Confused! Video I captured rendered blurry. Titles & "outside" video rendered clear

Here is a link to the video that may make this more clear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmz7-cLqblQ
I am very very very new to all this, so please be patient.
I captured video using a DSLR - Canon T1i - which shoots in HD. I imported it to Adobe Premiere CS3 as an .avi. I created some titles in Premiere and also imported some video I received from an outside source.
The video I captured was dark, so I used the enhancement features in premiere (brightness/contrast, color levels, etc.) to lighten it up. I checked "preserve luminosity".
When I put all these things together in Premiere, it was completely clear in my preview screen. When I rendered and then played back it back on my computer, the video I captured on my T1i was completely blurry. Everything else was crystal clear. I checked on google and many people were saying this happens a lot when watching it from your own computer (?) but to upload it to youtube or vimeo and it should be fine. I did that (took hours!) only to find the same thing is happening there.
I want to tell you what settings I had the video project started in, but I am not sure how to go back and find that out. I know I tried to do the HD settings. If you could tell me how to do that, I am perfectly happy to go back and check the settings for the video or whatever else you need to know.
Thank you very much for your help!

I just experienced the same thing today. I bought a new White MacBook this weekend (I installed all the latest software updates). I published an imovie project to iTunes using the medium setting (Share->iTunes->MEDIUM). I saw the same artifacts that you are seeing. I republished the movie using the LARGE setting and the artifacts were gone. This is my workaround for now.

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.

Blurry Titling for Web Video

Hi there,
I'm producing an online advertisement for a client of mine. This ad won't be aired on television, and will almost exclusively be posted on YouTube.
There's a scene with some titles noting the website and some details for the client. The text looks great right up until it's rendered fully, at which point it blurs and looks strikingly unprofessional. Normally, viewing the video outputted through an NTSC monitor, the text looks fine. But because this video is not being produced for broadcast, and is exclusively video for the web, I'm not sure how to correct the text blur.
Thanks so much!
Skyler

I'm guessing you're working in DV. Unless you make the text large enough, in the correct colors, and in a font that works well in video, you're never going to get good quality text on the web.

Everything that Philip says here and more because you're going to compress it further for the web.

Difference between capture rendering and video file rendering

Hello,
I am using JMF to process a video coming from a camera or from a video file, but I noticed some differences in the screen output between these two cases.
I created a Processor and attached an Effect plug-in to its codec chain. On every frame, some processing is done in the process() method of the Effect. Every automatic update of the processor's visual component fires automatic update of my transparent custom drawing pane positioned on top of it (because they overlap). This way I can easily draw some lines over the video layer.
This works fine on capture. When the video comes from a file, however, the JMF visual component always shows the previous frame (not the one just processed), so my drawings are out of sync (they are a step ahead from the frame displayed).
Why is that? The processing code is the same for the capture and the files, only the dataSource is created differently.
Thanks in advance!

Blurry Title

Hi Everyone,
I am creating a simple title in LiveType, and have run into a problem. It is a simple white on black title, with the only effect being a fade in. When I make a render preview of the title, it looks good. I then render the real copy, and import it into Final Cut Express. Then it looks blurry. I have tried moving it the the desktop, playing it in the desktop, but it is still blurry. I have also tried making the same title with iMovie, and it still looks blurry. I am not sure what this is and why it is happening.
Thanks.

Shane's Stock Answer #2: Blurry playback
ONLY JUDGE THE QUALITY OF YOUR MATERIAL ON AN EXTERNAL NTSC MONITOR, OR AT LEAST A TV.
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.
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. There are a couple things you can do to make it look better:
1. Disable overlays on the canvas
2. Make sure you've rendered everything (no green bars at the top of the timeline
3. Check your RT settings and make sure they are set to Unlimited RT, and that playback video quality is set to HIGH or DYNAMIC.
But still, your computer monitor will not show you a full quality image. For that you need an external monitor and a proper output device, such as those made by Canopus (ADVC 110, 300…only for DV), AJA, Black-Magic or Matrox.

