So many details go into a successful project or a not too successful project.
What version of Premiere Elements are you working with and on what computer operating system is it running?
What are the properties of your source media (video specifications, photo details as to how many and pixel dimensions of each), others....
What are you or the program setting as the project preset for the project?
What is the size of this project...duration in minutes, hours...? What type of editing have you done to the Timeline content?
What is your end product..DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc (standard or widescreen), AVCHD on DVD disc, or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc?
Have you kept in mind that no matter how high the resolution of your images they will be reduced to the standard for the video format? And, instead of getting a better result with high quality sources, you end up with the project stressed out to give a compromised project.
We cannot make DVD-VIDEO (720 x 480 NTSC) on DVD disc look at great as Blu-ray disc format (1920 x 1080) on Blu-ray disc, but we can help you get the best possible DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc product that is possible.
Have you given any thought to producing AVCHD (1920 x 1080) on DVD disc...typically will require a Blu-ray player for it.

  • Photos look blurry only when using Slideshow

    When I select an iPhoto album to view as a slideshow the photos appear blurry during the slideshow. When not using slideshow, when I open individual photos in iPhoto6 they appear blurred for maybe 2 seconds before snapping into sharp. The thumbnails are fine (sharp). But the photos stayed blurred in Slideshow changing from one blurred photo to the next - in other words useless. The photos are jpgs. I have no problems with any blur at all in Photoshop CS2. I assume I have to change some setting but I can't find any reference to this in iPhoto help. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Dave,
    On both my G4 and G5, I've encountered the same problem from time to time and here's the workaround that fixed it for me:
    Apply a filter to the images. I use the 3-Way Color Corrector since many of the photos could stand a little tweaking for TV anyway. Render them and they should retain their original sharpness.
    I have no idea what causes the problem, why it only affects some of the images and not all of them, nor do I know why re-rendering them after applying a filter works ... but it does for me.

    ps: another symptom that this fix takes care of is when you see a small shift (1 or 2 pixels) in the image's position as it comes out of a transition.

  • Photos Look blurry in the canvas when movie plays....CLEAR when I pause???

    I am using BMP scanned picture files here, so first off I wanted to know if this is at all contributing to the problem?
    I don't understand why the photo is blurrier when the movie plays, then gets clearer and more defined when i stop or pause the movie in the time line in the canvas????
    Do i need a filter applied or is there something else i don't know about?
    Thanks in advance guys.

    This problem used to dog me also when I first started on FCP.....but the moves on photos really do look crisp and smooth....
    One way to check the quality of the phots (without an external monitor) is to export a portion of you sequence that has a photo in it as a quicktime movie. Then open and play that quicktime in the quicktime viewer.....you'll be able to see the quality and smoothness of the final product....
    (Basically, when you see the quality of the photo in your fcp sequence (as it's paused), that's the quality you'll see once you export it and burn it to a dvd...)
    Enjoy.

  • Photos become blurry when imported to FCP X from iPhoto

    I'm using FCP X.  I have imported 18 high quality photos from iPhoto into my timeline.  When I play my sequence the photos appear blurry. 

    Do you have an orange render bar? If you do, Control-R will render selected clips and Shft+Control R will render all.

  • Photos are blurry on iphone 4

    My photos are blurry on my Iphone 4 why?

    More Info is needed
    Photos you sync to it?
    Photos you take with the iPhone?

  • Recently backed up iphone and half of the photos are blurry/disappear

    I just recently backed up my iphone after receiving a new handset, now half of the photos are blurry and when selected appear for about 2 seconds before disappearing into white. They still appear on the camera roll.
    I've restored and backed up twice, tried sending photos to myself, getting them online, and nothing has worked.
    Any idea if this can be fixed?
    It seems like the files are corrupt but I have no idea why considering there was no warning when I backed up the old phone/transferred the data to this new one.

    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?
    Post back with the result.

  • Photos are blurry after import

    I just downloaded Aperture.  All photos have been imported from iPhoto and looked fine.  I closed Aperture, re-opened and now the photos are blurry (the thumbnails are clear).  I can't make photo adjustments because it says offline.  What am I doing wrong here?  Why did it work prior to closing and re-opening the program?

