Images in FCP X 10.0.8 - blurry on full screen playback

I'm trying to create a documentary of around 30 mins using both photos (Ken Burns effect) and video clips.  Settings are as follows:
I have around about 580 photos all cropped in PS6 to 1700 x 900 px.  Won't be using many of them but have them imported just in case.  The video clips show beautifully on full screen preview, however, the photos are blurred and jagged.  When I tap the space bar and freeze the image, however, they preview just fine.  I have only created around 6 mins at this stage so I tried making a DVD of that portion and there was no problem with the photos showing sharply as they should.  This is rather discerting to say the least and I am a little hesitant to continue until I get some professional advice.  Is this a problem with something I have or have not done in cropping/resizing the images (they are all around about 5 mbs and many taken from CR2 files) or is this a problem with this version of FCP X 10.0.8?  Has anybody else experienced this problem?  And since the 6 mins rendered and created a final DVD without any problem should I just proceed as is?  Finally, I am using a MacBook Pro 15in - now 2 years old if that should make any difference.
Thanking you,

Thank you so very, very much. Changing that preference solved the problem.  What a relief.

  • How do I reformat the size of images and text on page to fit in normal full screen?

    Recently my computer crashed due to age. I can reboot the system and have done so reinstalling all programs using Windows. I have Firefox that I use but my homepage is set to aol as this is my email address. IT was on Sunday evening Dec. 26th that my computer was rebooted after having been out of commission for a month. I just did not have time to do it sooner due to holidays. My problem is that when I got my homepage, which was the Mozilla Get Started introductory page, the images were absolutely huge. I can see what I am supposed to, however, it looks like the images have been zoomed in so many times. I don't like this. I want my pages to display images as normal size for full screen mode. I have tried using the View tab and choosing the zoom option, but it does virtually no good-if I zoom out you can still see things like images but print is too tiny and blurry. Again, never have I enlarged the font, pics, or anything else for the matter. I like my settings on fonts to be standard (10-14) depending on what I am seeing. I don't understand why this happened. This is the first time I am seeing this issue ever and need help. If I want to see all of my page I have to scroll horizontally and vertically in order to see it all. I want to see it all at one time. I have never encountered this problem before. Can anyone help me? I would appreciate someone contacting me soon via email of [email protected] denoting to me an appointment time I can log on and get live chat help for this. Please let me know if this can be done or if I need to just try to live with it. Thank you for you help in this in advance and I look forward to hearing from my pals at Firefox because the staff have always been very helpful in past issues needing help on my end. Have a Happy New Year of 2011. By the way, I know that the box below has options of stating when this has happened and how many times, but I can say it has happened only once being now. I assume, and assumptions are slippery indeed, that if this happened now that it will in future times. So, for sake of answering the box below I will choose "once."

    Hit Ctrl+0 (That's a zero, by the way). I'm not sure if it will work, but hey, that's the first thing I would try.

  • Gallery Images: How to make clear PNG's open in full screen with a white background?

    Hi,
    So in the Life on Earth textbook, there is an image of an ant that has no background, so when you pick it up, you can see the text below without the standard "white box" around it.
    I've scorwed the internet looking for answers but couldn't find any.
    Please see the photos snapped from my phone of this:
    Unfortunately... When I try to achive this, my images open on a black background.
    I can achive the pick up.
    Would really appreicate the help. Thanks...
    Grant

    Well, if I put a white background in my image, it opens in full screen with a white background. But has a white square when I pick it up:
    This is with a 2028 x 1496 image same as above, just no background - came out of Illustrator - and this has the effect I want, as the first post but still opens to full screen with a black background.
    Thanks for the help... Hope to get this one figured out!

  • In the left hand top I have the current page, beneath that the bookmark toolbar, and beneath that the home page. To the right top is a blurred image of my upper desktop. Cannot get a full screen with Firefox and see no remedy.

    using Windows 7 professional

    That's a very interesting find. A couple people have been reporting this. But we thought it was Google breaking that page on purpose because they plan to remove that special Firefox search page. They think it's too old and want people to switch to the newer one. But I'm still not sure why being signed into Google breaks that page (and signing out fixes it), I believe Google is at fault here and needs to update the code on that page.
    The new Google search page for Firefox is:
    <br>'''about:home'''
    Screenshot:
    <br> http://i.minus.com/iewA9S.PNG
    It's a special page built into the Firefox browser. That's why it has a weird website address that doesn't look like normal websites that use http://www., .com, .net, or .org.

  • Question slide- Launch a full screen image in new window.

