Imported PNG made in Illustrator looks terrible in AE

Hi,
I made a PNG at the size of my video 1920 x 1080 saved it for web and devices in Illustrator and when I import it in AE the graphics look terrible.
The same PNG imported in Premiere looks perfect.
What can be the reason?!
Thanks! David

Save it as an eps or illustrator document for AE.

  • Importing AVCHD and the quality looks terrible

    I just tried importing my Canon Vixia HFG10 HD video clips and the results look terrible.  They look really good on the camera but in Premiere Pro 5.5 they don't.
    I loaded the clips in the media browser and did a new-sequence-from-clip to match all of the specs.
    Any thoughts?
    My inital browsing for solutions recommended buying some converters but after buying PP and a top-line camera I am not too jazzed about going to the wife and saying I need to buy more.

    So people don't have to ask, it is a good idea to post at least a short list of your hardware

  • Imported pictures look terrible

    Has anybody noticed that imported pictures from iPhoto look terrible? They're all jagged and blurry. This same issue happened with iMovie 4, I think it was, and then was fixed in iMovie 5 and now it seems to be back again.

    Not a solution, but you'll find some feedback I got from my posting (jean-Claude) dated feb 5th, 06 ... "jagerred lines on slides show". I find that the problem seems to be getting worse as time goes by, and it's driving me crazy !!!

  • Problems with PNG colors in illustrator

    I'm beyond frustrated with illustrator's png export at this point, contacted adobe customer service 3-4 times with no answer, already made a post about this with no solution, here is the problem; everytime I export from illustrator as a png the color changes. It doesn't matter if I am working in RGB or cmyk, the color will always change, typically the colors just look faded/ less saturated. There is no way for me to match the color of an exported jpeg to an exported png. This is a problem because when I give my clients their logo in png I need to import it into photoshop or preview to change the color coding so that it matches the previous jpegs I would sent them, now while working with packaging (cmyk document) the png export looks pretty faded, but it prints fine. Is this typical? My in illustrator colors look fine and are the same as my jpeg exports, the only thing that has a different color look is png exports, no matter if I choose embed color profile (save for web), assign profile, bascially any color choosing option in illustrator. I'm wondering what does everyone else do when their client wants the logo in a png? Do you just work around this with assigning a profile in a program other than illustrator?

    I am afraid that the workaround is all you can do at the moment; open the png file in Photoshop and assign sRGB profile (you can set the Ask when Opening for missing profiles in the Photoshop color settings).
    There is no way to embed a color profile in a .png file in Illustrator (like you can in Photoshop's Save for Web dialog)
    But that looks like a good feature request:

  • Poor quality of PNGs exported from Illustrator, in documents that are then PDF'd

    Hi All,
    This is a strange one, which has taken up a lot of time to try to solve.
    I crreated a package of variants on the company logo and exported them from Illustrator as PNGs. I even tried them at 150dpi - then 600dpi.
    When I put them into MS Word or Apache Open Office documents they look perfect: sharp, crisp, perfect curves. Hurrah!
    However, when I export those text documents as PDFs from MS Word or Open Office, the logos look terrible and ragged.
    I have all the settings correct when I export as PDF - lossless compression, print quality etc. If the logos are SVG images [vector], they are perfect PDF'd from Open Office but I can't use those in MS Office. Aggh!
    After a lot of experimentation and discussion over at Apache's forums - there was no solution, until...
    I pasted the logo artwork from Illustrator into Fireworks - of all things - and saved it as a 300dpi flat PNG from Fireworks. That PNG works perfectly when in a document that's exported as a PDF. I wouldn't be at all surprised if one from Photoshop would be good too.
    So - I think that - the common denominator/crux of the matter is the PNG files that are created by Illustrator. They appear great inserted into documents but don't survive a subsequent PDF export well at all.
    I'd love to read any comments on this?
    [Also, for laughs, I tried high res/high quality TIFFs and JPEGs from Illustrator, and had the same problem]

