Improve quality of Mini Dv`s recordings

How can we improve the quality of the Mini Dv`s recordings ir order to appear more professional?

Those are good suggestions for preproduction, but if you're looking for advice now in post, I've got a couple. First, make sure the video isn't blown out. If it is either use the Broadcast Safe filter, or if you need a lot more, look at some of the color correction filters to stop down the video. If your video is shaky, apply the SmoothCam filter. I've used it and it works wonders, but technically it zooms in on the footage a slight bit, so it actually drops the quality a tad. As far as the video itself to make it clearer or sharper, not really anything you can do now.
Good luck,
-Brian

    How can I improve quality of image when burning a movie to a DVD?

    What resolution are you using?  If the DVD is to be playable on an ordinary DVD player, only ordinary TV resolution is supported.  You need Blue ray for HD.

    The best software to do what you want, is not on a Mac. It is a router.. gargoyle.
    You can keep using the TC as wifi source but get a router that can can take gargoyle firmware.. the best in my testing is netgear WNDR3700. Gargoyle itself is a free download.

    There are other routers and router boards it will work on.. but make sure you pick something compatible. I have used several different routers and the one above is the best so far.

  • Print to PDF- Improve Quality

    Is there a way to improve the quality of the standard print to PDF function? I wanted to save a web page as a PDF, and noticed that with a certain website when I print to PDF there is some streaking in the font. The file size is also very small, only 200k for a 2 page PDF. I do have Adobe Acrobat, but prefer to avoid it if I can.
    Thanks,
    Alexander

    Can you provide an example of "streaking in the font"?

  • How to improve quality of photos or clipart downloaded from web?

    Hi,
    My name is Gail and I am new to this forum. I am a novice in Adobe Photoshop Elements 2. Searched but couldn't find answer to this question:
    When I download images from the web (right click and save as)they often appear blurry, especially if I enlarge. Usually only the choice of jpeg or bitmap to Save As. How can I improve the quality? Please answer simply as I have limited knowledge in this area. :)
    I have Photoshop Elements 2. Operating system is Windows XP. I usually use the clipart or photo in Printshop 21 when creating greeting card, etc. or in making a DVD cover design.
    Can someone help, please?
    Gail

    Hi Gail,
    I'm afraid the short answer to your question is that often you cannot improve the quality.
    The holy grail of web site design is to create web pages that take up as little computing memory as possible. The reason for this is down to the fact that the contents of web pages have to be transmitted over the public Internet - bit by bit and byte by byte from a hosting server to the viewer's desktop. Therefore fewer bits and bytes to shunt around mean faster download times and improve the length of time it takes an entire page to display correctly on your screen.
    With this ideology in mind many applications, Photoshop Elements included, have features built into them to downsize images to the smallest possible file size (bytes) for displaying at the author's chosen size at an acceptable quality.
    That said, there are other examples on the Internet where people provide 'thumbnail' images that link to larger versions of that image or even to the full original file size. Look out for those instead.
    Hope this helps.
    Mark
    PS. Don't forget about the whole issue of copyright. That is another reason why some people will render their work to such small file sizes (i.e. to prevent unauthorised copying and printing).

  • FCPX Stabilizing or Improving Quality of Poor Video Clip

    How do I do both of these things in FCPX:
    1 - Stabilize slightly shaky video
    2 - Improve its quality. It's slightly pixelated

    Stabilisation is for correcting camera wobble and the like - it will have no effect on pixilation.
    Can you post a screen grab showing this pixilation?
    If you have stretched low-res footage to fill a high-res project, you will get pixilation. What is the video codec and what are your project settings?
    (Select the project in the browser, then press Cmd+4 to open the inspector and write the settings down here).

  • Help! improving quality of PDF-X export

    I've got pages and have just completed an important newsletter for work. It looks awesome, but when I export to PDF all of the shadows are gone. I've tried the PDF-X trick but the photos are very grainy and the shadows are really poor quality. I need to have this printed ASAP. Is there a way to improve the quality of a PDF-X file? Are there any other work arounds? This has been pretty disappointing. I'm using pages 1.0.2.

    Not certain if this is quite the same thing, but.......
    I have found problems when exporting to pdf, not when I open in Preview but when the person I am emailing the file to opens it in Acrobat, as all drop shadows are then lost, this makes professional printing difficult.
    Resolved it for the moment by:
    1. exporting to pdf as normal
    2. using Graphic Converter which comes bundled with OSX to create a PSD file and sending that electronically. Slight problem was that the size of the file increased from 3mb to about 27mb, so had to download a free copy of Cyberduck ftp programme too. In fact saving it to jpeg was just about as good.
    3. you do have to do one page at a time but it works.

  • Quality Manager - Clearing Unscored Call recordings

    Probably a very basic question, but unfortunately I'm not yet familiar with this product.
    Some of our supervisors wish to clear out a backlog of "Unscored" recordings from the list in Quality Management Desktop, so that they can start with a clean slate the following week.
    Can anyone advise how to do this? I've searched documentation and googled but haven't had much luck.

