Horizontal Lines in saved AVI preview file

Hi all,
On another thread I was asking why I was getting an error message when trying to export and save a movie, but now I was able to get a temp AVI file after hitting enter and saving a preview file, but this AVI preview file, which is normally of the same quality of the full saved file I think, has horizontal lines in it that are very obvious compared to the original file... below are the sample still screenshots to compare...
                                                Clean original 720x480 30 fps AVI file
               Horizontal lines showing in this Premiere 720x480 30 fps AVI preview file
I have a file imported in to the timeline and it is set to play in  reverse via the speed setting being set to -100 and it plays back in the  preview window correctly, in reverse, when I click the play button.
But when I do a  "File>Export Timeline>Movie" command I get an error message saying "An error occurred while making the movie. Error writing file (disk full?)"...  but my hard drive is not nearly full, with over 30 gigs left open on  it... and my RAM usage gadget shows over half of my RAM capacity is  unused.
But I got a temp preview file that was generated after hitting enter to play the preview after I wasn't able to save, and that's how I got this file... and I think the temp files are normally just as sharp as the final saved files because they take just as long to generate when previewing by hitting enter as they do when doing and export and save.
Also, this process saved an 8.5 gigabyte AVI file from a 1.5 megabyte AVI file using the CamStudio codec.
Another try using the MSU lossless codec produced a 3.5 gigabyte AVI file that looked better, but wouldn't play any faster than about one frame per second after an hour and a half of saving time.
Does anyone have any solutions?... also I see that the new file from Premiere shows a larger screen size, though it was saved at the same 720x480 size as the original was.
Thanks,

Yes, that's what I started with, but it wouldn't render a working file  of reversed video for anything over 2 minutes or so... so that's when I  started trying everything else in the world... including these ridiculous attempts and resulting problems with Premiere trying to handle the complex task of saving a video file correctly.
If Apple can make a simple "REVERSE" button in its user friendly iMovie app, why can't anyone else?
Originally there was Xander's Video Time Reversal, that worked for me  before and still works for some files, but just won't work on other  slightly longer files and produces blank or unusable files 75 percent of  the time, and Xander's French forum admin committee was asleep at the  wheel while I waited for approval to ask a question.
Then there was "Rehan's" method of using two different apps (VirtualDub and Avisynth) and writing AVS script files in notepad... compared to this, it may be easier to have the desired video clip re-enacted in reverse with professional actors and a special effects team than it would be to use Rehan's method.
Then there is Stupeflix.com, which seems to be all the name implies since they were bragging about a webpage with an upload button to upload a clip to, and then a download button to get the reversed clip from... but the link for this magic page is nowhere to be found in the conversation on the blog site that was talking about it, and Stupeflix.com itself currently shows no feature of the kind.
Then finally at the long awaited end of this of my odyssey, after Premiere and before going back to XVTR, there was "K-5 Video Reversal Tool" and after reading the description about the needed codec pack and deciphering which download button is actually for the Video Reversal Tool and not one of those trick "Download Here" buttons that takes me to a virus laden site in Siberia, I did find a download link for it that is from Cnet.com... but then that app didn't work at all, even for very short, uncompressed AVI files, which it was supposed to handle with no problem... but it would flash a command prompt screen for a quarter second, then give a message stating that it produced the reversed file... which of course, it did not.  And the guy that coded this gem has a chat thing on his K-5 website that he keeps responding to my original question about and he just can't admit that the app doesn't work.
I feel like... I've wasted a day and a half... now two days after writing so much.
Thanks,

  • Unwanted Horizontal lines in PDF (print to file)

    From any other program, printing to Adobe PDF produces a pdf file that contains unwanted horizontal lines, oddly spaced, on entire page. Have tried multiple settings/configs and am unable to stop this annoying behavior. Any tips are appreciated.

    Me too! Just yesterday, Aug. 4!
    I get horizontal lines about 0.4 inches apart on the prints, but no lines on the PDF on the monitor. They just show up on the print.
    It happened the day I ran malware and virus scans in the morning.
    It only affects prints from PDFs created by SolidWorks.  WORD documents print fine.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled my HP printer software.
    I did the repair for Adobe reader 9.3.3
    I even changed my ink cartridges that were low.
    What else can I try?
    What caused this? Is it because our names are Paul?
    I tried to contact Adobe without spending $39, but was unsuccessful. I thought maybe they would like to know about problems. Is the forum the only way to do that?

  • Horizontal lines in any exported video file type in Elements 9

    I have switched from Elements 4 to Elements 9 for my video production, and I have not been able to get rid of the horizontal lines in ANY file type or with any setting.  I have tried everything I've read so far on these forums.
    A lot of comments say that exporting to WMV is the problem, but I export hundreds of videos to WMV with Elements 4 on my 32-bit XP computer.
    Whether in 32-bit XP or on my new super powerful 64-bit Windows 7 computer, Elements 9 renders lines with motion. The screen shot shows a typical example.  Butterflies as flying lines, and the edge of a tree, as I panned, has a shadow along it made of many lines.

