Exporting To GarageBand and Final Video Quality

I need to export a Keynote slideshow to Garageband to add a soundtrack and I need to have the best quality video possible. Does it matter what size slide I start with when creating the presentation?
I would create the slideshow in iPhoto or iDVD for better video quality, but I need to add titles, graphics, etc to some of the slides.

because it is rendered, i have clicked on "sequence -> render audio" and nothign happens, it just plays through like it would once it has finished rendring.
like i said, it plays fine in playback, most of the time, just not after it has been exported

HELP!! i cant export my movie and keep good quality when I put it on youtub

On my final cut express, the movie looks great, Great quality and great sound. But when I export it, it loses so much quality, and looks terrible online. I know you should lose some quilty, but this is more then some, it looks bad.
Ive tried so many different ways to export it. Its only a 4 min music video, and youtube and myspace allow up to a gig. I don’t under stand it help!!
If u want to see what im talking about go to www.wearetheweekend.com

File>Export>Using QuickTime Conversion.
Change the "Default Settings" to "Broadband High" from the dropdown menu and click Save.
PS. The link you gave seemed reasonably OK for an internet video.

Horrible final video quality in After Effects CS6 when rendering a 1920x1080 video with H.264 format

I've been using After Effects CS6 on my Macbook Pro for over a year now with no issues. However, today when I exported a video to be rendered in 1920x1080p with H.264 format, I got the worst quality final video I've ever seen. I filmed my video files in 1920x1080p (like usual), and I clicked all the same buttons I normally do to export a video, but every HQ video I try to export looks horrible. I haven't clicked any crazy buttons or anything out of the ordinary.
I always export a video following this sequence:
File > Export > Add to Render Queue > Lossless > H.264 (quality format) > video output (make sure it's checked) > audio output (make sure it's checked) > OK > Output to Desktop
My render settings are always set as "best settings" including "full" resolution and "best" quality.
Now, when I click H.264, a "settings mismatch" pops up and says:
"Warning: Output file will be resized from 1920x1080 (1.00 PAR) to 320x1080 (6.00 PAR) to meet format constraints"
The rendering quality and playback quality within After Effects is great, but once the video is exported, it is horrible.
PLEASE HELP?! I have deadlines I need to meet!

Use the H.264 encoding presets in Adobe Media Encoder.
The H.264 export features in After Effects have been removed in later versions because of numerous problems.

IMovie 10 and DV Video Quality

Does anyone know how iMovie handles DV? Previous versions used Single Field Processing, which threw away every other line of the video. This resulted in very degraded video quality upon export, especially if exporting to a DVD.
I doubt very seriously that this was fixed in the new iMovie, but it’s worth asking.

Some additional info.
A 1920x1080 black and white test image was created. The image consists of 120x120 pixel squares. The first two squares in each direction contain 60 black and 60 white lines, i.e. lines with a width of one pixel. The next two squares contain 30 black and 30 white lines, i.e. lines with a width of two pixels. The source image is located here: http://i.imgur.com/AFkrw6L.png
This image was copied 200 times into a numbered sequence. The image sequence was made into a short movie using QuickTime Pro 7. Two versions of that movie were exported: a 25p and a 50i (interlaced) version. Both short movies were imported in iMovie 9.0.9 and iMovie 10.0.1. A text effect was added to add some movement to the movies. The movies were exported to 1080p format via the Share option in iMovie. iMovie 9 exports to .mov files, iMovie 10 exports to .mp4 files.
What can be seen from these 4 exported movies? Both iMovie 9 and iMovie 10 handle progressive video without dropping lines. The full resolution is preserved. iMovie 10 also handles interlaced video without dropping lines. But iMovie 9 (=iMovie '11) and older (since iMovie '8) do not handle interlaced video correctly. Half of the horizontal lines are discarded ("single-field processing"). Also in the horizontal direction resolution is lost; each pair of two horizontal pixels is averaged. Thus a scaled down resolution of 960x540 pixels is used for processing interlaced video in iMovie 9 (and older). This can be seen in the iMovie 9.0.9 50i Test movie. The upper left square is white; the black lines are discarded! The second square is gray; horizontally each pair of two pixels is averaged.

Export settings for best possible video quality

I am using FCE and am putting together a DVD from a Canon HV20. I shot the tapes using the HDV option in the camera setup (1080i)
What do you recommend as the best method for exporting from FCE in order for me to see the highest quality picture? I tried using Export as Quicktime, and it looks "ok", but it's not the image quality I'd expect from HD, nor is it as good as viewing direct from the camera to my projector.
I don't mind waiting hours for rendering, so don't let that hamper your recommendations.
Thanks in advance.

