Exporting graphics over interlaced futage

I would realy aprishiate your help on this one!!
And sory for my poor english.
working on pc p5q deluxe core2quad 8gb ram vista 64
After effects cs4
Im working on 1920:1080 50i square pixels uper field first futage and I aplied some graphics in after effects. But when I render it in same interlace resolution and import (interpretate futage) the futage looks good but graphics like text and every other element drown in after effects looks in poor resolution. I have to deliver interlaced futage and i tryed everything I could think of with no resoults.
befour rendering I render preview and everything looks perfect, but when I render it(1920:1080, sqere picsel, uper field first, TIFF sequence, same as the footage) and import renderd sequence back on top of layers to compare, the footage looks perfect but graphics look 5% blured.
Is it posibile that only a part of the same, renderd footage is previewed incorectly ??
I always interpretate futage as it is captured or renderd.
Delivery metod is a little tricky too, I have to export to editors interlaced footage so they could put it in their project and further down the line they will send whole film to the laboratory so they can deinterlace everything together and transfer it to 35mm so even if it looks good on interlaced monitor will it look the same on the film??
plese help!!

Thank you so much four reply, I tried with OpenGL rendering on and off but the problem is still there
and I watched it on interlaced monitor, it looked little better but not perfect. But I realy think that the problem is in my work flow so I made this smaller and much simpler project where I get the same kind of defect and maybe you could tell me where I made mistake??
-open new project make new comp(dv pal sqere picsel) and make one text leyer(I wrote "test" with big futura bold font, white font against black bg).
then animate text, I applied expresion to rotation time*120. Add to render queue and go to render settings and set field render to upper field first
quality best resolution full ofcourse, and in otput module chouse TIff sequence and render it.
Then I imported renderd tiffs,interpreted them as upper field first and edges of the text look like they lost a half of resolution horisontaly.
..ok, if its my monitor than i shuld be able to deinterlace that and see a normal picture right??
Add that new comp to render queue and export with same settings just change upper fild to no field. and again i get the same problem vith edges.
obviesly i make some mistake in that proces but if that same proces works great with captured interlaced futage why do I get this problems with grphics made in after efeects and how do you combine those two(interlaced fotage and AE graphics) and export them as same interlaced footage??
Is that the right way of interlacing the graphics made in after efeects??
and Thank you once again, I will appreciate any thoughts and help on the subject.

  • Graphics for Interlaced & Progressive Video.

    I had started an earlier thread addressing this issue. The answer I received didn't achieve the results I was looking for so I presented the information a little better. Thank you.
    I am having interlacing issues producing graphics for a video destined for both the web and broadcast.
    The video's main output will be interlaced on a DVD, the project uses mixed sources both progressive and interlaced. Graphics produced for this piece have been exported from motion with field rendering on.
    Approval for this video is done over the internet on youtube. I must deinterlace the video so that it may be displayed on youtube correctly. The problem is that the graphics in the video get ugly stairstepping in them due to the deinterlacing. Deinterlacing is done through compressor's frame controls.
    What is the best method for producing graphics for a video that is destined for both TV and the web? Should I be working in both a progressive and an interlaced timeline (exporting graphics either interlaced or progressive for each timeline). Producing only a progressive video is not valid in this case because we want the interlaced video assets to maintain their interlacing for television. Is there something I can do with my interlaced timeline/video to make the graphics look good when changed to progressive?

    The methods provided in the previous thread ARE the best methods. That you're having issues is indicative of something else perhaps. It would be best if you could provide a sample of the two clips and the issue you're seeing. Also, a complete accounting of the footage and graphics would help as well. Here is an example:
    +Video is DV/NTSC 720x480 29.97, lower field dominance.+
    +Graphics are Text. Font Arial bold, 28 point in Boris Title tool.+
    +Compressor settings: DVD Best 90. Frame controls: Deinterlace (better), output progressive.+
    +Here's a pic of the stairstepping I'm seeing after Compressor [provide link]+

  • Problem keying graphics over video when exported.

