Importing a high definition clip, fps 25, from Koyote screen capture, becomes bad in Elements

Hi,
I am running Adobe Elements 11 and have one irritating problem. I make a perfect on screen recording but when I import the .avi to elements some things just become poor. For example when I scroll a window while recording it just becomes a weird buzz and laggy. The raw file is flawless but when imported this happens.
Thankful for any help,
Arash

Screen capture software sometimes/often/??? uses ODD information in the video file that causes problems when trying to edit

Importing a high-definition clip produces a timeline much longer than the video

I have begun importing high-definition clips in MOV format into my Premier CS4. I use a hard-disk based video recorder ( a DTE technology FS-100) whichbreaks the video up into 2GB clips each with a duration of 2 minutes, 18 seconds. and 8 frames (2:18.8). However, Premier thinks that the clip is about 37 minutes long. When I play the clip in the editor, the video freezes and the sound stops at 2:18.8 with the remaining ~35 minutes showing the same frame.
I can get around this by manually cutting each clip down to 2:18.8, but I shouldn't have to do this. By the way, when I import standard definition video from the same recorder I don't have this problem; Premier determines the correct length of the clip.
Any ideas of what is going on and how to correct?
Thanks!

I thought it was a little odd though as you can re-time the clip through the properties menu of the clip and the audio links with it and slows down. I had jsut hoped the same would apply when I just tried using a smoother effect on it.
Thanks for your help anyway.

Importing in high definition tape in 1080i / 480i/widescreen dv

Using Imovie 6HD importing a high definition tape - when i imported in dv - letterboxing (don't want that) came on - what is the difference of importing in the other settings??
1080i
480i
widescreen dv
please advice need to import a few tapes and not sure how to set imovie.
thanks,

if you arer importing and HD is not on in IM then you have DV lock set to "on" in your videocam thus you're not importing in HD. LtrBx happens to me only when I import into DV widescreen, which is not HD. Don't do 480i . . . Just experiment with each to see how it goes. Testing yourself is the best way to learn.

How to create a full phone image from a Screen Capture?

I have an app that I'm trying to market and want to use a full image of the iPhone with screen shots from my app
The image would look similar to this
http://draykenobi.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/iphone-app-store1.jpg
The difference is that my screen capture would be shown on the iPhone. I know how to do the screen capture, but I really like the look with the phone around it.
I have photoshop, but can't seem to find any templates where I could just add my screen shot into the psd.
Does anyone know of how I can achieve this easily. Maybe there's an app that does this?
Thanks

+++ Photos imported from iPhoto to imovie6 become bad quality.

Although imovie 6 is caught up with a sum of disadvantages of imovie
5, I observe a new disadvantage which did not exist before.
With knowknowing:
In the "multi-media" mitre + "photographs", when I import
a photograph from iphoto, I observe that the image which is transcribed
in the screen of the visual display of imovie 6 is of a perfect
quality.
For example, a photograph taken with 3,5 Méga pixels with a
weight of 2 Mo. PRECISION : !!!!!! ( FORMAT IS JPEG ) !!!!!
The image is perfect, and in the internal adjustments
with imovie 6 that they are with or without the effect Ken Burns,
it seems the original.
However when I decide to apply it in the
timeline and that I it replay in the visual display, I note that the
quality of the image was strongly degraded ( very bad quality).
There are somebody in the specialists or the helpers who can give me explanations and how to cure that,
because this disadvantage is strongly regrettable and detrimental for me.
Thanks to you.

The main point to keep in mind is that before importing your photos, you must have the Ken Burns effect turned on in order to achieve the best quality. Also, remember that the iMovie screen is just there for editing purposes, and does not display the clips at full quality.

Importing High Definition Movies from SonyHDR7 Camcorder

I Movie 08 is only recognizing standard definition movies and will not import my high definition movies. I have imported them before but it no longer works. What has happened? I can see them on my SonyHDR7 camcorder, I know they are there.

