Image quality on CP8 Responsive Project

Has anyone come across image quality drop off when publishing to a responsive project in CP8?
I currently have a few .PNG icons I need to use with transparency and on different screen sizes they resize as you would expect.
But the quality really drops off on iOS (iPhone 5) where as when showing on a desktop they look fine.
Even when having the image as a fixed size of the correct pixels the .PNG still looks pixellated on the iPhone.
I've tried changing quality settings but to no avail, my first thought was it's network compression over 4G/3G but it's the same on WiFi.
I'm hoping I'm missing something obvious?

Two for Two in helping me TLC....amazing!
The worrying this is that Captivate seems to be not only compressing the image but adjusting the size slightly.
The image had moved from 112x64 to 112x65.  As soon as I overwrote the images with the originals and re-named them in the output folder the quality was drastically improved.  Obviously this isn't ideal for every time I publish the content but it's a fix for now.
Hopefully Adobe see this and rectify it in a future build.
Thanks again.

  • How to manage, to insert phone gesture in cp8 responsive project ?

    l tried to convert a responsive cp 8 project into an App, with phonegapbuild. Marvellous, it works. But does anyone have ever tried those phone gestures ? Ok, I checked the appropriate window, but how can I manage my slides to swipe frm one to another ? I tried  to put a click box above the slide but it doesn't work. Can't find any tutorial about "How to insert phone gesture..." thanks a lo

    Thanks for your reply, Lilybiri.
    In Responsive Project, the default size of Tablet is 768(W) x 627(H), so, since the width is larger than the height, I thought that you'd want to hold the tablet horizontally in order to see the 768(W) x 627(H) (which appears to me to be landscape) layout. But now it occurs to me, after reading your message, that the 768(W) x 627(H) layout of the tablet is viewed by holding the tablet vertically, and that when the tablet is held horizontally, the layout is automatically switched to the Primary view. Is that so?
    The reason I want to change the primary view to portrait is that I want to create a tutorial based on some PDF pages which are in portrait layout. I convert those PDF pages to individual images using Acrobat Professional, then import them into Captivate. But I realize that the viewers would have to scroll down to see the lower part of the page.

  • Re: Sudden loss of project image quality in iMovie 11

    Hi
    I'm an anxious technophobe looking for answers...
    The image quality of my iMovie project suddenly went from crisp, to blurry and made the black areas in the film grey and pixilated/blocky (or is it considered 'noise'?). It had been perfectly fine before. The footage was shot on a 2011 Sony Handicam and I'm using a 2011 MacBook Pro. I had recently installed updates, including one that supposed fixed out of synch sound problems. I had a loss of quality with another project and optimised it to "original size" (It took hours and made absolutely no difference BTW). I should also mention my hard drive has limited space at the moment and iMovie is running very slowly.
    Any suggestions/ diagnosis???
    I am anxious to restore the previous sharp quality I had just hours ago.
    Thanks

    It sounds like the hard disk space could be the culprit.
    I would recommend you get an external drive. You need to move some of your events to the external drive to free up space. This must be done within iMovie. Let us know if you need help with this. (or search the discussions for how to move events)

  • Poor Image Quality on Finished Project

    I've seen similar questions before, but no responses. I put together a movie using still pictures, titles, and audio from iTunes using iMovie. I then export it to a .m4v format and import it into iDVD (the newest version). It looks perfect when I view it on my computer, but when I burn it (which works as it should), I get very poor image quality watching it on my TV. The images have red shadows that stretch and cover the faces. Some of the pictures are just more red than they should be, but others are just terrible. Even using the highest quality encoding, the problem persists. PLEASE HELP. Thank you.

    Hi
    a. make a DiskImage first and test this with Apple DVD-player.
    (File menu and down "Make a DiskImage")
    b. I only use streamingDV - no .m4v or like (may be it works - I don't know)
    else
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
    iDVD pref file resides. Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named.
    com.apple.iDVD.plist
    While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iDVD.
    • Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
    • Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
    • Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
    iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
    Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
    I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
    emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
    and I am up and running.
    If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !

  • Hi all, my first time on.  I shared my imovie project to Media Browser.  Fine.  Then after it downloaded it 'disappeared.'  Where did it go?  Having found it, how do I then share it with idvd?  I am told the image quality will be much better this route.

