FCPX: Inserted Images become Fuzzy when Played

Sometimes I have this problem (like now) and I don't know what causes.
I am creating a very short video with 14 images (faces). I just inserted an additional image between two existing images. It looks fine but when I play the video the inserted image turns fuzzy/blurred.
What causes this and how can I fix it?

Does it need rendering?
Ensure Background rendering is turned on in the preferences and wait a few seconds for rendering to start.
Only play it when the render reaches 100%.

Still image becomes blurry when played in iMovie 10.0.7

I am attempting to use still images in an iMovie 10.0.7 presentation. I have defeated the Ken Burns effect. The clear image drops out of focus when I press play and pops back into focus when the clip ends. Is there a fix for this?
Thanks.

That's a feature, lowering qualiyt while editing; on final export you'll notice a much better quality ....

Images become blurred when placed in a PSD document

I have a QCODE (barcode) which is a 2-bit pure black and white images.
However, when I place it in another open document, the image becomes blurred when it is placed and the definition of the QCODE is compromised.
How can I stop PS from blurring the image.
I'm guessing it is trying to smooth out the placed image, but i don't want this.
Many thanks.

but i don't want this.
Place it pixel exact! Resampling means the image is placed at sub-pixel values. Aside from that you would also get softness if the image is not properly converted to the target color space and automatic conversion creates mix colors whose individual components blend differently with neighboring pixels, which in part is simply an artifact of on-screen simulation. In any case, you will only be able to get a proper barcode in CMYK/ Duotone/ Multichannel modes, where you can make sure it appears on the spot black ink separation so it does not get halftoned and loses its sharpness again. ideally it would even be native vector data...

My daughter's older Ipod Touch is having a problem with images becoming pixilated when taken from an e-mail and placed into her camera roll. ( She wants to put on Instagram ) Any help?

My daughter's older Ipod Touch is having a problem with images becoming pixilated when taken from an e-mail and placed into her camera roll. ( She wants to put on Instagram ) Any help?

I think that may be a consequence of the email provider she is using. Some services (AOL is one example) inspect and modify email attachments, particularly photos, resulting in reduced resolution compared to the email that was sent.
The iPod does not do this. The resolution of the picture in the email she receives will be identical to what is imported.

How do I fix my video that becomes choppy when played in Flash?

I have a video that I'm integrating into a SWF. Only problem is, it becomes choppy when I play in within the SWF.
It's a video that I created, and plays perfect in other players, just not when part of a SWF..

As far as it goes, you are doing everything correctly. If the original video file was compressed, the problem may be in the transcoding from the original compression to Flash's .flv file. If you have the original video and can output from a video editor to the .flv format, then you may get better playback.
You may also want to look at reducing the image size and/or the frame rate to try and improve the playback.

Blurry/Fuzzy when played back on computer

Hi
Can anyone explain why the DVDs I burn or disc images I create look fab on a TV but fuzzy/blurry/grey on my laptop screen? Why don't they look like when I play a commercial DVD movie on my laptop? So far I have just been making movies in iMovie from DV tape footage and then transferring to iDVD 5. On a TV they look as good as the raw DV footage (to my untrained eye).
Thanks.

(PAL would be less than 768x576 pixels)
BUT...why do commercial DVDs (i.e. the ones I rent from Blockbuster) look ok on my laptop? Do they use better compression or something?
A little "better compression" and a lot of "something".
Yes, commercial DVDs are produced by better compressors, but the primary reason for better quality is better original content. Commercial DVDs aren't shot with consumer DV camcorders, while they are shot using a tripod and carefully lit.
MPG-2 works by looking at image frame to image frame variations - things like camera shake and noise due to poor lighting can cause major frame to frame differences in the video stream causing MPG-2 artifacts.
In addition, the commercial content is just a lot sharper to start with - better lenses, 3 chip cameras with more pixels than DV camcorders, as well as no compression of the shot footage (DV stream content is compressed about 4:1).
It the old computer saying: GIGO
Garbage In - Garbage Out
Now I'm confused! If a monitor has more pixels shouldn't it give a better picture?
Only if your source image has the same number of pixels. Your DVD only has (PAL) 768x576 pixels and if you 'blow them up' to something like 1280x1024 (or larger) on your computer monitor the image with 768x576 pixels will look very soft.