• Free space on internal hard disk. How much ?
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
• Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
iMovie pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. *com.apple.iMovie.plist *
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
• Screen must be set to Million-colors
• Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
iMovie updated ?
QuickTime updated ?
Mac OS version ?
• Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
• Program miss-match. iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

Important quality loss in high definition video in Premiere

Hello
I'm working in a series of high definition clips in Premiere CS4, and I noticed a great loss of quality of the videos after rendering, even without applying any filter or special effect.
All of the videos were captured from a Sony HD camcorder in M2T format through HDVSplit. The M2T videos are perfect, with clear and crystalline images, typical of a HD clip.
However, after rendering in Premiere using the MPEG2 Blu-Ray HDTV 1080i or HDTV 720p format with all of the settings in high quality, the resulting video is disappointing, in no way resembling a high definition video. The same occurs using H.264 Blu-ray format, also with all the settings in "high".
The quality of the video is well below the expected, both in 1080i and 720p.
I didn't use any filter in the edition, just trim, simple transitions and some legends. The resulting video shows a significant loss of quality and definition, which resembles more a trivial SD DVD than a video that was totally recorded in high definition.
I believe that it is a codec problem, but I would like to know if somebody already observed this issue, and if some special adjustment or setting exist that I'm missing.
Any contribution is welcome
Thanks
Valter-Brazil

Do you mean rendering the timeline for playback, or rendering the video with a preset for output? You can start by making sure the quality setting in the program monitor is set to highest quality, not draft, or automatic. You can also check the Maximize Render Quality option. See the following taken from Adobe's website:
Maximum Render Quality option
You can improve rendering of motion, improve deinterlacing, and improve scaling of video. Select Maximum Render Quality in your sequence settings or Use Maximum Render Quality in your export settings.
If the resulting video from an export from Premiere is low in quality, then you need to adjust the bitrate settings, or resolution settings.

Need HELP with importing high definition tape

I am using Imovie 6HD - and trying to import a high definition tape from a CanonHV20. After importing the first tape I had a screen saying LETTERBOXING which went on for ever. I noticed it made black border tp/botom on the frames. I don't want that. What should I do - I have more tapes to import.
What settings do I need? As mentioned I used High Definition Tapes so I would like to have a high definition movie/dvd. Also after burning the dvd I suppose I can play that on any tv?? Please help with detail explanation!!
Thanks.

no such thing.. DVDs are allways 'Standard'-only.

Record movie from Canon camcorder in high definition?

I would like for Quicktime Pro (7.6.2) to record high definition (HDV) video directly from my Canon Vixia HV30 camcorder via firewire. I noticed that QT will record regular DV when I switch the camcorder to the regular DV mode, and it recognizes the presence of the camcorder when the camcorder is set into HDV mode, but I won't record video (it gives the error msg "Recording failed because no data was received"). iMovie '08 will record video from the camera in either DV or HDV modes. Does anyone know a way to get QT to record high definition video from this camcorder? Is there a plug-in that might work? I have already installed Perian.
[My ultimate goal is to enable a third party program called LabChart to record HDV video, which uses Quicktime to capture video, while also recording data from the USB bus. This is why I can't just import HDV with iMovie, since it can't sync the video to signals coming in via USB}.
Message was edited by: tritoniadiomedea

With HD being the new standard, do you imagine that they might make QT able to acquire HD soon? Seems that since it plays HD, it should be able to acquire HD too. thanks for your help!

Why isn't my high definition video converting to standard definition?

What I'm describing here, I've successfully accomplished many, many times using Premiere Pro CS5 and now Premiere Pro CS6. Now, for the first time ever, it's not working and I'm completely baffled. (This is a high-end Windows 7 64-Bit machine with 16GB RAM running Premiere Pro CS6.)
Here's a basic summary of my workflow. Nothing out of the ordinary here.
1. I shoot my video using a high definition camcorder (the same one I've been working with for the past year or two.
2. I import my high definition video into a 1920x1080 sequence in Premiere Pro CS6.
3. I edit my sequence until I'm happy.
4. I enter and name my Encore chapter markers in the sequence.
5. I create my Encore project and import the sequence as a timeline and set up my menus and such.
6. I build my Encore project, first into a standard definition DVD image file (so I can later burn SD-DVDs) and then build it again into a high definition Blu-ray image file (so I can later burn Blu-rays).
The Blu-ray burn is turning out just fine.
But the video in the DVD burn is all black. I can jump around from chapter to chapter and I can hear the sound, but the video doesn't show up!
I tried this a couple times thinking that maybe Encore just messed up the SD-DVD creation process but I got the same result each time. When I preview the project in Encore, it all looks just right.
So I figured, okay, something's not working when I import the sequence.
I went back to Premiere Pro thinking I'd just export my 1920x1080 sequence into a widescreen standard definition AVI and create a new sequence just for the standard definition DVD.
The exported AVI is black as well!!
I don't get it. Why on earth won't my high definition video convert properly to standard definition?
The high definition sequence looks completely normal in Premiere Pro. What could I possibly be overlooking??
One final note. Just as another test, I copied and pasted the sequence in Premier Pro, truncated it to a couple minutes (the full sequence is 90 minutes long), and exported to a widescreen AVI again.
It just finished, I tried playing it back in Windows, and it, too, is all black, sound but no video.
Like I said, this is nothing new for me. I've done it countless times with other projects. I could really use some assistance with this one.