    Hi,
    I am using Captivate 4.
    In the question slide (MCQ/ Matching) I want to have a transparent button over a thumbnail image.
    On clicking this button, it lanches a full screen image in a new window.
    The student views the image and answers MCQ,  Matching (droplist)  on the main screen/slide of captivate.
    This new window can then be closed by clicking 'X' on top right corner of the window.
    How to do this?
    Thanks and regards
    Rajan

    Hi there
    Instead of a Transparent Button you should think instead about Click Boxes. But either way, Captivate doesn't allow Buttons or Click Boxes to be inserted on Question Slides.
    However, Captivate does allow you to insert Flash objects on Question slides. So you could develop a Flash object that would carry out the desired actions when clicked. Then insert the object on the Question slide.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Is there a way to edit each frame as an Image in FCP

    Hello Folks,
    Just wondering how can I edit each frame as an image in FCP pro... let's say my cam shoots @ 24fps and I import that to FCP, well how can I import these 24frames into a photo editing program such as PhotoShop so I edit each frame and color correct and stuff like that? Also how would I bring it back each frame to FCP?
    What is this process called? Frame editing? I'm not familiar with this because I was told it is duable, i know in Adobe Premier the frames export to a folder where you can edit each image in watever program you want and bring them back to adobe.
    So how can I do this in FCP?
    Appreciate your great help,
    Joey Dee

    just for clarity:
    whilst there is indeed a direct Export option, there is no direct Import option. For Export: use FCP's File > Export > Using Quicktime Conversion.. >> Image Sequence option
    For Import you can first use Quicktime Player's File > Open Image Sequence... option, and export it out to the codec of the original clip/sequence using the File > Export... option. After that you can then import that clip back into FCP.
    its worth noting that this is not "roundtripping", there is no invisible link between the exported frames and the master clip/sequence

  • Exporting image from FCP 16.9

    i am exporting still images from FCP and they are sqooshed , they look more like 4.3 aspect ratio. i know I converted them to 16.9 on the desktop with preview, but i can't reproduce that...any ideas, I don't want to get graphic converter, it's just a few shots.

    Open them in QT Player 7 then select Window>Show Movie Properties>Video Track.
    Change Scaled Size to the correct figures, deselect Preserve Aspect Ratio and hit return.

  • Reveresing black and white still Photoshop image in FCP?

    is it possible to reverse the black and white of a still photoshop image within FCP? then remove the background apart from the letters?
    need to get a black and white company logo into FCP for use in the credits of this programme - due to a graphic designer being away i've had to scan the image off letterhead! very backwards and not ideal I know - but its a bit of a emergency so any pointer very much appreciated...

    Drag and drop your image from the viewer to the timeline, lets say in V2.
    Right click the logo clip>go to composite mode>select screen.
    That's it. You now have the white text with no black background and whatever is in V1 replaces the black.

  • Blurry full screen image 4.x/5.0/5.2 RC (Develop Module)

    I've created a small youtube video showing how the image goes blurry when hitting F for full screen.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bI0GGFgE7Y8
    I've zoomed to 1:1 and then hit F in this case.  It's tempermental, it's not something that happens 100% of the time.  I'd say more like 85%.
    I've also seen it be sharp after hitting F and then go blurry when I try to pan left or right on the full screen image.
    This issue really makes a dedicated monitor for full screen images when developing useless.

    I'm not the only one having this problem:

  • Reflecting Images in FCP

    Is there a way to add a Reflection effect to a picture (still image) in FCP like there is in Keynote and Pages?
    Thanks

    I see how that works...thanks. Is there a way to make a softer reflection? I really like the one in Pages and Keynote. It adds a small gap between the image and the reflection. It also only shows less than the first 1/3 of the reflection as opposed to 100% of the reflection. Almost as if the image is sitting on a highly polished floor.
    Can that be done? I know I could screen capture the image with the effect straight out of Pages, but this will be very time consuming with nearly 100 photos....

  • Full screen preview and slideshow are blurry / fuzzy

    Hi folks-
    I just upgraded from CS2 to CS4, in part to improve efficiency of selecting photos - I wanted the zoom and loupe features. Unfortunately a very basic function has been compromised and I'm hoping there's a solution: In both full-screen preview and slideshow the full-screen image is notably blurry. This is a problem for two reasons: 1. I can't judge pictures accurately by just flipping through them in full-screen mode (without zooming to 100% to see if they are well-focused). 2. I can't use Slideshow for, well, slideshows. I've had to resort to keeping another app (like Windows Picture Viewer) open just to be able to quickly flip through and evaluate images full-screen or to show slideshows.
    I've tried setting all the options related to image quality (they mostly have to do with caching thumbnails and speeding 100% viewing); I've tried purging the cache files. Nothing helps.
    Any ideas?  Thanks!

