Jagged Edges in Encore CS6

Hello All,
I've been working on an edit for several weeks now, and feel like I've exhausted a good amount of the resources I've been able to track down on my own. The edit is a set of training sessions I filmed for a school system in Texas, broken down over 5 days. I've edited each of those sessions independently, then dropped each day onto a timeline in FCPX, which I then exported via the DVD option in the share menu. The original edit was 1080 24p.
I then imported the m2v and AC3 files from that DVD export into Encore CS6, instructing it to do no transcoding. I setup my menus (editing one of the included themes to my liking), and did my export. Upon playback, I found that my menus are incredibly jagged, due mainly to aliasing I'm sure. I managed to get the text to a semi-acceptable state, but the hover icons for the menu options are still stair-stepping badly. My personal thought is that the footage itself is also of poor quality, even for a DVD (it looks fine in the raw m2v files and in the 1080 render), but it'll be suitable for this client's requirements.
Is there any way to get a clean menu system devoid of all these jagged edges? I've adjusted the aspect ratio on the menu files for widescreen, I've tried various fonts, etc.
Thanks,
Devon

This is just a GUESS (since I don't use FCP) but do you have a better way to do your downscaling from HidDef to SD to go on a DVD?
I work with AVCHD and downscale to SD, with PPro CS5, and the resulting DVD is better quality than when I used to use a beginning to end SD workflow from an SD tape camera

  • Jagged Edges on Raster Images in After Effects/Encore

    I've been working on a project that uses movie files made in After Effects and then brought into Encore to create a DVD. The problem I'm having is jagged edges appearing on raster photo images - things like people's chins especially look jagged. All looks ok on my monitor/computer, but once I watch it on my flat screen TV I get these jagged edges. I've tried transcoding Progressive in Encore but that didn't help.
    Someone please help me!!!

    Yes, it's MPEG compression, and no, there is no "flip a switch" magic cure. Probably what happens is:
    - you are not suitably color correcting your image, resulting in oversaturationthat's bad for compression
    - you have thin lines and only slightly angled edges on the photos
    - you are not using motion blur
    - you have overcranked our TV's colors
    - the TV does some image processing/ scaling/ frame rate coversion
    These ad a million other things will conribute to percception of poor video, but as I said, geerally there is no simple solution here. Compression isunavoidabl, but there are of course ways to improve the results. You should do a little reading up on this. O the AE side you may improved by choosing suitabe renderr settings, using a tiny bit of blur, enabling motion blur, chnaging the motion of the items, adjusting their colors - whichever works. Again, no geeral recipe here. Good compression is a art we all have had to learn over the years ad the best advise can't replace persoal experience.

  • AE CS6 having problems with jagged edges in my render

    I used to compose videos together using After Effects CS4 and the default settings for rendering produced good renders, but after I've upgraded to the CS6 version I notice jagged edges problem in my renders that I didn't have in CS4, and i'm using the default settings in CS6.
    This is a screenshot of a video rendered using CS4 (default render settings):
    This next one is rendered using AE CS6 (default render settings):
    I have looked into the formats that both versions render at and tried to figure out what the difference is. To start off, the available formats given in CS4 seems a lot more different than those in CS6.
    -CS4 rendered in a "Video for Windows" format by default and in Format Options it is Uncompressed, while CS6 doesn't have the "Video for Windows" option at all (and I can't find AVI format for CS4).
    -In CS6 the default format is "AVI", and the Video Codec inside Format Option is "None" by default.
    I'm not sure if this is why CS6 produces jagged edges in its videos. Does anyone know what I can do to render sharper videos in CS6 so i can stop using the CS4 version?
    For example should I maybe change the format from AVI to something else? Change the Video Codec from None to something else?

    Well, straight up: Have you ever bothered to read the AE help? No offense, but this really sounds like "I use the default settings, but otherwise I don't know quite what I'm doing." AVI is cunningly called Video for Windows proper. the rest makes no sense. You are not telling us anything meaningful like comp settings and so on or how you verify your output. The second image simply looks like the hardware scaling in the comp viewer at odd zoom rates and resolutions. Anything beyond that will require a lot more info.