    Hey
    I'm new to FCE, but I work professionally in the television industry doing graphics/compositing/3d.
    Outside of work, I mess around with my own movies and hardware.
    I'm cutting together a piece shot with my Canon VIXIA HG20 camera. The footage/project is 720p.
    My problem is that when I key a graphic over the video, it looks great while working in Final Cut, but when I export a full quality video, the graphics cause the entire screen to shift levels. The saturation drastically changes the instant the graphic begins to fade on. It doesn't shift gradually with the fade. This is only visible after export. The graphic is rendered. The image is a 32-bit Targa. The levels in the graphic are within the NTSC broadcast color range. I prepped it the same as I've done for years professionally.
    I don't think this is a compression issue, because the change happens immediately, before the graphic is even barely visible.
    I looked around, but couldn't find anyone with similar issues, but hopefully this has already been figured out by someone.
    Any answers or suggestions are much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Colin

    Thanks for your reply.
    As far as I know, targas can only be RGB. I couldn't find a way in Photoshop to work in YCbCr. I have Photoshop CS, so its pretty old, but even on my work computer, which has CS3, I didn't see anything. Next week I'll be installing CS4, so there might be something in that.
    I won't be able to test anything until late tonight, but I'll try several formats to see if they make a difference. I'm wondering if there might also be some kind of option in FCE to convert imported graphics to the correct color space.
    When keying graphics over video in your projects, how do you save them(formate,color space, etc)? Ever see this issue?
    Thanks for your help

  • Export Graphic w/Transparency, CS6 Server, Fail

    I have a script that loops through all graphics inside an adobe indesign document. The script senses what type of graphic file it is (JPEG, TIFF, EPS, PSD, etc), and, based on some simple rules, the graphic will get exported as either a JPEG, or a PNG.
    For source graphics that have the POTENTIAL to have transparent pixels in them (TIFF, EPS, et al), the export format is set to PNG. For all others, the export format is set to JPEG.
    This has been running quite well for some time now, until I switched over a development server to CS6. It was just discovered, this morning, that graphics w/transparent pixies get exported as a PNG, but, where my transparency USED TO BE, I now see a big ugly piece of white. It's terrible.
    I've scoured the documentation looking for an answer. Suprisingly, I see a new batch of PNGExportPreferences that I didn't have available to me in CS5.5, but, none of these seems to do the trick. The one that stands out to me is app.pngExportPreference.transparentBackground = true. The documentation for this property is a bit ambiguous in my particular use-case, and, sadly, doesn't seem to do the trick. I'm still seeing a big ol' white blob where I would expect to see transparency.
    The basic syntax for what I'm doing is:
    d.allGraphics.each(function(graphic){
      graphic.exportFile(ExportFormat.PNG_FORMAT, "graphic.png");
    Ideas?

    NEVERMIND. I am an idiot. The script is running fine. the .transparentBackground setting IS the trick. I just completely FAILED to remember, until now, that MS's paint program cannot handle transparency. I was viewing the exported graphic in Paint. SUCH an idiot.

  • Exporting graphics for Apple iPhone / iPad

    Hi, I'm putting together my first App for the iPhone and I have a question when it comes to exporting my graphics from Photoshop. I have looked all over the web place and I can't find a direct answer, I hoped that someone might have an idea in here?
    My psd has the embedded colour profile - CHROMiX iPhone Aug08 as I have been advised to use from the web. From here all I want to do is export the graphic. I am exporting as a PNG-24. The exported graphic is either slightly washed out or much much darker. As this is my first time in doing it I don't know which is right, nor do I know why I am getting two different results.
    My current colour settings is set to Europe General Purpose
    The psd has been assigned the Chromix profile
    When I export for web as a PNG, sRGB is NOT ticked.
    Any ideas? Please! I am getting nowhere with this....

  • Exporting Graphical Message Mapping in PI 7.1

    Hi All,
    In XI3.0 there was an option to export graphical message mapping by using ctrl+shift on the data flow editor window. Can't find the same in PI7.1.

  • Placing graphics OVER a video in iWeb?

    Hi, I have a video on my iWeb site and I want to place a graphic over it to act kind of like a picture frame. The graphic I want to use has transparent parts I created in photoshop so that, when I "send to front" on iWeb, it appears OVER my video and my video can then be seen behind it. However, when I publish my project and visit my site, the video always appears over the graphic frame I created. Is there a way to make the graphic act as an overlay through html or something?
    Thanks!

    Thanks, everyone! I tried placing the video in a text box. Do I then also place the frame in that same text box? If so, should it then be able to fit over the video? I feel like I must be doing something wrong.
    If I try the other technique of placing the image in the video, is there an easy way to do that in iMovie? I don't have Final Cut.