    How did you import from iPhoto?
    The correct way would be as outlined here:
    http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/#chapter=4%26section=10
    Also check to see what your Preview size and quality are set to in Aperture Preferences (using Quality '8' and the resolution of your monitor - marked with an asterisk - should work well).

  • Why are photos so blurry inside and so clear outside

    My photos that I take inside are most of the time blurry and the ones I take outside are not. Why is this? How can I make the photos not blurry?

    Generally there is more light outside so the camera can use a faster shutter speed. This makes for sharper photos. Indoors there is usually less light resulting in a slower shutter speed. Any slight camera motion will cause blur in your photos. First thing to do is make sure you are holding the phone very steady when taking pictures.

  • Lock screen photo is blurry

    All of a sudden, my lock screen photo appears blurry.  I used different photos, including Apple provided photos.  No difference.  Home screen photos are not blurry. 
    Does anyone have a fix?
    Thanks.

    Apple clearly desinged the lockscreen to blur, whenever anything other than the TIME has to display there.
    Took me a long time to realize that, for me, the problem was audio playback. For others, it is notifications, texts, etc.
    Whenever you use AUDIO, the iOS displays the "playback control buttons" on the lockscreen, which causes the blurred background [presumably in order to better see the displayed info]. But, as soon as I PAUSE, the screen clears right up.
    If your issue is notifications, this should be fixable; because you should be able to NOT DISPLAY notifications on the lockscreen.
    I will be checking to see if there is an option to NOT display the "playback control buttons" on the lockscreen - given new control center, those buttons are no longer even necessary, especially when I can access the control center from the lockscreen.
    We need to request that apple add option to STOP blur effect on the lockscreen.
    You will NOT see this effect on the home screen; because, in theory, the iOS does not "display info" there - only icons.
    Hope this helps! Been very annoying for me, as well!

  • Why do my photos  appear blurry unless i'm online?

    SO all of my photos appear blurry or low quality and  they all have a small circle in the right hand corner as if it has to download them from somewhere. the only way they show the proper resolution is when i'm connected to the internet after a few seconds of loading. This is bothersome as i already have them all backed up using dropbox (not icloud i don't use icloud so i don't even know where it could possibly be downloading from) and i would like to be able to view my actual photos in their entirety. Any help is welcome. Thank you!

    This went wrong here:
    I went back and found the photos in the back up machine (25000) and dumped them on the iPhoto icon.
    Never import 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.
    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the link to the original photo.
    I would suggest that you restore that library from Time Machine again, and then try repair it.
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Photos Look Blurry on NTSC monitor when played from timeline

    When I play back jpeg photos from my timeline on my monitor, the pictures look a bit blurry, especially right at the end of my transition, such as a cross dissolve...When I stop the playhead on a jpeg, after about 1 second, the image becomes very sharp on the monitor...once I start playing again, the image becomes a bit blurry!

  • New PC, reinstalled CS4, photos appear blurry, but only inside of Photoshop???

    I recently upgraded to a new PC, on Windows 7.  I've finally finished reinstalling everything and getting things back to "working order".  But I'm noticing something very troubling.  When I open previously edited photos in Photoshop, photos that I considered "final" (meaning they were print-ready), suddenly appear blurry.  The same photos viewed on my website are crisp and look as I remember them looking...so it's not the monitor.  Which leads me to believe that Photoshop is doing something odd to these pix. 
    Anybody have any ideas as to why the photos would appear blurry, but only in Photoshop?

    OpenGL operation uses a smoother resampling, but if you're seeing it as "blurry" it could be that there are features configured on the GPU that suit gaming or something that are causing excessive blurring.  Normally the differences between OpenGL-based display operations and non-OpenGL are almost unnoticeable.
    Any way you could capture your screen with/without OpenGL and show what you're seeing here?
    Here's the same image screen grabbed at 71% magnification showing the OpenGL / non-OpenGL difference in display on a properly working system.
    If you're seeing more blurry images than the one on the left, then you have a specific problem you should work to get to the bottom of.

  • When I send a newsletter as a pdf the photos are blurry.

