HD video looks interlacy. Why?

When I transfer HD video from my HD video cameras to either iMovie or FCP it looks great. But when I play one of those files by opening it with Quicktime Pro(most recent version) it looks strange. I can see an interlacing effect even if I shot it in progressive. Why?

Ok, what do I change in the general tab?

  • Importing footage from my canon hv30 video looks slow why?

    Footage done in canon hv30 HD looks a bit slow audio is ok. I try putting case in none and it looks just a bit better. somebody?

    This camera doesn't actually shoot 24fps. It shoots 24 over 60.
    "You can change the camcorder's frame capture rate to 24p (recorded at 60i), which provides the appearance of the same frame rate as movie film." (From the Canon web site)
    This means the tape is actually recording 29.97 with pulldown added to make up the difference.
    Bottom line: the media is 29.97, what iMovie calls 30.

  • Why does the videos looks so slow

    why does the videos looks so slow only in the internet

    Many reasons, like what format they are, for instance Flash Videos will be slower.
    Any links to the slow ones?

    Have you tried using Quicktime Player 7?
    Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded.

    Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
    Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".

  • Why does my Gopro black 3+ video look so bad on PRE11 while editing & after DVD creation playback.

    Well let start with.  When I do a project with video from my Samsung S4 phone or my IPhone 5 or my Canon T4i  looks great on computer screen and when I play back a burned DVD or AVHCD.  I just directly import from file on my hard drive.  My Samsung is at 1920x1040 30fps mp4 .  I believe the IPhone is a 1920x1080 MOV format.
    It is the GoPro video that  PRE11 has a problem with.  I record at 1920x1080 30fps.  Nothing special.
    First the computer screen.  On both of my computers when I right click on the playback screen.
    Quality Highest; Magnification Fit; Safe Margin unchecked; Playback External device None; Aspect Hardware; Desktop Audio; 24Progresive Conversion Interlaced 2332; Export External Device DV 29.97 720; Checked Disable video output.
    As for Publish.  DVD I use preset NTSC widescreen dvd; AVCHD h264 1920x1080I ntsc.
    Any other ideas why the GoPro video looks bad on computer screen & on dvd on hd tv.
    Some say you first must convert GoPro mp4 to AVI then import.  That seems crazy.  Why can Samsung mp4 work great and GoPro mp4 not.
    It seems that Adobe has not correctly written code for MP4 from on of the largest camcorder producers.

    Thank you for starting your own new thread on your Premiere Elements workflow after initially posting in the thread of another.
    Adobe Premiere Elements 13 Latest Developments
    For your convenience, this is a copy of my reply to you in that thread which was left unanswered
    johng1234321
    Thank you for the reply. What I was looking for mostly are the properties of the 1920 x 1080p30 GoPro3+ Black footage that you are trying to use in
    Premiere Elements 11. Are you working with the H.264.mp4 format or are you working with a Cineform.avi format? If it is the H.264.mp4 format, I am not seeing why you should be doing anything else but importing the H.264.mp4 into Premiere Elements 11 using the project preset set by you manually or the project automatically. Best you set the project preset manually to assure the correct project preset in this case.
    NTSC
    DSLR
    1080p
    DSLR 1080p30@ 29.97
    There are times when the project does not interpret correctly the properties of the video when it is the first file dragged to the Timeline. When it does not do it correctly, it does not give you the closest possible fit between project preset and properties of source media, instead it gives you its default 1080i which is not appropriate for your 1080p footage.

    To get a better perspective on your comparison between your cell phone and GoPro results....are you saying that you can take the videos from the cell phones and import them into Premiere Elements 11 without issue, audio out of sync or other? Are you converting the cell phone video at any time - to change a variable to constant frame size or other?
    Depending on your details, I would offer to look at a sample of your specific H.264.mp4 file for which you cannot get a decent DVD-VIDEO on DVD or AVCHD format on DVD disc. If you opt to do this, you might consider sending the sample via a Dropbox link posted in this thread. I am concerned that your GoPro issue on Premiere Elements 11 is going to get lost in this thread on a different topic. If we do not gain ground on the issue soon, please consider starting a new thread on your issue so that the details and especially the results will be found more easily by those users seeking answers for the type of problem that you describe.
    The answers will be in the details.
    Thanks for the follow ups.