    Hi
    I do
    • In iMovie - select a project
    • Share to Media Browser and as Large (not HD or other res.)
    • Close iMovie
    • Open iDVD and select to start a New iDVD Project
    • Import movie - from Media button - down to the right - and here from Movies

  • Poor Image Quality -- Design View & Published Content (CP8)

    If I prepare a high-quality image, picture perfect, sharp, sized to let's say 500 x 500 px in Photoshop  (max JPG quality setting) and then dump into Captivate, I find that Captivate significantly degrades the image quality.  It changes the sharpness of the image and destroys exposure settings like colour saturation and hue.  Even if I publish to an LMS with 24-bit, no compression, it still looks degraded.
    Is there any way to improve image quality?

    I am on PC, not on Mac and have used this feature all the time since (not totally sure) version 5. Maybe it is a Mac bug?
    This is a screenshot, I imported a Photoshop file 'IconsTips' and choose to import Layers as images, you'll see the folder with 6 images.

  • *** Still trying to get good HDV to DVD image quality

    Okay, so I thought I had a good solution, but I'm now back to square one. I'm shooting and editing in HDV with a Sony Z1U. I edit by using Final Cut Pro, 1 monitor and my 32" LCD tv (native resolution of 1366x768). While editing the image, and especially the text looks crystal clear.....beautiful.
    My problem is outputting it to DVD. Currently, I am exporting my project directly from the timeline of FCP into compressor using the 90 minutes best quality 16:9. This gives my a 2pass VBR at 6.4mbps.
    On a tube tv, it looks so-so, but it appears as though almost as if the lines are out of resigster. It reminds me of reading a newspaper where the print is off register. Definitely you can see interlacing around people and the text looks off register.
    In DVD format on my LCD flat panel it looks really good (the best it can look).
    On my 60" Sony SXRD new tv at home it looks really bad (granted I'm using a Playstation 2 to show it, and on the flat panel I'm using a DVD player with upconversion capabilities - maybe that's the solution right there....)
    Currently I'm not adjusting the presets in Compressor.
    Given all the variables above, is there anything that anyone can suggest that will give me better results? I don't want to import the footage in SD because then I'm editing SD and can never output the finished project as HDV when Blu-ray or HD-DVD comes out.
    I would really appreciate some other workarounds that people have used to try and make their HDV footage look as best as possible in DVD format.
    The frustrating thing is that you never know what TV your clients are watching your project on. Is there a standard set up that I could suggest they buy/use to get the best results?
    P.S. When watching my project on the 60" SXRD I'm not only using a Playstation 2, but also it is connected through an S-Video cable. On the LCD flat panel, I'm using the up-converting DVD player and an HDMI to HDMI cord....Does the cord/way of connecting really make that much of a difference? How do I make it still look good for people that want to watch it letterboxed on a tube tv?

    It's not the upconverting as much as the limitations of S-Video connections. And for true upconverting, you need to utilize the HDMI connection, which will produce better results over component, and qualitatively better over S Video.
    As to client complaints as to image quality, my analog of the weakest link still holds. I always show my clients what it looks like on a good DVD player with at least component in to progressive conversion.
    If their set up produces less, you simply identify what part of their set up is suspect.
    Good quality blanks. Solid encode rates, and Dolby 2/ac3 audio.
    Again, it has to be good going in
    take care,
    and I would appreciate it if you could award points.
    It helps us all out.

  • How to create portrait (vertical) page layout in Captivate 8's Responsive Project?

    In Cp8's Responsive Project feature, the page layout for "Primary" and "Tablet" are landscape. What if I want to create slides of a portrait (vertical) layout? In the "Primary" (PC) layout, I've tried to dragged the border of the stage to the minimum width and the maximum height allowed. But it doesn't seem to me like the right solution.

    Thanks for your reply, Lilybiri.

