Menu background lose color when import to dvd sp

i create psd then flat it and save as tif and jpeg and even psd files. Both look good but when import to DVDSP, the color lose. Any suggestions? save png file?

Russ
Can't thank you enough.
I had been away from FCP and DVD SP for awhile and that can cause a loss of memory.
Your answer triggered my brain to export the finished project in FCP as a QT movie to my external drive and from there to DVD SP.
I also have forgotten most of the French I once knew as well.
Again....much appreciated, Russ

  • PICTURES ARE FUZZY WHEN IMPORTED TO DVD DISC

    I'm new to creating dvds.  Pictures are fuzzy when imported to dvd disc ( memorex DVD-R).  What am i doing wrong?

    Hi
    Hard to say as You don't suply any info on
    • What photo file format, size You use
    • How You go from photo to iDVD
    And ! - Please do not Yell ! - Capitalized letters = Yelling in most forums and here a low and polite conversation most often will get better and more rapid results.
    Some thoughts about DVD Quality
    • DVD can only be SD-Video what ever tool used to encode it. And that is much less than what Your Mac screen can show.
    • Tools used to create the SlideShow - give a very different (quality) result
    iMovie'08 to 11 - discard every second line = less resolution
    iMovie HD6 and FinalCut - full interlaced video over to iDVD (as good as it can be)
    FotoMagico™ _ Great and even more so if result is burned as a Blu-Ray Disk
    Some notes follows - if You are of interest.
    DVD quality
    1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1)
       iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST
    • Best Performances (movies + menus  less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    About double on DL DVDs.
    2. Video from
    • FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not self-containing, no conversion)
    • iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
    when the movie includes photos. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
    • iMovie’08 not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
    3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly eg x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09  this can also be set)
    This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application.
    4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
    use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc).
    5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
    6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW)
    7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
    8. Don’t burn more than three DVD at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while before next batch.
    iDVD quality also depends on.
    • DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
    deliver anything better that this.
    HD-DVD was a short-lived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
    These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-layer.
    Blu-Ray / BD can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
    _ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. BD-component
    _ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
    _ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to playback
    The BD-encoded DVDs can be play-backed IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
    Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
    • HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx. 25Gb.
    less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
    • How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
    • Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
    • Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
    iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera record in = 100% to iDVD
    • What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
    other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
    Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
    strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
    Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
    • What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
    (If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JES_Deinterlacer_3.2.2 do the conversion)
    (Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
    (US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
    (EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
    UNLESS. They are play-backed by a Mac - then You need not to care
    • What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
    • How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
    Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
    Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
    Best / High Performances (most often my choice before Pro Quality)
    Yours Bengt W

  • Choosing a language when importing a DVD in iTunes ...

    Hi,
    When importing a DVD in iTunes, if different languages are available from the DVD how can I choose the one I prefer ?
    Regards.

    You are right ... I have to turn to the software used to create the file that I import in iTunes.
    Thanks.

  • In elements 6, certain edited files lose color when transfered to Photomail or Online Gallery. Why is this happening?

    Using Elements 6- when editing files in certain applications such as Portrait Proffesional, the edited versions lose their color when transfered to Photomail or Online Gallery. Also, when I use elements 6 e- mail attatchment to e-mail a single file, I get a message that says too much has been taken up. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Well here's my workflow. I'm using Firewire external HD for storing Aperture library.
    1. Creating Folder with client's name
    2. Creating New project with shooting name in the clients folder.
    3. importing all RAW files into project. During that process i'm adding all keywords, time adjustment, credits etc....
    4. sorting photos, adding ratings (1 - for delete, 4 and 5 - to keep).
    5. making smart albums (according to ratings). Deleting all 1 star files.
    6. Editing all 5 stars (the one i'll give to the clients). If i'll need to edit it with photoshop, i'll use open in external editor. And keep the final psd file also in the Aperture library.
    7. Adding "final version" keyword to all files ready to be send to the client.
    8. Making a new smart folder (sorting by "final" keyword)
    9. Using internal web publishing - i'm publish them on my .Mac account. Sending the link to the client
    10. Using presets exporting tiffs and jpg versions and burning them on DVD for my client.
    11. Also - i'll print them using Aperture.
    12. Backing up the project - both on DVD and Aperture Vault (using external HD).
    13. I'm also backing up Aperture library using TimeMachine (using 3rd external drive).

  • How do I get audio back on single clip that loses audio when imported into Premiere Pro CC?