  • Need Help positioning a graphic over an image.

    Trying to position an arched graphic over an image in the header of this site.  The photoshop image provided shows the three separate components. 1. The white content is one image that houses the main header images and the other three images lower on the page. In CSS it is the #inner-content. 2. #main-content is the teal color  3.  The arch image, which sits inside #arch-container.  The CSS is shown here, but when it is displayed in a browser...the #inner-content sits below the arch image instead of up underneath it.  I have tried many variations within the CSS and can't find the solution.

  • I started and Export PDF over two and half hours ago, and it is still going.  How can I stop it?

    I started an export PDF over two and a half hours ago and it is still going.  I can't stop, and I can't upload export anything else.

    I have the same problem - updates are stuck on loading, and the app store is now also doing the same.  I've tried resetting, but it hasn't made any difference.
    I haven't been able to load iTunes onto my computer - 2 hours on the phone with Apple, as well as 4 hours of my IT guy's time (which I paid for) and no one could help.  So going through iTunes on the computer is not an option for me.
    Is there any way of cancelling or resetting the apps just with the phone?
    Have had the phone for 6 months and this is the first time it's happened, but it's been stuck like that for about a week.  Now I can't update or load any apps.

  • Cannot superimpose graphic over clip of live action

    I did this before so I know I am missing something.
    I am trying to superimpose a LiveTitle graphic over a live action clip. I keep getting the prompt that I cannot due the edit and to check my video tracks. I am trying to slow down the speed of the LiveType graphic clip and it does not seem to be working. Anyone have any ideas on how I can solve these two problems? Thanks.

    You slow down the LT animation inside the LT project. Stretch out the animation and make the text longer. Import the LT project inti FCE and drag it from the browser into the timeline onto the track above your video.

  • Is it possible to overlay graphics over a windows application in flash?

    Good day everyone,
    I was wondering if it is at all possible to overlay graphics from flash over a windows application. I know this can be done using some other languages and tools but since actionscript is the language I know best, I thought I would ask here to see if it was possible.
    What I am trying to do is make a button that will pop up and sit on top of a running windows program. I know that usually in a flash project there is a stage inside of a window and that's what you have to work with but I was thinking there could be a way to remove the window border and make the background invisible and only leave the graphic that I want to show and bring it up to the front of the screen.
    Also as a side question, is there a way to record frames from your flash project and export that as an mp4 or some other video file type?
    Any help with either of these question would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance for any help you are willing to provide.

    Thanks for the answer. For the button I was able to create an Adobe Air project, go into the xml file and change systemChrome to none (<systemChrome>none</systemChrome>) and transparent to true (<transparent>true</transparent>). This made the entire window invisible except for any objects on the stage.
    Now as for the video, this isn't quite the solution I was looking for. My application will take some string from a file and translate them into actions to be displayed. You will be able to pick a file and watch the actions happen inside the flash player. But, if the user would like to keep this set of actions for later and turn it into video, I would like them to be able to do it straight from flash. I guess it would depend on how I set up the playback of the translated actions

  • Put a graphic over/in a video clip

    What I'm trying to do is put the logo Baywatch (but my own version, something stupid like Boobwatch) over a beach scene I have. Since it's not a font, can I do this in iMovie in anyway? I'd create it in Photoshop, but can I get the graphic on top of the video? Something how you put on font on the video rather than "Over Black." I want to put the graphic on the clip.
    If not, are my only other options exporting the video to Photoshop and doing it all in there? Or the second option, making the font?

    I need to buy the plug-ins to do this correctly, but in the meantime, here's what you can do. It won't put your logo over the TOP of the background footage, but it may work until you purchase the plugin that's needed:
    1. Add an edit mark at the beginning and end of the sequence you want to overlay the logo. To put an edit mark, press Apple Key and 'T' at the same time.
    2. Click the clip inside the edit marks by simply clicking on it. It turns dark blue.
    3. Go to Advanced pull-down options and select Extract Audio. This will pull the audio from the selected clip and place it in one of the two audio tracks below the video clips.
    4. While the video clip is still selected, delete it by pressing the Delete key. Don't empty the iMovie trash just in case you need to Undo your move.
    5. Move the logo into your iMovie clip bin, then move it into the video timeline exactly where your previous clips was deleted. If it's longer or shorter than the extracted audio clip below it, double-click the logo image in the timeline and adjust it's duration. I think default is 0:05:00 seconds, but that can be changed. If you imported the logo image from iPhoto, it may have the Ken Burns move pre-selected, in which case you need to un-select Ken Burns, then adjust the duration of the logo image.
    6. Now your extracted audio should play seamlessly along with the logo image.

