Image Quality of Slideshow When Exported for YouTube

I have attempted several slideshows using A3 and the export quality I find is rather poor. The resulting file is an M4V. Is this a common problem or should I be looking at another form of creating/exporting the slideshow? Play back in A3 has excellent quality but when exported it gets badly degraded.

Yes I'm aware of it, I have tried it with the ipod setting as well as the hd setting and in hd all I got was audio. I'm trying one in 720 now and will see if this setting is any better

  • Premiere Pro CS3: bad video quality when exporting for YouTube

    Hi!
    I'm a newbie to this forum and yes, I've looked for an answer before posting. I'm also pretty new to Premiere Pro and I hope that the problem I'm having is more my fault than Premiere's (it most likely is.)
    I have project, a little YouTube-Video. But whenever I export it, the quality is really poor. I've also tried rendering it with Windows Movie maker and, strangely enough, the quality is much better and closer to the original file. My big question is: what am I doing wrong?
    Here are some additional info:
    Adobe Premiere Pro CS3
    Windows 7 Professional, 32 Bit (PC)
    The movie file was shot with a Sony DSC-W170 and is an .mpg file
    Video:
    640x480
    10418kBit/s (total: 10483 kBit/s)
    30fps
    Audio:
    64kBit/s
    Mono
    32kHZ
    Project settings: DV-Pal
    Standard-PAL-Video (4:3 Interlaced).
    48 kHz (16 Bit) Audio
    I used the Adobe Media Encoder for the export, H.264/YouTube. I've also tried several other settings, but I never get as good a result as with the Windows Movie maker. Can anyone please tell me how I can fix this? (Maybe the quality of the video already suffers when I import the files into Premiere Pro? The video in the source and the cutting window is very blurry.)
    Here you can see for yourself what it looks like:

    File rendered with Windows Movie Maker: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVeoUOfM_uo&feature=youtu.be
    I hope somebody can help me. If you need additional info which I haven't provided, ask away. Thank you so much in advance for your replies!

    YT is set to privet.
    Keep project settings and export settings same as camera.
    Try H.264 (mp4) for export instead.

  • Image quality seems poor when exporting to ePub (even on max)

    Hello all,
      I've been using InDesign to prep a book for export to ePub format, and it will include several images. Things are going fairly well now that I finally think I've got my mind around the way InDesign works and how to think/prep in advance (i.e. get the Masters right and think 'styles' for as much as possible).
    But, when I get things exported to ePub format, I've noticed that the images seem to loose resolution even when I choose jpeg at the maximum setting. Where it's most obvious is when there is text in parts of an image (like text on a map), and at smaller fonts the text becomes blurry and unreadable. The image is pristine and sharp in Photoshop, and is very clear in InDesign doing the layout, and even if I simply save it as a jpeg in Photoshop it stays sharp and things are clear and ledgible. But...
      ...From InDesign...exported to ePub format using the maximum settings...it ends up soft, or a bit fuzzy, to the extent that whether viewing in Digital Editions or ePubReader in Firefox, the smaller text is virtually unreadable.
    Anyone have any ideas why this happens? I could consider making the initial image some much-larger size and hope that when it shrinks to fit the reader window maybe it will still be clear. But I've read that 'best practice' is to keep the image between 300 and 600 pixels in width, so I've made sure it was a bit less that 600. Regardless, it just isn't good enough as it is now.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.
    -T

    I'm having the same problem. About 4 out of every ten images are exported at half the resolution of the rest -- looking at the images in Photoshop each apparent "pixel" is actually 2 x 2 pixels across.
    This occurs both at "high" and "maximum" settings, the images are still borked and the only difference is the resultant file size.
    I've read the PDF referred to in the reply but it says nothing about this.
    My guess is that this is a bug triggered by certain dimensional inputs to the exporter (a la the Photoshop bug where rotating pixels 90° causes artifacts when the area involved is an even number of pixels by an odd number of pixels -- see http://bjango.com/articles/photoshopcs6wishlist/ ).

  • How to export in exact same quality file when uploding for youtube?

