Grainy Video when I Scale to Size

I have a complex video I am working on and, I need some help. I have footage from my family that is all the way back before my parents were married. A lot of that is 8MM, but I also have VHS, HI8, current full 1080 footage, and every picture I could find from the past. It was suggested to me to use standard definition for my timeline since a lot of video I have is standard. It works great for all the old footage, but the current footage and my pictures get grainy when I Scale them to the timeline. My pictures are pretty hi res too. When I compare the pictures in the timline to the original or another sequence for higher. I thought it would have been fine to take high res pices and scale them to the timeline. Am I wrong about that?
Thank you for any help.

No I have not. I will try that and let you know!

How to automatically let the video getting scaled when the browser changes size

Hi,
I'm using a f4v file with dimension 1200x720 and I might upload a 1920x1080 version.
You can see it at work on www.etmotionpictures.com
I want to the movie to automatically (down)scale in the browser.
So when I resize the browserwindow and refresh the page, I thought the movie would be resized to the new dimension of the browser-window but it didn't do it.
Maybe I misunderstood what scalemode=letterbox is doing.
By the way I used to generate the code and then paste it in a html file.
Here is the code:
I just realized it might have something to do with the fact that the width and height are added in the parameter and at the beginning when the object is declared. Do I need to change that in order for the video to automatically scale.
Thanks for any help.
I really appreciate it!!!

Hi,
Thanks for helping me on the right track.
I used swffit to accomplish what I wanted.
Here is the link: http://swffit.millermedeiros.com
Here is the code I used for anyone who want to do the same thing:
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
          <script type="text/javascript" src="swffit.js"></script>
          <script type="text/javascript">
               /* swfobject.embedSWF("example.swf", "my_flash", "550", "400", "8.0.0"); */
               var flashvars = {};
               var params = {};
               params.bgcolor = "#000000";
               params.menu = "false";
               params.quality = "high";
               params.scale = "no_scale";
               params.bgcolor = "#FFFFFF";
               params.allowFullScreen = "true";
               params.AllowScriptAccess = "always";
               /* params.movie ="http://osmf.org/dev/1.5gm/StrobeMediaPlayback.swf"; */
               flashvars.src="http%3A%2F%2Fwww.etcmotionpictures.com%2Fetc.f4v";
               flashvars.playButtonOverlay="false";
               flashvars.controlBarMode="none";
               flashvars.controlBarAutoHide="false";
               flashvars.autoPlay="true";
               var attributes = {id: "my_flash"};
               swfobject.embedSWF("http://osmf.org/dev/1.5gm/StrobeMediaPlayback.swf", "my_flash", "800", "450", "8.0.0", "", flashvars, params, attributes);
               swffit.fit("my_flash"); //Since v2.3 swffit use the same size of swfobject by default (but you can set a new size if you want)
          </script>
And of course a div tag in the body:
<div id="my_flash"> </div>

Does anyone know why video image in events section has a certain dimension and instead when I import same video in a clip, the size of video image is minor? Thanks for help

This may depend on your chosen encoding options for the Mails (MIME vs. Base64 or similar) and/or the mails being reduced in size and sliced up server side. Apple (and Google) do stuff like recompressing images when viewing mails on mobile devices from an Apple ID or Gmail account... You have to turn it off in their web frontends....

With Premiere elements 11, when Publish/Share (saving) a finished video, selecting H.264 .mov file type, what are the recommended Codec and Aspect settings for a crisp video and a small file size?

We will customize a very detailed reply, but
(a) What are the properties of your source media?
(b) What did you or the program set as the project preset to match the properties of the source media?
(c) What specific requirements do you have for this H.264.mov export file?
File size can be a compromise between bitrate, file size, and quality.
Thanks.

I am having trouble keeping the quality of my video when exporting to my external drive. I change the kind to "original" but when I view the video from the external drive once exported, the sound and picture are distorted.

I am having trouble keeping the quality of my video when exporting to my external hard drive. I have tried to export from iphoto with changing kind to "original" but when I open the video from the external drive the quality is effected. I have also tried copying the video to my desktop and then dragging and dropping onto the drive...same problem. Any suggestions? I would like to save everything to my external drive so that I can delete all of iphoto library and then reimport to correct a few things.

The file sizes are identical. In the finder I did a search for all .mov files. Then when they came up, I went through them and named each one so that they would be easier to find. I am a new mac user and am used to windows. I realized later that I should not have done this....with a mac files should be named within iphoto app...not finder....When I went to open the videos in iphoto, it wouldn't allow me. I had to go into finder, copy to desktop and reimport into iphoto. Then the videos worked again. However, I had the problem with the poor video quality when copied to external drive before that. Actually the first problem I had was when I copied to ext drive...videos were copying as an image...so I learned that you have to change "kind" to original before exporting....then that problem was solved...now they are videos, not images but not of a great quality. Skips, sound and images are not in sync...etc...

I am using a PC with window 7 and adobe photoshop 12. I have followed Photoshop Elements Help and I still have the same problem. When I try to backup Photoshop 12 it has stop on7% when calculating Total Media size. What can I do?

Hi Prabhuram and falez,
This issue appears where there are any inconsistencies in your catalog (generally for video files). This issue may be due to offline files, missing files, video scenes. The recommendation here would be to fix these inconsistencies and try again. If that doesn't solve the issue, please follow steps mentioned in email by me.

