Export to quicktime=photoshop logos have rough edges

I work @ a TV station and we are switching to a tapeless format for getting finished promos from my department to the department who plays the promos spots on the air.
I use FCP 4.5. here is the issue
Our station logo goes in the bottom right corner of the screen on all of the spots I make. When I dub these to tape it looks perfect and smooth. When I export to quicktime (720 x 486, self contained movie compressor=none) the edges of the station logos become jagged, and blocky/pixilated. Does anyone have any idea what I might do to fix this problem? I have tried multiple ways of exporting but can't seem to get it to work. The logos are all Photoshop files.The machine the spot has to play on @ the other end of the FTP is a windows system using video2dv software.

when i export, i use quicktime conversion, compression=none, size=NTSC 720x486
and sometimes i try compression type uncompressed 10bit.
The files that look bad are photoshop files with clear backgrounds super imposed onto video backplates.
I am not well versed in all of the technical lingo involving codecs.
I capture via AJA composite 10bit. It always looks flawless going to tape, i am using NTSC monitors to view everything, it even looks good when I open the exported quicktime file before I upload to the FTP server.

Why does this logo have jagged edges?

I'm working on a new logo and before I get too far along I need to resolve this issue; why does this shape have jagged edges when posted on the web?
you can see it on-line auctionontario.ca
Thx

auctioneer,
Obviously, you are using the transparency available for the GIF format.
In addition, you should tick the Anti-Aliasing which is, unfortunately, hidden away like a hidden feature in the Image Size window within Save for Web.

No audio when exporting to Quicktime

I am attempting to export a movie that has both silent clips and clips with sound. In iMovie the sound clips have the expected audio, but when I try to Export to Quicktime Movie I have no audio at all. My intention is to eventually burn this movie to a DVD to play on a stand-alone DVD player connected to my TV. FYI, I tried exporting numerous times with different option settings including (1) unchecking "Prepare for Internet Streaming", (2) Prepare for...Fast Start, and (3) Prepare for...Fast Start Compressed. None of these worked.

The reason I think this is worth trying... A G5 should have enough processor speed, but it lacks a graphics card that can offload the processor for some of the heavy lifting...therefore less resources available for audio.
Also, I would recommend that you create a duplicate of your project and cut it down to about 5 minutes or less (go to Project Library. Right-click on project name, and select Duplicate). Then you can test this without waiting 4-5 hours.

Quality difference between exporting via Export vs. Export using Quicktime

In iMovie 08, is there a difference in quality between Exporting a movie at the largest available size via the "Export" menu item, versus using "Export using Quicktime"?
I have a very long movie of family movies (9 hours) and have been unable to do a straight export (gets to the end after 25 hours or so and gives me a non-descript "can't complete" error message), but would rather split it up into several smaller files than compromise on quality, if there is such a compromise using the Quicktime function.
If I do go the Quicktime route, what settings should I choose, or just the default. Also, Export using Quicktime option makes a .mov file. What file type does the straight "Export" function create?
thanks much!

What file type does the straight "Export" function create?
All presets are compressed as H.264/AAC content.
Also, Export using Quicktime option makes a .mov file.
The MOV file container is "generic" and may contain any form of compressed data compatible with the QT components installed on your system and which the accessing application will allow you to use. In the case of iMovie '08, proprietary and third-party components are not allowed even if installed.
If I do go the Quicktime route, what settings should I choose, or just the default.
You use the audio and video codec and settings best suited to the goals of your export. Since you have not mentioned what your are trying to do with your exported content, it is impossible to make any recommendations here.

A 9 hour export at the largest (960x540) dimensions implies a 4.128 Mbps data rate which equates to a file on the order of about 16 GBs in size. As you did not mention which export/sharing option you were using or if everything was being done on a single hard drive, such an export may require a total of 48-64 GBs of available storage space for temporary, Media Browser, and target/duplicate file(s) plus free memory for rendering purposes. So one of your potential problems could be file space availability.
As a general rule, increases in the duration of your target movie may require geometric increases in either available file space or the time it takes to perform the processing. It is, therefore, usually better to "chunk" your projects (break them into smaller, more manageable segments than to process them as a single project/file) and process the segments independently. In addition most people will not watch a 9-hour movie in one sitting in any case. (I have gone as high as 5 hours but even the product of this effort amounted to less than 4 GBs of file space.)
To "chunk" an iMovie '08 project, simply duplicate your completed project as many times as needed and then divide each into manageable segments and deleting segments so as to remove the duplicated segments. I would likely consider 6 segments targeted at about 90 minutes each but division of content anywhere between 60 and 120 minutes would probably be considered "manageable" for most purposes.
In iMovie 08, is there a difference in quality between Exporting a movie at the largest available size via the "Export" menu item, versus using "Export using Quicktime"?
There should be no difference in quality if you use the same compression formats and target settings. Changing either the compression format (each of which may have its own particular characteristics) or the settings (such as the data rate which directly affects both file size and quality) will usually produce visual differences in your product.

Images imported from QT exported image sequence have jagged edges

Hi
I've come across something strange which I'd like to resolve.
I export an image sequence from QuickTime.
I then import this into Aperture.
But the images imported into Aperture now have jagged edges where there has been any movement in the original footage.
The images originally exported from QuickTime look absolutely fine when viewed with preview, they have the expected blurring on moving objects, but no jaggedness.
Now, a bit more detail.
The footage I'm exporting from was shot by me and came from a Final Cut Pro edit.
The codec in the QT movie is Apple Intermediate Codec and this is interlaced.
The jagged edges on movement look to me like the problem of interlaced not being converted to progressive.
However the exported images from QuickTime don't display this when viewed in Preview, it is only when viewed in Aperture that the jagged edges become apparent.
I have tried exporting from QuickTime to jpg, png and psd, but the problem is identical no matter which format I use.
I really want to now use Aperture to improve these exported images, but with this jagged edge problem I can't.

