How to get crisp jpeg images for slideshow on a Mac with Final Cut?

Hi, I imported a large number of jpegs into Final Cut Pro and when I export to Quicktime Movie (not modifying the sequence size or settings I notice the quality of the jpeg images looks rather washed out and a bit fuzzy. The image dimensions of the jpegs are actually 2848 x 4272 and I was originally using a sequence setting of 720 by 480 (which scaled the images to about 12%). I experimented with doubling the sequence setting to 1440 by 960 and scaled the images to about 25.5% - still a bit washed out look.
Basically this will be a presentation on a computer and output via projection. Looking for best possible and clearest photos. I experimented with iPhoto and when you play a slideshow it looks very crisp - this is what I am aiming for. When I export using the Slideshow export at the largest size 640 by 480 in iPhoto to quicktime - the quality seriously deteriorates.
What would be the best way to maintain the crispness of the photos in Final Cut for an export to Quicktime that would be show on a Mac via a projector? Thank you

Hi Nick, I do see information on creating a slideshow with Quicktime at: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/slideshow.html
however it appears Quicktime X removed that capability. There is no 'open image sequence' option from the File menu in Quicktime X.
If I do end up sticking with Final Cut - would you recommend any codec and/or dimension size that would result in the best quality or the most crisp image? I also need a few fade in's and out's on various parts - I don't believe I would have the control without Final Cut.
Would resizing the image files in Photoshop to 1920 pixels by 1280 before importing them into Final Cut result in crisper images? Thanks.

  • How to Get Windows 10 Image for Galileo

    I purchased a Galileo gen 2 board and would like to start prototyping a project I have in mind -- but I cannot for the life of me figure out how/where to get a Win10 image for the board.  I've signed up (twice) through the 'Connect' web site (and gotten
    zero replies), and the links on the Connect site that talk about getting an image if you bought your board yourself just lead to a 404 error.
    Any suggestions?

  • How to get a jpeg image to a movie with best possible quality

    I've got a jpeg image from my 2 megapixel digital camera and I'm playing around with converting it to a movie. Yes, its a one image movie.
    +QuickTime Pro+ does a superb job when I choose H.264, 1024 kb/s, but I can't get iMovie 5.0.2 to give me the same quality. This is what I have done:
    1. Create a new movie as type MPEG-4.
    2. Imported the jpeg image and adjust the time from 5 seconds to about 2 seconds.
    3. Select Share, choose H.264, 1024 kb/s from the relevant option and after the movie making happens, the quality is obviously inferior to that from +QT Pro+.
    *QUES 1*: Why is the quality inferior?
    I have been to iMovie help and noticed this comment:
    "When you import clips in a format different from your project, they are converted to the video format of your movie."
    *QUES 2*: Is this why my jpeg image is losing quality? Is iMovie converting it to something else?
    Further, when the jpeg image is first imported, it is assigned a clip time of 5 seconds. When I move one of the sliders to reduce the time to just a few seconds, I notice that a black band appears at the top of the image in the iMovie window and as I make the time smaller, the image zooms in and the black band becomes wider. Letterboxing at the top seems to be occuring. This I can't fathom.
    *QUES 3*: Why does iMovie zoom in when I adjust time?
    Any comments most appreciated, especially those that tell me if iMovie can make a movie from jpeg images with the same quality as QT Pro -- and how to do that.

    Re the quality -- I think I have answered this one myself. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that when I select a video option (DV, HD 1080 and so on), iMovie sets up a frame size to suit, and the frame size that iMovie sets up for MPEG-4 happens to be 640 x 480, thus the poor quality of my jpegs when I selected that option. The poor quality had nothing to do with the MPEG-4 format.
    Now the interesting things is, MPEG-4 is not limited to 640 x 480. It can be any size. So my question is:
    Ques: Can I set up a movie within iMovie that is any size I want? QT Pro gave better results because it allows any size movie at all, and thus adjusted the movie size to my jpeg size (1800 x 1200 pixels) when I imported an image from my digital camera.
    As it stands, not even the highest quality option in +iMovie 5.0.2+ (HD 1080) can handle the images from my piddly-little 2 megapixel camera.

  • Urgent: How to generate lo source images for slideshows?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to generate low source images for my website, to reduce frustration for viewers downloading larger image files. In the past this has been easy to do one at a time, however I've got some slideshows on my website that are quite large and I'd like to be able to do the same for them. However, the low source auto generate button just generates a low source for the first image (the root source file of the slideshow) and not for any of the others. Is there a way to overcome this? Will it muck up the flow of the slideshow to have the low source images in the same folder with them?
    Thank you

  • How do i get a copy of IDVD and will it work with final cut pro x.

    I have a new powerbook. I've purchased final cut pro x because express is no longer available. My Mac didn't come with iDVD and I can't find a suitable dvd authoring tool. Please... some suggestions for DVD authoring or how to get a copy of iDVD and will it even work with FCPx.

    Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge.  (There are no realistic substitutes for iDVD.)
    408-996-1010
    800-692-7753
    If you are still within your 15 day return period,  nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick.  You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.
    If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11  (includes iDVD) on disk.
    IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

  • How about putting out ISO images for various downloads

    I posted this suggestion before, a year ago, I think. no change. so here it goes again:
    It'd be much better to put out ISO images instead of.cpio.gz or .tar.gz file, as
    many people I know had to extract the content from the archive, then generate cd images.
    There are great free ('mkisofs') and commercial tools to generate iso images.
    One may argue that it'd be hard for people don't have cd-rom/cd-rw. Under linux, this is not an issue. iso image can easily be mounted on a loop device and read from.

  • How to place a still image for Flash Player for a website

    Hello,
    I have CS3 suite and am using Dreamweaver and Flash for a new project.  I am working on a website and would like to have small flash movies on several different pages.  I would like to know how to get a still image in flash player before the user clicks the movie so that they will not see a black box on the pages before and after they click the movie.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    Hi, You can go to this test site to see if you have Flash Player Installed on your 10.6.5 Mac.
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Then this link has info on how to Uninstall Flash Player (if needed) and Install the latest version. It is a step by step.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html  
    After reading that info and you just need to Install, then this link would be easier:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    Flash Player is a browser plugin and as long as your browser is supported by Adobe Flash Player, then you shouldn't have any problem.

    I've transferred photos to my ipod classic from my laptop. But how can I transfer JPEG images to ipod?

    Hello, Blondet787. 
    JPEG photos are compatible with your device.  As long as these images are in the same folder as your pictures, then they should sync.  Below, I have included a couple articles that show you how to sync this data to your iPod.

    What do you mean by "get" and "transfer"?
    If the shift register is not what you want, use a plan tunnel instead.
    Typically, programmers are interested in the first, not last, error.
