Photos in High Definition

If I shoot a video in high def, how can I add photos and have them appear in high def? The photos are good quality (1.5 - 2 meg jpegs)
Thanks

Hi(Bonjour)!
As your HD sequence is 1920X1080 pixel frame size, your photos have to share the same dimensions for a one-to-one ratio. However, if you plan to do some "ken Burns" effects, use a photo's size that can be used without needing of using a scale larger than 100%.

  • IDVD doesn't process AVCHD video and high definition RAW photo files

    Hi everybody. I have a brand new Canon VIXIA HF S10 and 5D Mark II. I tried to make a movie out of video shot with the camcorder using iMovie and then I burned a DVD with iDVD. I also made a slide show out of RAW photos made by the 5D. And I encountered such a situation when the movies I made seem to be missing some frames. For instance people move discretely instead of smoothly as in the original video. As for the photos they come out not to be of high definition and don't fit to the whole TV screen. I mean if I burn the photos to a DVD in Jpeg they look perfect. I set all the setting to HD but still get poor quality.
    Have anybody dealt with the same situation or I should try more professional soft like Cut pro or DVD pro?

    IDVD can't process AVCHD. I use Toast to do that. Import your pictures or slides into IMovie and export them via Quicktime if you want 1920x1080 or via browser if you want 720P. Than you can us the browser in Toast to create a DVD in AVCHD. It will play in a blu ray player but NOT in Mac OSX. You will need to use Native Windows via Boot Camp and a Blu Ray player in your mac if you have one. Otherwise a Blu Ray player in you TV system should work.

  • Still Photo's and High Definition Video.

    Would there be any advantage to scanning photo's for High Definition and then converting them to Standard Definition? Or would you just scan them at a higher resolution.?
    I'm looking for a way to have clearer photo's and at the same time use them in a standard DVD player.
    I'm in the need of a video monitor and trying to decide if there would be any advantage to moving to high definition to be ready for the future when I do not have a need for it right now. I use mostly still photo's in my videos.

    As for the phpotos I would always scan or produce them at least 2x the target resolution in each direction - especdially if you're doing moves. If you know you won't be doing moves, then you can prepare them at exactly the target resolution (including the pixel shape if you're using say NTSC standard or anamorphic).
    Since you're looking at protecting for an HD future, assume that target resolution is... 1080x to cover your bases.
    Don't know what you're scanning, but watch out for moire patterns coming from halftone dots in printed photos. There are ways to deal with them, poke around here or better yet in Photoshop or other graphics forums.
    As for an HD monitor, prices will of course plummet just after you buy it. No sense in jumping on a bandwagon you won't even be using yet. If you're serious about quality, get a broadcast SD monitor.

  • A How To: Create a Widescreen High Definition Slide Show from the Organizer

    [EDIT] I just tried another one and, weirdly, that produced an output with black bars around all four sides! So maybe this 'how to' is not 100%.  I have considered deleting the post altogether but, as it does still produce a superior slideshow quality file than the standard ones provided with Elements,  I've decided to leave it with this edit added at the top for additional info.[END_EDIT]
    In answering a question in another forum I found a nice quick way to create proper widescreen high definition slide shows from just the Elements Organizer. Apologies if this is 'old news' to readers, but I've not seen this described elsewhere so I thought I'd share it.
    The Organizer Slide Show creator, if not wanting to edit in PRE, provides a small set of Windows Media Player profiles to create .wmv files. But the best of these goes only to 1024x768 (a 4:3 monitor resolution setting). I've noticed, but never paid much attention to, that at the bottom of the Slide Size box there is a 'Browse for more' option that lets you search for additional Windows Media Encoder profiles. Investigation showed me that I can download the Windows Media Encoder software from Microsoft and create my own profiles. But even further investigation showed  me that someone had already done this! I've tested their full HD profile and it works just fine (1920x1080).
    So if you are just after a straightforward slide show (i.e. not needing PRE features) but want it displayed on your Full HD TV set here is what you do:
    Download the HD Profiles from http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/236895-hd-profiles-for-windows-movie-maker/. There's also a couple of useful SD sizes there as well. Save them somewhere you can easily find them.
    Create your slide show in the Organizer. Obviously use appropriately sized images for HD. There's little point outputting an HD wmv file using low resolution and/or 4:3 aspect ratio images.
    Save and Output your slide show.
    In the output dialog ('Save As a File') scroll down to the bottom of Slide Size and select 'Browse for more ...'.
    Browse to the file you downloaded in step 1 and click Open.
    Click OK and your Widescreen HD .wmv file is prepared.
    Here's a Gspot analysis of my test output file. As you can see it is an HD file with a 16:9, square pixel, aspect ratio.
    Ta Da!
    Cheers,

