My Imovie looks great on mac but it is discolored and grainy after I export to dvd. I need help, it looks awful when projected even playing from my mac.

It's my understanding based on what another long time contributor stated that Share to iDVD converts direct to a MPEG-2 format and drops it directly into the iDVD Project for you. Share to Media Browser saves it to .MP4 (actually .m4v which is what apple uses for iTunes video,etc) then that gets converted by iDVD into MPEG-2. So something about the export direct to MPEG-2 when you choose Share to iDVD is introducing the problem. That's why Share to Media Browser seems to get around that limitation, it uses a different encoding path altogether.

Imovie looks great on computer but

When burned to a dvd, there are momentary blips/shivers in some of the images. Any idea how to correct this, or what has caused it?
Thanks,
Chickie

Hmmm - I'd try stepping backwards through the video creation process to see where the blips are being introduced (assuming the video noise wasn't there in the original recording).
1) Try the DVD in another player (is it always the same image that blips?).
2) Within iDVD,use Preview to look for blips.
3) Use Finder to open the iMovie "package" and find the Quicktime version of your movie to check it for blips (right click/Show Package Contents/Shared Movies/iDVD).
4) Use the Full Screen mode in iMovie's preview mode to check for blips there.

Avery project looks great on preview but PDF is skewed

I have tried browsers IE and Chrome and been on tech support with Avery for an hour and even uninstalled adobe.
the project looks great on preview but then when the PDF opens to print the spacing is messed up

How are you creating the pdf? If you are not using Acrobat or the CreatePDF service we can be of little help. If you use Acrobat, please post in that forum. If you use the CreatePDF service, please post there. If you are using an Avery Service, then you need to work it out with them.

Last week I've install Mac OS X Mountain Lion and then after the installation finish my IMAC start up in verbose mode. How can I turn off this mode and start my IMAC normally. I've try to key in the code "sudo nvram boot-args=" in terminal also.

Thank you for all of your answer.

I've seen it mentioned on here that a PRAM reset may solve it:
Reset PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P and R.
You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Issue with photos in iMovie - looks normal in timeline but won't play

I'm having an issue with importing photos into iMovie. I've done it many a time without trouble but suddenly, when I really need it...ahh!
The problem is with a video I've already exported once—I'm not sure if that's related. I created a slide in Powerpoint, made it into a jpg, then dragged it into my timeline (also something I've done before without issue). It looks totally normal in the timeline, but when I play the video it shows a still from the previous clip instead of my photo. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Gah. This is where I'm at...I'm using the code from above and
my mp3 sound file is ID'd in the linkage properties as monkey7.mp3
and it's still not working.
What buttons should be checked in the Linkage properties? If
my id is monkey7.mp3 and I check the Export for ActionScript
button, my sound file plays multiple times and it still won't stop.
If I do the same thing but ID it as "monkey7.mp3", it plays
correctly but won't stop.
I don't know if this matters but my mc where my sound file is
located is one frame. Is that correct?
I'm sure the code is correct but I'm missing something and I
can't figure it out!

Looks Great on Mac - Lousy on PC

Wonder if anyone can help explain this. My site, newsroomconfidential.com, looks great on a Mac. But many of my friends who use a PC get bizarre colors and dropped text when they access it on Windows Explorer. What can I do to stablize the appearance across platforms?

Thanks for your reply. Do you think it would it make a difference if I hosted the same content with a different ISP? I host on .mac.
Chances are it's only looking lousy in the lousy IE
browser. Actually, I'd be willing to wager that it
probably looks fine in the latest version of IE that
comes with XP SP2. I've checked sites that supposedly
look bad on Windows with that setup and haven't seen
any major problems.
If your site NEEDS to look good on Windows PC's
running all the various bad versions of IE, there's a
way to do it, but you'd spend so much time
simplifying your site and NOT using iWeb's features
that it might be more worthwhile to use some other
app.

R6970 Lightning Crossfire looks great on DVI but it's whacked on HDMI...

I have an Asus Maximus Exteme IV MB with 2 6970's in Crossfire. I have two monitors. One is an older SyncMaster 910MP with a standard VGA input and a newer SymcMaster P2770HD. I have an HDMI going from card 1 to the P2770HD and a DVI cable with a VGA adapter going to the other.
The problem is that my picture on the older monitor is fantastic but the picture on the newer monitor is fuzzy and sort of looks over saturated by color. Text is not clear. Comparing the same video on each monitor shows blotching and uneven color tones while the older monitor is perfect.
The older monitor is at 1280 x 1024 32 bit 60Hz
The new monitor is on (under the HDTV settings) 1080p
There are "basic" settings for the new monitor, but the highest it goes is 1680 x 1050. The new monitor was running at 1980 x 1080 on my last system which featured a 5770 and ran off the DVI port and it too looked great.
Am I missing a setting for my monitor to run at 1980 x 1080? How do I add it in? Why isn't the "HDTV" 1080p looking great coming out of the 6970 Lightning?
EDIT: I tried to use both DVI ports (on the same card) and only the primary monitor is recognized. What are the limitaions are requisites for connecting monitors to CrossFired cards?