Export to QuickTime Movie. Play this back on your TV. It should look comparable to your camera output. As far as DVD creation goes I'd suggest doing a forum search. You are compression the material heavily yo get it from HD to SD.

Freezing at Sign On and Diminished Video Quality

I'm having trouble with iChat. First, I seem to be getting a lot of freezing at sign-on. I can occasionally see the face of the person I'm connecting with - but then I get an error drop down window from Apple asking if I want to send a report. When I am able to connect, the video quality is terribly distorted.
I have iChat version 5.0. I have set my bandwidth at 200 kbps. I'm running Snow Leopard and use AirPort.
I seemed to have had a decent connect last week, but it has gotten steadily worse in the past few days. Does anyone have any fixes they can recommend? Thanks!

Hi,
Manually go to your Home Folder/Library/Preferences as Spotlight does not report on this folder.
Also delete com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist if it is an AIM/Apple Login
Or the one with Jabber in it if a Jabber Buddy list is the problem.
Do not delete this with the one mention by Carolyn as that will cause the Start Up Screens to Appear again.

EX60 and Voice/Video quality measurements

Does the EX60 provide any means of generating a real time MOS and/or R-Factor and/or PESQ or any other objective measurement of voice and video quality. I am willing to turn extra debugs on, parse and mine logs and even setup two VC points to perform a dedicated test call.

Ji Jan Pieter, thanks for the response,
You can bypass the router and connect your Ethernet cable to your modem.
No, I can't, since my router is a TrendNet TWE-435BRM, as mentioned in my first post, which is also the modem.
The Ethernet cable that connects the Mac to the router needs to send/recieve data full-duplex, like the ISDN line that connects to the modem. The modem will translate the ISDN signal to ADSL and pass it through to the Ethernet full-duplex. When there is any device on the network that has been manually set, it will convert to half-duplex and data traffic will not travel the speed it could when all devices had been left to auto-sense the connection, the default setting. This is called a Duplex mismatch and might cause these problems, it is however a common problem.
I checked the connection between my iMac and the router and it doesn't seem to be the problem. I get Internet full speed (+/- 5M download, +/- .4M upload).
Maybe it's a problem with my ISP, maybe it's a problem with iChat. Hence my question about how I can test the router. In fact, I've tried setting my iMac as a DMZ PC on the network but it didn't make any difference. I still get my parents video scrambled and bad audio (after restarting both the router and the Macs on both ends). That pretty much eliminates the router. I think iChat probably works... No error messages, no firewall warnings. It lives me with my ISP. I don't have much control over that.

Encore exports to 720x480, and my video 1920x1080 turns bad quality

Hello. I have a video of 1920x1080 and also my menus and everything in encore is 1920x1080. I know Encore exports it to 720x480, but why is the quality so bad when exported? The words are pixelated too. Hope someone can help me out!
Thanks in advance!

I just exported to mpeg-2 dvd and the audio exported separately and there are black bars on both sides which I will attach a pic of.
My menu is a still and what do you mean by an upscaling tv?
Thanks for your time

Exporting in H.264, 29.97, 1080p - and final video keeps stuttering?

I am starting with a very smooth, very clear 1080p video clip (mp4) and I add a background song to the clip - thats it, and each time I go to render the video, I always get a choppy video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQeO7gClU8c
And here is what the clip looked like before:
(https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/asset.html/content/dam/fordmedia/North% 20America/US/2015/01/12/Shelby-GT350R-Mustang.mp4.html
Notice how crisp, clear and smooth the original is compared to my export? Not quite sure what is going on, please help.
BTW - it has nothing to do with YouTube. The exported video looks like crap even before I upload it.

THis apears tro be your source footage
cq5dam.video.firefoxhq.ogg
Your source footage appears to be 480 x 320 (not 1080p) Hard to tell what frame rate it is!

I exported a project to QuickTime and the video quality is a bit shimmery, and grainy.

Did I do too much color correcting (too much saturation)? Or might it have something to do with the Broadcast filter? Or might it have something to do with what CODEC I used? I'm stumped.