    You did not mention a specific Premiere Elements Elements Organizer combo for this, so for now I will address this from the version 11, not Windows Movie Maker, perspective if I need to get version specific.
    .prx
    The Browse for More is a well known route and does offer at least one Adobe profile for 1280 x 720 16:9. I am not sure where you came up with the lesser resolution,1024 x 768 that you mentioned. The Windows Media profiles have existed for several versions of Elements Organizer. Those Adobe ones that you do not see under Output Save As A File Movie (.wmv), can be found in the Windows 7 or 8 64 bit path
    Local Disc C
    Profile Files (x86)
    Adobe
    Elements 11 Organizer
    Assets
    Locale
    en_US
    tv_profiles
    in the tv_profiles Folder are included the .prx files
    .....10. 640 x 480 Enhanced Definitions
    .....12. 852 x 480 Widescreen Enhanced Definition
    .....14 1280 x 720 Widescreen High Definition
    A homemade 1920 x 1080 16:9 30 frames per second .prx has long been sought but not that easily produced by many using with the Windows Media Encoder Editor. Apparently you have found one online, and it does get accepted into the Premiere Elements 11 Browse for More choices. And, if you do a gspot readout for the wmv output from Elements Organizer 11, it will display all the "right" properties that you hoped for and that are shown in your screenshot.
    The bottom line, why bother with the wmv slideshow? If you take your original photos and size them for 1920 x 1080 16:9, use them in the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor (Crops used in preferences), use the Edit with Premiere Elements Editor command, what you get in Premiere Elements 11 is full and good in all regard. Have you tried it?
    I can see your interest if this is HD going to HD (AVCHD on DVD or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc, but I do not see this for an Elements Organizer Slideshow that is going to DVD-VIDEO widescreen.
    More later.

  • Import of a high definition camera JVC for iMovie is that possible?

    GZ-HD7U JVC is my digital HDD camcoder. I can import video by firewire cable?
    When it does, does not appear any image. This camera is not on the list of cameras compatible with iMovie, but is recognized by the program. In spite of achieving import the recorded files in the camera for Mac by USB port, open in quick time and export in DV for iMovie for editing, but I would like to write directly into the Mac by firewire port, but I can not. The program does not read any image by firewire. Someone could help?

    Hello again,
    I apologize for not checking the spelling.
    Anyway, just looking for any advice to make a High Definition Photo Slide Show. I will buy more software if I have to. However, I cannot see that Final Cut will let me do this either.
    Merry Christmas Everyone.
    Craig
    I have a nice collection of professional quality photos. These 8 megapixel images and are 2000 line plus resolution. When I use these for a screen saver on my iBook the detail is fantastic.
    I have made a nice DVD using iMovie and iDVD. It looks pretty good. But the resolution is not that high. I understand that iMovie reduces the resolution on slideshows since it know the photos will be shown on a TV.
    I have tried making the same DVD from the beginning using the 720p and 1080i settings in iMovie and then import into iDVD.
    The final DVD is recognized by the high end DVD player as a 1080i format. However, the slideshow look not better than standard resolution. And I have tried all the various TV connectors (component, composite, HDMI, DVI, coaxial, etc). No difference.
    I would appreciate any input.
    Do I need to buy Final Cut Express to get a true 1280 line photo slideshow.
    Thank you in advance.