  • Why does my video look a wee bit fuzzy?

    Hello! I just edited up some highlight clips of the Paramus vs Hackensack (for you NJ people!) football game from last night in Premiere Elements 4. It looks great on my computer (filmed with a Canon GL2), but when I put it online, it was fuzzier than I had anticipated:
    http://www.rivals.com/uploads/1123/692780.wmv
    Here is how I saved it:
    1) I created the clips in Adobe Premier Elements.
    2) I used the "share" feature.
    3) From there I put it on the "Windows Media" option, as the Flash option has never worked for me.
    4) I saves it.
    Any ideas?

    Well, do note that a WMV file is only about 1/4 the resolution of your original video, so there's going to be a lot less clarity. Also, WMV files, because they're made for streaming online, are compressed -- which means that scenes of lots of action (such as a football game) are more challenging to produce than scenes of static images.
    But, having not seen the original footage, I think your video looks pretty good for online video!

  • Video looks ok in source window but distorted in Program window.

    I am trying to work with video clips shot using a Canon XF 305 at 1280 X 720 at 60P FPS.  Using the Canon XF utility, I have injested the clips from the card to my hard drive where they are stored as MXF files. Using Premiere’s media browser, I imported them into bins from my hard drive.  I set up the sequence to match the clips settings . The video looks fine in the Source window but when I bring over onto the timeline- the same clip looks distorted with artifacts in the program window. I then used Adobe Prelude to convert the MXF files into ProRes 422 LT files with same resolution of 1280 X 720 at 59.94 frames FPS.  I used the media browser to bring those pro-res clips into Premier and set up another new sequence to match the clips setting.  I get the same problem- the video looks good in the source window but terrible in the program window when I bring them into the timeline.  They are completely distorted with artifacts.  This is the first time I have tried working with 1280 x 720 60p fps clips.  I have successfully worked with 1920 X1080P 30P clips from the same camera with no issues.  Any ideas on what I am doing wrong and how to correct my workflow will be appreciated.
    I am using a 2009 Intel Mac Pro with Snow leopard 10.6.8

    Is your 'Playback and Pause' resolution set to 'Full' for your program monitor?
    Also, why not just drag one of the clips to the 'New Item' button at the bottom of the project window to make a sequence with the settings of your clip?

  • My YouTube video looks blurry using Adobe Media Encoder

    Im trying to upload a video to YouTube but the video always turns out blurry and pixilated regardless of what settings I use in my Adobe Media Encoder. I shot the video on a Sony 1080i HD camcorder, I know YouTube reduces the quality but I expect my images (ie peoples faces) should still be clear enough to see but that hasnt been the case. I went to the following site for guidance but I still cant get it right.
    http://www.squidoo.com/youtuberight
    Here are my settings that I thought would make my video look great on YouTube. What am I doing wrong?
    H.264 format
    Frame Width (pixels): 320
    Frame Height (pixels): 240
    4:3 Aspect Ratio
    30 frames per second
    TV Standard: NTSC

    I heard sometime ago that YouTube converts everything uploaded to
    Flash or FLV format. I have not used the iPod format for this purpose in CS3 but Rick has obviously found that it works well, however, I would recommend using Adobe Media Encoder to FLV and set it to 320X240 with no more than 1MB/sec bit rate to maximize quality and minimize file size since it's not going to be larger than that on Youtube.
    The FLV raw file will be ecoded using VP6 or Sorenson's older version courtesy of PPro CS3 unfortunatley, but I feel the best codec to use is 264. Why PPro, especially CS3, does not offer this codec is unkown. That could be a reason why Rick's videos look good and that he may have shot them in HD. But then again, HD to 320X240 would seem to be self defeating. iPod format is indeed, believe it or not, 720X480. If you have published anything to the iTunes store, this is a required format which is not optional as it is with Youtube.

