Higher Quality Export

In iPhoto, you can export a slideshow to iDVD, or to a QuickTime file at a maximum resolution of 640x480.
I want to present a slideshow elsewhere on a Windows laptop, so I can't simply run it off iPhoto, so it seems logical to produce a video file that I can play back. Since the resolution the computer is capable of producing is far better than 640x480, it seems absolutely criminal to degrade the high quality of my pictures, but I see no alternative!
Does anyone have any suggestions they could offer? Maybe there's a way to get iPhoto to put out a better resolution?

Make your slideshow in an app like iMovie, PhotoToMovie or Final Cut Express. They all have a wider range of export options, and in conjunction with Quicktime Pro will do right up to HD.

High Quality Export for Youtube

What are the best settings to get a very high quality export to upload to youtube? I am using final cut pro 6, with anamorphic dv footage - i'd like the dimensions to be 854x480 to be widescreen unless i can push it the full 1280. i haven't been happy with my uploads and usually see some pixellation, esp. in dark areas. the file sizes are usually like 400mb for 3 min. or so. i use compressor sometimes. i have something special that needs to look good and any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

DV is always 720x480. Your 854x480 file is adjusted to display those 720 pixels in wide screen on a computer. DV pixels are not square. Computers only display square pixels. In this case, that's OK.
...unless i can push it the full 1280...
This will lose quality, you are spreading the 720 pixels over 1280.
For YouTube, upload either the original DV and let YT compress it or make a H.264 file in Compressor with the same pixel dimensions. Newer versions of Compressor have YouTube presets.

Adobe Premiere 7 video turns blurry / pixilated upon export. How do I get a high quality export?

Hello. I am editing a video in Adobe Elements 7.0. The footage is standard definition. I am ready to export the video, but when I do this the video comes out blurry or pixilated looking. The footage looks clear when I am actually editing it, but when I export it something goes wrong. I need one export in Flash (which will later be posted on the web) and one export as a Windows Media File or MPEG so it can be viewed internally on our office computers. I have played with copious settings, formats, compressions, etc. How do I export non-blurry, high quality, clear videos?
Thank you so much for your time and consideration. I really appreciate it.

Hi Mr. Hunt! Thank you so much for responding. I really appreciate it.
What is my project preset? That's a great question. My settings are:
General:
Editing Mode: DV NTSC
Timebase: 29.97 frames per second
Video:
Frame Size: 720 horizontal x 480 vertical
Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1/DV NTSC (0.9)
Fields: lower field first
Display format: 30fps drop frame timecode
Title Safe Area: 20% horizontal and vertical
Action safe: 10% horizontal and vertical
Capture:
Capture Format: HDV Capture (Footage/tape is SD, camera is HD, does this impact anything?)
Video Rendering:
Maximum bit depth - box is NOT checked
Previews:
File Format: DV NTSC
Compressor: DV NTSC
Color Depth: millions of colors
Optimize stills - box IS checked
Footage is shot on a Canon XHA1 Hi-def camera, but on standard definition tapes. Footage is shot drop frame.
Does that answer your question? If not, where would I go to find my presets?
I'll have to check out MS Windows Media Encoder.

How can I get a higher quality export from Imovie - QT & iDVD came out bad

The playback on my imovie came out corrupted but it transferred ok to Quick Time and I also burned a DVD but the quality is not very good. Any suggestions on how to get a better version. Please keep in mind that the imovie file is huge - 29Gig and the QT file compressed it down to 350Megs. The whole movie is running around 43 minutes. Any suggesstions are appreciated.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.6)

sorry, dogma, but you compressed your project by a
factor of 1:100, and complain quality... ? did you
use a preset of iM, or did you select any "Expert
Options"?
and hopefully, you didn't try to use that crunched
file for usage in iDVD??
store/save you project in your Movies Folder, launch
iDVD, select from the media bin your project - done.
last questions: is your project set as "mpeg4" or
"dv/NTSC"; did you import from miniDV (what iM is
made for...) or did you use any.. other formats?
happy holidays
Hi - Yep I did use the crunched version for the dvd and have tossed it. I am now transferring a new version from imovie to QT under the pre set of high quality. Since this is the first time I have done a movie I am not sure what settings I would use under expert options - suggestions? I would love to tranfer the imovie right to idvd but at the moment I only have 8G left on my Mac so this would likely be a problem. The movie was exported from a mini DV.

High quality export?

Hi,
I've been waiting for the GarageBand '11 update just to find out now that some instruments sound wildly different than what my iPad plays.
I had hoped the GarageBand import of iPad project files would be my way to get a version above the quality the iPad exports for AAC, but apparently for my songs it's sounding so different that I hate what I hear (as opposed to what I hear from the iPad itself)
Is there a good way to get high quality renderings of the single tracks out of GB for the iPad? I'm willing to record each track individually in real time, but what kind of connection would I use? Or is there a way to dig into the .band files created by the iPad and get prerendered tracks that the iPad creates when it "optimizes" the track?

Exporting project in high quality regarding format? & disc?

I have been editing my project in ProRes 422 in FCP 6.0.6. I plan on burning my disc in my MacBook Pro disk drive. What high quality exporting format should my project been in so I can play this disk on DVD players? And what DVD disc works best with my computer and
DVD players?

High quality or not, the only format that will play on DVD players reliably is the DVD format, which uses MPEG-2 video and either PCM or Dolby Digital audio, multiplexed then specially formatted into VOB files along with the disc instruction files so DVD players can read them.
You will need either iDVD, DVD Studio Pro, Toast or other DVD authoring/burning app to complete the DVD creation process. For best results, use Compressor for encoding the files and DVD Studio Pro for authoring.

iDVD encoding settings:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
Short version:
Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
That was for single-layer DVDs. Double these numbers for dual-layer DVDs.
Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

How do I export very high quality QT to be used for a DVD?

