. I have turned off my firewall,
    anti spy, and antivirus when downloading. I have shut
    everything down that was running. I have closed everything.
    I have restarted each time between downloads. I have then
    downloaded the install from many many sites. Closed everything, and
    installed.
    I have uninstalled from ADD/Remove. I have reinstalled. Now,
    when I go to ADD/Remove programs it shows that both Flash and
    Shockwave are there.
    Seriously, I have downloaded and uninstalled and installed so
    many times from so many sites.
    Each time the screen shows I have done it successfully. But I
    cannot get it to play. I have turned off all popup blockers that I
    know of.
    I still run my anti virus, firewall spyware etc. But says
    there is nothing to prevent Flash from playing some of the pages I
    use to see.
    I have done a Reg clean. And I have installed after all that
    and still does not work.
    I am the admin on the computer and I am the only one who runs
    it. I use firefox for my browser but I tried to get it in IE and
    still nothing.
    Everything was going absolutely fine till I done the stupid
    mistake of updating my Flash player,
    seen then my computer is going banana, I don't understand why
    is that,
    I can actually see U tube videos, but I can not see other
    videos like trailers from IMDB, <Your browser is blocking
    display of our video player. If you would like to see the video,
    please turn off any ad-blocking or Flash-blocking software that you
    are using>.
    That's what he said on the screen where the video suppose to
    play, I can only see advertising, It should be the other way
    around,
    and even the news on yahoo I can not see them, only ads.
    I had no problems before, no pop up I could see the videos
    absolutely fine and especially no ADS and then that days,
    I wish I could cancel that day, I'm try to fix this problems
    all ready 3 weeks and nothing, I did try everything but nothing.
    I have download flash Player 9.0.47.0 manage to install but
    found impossible to install Activex 9.0.47.0 seems to be impossible
    I do know why. disinstall everything reinstall but nothing,
    # Select Start.
    # Select Run.
    # Type cmd
    # In the command window, type the following:
    uninstall_flash_player.exe /clean
    The answer is: uninstall_flash_player.exe is not recognised
    as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.
    does not work, try million of time, does not work.
    Does anybody know why?

    I can't get my new iPad to record a video I see the video right above camera but it is not active yet I can't touch it to activate it.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • Won't see/capture video

    Soooooooo frustrating....
    Ok, so I have been capturing old Hi-8 videos for some time now, through the analog input of Intensity's BlackMagic card. I have a Sony Hi-8 camcorder set up with the oh-so-special Sony audio/video output cable going to 1 channel of audio in and the Y-8 analog video in of BlackMagic.
    In System prefs, I have NTSC/PAL Y-In Analog audio selected for my input.
    In Final Cut Pro Academic 6.0.6, I have tried every possible input in Audio/Video settings, including the one that previously worked, Blackmagic NTSC Apple ProRes (HQ). I've refreshed A/V devices, clicked External Video All Frames, restarted FCP, rebooted the computer....
    But today, nothing works; I can't get FCP to see the video in the log and capture window, though I do see that the audio is coming through.
    Any suggestions? Thanks.

    You're in the wrong forum. This is the FCPX forum.
    For your FCP6 question you should re-post here.
    Good luck.
