Low Quality When Viewed In Full Screen

So when I try to view my movie in full screen it's all pixely. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is setting I need to change? Any help would be great!

Well I'm not 100% sure. The video came from a miniDV tape and is NSTC. I also have no idea how to how to change the dimensions or if I can. Is there a way I can find out the dimensions? Sorry for not being much help.

  • Image quality in Viewer vs Full Screen

    I've seen lots of discussions about this in earlier version (pre 1.5x), but they seem to be backward from what I'm seeing. I have an extremely noticable difference in image quality in the viewer vs full screen. At first, I just thought my images weren't any good. Then, I brought the same raw files up in Photoshop and they were pretty good. I looked in Aperture in Full Screen mode, and it was close or equivalent to Photoshop.
    Is anybody else seeing the image be downright bad (looks horribly out of focus) in the viewer but good in full screen? I'm not talking about the thumbnails.
    I'm using an iMac G5 20". I know that my video card is probably underpowered for this, but that should only affect speed (which is mostly tolerable).
    iMac G5 20   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I think I read in the manual that Aperture uses a different type of on-screen sharpening for windowed, full screen, and show master. Probably trying to speed it up in windowed by using a cheaper method.
    They all should look the same when viewed at 100%.
    And for what it's worth, I think Aperture does a lot better job than most programs when viewed at odd sizes. I don't have much to compare it to, but iPhoto and Adobe Elements look awful in comparison.

  • Frames lost when viewing in full screen

    I am offering HTTP Dynamic Streaming ( HDS ). I am using Strobe Media Playback out of the box. 8 bit rates are used from 100Kbps - 2000Kbps at 25 fps.
    The problem I am facing is with older pc trying to view the video in fullscreen. cpu on the pc goes near to 100% and therefore frames get dropped and so SMP falls back to a lower bit rate until it reaches the lowest bitrate and stays there.
    I have tried to view the video on such a pc in full screen using only high bitrates. The video is "jumping" but it is a much better user experience than the one viewed at 100Kbps which is very blur.
    I don't want to use  lower frame rates or disable fullscreen.
    Is there any to configure SMP to fallback to a lower bitrate less aggresively, or a parameter stating that SMP should fall back to lower bitrate when the frames lost are x per second or something similar?
    Any other ideas?

  • Audio and Video are not synced up ONLY when viewed in full screen....?

    Audio and Video are not synced up only when I view my project in full screen. I can watch it in the project viewer the audio and video play as they should. I have a presentation tomorrow and I can't figure this out. What am I doing wrong?

    Have you updated to version 9.0.2 - this Software Update was released a couple of days ago and fixes audio sync problems as well as improving stability in iMovie '11.

  • Lower quality when viewing in Preview

    I have this issue on a BP with 10.5.4 and also a G4 with 10.4.11., and that is that images in Preview are not the same as viewed in any other app, which all look the same. I'm not talking about the look of colors or symptoms of having mismatched profiles, because the colors and shades are the same. But there's a subtle, though definite, slightly lower quality look when using Preview. I've been through the limited preference options and nothing makes it right.
    It's almost as if there's a very slight noise, or unsharp mask artifact, or resolution mismatch (toggling the "respect DPI doesn't make it disappear) though it doesn't appear it other apps.
    What's the deal? : )
    Thanks.

    I'm disappointed that Mail on the mac has not added options to control Marking as Read When Viewing in the Preview Pane. I'm using Mail 3.6 (latest as of July 2009) on 10.5.7, and this is still not supported. I have just finished switching to a new mac from a PowerBook G4 867 which I purchased in 2002, and I moved Entourage v.X (not even 2004 or 2008) app and mailboxes over to my new macbook pro. Then I used Mail 3.6 to Import Mailboxes from Entourage. I also imported contacts to Address Book and calendar items to iCal, etc. Finally I can leave Entourage behind --> Not necessarily.
    Entourage v.X and Windows Outlook have had this feature for at least five years. Why has this feature been skipped in Mail all this time?
    Previewing a message is not the same as Reading the message. Situation one: I like to use the up/down arrows to scroll quickly through messages, and consider which are the most important. Oops, now they're all marked Read! Situation two: Occasionally I click on the wrong message. Oops - it's marked Read now.
    Simplest solution: Provide an on/off control: Mark Previewed Messages as Read - on or off
    Richer solution: Provide timer control: Mark Previewed Messages as Read After 'n' seconds: - <n>
    At least give us the Simpler boolean solution.
    I found several threads on the same topic marked as Answered/Resolved. The workaround of getting rid of the preview pane is a poor workaround compared to what has been requested though it seems to be all we have so far. Admins should close the dangling threads only after posting a note indicating why.
    TruePreview was proposed as a solution in one of the threads, but I have not tried that. If others have tried and are happy with it, please let me know.