    Hi John M,
    Microsoft .WMF format. [.WTF?] is pretty good in the resultant PDF. However, when you zoom in to the PDF, the curves get a bit rounded-polygonal, in a smooth-bumpy way. Odd - not a huge issue unless people zoom in. However, it is evident if they print it. And they will.
    Right. What you're seeing there is the Windows Metafile format's lack of support for bezier curves. Close inspection reveals curves that are made up of many small straight line segments.
    However...
    That's why I asked about platform. Running Windows, it's possible to Copy from Illustrator and Paste Special > Enhanced Metafile in MS Office apps. With that procedure, the result is vectors that land in Office without the full WMF conversion and resulting segmentation.
    To demonstrate; I made a small circle in Illustrator with a black stroke and yellow fill.
         1. I exported to WMF, then inserted in Word and exported to PDF.
         2. I copied from Illustrator and used Paste Special > Enhanced Metafile in Word, then exported to PDF
    Compare the results (zoomed to a quadrant in Acrobat):

  • Png exported from Illustrator is 1px too big - why?

    Hi,
    I have designed a button for a GUI at 80px by 49px within an artboard that is exactly the same size.
    I have exported the artboard as a .png.
    When I look at the .png details in Adobe bridge it shows the dimensions as 81px by 50px (1px bigger in both directions.
    I have imported this .png into my wireframing software (Axure) and this confirms that the .png is 81x40px.
    Why is Illustrator changing the size?
    Thanks

    Is now!
    Sorry it's been a while and I totally forgot about that
    Doh

  • Font rendering looks terrible

    I have the Firefox 26.0 running on Windows 7 Ultimate and have noticed that the font rendering often looks terrible. For example, have a look at the lower left title on the New York Times:
    http://webspace.lenscritic.com/firefox/2.png
    Interestingly, when the page is first rendering I get a split second where it looks fine, but then it quickly changes to what you see above. Here's what it looks like in the early stages of rendering when it looks fine:
    http://webspace.lenscritic.com/firefox/1.png
    I have tried disabling hardware acceleration (in Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing) as well as setting the gfx.content.azure.enabled pref to false and gfx.direct2d.disabled pref to true, none of which made any difference.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Poor resolution on imported .png graphics

    Hello fellow Pages users:
    I am importing .png graphics made in an opensource drawing program. The original graphics are .svgs and then they are converted to .png graphics. When I look at the graphics in Preview they look fine, but when I drag them into Pages they become 'fuzzy' looking.
    Does anyone have any idea why this is hapenning or what I can do about it.
    Any help will be VERY much appreciated!!

    SVGs are vector graphics. They are rasterized when you save as PNG. Try converting to PDF instead of PNG.

  • Dotted Stroke created in Indesign look terrible in pdf...

    Help.
    I'm creating dotted strokes in InDesign, which when exported (or distilled) to a pdf look terrible - no Anti-aliasing.
    This can be fixed by creating the same shapes in Illustrator, expanding the stroke, then placing that file in InDesign. But that means each shape has to be re-created in Illustrator each time - which is not a good solution as I am setting up templates for other agencies around the world to use. Editing and creating these strokes in InDesign is the only solution. However, it doesn't seem possible to 'expand' the stroke in InDesign prior to creating the pdf...
    ...any ideas?
    Thanks

    This is a screen issue only, depending on the local Acrobat/Reader settings in antialiasing vector objects.
    BTW: Don't use Distiller or any other Postscript like EPS anymore, use only export.

  • Text looks terrible!

    I just got my new Mac Pro up and running and I'm finding that when I use text (either imported from LiveType or text in FCP) the lettering looks terrible. Very pixelated. I've tried rendering it but that doesn't help. Right now I'm only looking at it on my Cinema Display, but even so, it should look clean, shouldn't it?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.
    Jamie

    Set your viewer and canvas windows to 100%. Right now they are most likely at Fit to window. You are only viewing one field and anything other than 100%.
    You do this at the view menu top of either viewer or canvas, depending on which window you are using, and it is the left button of a group of three buttons in the center of the window.

  • Movie looks terrible when exported. Help!