I have a QT video (800x339, about 67mb) - it's a trailer for a movie that my daughter's in and I'd like to make put it on DVD using Adobe Premiere Elements. Unfortunately, Premiere won't accept this particular QT format (I don't understand why, but I just get an error saying that 'format not supported') - I can import other QT files, however.
Anyway, Adobe's support pages suggest converting the QT file to another format - but I've tried everything I can think of, and I just get lousy quality. I've exported from QT Player Pro to DV and AVI, using the highest 'quality' settings, etc. Some of the files are 1.3gb or more, but they all are poor quality. Is there some codec that I need to get? I can re-export the movie as a QT file and it retains the high quality that it was originally recorded in. Help!

First, on the black bars. I do not want them at all. I cannnot post a screenshot now as
file attachments are turned off temporarily, but they are about 5% on either side. Totally unacceptable especially when in CS3 when exported to Encore there are NO black bars either visible in Encore or in the resulting DVD's
On the options and is the preset saved. I can close Encore and open it afresh and find the preset that I saved listed in the dropdown of presets with the name I saved it as and all the settings the way I want them.
On the issue of Transcode settings when selecting the resource... When I select the resource in the Project panel, or in the Timeline tab, the Transcode settings is greyed out. I have consulted the help screens and forums for various ways to change the transcode settings and none of the suggested ways work.
It looks like my CS4 install does not work the way yours does. I am about to completely unistall CS4 and CS3 and all other Adobe products and try a fresh reinstall to see if that works. Most likely I will simply reinstall CS#, since that works, and abandon CS4 for now as I am getting way behind on my work, and know I can finish with CS3. I have also heard form others that Sony Vegas is really solid and does not have all these weird bugs such as seen in CS4 and CS5, and is a much less bloated product and does the encodings faster. Since it is also less expensive, this seems too good to be true, but work a trial. So first rip every Adobe product off my PC and format the HD and start fress with JUST CS3 and get my work done. Then try Vegas to see if it is as good as my buddies say, if so bye bye Adobe!

How to Export High Quality Adobe Flash Professional CS6

Okay, here's the situation. I've created a series of separate files of animations using .PNG images, and JPGs. Each animation is less than 1 minute long - and are separate files.
I have tried exporting various ones, and have had absolutely no luck in getting anything resembling high quality. I mean the first animations made by humans were better quality than this.
It's utterly ridiculous how bad this program works.
Anyways...
I've tried altering the frame rate, dimensions of the document, different export files, different players to view, I've gone into the settings and made sure the highest quality option is selected, etc. I've combed the internet for weeks and have read EVERYTHING on the subject (not much!!). I've also watched every relevant youtube video and nothing has worked!
I am losing my mind over this.
I even tried opening the files in Premiere and exporting them and they look even worse! What the hell is going on??
The whole reason I began using Flash is because research led me to believe it was made for this purpose but it clearly can't do...anything.
Is there any solution? Or should I just look into a different program?

What Image Export Preset settings are you using? (See and edit these via "Aperture→Presets→Image Export".)
16-bit TIFF is the highest quality Image Format. If you are using JPEG, set the Image Quality slider all the way to the right ("12"). Make sure size is set to "Original Size". "DPI" has no bearing on image quality -- it is just a setting that some apps use to determine how big to display the image on the screen.

How to export a complex Keynote to high quality video for DVD?

I have had dozens of attempts to turn a complex Keynote into a high quality video.
Either they turn out disappointiingly way low res
or they are very choppy with half the transitions gone
or they Cannot make the video at all
HELP.
I need to turn this project in to my client today.

If you use the DVD export in Keynote 3 with a self playing movie, the quality will be fine...just don't trust what you see on your mac screen, play it on a DVD player to check the quality. I did a test a while back and it was only the pauses that looked bad.
Read about it here:
http://www.keynoteuser.com/news/?p=135
pay close attention to what I complain about...it's just the slide pauses, not the normal motion playback, which means selfplaying stuff looks pretty decent (though never as good as the original, but that's the fault of the DVD format, not Apple).

INDS CS6 - PDF Export at High Quality issues with Gradients.

Hi all,
We're noticing that on our PDF exports from our INDS instances we're seeing that gradients are showing up when the PDF is printed. You can visibly see the gradient lines. We have our INDS set for 'High Quality Print' and upon viewing the PDF in your browser it looks fine but when you print the PDF you can see the gradient lines.
We've exported the same IDML's directly from InDesign to PDF to Print and the gradients do not show up.
Is there a ExportPDF option we are missing on the InDesign Server that I need to tweak to make these gradients smooth and disappear?

Marvin,
The TIF file in this example consists of a repeating sequence of adjacent columns in the following configuration: 8 white pixel, 7 black pixels.
This pattern repeats across the width of the file.
I've attached one of these files below. Please try to view it at 4000% when placed in InDesign.
(Please note that this problem also occurs with photographic images as well).
If I then crop the attached file in Photoshop, re-save and place in InDesign it will preview correctly at 4000%.
If I leave it at its original dimensions, but convert to a Gray TIF, it will preview correctly -for a while, but eventually also become "corrupted". As I mentioned in my initial post, I've had to use a Grey TIF to get the placement correct, then replace with the CMYK TIF version. Saving with and without LZW compression makes no difference. The fact that the Grey version works temporarily has got me confused. As it happens, for the moment anyway, a narrow width file in CMYK is previewing okay, but then in the past I've used TIFs just ~100 mm wide and had the same problem.