    I said in the last sentence of the last post that I only get the red line if I add an effect or transition, just as you predicted.
    I brought up the older camera because Elements 4.0 and my XP computer handled every bit of DV or HDV footage from that older camera, while Elements 9 on the XP computer and my new super computer won't handle ANY footage properly if it contains rapid movement.
    I make videos to use on local computers and to be viewed over the internet.  I use the WMV Lan setting when I export.  It worked perfectly with 4.0.
    Now, this is exactly where I see all attempts in other forums going astray--the assumption that WMVs may be the problem inherently.  I have processed hundreds of WMVs with 4.0 and they look great at any viewing size on the screen and on a local computer or viewed over the internet. 4.0 has worked perfectly for this.  I'm stumped!
    This combing appeared in a Flash video I made yesterday.  I sure appreciate the time you put into helping us deperate people.

  • Trouble in the colour of line when saving a AI file into PDF format

How are you determining the colour of the line after saving? What is the Document Color Mode (File menu) Of the Illustrator file to begin with? If saving as a PDF what preset are you using?

  • "Use Preview Files" works in CS5.5 but is "Useless" in CS6

    I'm a heavy user of the "Use Previews Files" option when exporting files. This has worked great with Premiere CS5.5 but using the same method in CS6 no longer works and reverts back to rerendering the original files in the timeline and rerendering all the effects on them which is very time consuming since the original files are HD and are being downscaled in a DV widescreen timeline.
    Anyone figure out how to get Premiere CS6 to correctly find the preview files when exporting using the "Use Preview Files" option?
    In the meantime, I had to load all the preview files I had rendered back into a new timeline and reassemble them in the correct order. Once I did that, I exported this 1 hour 38 minute timeline to an MPEG-2 file which only took 19 minutes instead of the 7 hours it would have taken even with the "Use Preview Files" on and with a fully rendered timeline.
    Again, it works great in CS5.5 so something changed in CS6 to make the "Use Preview Files" useless now.
    Randy

    OK, decided to do a simple project and test the preview files. One HD AVCHD video clip, 24 minutes long. Dropped into a DV widescreen project and the video clip downscaled to match the project. Added a color correction filter, Shadow/Highlight filter and Sharpen filter. Cut the clip into 4 pieces and adjusted the color correction on each. This will generate 4 preview files. This is basically what my larger project involve but with many more video clips.
    Did not render timeline or make any preview files then exported an MPEG-2 file. Took 35 minutes.
    Rendered timeline which produced 4 preview files in the DV AVI format. Took 1 hour.
    Exported an MPEG-2 file again but this time selected "Use Preview Files". Took 35 minutes.
    Exported a DV AVI file (same format as the Preview files) but this time selected "Use Preview Files". Took 35 minutes.
    Imported the 4 DV AVI preview files and put into a new sequence. Exported an MPEG-2 file using no preview files. Took 3 minutes.
    Imported the 4 DV AVI preview files and put into a new sequence. Exported a DV AVI file using no preview files. Took 1 minute 30 seconds.

  • Thin Horizontal Lines visible within PDF file after OCR run

    I print to PDF(Acrobat 9.1 Pro), from an imaging application where the images are stored and managed as 300dpi TIFF(Group 4) B&W.
    The PDF file is produced with no issues.  At this time I run the OCR process to capture the type written data.  As the OCR process works it's way throught the file, the PDF is re-written with both OCR data and thin black horizontal lines every 2/3 of a inch down the page.
    These lines will be saved with the file and print out.
    How do I eliminate these lines?

    I had this problem too.  I'm using Acrobat Pro 9.4 and after OCRing a doc it had horizontal lines running across the page.  We were able to fix it by first Optimizing the document and then OCRing it.
    Document > Optimize Scanned PDF
    When finished, Document > OCR Text Recognition > Recognize text using OCR
    Hope this helps

  • The photo book review pdf file is fully smudged and there are many horizontal lines all over the pictures. the book looks absolutely ok , but the pdf is showing all problems. also when i uploaded the book, it was successful, but got an error message later

    I created a book on I photo and uploaded it yesterday. it was all ok and the order was accepted. However i got an error message today. The book looks perfect on I Photo, when i do a preview, the PDF file is totally smudged and there are 100s of horizontal lines all over the photos. Also the coloures are bleeding all over.
    what can be the case and how can i resolve this.
    samir

    if the book looks good order while in safe mode - then reboot into normal mode
    Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
    Apple will stand behind the order if it does not match your preview

  • Using  Adobe Premiere CS3 (ver. 3.2) with Microsoft AVI DV files (4:3, 48Khz) on timeline now ask render (red line) and before didnt.Proyect is DV NTSC standard 48Khz. What it could be?

    Hi,
    Normally during months the edition was done with Microsoft AVI DV Files (4:3 NTSC 48 Khz). No effects (just cuts). Proyect settings as DV-NTSC Standard 48 KHz
    Since today when the work is done in a new or old proyect (DV-NTSC Standard 48 KHz) and  if the same file (Microsoft AVI DV) is loaded to timeline now is showing a red line over the video on timeline (so requires render). There no effects. This never happens before. it is very weird.
    The Premiere is CS3 ver 3.2.0.
    This is  happening to 2 computers with the same version.So far I know there is no changes on the systems
    I was thinking to reisntall 3.0 and then test and the update to 3.2...
    Any idea?

