Hdv footage looks blurred when slow motion added

help?

HDV falls apart in motion sequences faster than other codecs; go into your sequence presets and make sure the "Motion Estimation" is set to "best" not "normal". This should take care of the problem, but it will also mean longer render times for your sequences.

Camileo S30 - zoom is ON when Slow Motion is active

Hi,
I've bought a Camileo S30, and im facing some problems like:
when I active the slow motion system, my camera put all the zoom on, and then I can take or move the zoom.
Another problem is, the photos never come focused every time
I take a picture my photos never come right.

Hi
The slow motion seems to be available only in video record mode and if this mode is activated the video resolution would be set to 320x240.
This is QVGA resolution.
Furthermore the stabilization, motion detect, time lapse and slow motion cannot be used simultaneously.

Why does font looks pixelated when exporting motion template to FCP?

I created a motion template for some text animations and I also tried with just a motion file and when I added either one to FCP it just looks like crap (pixelated edges, really really bad edges)
I noticed this happens if you don't have a drop shadow or a glow selected on the fonts
is there a way to solve this?

Text looks blurred when played!

Hey people, just a quickie (i hope).
I have a green (Matte) background with Blue text ontop. its a section lasting 7 seconds. When the playhead is stopped on any part of the section it looks crystal clear and exactly how I want it. However when I play it it loses focus and becomes slightly blurred!
I have tweaked the text and matte controls but it doesn't help much.
Just wondering if this is normal? Does it look fine on TV/DVD playback? Is it a RAM issue?
Thanks
Al

If it snaps into focus on pause then all is well.
The computer may not be able to display things at best quality and it sacrifices clarity to keep up frame rate during playback.
The best display option is an interlaced TV/Monitor to judge your final output rather than the computers non-interlaced monitor.

HT2905 I have lost all my play lists from my itumes library, and all of a sudden i have 2/3/4 duplicates of the same song. when i look at when they were added it says all added on 11th March 2013! i added most of them years ago. please help?!!

All my plat list have vanished, and all of my library has been duplicated and triplicated and some have 4 copies. i looked to try and delete the copied ones and tried to delete by putting on when they had been added. the date came up 11th march 2013 for ALL of the songs!. my library is at least 4 years old, and i constantly add songs. so why would it come up that date? and why have all my play list dissapeared?(I think also on that date) please help?

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any real-time scanning process.
Reverting to an earlier version of your library may clean up the duplicates issue along with restoring the original date added values. If you still have real duplicates I have a tool that might be able to help...

Illustrator vector files look blurred when zoomed on in in AE

I just have text from a illustrator file, imported in to after after effects. When I scale the text, the quality isn't affect, but when i zoom in, the text is blurred, I have the continuously rasterize box clicked, and it's still blurred.
How can I fix this problem? Thanks

> I mean when I scale the text up it doesn't get affected, just when I zoom.
That's not actually a problem. That's normal. When you scale a layer with continuous rasterization, the vector information is converted into a new set of pixels to make things sharp. When you just zoom in a preview, you're not actually changing any pixels in the composition; you're just zooming in on the existing pixels for a closer look.
from After Effects Help:
"Note: After Effects renders vector objects before zooming (scaling for preview), so some vector objects may appear jagged when you zoom in on them. This apparent pixelation for zooms does not affect scaling of layers or rendering to final output. "

Footage looks corrupt when imported into After Effects

Hi folks,
My usual workflow involves starting an edit in FCP and exporting sections that I want to add something to in AE, rendering them out and importing back in to FCP.
I have recently got a Sony EX3 and have run into a problem after the first shoot:
When bringing a clip in to AE from FCP, I start a new comp and it looks fine - but scrub forward a little and the clip is mostly green. It's like artifacts that take up the vast majority of the comp. Often there are a few squares which are not green (I've attached an image of this). After that it's basically fully green, with some of the image barely visible, like some sort of find edges effect.
Footage SEEMS to be fine if I drag in the .mov files (before FCP), but I am exporting Quicktimes from FCP using the same settings and codec..
Can anyone help me out? I can provide more info if I'm not being clear..
Thanks
Mike Chalmers

Yeah, and you are using FCP 12 and AE CS 8000... See my point? Without telling us exactly what versions of the programs, what CoDecs and Export settings you are actually using, your post is not making too much sense. There could be any number of things at work here, some of which are known like issues with ProRes or Quicktime in general, but if that's not it, without more info we won't be able to unriddle this.

How to avoid or get rid of digital 'banding' when slow motion is used.

how can i avoid or get rid of those ugly digital 'bandings' when i slow down a hd video?
thx
pieter

Hi ..
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > Safari then tap to clear History, Cookies, and Data then restart your iPhone.
No data is lost due to a reset.

