Not good quality when keyed over video
When I import a LT project into my PAL Anamorhpic project in FCP and place it in V2 over my video, the aliasing is terrible and even when rendered looks like bad resolution!!!
I am obviously doing something basic wrong ? Any ideas ??
First make sure your LT project properties match your sequence settings in FCP

Shane's Stock Answer #2: Blurry playback
ONLY JUDGE THE QUALITY OF YOUR MATERIAL ON AN EXTERNAL BROADCAST MONITOR, OR AT LEAST A TV.
The Canvas shows you what happens after the codec you are working with has been applied. The Viewer shows you the material in its native format.
1. Disable overlays on the Canvas.
2. Make sure you've rendered everything (no green bars at the top of the timeline).
Video playback requires large amounts of data and many computations. In order to maintain frame rate and be viewable at a normal size, only about one-fourth of the DV data is used in displaying the movie to the screen. However, the DV footage is still at full quality, and is best viewed thru a TV or broadcast monitor routed thru your camera or deck.

My dvd's are not good quality when burned
I am exporting my projects by compressing them to quicktime and opening them in idvd. When I preview the movies they look good and have good quality, but after I burn them they are pixily or seem to look like videos when the tracking is messed up. I don't know how to fix this, are their special settings I need to fix before exporting??? Please help....thanx!
If you export to QuickTime Movie and UNcheck the "Make Movie Self-Contained" option, what you get is a very small QT file called a QT Reference Movie. (All it really contains are pointers to your FCE Project File + your source media files.) As long as FCE and iDVD (or DVD Studio Pro) are on the same computer, that's all you need. It's a real time & space saver.
If you make a Self Contained movie, on the other hand, you get a large file (approx. 13GB per hour of movie) that takes much longer to create. A real time & space hog, if you will.
You should not use FCE > Export > Using QT Compression if you are going to iDVD or DVD StudioPro to create a playable DVD. -
I am trying to connect a Macbook Pro to a projector for a Powerpoint presentation. When I use a VGA cable, the color of the projected images are not good. When I use a USB cable, the projected image includes the presenter notes on my computer screen?
To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
and select the Library that you moved. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

Best way to print an image multiple times on same sheet and not lose quality when doing so
Hello,
I have the full subscription to Adobe Creative Suite, but am unfamiliar with almost all of the programs. I have used Photoshop a bit, but not too much.
I have this project I do several times a year, and am sure there is a better way to do it.
I am sent a colourful excel spreadsheet - a schedule. I print a bunch of copies full size, then need to print 8 copies on a single 8.5x11 piece of paper.
I've tried several methods - but want to know what the best way to retain the best quality would be.
The best I've done (and I'm not totally happy with) is to copy the image into Photoshop, save as a PDF, create 7 more copies then merge as a single PDF and print.
I do find that the quality does suffer a bit.
Can anyone suggest a better way?
Thanks in advance.
AmberWith all the apps at your disposal, that is a long way around. Granted it is hard to not loose quality/data when scaling. But it makes sense to create the document to your liking, then create a new document that is 8.5" x 11" and place the original into it. Then using guides or alignment tools, duplicate that image.
This allows you to have full control over the location of each image, and extra data needed like captions, names, etc. and how that data is formated.
Luckily you have multiple programs that can accomplish this. Some are easier than others, some are more robust than others, etc. In the end it is what you are familar with and how much time you can spend on learning while getting the job done.
Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign are all your go to programs from creating anything for print and they can be used for other media as well. But that is their strong suite, print.
All three apps have their own dedicated forum on this site, so go ahead and mark them as your favorites as your questions for each need to be in their respective place.