    Hello
    Im writing here cause im really tired of exporting dozens of files with bad quality even though im using best exporting settings.
    I tried to watch tutorial clips where people show how to make best quality but still i cant get it right.....i really dont understand where im doing wrong!!
    I would appreciate if there is some1 out there who could help me export in corrects settings.....i know its not easy to help some1 with settings by writing here as u have to know which settings i shot with which settings im using in my timeline and what im using for export....and so on.
    but i give it a try...
    So its like this ive got a camera named
    Sony HDR CX730E
    and i made my shot with setting (pic1)
    its written in swedish anyways its avchd 1920x1080 50p
    so i created a project setting as (pic 2)
    and sequence settings as (pic3)
    and when i export i have tried to export in dozens of files to see which one seems to be best like H.264 ,HD 1080p 29.97 or youtube HD 1080p 29.97 and even i tried Mxf op1a avc intra class100 1080p 25p which gives a superb HD quality when i play it in computer but the files is almost 3,5gb large but i think the larger the file is the better quality i get!?
    Anyhow when i upload the mxf file or any other file which i have exported for youtube it gives a very poor quality once u put Full HD 1080 in full screen ....its almost like u play it without HD......
    I want to achieve something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avCWzkNiXok
    and my video quality is like youtube video i just showed but unfortunately only in my computer not in youtube.......
    So if there is some1 out there who cud help me ill be so greatful of u!
    Thank you
    (im using adobe premiere pro cc)

    OK.
    First of all, I would not try to export 50fps to 29.97 fps.  I would use 25fps if I used anything other than 50fps.
    Second, there is no need to change your settings at all. YouTube says to upload at the same frame rate you shot it at.
    https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1722171?hl=en&ref_topic=2888648
    You will also notice that 8Mb/s is the "standard" quality and you can go up to 50Mb/s for 1080p. So try exporting at around the same bitrate as your original recording. If it was 25Mb/s then try that. If 50Mb/s go ahead and try that if you are still not happy at 25Mb/s.
    Although, I generally find that I am content at about 15Mb/s for video without much action, 25Mb/s for most video and for sports I use the max of 50Mb/s.
    Having said that, I don't worry about file size anymore. I have disk space and a fast Internet connection. If either of those are a problem for you, then you may have to adjust your expectations.

  • Exporting For YouTube - Premiere Pro CS5 (Canon XL2)

    I shot a promo video with my Canon XL2, and would like to upload the finished product to YouTube at the highest possible quality in order to help promote the company I work for.
    Footage shot in 30p at 29.97 fps, 16:9 - NTSC.
    Sequence settings are all correct and match my footage perfectly.
    I have exported the video as H.264, AVI, MOV, MP4, MP2, WMV and countless other formats. When played on my computer the video quality is SUPERB. I am ecstatic at how it turned out, HOWEVER, when I upload the video -in any format- to YouTube, it looks absolutely horrible - as though it were shot with a webcam.
    Does anyone have any advice as to what I might be doing wrong? Anyone had any experience with the XL-2 and Premiere Pro videos being ugly when uploaded to YouTube?
    Thanks a bunch!

    Be very careful when using Adobe's presents for YouTube, Vimeo, etc.  They have a fixed frame rate but it doesn't always match your source frame rate and this adds additional render time and can drop or add (adding is much worse) frames.
    The worst offender is a preset that is for non drop-frame 30.0 fps (instead of drop frame 29.97) because every 3 seconds 3 frames get added.
    Also be aware that when exporting for the web (or most anything other than to DVD), you want to use square pixels.
    This might require a bit of tweaking with the presets but it is well worth the effort.
    864x480 is the square pixel equivalent to 720x480 widescreen (1.21...).
    For more indepth info on the presets (and my rants on the matter) - have a look at my CS5 and C5.5 articles.

  • Exporting for YouTube Videos?

    Hi, I have a fifteen minute video (320 x 180) that I'd like to upload to YouTube, but I can't find a decent preset for exporting it. When I try to export with MPEG2, the resulting video has an odd, jerking motion to it. MPEG4 exports everything as blurrily as possible. AVI works great, but the file sizes are all way over 2 gigabytes, which is YouTube's limit. The only one that works, it seems, is WMV, but each file takes 2+ hours to upload, and, once online, the videos load excruciatingly slowly.
    So, for those of you who export for YouTube: What presets do you use?