Text looks blur when I export to quicktime

In my FCP timeline I have a DV-PAL clip, captured with my sony PD-170 cam. When I put a text from photoshop on the video and I export it in quicktime, it looses it's sharpness. When I use quicktime conversion, highest preset, the text looks good but I get horizontal lines in my video.
I tried two types of photoshop files:
-PNG, RGB, 72dpi, 24 bits.
-Targa, RGB, 72dpi, 32 bits.
Sequence settings:
720 x 576 CCIR 601/DV PAl (5:4)
field dominance: Lower
video processing: tried RGB, YUV and High YUV
I tried deinterlacing only the video, only the text, both deinterlaced and nothing deinterlaced. No difference.
I have the latest versions of leopard and the production suite. I used CS2.
P.S: Here on the office everybody has a mac. There are Imacs and powermacs g5. on every mac the file looks the same except for 1. Sombody has a powerbook one version later than mine. ii is not the newest but the 2,4 with a better videocard than mine. The same file looks great on his mac.
Can someone help me, I am going crazy. Thanks

Barter
DV codec is interlaced by nature, and you are seeing the interlacing lines. If your video is just for web, duplicate your sequence (as backup) and change the Sequence settings to Field Dominance: None to make your sequence progressive.
Try exporting and check it.
Hope that helps !

Slow Motion with Full HD footage

Can anyone help?
I am using full HD footage 1080p 25fps, and when I slow the footage down It gives me the shutter look, not smooth slow motion!
Luke

Try Frame Blending and also try different percentages... example...35%, 45%, 50%
Depending on what shutter speed you were shooting can make a difference.
For best 50% slow motion you can shoot with a Shutter of 120. (If working with 60i)

Possible to convert video footage to slow motion?

Long story but I'm filming a short video in the style of the Intel TV ads (link below). Is there a way of converting footage I shoot into slow motion?
Have read discussion threads for other versions of iMovie, but not '08.
Thanks for any advice.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqLPHrCQr2I

Yes. This feature is built in to iMovie 09, but for iMovie 08, you must pre-process with an external app such as JES DeInterlacer.
If you do a search of this discussion, you will find some posts that link to Karsten Schluter's web site where he gives detailed instructions.

Compression question: HD footage looks streaky

hello all. I'm having a problem putting HD 1080i PAL footage onto an NTSC SD DVD. The best result I've had so far is with Compressor's HD-DVD-MPEG2-30-minute settings. But still there is streaking. The footage degenerates into horizontal bars when there is significant camera motion. (the same footage looks fine when viewed in final cut.)
I assume this is an interlacing issue. Any idea on fixing it? Does it matter if I convert to NTSC in Compressor or in DVD Studio pro?

Hi Mike,
When you initially drop the HD clip into the SD sequence, are you seeing the whole image in the frame, or just a blown up middle part? If you are enabling "Auto Scale to Frame Size" in Preferences, or manually on the clip BEFORE scaling, this could be the issue. Right-click on the clip and make sure "Scale to Frame" is off, then scale using Motion effect to suit your needs. This way, you are starting out with all the HD pixels available, so when you scale up, the picture should remain sharp as you are viewing a subset of the larger HD image in your SD "window".
Looking at your sample images again, I think that is the case - it is being scaled down to SD, then blown up again using Scale, and that is where the loss is coming from.

Slow motion playback

I have a unusual question compared to some of them I have seen here, but here it goes:
My mother is a college basketball coach and needs to get some upgraded video equipment for use with recording games, practices and camps. They currently use VHS and then are able to tape and then playback the recording for the players right away. They have something called a "cowboy remote" that allows them to freeze frame, go slow motion both backwards and forwards to analyze plays and drills, as well as the player's shots and movements.
Will Final Cut allow them to do these things if they were to purchase it for their iMac or is it just a matter of finding a DVD player that will do these things on playback?
Is there a particular type of camera that would be needed in this situation?
Thanks.

Yes, you can both view the footage within FCE in slow motion and edit it so that it always plays that way. If you edit it so that the actual clip is played in slow motion (and you're not just viewing it at a reduced speed) then it will also play that way when burned to a DVD.
Keep in mind that FCE has a relatively steep learning curve as well. Training books or internet tutorials are definitely recommended.

My footage looks posterized in FCP playback

im using FCP 7 and have downloaded all the latest software updates.
my footage looks normal when i play it back on my video camera, it's normal when i watch it on quicktime, and even when i export it as a quicktime from FCP. it's also normal when capturing to my computer using the 'log and transfer' window. but when i play/preview the clips from the timeline or directly from the browser window, the footage looks distorted and posterized.
ive tried talking to apple support, ive re-loaded the program, ive tried the program with a different user account, ive trashed preferences and reloaded again... but the footage still looks posterized on FCP.
when i change the view settings, the footage looks normal on the R channel, the G channel and B channel, and even on the RGB + alpha channel, but when i view it using the RGB channel, it looks posterized, making it quite difficult to edit and colour-grade.
any suggestions on how i can fix this problem?

ok, so i dont know what i did. but after checking my colour settings in my system preferences (which i didnt change), FCP has decided to magically work! the footage is playing back normally now. yay!
i really dont know what i did to fix this problem, but it all appears to be fine now. thanks for your help!
