How do I remove halftones at shape edges?

I am new to Ae. When I make shapes there are these annoying 1 pixel half tones at the edges and they are really visable in this blue colour, if I turn off anti alias (can you even do that in Ae?) the curves will look bad. So can I just snap the straight edges to the pixels or something?

Those are caused by subpixel interpolation. Select your shape layer and press the u key twice to reveal all of the modified properties of your shape then fix the size and position of your shape so that everything is a whole number. If your rectangle is an odd number of pixels high or wide then the anchor point value must.be at a half pixel. IOW if the rectangle is 51 x 100 the anchor point must be sent to 25.5, 50.
Once you start animating position the anti-aliasing will take over again but this usually causes no problems because you cannot judge the quality of your video from a single frame, you have to make your judgment call when the video is playing at speed and full-size on the device you intend to use to present your video. And other words you can't tell if your project is perfect unless you watch it on television if it is intended for television or on a computer monitor if it is intended for YouTube.

How do I remove lines at moving edges?

Hello
I would like to know how to get rid of these lines (around the edges): they show mainly where there's movement happening in the image.
I exported the movie from FCP using compressor: settings were
• DVD: Best quality 90 minute
• Encoder/ Video: aspect ratio 16:9, Quality 2pass, Motion: Best, Ave Bit Rate 7.6, 8.9 max
GOP: IBP, size 7, closed
(with frame controls)
Is there anything I can do to remove/ lessen them?
Thank you
Elizabeth
(Video was from NTSC DV tape)

That maximum and average bit rate is way too high for a 90 minute encode.
Well, i'm new at this and have to rely on books to teach myself: the +Apple Pro Training+ book on DVD Pro 4 says " the more bits per second ... the more color, luma, or audio information ..., which results in ... better video and audio quality" (p. 196) It has more info too about dvd players and reading the code, but as I only have one angle, one audio track for this movie, there isn't a lot of information to process so a larger file is acceptable for my dvd. (and it does play on a dvd player)
Why are you using frame controls, and altering the settings of the encode?
Why? because I'm not afraid to tinker around to get the best quality product. +Final Cut Pro Portable Genius+ says that the frame controls increase the quality of compression, but just add time to the encoding process.
It isn't a large project, just 55 minutes or so in total and i am trying to get the best quality possible. As it is, in DVDP it's only 3.4 gig in total size, including content added to the rom.
Use the 90 best quality DVD SD preset and make certain you use the ac3 audio setting.
That's where I started and customized, to suit the size of the project (as both sources suggest doing). Audio is not the problem.
Also, what is the total length of the video in minutes, and how are you viewing the footage?
The total length of the video is 42 minutes , with another track of 9 minutes
Computer or DVD player with TV?
Computer for the screen shots. But played on a dvd player (TV) the lines are also visible.
This project has been in development for weeks, and i actually completed it 2 weeks ago to burn in DVDP and test. I just have to add another name to the acknowledgements and since I have to re export it from FCP, I thought I would try to get rid of these edges. In FCP I tried virtually every possible way to export, yet the lines were always there, except when using h.264 but that's probably because they weren't sharp any more

How do I remove the small cross that is in the centre of a shape (when viewing the outline)?

How do I remove Shape cross hair from the middle of a shape please. I am using Illustrator CS3. I am making an image to cut out using a Cad Cutter so i am using the VIEW OUTLINES OPTION. I have used cirles in my compostion and when I view the outlines there is a tiny tiny cross in the centre of the shapes? I am unable to remove these and if i leave them on, then the printer will cut a cross in it's place which is what I don't want.
Please can someone tell me how to remove the cross hairs, not from Normal view becuase they aren;t there but from the OUTLINE View.
Thanks so much, I hope someone can help.

How do I remove white jagged edges after making image transparent?

How do I remove white jagged edges after making image transparent? Is there a feature to help out with this?

It's a file format limitation. GIF supports 1 bit of transparency. That is 2^1 (which equals 2 total) levels of transparency. This equates to either NO transparency at all, or specifying 1 single color of the 256 total possible values to being fully transparent.
This will leave a very ugly fringe around the edge no matter what; it will only not be visible in color that match or are close to the fringe color; and then, that's a perception issue.
Try creating an alpha channel and saving the image as a PNG. That supports 8 bits of transparency, which equals 2^8 or 256 total different levels of transparency. This will let your image have very smooth edges with no jagged transitions.

How do I remove the egdes of an image?

Hello,
I am on Illustrator 2014, and I can't figure out how I can remove the edges of my photo.
The photo I have imported is shaped as a rectangle, and I want it to fit inside a Round rectangle frame.
So how do I cut out the edges?
The frame will be placed in the middle of a scene so I cant simply hide the edges by placing a shape over them, as it would overlay the background.
Picture:
You can see the orange edges I want to hide/delete.

Hi 2D,
Here's what I'd do:
1 - Select the frame and the photo.
2 - Click with the right mouse button and select "clipping mask"
This way the photo will be shaped after the rectangle, but the black line will disappear. If you want to keep it, copy the rectangle before and adjust it above the clipping mask later.
Hope this helped

How can I disable making live shape rectangle in the first place but normal one instead in Illustrator CC?

How can I disable making live shape rectangle in the first place but normal one instead in Illustrator CC? When I create rectangle I can't transform it by dragging and it's only the problem with rectangle, not with circle, star etc. I try show/hide edges/bounding box reset preferences and reinstall whole illustrator CC and it's the same. I can only make this right by expand this rectangle, which is shape as is turn out to rectangle by clicking object>shape>expand rectangle. But this is so frustrating. Help!:) oh, and I use OSX. My friend has the same specs and it's works. I mean she can use live shape corner transformations and changing size by draging:(

I’ve created my own plugin (available for free for personal and commercial use) which imitates behavior of the ‘old’ Rectangle Tool. It doesn’t replace the Live Rectangle – it works completely independent!
My Plain Rectangle Tool correctly snaps to grids/objects/points and correctly aligns to grid/points on resize. Of course it supports the SHIFT and ALT/OPTION keys, Snap to Grid and Smart Guides options. In other words it works almost 100% the same as the Rectangle Tool we know from CC (17.1), CS6 and earlier.
The installation package (zxp) adds ‘Plain Rectangle Tool’ icon into the Ai panel (of curse you can assign your custom keyboard shortcut to it as well)
Note: The Plain Rectangle can be easily converted into the Live one using Object > Shape > Convert to Rectangle
Grab your copy at http://63mutants.com/subc/products/PlainRectangleTool_m01/PlainRectangleTool_m01.php Feel free to share with your friends. It’s completely free.
I’ve also created a separate discussion https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1587587 for the Plain Rectangle Tool. If you have any comments or request please post it there. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

How can I remove previous results from a process on an image

I am doing a circular edge detect and allowing the user to move the ROI and change the settings on the fly. After a change I do another edge detect and all of the previously found circular edges remain on the screen. How can I remove those?

These are overlays generated by the edge detection routines. You can remove them just like any other overlays. The function is IMAQ Clear Overlay.

How do I remove object's outline when selected to see Appearance changes better?

I have converted two "F"s into a shape.
When I select them I have a border around the shape with all the handles around to adjust them.
But when I need to put different types of Glows/Shadows It's hard to tell if I like it due to this outline.
Is there a way to remove the outline temporarily?

I assume you're using GMail as your primary e-mail account? Try this. This is how I am setup. Not only will it move all your contacts to your phone but any changes made in GMail or on the iPhone will be sync'd with the server.

Note... I think this will delete your existing contacts from your device. You will want to use iTunes to back them up and get them imported into GMail before you sync your device wtih GMail.
