Having problems compressing web movie, quality doesn't look good, PLZ HELP

Hi guys,
I used to be able to create a sharp/ crisp clean quicktime 7 web streaming movie in compressor 3 with it's default settings but lately it appears to be compressing a very poor quality QT7 web streaming movie. I have not changed any settings as far as I know.
I have always used H.264 800kbps for High Bandwidth and never had any problems with quality or the way it looked.
Can anyone help me out please.
Thanks,
Zia

Are you compressing the same kind of source material (content) as before? If you have content with a lot of fast motion (i.e. sports), you might need to adjust the video bitrate accordingly (increase it).
You could also try implementing frame controls and try an other more appropriate frame size. Have a look at this post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7525834&#7525834

  • Exported QTmovie quality doesn't look good at all..

    I've composed, graded, and edited my sequence within FCS and just now exported it as a QT movie file.
    It looks WAY less quality than the original movie file which was encoded with Compressor to Apple ProRes 422 (HQ).
    Let me explain about my workflow and please tell me what I am missing here.
    1. Shoot with Canon 5D Mark2 at the highest quality
    2. Encode the files to Apple ProRes422 (HQ)
    3. make a sequence and send to Color
    4. Create two grades, G1 is in color and G2 is in B&W, render and send back to FCP
    5. make a new sequence, put G1 in track v1 and G2 in track v2, bring it to Motion
    6. in Motion, change the top layer's blend mode to exclusion, save it and export as QT movie
    7. import the exclusion sequence to FCP, make a new sequence with it
    8. Now, v1=exclusion movie(background) and put v2=original color clips(showing part of it), send it to Motion
    9. Compose two layers with bezier mask putting some feather around
    10. Save it in Motion and export it in FCP as Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)
    The final output looks bad. Especially, the feather and graded parts looks choppy and not smooth.
    Information of the files before and after is almost the same except output file has *Integre (Big...)* right after Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)...
    I will look into details and all the settings but if you think of anything please let me know.
    Where to look and what should be set ...etc.
    I'd really appreciate your input! Thanks in advance.

    Hi Nick,
    Thanks for the link but it doesn't seem to apply my case.
    I've already set the QT preference and I use Leopard+FCP7.
    Maybe, I am using too much of Motion/Color for composing, layering, masking etc?
    All the integration cause that kind of result??---Lesser quality export.
    Please let me know what I should keep in mind most when I want to integrate FCP/Color/Motion, going back and forth.
    I'd appreciate any advice from you!

  • This doesn't look good.  Help would be appreciated.

    Booted up into 10.3.9 after being on OS 9.2 which is on another internal drive and got a BLACK screen with this message.
    etc/master password: NO SUCH file or directory
    Lucky enough I was able to go back to my OS 9 drive. My 10.3 is still there on the desktop with everything in it. What am I looking at and how can I get back on my 10.3 drive? I have my OS disks and still can access my files if need be from my OS 9 drive if this can offer to any solutions.
    Like everyone I have alot invested and do have most everything backed up on an external drive. **** good thing too.
    Thanks to anyone with some suggestions or assistance.
    Chad

    < have my OS disks >
    Well. it would seem to me that the best way to proceed would be as follows:
    You say you have backup copies of all your most important stuff.
    You also say you have OS9 and OS10 installed on 2 separate hard drives.
    This is not really necessary, as OS10.3 includes Classic (a perfectly functioning version of OS9).
    I suggest that after making backup copies of anything else in your computer that you feel is very important, you reformat the bigger of your two internal drives, and do a complete clean re-install of 10.3.9.
    Then you should just trash the other copy of OS9 so that the only thing your computer can start up from, is OS 10.
    Also, avoid the "master password" thing by not setting one. I've heard many terrible stories of people forgetting the master password. IMHO a password for each user is more than enough to stop intruders getting into my computer, plus encryption software that make my most sensitive files impossible to penetrate.

  • Having problems importing my .mov file.

    I am having problems importing several .mov files into iMovie. I also can't import .wmv files and I have been utterly confused. I know I have to convert the files but I don't want to pay for a program because I will only be converting 4 files. Please help!

    What is Mpeg Streamclip
    It is a free conversion application that accesses the QT structure and all installed QT components without having to pay the $30 for QT Pro or purchasing GarageBand. It's "engine" is MPEG-based, so it can do some things that QT Pro cannot do ( e.g., retaining audio content when converting multiplexed compression formats). On the other hand, it cannot perform layer operations like QT Pro can so these applications are somewhat complementary.
    and is there anyway you can send me a link to download this program please?

  • I'm having problems loading web pages on a vmware workstation 6.05 guest OS using Firefox 3.5.9. I can ping external websites fine from the guest. No proxy. Any ideas?

    I'm having problems loading web pages on a vmware workstation 6.05 guest OS using Firefox 3.5.9. Also tried the latest 3.6 version. I can ping external websites fine from the guest. No proxy. Any ideas?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I installed a guest OS

    I'm using the same swear words as you. There are several threads about this problem - no answers.
    I have a LaserJet 8100N and 8150DN, get the 79.01FE error on the 8150 from print outs from Safari, Firefox, and Preview, for only some sites/documents. CNN.com has become my test site, seems I can crash the printer 90% of the time with their home page at any given time in the day.
    A summary of what I have tried:
    - Upgraded the firmware to the latest for both the JetDirect card and the printer.
    - Swapped the JetDirect cards between the 8100 and 8150.
    - Swapped ram on the 8150 board.
    - Disconnected external trays, bins, and removed extra RAM and hard drives from the 8150.
    - Tried setting the JetDirect link and matching switch port link to 100FD, 10HD, 10FD, 100HD, as suggested by a poster.
    - Tried having client's print to the printer through a XServer Print Server.
    - Can consistently create the error from multiple systems running 10.3.9, 10.4.5, and 10.4.6 (didn't have an install base of 10.4 before 10.4.5).
    Someone in the 'know' (which means they're likely not), said 10.4.7 will likely fix this. Being Apple has not even addressed that the problem exists (that I could find), I doubt the magic fix is a release away.
    Apple's software is triggering something that Windows systems appears not to be, so one could say it's an Apple problem; but ulimately it's HP's software/hardware that is at fault in that it is allowing their system to crash from input alone.