  • Video looks darker in iMovie.

    I've been working with iMovie for some years already. I have never been able to figure out why the videos look darker in iMovie than they look in the camcorder.
    I use a Sony HandycamDCR-PC101-NTSC (DV). The difference between the LCD on the camcorder and what I'm getting while/after the movie is imported is pretty obvious. Then, when the final movie comes out of iDVD looks darker specially in those already dark-low light scenes. Is there anything that I can do. Please. Thanks

    Hi G
    1. The LCD-screen on my Camera can be set brigth <-> dark with buttons
    I set it in middle value (setting)
    2. On the menu in my Camera I can set extra bright LCD-screen (for out doors
    and in Sun)
    3. iMovie: Brightnes & Contrast - are very crude. Nearly useless.
    If Your movie is of importance - looking into/testing or even buying
    FinalCut Express (or Pro) gives very much better tools to adjust the image
    - BUT - To a cost and a rather steap learning curve.
    (I use it - mainly when I need to Contrast/Brightness, Color correct and
    when the image is in need of slight rotation (can do any angel).

  • Videos look awful in iTunes, much better in Quicktime Player

    I was, just as many others, deceived by the quality of video clips bought on iTMS (I started with the beautiful Love Profusion, by Madonna, and M.Jackson's Thriller).
    The picture appeared in particular pixellated in sull screen, this for many videos.
    (and the interface is so stupid : why do you have to play a clip in order to be able to switch to full screen, except maybe to keep Quicktime Pro's full screen in QT Player option alive ?)
    Then I just remembered how my videos played beautifully in Quicktime Player, and often awfully in iTunes, since iTunes 4.9.
    So I tried them in Quicktime Player (I have a 7.0 Pro license). (select in iTunes, command-R, command-O, command-F, you're done)
    They look much much better.
    And same goes for my non-iTMS videos, even after being converted to the iPod-friendly format with Quicktime Player.
    I just remember reading from a member of the iTunes team how quick it had been to add video capabilities to iTunes (since 4.9 I think).
    Maybe it was dine a bit too quickly.
    I just thought it would have been fixed BEFORE the release of a video-capable iPod and the sale of video clips on the iTMS.
    I now hope that on the video capable iPod (waiting for mine), these videos look more like in QT Player than like in iTunes Mac.
    It looks like iTunes 6 forgets to or cannot do H.264 post-processing correctly. By the way, this post-processsing is part of the standard specification, according to Apple's technology brief
    (http://images.apple.com/quicktime/pdf/H264TechnologyBrief.pdf), which means that the encoding process takes into account the de-pixellization done in post-processing (unlike divx for example, if I understand correctly), and that iTunes decoding is not even compliant to the H.264 standard.
    Having such a bad, broken video player as iTunes 6 for both quality and ergonomy (at least on Mac) is SO STUPID.
    I hope someone fixes the quality issue very quickly (Itunes 6.01?). If this person had time to make a "not as stupid as it is right now" interface for playing videos, that would make me happy again.
    If anyone can confirm if this is a Mac only, or Mac WIndows issue, I'd be glad to know.

    I do see a slight difference in quality between an .m4v file (purchased from the iTunes Music Store) when played in iTunes and QT player. If freezing at a specific frame, you can definitely notice the iTunes software seems to blur things and is less sharp (colors more dull, less pronounced).
    As far as the interface is concerned for viewing videos inside of iTunes, the only real concern I have is the performance. QT player resize/scrubbing is much more effective.

  • How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable?  Video looks great, just no sound.

    How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable?  Video looks great, just no sound.
    I've tried plugging the hdmi into the TV directly and the receiver.
    I get video every time.  HBO to Go , Xfinity, ABC, Youtube, etc...
    just no audio.  Any suggestions? 
    I've tried starting the apps then plugging in the hdmi cable.
    I never tried this before I upgraded to IOS 5.