Hi JNorris--
Sounds like you need to apply the deinterlace filter (Effects tab: video filters: video: deinterlace) to the stills your exporting.
See if that makes a difference to start.

Adjusting pixels in PhotoShop CS4 and removing 'rough edges'

PhotoShop CS4
WinVista Ultimate
Need: 1) File #1 - I need to adjust the pixels on an *.eps file to a maximum of 600 pixels. The entire drawing is a single layer to my knowledge.
2) File #2: - I also need to adjust the rough edges of a 'cloud' that surrounds some text. Also, *.eps. The 'cloud' is separate from the text. If I remember correctly, I need to 'fill in' the 'cloud'.
Both file sizes are <1MB.
Eventually, I'd like to combine File #1 with File #2.
File #1 and #2: Status: Currently, I have some *.jpg and *.eps files that need adjustments that were created 2+ years ago. Being new to PS CS4, some guidance would be appreciated.
TIA!

Hi Barbara
Are your photos in iPhoto or are you using some other Photo Software?
The latest version of iPhoto is a lot different than iPhoto 6 for example. In iPhoto 06 you could burn the Originals from your User Picture Folder using Finder, while in iPhoto 11 it is best to burn them from within the iPhoto Application.
Open iPhoto and select the Event(s) that you want to burn onto the CD, then select Share on the menu bar and click Burn in the drop down.

Then again, maybe you got a bad batch of blank CD's and need to try another?

Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1 Lightroom is version 5.7 Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky. I tried dumping PS preferences

I have FCE 4.0.1 and running OS x 10.7.5 when i burn my movie the audio from my movie clips don't come through . My Sound effects and music can be heard. I export to Quicktime movie, make it self contained then open IDVD for an intro and burn it.

I have FCE 4.0.1 and running OS x 10.7.5 when i burn my movie the audio from my movie clips don't come through . My Sound effects and music can be heard. First I export to Quicktime movie, make it self contained then open IDVD for an intro and burn it. everything sounds great in preview but then ( once again)I lose my audio from my movie clips.

Try Mixing Down the audio before export.

With the new Yosemite update (10.10.3) I can no longer transfer my photographs into Adobe Photoshop Elements by the previously expedient 'click and drag' method. Neither am I able to import or export them. Does anyone have suggestion on moving them?

Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
Anyways I digress.
So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
Answers in a postcard :-)
Much love

Photoshop CC 2014 all brushes and erasers have jagged edges

Okey so the problem is happening to my laptop (windows 8) I am using photoshop cc 2014. All my brushes and all of the erasers have jagged edges on soft brush and when I zoom in to 5000 I can clearly see that the edges is not 100% how they should be. Steps I have done to try to fix it is restarting my laptop, uninstall photoshop and re-installing it, reset all my brushes presets, reset all my preferences etc, searched it up on google until I come to this point where I had to ask here in the forums. So please help me I cant stand this anymore I got lots of work to do.

By this time, I'm sure you're already well beyond finished with your project but I just stumbled across the same problem. I created a mask and hit "B" and went straight to painting away but didn't notice the pencil tool was selected (It's in the brush flyout menu). I expanded the flyout menu and switched back to brush and it was fixed.

I have finished my project on Premiere Pro, but when i try to export with Quicktime it fails (sheep sound)

Hi i am in a bit of a sticky situation. I have finished a project in premeire pro and i wnat to export it with quicktime.
I have previously exported, when i used both after effets and premire pro together to make a video, exported it with quicktime and none(compressed) and it worked perfectly.
There were some minor changes and edits i needed to make, but when i was making these changes my 30 day trail had run out , so i used my brothers account who was also on a trial they was still valid.
After finalisng my work i attempted to export, again with the same settings: Quicktime, Uncompressed. but it has been failing on media encoder

RDA972, thanks for the reply.
Yes i am using a PC, i just wanted to ask before rebooting the laptop and disabling the Hyper threading,Is it possible to have a unfinalized Premier Pro project saved as a Adobe premier file on to my USB, then that saved file on the USB stick, inserted into a different Laptop that wasn't originally used to make the Premier Pro project, but has Adobe Media encoder and adobe creative cloud in the same version.
the reason i asked this is because this is my situation and i was wondering if the different Pc had anything to do with the exporting

Quicktime pro -I have exported two mp4 to web formats with no problems. all of a sudden it is now stopping and shutting down. I am on a pc with windows 7 Help!

Is the problem limited to a specific file that you're exporting?

Do you have to finalize before you export to quicktime?

do you have to finalize before you export to quicktime?

No. They are basically doing the same thing.
Finalize is an export using QuickTIme, using certain presets (h.264) in all available sizes. And you don't get to specify where it is saved. It is saved in the Project Package, and is accessible to all the iLife Apps through the Media Browser.
With Export to QuickTIme you have flexibility to render in many video codecs, many audio codecs, and you can tweak the settings,

Recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion then Mavericks. I have Final Cut Express and when I export to Quicktime, and open to play the movie, Quicktime starts to "convert" it? What is this about????

Recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion then Mavericks. I have Final Cut Express and when I export to Quicktime, and open to play the movie, Quicktime starts to "convert" it? What is this about????

My existing movies are all the following types straight from FinalCut
Apple Intermediate Codec, 1920 × 1080, Millions
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
This particular movie is 6.66 Gb
The new Quicktime player in OS Mavericks converts these to the following format:
Apple ProRes 422, 1920 x 1080
Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 48000 Hz
And a movie size of 6.48 Gb
Please, please can someone tell me why?
