High Definition Video playback in Keynote?

Can Keynote play back High Definition Video?
I'm not a video guy at all, so I'm not really sure of what precisely constitutes an "HD Video" file, but I do recall being given some Quicktime files a while back that were larger in file size, screen size and better resolution. These, I was told, were "HD."
Anyway, a client is asking if Keynote supports HD, and I'm at a loss...
- Nolan

I ran into the same problem. I had some picturess that had great detail. I put them into iMovie to get the "Ken Burns" effect, but when I shared them and used them in KN the lost their detail. I called Apple and the tech told me how to get HD images into KN.
In iMovie there are many options as to size and resolution when you use share. I think that I have used HD images stright from Photoshop to KN also. Hope this might help, somewhat late.

HD (High Definition) Video playback stutters and there is lag

When I play HD content on my Macbook the video stutters alot, although the audio is fine. Thus I basically cannot watch HD movies.
Any ideas how to solve this. I've closed all other programs when I'm playing the movie, and I'm not running off the battery.

YouTube playback is going to be limited by your internet connection speed more than anything else, so I wouldn't use that as any test for HD playback. Besides, YouTube is running on Adobe's Flash technology which is notorious for its poor performance.
You say you are having problems even with .m4v files but where did those files come from? Can you try the Disney video clip ("Earth" HD 1080p preview) I mentioned earlier since I know that it works well on my MacBook. If you are playing files that have been encoded by just any user with just any third-party tool then I'm not certain that you can use those as a test either (since some files that you will find on the internet will be encoded, well, just badly).
As for Spaces and Exposé the relative performance with those tools can be affected by a lot of factors, some completely "normal" (i.e. I wouldn't expect their operation to always be smooth).
Have you tried running with _all_ peripherals disconnected and with networking/WiFi/Bluetooth disabled?
Have you confirmed that you don't have a memory or disk "hog" that is running in the background? How about checking for any high-CPU loads that are running in the background? Have you used Apple's Activity Monitor in the show "All Processes" mode (with a sort on % CPU)?
Here is what I see in Activity Monitor while viewing the "Earth" HD preview in the QuickTime Player on my 2.0GHz MacBook (with only the QuickTime Player and Activity Monitor applications running):
Activity Monitor: All Processes Sorted by % CPU
QuickTime Player     27.6 (% CPU)
WindowServer            6.2
Activity Monitor         5.9
pmTool                      2.9
kernel_task                 1.9
Finder                         0.0
<and many more all running at 0.0>
These numbers (% CPU) will fluctuate but generally you should only see QuickTime Player, WindowServer, and Activity Monitor running at more than a few percent. You may see _very_ brief spikes from some other processes but these should be rare and very short. In particular for the "Earth" HD 1080p preview you should see the QuickTime Player at the top of the list and generally running in the mid to upper twenty percent range (% CPU).
Here is the System Memory data from Activity Monitor (this was taken immediately after a restart of my MacBook but while playing the HD video in QuickTime Player):
Free 1.3GB  (this will vary with the amount of installed memory, my MacBook has 2GB SDRAM)
Wired: 162MB
Active: 255MB
Inactive: 9MB
Used: 426MB
VM Size: 30GB
Page ins: 85MB
Page outs: 0 bytes
Swap used: 0 bytes
Once again, these numbers will vary so don't expect an exact match to what you will see. However, the only figures that I would think would vary by much are the VM Size and the Free memory if you have more than 2GB installed in your MacBook. This also assumes that you've done a restart immediately before you play the video in the QuickTime Player. By the way, have you installed any third-party memory in your MacBook? You seem to have 4GB, is that all Apple installed or did you upgrade it yourself?
Under Activity Monitor's Disk Activity you will see a lot of variation (up and down in the Data read/sec) while the movie is playing but generally you should stay in the low, single-digit MB/sec range (e.g. 2.1MB/sec). The range will go from only a few hundred KB/sec to maybe (rarely) up to something like 6MB/sec. However, Data write/sec should be very low on average (actually around zero).
Next download the AJA System Test application and check your hard drive performance (it's a free download from http://www.aja.com/products/software/ ). When running the AJA benchmark you should be seeing transfer rates that are consistently and steadily in the 40 to 50MB/sec range. AJA System Test allows you to watch the transfer rates in a graph so you can look for unexpected "stalls" in the hard disk access and transfer rates. To test for long period transfers increase the File Size option to something over 1GB. You may want to run this test several times while you have nothing else running on your MacBook. You may see a few brief but significant drops in the I/O Transactions rate but generally both the read and write rates should stay quite close to 50MB/s. If you don't see numbers like I've noted above then you may have a hard drive issue (either hardware or software or some background task that is using your disk even when you don't know it).
After all the above checks if you are still seeing obvious stutters while playing the "Earth" HD preview then I suspect that you either have a hardware problem or have some third-party software installed that is causing playback problems. This assumes, however, that you have tried all of the troubleshooting steps that I've outlined before (such as disconnecting all peripherals and turning off WiFi and Bluetooth).

