Exporting a movie with the settings "nearest neighbor"

Hello everybody!
I am trying to upscale a movie from an old video game. The resolution is 320x240 and should be upscaled to 1440x1080. The problem is that I don't want Adobe Premiere Pro 6 to upscale it using a chroma subsampling method (http://ingomar.wesp.name/2011/04/dosbox-gameplay-video-capture.html), instead I want to use something similar to the option "nearest neigbor" (the one you have in Adobe Photoshop when you resize images). Why I want this is because I want to keep the pixels from the video game sharp. Is this possible to do?

And if you take a screen cap, import it into Photoshop and upscale by a factor 4 (with Nearest Neighbour) the result is amazing!
Actually, I find that up-rezzing with the Nearest Neighbor algorithm to be about the lowest quality of any of the algorithms. It came first, and is basically a holdover from about PS version 2.5. Bicubic interpolation was added later, and then Bicubic Smoother and Bicubic Sharper.
However, I am always working with continuous tone, high-rez digital photographs, and not screen-caps, so perhaps my material is not the ultimate to judge Nearest Neighbor?
Still, for a 16x increase, about the only thing that I can suggest (and this is for Stills, and not Video) would be Genuine Fractals (once Human Softaware, but acquired by another company). Still, that is beyond the max limit that I would be comfortable with.
Others have mentioned Red Giant's Magic Bullet Instant HD, and I would download the trial, then test. That might be "as good as it get."
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Can I export Quicktime movies with the same quality/compression as DVD

    I would like to export iMovie HD 6 projects as quicktime movies of about the same size, compresson level and quality as I get with iDVD. I would like to watch them on my macbook, but don't want the dvd interface. My attempts have tended to produce something close to full quality that requires too much disk space (10 to 12 G per hour) or tiny, overly compressed videos that only an ipod could love. Does anyone know how to set the custom settings to get this?

    if your projects are Standard (=not HiDef), the iPhone preset in the export options work good for my standards..
    or..
    Export with Quicktime/Options... h264, original res of your project.. ='small' and good looking..

  • Creating a QuickTime movie with the new Canon T5i  camera in iMovie 9.0.9.

    Help needed creating a QuickTime movie with the new Canon T5i  camera in iMovie 9.0.9.  The project is done and looks good...I need help understanding what settings need to be set so I can make a QuickTime movie in the highest quality that would fit the ratio of 16.9 to be sent out to my YouTube page.  I played around with some of the settings and have not come with the right setting for the video.  I want the highest quality with the lowest amount of megabytes…thanks

    I would suggest using SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE and choose 1920x1080 (if your source material supports this).
    That should work well in YouTube.
    If you want to go further with custom QuickTime settings,  here are some that should work, but in my experience, it will be no better than using SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE.
    follow the instructions below to create a .mov video that will work on YouTube:
    In iMovie, select Share > Export Using QuickTime
    Next, you may want to check your Options to verify that the following settings are correct:Video settings
    Compression Type: H.264
    Frame Rate: 30 is preferred. 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97 are also acceptable.
    Data Rate: Automatic
    Key Frames: Automatic
    Frame Reordering: Unchecked
    Audio/Sound settings
    Format: AAC
    Click Show advanced settings and choose Constant Bit Rate as encoding strategy
    Other settings
    Size: Choose the original size of the video
    “Prepare for Internet Streaming”: Fast Start

  • HT3130 trying to export a 4 minute video to desktop.  Only 1:08 seconds exports.  I've tried other clips and they all cut at 1:08.  Used different exports like Quicktime with the same results.

    trying to export a 4 minute video to desktop.  Only 1:08 seconds exports.  I've tried other clips and they all cut at 1:08.  Used different exports like Quicktime with the same results.