  • Exported MPEG2 extremely interlaced! HELP!

    Hello,
    I need help with an exported MPEG 2, that after being exported looks really bad interlaced. What should I do to smoothen out those bad interlaced lines?
    Thank you

    What if the DVDs are intended for playback on either a TV or computer or computer/projector? E.g. I am making DVDs but have no control over how they are played. What is the best strategy?
    Is there a way to embed an instruction to the computer playback software that this is an interlaced video and the software should deinterlace it? Or can the software be configured to be smart enough to detect the interlace?
    Or should I make it progressive and will the hardware DVD player re-interlace it for the TV ok?
    Or ???

  • Exported graphics with text from Illustrator - text is very fuzzy

    I am creating graphics in Adobe Illustrator CS3 on a Mac running OSX. The graphics consist of a pie chart and extra explanatory text below it. I do not have the option of doing the text part in another program.
    When I exported as a jpg, put the graphic into Dreamweaver, and then put it onto the web, the text was fuzzy. When I used the Save to Web options, it was even fuzzier.
    I use the default settings for both the jpg export and the Save to Web (gif and jpg) because I'm not sure what they all mean.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Jacob,
    I looked at anti-aliasing and it was already checked for everything I've tried. I looked at the Save for Web gif file settings, and am not sure I understand what you are suggesting. Transparency has been checked for everything I've done. No dither is selected for the setting under that (rather than Diffusion, Pattern, or Noise Transparency Dither) - I don't know what that means.
    I tried both jpg and gif using Save as for the Web. For jpg, I used maximum resolution, Progressive and ICCProfile were not checked, optimized is checked, quality at 100, blur at 0, matte is empty, and under Image Size, anti-aliasing and proportions settings are both checked and clip to artboard is not.
    For gif, I used mostly defaults: selective, diffusion, transparency checked, No transparency dither (as mentioned), interlaced is not checked, image size anti-aliasing is checked and clip to artboard is not. Lossy is 0, colors 256, dither 100%, matte is blank, Amt 10% is grayed out and unchangeable, and web snap 0%. I don't even know what most of that is for.
    When I did all of this, the images were more fuzzy than the one where I just exported from Illustrator as a jpg, which is also too fuzzy.
    The only thing that comes to mind immediately is would this work better if all of the text were changed to outlines? And does anything else come to you that I may have not done?
    Also, just in case you see my screen name, I changed it in between my post and this reply. msbnbb and Early Music Lover are both me.
    Thanks for your help,

  • Export graphic for use in Premiere Pro Cs4

    Hey everyone, I have made some wiring diagrams in AI CS4 and need to have them apear in a DVD, I have tried several cominations and they are not clear on the video.  My settings are RGB, DV NTSC Widescreen, have exported for Web and Devises and in Tiff & Targa 72 & 300 DPI.  The diagram has text that looks fine in all the stills but in Premiere and the exported video the images look like a poor photo copy.  Thought I'd start here before asking in PPro.  Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Mmh, differences between versions aside, you are pretty much getting what you are asking. Any compressed format will have a hard time with perependicular lines and lots of high fequency detail (text, the coil spirals). There's really no way to avoid that otehr than to draw thr graphic differently, i.e. not use straight lines and a different way of presenting the text callouts. Also, you could massively improve perception by having the graphic move with a simple slow pan. the motion will lead to a more favorable distribution of the pixels across the scanlines, as the content changes every frame and in addition, motion blur will help to reduce flicker. Lastly, give the graphic some finesse by perhaps making the lines white and adding a dark outer glow to separate them from the background. these blended areas also help to reduce artifacts that appear with harsh transitions on straight lines. If it's an option , you might even want to use color for the + and - cabling (usually blue and red). As Wade suggested, you might try rendering to a different spec, but depending on what your intended final output is, this may not help at all, so working a bit on the graphic might pay off more.