Important quality loss in high definition video in Premiere

Hello
I'm working in a series of high definition clips in Premiere CS4, and I noticed a great loss of quality of the videos after rendering, even without applying any filter or special effect.
All of the videos were captured from a Sony HD camcorder in M2T format through HDVSplit. The M2T videos are perfect, with clear and crystalline images, typical of a HD clip.
However, after rendering in Premiere using the MPEG2 Blu-Ray HDTV 1080i or HDTV 720p format with all of the settings in high quality, the resulting video is disappointing, in no way resembling a high definition video. The same occurs using H.264 Blu-ray format, also with all the settings in "high".
The quality of the video is well below the expected, both in 1080i and 720p.
I didn't use any filter in the edition, just trim, simple transitions and some legends. The resulting video shows a significant loss of quality and definition, which resembles more a trivial SD DVD than a video that was totally recorded in high definition.
I believe that it is a codec problem, but I would like to know if somebody already observed this issue, and if some special adjustment or setting exist that I'm missing.
Any contribution is welcome
Thanks
Valter-Brazil

Do you mean rendering the timeline for playback, or rendering the video with a preset for output? You can start by making sure the quality setting in the program monitor is set to highest quality, not draft, or automatic. You can also check the Maximize Render Quality option. See the following taken from Adobe's website:
Maximum Render Quality option
You can improve rendering of motion, improve deinterlacing, and improve scaling of video. Select Maximum Render Quality in your sequence settings or Use Maximum Render Quality in your export settings.
If the resulting video from an export from Premiere is low in quality, then you need to adjust the bitrate settings, or resolution settings.

Why isn't my high definition video converting to standard definition?

What I'm describing here, I've successfully accomplished many, many times using Premiere Pro CS5 and now Premiere Pro CS6. Now, for the first time ever, it's not working and I'm completely baffled. (This is a high-end Windows 7 64-Bit machine with 16GB RAM running Premiere Pro CS6.)
Here's a basic summary of my workflow. Nothing out of the ordinary here.
1. I shoot my video using a high definition camcorder (the same one I've been working with for the past year or two.
2. I import my high definition video into a 1920x1080 sequence in Premiere Pro CS6.
3. I edit my sequence until I'm happy.
4. I enter and name my Encore chapter markers in the sequence.
5. I create my Encore project and import the sequence as a timeline and set up my menus and such.
6. I build my Encore project, first into a standard definition DVD image file (so I can later burn SD-DVDs) and then build it again into a high definition Blu-ray image file (so I can later burn Blu-rays).
The Blu-ray burn is turning out just fine.
But the video in the DVD burn is all black. I can jump around from chapter to chapter and I can hear the sound, but the video doesn't show up!
I tried this a couple times thinking that maybe Encore just messed up the SD-DVD creation process but I got the same result each time. When I preview the project in Encore, it all looks just right.
So I figured, okay, something's not working when I import the sequence.
I went back to Premiere Pro thinking I'd just export my 1920x1080 sequence into a widescreen standard definition AVI and create a new sequence just for the standard definition DVD.
The exported AVI is black as well!!
I don't get it. Why on earth won't my high definition video convert properly to standard definition?
The high definition sequence looks completely normal in Premiere Pro. What could I possibly be overlooking??
One final note. Just as another test, I copied and pasted the sequence in Premier Pro, truncated it to a couple minutes (the full sequence is 90 minutes long), and exported to a widescreen AVI again.
It just finished, I tried playing it back in Windows, and it, too, is all black, sound but no video.
Like I said, this is nothing new for me. I've done it countless times with other projects. I could really use some assistance with this one.