  • Iweb website doesn't look good on our web server (apache2)

    hello,
    I made a website on iweb and then published it to a folder. I then copied the files to our web server (linux, sles9). When I viewed the files on my laptop, it looked fine. But when I put the files on the web server, it looks bad.
    please see www DOT tkminc DOT com
    Why are all the spaces full of capital letter A's? It's not just that. The second page doesn't look good either. I was all happy about using iweb until I saw the results on the web server. Why is this happening?
    Thanks,
    oskar

    Why are all the spaces full of capital letter A's?
    I don't see any A's.
    But if one does see such characters, it is normally because the server is (mis)configured to force all browsers to use the wrong encoding. See this note:

  • Gui program doesn't look good with startx

    I did not install a DE in arch linux, just to keep it lightweight. However, my GUI application doesn't look good running with start x.
    is there any package I can install to make it look better, like fonts, visuals, or the only way is to install either KDE or GNOME desktops?

    If you did not install a desktop environment or one of the windows managers, and you are using startx without having created your very own ~/.xinitrc, then you are using a very simple WM called twm.
    You may really want to look at the wiki documentation that was linked in your other thread -- If you are trying to stay light, there are other choices to Gnome or KDE.   Look at i3,  Openbox, xfce4, or any of the other beloved environments discussed at length of these forums.
    Even with twm, you can install and run a screen shot program.

  • KDE fonts under Gnome doesn't look good

    Ok, most people complains about GTK fonts under KDE. I have the inverse problem, my kde apps doesn't look good into gnome.
    If I run kde, the fonts are displayed properly with small size, but if I run gnome and the run a kde app, the fonts are very big.
    When i run a gtk app under kde, the fonts are showed properly but it doesn't use my gnome theme.
    Anyone have a solution on making kde apps looking good under gnome?

    Even though it's the inverse problem, it's likely still the same solution.  Gnome has a Gconf setting for DPI.  Otherwise you change it as an option to X.  Where you do so depends on how you start up X though (startx, xdm, kdm, gdm, etc).  I'll post back once I'm in Gnome and tell you where you can change the DPI.

    For DVD you can't use H.264.  You need MPEG2-DVD.

  • Im having problem with the dvd quality, I'm using compressor to convert the video fils from apple prores to mpeg2 .It doesn't matter how long my video is even if its just 5 minutes  I'm getting cut edges in the video , does anyone have any idea ?

    Im having a problem with the dvd quality, I'm using compressor to convert the video fils from apple prores to mpeg2 .It doesn't matter how long my video is even if its just 5 minutes  I'm getting cut edges/lines  in the video specialy if i have titles it comes up really bad , I took the same video to a friend of mine who have PC and he uses Encore , did the encoding there and it was just fine no problems! BTW I tried using doferent setings in compressor from CBR and VBR I even pushed up the setings to 8 or 9 BR and still no luck !
    does anyone have any idea ?
    Thanks in advence ...

    Let's focus attention on just the Sony. (What model and what resolution are you shooting?)
    For now, I'll assume you're shooting 1080i.
    Take a representaive clip  into a new sequence. Add a title.
    In your sequence, make sure field dominance is set to Upper.
    Set render settings to Pro Res 422.
    After rendering, export QT self contained.
    Import into Compressor (I'm now referring to v3.5).
    Select the 90 minute Best quality DVD preset.
    Open frame controls and turn on (click the gear icon). Set Resize filter to Best.
    Submit burn and check quality on TV.
    Good luck.

  • Having problems starting Web Services... need help!

    I'm running Mac Server 10.5.7 currently configured for email and I've just decided to start hosting websites. The problem I'm having is that Web Services will fail to start with any sites configured. Web Services will start if I don't have any sites configured.

    So, I've read through all the documents and tried to apply what I've learned. I must say, I dove in head first. There's a lot to digest here. Maybe I'm reading too much.
    I ran the Terminal and 'sudo' command you requested. This is the result.
    "Syntax Ok."
    Since posting this question I've installed mySQL, but I'm not exactly sure what it does.
    I've tried changing to the httpd.conf file, but nothing is working. All I get when I type in "localhost" is cannot "connect to web server". At least before I was getting the "apple default page".
    Need some advice on how to get this all straightened out. Looks like I made a pretty good mess of things.
    Thanks for all the help!

  • Compressed Web movie looks stretched vertically instead of 16:9, HELP!

    Hi guys, I shot some footage with Canon XL2, 16:9, 24pa.
    After editing I put it in compressor 3 to make a quicktime 7 H.264 web streaming movie,
    with frame size 720x480,
    but the movie is stretched vertically.
    Can anyone help me with the settings to keep it 16:9.
    Thanks
    Zia

    Just set the frame size to a Custom (16:9) aspect ratio in Compressor, and the pixel aspect ratio to Square. You find those settings in the Inspector window, under the Geometry tab.
    Calculating the aspect ratio manually is pretty easy too, but when using Compressor, you can just let Compressor do the job.
    Width / 16 * 9 = Height
    I would recommend implementing frame controls in your workflow too. Have a look at this post: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7309534#7309534