    Claudiamil-
    I had not tried it with mine since upgrading to iOS 5, so I just did.  I'm using a small Vizio HDTV.  I did not try YouTube, but did try several videos and musical numbers.  In all cases there was sound, including stereo when the source had it.
    I assume you are getting sound from the iPad when the adapter is not connected, so the volume is not turned down.  Dah*veed's suggestion to reset may be what you need.

  • Help with exporting. Video looks horrible after export, but great when in premiere pro

    Hey guys, looking for some advice on exporting.
    When I finish a video, the color and everything looks great while in premiere pro, but after exporting it, the color ends up looking dull and the whole video looks blurry.  I'm filming with a canon vixia hf200 at 60i. It imports as a AVCHD file, I deinterlace it, and then export at the Vimeo HD settings. What can be causing the video to look horrible after exporting? What settings should I be exporting under? Any help would be appreciated!

    It looks like you're coming up against some of the colorspace handling issues that the Premiere pipeline has.
    Since your source is 60i AVCHD it's HD and thus rec709 colorspace. If it gets encoded with the standard rec601 colorspace (SD sizes are this) then all the colors get crushed. Look for a "709" and "601" radio button in your export settings. If it's not there you're out of luck.
    The "blurry" is probably a poor quality de-interlacer. If Vimeo permits interlaced vs progressive do that instead. it's always cleaner to stay in the same video format all the way through.
    TECHNICAL ASIDE:
    rec709 is a triangle of possible colors that can be expressed by mixing of ratios of 3 emitters (the R G B corners of the triangle). (they are the RGB phosphors of a CRT and now LCD pixel elements)
    rec709 is a bigger triangle than rec601 so it's capable of more colors. but if you accidently map that triangle's corners to the coordinates of rec601 it gets crushed.
    In photography the "sRGB" uses the rec709 triangle. A bigger triangle that that is "Adobe RGB". So if you work in Adobe RGB and export to sRGB without conversion the colors get crushed because sRGB in inside the triangle of "Adobe RGB".

  • ALL flash videos looks pixelated, win 7 or 8.1, ONLY with firefox

    Latest firefox version, latest adobe flash player.. Had cleaned cache and preferences of both Firefox and Flash Player.. two different machines with different hardwares and SOs, no luck!
    With Google Chrome all videos are ok. It's like the difference in this two images: http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/computer-chip-super-resolution-640x353.jpg
    Firefox's WEB images are GREAT but all videos looks pixelated as the left picture.. had compared the same video with Firefox and Chrome opened side-by-side.. :\

    Hardware acceleration ON of OFF didn't make any difference.. honestly I never saw anyone saying they see any difference switching it..
    Of course with a higher resolution (720 or 1080p) there's less pixelation, but with other browsers there ain't such issue..

  • Video looks fine in preview... goes mosaic, loses audio on DVD????

    I have 3 and 1/2 hours of video edited in FCP and burned on a dual-layer DVD with iDVD. The video looked good in FCP and looked fine in preview in iDVD. The DVD burned without any pop-up warnings of problems, BUT when I put it in to check it, it goes bad about 40 minutes from the end. The picture goes mosaic (it looks like a satellite picture losing signal - sorry I don't know the exact technical term) and the audio completely disappears. On the menu page if I forward to the last chapter the counter (minutes) keeps counting away but we never leave the menu page and I can't move to other chapters.
    There aren't any edits or transitions where the video goes bad. I've tried re-saving to QT and reburning with the same problem in the same place. Anybody have any ideas on what's causing this and how I resolve it?

    Hi
    Just thinking. Can iDVD 5 handle DL-DVDs OK ?
    I would.
    • Use iDVD'09
    • Pro-encoding Quality
    • from FCP - Export out as QT.mov file, NOT Selfcontained, NO QT-conversion.
    • Low free space on internal boot hard disk gives all kind of strange resulst

  • How to make the video looks greenish ?

    Hi there,
    Can I know how to make a video looks bit greenish ?
    Thanks

    Thanks Karsten,
    Can I know, if I have about 60 cuts on the timeline and I want all the 60 cuts to be greenish, how do I apply to all at one go (instead of having to do one by one for 60 times !) ?
    Thanks again
