For DVD you can't use H.264.  You need MPEG2-DVD.

  • How do  I export an iMovie to a high quality version that can be played on a pc

    Ok here's the stitch- I made a short project (about 2:30) and exported it to a m4v high quality video. It was about 54 mb and the resolution was great on my pc. however, I edited the project and when I exported it again it ended up as a really low resolution mp4 video and was only 3.9 ish mb. How do I get convert my iMovie to a high quality m4v video or other high quality file for a pc?

    Ps I have a toshiba laptop and I made the imovie on my Mac desktop at school (and I don't know which model/year iMovie and Mac I have)

  • How to Export a WMV file in High Quality but low MB?

    How to Export a WMV file in High Quality but low MB?

    I'm really afraid you are the only person who can answer that.
    ANY compression is totally relative: what do you think is small? What do you define as high quality?
    I can get a 5 minute wmv file at just under 100mb that I find acceptable for browser downloads. You might think that's too big. I don't.
    Trial and error is the only way. Personally, I've set up a compressor preset to crunch my wmv files. While it's doing it's thing, I can do something else.

  • How to export a complex Keynote to high quality video for DVD?

    I have had dozens of attempts to turn a complex Keynote into a high quality video.
    Either they turn out disappointiingly way low res
    or they are very choppy with half the transitions gone
    or they Cannot make the video at all
    HELP.
    I need to turn this project in to my client today.

    If you use the DVD export in Keynote 3 with a self playing movie, the quality will be fine...just don't trust what you see on your mac screen, play it on a DVD player to check the quality. I did a test a while back and it was only the pauses that looked bad.
    Read about it here:
    http://www.keynoteuser.com/news/?p=135
    pay close attention to what I complain about...it's just the slide pauses, not the normal motion playback, which means selfplaying stuff looks pretty decent (though never as good as the original, but that's the fault of the DVD format, not Apple).

  • Exported QTmovie quality doesn't look good at all..

    I've composed, graded, and edited my sequence within FCS and just now exported it as a QT movie file.
    It looks WAY less quality than the original movie file which was encoded with Compressor to Apple ProRes 422 (HQ).
    Let me explain about my workflow and please tell me what I am missing here.
    1. Shoot with Canon 5D Mark2 at the highest quality
    2. Encode the files to Apple ProRes422 (HQ)
    3. make a sequence and send to Color
    4. Create two grades, G1 is in color and G2 is in B&W, render and send back to FCP
    5. make a new sequence, put G1 in track v1 and G2 in track v2, bring it to Motion
    6. in Motion, change the top layer's blend mode to exclusion, save it and export as QT movie
    7. import the exclusion sequence to FCP, make a new sequence with it
    8. Now, v1=exclusion movie(background) and put v2=original color clips(showing part of it), send it to Motion
    9. Compose two layers with bezier mask putting some feather around
    10. Save it in Motion and export it in FCP as Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)
    The final output looks bad. Especially, the feather and graded parts looks choppy and not smooth.
    Information of the files before and after is almost the same except output file has *Integre (Big...)* right after Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)...
    I will look into details and all the settings but if you think of anything please let me know.
    Where to look and what should be set ...etc.
    I'd really appreciate your input! Thanks in advance.

    Hi Nick,
    Thanks for the link but it doesn't seem to apply my case.
    I've already set the QT preference and I use Leopard+FCP7.
    Maybe, I am using too much of Motion/Color for composing, layering, masking etc?
    All the integration cause that kind of result??---Lesser quality export.
    Please let me know what I should keep in mind most when I want to integrate FCP/Color/Motion, going back and forth.
    I'd appreciate any advice from you!

  • High quality only looks good when in full screen

    I have a "15 MacBookPro using AE CC 2014.2..
    So I typed some text within AE and dragged in a high resolution photo to make a simple video. My composition size was 1920x1080.  But the photo and text always look weird, sorta pixelated, unless they are full screen.  It's like the AE video can't handle being resized whether I'm watching it on quicktime or youtube, or even while working in AE.  However the high res photo looks great at any size when I view just as a photo, using the Preview application.
    This has happened before on other videos I've made but it really bothered me because it just ruins the photo on this one.  if I make my video 720 it comes out not as noticeable but then if you try to watch the video full screen it gets blurry in the expected pixelated fashion, so that doesn't truly solve anything....I am just confused as to why after effects is not letting me make high quality videos that look good in a smaller video window (eg: the youtube video player if you don't click full screen)
    below I attached a screen shot of what is happening.  This particular screen shot is from when I uploaded it on youtube and watched it.  But if I watch it in a small window using quicktime or even in AE, it looks the same...until you blow it up to full screen then it looks alright!
    But I want people who just happen upon the video to be drawn into the photograph and bold text on screen not see some pixelated **** 

    Your thin outlines on the fonts are going to fall apart when you have the media player scaled down. Here's why. Say those thin lines are 2 pixels wide. Say the Media player is set to 600 pixels wide instead of 1920. Divide 600 by 1920 and you get .3125 (or 31.25%) Multiply 2 pixels by .3125 and you get .625 and since there is no such thing as a fraction of a pixel the media player is going to make it's best guess where those white pixels should be and adjust the color to approximate what six tenths of a pixel would look like. The result is poor quality.
    You can improve the quality by first, not using very thin lines in your design, and second, not putting high value pixels (white, red, blue, green at 255 for example) next to black ones (0). Learning how pixels behave is as important to a motion graphics designer as learning how a brush responds to the canvas for a painter working with oils. Video is limited to whole pixel brushes so you need to learn how to paint with them.

