Exporting slideshow to .mov file using Ken Burns looks low res?

I've created a slide show using the Ken Burns effect exclusively, and after I export as an .mov file and pull that into iDVD (or watching it in QT player) the moves look like a very low resolution image was used instead of the high res files that I know are there. Any ideas of how to fix this? or is this just the way iPhoto handles the files when using Ken Burns FX.

Have your tried the procedure that seems to solve a variety of problems for the iLife applications? Quit iPhoto and delete your iPhoto preferences. To do this, go to your username> library> preferences> com.apple.iphoto.plist. Delete this file. Then reopen iPhoto; it will create a new preference file with all of the default settings.
Ken Burns also...images do not fit to screen any more.
I am not aware of an option to make the Ken burns effect "fit to screen". This effect is applied in a somewhat random fashion, so what you see on one playing of your slideshow can be slightly different when viewed again. You can avoid undesirable changes, like cutting off the tops of heads, by manually applying the KB effect to photos in question. The control is at the bottom of the window when in the slideshow mode. When you are satisfied with the way the slideshow looks, export it as a QuickTime movie.
I hope this helps.

How can I export a surround sound movie file using compressor?

I want to create movie files using Motion and Soundtrack Pro that have surround sound. I can make ac3 surround sound files in SOundtrack Pro, I can add them to projects in Final Cut Pro, but I can't see any way to use Compressor to output the movie files with surround sound. The encoding results in plain stereo files. Please help.

HI Tony, you should be able to do this simply within the Compressor.app V4.1.x using the "surround Sound Group" and the shipped setting DOLBY DIGITAL setting. Instead of just adding a file, you need to:
Add a "Surround Sound Group" (control++i or file/add surround sound group or use the "+" plus sign at bottom left corner of Current/BATCH window". You'll get a pane with the channels you need to manipulate.
Click on the tracks Icons L to Rs and select the surround tracks as prompted and navigate through the finder interface. .. simple. WAV, BWF etc
Optionally Add the video object from here too.
Select the BATCH job (top layer with the ORBIT looking icon)) and use the INSPECTOR (right pane) to see what audio objects have been selected and verify location etc.. follow the dialogue (follow your nose)
Then Select the SETTING layer and use the default DOLBY DIGITAL setting and form the "settings/Create Blu Ray/Dolby Digital" and drag it over the batch job setting
Select this and adjust the LOCATION for the target distribution
Select the INSPECTOR AUDIO pane (right pane) and adjust any settings and EFFECTS to your taste.
select the cluster (if one is defined)
+B (submit) the job for the distribution or another master.
This will work fine.. pretty easy.. You'll need to work the audio settings as you like. If you get stuck, use the compressor.app V4.1 help.. its actually good.
Post your results for others to see.

Can anyone recommend a programme to convert a .mov file using windows 7 to iPad 2 please?

I think handbrake is easier for novices.
Mpegstreamclip is good software with a lot of great features but may be more than most people need.

Safari 5.1 won't play .mov files using the embed tag

Since upgrading to Lion (and Safari 5.1), any page that loads a .mov file using the <object><embed> tags gives me a "Plug-in Failure" error. If I take the HTML and load the same file using the <video> tag it works fine.
Did Apple drop support for the embed tag? Is there something going on with my Quicktime plugin?
Here is an example of a page with an embedded .mov:
http://www.mediacollege.com/video/format/mpeg4/streaming/example.html
Does this work for anyone running Safari 5.1 in Lion?

please check to verify if you have the remains of plug-in attched to DivX and make sure you have installed quicktime plug-in by going to Safari -- Help -- Installed Plug-ins. If you ever uninstalled Divx without using Divxuninstaller, you'll meet this problem.
Now download Divxinstaller.dmg and run it. Then you'll see the uninstaller in the corresponding application folder.
Click uninstaller to fully uninstall Divx. Relaunch safari and enjoy!

How to read data from analog input and export it to a file using Components Works

I've made a simple application (Delphi 5 using the activeX) that read data from analog input channel 0. After I read the data, I want to export it to a file using the Components Works on a 6035E NIDAQ. (I'm not using labview and don't want to use it)
How can I do that???
Regards,
Francis

Here's a sample code to do this...
P.S.: If you read only one channel this code won't work.
function MyFunction: Integer;
var
Low, High, i, j, ChannelCount, RowCount: Integer;
Po: P;
begin
//you are reading multiple channel
ChannelCount := VarArrayHighBound(Buffer, 1);
RowCount := VarArrayHighBound(Buffer, 2);
for i := 0 to ChannelCount do begin
for j := 0 to RowCount do begin
WriteToDisk(Buffer[i, j]));
end;
end;
end;

I want to step through a .mov file frame-by-frame looking at geometry of an aircraft in the video to establish the rotational speed of the propeller. This should be fairly straightforwaHow to find the frame exposure time of a variable frame rate mov file

I want to step through a .mov file frame-by-frame looking at geometry of an aircraft in the video to establish the rotational speed of the propeller. This should be fairly straightforward by looking at how much the propeller moves between each frame and using the exposure time of each frame.
However the .mov file is from an iPhone 4S and looking at the details, has a variable frame rate. What I need to know is the duration that each frame is displayed for in order to do my analysis. Does anyone know how to find out this information?