  • Changing Captivate 8 responsive projects from "desktop first" to "mobile first"

    Dear Captivate team and fellow users,
    when designing responsive projects in CP8 (or 8.0.1.242) the standard behaviour is that changes on the desktop-version are heritaged / copied to the tablet and mobile view. So the desktop-view and desktop-options are the parent, tablet is the child and phone is the grandchild.
    This is quite handy, but often one needs to approach the content development other way round: design "mobile first" and the settings done here should be transfered to the bigger screen sizes of tablet and desktop. Is this feature somehow implemented or planned?
    Thanks in advance and best regards
    Philip

    Hey Lilybiri,
    I have just posted the feature request. Thank you for coming back on me this fast.
    Best wishes
    Philip
    Copy of feature request:
    *******Enhancement / FMR*********
    1) Brief title for your desired feature:
    From "Desktop first" to "Mobile first"
    2)  How would you like the feature to work?
    Dear Captivate team and fellow users,
    when designing responsive projects in CP8  the standard behaviour is that changes on the desktop-version are heritaged / copied to the tablet and mobile view. So the desktop-view and desktop-options are the parent, tablet is the child and phone is the grandchild.
    This is quite handy, but often one needs to approach the content development other way round: design "mobile first" and the settings done here should be transfered to the bigger screen sizes of tablet and desktop.
    3)  Why is this feature important to you?
    Mobile first is usually the more important way when designing eLearning which shall be shown on mobiles. As tablets and desktops might not need too much of an adaption regarding font and image size, the screen size of mobiles is quite limited. Therefore it often makes sense for us to start from the mobile perspective and design the "basic needs" and then go up to tablet and desktop and think about what might make sense to be added to the additional space.

  • Image quality issues - Sony Handycam (MPEG) to iMovie / iDVD

    I have read through dozens of posts but the recommendations vary widely and am hoping I can get some guidance specific to my situation. The image quality I am getting from home movies I edit in iMovie11 and burn to DVD in iDVD are far inferior to the original material.
    I have a Sony DCR-TRV17. This camera is a little over 10 years old. It is a miniDV with 500 lines resolution, 680K gross pixels and uses MPEG. While not HD, the image quality is exceptional. The DVDs I used to create using my Sony Viao likewise looked fantastic. But the results I get from iMovie and iDVD are on par with VHS -- very poor, especially in low-light.
    I hope the issue is just the settings when I import, edit (iMovie) and share to iDVD. I generally use the default settings, and often alternate settings don't seem to be selectable. It also sounds from other posts like iMovie sacrifices quality for reduced file size and increased simplicity? I would appreciate help with the following:
    1) Please list the settings I should be adjusting from default when I  a) import, b) edit in iMovie11 and c) share to iDVD and burn -- and the recommended settings for each
    2) Is there a process I should be trying? Should I be creating test DVDs using different settings at each stage and then reviewing various setting combinations to find the best one?
    3) I will most probably buy an HD camcorder very soon, and plan to burn to Blue Rays. I have no problem with going ahead and buying Final Cut and an external drive to burn Blue Rays. Should I just go ahead and do it and get away from iMovie / iDVD entirely. Will Final Cut solve this issue for my old miniDVs without a whole lot of hair pulling? Or will I still have to tinker with a bunch of settings or convoluted processes to get it "right." I never had to tinker with settings on my Viao. Really expected Mac software to be more user friendly…
    Thanks very much for any help or advice!

    On Import you could try unchecking Optimize video and choose Full Size. Your disk space however will get eaten up incredibly quickly choosing these settings as each hour of video = 40GBytes of disk space. So be forewarned about how big those files will expand as they come off the MiniDV tapes.
    Another thing you will immediately see a difference in is how you move files from iMovie to iDVD. Share to iDVD while named in an intuitive way, is NOT the best way to get good quality DVDs out of iMovie. Instead you want to Share to Media Browser. Choose the Large Size setting. Then quit iMovie. Open iDVD, click the Media button, the Movies button. Find your project listed under the iMovie star icon and drag it into the iDVD project. Burn the Disc and see if you get a higher quality disk by Sharing to Media Browser instead of Share to iDVD.
    If you choose a Blu-Ray burner, also get a copy of Roxio Toast. The encoding to Blu-ray that Toast provides will be top notch and prevent you from making mistakes as the recordable Blu-ray disks are more expensive than DVDs. So every mistake will be expensive.

  • I'm thinking of using Final Cut Pro to straighten slightly crooked footage and then re-import back to iMovie to complete the video. Does this have any impact on image quality?

    I'm thinking of using Final Cut Pro to straighten slightly crooked footage and then re-import back to iMovie to complete the video. Does this have any impact on image quality?

