How to always playback DV as "high quality"

Is there an Applescript or a preference setting to always use the High Quality setting for DV playback? Apple introduced this feature back with 400MHz was considered fast (and High Quality was a real strain on the CPU). But any modern Mac >1GHz can playback High Quality mode DV without any problem.
Right now, Quicktime Player requires that I turn on High Quality after digging through settings... for each movie!

There is a "Use High Quality" check box in the Player's General preferences.
I've never been able to view any difference in either setting.
Since checking the box in the Movie Properties window must be done after export remember to do a save as to preserve fast start features in Web based files.
But nearly file I open already has this box checked. This implies that the feature can be overruled by the Player preferences or removing the check mark in Movie Properties.

How to edit and make a high quality swf a low quality one

How to edit and make a high quality swf a low quality one. how do you do this in adobe flash cs5? The file i edited is entirely too large

click file/publish settings/html and use the quality settings dropdown.
if that doesn't lead to satisfactory file size, you may need to check the properties of each bitmap in the library to see if it's set to over-ride the global settings.

How do I make iPad images high quality in Photoshop?

I'm a graphic designer and I tried setting the resolution higher with my 1024 x 768 image but it still looks crappy when viewd on my iPad 2. How do I make the image higher quality when I save it? I use Adobe Photoshop cs4.
Thanks

Photos that are synced via iTunes get 'optimised' during the transfer, though I don't know what the optimisation actually does (and it's not possible, as far as I know, to bypass the optimisation when syncing photos). If you want your versions of the photos on the iPad then you could try the camera connection kit, emailing them to yourself (and then saving to Photos), or one of the wifi photos transfer apps - though the photos will only go into the camera roll/saved photos album (at least until iOS 5 which should allow us to move photos between albums)

How do I make the video higher quality?

How do I make dvd's with a higher quality? I have a Sony AVCHD Camcorder. I used to use a Macbook Pro and iMovie and iDVD to make DVDs and I could choose to make them a higher quality. The problem was that it would literally take DAYS to get them done. I switched to Final Cut, which is quicker, but I can't seem to make the DVDs a higher quality and they are very fuzzy compared to what I used to make.
My husband assures me that the pros in Hollywood use Final Cut Pro to edit video, so it must be possible to make these a better quality.

If you still have a copy of iDVD:
Export from FCP X As a Master File and use the export in iDVD the same way as you did with iMovie.
Bear in mind all DVD discs will only ever be SD Quality and not HD.
Better quality requires a jump to Bluray.
FCP X can burn direct to Bluray if you have the gear.

HT1711 How to download a song in high quality in Itunes?

How to download a high quality song in itunes? because we got a system at school and the quality that i download is not good in skeakers.

If you're referring to songs you're importing from CDs, change the default encoder to use a higher bitrate or Apple Lossless or AIFF and reimport the CDs. The format and bitrate of songs obtained from other sources are fixed; while it's sometimes useful to convert a song to a different format, it will not improve the song's quality.

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.

Nokia Video Manager 1.5.12 - "High Quality"

Under Tools - Settings - Conversion Type, why is "high quality" dimmed out, even with the phone disconnected? How do I force it to "high quality"?

Ha ha ha, you are askin bout super preset, many times ago a young person was asked to make a sticky video thread but he was so lazy, he could not make it.
For MP4 solution the most common preset is:
29.97 FPS (Depends on the phone)
1.5 MBPS>384 KBPS.
320*240 pixel rez.
Most importantly, when you hit the FAQ page on the product page of any nokia website just ask or type the video encoding and a very useful (tho' quite long) topic will appear.
I learnt a lot from that one.

How to keep a High Quality Movie Resolution using IDVD ?

Hi,
When I connect my camcorder to the TV directly, I can see very sharp resolution video (in normal TV screen format).
If I download the same recording to Apple in widescreen format, add music to it using iMovie and then burn it using iDVD, I get very poor resolution when I watch this movie on the same TV.
Would you know how can I do to keep my sharp resolution after burning my movie using IDVD?
Kind Regards.

Hi
This is due to iMovie and really iMovie'08 or 09
They are aimed for quick editing to web-publishing - not high quality DVD.
iMovie 1 to HD 6 and FinalCut Express or Pro are the tool of choise for DVD or
even Blue-Ray (needs Roxio Toast™ and ev. a Blue-Ray burner/disks)
iMovie'08 and 09 discard every second line = less quality very close to VHS.
I never managed to get full quality from them to feed iDVD.
• Pro Quality encoding in iDVD is very sufficient to my needs and
burning out with Roxio Toast™ as Blue-Ray to standard DVD (max 20-30 minutes)
gives an even better result BUT ONLY PLAYBACK on Blue-Ray player or PlayStation 3.