  • Shapes Created in AI CS6 Have Jagged Edges

    Hi Everyone,
    I have Illustrator CS6 and I've noticed something odd. Whenever I create shapes they have jagged edges. I've attached a screenshot so you can see this. I'm wondering if it's a setting or something that I don't have turned on (or off). Or perhaps it's something else. I've never noticed jagged edges in Illustrator before so I'm curious why it may be happening now.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Doug,
    As (the other) Doug said.
    You may enjoy how the (slight) jaggedness becomes relatively smaller as you zoom in; that is an obvious way of determinning whether you have vector or raster artwork.
    When you print, the visibility of jaggedness depends on the print method and resolution of spots/dots/lines/whatever, and when you present artwork on the web and similar, the jaggedness will depend on (the settings of) the monitors of the receivers/visitors.

  • Saving Shapes to PNG Causes Jagged Edges

    Hello,
    I use a Mac and I have Illustrator CS6 and I've noticed something strange. I create shapes using the pentool. When I save the shape to a PNG with a transparent background, it looks smooth, however when I import and resize the shape it pixelates and it has jagged edges.  I've attached a screenshot so you can see what I mean.
    I'm wondering if it's a setting or something that I don't have turned on (or off).  Or perhaps it's something else.  I'm curious why this is happening.  I’ve turned on the Anit-aliased Artwork and changed the ppi to 300…but to no avail.
    Any help would be appreciated…but I’m new to Illustrator and have no idea, so please use detailed and basic instructions that a noob can understand. 
    Thanks in advance.

    You answered your own question. A png is a raster image therefore resizing the image will pixelate it.

  • Why is my rendered color corrected movie pixelated with jagged edges after rendering?

    Hello All,
    I am new short film movie producer and have just started using Adobe Premiere CS6 and Audition CS6.  Comparing my flat footage before adding it to a sequence and color correcting it and rendering it, it looks fair.  But after all these transitions it now looks pixelated along with very jagged edges.  This is my first short film for my first client and I am at my witts ends!  I have tried to copy the sequence and transfer it to a new sequence with differnt settings comparing the pixel aspect ration, fps, trying to match the clips specs and I am so stuck. Can anyone please offer any suggestions or let me know if there are procedures I have overlooked.  Thanks Adobe Community.
    Michael Diaz

    Let's back up a step - what camera do you use? If it's an HDV model, then yes you have anamorphic footage. Simply choose an HDV sequence preset to match. If your camera shoots 720p or full 1920x1080, those are square pixel (1.0) formats and are not anamorphic (anamorphic does NOT mean widescreen, it means "stretched to widescreen" basically).
    In any case, drag a clip to the New Item button for best results until you get more educated and confident about the different formats you may be working with.
    If you copied and pasted the contents of the SD sequence into an HD sequence, all filters and effects you had applied before should remain intact and not need reworking, except possible for titles and things involving scaling (since the size has changed).
    As for exporting, you typically will NOT want an anamorphic export, except for widescreen DVD. You will not see anamorphic mentioned though, just choose "MPEG-2 DVD" and an appropriate widescreen preset and Adobe knows what to do from there. For web/computer viewing, best to avoid anamorphic footage, since many players assume 1.0 PAR and do not adjust the image for non-square pixels. So if working with 1440x1080 footage, and exporting to web or YouTube for instance, export as 1920x1080 (1.0) or 1280x720 (720p) so the viewer sees the proper 16:9 output, or the image may be squished otherwise!
    Thanks

  • Illustrator images with jagged edges when converting a document to pdf

    Hi,
    Illustrator CS6.
    I created some images in illustrator. Saved the images as a .tff. Put the images in a Word.docx. Looks great. Convert the word.docx to a pdf and my images have jagged edges. I have anti-alaising check in my preferences but still the image looks bad.
    Any suggestions?
    thanks

    Did you resize the images larger than when inserted into Word?
    What resolution did you export the TIF from AI at?
    What was the Anti-aliasing setting (type or art optimized or none)?
    Are you using Word's Save As PDF, or the Adobe Acrobat add-on?
    Are you viewing the result in Acrobat (or Adobe Reader) at 100% or larger?