Ico [desktop] and logo [mobile] not good quality
I need your opinion and help everyone.
If you look at my client's site HOME on [desktop]. Look at the .ico. Looks blurry.
and view my site on [mobile]. If you look at the logo. Looks blurry too.
It doesn't look professional. I saved the logo as PNG and I also try to place it on site as PSD. But still.
If you have suggestion how to save or maintain good quality photos let me know!
Thanks,
DebsCreate your favicon at 32 pixels by 32 pixels in size saved as PNG.
Separately, avoid resizing your images slightly in Muse. For example the image on your home page is 814x251 but it's sized on the Home page to be 810x250. When Muse sees an images that's very nearly the exact size it's used on your webpage, Muse won't resample the image. Instead it will just pass it through unaltered. However, if the image is slightly smaller in the browser, the browser will have to resize the image and this type of slight resizing (whether done by Muse or the visitor's browser) will soften your images.
For the best quality on your final site, you either want to place/import fairly high resolution images and let Muse resample them down. (Resizing down from 2+ times final size will give better results than resizing down from an image that's only slightly larger.) Or resize your images outside of Muse (i.e. using Photoshop's Save for Web feature) and then don't alter the size of the images once they're placed in Muse. -
App not working properly when access over vpn
hi,
Strange behavior of application when access through vpn. The application keeps on reloading endlessly. And other application renders completely but when the tab is clicked it will reload the whole page displaying the same tab. Is ADF has an issue when access over proxy?
Both application is build using ADF 11g and is implemented through regions.
Thanks in advance.I think there something to do with PPR or calling the region or am I missing something? The page that keeps reloading has taskflow with activation is immediate but the refresh is set to IfNeeded. Then the page with tabs, the content of the tab are taskflows as well.
Thanks in advance. -
How to get clips to appear in good quality when editing?
I worked with PE over a decade ago when I had a PC. In 2008 I migrated to Apple -- specifcally desktop Intel duo-processor Mac, OS X Snow Lion 10.6.8. So regretably I was forced to leave PE behind and begin using Final Cut Express 4.0.1. Recently I bought a new HD camera so I thought it was a good time to return to PE 11 since the program is now being made for Macs too. (I had missed the Organizer tremendously!) Before working with my new camera however, I could not resist importing some old standard definition clips into a timeline to play around with. Well they look horrible in the viewer -- all pixelated and poor quality! I selected the clips, pressed render and nothing happened. I am used to automatic rendering when editing in FCE so that what you see in the viewer is what you get, of course unless you run into compression issues later on. But I need to see what I'm editing and can't do that with this poor quality. So what is the problem? The clips are all in .mp4 or .mov format. The .mp4 clips were shot with a Panasonic SDR-H85P in that format and the .mov clip was converted from DV footage on a tape recorded with a Canon ZR900.
Also, I am used to seeing and working on a minutia level -- sometimes frame by frame with a "blade" tool in FCE. I switched to expert view but still can't tell where 1 frame ends and another begins. Is there an easy way to do that?
Thanks!Thank you for your helpful answer. Regarding frame view, I found the options you indicated. However, I think my issue has more to do with "timeline view" if you will. For example, in Final Cut, you could press "option +" several times to "lengthen" the timeline which in turn would "stretch" out each frame to an extent necessary to make really precise edits on a minutia scale. Then in order to "compress" it so you could see the entire timeline on the computer screen, pressing "option -" several times would bring it back down to that size which was handy for seeing exactly where all your other effects on other timelines were arranged. Does that make sense? Is there a way to do that in PE 11? It's zooming in and out of the timeline essentially in order to see more of the detail while editing.
Regarding the poor quality of playback, I was able to correct the problem by setting the playback settings to "highest." That was a relief. Also the clip properties did match the project properties, but if I had wanted to change project properties, I don't think I could have because so many of the options remained blanked out or unavailable -- all light in color not allowing me to access them. Don't know what the term for that is but you probably know what I mean. So does that mean that project properties are always automatically determined or must they be preset somehow? Any direction on that issue would be helpfui because I also work with infrared clips a lot from a Bushnell camcorder and often combine those with regular video clips. What is going to happen then? Again, thanks so much for your help! -
How Do I Change Video Output Quality When Capturing .DV Video From Camera?
I am experimenting with both this Premiere Elements 10 trial, as well as other brands of software, finding the best one to purchase for my needs.
In some other software, I not only indicate the source quality, but the output quality to the computer. If I want to upload the full quality video files to edit for retransferring back to a DV video tape, that's fine, but I will take up a lot of computer memory, relatively speaking. On the other hand, if I know that I'm going to be editing the video for replay on the computer or over the web, I can tell the program to upload to MPEG4 or some other conversion.
I am not seeing this as an option with the Premiere Elements. Can anyone tell me where, if possible, I can alter the output quality before the program begins the download? I certainly can find the input quality (such as .dv 4:3 ratio). I'd prefer not to always have to download the full quality video, THEN have to covert it as a separate step.
Thank you!The PRE workflow is (1) Create your project (2) import your assets (3) sequence and edit your assets (4) create your menus (5) share your project.
The quality of intended output has no effect on your project settings which should match your source footage. Done this way optimises PRE's performance - as it can internally process far more effectively when matched to a 'native' format.
For standard definition the ideal format for PRE is DV-AVI Type 2. This is almost lossless and operates at around 13GB per hour.
Compression to an output format (e.g. DVD, or an iPod, or viewing online) is managed through the share process.
You could:
Import your footage - e.g AVCHD, HDV, DV-AVI, VOB
Share it to a compressed format - e.g. MP4
Delete the original capture source (in Step 1)
Work in a new project using the compressed output (in step 2).
But if you do this your final output quality will be lessened through working with a compressed original that you will then compress again. I can't see what you feel you will gain by this - disk space is so cheap now why wouldn't you want to give yourself the best quality source to work with.
Note that once you are finished with a project you can archive it off to free up your disk space.
Cheers,
Neale