2 questions about bridge cs6 is always the rotate lossless? and high quality on demand

Hi
about bridge cs6 the rotate buttons rotate 90° counter and 90°clockwise is lossless ? i mean without loss of quality ?
and my i know the meaning of high quality on demand? might someone make an example?
thanks a lot

That's why I have never bothered to conduct such a test. A complete waste of time, in my opinion.
I would not put it that way because it always interesting to what extend users like to go or come up with for testing
But in basic, yes you are right. If you need such extreme test to proof the theory wrong the practice still is a winner. If you can't see it with your own eyes it is not really important but to fill an academic paper. In real life neither you, nor the customer or viewer would notice any difference
According to the discussion about jpeg vs Raw, of course Raw has a ton of benefits above jpeg. Personally I almost never shoot jpeg but I do know people that do to satisfaction.
Suppose you are a sports photographer and need both speed in writing to the card as in post process etc. You are working under know and solid light conditions and have measured your wight balance and set it manual. This provides very good qualities (that is if you have set the jpeg quality to high or max in camera) and shot with a recent good dSLR it produces files that can be published without problems on a magazine spread.
I can't see disadvantage for such situations. However, you have to be aware that for future use your options are still limited when deciding to change post processing. Color temperature, exposure etc etc are far more flexible with Raw then jpeg.
The vast majority of my clients want jpeg and that is what I convert to when files are ready. Yet I keep my original DNG and PSD file.
Especially the archived Raw (in my case since 2008 converted DNG from CR2 files) is important. I can't tell you how surprise I am every time I open a raw file from 10 years ago in todays Raw converters. They have been improved very much and are able to get more out of your old files then you ever could imagine.
And to finish with an other plus side of Raw. If you need to enlarge old and new raw files to huge billboards you will discover that the results of the Raw are far more superior

How achieve highest playback quality from shared iMovie HDV Project?

I have a Sony HDR-HC9 1080i HDV tape camcorder and I am able to play back HD video to either a Mac computer or to a Panasonic Full HD 1080p TV. Playback quality of unedited HD holiday video footage to TV using HDMI cable and to the computer via Firewire is superb. This excellent playback quality is also preserved in an edited iMovie Project in HDV format 57 minutes long and 48 GB in size which I made from the original 90 minutes holiday video footage.
The problems arose in trying to preserve this high quality when sharing the iMovie Project. Before I bought this HDV camcorder I had a Sony DV tape camcorder and I always used to make an archive tape from an edited DV Project by exporting the iMovie Project back to tape. However, when attempting to do the same with this latest HDV 48 GB Project the computer message informed me that it would take about 43 hours to do this. So that is out of the question!
Next I decided to make a Quicktime movie from the iMovie HDV Project using Full Quality compression via Apple Intermediate Codec (1440 x 1080). This took 12 hours to do! Computer viewing of the resultant 44 GB movie gave excellent image sharpness in still views, but for views of moving objects and also panned footage from the camera, closer viewing showed fine comb-outlining on most objects, but especially on narrow vertical objects. Is this what some of you call "jaggies" and is it an interlacing artifact? Whatever it is it was NOT in the iMovie Project but was introduced by the compression process Project->>Movie. Still worse was the jerky playback of the movie. The "IMovie Inspector" info confirmed that the movie had been made during the compression process at 25 frames per second whereas playback was in the range of only 3 to 10 fps! Previously made shorter Quicktime HD movies have not shown this jerky playback and played at 25 fps. Can anyone explain why this jerky playback occurred with the the longer 44GB movie?
Finally I made a DVD by dragging the uncompressed iMovie HD Project icon directly onto a DVD theme in iDVD and burning. The result was OK on both the computer and on TV but not great. Close viewing on the computer showed an effect which looked like a thin film of water rippling horizontally. This effect also showed in TV viewing of the DVD. Interestingly, this effect was almost eliminated when "Deinterlace" was UNCHECKED in the iDVD player viewing options.
My own conclusion is that the highest quality for archiving and playback is achieved by storing the large edited iMovie HDV PROJECT on an external hard drive and playing it back at full screen size on the Mac computer. In this way the iMovie editing functions such as the Timeline are hidden from view and cause no distraction when watching the superb HDV quality.
IS THERE A BETTER WAY?
Please comment and advise.

How to Create a High Quality Band/Multitrack Recording Play-Through Video?

I am trying to work out the best way to make a playthrough video a little like these - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QUUajNPb5g - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAGqCAsk3gQ&feature=related .
It would be for doing a multitrack-recording playthrough video of my drummer, played to the backing track of one of our songs I recorded in cubase 6
I have Adobe Premiere CS6, Cubase 6, the aproprate mics, a soundcard etc, but I don't have a video camera, but I'd probably just get a £300-£500 one unless you guys think that's not right?
So I'm wondering how you might go about this?
Cheers!!!

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.

How to Take High Quality GIF Animation In After Effects? Could You Tell Me If You Know

Some People Posting (In Behance) High Quality GIF Motion Graphics. How They Did?

No such thing as a high quality animated gif if high quality means more than 256 colors and anti aliasing.
If you want to create a better looking animated gif in After Effects then you render a lossless movie from your composition and then use Photoshop or another app to turn the movie into an animated gif.
If you want to import an animated gif into AE then what you see is all there is. Gif's cannot contain more than 256 colors and anti aliasing is terrible to non existent.