So I exported my completed high definition sequence to an MP4 and re-imported back into Premiere Pro. Right-clicked it and created a sequence from the clip. Then I imported my chapters from the old sequence into the new one.
I returned to Encore, modified my project to work off the newly created sequence (what a pain having to recreate all the scene links) and voila, it had no trouble making a DVD this time.
So I guess I'll get out of the bad habit of my old routine and create a sequence the "right" way from now on. Funny how we get used to doing something one way and stop thinking outside the box after a while.
Jim, I don't see how that's necessary. As long as I create an Encore project based on a good high definition sequence, I have never had to do anything other than have Encore build a standard definition DVD based on the high definition sequences. It has always done the conversion for me and produced really good DVDs. Once I create a DVD image that I'm satisfied with, I simply have Encore build a Blu-ray image using the exact same project, and that works perfectly as well. I suppose I may be missing something here but it all works and works well, so I don't see a reason to create two projects when one works well.
On a separate note, is it just me or doesn't everybody think it's high time that Adobe offer a feature to import markers from one sequence into another. I can do it automatically but I have to use a macro that I created separate and apart from Premiere Pro. For that matter, I think Encore should also offer a feature to remap all scene links to a new sequence instead of forcing me to fix them one by one myself.
Anyway, thanks to all of you for pointing me in the right direction!

High Definition Video on MacBook Pro 13.3"

Hey guys...can't seem to find the answer, despite my best efforts. Can my MB Pro (bought brand new a week ago) appropriately display High Definition Video? In all it's glory? I have a HD copy of the movie Up, and it looks gorgeous, but I haven't been able to find any documentation or reliable info that states without a doubt whether or not its a feature of the machine I bought. Thanks!

I understand the concept that the Macbook Pro's with anything less than the 17" screen cannot display the full HD screen. However what if in my case it is connected to an external monitor. Is there a way to display High Definition thru the laptop onto my 32" TV, or does this still require the use of the 17" MacBook Pro?

Will QT Pro Capture High Definition Video?

Does QuickTime Pro have the ability to capture high definition video? I have tried to do this with a Canon HV10 camcorder, but have not had any luck. I have been able to capture the video using iMovie HD 6.
Thanks
Kurt

Does QuickTime Pro have the ability to capture high definition video?No.

No Application for High Definition Video?

Hi Everyone,
Sorry for being in the wrong section, but I have a new camera with a high definition video and after importing the video I cannot play it as there is no application for it? The camera is a Panasonic Lumix. I have tried using VLC but to no avail.
Many thank in advance!
Vonnie

DVD Player (Applications folder.) DivX, a third-party player may also work. I'm sure you can find others at VersionTracker or MacUpdate. iMovie HD which is part of iLife.

Capturing High Definition Video

When importing high definition video into iMovie HD 6 the last 1.5 to 2 minutes of my movie were not captured. When importing HD video the capture speed is less than real time and thus the video that is running on the camera is ahead of what you see on the computer. I stopped the camera - NOT the import - at the point in time where the camera reached the end of the footage I wanted to import. At this point in time iMovie displays a message indicating that is continuing to cache (import) the rest of the movie - which it did. If you stop the the IMPORT - then my understanding is that the video captured will be essentially stopped at the point you see on the screen.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Kurt

Maybe you should try using the Scene-Detection Feature in imovie.