Pictures look fuzzy when playing in timeline and even after export.

This is a major headache for me.
I have brought high resolution photos into FCP 7 and they look great when scaled down when I pause or scrub the video in my timeline. When I play my video in the timeline or after an export, it looks fuzzy or pixelated.
I was given the suggestion to mess with interlacing, change the photos to 72dpi before importing to FCP, and other suggestions. Changing the dpi didn't seem to make any difference. Is this a render issue? I've been checking the render setting but haven't had any luck.
Any suggestions?
I'm not great at determining what my settings should be at for FCP on my MacBook Pro. I have been messing with the settings so much in the past few days trying to fix my fuzzy/pixelated photos problem, and I now am having a difficult time trying to remember what everything was originally set at.
Help!

I am using QT 7.6.4 as I'm still hanging back on Leopard - not Snow Leopard.
If you look in your "Utilities" folder you might a copy of QT (non-X) in that folder. If not there already, it's an "additional install" on the OS DVD I think.
from here: (Oddly, the corresponding Apple Support page was down. This is Apple's info really...somone else has copied/pasted)
1. Insert your Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Install DVD.
2. Open the "Optional Installs folder" and double-click "Optional Installs.mpkg".
3. Select the QuickTime 7 option and click Continue.
4. QuickTime Player 7 will be installed in your Utilities folder.
If you have QuickTime 7 installed, Snow Leopard handles the division of labor for you, using QuickTime X when it can and QuickTime 7 when it needs to.
If you don't already have QuickTime 7 installed, then the first time you try to do something that requires it -- such as play a video that needs a non-standard codec, for example -- Snow Leopard will ask if you want to install it.

Rotated Text/Images look fuzzy when Published

I've a menu on my site which uses angled text. As soon as I publish this however, the text gets fuzzy edges. I thought I could get over this issue by creating the links in my meny as graphics in PS and importing them as buttons but as soon as I roate them in Muse they get fuzzy edges again.
I havn't made the site live yet as it's in very early design stages.
Does anyone have an answer to fix this issue? Thanks

Thanks for coming back to me! I tried that actually as well. I rotated the images which are the links in PS and then imported them and it works fine from a quality point of view but it introduced another issue. My menu is basically composed of links at an angle as I was saying but I save this as a rectangle from PS and import. Only the centre part of this rectangle has text, the rest is transparent. When I align them all up in Muse, some of the links overlap which causes issues with my buttons. If I roll over one, it activates the one beside it. I couldn't see any other way around this other than to create them flat and then rotate them in muse. Do you see how I can fix this?

Images become choppy when I resize to a smaller size

Using Fireworks CC, when I resize images to make them smaller, the image is pixellated and choppy. Any solution for this?

Herbert2001, thank you for your reply. I didn't realize Adobe stopped supporting Fireworks. It's really weird, I've been down-scaling .jpg and .png images for years w/o problem - large images 2000 pixels down to 300 pixels and smaller and it worked beautifully. Here is what I am getting now:
The lines become choppy. If it's a more complicated image, such as a house with siding, the lines become even choppier.
Any ideas?

Songs show as okay but become corrupted when played on iTunes?

I'm working with my 64gb iPod Touch 5th Generation.
My family has been known to have problems with computers and therefore iTunes so we decided to take action about a year ago. When we would decide to upload a CD to iTunes, we would download it on the hard drive of our computer then drag it on to a flash drive then if we had to transfer our iTunes to another computer we wouldn't have to download that CD again; we could just put in the flash drive and just 'Add File to Library'. Yesterday, I put some more CDs on the flash drives and today I sat down at 11:00 expecting to be done adding them to the library by one including a lunch break. I was there until four.
I had to wait for almost all of the music files to convert to the correct file format so that took a lot of time. My original plan was to add every song on the flash drives then go back through each artist and delete the corrupted songs (the ones with the exclamation mark [!]) and the duplicates. As I went through after I finished adding them all, I realized that songs that were problem-free last time were now corrupted. Another thing that I noticed which stressed me out the most was the fact that even when a song did not have an exclamation mark, it could still be corrupted. I found that out when trying to play a song and it (the exclamation mark) just popped up next to it with the usual 'Find the location of the track' message. I then realized that I would have to 'play' (double-click) EVERY. SINGLE. SONG. If I wanted to get rid of every unneccessary song. I had 2300 songs and the length of that project just drew the line for me. I figured I would come one here and try to find a solution but I couldn't find a discussion with the same problem.
So here is my official question: How do I prevent the not-corrupted songs from getting corrupted?
Please note that the songs that actually transferred when I sync'd it were a mix of every song I had purchased, some songs that had survived from the last sync, and some new songs from the flash drives.
I am working with Windows XP.
Thank you in advance for the ideas and if at all possible, I would love to avoid having to restart my iPod. My iTunes is 11.0.1.12.