  • Some sound in movie not playing when viewing in full screen

    I have been editing a film for the past few days and I've regularly watched it back in full screen to see how it's coming along. Today however, I watched the film back and in some parts, the audio from some of the clips is very quiet. If I play back the video in the viewer however, the audio is fine and I can hear everything clearly, it only happens in full screen playback. I've tried closing and re-opening iMovie but this hasn't solved the problem.
    Any ideas?

  • Imovie hd low quality when export in "full quality"

    Hi
    i made one hour of a movie with Imovie hd. When i exported to "full quality"
    is not equal to the original!
    I imported photos from iphoto, all in hi definition and i inserted audio track and Ken b. effects.
    I have to view this movie on the screen display but i dont't know what export i have to use
    I tried full all kind of export: quality, mpeg4, but the result is not good. Help !
    Must i play from IMOVIE? But the movie flikering because of the rendering in progress.
    Must i change application? Can u help me?

    Welcome fabrizio to the  iMovie boards ..
    first of all: iMHD is optimized and meant for TV delivery.. interlaced, low res video on TVs.. therefore, the quality of an iM is never comparable with a HiRes still on a computer's screen..
    knowing that, there's another issue: your FullQualiyt does contain FQ, but the QTplayer doesn't show it... the socalled 'high flag' for playback isn't set..
    example:
    same file ( ! ), see the difference on playback, actual screenshots: 'high' not set (1), 'high' set in QTpro (Apple-J, video, playback high) pic#2 ...
    free tools as Mpeg Streamclip allow to set the high-flag into a given .mov ...
    last comment: for 'computer only' delivery, consider usage of 3rd party apps as Boinx' FotoMagico http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/

  • Inferior quality when viewing a built DVD in on a computer

    I've seen a few postings with similar problems but have yet to find any good solutions. I'm creating a DVD and many of my client's clients will be viewing it on computers instead of NTSC monitors.
    No matter how high I set the encoding bitrate in DVDSP (they say to never go above 8Mpbs - and that's pushing it), the menu screens and text in particular look really crappy when viewed on a computer. I've tried having the text be part of the background instead of a separate graphic, as well as using the text feature in DVDSP. I've run NTSC color filters in Photoshop and the font I'm using is thick and sans serif; but no matter what I do, once the DVD project is built and viewed via the Apple DVD Player (or any player on the computer) it just looks too compressed and not good. I've saved my menu graphics from Photoshop in a variety of formats (ended up using TIFFs), and tried a variety of text colors.
    Unchecking "Deinterlace" in the Apple DVD Player makes it look a little better when viewing, but there's no way to automatically force a users computer to change this default setting, so no real help there.
    Even further, if I export one of the files as an m2v in a separate app like QuickTime or Compressor and view it in QuickTime, it doesn't look nearly as bad as after DVDSP builds the project and does its encoding. I've tried 2 pass VBR, 1 pass, etc. Pretty much every possible setting/preference.
    There has to be some way to improve the quality of still menus and text so that it looks decent on a computer monitor as well as on a TV when building a project with DVDSP.
    Does anyone have any tips or suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for following up Chris - I apologize for any lack of detail in my posting.
    Yes, I am mostly talking about quality concerns with menus though this is not specified in the title of the post. I understand that there is always loss in general quality when compressing as mpeg2, but to be more specific than before, text quality in the menus looks too artifacted around the edges. My client has described it as being "not sharp" and/or blurry.
    I have used the proper resolution for the stills in Photoshop, and have experimented with using both 720x480 and 720x534. The problem is not with highlights, as the selected/activated states are separate elements from the text itself (rectangles that appear below the text).
    In terms of viewing, I'm aware that scaling up to full screen will degrade the quality. It certainly looks better when viewed at normal size but it would still be nice to be able to control the compression on the still menus so that everything didn't appear as artifacted.
    The eye is more forgiving when watching video because of the movement, but on the still menus the loss of quality is much more apparent.
    Perhaps (as suggested) encoding the m2vs in Compressor first and then bringing them into DVDSP would yield better results than having the built-in encoder do the job (though my understanding was that it is essentially the same encoder).
    My reference to viewing the m2vs in QuickTime was simply to point out the difference in apparent quality when viewing the m2v before DVDSP builds the project - when looking at the m2v in QuickTime the quality appears much better than when you view the DVD project in the Apple DVD Player after the project is built (even though DVDSP is using the same m2v). My concern/question with that issue is just to wonder if DVDSP does some kind of extra compression/encoding on an m2v when it builds the project, and if this can be controlled.
    Thanks again for your comments and suggestions.