I found a fix and it's the weirdest fix becasue I was just fiddling with my monitor and going into every single sub-menu and changing settings to see what effect they may have on my monitor.
On my Samsung HD monitor, I go into the "Source List" menu and I choose "Edit"
The naming convention on that menu is :
PC : ----
DVI : ----
AV : ----
Component : ----
HDMI : ----
These coincide with all the different inputs available on the Samsung P2770HD.
I went to the HDMI : ---- selection and I was given a whole array of other choices; Camcorder,TV, IPTV, HD DVD, Blu-Ray, DVI, DVI PC, PC and a few others.
I changed it to PC and Viola! Perfect picture!
Now, my input reads "HDMI PC"; where as before it read only "HDMI" with no dashes. You only see the dashes if you go into the "Edit" menu for the Source list.
Thanks for the very funky menu Samsung! Not to mention the manual for the monitor that says nothing about this!
I think what this does is tells the monitor to expect the standard RGB (0-255) colors from the PC.
Anyways, this worked for me. I hope this may be of some use to another person in the near future.

My HTML snippet widget on iWeb looks great on iWeb, but when I publish the page the HTML snippet doesn't appear on the webpage. Why?

I pasted in some HTML code generated by Google Forms into the iWeb HTML snippet widget. It looked great on my iWeb viewer, but when I published it to my website, the HTML snippet google form did not appear on my webpage. Does anyone know how to fix this?

What is the code?

Have Imac with boot camp windows 7. Sound works great in mac but no sound in windows?

I have new IMAC 24 with snow leopard os and installed windows 7 ultimate 32 with boot camp. The sound works great when in MAC but there is no sound when boot up in windows.The mixers show a sound level as music is plaing but no sound out of speakers or earphones. I read on forum that many others have had same situation with Mac Book Pros and had success by downloading new realtec audio drivers, but my system has Cirius 2406 ab9 drivers and I can't find any replacements for them. Does anyone have a fix?

Keep on trying, keep searching as there are quite a few work around's for different issues.
One way is to reinstall the Boot Camp drivers and update them again via the Apple Software Updater in Windows. You did update them the first time, right?
Or extract the sound drivers from the Boot Camp package (or the DVD if you have it) and just install those again. You should find a few how-to's in the search results.
Sorry I can't help more...

FCP to Quicktime - looks great in QT but has drag on a TV

OK, have FCP 6 and everything going great. I had some files that were in AVI. I converted them using MPEG Streamclip to .mov format...so I thought. The first few did convert but then I wasn't watching and Streamclip set back to default and I accidentally converted some to "Apple JPEG A". I found this out later when I put it to DVD and there was drag (football highlight video) behind all the players running. Looked great on FCP and in Quicktime. BUT, when I dump to DVD and play on my TV the drag is there. The obvious solution is to take the AVI's that I messed up on and re convert them to mov. However, I broke the cardinal rule and dumped them. All clips look great, except the ones that went to JPEG A. I tried to reconvert them to mov but no effect. Any ideas....PLEASE? Why does it look good in QT but not on a TV?
Bryan

Does the outputted QT file have it's High Quality bit set?
if not:
Open it in QT player
command+j for the Movie Properties
select the video track and then click on the Visual Settings button
click High Quality button and save.

Text looks great in AE but terrible in Premiere Pro.

I am creating titles in After Effects for a video production in Premiere Pro, the titles look lovely and crisp in After Effects but when I import them to Premiere Pro they look terrible and blurry. How can I get them to look as sharp as they did in After Effects?

Hi, I'm using Premiere Pro CC and AE CC and am using the Dynamic Link to import the AE files into Premiere.
The PP sequence is 2 hours long and was shot at 720, it is still in the editing stage so have not rendered the full thing yet. I did try to render out a small section to see if the text got sharper but it didn't, and to be very honest I'm not sure what the best render settings are so have been using the H.264 YouTube 720 preset.....perhaps that is not the best but I am new to this and am learning as I go.
I have tried making the AE file much bigger and then resizing in PP to see if that helped, but that didn't work either.
My apologies for not giving the required info at the outset.

Purchased new mac, but lost serial number and no longer have access to registered email. Help

Hi,
As the subject header states, I purchased new mac, but lost my serial number and no longer have access to registered email. I had purchased the Creative Suite Web and Design C6 version. Support said they can only forward my lost serial number to the registered email. Since she was without effective tools, she recommended I post something on the forums for support. Anyone have the ability to get me back to using my suite?
Thank you,
Philip

Only the person(s) you spoke to have the ability to provide you with the serial number. People here can merely suggest where to look for it. If you registered your software when you installed it originally then you should be able to find your serial number stored in your Adobe account online in the Products section.
You might want to try updating your information in your account if the email is the only thing holding back from getting the info sent to you.

I deactivated my CS6 and uninstalled on my PC, so I could install CS6 on a Mac. I downloaded CS6 on my Mac, but when I try and put in my serial number it's is telling me that the number is invalid. What else can I do?

I deactivated CS6 and uninstalled on my PC, so I could install CS6 on a Mac. I downloaded CS6 on my Mac, but when I try to put my serial number in it's telling me the number is invalid. What should I do next?

IIRC PS CS6 is not Cross platform. It takes a different license key code for each platform. A License key for Windows won't work on a Mac and a key for a Mac won't work on Windows. You'll need to buy another copy/License for Mac OS X.
At one time Adobe did allow you to switch platforms by paying them some money and getting a Mac license key code which I think then Deactivated the Windows license key.
IIRC the CC version does allow you to install on EITHER platform. But only one platform at a time. You can't have one copy on Windows and another on a Mac. Adobe does allow you to install on 2 computers with one license key but it must be on the same platform (Operating System) and both computers and or install of PS CC can't be used at the same time.
