Exported Images Have Jagged Edges

I was wondering if there was a way to eliminate the jagged edges on images exporting from a sequence in Final Cut Pro. I want to use stills from my video as the menu background for my DVD and I want to have as nice of an image as possible.
I am working in SD with video captured from a Sony VX2100 if that makes a difference regarding quality.
Thanks for any and all help.

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.

Images have jagged edges when rotated in Keynote 6.1

After upgrading to Keynote 6.1, I'm having problems when rotating images that I've imported to my slides. Any time I rotate an image that's not on a 45, 90, 180 angle, the image has jagged edges.
Here's a screenshot as an example. The image is on 4 degree angle.
Any ideas?

Sorry, in haste I forgot to mention this also:
Use an appropriate slide size, as a minimum resolution I match the slide size (Keynote > Inspector > Setup Slide Size), to the resolution of the display I am using, in my case 1920 x 1200.
I always resize the images I bring into Keynote with the same pixel resolution as the slide size.

Imported images have jagged edges when scaled down

Perhaps I'm missing something really obvious (like the quality thing in the After Effects timeline), but I imported a Photoshop image, a logo, scaled it down to 15%, and it has jagged edges. Ditto for a TIFF version of same. Starting resolution is plenty large.

You can adjust the apparent size of the image in the "media" tab of the property inspector. Select the photo in the media bin (not the layer in the timeline), then the media tab in the insepctor.
try reducing the size of the image to the size you are scaling it to (of course, you'll have to adjust the scale property of objects in the timeline which use that image). for example, if the image is 1000px wide, and you're scaling it 15%, then adjust the media size to 150px and restore the scale to 100%.
YMMV but it's worked well for me. sometimes adding a slight gaussian blur helps (<.25). it would be more effective to scale in an image editing app (like photoshop) to the desired size, but this is more flexible.

Illustrator images with jagged edges when converting a document to pdf

Hi,
Illustrator CS6.
I created some images in illustrator. Saved the images as a .tff. Put the images in a Word.docx. Looks great. Convert the word.docx to a pdf and my images have jagged edges. I have anti-alaising check in my preferences but still the image looks bad.
Any suggestions?
thanks

Did you resize the images larger than when inserted into Word?
What resolution did you export the TIF from AI at?
What was the Anti-aliasing setting (type or art optimized or none)?
Are you using Word's Save As PDF, or the Adobe Acrobat add-on?
Are you viewing the result in Acrobat (or Adobe Reader) at 100% or larger?

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.

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.

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.

Shapes Created in AI CS6 Have Jagged Edges

Hi Everyone,
I have Illustrator CS6 and I've noticed something odd. Whenever I create shapes they have jagged edges. I've attached a screenshot so you can see this. I'm wondering if it's a setting or something that I don't have turned on (or off). Or perhaps it's something else. I've never noticed jagged edges in Illustrator before so I'm curious why it may be happening now.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Doug,
As (the other) Doug said.
You may enjoy how the (slight) jaggedness becomes relatively smaller as you zoom in; that is an obvious way of determinning whether you have vector or raster artwork.
When you print, the visibility of jaggedness depends on the print method and resolution of spots/dots/lines/whatever, and when you present artwork on the web and similar, the jaggedness will depend on (the settings of) the monitors of the receivers/visitors.

Pasted Ai graphics (svg) have jagged edges

I am working on an animation in Edge Animate and have been copy and pasting all the assets from Illustrator. I noticed that the result, whether it is in the Edge interface or the published HTML file, has jagged edges. I assumed that they would be smooth since Edge was creating vector files, but that is not the case.
Here's what I'm seeing:
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

We were able to solve the above issue that Micah was facing with SVG. Posting this here for the benefit of others seeing the same issue.
Description:
In Edge Animate CC there existed a SVG pixilation issue which is observed on browsers when any SVG content is animated with “scale up” transform. To solve this problem in Edge Animate CC 2014 we are scaling up the container div by a factor of 10 (which is by default) and then using image filtering to reduce the resolution based on the inverse scale. Property panel will show this inverse transform scale since that is the transform scale applied to the svg element.
This scale factor can be changed from:
1.      Close Animate
2.      Open the preference folder:
a.      Windows: C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Edge Animate\4.0.0\
b.      Mac: /Users/{username}/Library/Prefrences/Adobe/EdgeAnimate/4.0.0/
3.      Open the AppPrefs.xml file in a text editor.
4.      Search for the Current line in AppPrefs.xml:
<key>SvgAntiScaleFactor</key>
<float>10</float>
Update this to:
<key>SvgAntiScaleFactor</key>
<float>1</float>
5.      Launch Animate
6.      Now try to copy the assets from Ai to Edge and check if you still see the jagged edges. Note: reopening the old composition with the new preference settings will not help. You will need to re-copy the assets with the new preference setting for this to work.
Thanks,
Sujai

Why does my exported video have black edges?

Hi Everyone,
Somehow my video must be changing frame sizes or something to that extent. I have thin black edges on my exported video. I have checked carefully and my output and source settings match to my visual knowledge. Please help.

Mark,
I can show you the player in Premier but I wouldn't know how to export the encoded clip back into Premiere LOL. I'm a total newbie at CS6. And I don't know how to upload a clip, I don't even know how to screen shot it through my notebook. I tried print screen and I get nothing so I am going through my mobile device to upload everything. Thank you guys for your patience and help.

Exported images have extra noise that looks like stars

Hello all, I don't know what Ive done but since I upgraded to Lightroom 5 I have a problem. I use it for images of the sky but now when I export, Ive tried tiff, jpeg and PSD, there is a great deal of noise that looks like thousands of extra stars and ruins the images. The images look great in Lightroom but not when I export. Can anyone offer some advice please. I'm struggling. Geoff

Are you sure to optimize your detail settings while zoomed into the image at 1:1?

Why do button highlights suddenly have jagged edges after a test burn, especially for round buttons?

Hi, I would like to know how to make menu buttons look perfect when they are highlighted.
Some tutorials I found say that I have to create menus in HD first, then from that Encore would render it to the right size or dimensions. I tried that route as well but still I got the same results.
Buttons look really good on Encore preview but after doing a test burn and playing the disc, I get poor quality buttons that look jaggedy, especially for the round buttons.
Any kind of advice or help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

DVD spec, highlights are limited to 2 bit indexed color. You have probably applied effects to them or used more forgiving color.
Also, the HD to SD downrezzing creates problems for detail that does not have enough pixels left in the SD size.

SVG symbol has jagged edges

Jagged Edges and Unstable Images when converting from Image Sequence to DV

Hi,
I have an Image Sequence (very good quality) that I'm trying to convert using Graphic Converter into DV NTSC Video.
I chose Progressive scan.
I find that the Images appear to have Jagged Edges especially when there is movement involved. Also, the entire image as a whole appears to be Unstable/ Vibrate Slightly.
Does anyone have Experience with this?
Thanks,
Rajnesh Domalpalli

Ntsc dv should be interlaced. also if you are viewing on a computer monitor the footage will appear nasty. It's best to view via an NTSC monitor.Do you have Final cut? if your images are correctly sized you should be able to drop the sequence into a final cut sequence set to DV NTSC and render out the resulting video. You will likely need a multiformat monitor as I believe the standard in India is a PAL variant PAL B not NTSC . in NTSC the screen is filled first by odd lines (Field1) then by even lines (Field2)thus a single pixel line will appear to turn off and on as the screen fills between odd and even lines. Straight lines and angled lines exhibit aliasing and flickering particularily when viewed on a computer monitor because computer screens fill the screen progressively from top to bottom and at a much higher refresh rate than NTSC. hope this helps
