Check the drop down window at top right end of viewer and make sure optimized/original is checked. Seems like you may be exporting proxie.

Rotated pictures come out blank after they have been exported.

Pictures scanned from Epson 700 photoscanner to i Photo looks fine in iPhoto. No problem editing in IPhoto, but the rotated pictures came out blank after they have been exported. The original picture is exported okay. I have tried all the repair options in iPhoto to no success.
Any suggestion how to fix the blank pictures or do I have to scann them all again?

Still I have to scan every picture again
No you don't. You can change the colour profile to sRGB with a script. Search this forum. Old Toad has one that he created and you can download it.

Scanned images come out pixelated when printed

When I scan images with my Brother MFC-9120CN, they display in great quality when viewed with Photoshop Elements and other software. However when I print these images that look smooth and sharp on the the screen they come out heavily pixelated. Now these are 1200 dpi scans. The weird thing is that downloaded images, which were scanned at 72 dpi by other people, print without pixelation. I'm at a loss to explain this. Is there anyone out there who's had the same problem? And more importantly, is there a solution? Could it be bug with Snow Leopards core graphics? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dpi means nothing unless you can also tell us the dimensions you are printing at. You have a fixed number of pixels in an image and their density is dependent on the dimensions you are printing at.
After all it means dots per inch. So, for instance, you cannot print a 3 inch x 2 inch that has density of 72 dpi image at 10 x 8. Why? At 10 x 8 it will no longer be 72 dpi because the same number of pixels is spread over a larger area.
As a rule of thumb - and heavily dependent on the quality of the actual pics - you might get acceptable prints at 200 dpi. But most folks recommend 300.

Importing Video with audio- Converting MPEG comes out pixelated

I've got two problems.
I know I need to convert my MPEG movie to another format, and I cannot remember which, in order for FCE to capture the audio that comes with it. Right?
Do you know which format and specifications I need?
Also-
I've been using an MPEG Streamclip program to convert, but whatever I try (I havent gotten to importing it to FCE, so I dont even know if the audio will come in there or not) the video comes out extremely pixelated. I know it can be remedied, because the original is in much better quality. Ive tried MPG4 an Quicktime movies, but nothing is working. Is it the frame rate? Anything else? I am drawing a blank.
ANY help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks!

From Streamclip export to QuickTime. Set the codec to DV NTSC and the frame rate to 29.97.

Images on Firefox come out pixelated

Hi,
For some reason, Firefox on my MacBook Air displays pixelated images. When I access the same site on Google Chrome, the images come out with good resolution. I tried looking for the settings to correct this but cannot seem to find it. I do enjoy surfing using Firefox and do not want to switch browsers, but the experience isn't good for me right now. Hope you can help. Thanks!

Hi gabgonz, '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
thank you

File size changing when pass through after effects (180Mb file goes in and comes out 33GB on export)

im processing a video recorded of an interview where the lighting was not very good on the interviewee
im brightening up the light on the interviewees face
the file was a 180Mb H.264 file on import
when i export the file its coming out at 33GB in size.... im not sure why this is
i have chosen the default setting "lossless" as the format for export
i just want the file to export the same size and quality as it was when i imported it
what options should i choose for this? AE does not seem to tell me how big the end file will be and it takes 1 hour and half to process this 2 minute interview so it will take me an awfull long time to get to the bottom of this if i try by myself
thanks

It doesn't "increase" the file size. You're making a brand new file.
What you put into After Effects has nothing to do with the resulting file. You can have an AE composition with no footage whatsoever and the resulting file will be much larger than 0!
After Effects works internally with completely uncompressed pixel data, so no matter what you toss into it, it produces whatever you tell it to produce. As Mylenium points out, you made an uncompressed final file.
Your original video file is VERY compressed. So, of COURSE uncompressed video is going to look massive by comparison.
Read Mylenium's link to understand a bit more and go here to learn AE: Getting started with After Effects There are lots of "gotchas" like this that'll bit your butt if you skip this basic training stuff.

Wide Screen Footage becomes 4:3 after Export

Hallo
I videotaped footage in the Widescreen Format (16:9) and also set the settings of the project in Premiere that way. The project also displays the footage in widescreen.
But as soon as I export it, it will become 3:4 Format.
What am I doing wrong? I think Windows Media Player and VLC Player should be alright with the widescreen format or is it the exportsettings in Premiere?
Thanks alot for helping

Whoa, whoa whoa. Time out. Stop the bus. There's a LOT of misinformation going on here. First off...
Jim wrote:
>The original footage has 1.2 pixels. Coming from the "conversion will always introduce some measure of degradation" camp, they should be left without conversion if at all possible
Keep in mind, Jim, the original poster wrote, "media players such as Quicktime, Real Player, Windows Media Player, VLC Player and Youtube." So we're talking about Adobe Media Encoder. So conversion/rendering is taking place regardless of what pixel aspect he/she chooses.
Secondly, Brian wrote:
> Windows Media Player has always recognized the videos I export out at 1.2 aspect ratio as 16x9 format and play then fine.
Brian, this is typically not true for clips exported from Windows Media. (Perhaps you have tweaked some preferences to your Player, or perhaps your video drivers do something to correct this?) Even so, that's a rare instance only to your computer, and is not the proper advice to give.
Try this: export a 16x9 clip or 16x9 timeline via Adobe Media Encoder to a "for download" or streaming Windows Media format. You'll notice the available presets specify all of these types of formats at 1.0 PAR. Try it for any QT or Real Media or H.264 "Youtube" format-- it's all 1.0 PAR.
In addition, to test your theory: I forced the PAR to 1.2 and 1.333 for a few different clips I had. My Windows Media player (version 11) played them all incorrectly. As did Quicktime. Now, I agree that if you had an attached video monitor, it may look okay there. But not when viewing on a computer monitor.
Finally, keep in mind, you're creating a clip for someone else to download. Even if your own computer looks okay with Windows Media, the only way to *guarantee* it will display properly on everyone else's across the globe is to use square 1.0 pixels.