So I exported my completed high definition sequence to an MP4 and re-imported back into Premiere Pro. Right-clicked it and created a sequence from the clip. Then I imported my chapters from the old sequence into the new one.
I returned to Encore, modified my project to work off the newly created sequence (what a pain having to recreate all the scene links) and voila, it had no trouble making a DVD this time.
So I guess I'll get out of the bad habit of my old routine and create a sequence the "right" way from now on. Funny how we get used to doing something one way and stop thinking outside the box after a while.
Jim, I don't see how that's necessary. As long as I create an Encore project based on a good high definition sequence, I have never had to do anything other than have Encore build a standard definition DVD based on the high definition sequences. It has always done the conversion for me and produced really good DVDs. Once I create a DVD image that I'm satisfied with, I simply have Encore build a Blu-ray image using the exact same project, and that works perfectly as well. I suppose I may be missing something here but it all works and works well, so I don't see a reason to create two projects when one works well.
On a separate note, is it just me or doesn't everybody think it's high time that Adobe offer a feature to import markers from one sequence into another. I can do it automatically but I have to use a macro that I created separate and apart from Premiere Pro. For that matter, I think Encore should also offer a feature to remap all scene links to a new sequence instead of forcing me to fix them one by one myself.
Anyway, thanks to all of you for pointing me in the right direction!

High Definition

Just upgraded from making iMovies with 30 second clips from a stills camera to making them with a Sony High Definition Camcorder, HDR-HC7E(DV Tape) and would appreciate some advice on a few things regarding the 1080i high definition-I have made a few of these in iMovie and export them back to the camcorder for viewing through an HDTV. Since I have not yet bought the latter, I cannot view in HD.
The first question is what happens to stills(say from iPhoto) imported into an HD project in iMovie. I use stills selectively not only in the canned themes but also with a Ken burns effect to make some point in the movie. Specifically, does iMovie convert the imported still into a high definition clip if the project is high definition and does it matter?
Secondly, when exporting directly back to camcorder or via a file, a menu box pops up at or near the end of the transfer and asks if you want to make another copy. If you click no thanks the camcorder is disconnected. Is this what should happen?
Thirdly, can anybody recommend any useful sites/books for getting the best out of camcorder audio accessories- I have a clip on Lavalier which seems straightforward and substantially improves commentary audio whilst filming but I do not really know how to make the most of the shotgun mike which I also have.
Finally an observation. This camcorder is fantastic and works well with iMovie.

..mmm. delicious..
Where was I..?
Sony's own mics for your camcorder are shown here (click on that link), and they clip onto the camera's 'Accessory Shoe'. Other mics can be plugged into the mic socket at the front of the camcorder.
Note that Sony cams have a 'plug-in power' socket for external microphones: that means that low voltage power is provided inside the microphone socket, to power those mics which can make use of that, instead of their needing a separate battery of their own. Not all external mics are wired the right way to make use of that. So MOST external mics work OK when plugged into a Sony; SOME work excellently, without needing a separate battery of their own (e.g; the wonderful little Vivanco EM216, which has terrific bass for a stereo mic so tiny!); and SOME mics give very poor results in that Sony external mic socket, because their own internal wiring is incompatible with the way that Sony send a low voltage though the socket. "Try before you buy" is the best motto.
Your own clip-on 'Lavalier' mic must be one of those which does work well with Sonys.
Many people buy the popular 'Audio-technica'-brand shotgun mics, but I'm very disappointed by them, finding them rather "thin" and "tinny", but - as with all mics - you've nothing to compare them with till you DO compare them with other brands of a similar type ..and perhaps many people are satisfied with them - or perhaps they've bought them, and then discarded them.
You don't say which shotgun mic you have.
You say "..I do not really know how to make the most of the shotgun mike which I also have.."
Generally, a shotgun mic picks up sound from directly ahead, and good sound from perhaps 6 feet (2 metres) away. But it WON'T pick up much sound from the sides, or behind it.
So you wouldn't use one at a party - because you'd miss all the general noise and "atmosphere" all around - unless someone was giving a speech, and you wanted to clearly pick up everything they said instead of it being drowned in the general noise, in which case you'd point the shotgun mic directly at them. So you'd use it at a wedding, to pick up the minister's words, and the bride's and groom's, and for speeches; but you wouldn't use it at a fairground, or a beach, or anywhere you wanted to pick up sound from all around.
It's like a telescope; it doesn't pick up what's everywhere around and nearby, but it picks up, and sharply focuses on, what's rather more distant. You wouldn't use one to record a conversation, unless the people talking were right next to each other and a few feet in front of you ..because it would pick up only the one person it's pointed at, and wouldn't pick up any others. But you WOULD use it to distinctly pick up someone at the other end of a fairly quiet room; someone giving a talk or a speech, or someone on stage, or the striking of a distant clock, or a distant whispered conversation.
Outdoors, shotguns can be quite susceptible to wind noise, so they generally come with a "windshield", but you often get better results with a specialist "fuzzy" cover such as a "Rycote".