  • Blue screen of death on Toshiba P755-S5375 with ADOBE ENCORE CS6

    I recently purchased a new laptop and installed Adobe Master Collection CS6.  I purchased the laptop for video capture and editing, as well as for blu-ray authoring. 
    Unfortunately, although the computer and software works fine for video capture and editing, I am unable to author a blu-ray.  For authoring, I am using Adobe’s Encore CS6.  After checking and previewing my creation, I attempt to build to disc using Encore.  About 2 seconds after clicking the build disc in Encore, I get the “blue screen of death” (BSOD).  This happens every time I try to build to blu-ray (only blu-ray has this issue; I am able to build to a DVD).  I am using an external blu-ray drive on USB 3.0.

    We need to know the Stop code on the blue screen. If there is a file name mentioned, we want that too.
    You can prevent the rapid disappearance of the blue screen during a normal boot by choosing this at the F8 Startup menu.

  • Can you have two copies of Encore CS6 running on the same computer?

    I'd love to be able to have two copies of Encore on the same computer. While one copy is encoding and burning, I'd love to get another project started and encoding on the same computer and maybe, if possible, even start burning to a separate external burner. But first, I'd love to just be able to have two copies of Encore open on the same computer. I tried copying the Encore CS6 folder to a different drive and then running it but it says there's another Encore in session and this may cause issues with the hardware.
    Windows 8.1 Pro
    X99 5930k 6-core
    32 GB Ram
    GTX 970 4GB GPU
    Thanks!

    I can't imagine Encore being able to run 2 instances.
    Build from Encore to an image (iso), and get ImgBurn. You can run multiple instances of ImgBurn and burn as many DVD/BDs as you have burners (including externals via USB or whatever). Send him a donation; his product is fantastic.

  • Encore CS6 is asking for a Serial Number when I have Creative Cloud

    I have the same problem identified here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1024884
    I am running Windows 7 on a new Dell Vostro, have a subscription to Creative Cloud, have never installed a trial version of the software, and recently installed Premier Pro. The first time I try to run Encore, I get the two screens shown in that thread and repeated here:
    "Adobe Encore CS6 cannot run in trial mode. Please relaunch the application and provide a valid serial number."
    "Adobe Premier Pro. Provide a serial number."
    I had previously got the problem identified here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/missing-sequence-presets.html
    Following the recommendations fixed the problem, but still Encore has the same issue.
    When I access this URL:
    https://lm.licenses.adobe.com/
    I get the message:
    "Congratulations! You have successfully connected to Adobe License Management Server."
    It appears this is a common problem, but there does not seem to be a common solution. For example, here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4677807
    and
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4589055
    I checked and have no "Hosts" file.
    Further, here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4677888
    I have found that waiting or rebooting the PC does not fix the problem.
    Lastly, I tried that proposed here:
    http://www.seangw.com/wordpress/2012/08/help-photoshop-cs6-asks-for-serial-number-after-si gning-up-for-creative-cloud/
    And that did not work either.
    Illustrator, Photoshop, and Premiere Pro all work fine.
    So, what is the solution?
    Update, 2012-11-06. I spent 30 minutes on a chat session with Adobe support. The support person told me emphatically that Encore is not part of Creative Cloud and can be obtained only by buying Premiere Pro and not from the Creative Cloud subscription. To prove the point, the support person pointed me to this page:
    https://creative.adobe.com/apps
    Now on that page, Adobe has done something clever and stupid. If you view the page with XP (for example), it does not show Premier Pro because Premiere Pro works only on a 64 bit OS. If you view the same page under Windows 7 it does show Premiere Pro. I think it would be better if Adobe showed the application (possibly greyed out) with a note that it cannot be installed on the PC that is viewing the page. Well, I was having the chat on my laptop (running XP) and I guess the support person was also on XP so the case was proved!
    But I sent him a link to this page:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/tools.html
    However, the support person told me I needed to contact sales. I called them and asked the support guy to wait on the chat session until I had an answer. The lady in sales said that Encore is definitely included in Creative Cloud. But as I was about to relay that information to the support person, he ended the chat session!
    The pleasant lady in sales said she would transfer me to phone technical support. I was on hold for 60 minutes and had to quit to go and do a task.
    Perhaps this will be resolved and I shall update this thread ...