Colors in an image comes out different after rendering comp

Hey guys, having an annoying problem.
For a project, I've imported a jpeg file that I made on Photoshop. The colors look perfectly fine on the RAM previews and stuff but after I render it, just that specific jpg image comes washed out. It should be dark grey / almost black but after rendering into .mov that image becomes medium grey. It's noticeably more washed out and lighter. All the other colors in that image are also noticeably lighter as well.
Any ideas whats going on? I have set my working space to my monitors color profile and I have proofed the colors after saving on Photoshop.
Thanks! This is driving me nuts!

I send the composition to the Render Queue and do it from there. I have my render settings to "Best", and output module to "Lossless".
Regarding the codec, I'm not sure about that. How can I find out? Sorry this is my first time really with AE.
EDIT: FIXED!
On the output module, I had it set to Quicktime before. I changed that to H.264 and the colors were fine after that. Whew!
Thanks for all your help Rick!

Blocks of square pixels after export

I keep getting pixelated multi-colored squares that last about 5 seconds
all throughout my timeline when i play my timeline.
my goal is to make a DVD of this movie on iDVD,
but I also get the squares after encoding and export.
I've tried many different settings and still no improvement.
But this problem is on the timeline, before encoding and export, and I'm not sure why.
Incidentally, this project was originally edited on an Avid Xpress DV.
I transfered the project to an Avid Media Composer, and maybe that's
the problem???
can someone help me get rid of these square pixels so I can
burn it on iDVD, or even DVD Studio Pro?
thanks in advance.

Computers use square pixels, TVs use rectangular pixels. Thus, a 720x540 square pixel document viewed in, say, Photoshop should be made 720x486 with a D1 pixel aspect if you want it for television. You would need to make sure your document is the correct way if you were putting it in an FCP timeline or something, otherwise it would look squished/stretched depending on waht you did. But for DVDSP, you should create elements in a 720X540 square pixel document. This is also recommended in the manual in the section that pertains to your question. DVDSP will make the necessary corrections for a DVD burned for TV. Since most DVDs are made to go on TV, viewing in 720x486 (rect) would be the most accurate way to view, which is probably why simulator does that so you can see what it will look like on a TV monitor.
I recommend working in the correct size and pixel aspect ratio anyway just to avoid problems down the line. For example, in After Effects you would work with 720x486 video in one precomp and all your generated text and graphics should be in a 720x540 precomp. Then bring the sq pix comp to the rect one (if planning to use for TV) and fit to comp.

Bleed settings come out wrong when export to PDF

I'm working on a 5x13 door hanger in InDesign with a .125" bleed on all sides. I did the front in Illustrator and brought it into ID and I did the back entirely in ID since it's text heavy.
When I export it to PDF with bleed and crop marks showing, the crop marks show up where the color ends instead of .125" in from the edge of the color.
I keep double checking both the ID and Illustrator documents, and I can't see anything wrong. Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't think what.
Has anyone run into this problem before? Any thoughts on what I might be missing and how to fix it? Maybe ID handles bleeds differently than what I'm used to?

When you export to PDF there is an option to set bleeds in the export dialog or use the document bleeds. Maybe you have them set to 0 in the dialog and haven't checked use document bleeds?

Half of film comes out black during export

I'm hoping someone here can help with an issue II'm experiencing when exporting my film.
The export seems to work fine, but when I open the file only the the first half of the film shows, and the second half is just showing a black screen (but the audio is exported).
Does anyone know what the issue could be? I've tried exporting as .h264 and also Prores422, and the issue is the same on both.
I can see and edit the film fine in the timeline, so can't identify what is causing an issue when I export.
Any help most appreciated.
thanks

Thanks for the responses guys.
I've attached a couple of screenshots so you can see what my timeline looks like, and also my export settings. It doesn't appear to be dimmed anywhere.
Appreciate hearing your thoughts.
thanks

Video pixelation after export?

I edited a project for my mulitmedia class in imove, the video looked fine when viewing it in imovie but once I exported it as a quicktime, the video has pixalation in several places, but I don't see that in the imovie version, how can I fix this or edit this

What are your export settings?
And what version of iMovie you're using (answers differ)?

HT4007 What if I buy Aperture 3 now and Aperture 4 or X comes out soon after?

Read great reviews on Aperture 3, but also understand that a new version is soon to be released. Don't wish to invest $$$ if a new version is around the corner.

Only Apple knows the answer to that one and we are just users here.
The fact that Aperture is now being delivered by Apple via the Mac App Store at a considerably lower price than many of us paid for it before the MAS, it may be that Apple will no longer offer upgrade pricing and just release a new version beyond AP 3 at one price as a full product.
In other words, you might have to pay full price for both AP 3 and a new product AP 4 or X if it is released.

Exported video comes out black...

Hi–
So I've been working on a sequence that involves a combination of live action and animation, where the animation was brought in as a PNG sequence.
In the timeline view, everything is 100% fine, but when I export the video the animated portions come out fine and the live action footage comes out black (with the occasional green scan lines).
Any idea why this might be and how to fix it?

Audio out of sync after export!

I've exported this video I've been working on several times under different conditions, no effects, no transitions, no additional media, different formats between AVI, MPEG, H.264, I've uninstalled and re-installed premier, running as administrator.