Here's how to make an iDVD with no flicker using Ken Burns Effect

iPhoto renders the Ken Burns effect as smoothy as can be - no flicker
iMovie does a poor job of rendering the Ken Burns Effect - much flicker
so
1. Make a slide show in iPhoto. Single out only those slides that have the Ken Burns Effect. Each of these slides is turned into a Slide Show of just one slide at a time.
2. Each single slide with the Ken Burns effect is adjusted for time, etc. and then exported into a QuickTime Movie - a movie consisting of only one slide.
3. Save all the individual movies into one folder (for convenience).
4. In iMovie (I use 06) , assemble the slide show - but only include all the slides that have no Ken Burns Effect.
5. Drag each of the single-slide movies into the iMovie clip pane, and then place them where you want between the other slides.
6. Play the iMovie and see how smoothly ALL the slides play.
7. Send the entire iMovie over to iDVD and burn it. Make sure the "Interlace" feature (File Menu -Interlace) is NOT checked.
8. All the Ken Burns slides will be rendered with hardly any flicker.

Like most iLife 08 owners I use iMovie 06.
Do you believe that your procedure will work the same way using iMovie 06 with iDVD 08?

How to export a VCD movie file to iPhone ?

I was trying to convert some of my VCD (MPEG-1) movies to be viewable on my iPhone using QuickTime Pro's Export function. The VCD movie is viewable in QuickTime Player with both video and sound. However, after the conversion, I only get video but no audio. Any idea? Thanks for your help in advance.

Use Streamclip to break the larger file into smaller "chunks" prior to export and export to DV Stream.
Use QuickTime Pro to join these .dv files and then export to a 320X240 (or maybe 480X360) at the iPhone .mov settings (not the built in preset values). If needed you can use the built in "Filters" adjustments to adjust HSL or brightness and contrast to improve video quality.

IPhone4 to ATV2 slideshow - How do I stop Ken Burns effect?

How can I turn off the Ken Burns effect during aiplay from an iPhone 4?
Using the iPhone4 (iOS 5) to play a photo slideshow on the AppleTV (just upated) and I don't seem to be able to turn off the "Ken Burns" effect on the iPhone. The pictures are too zoomed and you cannot see the faces. However, when I play the same slideshow on the iPhone4 the effect is not there.
So I am unsure if this an iPhone or AT2 issue, but I hope someone can help.
Thanks

Hi BobbyCo57,
Thanks for helping but that option is not there, just the transition options (Disolve etc).
This is what I can see from Photos, events, photo, play:
Then when I enter "Transitions"
Any other thoughts?
Thanks

Photos on timeline showing black when using ken burns effect

My photos in the project are not visible in the preview window when selecting'show settings' after the ken burns effect has been applied. The arrow moves but the screen is black.
Any ideas ??

Although you've posted in the iMovie 5 forum, that sounds like a well-known iMovie 6 bug. If you are using iMovie 6 you may have encountered the bug:

Importing photo's & using ken burns

I'm importing photo's into i movie OK.
They are fine, and run as a movie in clip viewer until I add a Ken Burns effect. Then they go Black in the clip pane (disappear).
They return to view only if I remove the ken burns affect.
What's up with that?

I found my problem, after numerous hours of frustration.
the movie has to be saved into "movies" icon on main hard drive. Where all the effects, etc. are stored to go with the movie project. I was saving my project to an alternative file on my secondary hard drive.

Export 16:9 .move file with FCP

Hello,
Since May this year I cannot export my FCP 16:9 project to a 16:9 .mov file anymore. The last good one I exported was May 4th, 2009. When I open this QuickTime file with FCP it is widescreen. I exported the same project on May 27th. That .mov file is letterboxed when opening it with FCP.
I never used QuickTime Pro because this program could and can only display my videos letterboxed.
I tried several options to try to export the movie 16:9 (Current Settings, DV PAL 48 kHz Anamorphic).
Someone advised me to use the Cmd-J option in Quicktime, but before May 27th, the export was good and I could use it in iDVD. But since that date it is not possible anymore. When importing the movie directly in iDVD, it is 4:3 format. And after changed it to 1024 with Cmd-J in QuickTime it is halfwidescreen in iDVD (looks like 14:9 i.s.o. 16:9)
How can I get my old good working version of FCP back I had on May, 4th and earlier ?
Or how can I export to QuickTime movie that gives me a 16:9 video again as it was before May 27th ?
Thanks,
Hubert

Hello,
I tried a new 16:9 project. In this new project FCP the video is exported in 16:9 format.
So there must be somewhere a 16:9/4:3 option switch in my old 16:9 project.
Where can this option be set to 16:9 ?
Thanks,
Hubert

How to export as a movie file

Hello- I am a teacher and make a dvd for my kids with all of their pictures and videos on it at the end of the year. As I was taught in the apple store, I made the video in imovie and then added the music in garageband. Today I started this project, and garageband no longer has "export movie" as a choice, only music choices. Is there any way to still export this as a movie file? I believe it was a quicktime .mov file. Any help would be appreciated.

Today I started this project, and garageband no longer has "export movie" as a choice,
Are you now using GarageBand 10.0?
Then import the movie,
Track menu > Show Movie Track
File menu > Movie > Open Movie
Mix the sound track song
Then use the "File" menu > Movie > Export Audio to Movie.
This will write the audio aa an audio track into the imported movie.