    I got help with this problem.
    You only need to sign out from the creative cloud. Go to preference, sign out. Open Premiere Pro CC, help sign out.
    Then re-open premiere pro cc and sign back in, and you should now be able to open encore as well!
    Worked for me!

  • Blue screen of death when building blu-ray in Encore CS6

    I recently purchased a new laptop and installed Adobe Master Collection CS6.  I purchased the laptop for video capture and editing, as well as for blu-ray authoring. 
    Unfortunately, although the computer and software works fine for video capture and editing, I am unable to author a blu-ray.  For authoring, I am using Adobe’s Encore CS6.  After checking and previewing my creation, I attempt to build to disc using Encore.  About 2 seconds after clicking the build disc in Encore, I get the “blue screen of death” (BSOD).  This happens every time I try to build to blu-ray (only blu-ray has this issue; I am able to build to a DVD).  I am using an external blu-ray drive on USB 3.0.  
    I am using Encore version 6.0.0.492

    Create an ISO (Encore) or folder on your hard drive (Encore or Premiere Elements) and then use the FREE http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download to write files or folders or ISO to disc for DVD or BluRay (send the author a PayPal donation if you like his program)
    Imgburn will read the ACTUAL disc brand from the disc, which is not always the same as the box label (Memorex is notorious for buying "anything" and putting it inside a Memorex box)
    When you write to disc with Imgburn, use the SLOWEST possible speed setting, so your burner has the best chance to create "good, well formed" laser burn holes... since no player is required to read a burned disc, having a "good" one from a high quality blank will help

  • Problem installing ONLY Encore CS6 alongside CC

    With the new 2014 CC apps alongside the original CC apps, I decided I finally wanted to purge my CS6 collection.  However, I still want and use Encore from time to time.
    I used first the "uninstall" option to remove ALL of my CS6 apps - including Encore.  I even used the Cleaner tool to further "clean up" CS6.  All seemed well.
    I then followed these instruction precisely to install Encore, which involves installing the "previous version" of Premiere Pro CS6 through the CC desktop app, and then using "uninstall" to remove only Premiere Pro CS6.  http://helpx.adobe.com/encore/kb/encore-cs6-installed-cc.html
    Everything seemed perfect.  I had only Encore CS6 appearing in my Application folder (Mac).  However, in the CC desktop app drop down window (after logging out and then back in), there was a listing for Premiere Pro CS6 and a big blue button saying "update".  "What's this" revealed bundled updates for not only Encore, but CS6 Bridge, Media Encoder and Extension Manager. 
    So - my choice, stare at an unresolved "Premiere Pro CS6" update for the rest of time, or hit the button.  I hit the button, and got CS6 Media Encoder, Extension Manager and Bridge reinstalled back on my computer.  Right back where I started.
    The instructions at the link above are INCOMPLETE.  What do I do to resolve this problem?  I just want Encore - and not the gigabytes of CS6 programs I no longer need.
    Thank you.

    I do not know the real answer, which is can you uninstall ALL CS6 except for Encore.
    My guess is that you must live with the "update" flag staring at you. The update did NOT put Premiere back in, so I assume that those 3 programs are considered "essentials" for the CS6 family. Even though we don't know how, they may be essential for some part of Encore's functioning. My guess is that the PR CS6 install put them in, the uninstall does not remove them unless you remove everything, and that they had updates.
    You may have needed the update to get Encore to 6.0.1 (the only Mac update for Encore CS6). Or you may be able to manually update with an update file. Adobe - Encore : For Macintosh : Encore CS6 update
    In any event, these are small programs. Well, hm, 3/4 of a gig. You should really transcode assets to DVD/BD spec before bringing into Encore, so it doesn't matter, but for some projects I will use the dynamic link with AME to transcode ahead of the build. Slight advantage to keeping it.
    But for your interests, my bottom line is to live with the "update button."