  • Using Sony High Definition Camcorder with Premiere Elements

    My computer is a HP Pavilion Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 CPU, [email protected] GHZ, 1.59 GHz, 1.99GB of Ram. It is used solely for music(SONAR and Band in a Box) and photo/video(Adobe Premiere) software and never used online. My computer says that in my C drive I have 159GB of free space, total 224GB. In my D drive I have 376MB free space, total 8.63GB.
    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0, plus Adobe Premiere Elements for Windows XP. (Old versions, I know)
    Up until now I've transfered and edited what I've filmed and created productions with no problem what-so-ever in Adobe Premiere Elements using my Panasonic MiniDV camcorder. I now have the Sony HD (high definition)Handycam HDR SR11 and it's much more complicated to get my recorded images transfered to my Adobe software.
    I can't figure out how to capture from the camcorder directly into Adobe Premiere Elements? I'm having to transfer it to my computer hard drive first and then add the media to Adobe Premiere. I have to record in SD (standard definition) to even do that.
    Also, I can't figure out why the images once tranfered into Adobe Premiere Elements, are playing back misshaped (subjects are either elongated or short and chunky)?
    Am I doing something wrong?
    Doesn't my version of Adobe Premiere Elements work with this particular camcorder?
    Is it just a matter of upgrading to a newer Premiere for high definition/standard definition camcorders to work? If so, which one?
    Thanks for any help!
    Carolyn

    As stated by Peter use AVCHD Upshift from VASST or upgrade to PE7.
    Also you need to set up your hard drives properly.
    The best way is to have 2 seperate hard drives. One small one for the OS and all your other programms and another large one for all your work. Hard drives are never to be partitioned. This slows down the workflow.

  • Standard Definition vs. High Definition Video on Mobile Me

    Can anyone tell me whether a video shot with a high definition camcorder, then edited in imovie 09 and shared to mobile me via IM 09 look better when played on mobile me than one shot with a standard definition camcorder?
    I have a video shot by a friend in standard def, edited in IM 09 and embedded on a web page. Had it been shot with a high def, would the quality on the web be better than what is seen here?:
    http://web.mac.com/pyrrhonist/Pyrrhonist/Clown_Video.html
    Dennis

    What codec is used for MobilMe. The Apple site only talks about Photos on MobilMe!
    H.264
    Does MobileMe recompress your uploaded video like the other services?
    No it is h.264. Not converted to Flash like YouTube. Plays in QuickTime Player.
    Can those with Windows view with Firefox and/or IE?
    Yes, but they are prompted to download QuickTime player if they don't already have it
    What is the frame-size for Medium and Large?
    Large - 960x540 (in widescreen)
    Large - 720x540 (4:3)
    Medium - 640x360 (in widescreen)
    Medium - 640x480 (4:3)
    What is maximum the frame-rate for Medium and Large?
    I have never seen a maximum
    Why would one need to download since it is streaming video?
    It takes a long time to stream. I have found that if I provide the option to download, a lot of people think something is wrong and they try to download it rather than waiting for it to start streaming. People expect streaming video to start right away. Most will not wait 5 minutes.
    Downloading takes a long time, too.

  • OT - Opteka High Definition Slide Duplicator for Canon Digital Cameras

    I was on Amazon today and I noticed an Opteka High Definition Slide Duplicator Slide Copier, Model: SLD-A620 (to fit my Canon A620). It is also possible to buy one to fit my husband's Canon G5. Price range is about $60.
    We do not have a slide scanner (just an Epson 3170 Photo flatbed scanner), so this caught my attention. I did not realize that slide duplicators existed for Canon Powershot cameras. Does anyone have any experience with the Opteka products ? Is this worthwhile and if yes, should we use the G5 or the A620?
    Barb O

    I haven't used it myself, Barb, but I hear good things about the Opteka.
    Which camera do you prefer for normal shooting? That's the one I'd use. (I love my A620.)