What is the format/codec of the clips you are using? That would help us figure out what easy setup would best match.
Also, don't copy/paste the old sequence into the new sequence. Select all the clips in the old sequence and copy/paste them into the new sequence. (There is a difference.)
If you have 1280x720 clips, then it would appear you shot 720p video. The corresponding easy setup would be HDV Apple Intermediate Codec 720p30 (North America) or 720p25 (Europe).

Bright Green & Purple Flashes in Timeline and Final Video

I'm getting a lot of random bright green or purple flashes. In the flash the frame is be flipped upside down. It's happening in a lot of sequences. It even shows up after I export. I don't export until it completly finishes rendering.
I use Final Cut Pro X with a Intel Core i7 iMac.
I shot the video with a Canon 5D Mark III.

I presume you are using one or more plugin effects in your sequences. If so, unfortunately this is a bug. The simplest way around it would be to render directly to Compressor for any sequence that is showing glitches.

Audio filter problems when exporting to miniDV and as video file

I have used the DeNoiser filter on most of the audio in a 10 minute film i have made using CS4, however, when i ty and export it, either as an AVI, (or simular) or to tape, the filters arent working properly.
this happens sometimes in playback, i have to listen to the audio first before the filter works properly. if i dont it just makes the audio inaudiable the first time round.
it seems like it needs rendering, which isnt the case, and i have NO idea why it is doing this.

because it is rendered, i have clicked on "sequence -> render audio" and nothign happens, it just plays through like it would once it has finished rendring.
like i said, it plays fine in playback, most of the time, just not after it has been exported

Comparing video quality of AVCHD BluRay discs using Final Cut Pro Share vs Compressor

Up front, I will admit to being a newbie when it comes to using Final Cut Studio 3 and would appreciate some feedback from the Apple forum experts.
I have spent a lot of time trying to determine how to achieve an optimum group of Compressor 3.5.2 settings so that the playback video quality of an AVCHD BluRay disc is equal to or better than one created by using the simpler auto settings of FCPro Share, version 7.0.2.
When using Compressor’s auto/default maximum settings, I experienced the same error message reported in:
Error MessageDuring Creation of Blu-ray Disc in FCP and Compressor 3.5
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12073794#12073794
I have since made some Compressor AVCHD Discs with smaller bit rate settings and compared video quality with a single FCP Share AVCHD disc. Both seem to be equal in providing a very good video when viewed on my new Panasonic DMP BDT 310 BluRay player. However, the Compressor AVCHD discs show some motion artifacts not present with the FCPro Share version, especially when scrolling text or when objects are moving through the field of view, and visible artifacts are seen from a stationary chain link fence and other lattice work in the background of the video sample.
My sample video used for the comparisons between Compressor and FCP Share discs is a 21 minute duration home movie, originally captured from a mini DV, Canon HV30 1080i camcorder using ProRes HQ encoding(1440x1080), and dragged into FC Pro 7.0.2 timeline where 10 chapter markers have been inserted.
To create an AVCHD disc using FCPro Share, Markers are used to set the IN and OUT points, Select IN to OUT from the timeline, pull down File Menu Share, Select Create BluRay from options in pop out Share pane, and designate output device along with picture files for Background, Logo, and Title options. When these are completed, click on Export. My 21-minute video required almost two hours for encoding including about 10 minutes for burning. This accomplished on an iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
To prepare this same 21-minute video for use with Compressor, I again Select IN to Out from the FCPro timeline, but this time use File Export as a QuickTime Self Contained movie including Chapter markers. Then Open Compressor, choose Create BluRay from Template pane, right click on the down arrow in the Batch window and load the QT self contained movie file. From there I went to the Inspector window and tried various combinations of bit rate settings along with Frame Encoder options such as Better or Best motion parameter controls.
I have tried the following combinations of Bit rate settings along with varying Frame Encoder controls and burned an AVCHD disc for each example:
Example A
Compressor set to 6 Mbps Average and 8Mbps Maximum, Frame Encoder settings OFF. Approximately 4 hours to encode although the time remaining estimator indicated a larger value of ~7 hours; not an accurate estimator at all.
Example B
Compressor set to 6 Mbps Average and 8Mbps Maximum, Frame Encoder settings ON, using “Better (Linear Filter) and Better (Motionadaptive)” settings. Approximately 4 hours to encode, not the 13 hours that were estimated.
Conclusion: Comparing A & B Compressor versions, Disc B showed some improvements in reducing motion artifacts over Disc A.
Example C
Compressor set to 13 Mbps Average and 15 Mbps Maximum, Frame Encoder settings ON, using “Better (Linear Filter) and Better (Motion adaptive)” settings. Multipass checked. DeInterlace was checked. Unknown hours to encode; about 8 hours done overnight..
Conclusion: Disc C showed some minor improvements reducing motion artifacts over Disc B
Example D
Compressor Auto settings,i.e., 15 Mbps Average and 17 Mbps Maximum, Frame Encoder settings ON, using “Better (Linear Filter) and Better (Motion adaptive)” settings. Multipass checked. Approximately 12 hours to encode, done overnight. Inserted disc next morning after the overnight encoding was completed, and a few minutes later an error message pane appeared that the maximum bit rate had been exceeded. This message was consistent with the Apple posted thread referenced above. Unfortunately the long overnight encoding was wasted.
It seemed to me that the best Compressor settings for suppressing the motion artifacts were displayed by the disc burned in Example C, i.e., 13/15 Ave/Max Mbps with“Better” Motion settings in the Frame Encoder.
However, when this disc was compared to the AVCHD Disc burned using the FCPro Share, the latter still seemed much better. I do not know what the auto bit rate values are as set in FC Pro, but for me, the quality is quite good AND the motion artifacts are significantly reduced, especially evident with the scrolling text.
Sorry about this long post, but I thought the detail would be necessary for the experts, and maybe helpful to others trying to get started in this BluRay arena. Did I misuse Compressor? I think the sample video exported as a self contained QT movie was the right thing to do? Not sure where I went wrong.
Thanks in advance for Feedback and Recommendations. For now, I’m going to stay with the simpler process using Final Cut Pro Share function.
BoBo