High Definition video requires 1GHz G4 or faster...

iMovie HD 6.0.2 (267)
High Definition video requires 1GHz G4 or faster...
It was not evident that I could not use iMovie 6.0.2 on my TiBook. I don't care about HD, I just want to play around with iMovie. I've lost my initial Install disks after upgrading.
I purchased iLife to be able to just play with iMovie.
I can create a project and import video, not images...The buttons don't work. Pull down menus do. Can't drag clips to timeline...
Did I just waste $80.00?
867 MHz PowerPC G4 TiBook Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1 MB L3 cache, 1 GB SDRAM

Did I just waste $80.00?
No, it's probably not wasted...
So while your Mac may not be able to edit HDV it can
edit the "normal" video recorded by most camcorders.
In other words, iMovie HD can do all the stuff old
versions do, but it can do HDV too.
I actually don't even have a camcorder. I just wanted to import .mov files, etc.
There might be some other problem. Here's some topics

High definition video with Geforce FX 5200 ?

hey guys,
can some body tell me if my MSI Geforce FX 5200 T128 is capable of high definition video e.g stretching small video window to full screen, in this mode you see bad video quality is there any solution ?

this is not a vga issue. if u get a video with 720x480 resolution and strength it, surely it will lose quality. for maximum resolution of windows, check the monitor and vga card´s manual for specifications.

Viewing High Definition Videos

iMac 20 inch 2 GHZ
Is it worth paying extra to rent high definition videos vs. standard definition to view on my iMacs 20 inch screen. Is there a noticeable difference in viewing quality? I usually watch videos from about 8 feet away.

Thank you for taking the time to respond.
However, I did not mean to ask if the iMac was capable of playing high definition videos comfortably.
I meant to get opinions on whether high definition videos from iTunes are suppose to look noticeably better than standard definition videos on the iMacs 20 inch screen at a distance about 8 feet. I am thinking that the difference in quality is not noticeable because of the size of the screen and viewing distance.
I rented an HD version of the new James Bond flick and can't see much of a difference in quality between it and a standard definition video of The Office. I don't know if it is just because I am not a videophile or because of the size of the screen and viewing distance? I realize that tells me if it is worth paying extra, but I still would like to know your opinions on the difference in quality that you see.
I apologize for the confusion.

Playback trouble with *.m2ts high-definition video files

I just bought a new high-definition camcorder and downloaded files to my PC (Lenovo 3000 V200, 4GB RAM, CPU is 2GHz), but they playback in a choppy manner. Anybody have any ideas?
Could it be that my processor is too slow? If so, can I upgrade my processor?

I ran into the same problem. I had some picturess that had great detail. I put them into iMovie to get the "Ken Burns" effect, but when I shared them and used them in KN the lost their detail. I called Apple and the tech told me how to get HD images into KN.
In iMovie there are many options as to size and resolution when you use share. I think that I have used HD images stright from Photoshop to KN also. Hope this might help, somewhat late.

Hauppauge High Definition Video Capture

Does anyone have experience of the "Hauppauge HD PVR USB Hi-def H.264 Video Capture Device,high Definition USB 2.0 Video Capture With Hardware H.264 Video Encoders"?
If so what do you think of it?
Leaving aside PVR (it isn't in my opinion as it needs to be connected to a PC for recording) and the over emphasis on recording gaming sessions it sounds as though it might be a handy High Definition equivalent of the Canopus ADVC analogue to digital converter range.
Cheers,
Neale
Insanity is hereditary, you get it from your children

Neale,
I have never used one, nor have I read many articles from those, who have used it. The exception has been some users, who have had issues with Hauppage capture cards, but I do not know of any, who used this device.
Good luck, and wish that I could help, but will follow the thread, in hopes of learning something new.

High Definition Video

Forum,
I have posted a similar question before but can not find the post,please forgive me.
I have bought a Sony high definition camcorder model HDR-HC9E 1080/50i.
If I record in HD format can I use that format to produce a HD video if I do not have a HD burner and player.?
To put it another way is there any benefit in recording HD if I do not have the HD burner and player kit.
There seems little doubt it will have to be Sony "BLU RAY, but I am quite relaxed about that.
I thank the forum again.
Michael Craven.

+is there any benefit in recording HD if I do not have the HD burner and player kit.+
Michael,
the higher is the resolution of the original format the better it will look even on a SD DVD.
Test it. Compare a SD DVD created from a DV project to a SD DVD from an HD.
Best,
G.