  • PE7 unable to recognize Canon HV20 as High Definition

    Hello Everyone:
    Unfortunately like some of you that probably want to try your hand at high definition editing, I just bought PE7 a couple of days before the announcement for PE8. For some reason I find that PE7 (and my previous PE3) cannot recognize my Canon HV20 as the high definition camera that it is.
    I can easily import regular dv-avi from this Canon but when trying to import the files as HDV, it does not recognize the camera.
    The camera is connected via firewire and is recognized as 'DV' Camcorder but not as an 'HDV' camcorder. The footage has been recorded in High defintion 1080.
    I hope that one of you with this type of camera can help.
    On another note, is it possible to record into PE7 with HDMI?
    Thanks,
    Lucio

    Lucio,
    Perhaps a different capture card is needed or Vista Ultimate (instead of the Home Premium that I have).
    A FireWire connection should be all that you will need. No "capture card" would be involved.
    There don't seem to be many setting available for transferring beside an 'AV-DV' on-off (which I keep on).
    Because my Canon is an SD-only unit, I can't really check its manual to help you. This line puzzles me a bit. What happens if you set this to OFF? Considering the number of menu options and switches that I have on my SD camera, I'd have expected your HD/SD unit to have more possible settings, but maybe I'm wrong and Canon has simplified things a lot.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • After updating to windows 8.1 iTunes does not think I have high definition display. Playback with other internet apps is in high def, but not iTunes.

    I updated to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8.  Now when I try to play high definition movies, iTunes says they can not play back on my display which is low def.  My display has high resolution and display settings are correct.  Other websites play back in high def.  Just not iTunes.

  • What EXACTLY are the 4 NVIDIA High Definition Audio devices on N570GTX - Win 8.1

    Hi guys,
    one of my rigs runs an N570GTX on Win 8.1 64bit.
    In Device Manager > Sound, Video and Game Controllers, there are 4 "NVIDIA High Definition Audio" listed.
    I use 337.88 drivers (NVIDIA Control Panel version 7.7.760.0).
    What is the purpose of EACH of these 4 devices:
    As a side note, my other rig running an N660GTX on Win 7 64bit only shows 1 "NVIDIA High Definition Audio" in Device Manager > Sound, Video and Game Controllers.

    Okay, by examining the devices (enabling, disabling, reading driver data), I can conclusively state that one of the drivers (in my case residing in Location 1) is exclusively tied to the HDMI port on my GPU –  when I disable it, my HDMI device (I have only one; shame, because I can't isolate the devices better) stops being listed in Windows Sound Control Panel; when I disable all other devices except that one, my audio over HDMI works fine – this leads me to believe that the other ones are not really essential codecs required for HDMI audio, but are instead related to the individual audio outputs.
    In summary, assuming the other two devices (residing, for example, in Location 0 and Location 2) are for audio output on DVI ports (usable via DVI->HDMI adapter/cable), there's still one NVIDIA High Definition Audio device (residing in, say, Location 3), which doesn't seem to be in use in relation to some sort of global codec mechanism (since I can disable it without affecting my HDMI port audio output), that is unaccounted for!
    Any idea what other output can the remaining device be linked to, since GTX570 has no S/PDIF pass-through connector on the board itself (to connect it to the motherboard's S/PDIF output)?
    Could the remaining device be there only as a legacy stub for S/PDIF connector which was present on the pre GeForce 400 Series cards, since they share the same NVIDIA drivers with the post-Tesla series?
    But in that case, why does my GTX660 list only one NVIDIA High Definition Audio device in Win 7 64bit?
    Quote from: Nichrome on 02-July-14, 19:33:05
    Apart from the sound you can get through HDMI (which would be 1 or 2 of these in management), it provides your board with some "HD Sound Drivers" which takes another 1 or 2 of these.
    I have quite few of these too even on my old laptop (with Nvidia card): x4 Nvidia High Definition Audio, x1 Cyberlink WebCam, x1 Realtek HD and x1 Bluetooth sound.
    Your specs read that you have a GTX770 running on Win 7 64bit; do you also have four of the Nvidia High Definition Audio devices? Or just one? Thanks!

  • Why isn't my high definition video converting to standard definition?

