Graphics are Pixelated During a Rendered Playback

I am editing 720x480 DVCPro-NTSC footage in 720x480. I have an intro that is all graphics. When I play back, the graphics are noticeably pixelated...even after it is rendered. Is there a filter or setting I should apply to correct the problem?

I think I might have solved my own problem. I added a De-interlace filter to my logos and text and they look better. The De-interlace was set at "Flicker Filter Max".
Does anyone know why this problem happens?
I'm editing the video in 720x480 and a video in 1280x1080. They use the same logo that I built. I built the logo in a 1280x1080 sequence. The logo looks great in 1280x1080, but pixcelated in the 720x480 (mainly around the edges). Any answers to that?

Vector graphics are Pixelated? :[

Zooming in on a vector graphic in CS4 shows FAT pixels around the image (a shape drawn using the pen tool).
I thought vector images weren't made up of pixels?? Or am I doing something wrong?
THANKS!

Cool thanks Man!!! That's cleared it all up. Cheers!!

Text graphics are not clean in Encore playback

I have a project that is all text graphic from a PowerPoint and no matter how I put them into Encore, they don't play back clean. I have made PNG, PSD, JPG and I even redid all the text in Premier Pro. All the same results. I have done this many times before but now nothing seems to work. Looking for answers.

Where can I look for that?

Illustrator and Photoshop text and graphics are pixelated. Using a 5K iMac. Even menu text is pixelated.

Anybody have a solution for this?

CS5 doesn't support Retina, so you'll have to either update or live with it.

All video content pixelated during playback.

Issue: All video content (Trailers, Podcasts, TV shows stored locally, TV shows & music videos streamed from iTunes) are pixelated. HDMI Audio is unaffected as are the AppleTV menus, screen savers and photo slideshows.
*Troubleshooting steps taken:*
Checked HDMI cable connection.
Checked HDMI cable with another device.
Checked various types of video content.
Ran diagnostics on AppleTV. No errors found.
Restored AppleTV to factory conditions.
Upgraded to latest firmware.
Synced content locally.
I have no idea what else to do. Has anyone ran into this situation? What, if anything, could I do to resolve this issue?
I have used my AppleTV without this issue ever happening before as recently as a week ago. The content that I was attempted to watch was purchased from the Apple iTunes store.

Since another device worked with the same cable and port on my Vizio TV I have, the only thing could have been the AppleTV. So I decided to go to the Apple Store. 45 minutes after unplugging the AppleTV I was at the Apple Store. Then after another 40 minutes of waiting for the Genuis, my AppleTV was plugged in and worked perfectly.
The only thing I can think of is the heat from the AppleTV always being on affected the graphics card. Let's see if it happens again.

Live Composition Preview Window...Vector graphics are blurred

Live Composition Preview Window...Vector graphics are blurred even though I have the 'Continuously Rasterize' button selected. I’m using the latest After Effects and Illustrator. Other compositions within the same ae project are all 100%, then when I started another new composition, the graphics are blurred, making it incredibly difficult to work out what I’m animating as I need to zoom in and it blurs a lot. It is not a RAM issue with the MAC. Can anyone help? I was going great creating motion graphics, then all of a sudden his happens and I’ve tried everything. Thanks.

I just presumed that once the 'Continuously Rasterize' button was selected, this would omit any fuzziness regardles of zoom percentage. its a pity it does not in my opinion.
Again, you're misunderstanding what the comp window is doing. It is showing EXACT pixel representation of what is going to be output to the rendered video. Therefore it would be quite wrong of it to show anything at a higher resolution than the final output. As a video pro, I need to know what is going to be output. If I zoom in and it's showing a crisp vector graphic, that's not useful in the least.
If, for some reason, you need to work with something zoomed in, make a composition with a higher resolution and work in that. Then embed it in your final comp.