  • I'm looking for a high quality image of the flower in the iPhone 5 the website.

    There is a flower that is used in the apple website, for the iPhone 5. It is purple and yellow. I've been looking all over the web for it but cannot find an image of it that doesn't have a glare on it. I guess it is owned by apple, but I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find a high quality image of it. Unfortunately it is not included with the iPhone 5.

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    I see on photo to movie spec page that you can export in full 1920 X 1080 H.264 codec, a high quality format usable in FCE.

  • No high quality previews in Bridge under Version Cue

    I posted this in the 'Bridge' forum but didn't get any responses... thinking maybe someone here might be able to help?
    I've started to work with Version Cue, which seems like a useful idea.
    However, within Bridge, when I preview a PSD file it shows a pixelated, low-res version. I have set the preferences to display "high quality previews" and purged the cache, restarted, etc. The previews for non-Version Cue files are fine.
    For Illustrator files under Version Cue, the previews stay small - i.e. the same size as the thumbnails.
    I really need to be able to view HQ previews in order to continue using Version Cue - anyone know how to make that happen?

    I was quite calm.
    I've previously posted messages here and always had them answered within an hour or so, so that's why I wasn't sure if I'd posted in the correct forum. It's not that I expect "you" to answer me more quickly. Obviously this question falls between several different products, so I thought maybe I should have found a 'Version Cue' forum or something.
    Sorry, I should have provided version details:
    Bridge version 2.1.1.9
    Version Cue version 3.1.0
    Running on OSX 10.5.4
    It seems to me that one of the main uses of Bridge is to be able to use high quality previews to look through alternate designs. So if this doesn't work with Version Cue, which is all about controlling different versions of designs, that seems unfortunate.

  • Cs5 High quality

    Hello,
    I have CS5 and Display Performance High Quality isn't working… Never had this problem it has always worked but now, I choose like I normally do to stop the graphic from being distorted and nothing happens… Any suggestions of how to correct?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Can you check the settings for High Quality display in "Preferences > Display performances > Adjust View Settings". The display settings for each of the display performance is picked up from the preferences stored here.

  • Export Media Question re H.264 PAL DV Widescreen High Quality

    Using Premiere Pro CS4.
    Why is the movie that I export being squashed into the 4:3 (tall and skinny) syndrome when I export using the following settings and view in Quicktime Player 7.6?
    I captured the video straight from my video camera as DV AVI PAL 720 x 576 (1.4587).
    I export the media as follows:
    Format: H.264
    Preset: PAL DV Widescreen High Quality
    Summary - PAL, 720 x 576, 25FPS
    It seems to be only happening with my .mp4 exports!?  i.e. the 16:9 ratio is perfect when I export to Microsoft AVI.
    The really bizarre thing is I uploaded a squashed looking video to my Vimeo account and it displayed correctly (16:9) after processing!  Why then doesn't it play correctly in Quicktime Player?
    Am I missing something in the Quicktime Player settings?
    Please help! 

    Here is how to correct this issue in the QT file permanently so it opens in a QT player correctly .
    Open your mov in QT Pro
    Show Movie Properties  (Ctrl-J)
    Click on Video Track
    Click on Visual Settings Tab
    Un check the Preserve Aspect Ratio box
    (Here is where you now need to do some math to change the 4x3 to 16:9 ratio)
    Divide the Vertical Pixel Dimension  by 1.78 and enter the result in the Vert Dimension box
    Ensure the Preserve Aspect Ratio box is UNCHECKED
    Hit Tab key and notice the image in the QT window change.
    In the QT Window Menu - File>Save  (Save is important!)
    Heres an example:
    QT movie Original is 320x240
    Divide 240 x1.78    ( ie. 240/1.78=134)
    Bingo!

    No Hugh! You'll be fine - if you have an external monitor it will need to contend with PAL.

  • High Quality Export for Youtube

    What are the best settings to get a very high quality export to upload to youtube? I am using final cut pro 6, with anamorphic dv footage - i'd like the dimensions to be 854x480 to be widescreen unless i can push it the full 1280. i haven't been happy with my uploads and usually see some pixellation, esp. in dark areas. the file sizes are usually like 400mb for 3 min. or so. i use compressor sometimes. i have something special that needs to look good and any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
    Message was edited by: derdav

    DV is always 720x480. Your 854x480 file is adjusted to display those 720 pixels in wide screen on a computer. DV pixels are not square. Computers only display square pixels. In this case, that's OK.
    ...unless i can push it the full 1280...
    This will lose quality, you are spreading the 720 pixels over 1280.
    For YouTube, upload either the original DV and let YT compress it or make a H.264 file in Compressor with the same pixel dimensions. Newer versions of Compressor have YouTube presets.