    I've got one clip out of many that for some reason won't play any audio when imported into Premiere Pro.  I am new to Premiere Pro so am hoping it's something stupid I've done, but this is a problem with just a single clip exported the same way as all my others, the original audio is loud (not quiet) and none of the FAQ issues seem to apply (ie I haven't muted the audio or anything stupid like that)
    The clip was exported from Plural Eyes into a "master" Premiere Pro project where the audio is fine. I exported it as a short MP4 clip and if I play the clip in Windows Media Player the audio is there loud and clear.
    But when I import the clip into a fresh Preimiere Pro CC project this clip appears with just the "film strip" icon on the far left in the Timeline panel, unlike other clips which have an icon that shows "film strip" in the background and "audio wave" in the foreground.
    I'm hitting so many glitches with the CC editions of Premiere Pro and After Effects which have annoying inconsistencies between them I'm tempted to just go back to Sony Vegas Pro (single program, no hassle) but hoping most of these issues are down to "newbie incompetence". Very hard to understand why this one clip out of many should be giving me this specific problem though. Any ideas?

    I'm getting so many weird results. Most go away by simply closing the project and re-opening and I only have 6GB memory but even so, I'm disappointed by what I thought was supposed to be more "world class" video editing software than Sony Vegas Pro which I found to be a lot more stable. Also struggling with differences between Premiere and After Effects. Every time I want to do something in Pro I seem to need to go to After Effects and vice-versa. After Effects lets me do more of what I could "just do" in Vegas Pro timeline, but it's hideous for lining up audio and having to render anything in RAM to even get a clue as to what a change has done.  Need to add Audition to the long list as well I suspect. Fun times!

  • Change in color when exporting to dvd. Please help

    I have some AVCHD footage that looks great when exported to quicktime. But when burning to DVD with iDVD all colors are "stronger", especially red. (Skincolor get way too much red).
    This appears both when playing back the DVD on the Mac or on a LCD screen. Have I done something wrong?

    Yes, you didn't properly monitor your footage. Sorry to be so blunt.
    If you want to know what your footage looks like on a TV, you need to monitor it on a TV. Your computer monitors will not get you the same colors. And since you are working with AVCHD footage that you will downconvert to a standard def DVD, you'll need something that can downconvert to SD.
    Cheapest option? Decklink Intensity Pro (www.decklink.com). This requires that you have a PCIe Intel Mac Pro or Quad G5. It can downconvert the HD to SD so you can connect it to your TV and see what you will really be getting. There are other Decklink options as well that are more expensive, as well as solutions from www.aja.com and the MXO from www.matrox.com.

  • AAC audio file increase in size when imported into DVD Studio Pro

    Hello all!
    I just encountered a very unique issue with the DVD Studio Pro. I used the compressor to export my video as an MPEG2 file and my audio as AAC file. After the compression my audio file had an .mpg4 extention and was about 160MB in size. When I imported it into my DVD Studio Pro project, however, the audio increased in size to 1.2 GB. I tried so many different compressions, but the problem really is (I think) that the file bumps up in size once imported into DVD SP project. Is there anything in preferences that I need to adjust or change? Please help!
    Thank you.

    Hi
    I'm a little lost now with versions history, but if you have A.Pack in your App folder, then must use it. Check this tutorial: Encoding AC3 with A.Pack.
    Compressor 2 and 3 has AC3 encoding inside the main application.

  • No audio when importing a dvd?

    I've tried to import my dvd's into iMovie HD to convert them to M4V for my ipod but haven't been able to get the audio to work. I use mactheripper to rip it then import it into imovie. the video works but no sound. I know mactheripper can't be the problem cause I can open the VIDEO_TS folder with DVD Player and it works fine. any one have this problem and know what to do or have another solution for transcoding DVD's to iPod supportive format?

    MTR is a tool for getting rid of copyprotection mechanisms on commercial DVDs... no "importer" nor converter…
    there're other, much better, more appropriate tools to convert DVD>>iPod, e.g. iSquint, you should ask in the iPod section of this forum...
    to import DVDs into iM simply type "dvd import" into search field, but as said, no need to go the long way through a video-edit app as iM.......
    helpful?

  • Text looks horrible and blocky when imported into DVD SP

    Why is it that all my text looks terrible when I import it from Photoshop into DVD Studio Pro for a still menu? The font size is 20pt, and the text type is Franklin Gothic, a sans serif Helvetica variation that is extremely simple and basic. Why does it look so bad? Is it the layers? The field dominance? The pixel aspect ratio? I've asked around and many people simply say "dvd studio pro does that sometimes." What? That's not seriously the bottom line is it? What if I don't want to redesign my whole menu?
    I posted an example of how the text looks...