    Good to hear that you've had some success with the import.
    I tried 3 times to do it before I finally changed it to H.264, and it worked on the first try.  The quality of the compression was terrible with those settings compared to my standard settings, but I'm just glad it worked.
    Rather than Share>Export using QuickTime and then choosing your own settings for H.264, you may get a better result if you simply use the Share>Export Movie option. Alternatively, use the Share>Media Browser option (as I mentioned in my earlier post). You will be presented with a range of sizes to choose from. Depending on your target, it's usually best to select the highest size available, such as Large, HD 720p or HD 1080p. However, for producing a DVD it's best to not go beyond the HD 720p size, as the DVD will be downscaled during encoding to Standard Definition in the appropriate size for either PAL or NTSC.
    In my experience, both these options (Export Movie or Media Browser) produce a video file of excellent quality. The files will be in H.264 format and will have the file extension .mov or .m4v depending on the size of the export. I'm assuming that your camera records HD video in AVCHD format.
    These files work well with iDVD (or other DVD authoring programs). The export process for the presets is optimised by Apple to produce high quality video files at a reasonable file size. So, selecting a preset may give you a much better result. Choosing your own H.264 settings when using the "Export using QuickTime" method could be why "the compression was terrible". You may have selected a data (bit) rate that was too low. There is always a trade-off between quality and file size when compressing video.
    So, to summarise, try one of the Apple presets using either Share>Export Movie or Share>Media Browser.

  • Make my files move with the Finder window?

    I don't know how many of you are familiar with Windows, but in Windows Explorer, whenever you changed the size of the window you were viewing your files in, the files would move with the size of the window while still staying in the same order. When I resize a window in the Finder, my files stay in the exact same position they were before. They don't move with the window. Does anybody know a way to change this?

    Actually, it is possible, but it depends on what view style (Icon, List, Column View, etc.) and what view options are set.
    From your description, I assume you're referring to a Windows window that was in Icon view, such as the Control Panels window (when viewed in Classic Mode, that is).
    You can do this in a Finder window if you switch to Icon view, choose View > Show View Options, and then change the "Arrange by" popup button to something other than None or Snap to Grid. For example, choose Name (how the Control Panels' window would be sorted), and then when you resize the window, the items will be "redistributed" in rows from left to right accordingly.
    When you said "When I resize a window in the Finder, my files stay in the exact same position they were before.", that corresponds to the Arrange by setting of "None". This choice provides a way to arrange items in a "spatial" manner. For example, on your Windows Desktop, you might have put your Recycle Bin icon in the lower left, Computer icon at location X, Y, etc. In this particular mode, the location of the item is considered "important" and it won't be moved just because you made the window larger or smaller.
    The "Snap to Grid" is the same as the None (spatial), except that when you explicitly drag and drop an item to position it, it is automatically aligned into the nearest grid "cell" (row and column combination).
    Hope this helps....

    Google seems to change their login security occasionally, and apps that assume it will work a particular way get left out in the cold till they are updated, since the login process is hard-coded into the app.

  • Exporting Reference Movies with Lion and QT X

    Has anybody else had issues exporting Reference Movies from FCP7 under Lion?
    When we open a Reference Movie created with FCP7/Lion in QT X 10.1 (the version that ships with Lion), we're only able to see the first frame of the movie, followed by black/blank video, and audio only.
    Curiously, QT7 (on Lion) and QT X 10.0 (on Snow Leopard) are able to play these movies without a problem.  However, a number of 3rd-party applications and devices that we use in our facility (most notably an Omneon Spectrum) choke on the reference movies in a similar manner to QT X 10.1.
    We've got a support ticket open with Omneon, although they claim to have never heard of the problem, and are currently picking their way through the issue as well.  However, there are scattered reports of others who are having similar problems.
    For the sake of thoroughness, it's worth mentioning that this is a brand-new Mac Pro with Lion 10.7.2, and FCP 7.0.0; both fresh installs (apparently downgrading to SL is unsupported on this machine).  We tried patching FCP to 7.0.3 with Pro Application Update 2010-02, which did not resolve the problem.  We've since reverted to 7.0.0, to rule out the patch as the culprit. The reference movies in question do not contain any edits that would require a render, and everything's stored on a NAS that's accessible to the whole office (hence the fact that we're able to view the files on our Snow Leopard machines.
    Picking apart the reference movie using Apple's Atom Inspector shows one curious detail in the alias data inside 'dref' atom inside of the reference movie (which is how QT figures out where the original media is).  Rather than being a simple file pointer, the alias actually contains a whole bunch of information, including the "relative" path to the video data, relative to the original location of the reference movie, as well as the absolute path of that file, starting from the root of the filesystem.  Both of these paths are presented in "Mac" and "Unix" formats, ie:
    Mac:   volume:folder1:folder2:filename
    Unix: /volume/folder1/folder2/filename
    Key difference is the use of colons, rather than slashes to separate folders in the path.  At least, that was the key difference prior to Lion.  We've noticed that, while the SL machines export reference movies with paths that resemble the above, our Lion machine generates:
    Mac:   volume:folder1: folder2: filename
    Unix: /volume/folder1/folder2/filename
    (Notice the spaces)
    When we attempt to play the movies with our Omneon applications or in QT X 10.1, our NAS throws a whole bunch of 'File not Found' errors.  Presumably, those spaces are the culprit.  Removing the spaces with a hex editor completely mangles the QT movie, and renders it compltetely unplayable.
    Unfortunately, the alias data inside the dref atom doesn't appear to be a standard Mac OS alias, and the only documentation of the alias file format (linked above) is hilariously out of date.  Presently, the format is undocumented, and it appears that developers are discouraged from interacting with the files directly.  In other words, I have no way of knowing whether or not the spaces are actually significant, or are a completely innocuous and documented part of the file format.
    Has anybody encountered anything similar, or found a solution?  I'm at a bit of a dead-end here, and would welcome any advice.