Blurry Titles in Premiere CS6

Is Adobe doing anything to correct the problems that Premiere CS6 has when creating titles that look great until they are rendered, at which point they become blurry...titles created in Photoshop and/or AfterEffects render out the same way in Premiere.

Here is a simplest workflow using the PPro Titler to generate a title.
ie. Create a Title on a White, Black and Alpha BG.s ( alpha is the centre section)
The samples show screen grabs of the process plus a frame that is grabbed from an H264 HD 1080p Export playing in Windows Media Player.
Everything is at Default Setting.
I doubt you can see much difference between any of them and no loss or blur on the "export" in the WMV player. Last frame bottom right.
Top left Titler Grab
Top Right Full Screen Program Monitor Grab ( Tilde Key Shortcut)
Bottom Left Source Monitor Grab - (Full rez)
Bottom Right - Screen Grab - Playback from WMV Player - H264 1080p file ( YouTube Preset)
You still not have told us your export settings or any settings for that matter!
(Makes it difficult to work out what you are doing without that info.)

Blurry titles when exporting from interlaced to progressive?

I have a project which is DV PAL (720 x 576) and needs to be exported as a progressive H264 mpeg file. The video looks good in the export, but the titles are blurry. I just did a test and exported the project interlaced, and titles were fine. So the problem is clearly the transition from interlaced to progressive. Is there any way to get crisp titles in this situation?
Using Premiere CS6. Have tried exporting to progressive with several alterations to the title clips (reversing field order, always deinterlace) with the same result.

Hi JR Dungan,
How about you create a new progressive sequence, and then copy paste all of the content of your current interlaced sequence into the new progressive sequence, and export from there. I haven't worked with interlaced footage for years so I don't know for sure if this will help or not, but since it's quick and easy to do, it's worth a try.
Cheers!

Blurry titles in iMovie 11'

Hi,
I have noticed recently that the titles in iMovie are blurry, I thought that when ill export the movie the titles will syncronize to the resolution of the movie, in my case 1080p but they didn't.
does anyone have a sloution to my problem?
cheers.

Our brain is programmed to naturally accept that if the object is static, it looks sharp. If an object is in motion however, it will look blurry.
What happens if you make a moving object static?!? Your brain needs to see this as being sharp, but it can not being it is actually in motion. This is the function of in camera stabilization and iMovie and pretty much all the other software stabilization setup. It stabilizes the image, but does not prevent motion blur. Preventing motion blur is a function of shutter speed, but the problem with upping the shutter speed is that it removes a certain cinematic feeling our eyes and brains are naturally atuned to. Which goes to show why, even with the shaky footage of the movie "The Blair Witch Project", the movie went on to be one of the hits.
There's always a trade-off using camera stabilization or software stabilization and that is, do you want
1, stabilized footage but at the expense of seeing motion blur
or
2, unstabilized footage that gives you sea sick but keeping the acuity as is.
Most people will choose stabilized footage and use in conjunction a steadicam setup..

Blurry Titles and text on HD 6.0!!!

hello everyone, I just got my new 12' powerbook and its my first mac ever... and I LOVE IT!!! I have no idea why I have been using pc all my life, macs are so much better!
anyways, onto the PROBLEM... I have the new ilife '06 and I have installed imovie HD 6 but when I try to add a title onto black (and I havent tried on clips) it turns out very fuzzy and very unprofesional... when I preview it, it looks great, but not when I add it to my timeline... CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
thanks...

It's not a problem, it's an intention. You would need a quad g5 top of the line to run the video in full resolution in real time! Too much data, so they arteficially reduced the resolution in iMovie for us to be able to happily edit our movies on slower machines. Your final DVDs will look just fine, believe me, they simply will. Same with other codecs in .mov files for QT playback. If you choose any codec and the highest possible quality, you will get almost sharp titles. But not in iMovie itself. I personally have set up the lowest preview quality in iMovie, because I prefer application speed ahead of viewing quality. I rather look at fuzzy than jerky subtitles. But again, everyone has different opinion. The end product is what counts anyway, right?
Cheers.