Placed images in exported PSDs are pixelated

I'm making large prints (40x60) from Illustrator files, and the print plugin requires Photoshop. I am converting the AI file's Document Color Mode to RGB, then exporting to PSD as high-resolution 300ppi, using artboards.
When I export the AI files to PSD and view them in PS, the photographic elements appear pixelated at 100% whereas the text & graphics are smooth and high-res. I've checked the linked photographic files, and they are not pixelated. So what I've had to do is export editable PSDs from AI using the "Write Layers" option, open the files in PS, and then re-place the photographic elements so that they are no longer pixelated.
FYI, Anti-Aliasing is set to Art Optimized (Supersampling). The AI and PS files are both sized to 40x60, and the PSD is opening as 300ppi.
Any idea why this is happening?

If you are linked to the exact same photographic elements that you are replacing manually, then this should not be happening. Check your links palette that you do not have any embed icons such as the top link (looks like an old MacPaint icon).
If you just want flattened images, try saving your .ai files as .eps, then opening them in Photoshop and saving as .psd.
There is a pixel limit when exporting .ai files to .psd, and with 40" x 60" @ 300 dpi that you should have gotten an error on, though they may have increased that limit in CS6.

Xorg graphics are all messed up and glitchy (screenshots) How to fix?

I've set up a new system, but the graphics are super glitchy!
Here's what gdm (gnome) looks like when i enter run level 5 with an existing xorg.conf file:
and here's what it looks like without xorg.conf so settings are automatic:
With the first setup (xorg.conf included) there's no way to log in.
Without xorg.conf, you can see the loging windows and log in, and when you get to the desktop, the background remains all messed up just like at the login screen.
Any ideas what might be wrong? i'll be right back to post my xorg.conf

Even vector-based layers are pixelated. Why?

The files I am creating in photoshop are all coming out very pixelated lately. Especially after I flatten the image or export it to a pdf. This is true even for text layers, eps files I placed, and vector-based objects I drew. The photo layers are pixelated too, even though they were hi-res to begin with and I only made them smaller when I added them to my document. Any idea why everything is so pixelated? I tried changing the file from 72 to 300 pixels/inch, but that didn't clarify the images. It just smoothed the edges a bit.

As Chris pointed out if you flatten you no longer have any vector graphics, To save your vector graphics you need to save in a layered format. PSB, PSD or Tiff.
You can additionally save different sized non layered image files from your layered document. When you use Image Size to resample you document to a different size vector layers like shapes and text will be resized using vector graphics and pixel layers will be interpolated using the method you set in the image size dialog or your Photoshop preferences interpolation method. It would be best if you use a tool like one of the Image Processor scripts to save these files from your Layer documents files so your layered files are not changed and over written. Some of the Image Processor scripts use Photoshop plug-in Fit Image to do the resizing. Fit Image uses interpolation method bicubic. The newer Image Processor Pro can be downloaded from Russell Browns web site once installed you will find it under menu File>Automate>Image Processor Pro. Its let you set which interpolations methods should be used for different output file sets.

Printed Graphics appear pixelated!?

Dear InDesign comunity!,
I am working for a small Video-production company based in Austria, today i finished my first DVD Layout. (Cover+Label)
I designed the label in PS CC 2014, exported as PNG and printed with the software "CD Label Print", i believe, it came with our Canon MG6300 Inkjet, absolutely no Problems.
The Cover, however, i designed in ID CC, i have to admit, i am not very skilled with ID and i am not an expert on printing either. I also printed with our Inkjet directly out of ID, best settings, Photo paper and also told the printer, that i was going to use photo paper. The print settings in ID, i left at default, i only centered the image in the sheet.
Here, all graphics i used appear pixelated at the edges, the Graphics are very large and i know, they are not the problem, because i used two of them on the label as well and there they are perfect, even though they are even smaller than on the cover. I also exported the project to a PDF and there, when i zoom in, no problems at all.
I think i should also mention, that i used very small text on the cover as well. This looks good though, i don't think, that i could achieve much better results with an Inkjet.
But what did i do wrong with the graphics?? i think they were all either PSD or PNG i just dragged them from the finder window and placed them using the place-gun.
Does anyone have an idea, what i could do better next time? (besides taking the file to a print-shop)
Any help would be much appreciated.
Greetings from Austria,
Nigi

Ok, als Österreicher antworte ich auf Deutsch.
Du solltest kein PNG für InDesign verwenden, das ist einfach kein Druckformat. Wenn Du Bilder mit Text verwendest, dann importiere aus Photoshop PDFs, sonstiges Bildmaterial als PSD.
Für Druckdaten exportiert man PDFs nach den Vorgaben der Druckerei, aber niemals Rasterformate wie JPG oder PNG, ansonsten werden die Texte gerastert und verpixeln zur Unleserlichkeit.
Ausdrucken immer aus dem PDF!