    I export to YouTube on a daily basis... here is a screen capture of my settings for HD and SD, respectively. For both, Audio is set at AAC Stereo, 48kHz, High quality, 128kbps, and multiplexing is at mp4 with standard stream compatibility (though iPod seems to work just as well).

  • Why would I want to change JPEG quality of photos when exporting them from iPhoto?

    Why would I want to change JPEG quality of photos when exporting them from iPhoto?  Changing the quality of the print changes the size of the saved file and thus impacts the speed at which it is moved on the internet.  But other than size of the file, what is the advantage of changing the quality?

    I have no idea why you would want to do anything
    Some people want lower quality to reduce file size for different reasons
    It is an option - if you do pot want to do that do not use that option

  • How can you keep the highest iphone 4s Video quality the same when exporting it from iMovie.

    How can you keep the highest iphone 4s Video quality the same when exporting it from iMovie.

    InDesign's PDF export engine does not transcode your videos, they are embedded exactly as they were in the original file. The Flash Player runtime which displays video inside PDF files may not show a perfect match to Quicktime etc. because most video playback tools aren't designed for a color-calibrated workflow, but they should be close.
    The playback quality (blocking and aliasing) will be affected if the clip is not playing at 100% (screen pixels != video pixels) and in PDFs with the standard video player widget, that will only ever happen when you use 'floating window' mode. PDF pages have physical dimensions, so viewing them at "100%" does not make them match screen pixels.
    If you don't mind the video clip being smaller than the media annotation in which it's playing, then use my free upgrade to the Acrobat playback widget - VideoPlayerX - which maintains 1:1 pixel scale until the page is zoomed out too far for it to fit. You can install the widget into InDesign so it's used by default when exporting.

  • Float4() causes "error saving Pixel Bender Byte Code file" error when exporting for flash player

    Simple test
    <languageVersion : 1.0;>
    kernel untitled
    <   namespace : "Your Namespace";
        vendor : "Your Vendor";
        version : 1;
    >
        input image4 src;
        output pixel4 dst;
        void
        evaluatePixel()
            dst = float4(sampleNearest(src, outCoord()));
    The above code will produce a "error saving Pixel Bender Byte Code file" error when exporting for flash player in Pixel Bender Toolkit 2.5.449694.
    "dst = (sampleNearest(src, outCoord()));" works fine. And anything like "float4 a= float4(b);" will give same error.

    Thank you for the error report.  I'll put it into our bug database.  We're bottling things up for the current version.  Gven the workaround, it is unlikely we'll be addressing this bug soon.  Please accept my apologies for the annoyance this will cause.
    In your second example, float4 a = float4(b), does it return an error if b is only a float4 or regardless of what b is?  If b is a scalar float, for example, is the conversion performed correctly? If so, this could be an error that only crops up when using constructor/conversion syntax when the thing being converted is already the correct type.
    Thanks,
    Chuck.

  • 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!!
    Message was edited by: derdav

    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.

  • Image quality in slideshow is significantly deteriorated

    I am new to Premiere Elements (3.0) and still have much to learn about navigating and using the software. I have no prior experience with other comparable products so I am a newbie in all respects.
    I took a series of still images from a 7 megapixel camera, all shot in highest resolution, and placed them into a slideshow in Premiere Elements 3.0. Image quality is significantly deteriorated when I view the slideshow, which I've not yet burned to dvd, my intended output.
    I don't understand why the original resolution of the images is degraded. I'm hoping there are simple settings I must change. reading through the software documentation thus far has not provided the answer.
    do I need to take the original images and save them to a different format in Photoshop Elements before placing them into a slideshow for dvd output? if so, does this need to be done one image at a time (I've got 400 images) or can they be converted as a group?
    I'm getting desperate and would appreciate anyone's advice.