Only imports audio, no video when using DSLR .mov files

I just upgraded to CS6 on my Mac Lion. I created a project using the DSLR settings and tried to import a .mov video clip taken from my Canon 5D camera. Strange thing is it only imported the audio and not the video. I tried many of clips and just audio.
As tests, I tried importing a .mpeg clip from an HDV camcorder and it worked fine. I also changed the extension of the DSLR clip to .mpeg and it still didn't work. The DSLR clips imported fine in CS4, but not CS6. Also as another test, I tried importing on a different Mac computer using Premiere Pro CS6 (from creative cloud) and it imported perfectly. So I'm not sure why it's doing it on my computer? The files open fine in QuickTime.
The only thing that worked was I exported the .Mov files from the DSLR to a HDV .Mov file and it DID import correctly. I don't want to have to go through that step everytime though (or loss the quality)
Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks

I too am having this problem. The video I am trying to import is a .MOV file from a Canon 5D Mark III. When I check the properties of the file in Premiere Pro 5.5, this is what it says:
File Path: S:\Photos\5D mark 3\Video\0F2A0089

As you can see PP 5.5 notices the video; it even tells me the # of frames in the video but it won't display it. It might be worth saying the video files from my Canon XF100 work just fine. This is extremely frustrating. Any help would be very much appreciated.

GRAINY VIDEOS?

I have a panasonic sdr-h40 and for some reason when i import my videos into imovie they're grainy. When i watch them on the cam they look fine but when i put them on the computer they're grainy and look like old vhs videos. Anything i can do about it or prevent it?

Is the playback in quicktime bad as well?
For DV footage, yes. But if you have QT Pro, you can enable High Quality and it will look better.
Or is there another software i can use to see what the footage will eventually look like?
That depends on what you want to do with the movie: Web movie? YouTube? DVD? Anything else?

Flickering video when iusing keyframes!

Hi,
I have been struggling with this for a couple of days now and its time to ask some advice!
The problem I am having is that I am getting flickering in an animation I have created. The animation works perfectly and the videos within the animation play smoothly with no problems at all. The only time I get this flickering effect is when I scale the videos to 100% from 20% over 30 frames using keyframes, as the video is getting larger the video flickers as if the fields were wrong.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks Chris
P.S. Just for you info I am working in PAL 16/9, 25 frames a second, even field first.
I save the motion project then open it in FCP, export from FCP as uncompressed 8 bit PAL, then compress this file with compressor to best quality 90mins, then burn onto a DVD with DVD Studio Pro.
Thanks again

Hi,
I have done a lot of searches on this and I am quite sure PAL is lower first (Even), check halfway down this link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA26010?viewlocale=en_US
I have however tried your other suggestions, but they make the video flicker all the way through, not just when it is scaling.
Thanks for your input though

Shaky Video when Burned to DVD

Hello all,
Call me an amatuer when it comes to camcorders. I have a Sony DCR-SR40 HDD camcorder and when I take video recorded on this device, transfer to my Mac, and then edit in HD 6, the video (when played back on a DVD) comes out shaky for action video where people are moving. It is almost like there are tracers when they are moving.
When the raw footage is played back in its native mpg format it looks fine, and when it is burned using Sony's "One Touch" DVD burn the video is not shaky or look like it has tracers, it looks fine. I am thinking it has to do with the quality of the image being recorded by the video camera and that when it gets compiled/burned to DVD it causes the shakiness. It has done this in iMovie HD 6 and in Adobe Elements 3.0. Is there a fix for this?
If it is just a camcorder issue, any recommendations for a good quality camcorder to capture sports footage (Football) that would burn great in iMovie and not have that shakiness/tracers?

>MPEG2 exported from Premeire, to quicktime, to encore
That is, to me, a backwards work flow
Mpeg2 is an output format... but you are using it as your source file in Premiere... what is the source of the file?
Read Bill Hunt on a file type as WRAPPER http://forums.adobe.com/thread/440037
What is a CODEC... a Primer http://forums.adobe.com/thread/546811
What CODEC is INSIDE that file? http://forums.adobe.com/thread/440037
Report back with the codec details of your file, use the programs below... a screen shot works well to SHOW people what you are doing
For PC http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ or http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en
For Mac http://mediainfo.massanti.com/
You are then exporting to Quicktime... which Encore must then encode to MPEG2 to make a DVD (the VOB on a DVD is a renamed MPEG)
You are starting with a compressed file... exporting which may add more compression... and compressing again in Encore... it is no wonder your DVD has lost quality

Every time I make a call or I'm receiving a call my phone is extremely static i can't hear the person on the other line and the person on the other line cannot hear anything They say that they hear a lot of static now my videos when I play a video on YouT

Every time I make a call or I'm receiving a call my phone is extremely static i can't hear the person on the other line and the person on the other line cannot hear anything They say that they hear a lot of static now my videos when I play a video on YouTube for instance works just fine Siri works just fine. I can't make a call or receive a call whatsoever because all I hear is static and I haven't dropped the phone in water nothing has really happened this literally happened overnight

This is a wireless carrier issue. The fact that the speaker & microphone work properly for other apps is a great indicator that your device is fine.
Contact your wireless carrier about your call quality issue.