Cs6 windows are pixelated

Does anyone know how to fix the cs6 program settings that are pixelated? For example, my tool bar icons are pixelated. The vector artwork in illustrator cs6 are have ragged edges. If anyone can help me with this, I'd really appreciate it.

Yep, yucky Adobe graphics on Retinas will be a persistent issue till they get their act together and put out a compatible version.
And if you add the double whammy of running VISTA ( ) with as yet inadequate drivers, I'm surprised you're able to use it at all.

I am still uing iMovie09. When I try to export movie some of share parts which are fine during editing, become very shaking. What should I do?

I am still uing iMovie09. When I try to export movie some of share parts which are fine during editing, become very shaking. What should I do?

Thank you so much...
1. I don't have that fat format I checked as I saw this on another answer...BUT...you are right the project was very bloated and I made a new project with the sequence and moved a bunch of projects off to an outside drive and things are flying again...this effect "twirl" was on three clips and this seemed to be creating a problem along with it being a bloated project. Don't know why this effect renders easily then the next second doesn't it's on three clips on the entire project and one or another might not render all of a sudden.
2. I understand what you said about the timeline export...I decided to export the sequence without the matte it was nested in and that sequence did have the chapter markers on the timeline and they again didn't export??? I'll look tomorrow at this it makes no sense if what you're saying is how to do it...the final cut pro book said they should have showed up if I export from the browser and that didn't work either.
3. I then matted that output and rendered it to output but I am worried this will degrade and compress the sequence more than I want by outputting the same sequence with current settings twice???...the couple of outputs I could make nested looked very good as this was one render...however, I tried doing a quicktime "current settings" with the dvd studio pro info still trying to export chapter markers and maybe it's my imagination but the output didn't look as sharp as just an output with just chapter markers???
r. I did look at the final cut pro book and it says that mpeg 2 movies will not read chapter markers anyway if you create one in compressor...if this is true it makes no difference if the quicktime output isn't having chapter markers show up. I assume when I go to author though I can put an mpeg 2 movie into dvd studio pro and create chapter markers at that point!! It seems weird it says it can do it with an mpeg 1 but not an mpeg 2 when everyone is using that for dvds.

G5 crashes during iTunes video playback after Leopard install

I have a G5 1.6 single-processor running 10.5.1. Since I installed Leopard, I have been experiences frequent crashes during iTunes video playback (TV shows bought in the iTunes store). The crashes hang my whole system and require a restart by holding down the power button. The video itself sort of "blip-blip-blips" during the crash, but the mouse and keyboard are unresponsive, windows don't do anything, etc.
Any thoughts? Anyone else with this problem? Thanks!

Ever since I installed Leopard on my dual 2ghz G5, neither itunes nor quicktime player works. They both crash on launch. Maybe not the same issue, but I'm regretting the upgrade.

Highlights in files are pixelated / colored

Hi all,
Not sure what's going on - and wondering if it's a driver issue - but for the past few days whenever I open an image in PS CC, it comes out with the highlights pixelated. See the attached screenshots to see - very weird. This does not happen in any other program, including Lightroom - only in PS CC.
Any ideas?. FWIW, I'm running Windows 7 Pro, graphics are Radeon 7870.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Jake

Hi Trevor,
I recently did a clean install of Windows 7 (64-bit), but the problem didn't start immediately - it took a few days, which seems strange. But, I am trying to download and install a new set of drivers for my card, and hoping that will help.
As for preferences, yes, I think I've got all that correct. There's no "GPU Acceleration" option, but I have checked "Use Graphics Processor", and my cache levels are at 6.
I'll update if the driver reinstall fixes the issue. I've had numerous issues with AMD's Catalyst Control Center in the past, and am guessing that is the culprit.
Thanks,
Jake