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

recently i got cs4 and started using bridge. now after i edit my photo in lightroom and export,the view of the jpeg file appears overexpose(exposure was increase) and when view on adobe bridge same problem. but if i open photoshop and use my workspace colour setting everything is ok. when i see my picture on iphoto it is normal as per i have edited. i just don't know what setting i have touch that cause my viewing of edited photo on lightroom and bridge goes overexpose. on bridge,thumbnail ok but preview bad...
for the record: i just install CS4 and snow leopard recently. before this i have no problems with LR. I'm also not sure if i have accidentally change any settings.
i shoot with a 5D mark 2 and use the raw file for edit.
will appreciate any advise. Thanks

Is it possibe to return to a RAW image and edit it once I've exported it to another location as jpeg?
Yes
I've edited and exported an image to a different folder on my desktop. I've realised I still need to do some work on it
but when I try and open it again in Lightroom ( I see it in Library) I get a mesaage saying file not found...Please help
We're going to need a lot more details aobut exactly (EXACTLY) the steps you follow after you do the export, because normally I would say this is one of the easiest things possible in Lightroom. Are any files moved or renamed or disks unplugged in between the time of export and the time when you try to edit again?

Image becoming distorted when printing - smartform in CRM system

We are using CRM 5.0 and have to create a smartform for the acknowledgement of the order. The output is triggered correctly but marketing want me to include an image at the top of the page. I understand that you are only able to load tif or bmp into smart forms and indeed they are printed, however when printed the image is not very clear - looks like it is resizing.
I have tried changing the image in many different ways - and using paint shop pro for uploading the image. I have found that if using TIF the only compression option that uploads is packbits. I have saved the image with as many colours as possible and then reduced it - each time the image looks rubbish! However when I view the file (from my computer) in PSP it looks ok.
I have searched the forums for help but not really found anything that useful. Does anyone have any suggestions how to get the image to come out as expected?
The image stretches across the whole width of the page and just over 3cm deep. There are quite a few colours in the image and it is fairly busy.
Driving me mad here! anyone got any ideas? Maybe I need to install additional filters or something???

managed to get this corrected using faststone image viewer and converting images to 300 DPI.

300 dpi images turn fuzzy when export as interactive or screen res pdf

Hi, my print brochure is fine, sharp, linked etc. But when I try to export as interactive pdf or screen res pdf, for online purposes, my clean logos and pix turn nasty. Do I need to change them individually to 72dpi and change them to rgb (i thought the export process did this automatically)? Thanks in advance to any answers.

If you choose File > Export > Adobe PDF (Interactive), the default is 72 ppi, but you can set it to a higher value. All images will automatically be convert to RGB, with, I believe, an sRGB profile, according to Dov.

Images become unproportional when publishing

Please see below. This image was much wider in muse and when published in became unproportional.
And this is a button, on some pages it displays well and on others it loses its styling.

but i don't want this.

Is anyone else having problems with large files, such as installation images, becoming corrupted when downloaded in Mavericks using Safari?

I am finding that when I try to download a disk image file, such as Office 2011, it reads invalid checksum, is corrputed and will not install. I tried to download it several times and even unchecked in the Disk Utility Preference Pane to verify checksums. The way I solved the problem, was to go to my Windows Machine and download the image, put it on a USB flash drive and install it on my Mac from the stick. Not a proper solution, but it did work. Has anyone out there had this problem? This is applying to any large .dmg files not just Office 2011.

I'm having exactly the same problem with the dmg file for Office 2011, tried downloading from my windows machine with no luck, still having the invalid checksum message.