    So i just got back into some video work. I used to know how to video edit, but there has been some time between my once educated stage and now.
    To get myself going I installed this old program and used a few files that I took from youtube. I converted the files to WMV's and began to cut away. After some considerable manipulation, music added and what not, i decided to export my project.
    Here then enlies my probelm; every time I go to export the project the video looks terrible. The quality is degraded, the cuts between scenes are slower, and what is perhaps most annoying, is that anywhere a clip was manipulated ie (slowed down, reversed, whatever) the size of the clip shrinks to about half the size.
    I can't figure out what is wrong, but then again I barely know anything about this program. What could be wrong? The project looks great on the time line. It's only when its rendered or exported that it gets all messed up. The clips are from youtube. the music is just an mp3. Is the footage just not high enough quality? Is the program I have too old? Any information regarding a solution to these problems would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if this is a stupid question.

    Do you have any other suggestions or advice pertaining to my situation?
    Two:
    1.) Use G-Spot to tell you what CODEC is used, and possibly use a different conversion program to get the material into Premiere.
    2.) Use a program like one from Moyea, or FLV to AVI. The conversion from FLV to another highly compressed CODEC like you probably used for the WMV will destroy any quality that you might have had.
    If you had PrPro 1.5, or later, Moyea makes a plug-in to Import and edit FLV within PrPro. You might want to contact them, just to check if your version, known as PrPro 1.0 in most circles, will work with their plug-in. In PrPro 2.0, the Moyea plug-in works fine. However, when starting with FLV's quality is ALWAYS going to be an issue. There is no way around this.
    Copyright issues totally aside, you'd be better off working from a ripped DVD of that Disney production. Do consider copyright issues long and hard. Won't go into the legal issues, but they should be considered.
    Good luck,

  • Edited video quality looks terrible!

    I am seriously confused... Take a loot at the photo. On the left is the viewer and on the right is the canvas.
    I have filmed with an HD video (5D MKIII) yet why is it, when I edit this specific part of the video it goes so poor quality?
    I have changed all the playback settings to full quality and HD. I even tried to export it and it came out poor quality as well!
    Befire rendering it looked fine, yet when it has been rendered it looks terrible. When I view it for editing it also looks fine (as you can see) but in the canvas it looks terrible again.
    Why is it doing this and is there a way to fix it?
    Thanks

    That could be the problem... where it says 'Quicktime Video settings' that was set on H.264. I haven't converted my .mov files to ProRes no...
    I'm guessing I'd need to convert them then import them and edit them all again then?
    Thanks for the reply

  • Design in flash or import png files

    Hi,
    I'm having someone help with the design of my site.
    He wants to give me png files for the graphics.
    Won't that increase the file size?
    Would it be better if he designed the graphics in flash
    instead of importing png files?
    Just wondering which way is recommended.
    Thanks.

    depends on the design, the images, style, file size concerns
    - yes you are right, file size will
    usually increase with imported bitmaps - and if they contain
    alpha, then processor/performance
    issues may arise.
    Also consider that flash does not handle bitmaps very well
    unless they yare at 100% with no rotation
    - so hopefully you won't need to scale or rotate them.
    If the graphics can be made with vectors, then i recommend
    it.

  • Having an imported image show in Illustrator as it shows in photoshop ?

    Hello,
    I'm having problems with the appearance of imported images in Illustrator:
    I first created an image in Photoshop that I planned on using as a background for an illustration,
    and then import it in Illustrator.
    Once imported in Illustrator, it doesn't look the same at all…
    I'm running on Mac os 10.8.5 and Illustrator and Photoshop cc.
    Here is a sample of how different it looks.…
    Left, illustrator, right, photoshop.
    Both files in Photoshop and Illustrator are RVB (also tried with both in CMYK).
    I tried importing jpg, tifs, psd… same problem.
    I tried importing the imported image in a new Illustrator file. Same problem.
    No effect is applied to the image, it is just imported and that's all.
    Any ideas on what is happening?
    Thanks in advance for your answers!
    Keth.

    In Illustrator look in preferences for the option "Smooth Bitmap images in Preview" (or the like, I'm not sure about the wording) and select it.