    Hi,
    It worked once in one of the computers. (AVi DV didnt show render red over line). BUt afterwards the problem got back. The only solution so far was to reinstall premiere, update to 3.2.0 in both pc.
    It worked for a while then problems was again. Reinstalled for second time, so far 2 days still ok.. It is very weird. I unchecked updates from cs3 and windowsfor just in case has any relation.
    Thanks for your tip anyway.

  • Saving a book as a PDF file in 5.04 becomes a preview file

    In iphoto 4 i would create lovely books then save as a PDF file which saved as an Acrobat Reader file and opened up just like a book. when i save as a pdf i am getting a preview file
    not what i want! how do i get the acrobat reader back?? anyone????

    Slideshow can be saved as QT movies but they would be way to big to email. If you can get them to a Windows machine it can view them if they have Quicktime for Windows installed. It's a free download from apple.
    There's two ways to backup your library. The first is to save the entire iPhoto Library folder intact. Obviously that will keep all of your data intact, meta, iPhoto organizational, etc. It has to be small enough to be saved to a CD or DVD disk.
    The other way is to burn to disk from within iPhoto portions of the iPhoto library, by albums or rolls, to disk. This will preserve any keywords, comments, and other organizational information that is in iPhoto.

  • HT4641 after modifying a document in Pages I found that there are horizontal lines across every line break when opened and saved it in DropBox.  Does anyone know why?

    after modifying a document in Pages ON MY IPAD AIR I found that there are horizontal lines across every line break when opened and saved it in DropBox.  Does anyone know why?

    Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
    BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
    Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

  • Slices/lines in saved pdf files

    Hi, I've been saving my pdf files from illustrator cs5 and every once in a while the saved pdf shows these lines slicing through parts of the image. They kind of look like the box outlines when you select an object in illustrator. I didn't think they would show up in the final prints but they did. Makes it look like someone scratched the image or something. Weird.
    Anyways I made the image in illustrator a bit smaller, and it came out nicer when I printed as pdf that time, but if I zoom out a bit the lines show up again, so I don't know if it's going to show up again if I have it printed. I'm using expensive paper so I don't want to trial and error this any further if it can be avoided.
    Thanks.

    Please repost in the Illustrator forum. Your question doesn't not concern Workflow issues.

  • Getting waved-horizontal lines running through my photos...Happens not during time of working image in photoshop...but appears when sending to files or other applications, such as after printing back to files...?  Mac checked out OK.

    Getting waved-horizontal lines in my imagery just after working in photoshop...sending to files as with after completing some applications, such as printing. Nothing is wrong with my Mac...Issue does not occur every time I go into using Photoshop?

    Doesn't matter what kind of file...size, jpeg or tiff, black and white as color, etc...Something is in the software issue for my upgraded CS 5 Photoshop, running on a Mac OSX with Leopard version. The CS 5 Adobe software was in an up-grade from CS 3. Best I can do and I thank you for any suggestions based on your experienced background as I can only offer a general interpretation with the waved-horizontal lines that run across some of my images from being in the Photoshop mode from Bridge.

  • Has anyone noticed 9 Horizontal black lines in Nikon V3 NEF files in the shadows?

    Has anyone noticed horizontal black lines in Nikon V3 NEF files, as shown in the image. I have opened the image in Aperture and there are no lines, also tried 2 different computers.

    The lines are there in the raw data, and not something Adobe is doing.
    Here is a screenshot of the central area in RAWDigger raw-analysis software, with things set to stretch the channels much as a high-ISO image would have:
    What I can't tell from the images is if these lines are in optical path, like streaks on the sensor, or if they are added by the process that reads the raw data--read pattern noise.  It is possible that Aperture would have access to "dust delete data" if such a capability exists for the camera and is interpolating around the artifacts or if there is some other reason Nikon software doesn't show them.  I don't know.  You may be able to find information online but rest assured it is a camera issue and not an Adobe issue unless you're asking why Adobe software isn't fixing the problems automatically like Aperture must be doing, and I would guess Adobe doesn't have any way to fix sensor anomalies that aren't more than 1 pixel in size--single hot or dead pixels.
    Unless Nikon can replace or service the camera to remove such things, I don't know what else to suggest.

  • Annoying horizontal lines on preview Premiere Pro CS6

    Hello everybody
    I have a problem with the previews of Premiere Pro cs6.
    If i watch a clip on the preview player i see annoying horizontal lines, especially on fast clips, but if i watch the original clip in other player (WMP, Quicktime) it's alright.
    I have a EVGA GeForce GTX 760 with the last driver version (337.88)
    This problem is present in every at any resolution.
    Someone can help me?
    Thanks a lot

    Yes I think so too....i don't understand why the problem is only on Premiere cs6 and on VLC , but not on other players (WMP or Quicktime); there is no problem on those.
    I think I'll do a format of my pc....
    Thanks however for helping!