    What I'm describing here, I've successfully accomplished many, many times using Premiere Pro CS5 and now Premiere Pro CS6. Now, for the first time ever, it's not working and I'm completely baffled. (This is a high-end Windows 7 64-Bit machine with 16GB RAM running Premiere Pro CS6.)
    Here's a basic summary of my workflow. Nothing out of the ordinary here.
    1. I shoot my video using a high definition camcorder (the same one I've been working with for the past year or two.
    2. I import my high definition video into a 1920x1080 sequence in Premiere Pro CS6.
    3. I edit my sequence until I'm happy.
    4. I enter and name my Encore chapter markers in the sequence.
    5. I create my Encore project and import the sequence as a timeline and set up my menus and such.
    6. I build my Encore project, first into a standard definition DVD image file (so I can later burn SD-DVDs) and then build it again into a high definition Blu-ray image file (so I can later burn Blu-rays).
    The Blu-ray burn is turning out just fine.
    But the video in the DVD burn is all black. I can jump around from chapter to chapter and I can hear the sound, but the video doesn't show up!
    I tried this a couple times thinking that maybe Encore just messed up the SD-DVD creation process but I got the same result each time. When I preview the project in Encore, it all looks just right.
    So I figured, okay, something's not working when I import the sequence.
    I went back to Premiere Pro thinking I'd just export my 1920x1080 sequence into a widescreen standard definition AVI and create a new sequence just for the standard definition DVD.
    The exported AVI is black as well!!
    I don't get it. Why on earth won't my high definition video convert properly to standard definition?
    The high definition sequence looks completely normal in Premiere Pro. What could I possibly be overlooking??
    One final note. Just as another test, I copied and pasted the sequence in Premier Pro, truncated it to a couple minutes (the full sequence is 90 minutes long), and exported to a widescreen AVI again.
    It just finished, I tried playing it back in Windows, and it, too, is all black, sound but no video.
    Like I said, this is nothing new for me. I've done it countless times with other projects. I could really use some assistance with this one.

    So I exported my completed high definition sequence to an MP4 and re-imported back into Premiere Pro. Right-clicked it and created a sequence from the clip. Then I imported my chapters from the old sequence into the new one.
    I returned to Encore, modified my project to work off the newly created sequence (what a pain having to recreate all the scene links) and voila, it had no trouble making a DVD this time.
    So I guess I'll get out of the bad habit of my old routine and create a sequence the "right" way from now on. Funny how we get used to doing something one way and stop thinking outside the box after a while.
    Jim, I don't see how that's necessary. As long as I create an Encore project based on a good high definition sequence, I have never had to do anything other than have Encore build a standard definition DVD based on the high definition sequences. It has always done the conversion for me and produced really good DVDs. Once I create a DVD image that I'm satisfied with, I simply have Encore build a Blu-ray image using the exact same project, and that works perfectly as well. I suppose I may be missing something here but it all works and works well, so I don't see a reason to create two projects when one works well.
    On a separate note, is it just me or doesn't everybody think it's high time that Adobe offer a feature to import markers from one sequence into another. I can do it automatically but I have to use a macro that I created separate and apart from Premiere Pro. For that matter, I think Encore should also offer a feature to remap all scene links to a new sequence instead of forcing me to fix them one by one myself.
    Anyway, thanks to all of you for pointing me in the right direction!

  • HP High Definition Audio Device Code 10 Error -- Causing HDMI Sound Problem

    Hey guys, my laptop is an HP ENVY TouchSmart m7-j010dx Notebook PC, running Windows 8.1.
    When I connect my laptop to my LG Smart TV through HDMI, I cant change the playback device to play the sound from the TV. The HDMI option does not appear in ¨Sound¨.
    When I look in Device Manager, under Sound, video and game controllers; the High Definition Audio CODEC has an error which says (Device status):  
    This device cannot start. (Code 10)

    The requested operation was unsuccessful.
    I have tried reinstalling and updating the drivers, cleaning and defraging the registry, optimizations etc.
    I followed steps from other posts with similar problem as mine and nothing seems to work, I do not want to reinstall my windows just for this! I am running out of options, I tried everything I could for the past week. I would really appreciate some expert advice.