  • Constant freezing in Encore CS6 adding chapters

    I need assistance with why my Adobe Encore CS6 continues to freeze while scanning through a video to add chapters.  I literally have to wait 2-5 minutes after each added chapter and sometimes it freezes during my scan and the wheel of death starts.  It does disappear and I can begin to work again, but this is super frustrating.  I have six 2.5 hour recital videos to add chapters to and at this rate I'm gonna shot myself (not really, but you know what I mean).
    I am on a Mac
    OS X Version 10.8.4
    2.7 GHz Core I7
    RAM 16GB
    I have 529 GB of space on the drive I am working from
    I have 212 GB of space remaining on my actual laptop
    In Final Cut Pro I can create proxy/optimized files to work with without the lag.  I am somewhat new to Encore and any help would be appreciated even if it's with another Authoring program.  I have the Adobe suite
    Thanks,

    I assume the "drive you are working from" is an external. I wonder if that is the issue. I don't recall users complaining about this much of a slowdown.
    What format is the file? I guess you don't say: is this dynamic link?
    I assumed problems with scrolling down the timeline, but you mean a delay in Encore processing the new chapter marker, right?
    Does it do it if the next chater is only 5 seconds down the timeline?
    Does it do it with a short test segment? Create a 10 minute clip and see. If no slowdown, I'd conclude performance. If the slowdown is still there it doesn't rule it out.
    But if the problem is present with the short clip, copy it to the laptop internal drive, create a test project, import there, and see if you have the problem. That may be the best workaround.
    You might try a workaround

  • PS3 (Playstation 3) issue not loading BDR Bluray | Adobe Encore CS6

    I recently created a Bluray using Adobe Encore CS6, and the Bluray is not loading on my PS3, but is working fine on my other player (LG, Toshiba and PC).  Does anyone have the same issue and found a solution?  I need help on this as most of my client use their PS3 as Bluray player.
    Authoring program: Adobe Encore CS6 with the Creative Cloud latest update
    PS3 with latest firmware update (PS+ member with auto-update: on)
    Video files: 1920x1080 FPS 23.976 Program Stream MPEG-2 for Bluray *.m2v (transcode with FCP Compressor)
    Audio files: Dolby Digital Audio *.ac3
    Burner software: CyberLink Power2Go V6
    Burner hardware: HP BD Writer bd340i
    Media: Verbatim BD-R 25GB 6x Speed
    Project size: 20/25GB
    The project setting in CS6 is: Blu-ray NTSC with MPEG-2 Codec at 1920x1080 at 23.976FPS
    The “Check Project” shows no error.  I build (output) as an image, then burn the *.ISO file using CyberLink Power2Go.
    The BD-R work fine everywhere (LG & Toshiba player) except on my PS3.  The BD-R has the BDMV and CERTIFICATE folder, so I don’t know why my PS3 don’t recognize it.  And I have three PS3 at home; 1xPS3 80GB version (3yrs old) and 2xPS3 super slim (1yr old).  All three are unable to see the BD-R.  My PS3 work fine with all other media (games & movie Bluray); and I highly doubt that all three have trouble with the Bluray player.
    I did the same process last time (in 2013) and everything is working fine, all the same configuration, except I used Adobe Encore CS4.  My PS3 was able to read and recognize the BD-R.  But since CS6, my PS3 don’t see the BD-R.  I also put back the copy that I did last year with CS4 (just to make sure that is not a PS3 firmware issue) and the Bluray work fine.  The media (Verbatim) come from the same tower (leftover from last year).
    So everything point toward CS6…is there something that change from CS4 to CS6 for Bluray creation? Jumping from Encore CS4 to CS6, I don’t see anything different, but look like there is, because the Bluray can no longer be played on my PS3.  Please help!

  • Jagged edges using DVCPRO 50

    yeesh.
    We are capturing footage that was shot at 24 fps, 16:9 anamorphic standard def on an SDX900 camera using on DVCpro tapes, off of an AJSD93 deck over firewire. We capture with the DVCPRO50-NTSC codec, and have tried both 23.98 and 24.
    and we are PLAGUED with these frames with horrible jagged edges. This appears to be an interlace/field dominance problem, but uh it was shot progressive. Any of you masters got any ideas?
    below is the example frame