  • New satellite laptop wont view in full screen while on internet

    I have a satellite L305-S5919 and when im trying to watch a video or something i can watch it but when i try to view it full screen i get a blank page but i can hear audio. Im not quite sure if its an internet thing or its my laptop. I had a desk top first and i could view things on the full screen. But when i switch it to the laptop i have to watch it on the regular window. please help thank you

    Satellite L305-S5919 
    Assuming you're using Adobe's Flash Player, there's a bug in it for Vista.
    While the video is playing, right-click on it and click Settings. Uncheck the box for Enable hardware acceleration.

  • Has anyone else had a problem with the audio not keeping up with the video when switching to full screen on YouTube?

    Hi. I have a OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.1 Mac Book Air, Processor 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
    Has anyone else had a problem with the audio not keeping up with the video when switching to full screen on YouTube?
    The video starts out fine, but if I click on the expand icon in the lower right corner of the screen the audio won't keep up.
    Refreshing the page don't help at all. In fact, nothing seems to help once it starts.
    I did not have this problem at all using Mavericks. The problem started after installing Yosemite.
    Any way to fix it?

    only $99, i thought it was closer to $175.

  • Is there a way to get the bookmarks toolbar to display when switching to full screen on a Mac?

    When switching to full screen mode in Firefox 9 the bookmarks toolbar goes away. I can't find any view setting to keep it displayed. Is there a way?

    Maybe use the Bookmarks sidebar instead (Command+B).
    You can also add code to userChrome.css below the default @namespace line to display the Bookmarks Toolbar when you hover to the top of the window to unhide the toolbars and tab bar.<br />
    I don't know if that works on a Mac.

  • View photos full screen

    Just updated ATV to 2.1, now the only way to view the photos in full screen is with the Ken Burns effect on. I've seen some older post that say you have to have it on to view in full screen. I like the Ken Burns effect but only when I have control. Before the update I was able to enjoy my photos in full screen.
    Anyone else?

    I'm experiencing the same issue. For me, ATV actually distorts the image in order to fit the screen height. I don't like that. From researching, it seems the latest update eliminated the full screen option. Can only choose Ken Burns effect now to fill the screen with the image.
    But what I don't like about Ken Burns effect is sometimes the images appear too zoomed in and then it pans in a direction that is meaningless in the picture. For example, a picture of my son holding a trophy will show my son and most of the trophy cropped. But instead of panning up to the scropped trophey, it pans down and away. Makes the experience quite disappointing.

  • Application no longer assignable to a desktop in Spaces. Useable only in full screen, can't access it when not in full screen.

    This is a repost to correctly ID this as a Spaces issue. I am using a MacBook Pro with a second monitor in extended desktop. I put iMovie in full screen and when I put it back, it disappeared off of both desktops. I can see it in Spaces and I can use it in full screen. However, it is not available when not in full screen. When I drag and drop it in Spaces to a desktop, it animates off of the top of the screen versus landing on that desktop. I have tried to change the application assignment by right clicking on the iMovie Icon > Options > Assign To, but it affects nothing. I have rebooted both with the external monitor and without, I have uninstalled and reinstalled iMovie and I have tried many combinations of screen resolutions and it is still assigned somewhere other than a desktop. It appears to no longer be associated with or assignable to a desktop. Anyone have any ideas?

    Can you access iMovie without being in fullscreen when you do not have an external monitor connected? I cannot. No matter the monitor configuration, it is only accessible in full screen for me.
    I agree - it is for sure a bug.

  • Is there a way to view Safari full screen in Leopard?

    Is there a way to view Safari full screen in Leopard without auto-hiding the dock? I've already tried searching the forums but could not find much on it or an answer to if it can be done or not. Thanks for any help.

    You can open the Code Inspector Window to have the code completely separate from the Design/Document window. You can also then move the CI window to a separate monitor if you like.
    Window > Code Inspector or F10