  • Help with getting high quality DVDs from AVCHD footage

    Hello,
    I know enough about video editing with PE7 to be dangerous, and was hoping someone could help me out.
    My question is regarding getting the highest quality standard DVD from AVCHD footage. I have a Sony HDR-SR12 camcorder recording in AVCHD. I am editing footage natively in AVCHD with PE7 on a quad core system. No problem with that. However, when I export to standard DVD the quality of the video goes down drastically. (Yes, I know burning to Blu-ray would give me higher quality, but I am giving this DVD to a friend who doesn't have Blu-ray).
    So far I have tried starting my project in both HD 1080i 30 5.1 channel:
    General
    Editing mode: HDV 1080i
    Timebase: 29.97 fps
    Video Settings
    Frame size: 1440h 1080v (1.333)
    Frame rate: 29.97 frames/second
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD Anamorphic 1080 (1.333)
    and Full HD 1080i 30 5.1 channel:
    General
    Editing mode: HD 1080i
    Timebase: 29.97 fps
    Video Settings
    Frame size: 1920h 1080v (1.000)
    Frame rate: 29.97 frames/second
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels (1.0)
    But I see no discernable difference in the quality of my output onto DVD.
    This is where my knowledge is lacking...how can I get the best quality output from my AVCHD onto a standard DVD? Is there some format I can convert to first, and then burn to DVD? Also, I am willing to break the footage into a couple of DVDs to improve the quality, but I don't know how or what to do for that.
    My footage looks REALLY great when viewing from the HDR-SR12 direct to HD TV with HDMI cable, but not very good on the DVD. My footage is of a ballet recital, and I lose definition in the faces, costumes, etc on the DVD output.
    Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
    Gina

    Hey Gina,
    This may be a year late, but as I have been pulling my hair out trying to solve this problem for the last 48 hours I finally did find somewhat of a work around, but it requires Adobe PP CS4.2.
    There is a plug-in here:
    http://www.mainconcept.com/site/prosumer-products-4/mpeg-pro-hd-7850/features-7861.html
    Which will actually output your edit as an AVCHD file. You can then burn this straight to an AVCHD using Nero 9 and keep the highquality level of your clips and not need Blu-Ray. The DVD player will need to be AVCHD capable, but I just bought one of those for $40 as compared to the $200+ of most Blu-Ray players.
    Hope that helps.
    Regards,
    DSW

  • Exporting h.264 with CS4 vs CS3

    Maybe I'm just dumb and this is an easy question....I'm not sure, but here goes:
    I had a project in Premiere Pro CS3, a music video. I'm used to exporting videos as quicktime with an h.264 codec for online streaming from CS3, and they always looked great. A lot of websites cap video uploads to 500MB or a gig, so it was a perfect way to get a high quality video on the net. The 3 minute music video I was working on became a great looking 450MB h.264 movie.
    With CS4 and the adobe media encoder, things are a bit different. I export as a quicktime movie with the h.264 codec, at the same settings (100% quality) but it looks awful. The same music video was around 80MB and didn't look anywhere near the quality of same video exported from CS3. I've tried a number of options and presets, and havn't been able to get the same quality or size file.
    I even checked both files in G-Spot codec reader (great tool) and they were the exact same AVC1-h.264 codec.
    What is happening here? Is the codec somehow used differently in CS4 than in CS3? Is there something I'm not doing to get a high quality h.264 movie out of CS4?
    Thanks,
    Peter

    The bitrate of your output movie depends on your Export Settings. At the bottom of the Preset list is "Edit Export Settings". There you can adjust all the settings just like CS3.

  • Exporting h.264 and color managment

    I'm wondering what everyone that owns the production suite does with color management.
    If you open Adobe Bridge....what are you color management settings?    The reason I'm asking is that I've got two 2408WFP monitors and I'm using CS3.  Everything looks great in Premiere CS3, but when export to h.264 I get horrible contrast results.  It really looks over exposed.  I've checked my Adobe Media Encoder settings and I'm exporting at 100% with 20,000kbps and it still looks like garbage.
    When I play the same footage on a iMac....it looks under exposed to the point I can barely see it.
    If this is a monitor calibration issue, how do you recommend I calibrate?  What do you use and what are your settings?  Also, does anyone else here use a 2408WFP monitor?
    Much thanks!

    It has to do with default Gamma settings.  Mac are 1.8,(until Snow Leopard, which is now 2.2) PC is 2.2
    PC's look a little brighter, more washed out compared to MAC.  You should get a monitor calibration image from the net, and adjust your monitor.
