Movie clips are out of focus

I imported my movie from tape into Imovie 8. The clips are sharp and normal in the bottom screen. When I place the clips in the upper window to make the movie they are not as sharp as below. Kind of out of focus.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Why are some of my photos tack sharp while others in the same series are out of focus?

    My camera is a Canon Rebel XS (dSLR) and I primarily use the 50mm f/1.8 lens. 
    I shoot in Manual Mode with Autofocus ON.
    I am having difficulty with my photos coming out incositant - some are out of focus, while others in the same series (taken a moment apart) are tack sharp.
    I've attached two examples - one of the out-of-focus image, the other sharp images (both have been blown up).
    It is not camera shake and my settings are identical for both photos. (ISO 200 | f/4.5 | 1/100sec in this instance.)
    This has become such a problem that I find myself needing to take 10x more photos of the same subject/pose in order to hopefully get one sharp image from the series.
    I have asked multiple people about this problem (though I have yet to take my camera and lens to a shop due to lack of funds) and no one has any idea of either what I'm talking about or what the problem could be.
    I would appreciate your thoughts and help!
    Thank you! 
    Fuzzy/Out of Focus:
    Sharp:

    This new pair of images does not look like camera motion -- this one looks like it missed focus.
    If you use the included Canon Digital Photo Professional that came with your camera, you can right-click an image and tell it show you the focus point which were used (the camera wont know if you did a focus-and-recompose technique... so if you recompose after locking focus then the focus points indicated by DPP wouldn't be meaningful). But I bring this up because it would allow you to determine which focus point the camera claims it used.
    I think you mentinoned that you used "One Shot" focus mode -- not AI Servo. One Shot should block the camera from taking the shot until it thinks it confirmed focus-lock on the selected AF point (or on at least one AF point it you allow the camera to pick from any of its available focus points.) In AI Servo the camera WILL take the shot when you fully press the button -- whether it successfully locked focus or not.
    That brings us back to the subject of the focus test.
    If you do not own a commercial chart, then you may want to download one from the Internet and print it. Here's a good site: http://regex.info/blog/photo-tech/focus-chart
    Print the chart and follow the instructions. I deliberately run the camera out of focus to nearest focus distance and force the camera to re-focus and shoot... and I repeat this at least a half-dozen times. I then repeat... but this time deliberately run the camera out of focus to infinity before forcing the camera to focus and take the shot.
    Track each shot as you do the focus test. You may see a pattern emerge (e.g. perhaps it nails focus when going in one direction to find focus... but misses in another, etc.) Such a pattern might indicate the lens is getting sloppy and needs service (it's usually not worth servicing the 50mm f/1.8 due to it's low cost.) The USM and STM lenses allow full-time manual focus override (even if the lens is auto-focusing). The basic auto-focus motor lenses (like the 50mm f/1.8) do not support this and forcing manual focus without disengaging the focus system can be harmful.

  • Urgent : Flash CC File is corrupted, symbol (movie clip) are empty, use count : 0 . ONE week of work lost, need help!

    Hello,
    I have been working on a Flash File with a lot of animations / symbols etc, and on thursday (during the Adobe Update), when I opened my file, all the symbol (movie clip) are empty, use count : 0.
    The size of the file is still the same though, 35mo.
    I had only this file, I really need help to repair it...
    Please let me know if you have a solution.
    Thank you!

    hi,
    Can you please share the file which got corrupted?
    Was the original file created in older version(CS6 and below) of Flash?
    Were you trying to open the file in Flash CS6?
    Did your original file had symbol names containing | : ; & * , etc.characters or leading/trailing spaces?
    Rgds,

  • The e-mail and bookmarks are out of focus or foggy

    The problem is that my e-mail and bookmarks are out of focus. When I run the mouse across it, it clears up. I've run every kind of software and nothing helps. I got in touch with My P.C. support and they didn't know or care to fix it.

    hello jims1914, please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]], or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in ''firefox > options > advanced > general''.

  • Flash CS4: why movie clips are static when exporting to video formats ?

    Does anyone know why the movie clips are non animated when I export my flash animation into a video format ?
    Please see the next flash example I made: (4 KB)
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22717206/Flash/flash_movieclip.swf
    And now see how it looks like once exported into video format: (160 KB)
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22717206/Flash/Video_movieclip.avi

    You must need a suitable codec for that like DivX codec, it will also import the nested movieclip animations. otherwise  whatever you have on the main timeline is exported for avi. you will get the codec on the export settings for avi.

  • Movie poster Artwork Out-of-Focus and blurry?

    Is anyone having a problem with movie poster artwork imported into itunes (added in the get info menu area for artwork) that now appears "blurry" or "out-of focus" in cover flow, etc. and the synced version in appletv. This happened right after upgrading to 8.0.1. My previous movie posters are just fine that were imported "prior" to upgrading to itunes 8? What gives? They are somehow blurry or low-res?

    I downloaded photos into iphoto
    From where?  Again, what are typical pixel dimensions of those photos that show blurry, i.e. how small are they?

  • Not all my movie clips are showing up on the stage or playing

    II have 8 movie clips in 8 separate layers on my stage; they
    are set to play one after the other. First problem - even though i
    can see them all on the stage in my Flash document, when i test the
    movie, only the first 5 clips are visible, and these are the only
    ones that play through.
    why aren't the other 3 even showing up??
    i can upload the file if necessary...

    i have been looking at yer FLA for 5 min and i have no idea
    after looking at your codes and MC setup
    why it wont work.
    I copied just one of the offending images to a new FLA and
    tested it and it works fine...have to get
    back to some client projects but will return to your problem
    later.

  • After December 2013 update PPro says merged clips are out of sync. They're not...

    After I downloaded the latest update (December 2013) and opened my feature length film project, almost all of my sequences tell me that the merged clips (dual system) are out of sync. Yet, when playing them back, they are all perfectly in sync. In fact when I use 'slip into sync' option, the clips go OUT of sync. One clip, for instance says: Video +10:14, Audio -10:14. They all follow the same pattern. Any ideas what this was caused by? Should I just ignore it? Thanks.

    same problem here, new merged clips are marked as out of sync (+- 10:15), allthough perfectly in sync.
    this happens independently if i check the "use audio timecode from clip" option or not.

  • Movie clips greyed out.

    I updated to 2011 and firstly could not see video clips in iPhoto. Downloaded 'Perrin' and i can now view them okay in iPhoto and in Quicktime. However, when i look in iMovie and try to import from iPhoto i am unable to import as many are greyed out.
    Any help appreciated

    Perian might make files viewable in player but it doesn't make them a format that's editable. Use MPEG Streamclip to convert to a editing format.

  • Clips are out of order when drug to Timeline

    I was working with final cut pro, showing a friend how to use it and ran into a problem that has never happened when I've used it on my machine. We did log and capture, and captured the video. then I went Mark-> DV Start/Stop Detect. From there I selected the first segment and the last segment and drug them to the timeline. once in the time line they were all out of order. Usually they are placed in the time line 1 through 80 or however many there are, one after another. There is nothing else in the time line. When I drug them this time they would be arranged in all different orders. Anyone have any idea whats going on with this?
    Thanks in advance.
    TY

    It goes by the Track # field, as seen in on a list in iTunes.  So, make sure the Track # field is correctly entered for each song when you review the album on a list in iTunes.  Also, make sure the Album field is entered identically for all the songs on the album.
    You can edit those fields by doing a Get Info on a song, and going to the Info windows's Info tab,