Screen Captures Look Blurry in Motion

I'm creating lossless screen captures using the animation codec (iShowU) and importing them into Motion3 where I'm resizing them slightly. For some reason they always lose their crisp resolution as opposed to when resized in FCP. They look like they have a light gaussian blur applied, even at 100% screen resolution. The project and export settings seem fine (800x600, square pixel, 8-bit, progressive, 29.97). Even in preview with it set to best, it's blurry when compared to the raw footage.
Is there any way to get around this problem?
Using latest version of FCS2. Output is for webcast.

Howdy,
This is a long-shot, but check the Position value of the image. By default, images added to Motion are centered, and depending on the image that can mean a sub-pixel position (fractional pixel values), which would cause more filtering. Check and see if the image is located at a sub-pixel positon, such as 320.5, and try changing it to a whole number.

Capturing Mouse Click Event Outside a Canvas/Component

Hello Guys
I have a canvas based component and i want to capture a mouse click event outside that component.
How is it possible?
Thanks a lot

Thanks a lot Morphic
I solved it using focusout method from my component;s textinput but your method is also good and will help me in later stages.

Why Blurry Title?

Added scrolling credits at end of short movie, but the font is blurry. Rolling title added near the start of movie is fine, looks like the same font and everything, but end credits are blurred. ? :-/

The text is in the artwork – so it is probably rasterized as you say. I cannot select the blurry text in the artwork in FrameMaker or in the PDF.
Why would these things not be blurry when my former colleague made the PDF, but they are blurry for me?
Thanks,
Erin

Blurry titles in QT export

I am editing a project in which there are words that scroll and go left to right. The font is pretty large and they were created within FCP. They look fine within FCP (admittedly on my computer screen not a proper monitor) but when the project is exported to a QT file (I kept the settings the same) they appear blurry and are really hard to read.
Is this a frame rate issue? Or something to do with field dominance? It's really annoying!
Also there are various images that move by keyframe that lose a crisp edge when they move... I have always been told you don't need to render before you export... would that make a difference?
Thanks a lot....

Unless you're exporting with Compressor, its best to render FULL. Also keep in mind that QT Player may not be displaying at best quality. With the file open in QT, hit Command j to open the movie's properties so you can set the high quality flag.

How to capture Mouse Down event outside a control?

Mouse Capture doesn't work:
public partial class MainWindow : Window
public MainWindow()
InitializeComponent();
Button button1 = new Button();
button1.Width = 50;
button1.Height = 20;
this.Content = button1;
Mouse.Capture(button1);
button1.PreviewMouseDown += Down;
private void Down(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
MessageBox.Show("Hello World!"); // doesn't show

Hi Ziya,
the Capture-method returns a bool whether the capture was successful or not. So when you do this, you'll see that your capture didn't work:
public MainWindow()
InitializeComponent();
Button button1 = new Button();
button1.Width = 50;
button1.Height = 20;
this.Content = button1;
var success = Mouse.Capture(button1);
if(!success)
MessageBox.Show("Not captured");
button1.PreviewMouseDown += Down;
The problem with the code above is that your Window is not loaded at that time when the code in the constructor is executed. And as long as it is not loaded, there's nothing to capture. :-)
So you should do your capture-logic in the Loaded-event of the window. That event occurs after the Window has been loaded. So the code below will work for you:
public MainWindow()
InitializeComponent();
Button button1 = new Button();
button1.Width = 50;
button1.Height = 20;
this.Content = button1;
this.Loaded += (s, e) =>
var success = Mouse.Capture(button1);
if (!success)
MessageBox.Show("Not captured");
button1.PreviewMouseDown += Down;