Repeating MIDI note is played when key held.
Apologies if the titled is confusing.
I have encountered a strange problem in Logic Express 8, which, as far as I know, is only affecting one project.
To help explain this, I recorded a demonstration and uploaded it to YouTube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9FTANszMH8
As you can see, I can hold a note on my MIDI keyboard and the note plays fully. But when I press play (or record) it plays a repeated note over and over, when I hold the key.
As it only seems to affect this project, I tried looking in the Project settings, but I've not found a fix yet. It may be something simple that I'm just missing, I've been using Logic for almost a year but every now and then I still forget things!
Any help would be great.

Images in Safari are not good quality
I've recently switched over to a MacBook Pro from my iBook G4 and one thing that is really annoying me and that I can't find a solution to the quality of images whilst internet browsing with Safari. It basically gives information of Shift + R improves quality of image, however I just want it to look in top quality all the time!
Thanks, I hope to have this resolved soon.
RussellActually yes!
I'm not familiar with fuse, but I found the action in line one of your third frame (on the main timeline) dubious, and a quick search lead me to try "portfolio._brightness = 0;" as first line (and I commented out the original line) that worked.
My quess is that whatever template or original file you've been modifing/adjusting used some kind of color-fade in at that point, and you somehow broke it.
To me it looks ok without it, but you let me know if you need further guesswork from me.
cheers

Very poor quality when importing a video done with CAMSTUDIO
Hi,
I am using a video done in camstudio. THe source video is perfect, very sharp all excellent.
when i bring it into Priemiere CS4, the quality ebcomes horrible making it almost unviewable (for annoying)
you cans ee here the final result (horrible)
http://vimeo.com/13357742
while the original result was awesome....
The video captures in Camstudio was full screen, the Premiere Settings where set at DV, Widescreen...but trying other settings didn't help either
Some help please
thank youWhat frame rate did you use for the screen cap?
What frame rate did you use to process the .camrec files?
What format and codec did you use to process the .camrec files?
Do you need to show the whole screen for the whole video? If so, you need a Pr sequence that matches the frame size of your screen cap. If you want to zoom in to highlight certain areas of the screen, then you need a smaller frame size for your Pr sequence, but it still should have the same aspect ratio of the original capture.
Finally, your screen cap is progressive. Make sure your Pr sequence is set to No Fields.

When I take photos whit my IPhone 4 camera the pictures look great but recently when I send pictures to friends or try posting them on Facebook the photos loose their quality dramatically and the ones that I sent all look blurry and bad compared tothe original. Please somebody help! I always take pictures with my iPhone and send or post them and this problem is restricting me a lit. Thanks for your help :)
when I could open iPhoto the library had tripled... photos from years ago from my iPhone and iPhoto had somehow come back onto it (even though I deleted them), the "faces" files had turned into their own photos, photos tripled (some smaller versions some bigger), and loads of random clip art and images I had never seen was on it. There was over 40,000 photos. It was so weird
Nothing weird. That happens when you import one iPhoto Library into another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
As for deletions:
Drag the image from the Event to the iPhoto Trash. Empty it. Then Empty the System Trash. That removes it from the hard disk.
If that has failed in the past it was due to the Library being corrupted.

Iphoto .MOV issue - "a necessary data reference could not be resolved" when opening certain videos
I have recently perchaced a brand new Mac Book Pro. The apple store very kindly tranfered everything from my old Mac Book to my new Mac Book Pro. I keep my iphoto library on and external hardrive, which seems to be working fine since I moved everything. BUT..."some' movies won't play from my iphoto library and a window appears saying "a necessary data reference could not be resolved". I can find these videos when I search for them in finder manually (I backed everything up before I transfered everything into a file called TEMP VIDEOS), but why can't my iphoto application find them, like it used to...it still still should right!? Very frustrating.
Please help..
ThanksActually this happened to me today and although it would not let me play the file it allowed me to use that same file i had exported from iphotos but could not play and then it allowed me to open it in imovie (you can go to import and then get it from the desktop or wherever) although I made a couple of changes to it the main thing is once you drag it into the space to begin a new project you can then right click and select open in finder and that file actually plays......if its cause i made some changes to it i.e trimmed it slightly then its worth doing so.