    The slideshow exported from PE3.0 will be at NTSC (or PAL) resolution so 720x480... so significantely lower resolution than your source photos and it will be interlaced. When viewed on a TV it will look fine but not so good on a computer monitor. Try burning to DVD and viewing.
    Also PE3.0 might have problems working/burning photos at such a high resolution. As the final export it restricted to 720x480 you can resize your photos to 1000x750 and these will be easier to process by PE3.0

  • IPhoto changes slideshow when exported

    I am having significant problems with iPhoto changing the slideshow when I export it to iDVD or even Quicktime. This is so frustrating! All I can attribute this to, is one of the updates. I have used this to do DVD's for weddings, graduations, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. with no problem, then somewhere along the line, it began changing the timing. All my hard work to synchronize the exact picture with the music - GONE!
    Please help, as I have lots of these to do on a tight turnaround time. I adore my Mac & really need for this to work like it used to!

    The audio syncing has been a problem with iPhoto 6 for a while now. There is a couple of ways you can do what you want;
    1 - create the slideshow in iPhoto without music and share to iDVD.
    2 - when the import into iDVD is complete, close iDVD without saving and look for your movie in the Movies folder. This produces the larger size movie than just exporting to Quicktime does.
    3 - open the movie in iMovie and add your tracks. You have considerably more control in fade ins and outs, cutting out the dead time at the end of a track, etc.
    4 - save the iMovie project.
    5 - open iDVD, select your theme.
    6 - drag the iMovie project file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones. This avoids additional encoding by iMovie so the only encoding done is by iDVD when you go to save as a disk image or burn directly to disk.
    Are you using the KB effect in your slideshow? If not, you can get, IMO, better image quality slideshows by creating the show entirely in iDVD from the imported stills. By selecting the option to scale photos to the TV Safe Area you won't lose any of the picture to the TV overscan phenomenon that affects all QT files used in iDVD. This method also allows you to add titles/sub titles to selected slides or add a text slide as a title. The scale to audio in iDVD is very precise.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Image quality in slideshows

    Hi,
    Is there anyway to get iWeb to use a higher quality image when displaying a slideshow.
    Compared to Google Web Albums the quality of the 800 x 600 image used is heavily reduced in quality.
    Any ideas?
    All the best

    I'm not sure about image quality but I found these differences:
    1. The iPhoto slideshow transitions were smoother.
    2. The iPhoto slideshow was not restricted by the "tv safe zone" (edges were cut off on my TV).
    For TV viewing, I cannot tell a image quality difference.

  • Bad image quality of slideshows

    I am a new Mac user. I am having difficulty making slideshows from the iLife version 6 software with the features that I want and decent image quality.
    I've been trying with iPhoto, iMovieHD and iDVD. I want to be able to put captions or title screens in my slideshows, so I must use either iDVD or iMovieHD. If I do not want my photos to pan and zoom, I can use iDVD. I've done this and burned the result to a DVD. When I play the DVD on my 65" wide screen high definition television, the image quality of the slideshow is not satisfactory. Diagonal lines have visible stepping. Just before a photo transitions to the next photo, there is a noticeable increase in the number of digital artifacts for about one second.
    For some slideshows, I wanted to have the pan and zoom effects, and title screens, so I used iMovieHD. When I started the project, I chose the format 1080i because that is what my high definition television can do. I realize, however, that my DVD player cannot do that resolution, so I am not sure that was the correct format to choose. I "shared" the completed slideshow movie to iDVD. When I play that slideshow, I see many digital artifacts in the images as the zoom happens. The images are not as good as looking at the original digital photos on the computer.
    Is there a way to make a slideshow on a DVD that has an image quality that matches the original digital photograph? Is it possible to use the pan and zoom effect when I wish to play a DVD slideshow on a television?
    Any help is appreciated.
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   2MB memory, 15"

    I realize that I did not ask exactly the right question.
    I've made slideshows using U-lead software on my windows XP desktop machine. The image quality of those slideshows on a standard TV is better than what I can do with iDVD and iMovie. So I'm wondering is there something I need to do in iDVD that might be automatically happening in the U-lead software. Obviously, I do not expect people here to know anything about that software, but you might know of something in the iDVD software that will prevent the digital artifacts that I see when I use iDVD to make a slideshow. So far, the slideshows I've made are bordering on not watchable.