    Hi
    The unscored reports will eventually disappear.
    You set different retention periods for scored and unscored recordings in the admin tool.
    The idea is that you might for example set:
    2 weeks for unscored
    1 week for scored
    Then your scored recordings would disappear after being available for a week for review, and the unscored ones will be around longer to allow time to get round to scoring them.
    The scores are then kept on file (along with answers to the rating questions etc) for reporting purposes.
    The retention periods are configured on the Workflow in QM Desktop Administrator...

  • HI all how do you improve quality of pdf presentation yet keep MBs using adobe cs2

    Hi Adobe experts . How can I improve the presentation quality when
    downloaded of a pdf presentation created in adobe cs2 and keep the MB size down/ have it at
    3.67mb too slow when downloaded

    You would have to lower the compression quality of the JPEG embedding. Aside from that, you might be able to remove unnecessary data from the PDF by using the optimization features in Acrobat.

  • How to improve quality of screen snaps

    We are converting our graphics from EPS to SVG using CS3/4. We have noticed when we print our resulting graphics (using the SVG rendition) that line art illustrations appear clearer. However, our screen snap pictures have lost some clarity. Have I missed a setting or procedure that would improve the quality of our output?

  • Improve quality output for apple devices?

    FCPX can easlily export your movie for a device. I like those presets. For me the iMac is the device that I use for export. In this way it delivers a decent movie to watch on my mac. But I have the idea that the quality of the video can be improved. I know that via "share" and "apple devices" there are no (or hardly) extra settings to improve the videoquality.
    Are there other (concrete) ways (probably via cmpressor 4) to get the best quality for my video to watch on my mac?
    Besides that, could the codex X264 play an important part on this issue? Thanks for your time in advance!

    Under settings there is a button with + sign, click on it and give the copy a name. The settings you can change are primarily under Frame control pad. You can change those setting to better but remember to change to Frame Control of when you are finished. Hope this helps

  • How is picture quality when mini mac attached to plasma

    I have an Apple TV attached to my 50" Pioneer plasma, but the main reason I got the Apple TV was to play play lists with music videos. Since Apple TV can't yet provide this, I'm interested in replacing with mini mac so I can use iTunes to play music video's continuously. But before I do, I just wanted to see if anyone out there knows how well the picture quality looks when attaching the mini mac via DVT to HDMI to plasma TV (in my case, a Pioneer 50" 1080i/720P). If anyone could give me some helpful advice or if there are any problems with this setup I'd gladly appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    So I tried playing music videos from a playlist continuously as you describe on my mini. It didn't work under Front Row but it did work from iTunes directly. I have heard that having the very latest version of iTunes and QuickTime installed corrects the limitation with Front Row, but I don't have them installed yet so I can't confirm that.
    I am curious to know what is the limitation with AppleTV that doesn't allow this? It seems like it would work. What happens when you try? Do you have the latest version of QuickTime and iTunes on the Mac from which the AppleTV is streaming from?

  • Improve quality from Sony Handycam xr100 AVCHD.

    I'm looking for video editing software for my Sony Handycam XR100. I've downloaded PrE 8 trial version and have imported video direct from the camera to PrE 8 and so far it is very poor quality. Is there a way to improve this picture quality?
    The playback quality from the Sony PMB software from the same file is great. Is there a way to get the same quality in PrE 8?
    I'm looking to see if the Handycam can record in mpeg2.
    The purpose of my most videos is to host them on YouTube.

    To re-enforce the statements by John T, and Steve, many feel that a fast Quad-core is the minimum for AVCHD. Other feel that a fast i7 is the minimum.
    What are the full specs. of your computer? AVCHD takes a lot of power, just to playback, much less edit smoothly.
    I'd almost think that Intel was behind AVCHD, as it has probably sold more big i7's, that anything else could have.
    Good luck,

  • Does improving bit rate improve quality when importing from a lossy file?

    Okay, if that question made no sense, here's an example:
    I have a 5 Megabyte file encoded as an MP3 at 192 kbps.
    I like to keep all my files in one format though, and currently my preferred format is AAC.
    Would it make sense to convert it to 320 kbps AAC?
    I get the feeling that since the data for that bitrate is gone (since MP3 is lossy)
    it wouldn't make any sense trying to improve the bitrate. All I would get is a large file
    that sounds the same as 192 kbps AAC.
    Is that right?

    Yes and No.
    You are right that converting to 320kpbs AAC will not increase the quality since the data is already gone.
    However for the next but you are slightly wrong.
    What you will get is a large file that sounds the same as 192kbps MP3, which is not as good as 192kbps AAC (AAC is better quality than MP3 at the same bitrate).
    Also, there is always a loss in quality when going from one lossy format to another.
    If it's possible to go and re-encode the original source material at a higher bit-rate AAC I would definately do that, but if all you have is the 192kpbs MP3, then just leave them as they are and don't worry about having different formats.