    When I send my newsletter made with Pages as a pdf the photos all look very blurry. I tried larger size files and same problem. I sent the original template with the Apple default photos and they are blurry as well. I've only looked at them on our two computers, both Macs. I size my photos no larger than 800 pixels on the longest side @72dpi. I have received a pdf newsletter made with Pages from someone else, and the photos look fine.

  • Why do my photos get blurry when they are enlarged to full screen from the disc I burn, or played on the t.v.?  I set the burn on the highest quality.  The photos don't look blurry when enlarged from iphoto on the computer.

    Why do my photos that are transferred from iphoto to idvd, and then burned on DVD, look blurry when the idvd is shown full screen on computer or on t.v.  They don't look blurry when I enlarge the iphoto pics on the computer.  I used the 'prof. quality" encoding setting before burning, and before putting photos on idvd.

    Hi
    DVD is as standard - only interlaced SD-Video (as on old CRT-TVs) and can never be any better than this.
    This is less than a quarter of Your Mac screen resolution.
    That's one part of Why You can see High res. on Your Mac - and not on DVD.
    Next part is what program is used to make the SlideShow.
    If You use iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - to make it - it too degrades the final result as non of them can deliver interlaced SD-Video to iDVD but only half (every second line in the picture)
    I use
    • iMovie HD6 or
    • FinalCut (any version) or
    • FotoMagico™
    As they all delivers 100% of what iDVD or Toast™ or DVD Studio Pro or Whatever needs.

  • My still photos look blurry on burned iDvds

    I've been trying to make a DVD of still photos. My DVD from iDVD is blurry when viewed. It's blurry wether I look at it on a TV or the computer, so it's not a screen quality issue. My photos are nice and clear on iDVD when making the disc, but the disc quality is horrible. Looking at the forums it seems that I'm not the only one with this issue, but all the suggestions either don't make sense to me or I can't make them work. It seems as though some have had success making an iMovie and then making a .mov file in HD, then dragging it into iDVD. I can't drag the .mov file into iDVD. I also cannot burn the .mov file to disc. I'm starting to hate Apple for telling me how intuitive my computer is. If it was so intuitive a computer dummy like me could figure it out. Very frustrated...

    Hi
    I think that this have several reasons
    • No DVD can do the same quality as Your Mac Screen - NON. DVD is as standard SD-video and can not be any better.
    • Assemble SlideShows in iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 then Send to iDVD - will make things even worse
    a. iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - can only deliver every second line to iDVD resulting in 50% loss
    b. Share to iDVD - makes iMovie to render and so bad - Better is to Share to Media Browser and from iDVD import from it's Media Browser - iDVD renders so much better
    So to get best quality DVD is not the way - Blu-Ray or photos on a memory stick can be so much better or even projected directly from the Mac - will give best quality possibly
    To get an as good DVD as possibly
    • Use a program that can do SlideShows and export them without any loss eg
    ◊ iMovie up to HD6 (previous versions)
    ◊ FinalCut any version
    ◊ FotoMagico™
    are what I use.
    I let iDVD do the rendering
    I use Verbatim DVD-R disks
    I set down burn speed to x4 (less burn errors and DVD works on more Players)

  • Photo merge blurry

    I just install Adobe Photo Shop Elements 13 for the sole purpose of dealing with HDR and other touch up issues to pictures. Well I perform a photo merge of a 3 sequence photos with different exposure, in the hope of creating a single image (Note- I also have Elements 10 witch works fine but I figure that version 13 will do a better job) to my surprise it does not work correctly.
    The result is a blurry picture like the picture is shifty this product is not working. This is a piece of Sh.... product that something that works on 10 doesn't even work on 13.
    These are the steps I did to deal with the HDR photos. Choose all 3 pictures from album, -Enhance - Photomerge - Photomerge Exposure blurry result about a 1/4 "  off.
    Any ideas other can cancel order.

    That isn't HDR, just FYI. But it's always been better at merging a single photo exposed different ways than merging bracketed shots. If that was your main reason for purchasing PSE I would suggest that you cancel the order, if possible, and invest in a true HDR program instead.