    It seems to me that there is something wrong with it.
    I am trying Bridge CS4 as a viewer for my JPEG files.
    I also noticed that the previews were fuzzy. I activated the high-quality previews as well as the option to generate the previews at screen size.
    Here's what I noticed. I went to check out a specific photo that is quite sharp with a number of straight lines, angles, details, where it's very easy to detect a lack of sharpness. That photo immediately looked fuzzy to me, which didn't jive with my memory of it. I quickly opened it in other viewers, which displayed it as intended with all the expected sharpness.
    So, I went through the settings to see where the problem could be and I immediately thought of checking the box to get software previews instead of hardware, restarted the app, purged the cache, tried again. There my photo had recovered its sharpness, or at least most of it. I thought I found the culprit, but not quite.
    I went to browse other photos and found one in particular with a lot of fine detail (hair) and that photo also didn't display all the sharpness that it should have (I was still using software mode). The difference was very slight and to make sure of it it required A/B comparison between Bridge and PS, but there was a difference.
    Now I tried the opposite. I went back to hardware rendering mode, restarted, purged the cache, tried again. That second photo looked alright in preview, but the previous photo looked fuzzy again.
    So, it doesn't work the same way for each photo...
    What's the main difference between the first photo, obviously fuzzy in hardware mode, and the second one, alright in hardware mode but slightly fuzzier in software? The ratio. The first one is a vertical photo, the second one is horizontal (close to square).
    I quickly checked other vertical photos and they showed the same behavior...
    Now staying in hardware mode, I noticed something else. When I preview the vertical photo and click on it, or double click, it quickly jumps, switching between 2 versions of the photo: the one displayed originally (fuzzy) and another one, with a very slightly different size, which is sharp. During that manipulation it also briefly displays "100%" at the top of the screen. It doesn't stick when you click and immediately switches back, so it looks like a glitch.
    Now in software mode, I tried the same, this time you can click once on the photo (which is originally displayed *almost* sharp). When you click once, it displays "100%" but also displays a very slightly smaller version that is clearly fuzzy. Clicking again goes back to the other, less fuzzy one, but doesn't display "100%" this time.
    Doing the same test on horizontal photos shows no change that I can see.
    So, it seems to me that in the preview mode, Bridge has trouble displaying some photos (vertical ones?) in their actual resolution (100%)
    and since there is a slight resizing going on, it brings fuzziness. This doesn't explain the very slight fuzziness seen on horizontal photos in software mode.
    Now I'll mention, for those still awake, that I saw no fuzziness on the same vertical photos when I go to Review Mode with *hardware* rendering. Photos there are sharp. Now if I go to the review mode with software rendering enabled, vertical photos are not 100% sharp (akin to the small difference I mentioned earlier while in software mode), while they are sharper in preview.
    To sum up, it seems that the only configuration that gives me consistently 100% sharp (=as they were meant to be after post-processing) photos no matter what their orientation, is when I stay in hardware rendering mode and use the Review Mode, instead of preview.
    This all really smells like a bug.
    For info, I am using Windows 7 and an ATI HD4850 card, and this only about processed JPEG files, not RAW files.
    Perhaps the preview is really meant as a quick preview and not a tool to view final photos at 100% accuracy...

  • Soft images in Bridge full screen preview

    This has seemed to plague Bridge for a couple of years now… thought that the CS6 update would fix it. This is reproducible on a variety of Macs with and without external displays, all running the latest OS and Adobe updates.
    With 100% previews selected in the preferences and a recently purged cache, browse to a directory of images.
    Preview the first image by selecting it and pressing the space bar:
    Arrow to the right to preview the second image in the folder. Then arrow left to review the original image:
    Notice how blurry it becomes. And subsequent images are rendered blurry.
    Hit the escape key to exit and space bar again to re-enter the full screen preview.
    There is possibly some non integral sub-pixel calculations going on, making the image blurry. Clicking once on the image brings up a 100% label at the top and the image almost corrects itself.
    This should be a priority one fix.
    What is Bridge? Adobe® Bridge CS6 digital asset management software is a powerful photo and design organizer that provides centralized access to all your creative blurry assets.

    Welcome to my world. If you search a bit, you should find a few discussions on related topics.
    Your problem sounds like something I see intermittently. Occasionally, Bridge seems incapable of generating a decent full-screen preview. I generally work around this by purging the folder's cache and/or restarting Bridge.
    CS6's Bridge has been reworked quite a lot. It's now 64-bit, and the internal database has been changed to a different system. However, I still see Bridge generating thumbnails and previews unnecessarily, which suggests to me that more work needs to be done.
    One thing I learned recently is that Bridge uses the graphcs hardware to generate previews, so it may be worth trying the Use Software Rendering setting in Preferences (if there is one on CS6 for Mac), to see if it makes any difference. If it did, you may have an issue with your graphics cards and/or software and/or settings.

    If this is the message you got, and you clicked OK, then your clip properties don't match your project settings. Verify by hitting command-j and if that's the case, click modify settings and change it.