    Thanks for any help you could give me!

    Try this one...there isn't a solution, it is a confirmed bug in the software. Check out the thread above, I included an e-mail address and issue i.d. so you can write a message letting them know that I'm not the only one having this problem...
    The same issue affects the normal way of creating slideshows as well as still menus. The workaround is to create a menu that loops at around :30. However, at the loop point the text will go jagged for a second while it loops back to the beginning. So, it's not a perfect workaround.

  • Why do Apple photos lose quality when imported to Windows?

    When photos taken on an Apple phone are imported to Windows Photoshop Elements 11, the photos seriously lose quality.  Why?

    A bitmap image (such as a .jpg or .gif) is basically a grid of colors, which are represented by the values (numbers) for how much red, green, and blue of each pixel in the grid to activate when the image is displayed on a monitor or printed.
    Some bitmap images (including .jpgs) can also specify a color profile. Applications that support color profiles will adjust the color values before they are displayed. Photoshop honors color profiles, Fireworks does not. Fireworks does not, because most browsers do not; Fireworks displays images as they will be seen on the Web. Photoshop does, because Photoshop can support color profiles for print devices.
    Photoshop has a default color profile. If you open an image that does not have a color profile in Photoshop, Photoshop will apply its default color profile to the image and adjust the color values it displays. Photoshop shows you modified data; Fireworks shows you the raw data. This is not a quality issue, because nothing has changed with your image and the applications are operating exactly as they are supposed to.
    What you want, I think, is to be able to open your image in Photoshop, and then save the richer view of the colors you see, but without a color profile.
    Read this article: http://www.viget.com/inspire/save-for-web-simply
    You can find out more about this whole issue if you query your favorite search engine for the phrase "photoshop save for web color shift" (without the quotes).

  • Menu background audio stops when entering transition

    Is there anyway for the menu audio to overlap a transition towards the timeline ?
    I have a menu setup with audio and a still frame from a small movie as background, when hitting play all the menu play's the movie clip/transition which fades out and then starts at chapter 1 of the timeline. Problem I'm facing now is that the audio which loops in the menu stops when entering the transition clip. While I would like the audio to overlap the transition clip. Can't find anything related to audio which could set the audio to keep playing while the transition clip does it's job.
    If encore doesn't support this, then it should be included. In that case does anyone know how to workaround ?
    Big thnx

    Robbie.
    This is simply not possible in DVD-Video.
    The format is visually dominant - which means any time you switch menus, timelines - even with transitions - the audio must change too.
    You can - if you must - use Aufdio in the transition as well, but please bear in mind that there
    i will
    be a glitch as the visuals change - it's unavoidable.

  • Screen Capture Video Loses Quality When Imported Into iMovie - WHY?

    I am using screen capture software to make a video of my screen at 1024x768. The video is for a tutorial. I want to use iMove to get things like transitions and such into the movie, and to add text and audio. The problem is that, although the video looks great in QuickTime, it loses quality significanly when I import into iMove. The text on the screen is blurry, and the quality of everything else is terrible as well.
    Is this s limitation of iMove? Can screen capture video be imported? Does it only work with DV?
    Also, I tried to convert the file to many other formats, from QuickTime to MPEG-4, so it's not the file type.
    If anyone can help me out, I've be very grateful.
    Thanks!
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Your dimensions are getting in the way. iMovie converts your 1024X768 to a DV Stream file that is 720X480.
    One workaround would be to set your display resolution smaller. Try 800X600 (if your windows fit that size).
    If you're using Snapz Pro you should set your window capture to 640X480. This size will import nicely into iMovie.
    An even better way would be to do all of the work using QuickTime Pro. Again a 1024X768 QT.mov file would not fit on the most common display settings used. When you add the QT Player window the controller would be below the screen and not accessible for most users.
    800X600 would make a better file (smaller, too). It would still be 4:3 aspect and would also import into iMovie.

  • Images lose quality when imported into Pages

    Hi,
    when I import images into Pages, they lose quality. They are normal jpg files.
    After the import they look a bit fuzzy. I dunno why...
    thanks

    In the Inspector "Measures" there is a button allowing us to reset to the original size.
    Of course, the picture will be smaller than the blurred one
    or
    will be too large and parts will be hidden.