    As your rotate the image, you will begin to see black edges. So, as Tom implies, the image must be scaled up to hide those voids. If you shot 4k ad are editing in a HD timeline, no problem, lots of room to spare. If you shot 1080 and are editing in a 1080 timeline, you will run into issues at a certain point. However, if your 1080 project is going to be transcoded to 720 or ye olde DVD you won't notice any deterioration at all.

  • Importing a word-document to RH11 for output as WebHelp (Image-Quality)

    Hello guys,
    i have a problem with importing word-documents to RH11. It is not a problem with the process itself, but with the settings. After importing the documents to RH11 the image quality is absolutly messed up. The resolution is not even half of the original and its blurry. It seems to be that RH11 only takes a "screenshot" of the picture within the word document instead of importing the original high quality image.
    I am generating a manual and therefor im going to export the project as WebHelp Pro. My inconvinient solution is to export the high quality images from the word document manually and replace the messy pictures in the WebHelpPro folders. As you can imagin this is going to take a lot of time and resources while the project is getting bigger.
    Hopefully you can help me.
    Best regards from Germany and please pardon my English :-)

    So you are putting the image into Rh at 100% and then shrinking it there, correct?
    How are you shrinking it?
    If you are going to Image Properties and resizing there, you will get poorer results.
    Go to View > Pods > Tools > ReSize and you will get better results.
    Or use SnagIt.

  • Image quality in iMovie

    Hi guys,
    I am trying to use iMovie to put together a slide show (I am a wildlife photographer) and it seems great for the job
    There are a couple of bugs within iMovie itself but mostly no big deal, except for one that is bugging me.
    The images I have generated are perfect quality when viewed in Adobe Lightroom, iPhoto or any other app, but in iMovie there appear to be far fewer colours so that (for example) the sky in an image is heavily pixelated. I can only guess there are fewer colours in the image.
    I am confused because in one of the articles I read it claimed that iMovie was directly accessing the file on disk.
    I simply dragged and dropped the hi-res images (they are all between 5 and 15 meg size) into iMovie.
    Has anyone else come across this? How can I make the images in iMovie look proper so that I can export the

    Are our events all co-mingled? Since ownership is ignored I assume we can see each other's video clips? This seems pretty messy to me and prevents any sort of privacy. In fact this basically breaks the whole user model.
    Since still images are not stored as an event in iMovie '08, adding an image from iPhoto, your desktop, etc. adds a copy of the file to you project to serve as the "source" for later export of your project. In addition, since there is a maximum size associated with your project, this "stored" image may be scaled if the original height is greater than 1080 pixels. Therefore, my recommendation was to actually look at the "stored, scaled" file in your project so as to compare it with your original files to see there there was any loss in image quality. You can manually open the project "package" using the "contextual" menu option "Show Package Contents" at the Finder level.
    I opened it in iMovie but can't see that option nor an option for setting colours to millions (which would probably solve my problem).
    The ideal here is to open the file stored in your project and look at it in the QT Player for comparison with the original file. When I said "color depth should be millions," I was referring to the color depth you should find in the inspector window when you open the files in the QT player. Both should normally read "millions" unless you saved them otherwise.

  • Really bad image quality when burning

    Hi, i am very new at this discussion thing and am a french speaker so hope i do this ansking question ok.
    I'm having problems with image quality of my 1h46 min movie imported from imovie (initially from quicktime made from final cut pro). I am having pixelly images when camera is moving... Although have read some things about this on the forum none of the answers seem to resolve my problem.
    I have selected best quality in my prefs but with no success. I figure it's a compression / codec problem but i do not have a clue about all this technical stuff. I don't know what next move i should make.
    Thanks for any help...

    Hi ! Thanx for responding...
    In FCP i did choose export DV/NTSC and imported from camera with apple firewire NTSC (720x480). Should i have imported material in (640x480/30fps/interlaced...) ?
    I have had this problem with smaller projects of 20 min of video also so i don't think it has to do with size... At the moment i am making a disc image of my dvd on my desktop hoping to burn through Toast. Otherwise i am also thinking about exporting movie from FCP to tape then importing back to iMov through camera...
    I'm kind of desperate and don't really know what to do... I'm also gonna start reading compressor 2 and maybe forget about iDVD an d just burn it through toast. Wich is kind of dissapointing cause without interface, menu and all...