Thank You, Brad, for responding; glad to hear I'm not the only one having similar Compressor issues.
You may have hit on something. Perhaps Compressor's use of H.264 encoding was the reason for my motion artifacts? And perhaps Final Cut Pro Share retains the 1440x1080 quality as it burns the AVCHD BluRay disc?
I had Toast 10 for less than 30 days a couple of years ago, and was lucky to get a refund.
What version of Toast do you have? Wondering if new Toast 11 has improved previous bugs, especially upgrading its Chapter text, pictures, music. I would go back to Toast if it came close to mirroring DVD Studio Pro, or even iDVD capabilities.
Thanks,
BoBo

Poor Audio and Video Quality

Using IDVD to burn iMovie containing pictures and music and am getting very poor quality audio and video. The video is very low resolution, lacking clarity and definition, and the audio comes out really flat with over-saturated vocals that is unpleasant to listen to.
The content was made from iMovie 11, importing photos from iPhoto and iTunes music.
I exported the movie via Share->Export Movie-> HD 1080P
In iDVD 7.1.2 I imported the movie (actually several) into a slideshow menu item.
I used the iDVD encoding preferences set at 'Best Performance' and 'Professional Quality' with no difference between the two
Then to ensure it wasn't the DVD disk causing the problem, I used the 'Save as Disc Image', and validated the file image saved to disk had the same quality issues as the burned DVD.
Then to eliminate the iMovie as the problem, ran a test and used an iPhoto slideshow in place of the iMovie, and it also has the same low quality issues.
I have observed that using the iDVD viewing capabilities, the A/V quality is fine. Its after the burn to disk the problem occurs.
At this point I'm not sure what to try. I'm viewing the DVD on my 50" widescreen TV using Sony DVD player.
A year or so back I did similar steps and the DVD came out fine... the sound quality was excellent and the video quality while not outstanding, was reasonable.
Any ideas -- I'm really stumped.

Hi
In iMovie'11 - I do (not use Share to iDVD)
• Share to Media Browser - AND AS Large - NOT HD ! (result will not be better but rather WORSE)
• In iDVD I import from Media button and Movie tab.
Yours Bengt W

Very Poor Video Quality

I was trying to iChat with my daughter this afternoon and the video quality was horrible. She was pixelating large and small, trailing, etc. I think it may have something to do with the refresh rate. She has a new MacBook, which I assume is running 10.5.6. Any ideas?

Hi Defcom,
thanks to you man, finally my iChat Video is working. After fiddling around for several weeks and not finding the answer, I saw your recommendations for the Quicktime-streaming and the bandwide maximum, put it to work and now iChat is working.
Thanks to you man.
This leeves the question why such important information is nowhere to be found in the documentation of iChat. This is a serious omission in my opinion. Look at how many people have problems with iChat Video! And then such a simple solution, just somebody has to tell you.
Thanks alot again defcom.
Regards BA