IDT High Definition (HD) Audio Driver problem after windows 8.1 update 1.

Hello. I have HP Probook 4730s. After I installed Windows 8.1 update 1 the sound driver stopped working properly. When I want to play some music, video or even system sounds, sound appears after 1-2 minutes. At that time HDD usage is 100% cause of windows audio device graph isolation. I’ve installed that IDT High Definition (HD) Audio Driver from HP’s driver support site, but that’s not working. As I see in device manager driver’s release date is 24.10.2012. I think, it’s too old for Windows 8.1. Can you help me? Is there any other newer version of that sound driver? Also I’m sending two pictures where are HDD usage and driver release date.

Poor quality export from imported mp4 screen capture

My video source is an mp4 file created from a screen capture of a unix app running on a PC. Quicktime plays the mp4 file fine (lots of detail, dark blacks, ...), but the resulting movie (Share > Export Movie > HD 720p) is faded. When shown on a large screen, the movie is pixelated and faded (grey blacks, etc.).
I imported the mp4 file into iMovie (File > Import > Movies) with Fit in Frame, Optimize video unchecked, Widescreen (16/9), and 30 fps NTSC.
I have tried various combinations of import and export settings and the above is the best I get.
I'm guessing the import is throwing half the information away (hence the faded appearance). Whatever the cause, is there a way to import mp4 files into iMovie and get the same quality on the export? I tried exporting the entire import and got a file about half the size.

Your description of the problem - a 'comb' effect - sounds as if the "fields" which make up the resultant picture have been put together in reverse.
(..You don't normally see 'interlaced' video in iMovie's playback window - you normally see just a single field of the two, to make the picture clearer and simpler to display..)
[..A video picture's generally made up of two "fields" which each comprise half the number of lines down the screen: one field comprises the odd-numbered lines, and the other the even-numbered ones. Your exported video should be encoded with the lower (2nd) field first ..as described in this Apple document ..and the problem's mentioned here as well..]
However ..you said in your first post that "..I am using a Sony HDR-HC1 and trying to export at the highest possible settings.."
This is an HDV camcorder, and you didn't say if the original footage which you shot was HDV or normal DV. (HDV is recorded differently from normal DV, as it's recorded in a more compressed format, and it has to be automatically 'unscrambled' by Apple's Intermediate Codec while you're importing it into iMovie HD.)
It seems as if somewhere along the chain of importing>editing>exporting, the fields are being reversed, so that you get this jumpiness on replay when QuickTime tries to deliver a "highest quality" interleaved replay of both fields:
Ah ..sudden thought: you mentioned that you exported thro' iDVD: "..I have used iDVD by dropping it into a DVD theme and it seems to work ok, although the playback is a little jumpy, not quite as good I would have expected.."
You may have left the iDVD settings at their default 'NTSC' instead of switching them to PAL.
Check your iDVD Preferences ..that may be the problem.

Windows 8.1 IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver

I was cleaning up my programs and accidently uninstalled IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver. This caused my Beats audio to be uninstalled as well. Is there a way i can get it back? I have tried installing IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver from Hp links but it keeps saying "The hardware detected is not supported by this IDT software package. The install will be aborted." Please help.

Hi,
Version 6491 is newer than 6486.
You should have the Beats audio applet in control Panel. The driver includes the Beats audio software. You should have full functionality. Reboot your system and check Control Panel.
My system is a fairly new HP Envy 810-150se. The latest IDT audio codec for my system is 6486.
Where did you obtain Beats version 6491?

Exporting and importing a field value from one screen to another in BSP

Hi All,
I am working on a BSP application which consists of multiple screens. I have to export the value corresponding to a value selected from a drop down and import it in another screen so that in the next screen values can be populated corrsponding to the value selected in the drop down in the first screen.
I tried using SET/GET parameter and also EXPORT/IMPORT so that I can get value from one screen into another screen but both the statements are not working in BSP....
Please help...