    I totally understand where you're coming from; Apple's support of some of QuickTime's more advanced features has unfortunately been waning for some time now. 
    Avoiding the buggy parts of the program is always a good strategy, although the ability to quickly export reference movies is something that is absolutely vital to our workflow.  Simply put, losing these files is an absolute dealbreaker.
    Two things seem to be going on... FCP on Lion appears to be generating slightly malformed reference movies, and QT X 10.2 seems to be freaking out when it tries to play back those movies (while prior versions are seemingly able to work around the problem).  I suppose this could have something to do with the introduction/evolution of QTKit and AV Foundation on Lion, although I'm surprised that this would be affecting FCP7, which was built around older APIs.

  • Why does my iPods background move with the movement of the device?

    I noticed something wierd with my iPods background. When I tilt the device up and down vertically the background moves with the device and the apps stay still. Is this supposed to happen? And if so what feature of the device causes this.

    Sounds like you have dynamic wallpaper turned on/using one.
    Go to Settings>Wallpaper and check/change.
    Do you have iOS 8
    You say 7.1.2.

    Hi Brian,
    Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
    Thanks for your help though!

  • HT201209 I bought a movie with the digital copy and it gives me option to redeem it with iTunes, but when I type in the redeem code it shows a message saying: you must insert your digital copy dvd in the computer in order to redeem this code" . The dvd is

    I bought a movie with the digital copy and it gives me option to redeem it with iTunes, but when I type in the redeem code it shows a message saying: " you must insert your digital copy dvd in this computer in order to redeem this code" . The dvd is in. WTH? This is especially with FOX movies, I never have trouble with Universal Picture movies.

    Thanks for your reply, but you might have misunderstood it a bit. I'm NOT trying to buy a movie. ****, I'm not even in the actual Apple Store, when this happens I'm in the library not the Store part of iTunes.
    To clarify - I have purchased a physical copy of a movie which came with another physical copy which contains the digital copy. The digital copy is on the DVD, all I need is just to transfer this file to my iPod Touch, for example, I'm not trying to download it from the store or repurchase it and it's not any gift code that I've received, the digital copy is on the disc. This is the first time ever that I've purchased something on a disc and I'm not allowed to access it because the disc hasn't been purchased within my country.
    So again - I'm not attempting any purchase or download any purchased digital copy - it's on a DVD I own physically so... why is even the region of my Store relevant, the code I enter is (as I assume) just supposed to check if it's a legal genuine copy (which it is, as I've said - there are 6 discs in the pack: 3 movies on 3 Blu-rays and 3 DVD containing these digital copies of them). If I own it, I think that's proof enough that I have the right to use it. I just don't get it. I fully agree with you and understand your point if there was any purchase going on here, but it's not, it's just - I put a disc into my computer and I can't access it
