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!

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.
    -Mike

    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.

  • Spinning ball when playing from timeline

    I keep getting the spinning beachball when I try to play clips from the timeline. They play fine in the viewer. My clips were captured to LaCie HD (which still has 19 GB free) and nothing has changed from other projects that have worked in the past.
    Any suggestions? If I can't resolve this, can I use FCE 1.0.1? Will it open my HD project?

    I have checked the FAQ at this location:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42978
    but do not see how to trash my preferences. Is there another place where I can find this info?
    Any thoughts on why this happens? I opened a new project in FCE 1.0 and was able to import the same clips and play them from the timeline with no problems. Sounds like a FCE HD problem to me.

  • No sound when playing from timeline

    I just installed the latest CS5.5 on a Snow Leopard hackintosh (dualboot os-x and Win7 64bit - all bought software) and I can´t get sound to work on the timeline in Mac OS-X.
    I´m trying to get this to work with a standard DV25 PAL file (but I´ve also tried default bars+tone).
    Sound plays back fine in Mac OS-X in Quicktime, VLC and Itunes.
    Sound plays back fine in the Source window in Premiere
    However, when I try to play back the timeline the audio master meter moves up and down as it should, but I can´t get ANY sound out of the speakers.
    I´ve tried all the audio hardware and mapping settings too without any success.
    Just thought I should ask in here. Any ideas?
    If I route the audio through my Blackmagic Studio card it all works fine.
    Hope to get a clever answer :-)
    Andreas

    I've heard of this error.  When you upgrade to Lion, it can remove the soundcard driver.  You'll have to use Multibeast to roll back and reload your audio drivers.
    I'm assuming your audio does not work at all and not just in Premiere Pro, correct?

  • ITunes skips the first milliseconds when played from the beginning..

    I have created some songs from my DAW that I wish to playback in iTunes.
    But it seems skips the first milliseconds when played from the beginning.. Probably the first 100 milliseconds.
    It plays correct in Quicktime Player.
    Anybody suggestions?

    Sorry, if you restored your iPhone from a backup of your iPod then your iPhone will end up looking just like what was on your iPod. Everything else will be deleted and, if you have no other backup, it is just gone.
    The restore function is not incremental. It does not add or merge content. It simply replaces every thing on the restored device with what is in the backup.

  • Layer disappears when playing from Flash Player

    I have a dotted line animation in a layer. It shows up fine
    when dropping to IE window but it disappears when playing from
    inside Flash Player 7. Maybe it needs a newer version to play it
    correctly but it's just a layer with a line in it. The SWF is
    created with Flash CS3. Maybe Flash Player 7 comes from Studio 8
    that is also on the PC.

    I just found that it plays fine on Flash Player 9 which comes
    with CS3. Some of the features probably are not compatible with
    Player 7.

    how can I export a video that will loop indefinitely when played from a usb drive?

    As far as I know, PPro does not have that capability
    If you were creating a DVD in Encore, you could put an "end action" on the video timeline to itself... so at the end of the DVD video it would go back to the beginning
    I am not aware of any way to do that for a simple file

  • Macmini 2011 on lion, goes to a blue screen om monitor when awakening from sleep mode, last 3 or 4 seconds, can anyone help? Thanks

    Macmini 2011 on lion, goes to a blue screen on monitor when awakening from sleep mode, last 3 or 4 seconds, before desktop appears, can anyone help? Thanks

    Depending on the system configuration, this may not
    be unusual.  The Mini that I use for my home theater,
    which is connected to a receiver then to a TV, all via
    HDMI usually takes a couple seconds to come up just
    the way yours does.  Same happens when I switch sources
    on the receiver.  Actually, it starts with the blue screen and
    will sometimes flash before the desktop comes up.
    It seems that when HDMI goes dormant, there is handshaking
    that needs to be re-established, at least thats my SWAG on it.
    On the other hand, the Mac Mini Server that I use as a work
    station and is connected to a Thunderbolt Display, wakes to desktop
    in a second, maybe two.  On this combo, it just comes up to
    the desk top.
    It also probably depends on what processes were active when
    the Mini was put to sleep.  So it may take some time for it to get around
    to reloading the desktop.

  • 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?

  • All photos look blurry

    somehow while experimenting in iphoto all my pictures that were there now seem blurry?
    Any way to just make them all back to original look.
    Im also wondering if theres not a better mac program for just storing my photos ?
    Thanks
    Allan

    Allan
    What sort of experimenting have you been doing? Some things to check: look down right a the slider, play with that a little?
    As to "just storing my photos": The Finder will store your files. What else do you want?

  • Flash Video Looks great when i play localy but is very grainy when played from a server

    What could be going on that would cause my flash video to look terriable when played off a server, but look great when played localy?
    the clip is encoded in f4v and is about 3 min long, when i test it i use the same html file and browser,  the only thing that changes is, local vs server

    here is a link to the clip   the issue really stands out at about 19 sec into the clip where there are some animated lines that flow around http://www.autical.net/saver/
    below i added screen shots the top one is the local and the bottom one is the server
    i guess i used the term grainy incorrectly,  i should have said blocky

  • Sound but no video on tv monitor when capturing/viewing timeline

    Can someone please suggest a solution to my problem? It seems that my settings have all of a sudden changed and I can no longer view the video on my tv monitor when capturing or when playing the clips in my timeline. I've already checked to see that I'm using "firewire" settings.
    Any ideas what the settings should be?
    Thanks!

    I'm gonna jump in here as I'm in the same boat....
    I'm having trouble connecting my camera as a d to a converter for monitoring.
    Firewire out from computer to DV Camera / camera analog rca out to monitor. Camera shows input from lens on monitor. FCP is set to - video playback>firewire>ntsc. External video> all frames.
    What do I need to do to allow throughput from FCP - camera - monitor?
    Thanks for the tag-along....

    Hi King_Penguin,
    Earlier I had a Windows XP and iPhone4. So photos taken from iPhone4 were copied to Windows XP machine using iTunes and then iTunes syncs these photos to iPad.
    Now that Windows XP is no more and instead now I have a new Windows 7 machine and my Macbook. I didn't copied the photos from Windows XP to some external storage medium before dismantling that windows XP machine.
    So the only location where these pics and videos are available now is my iPad (1'st Generation).
    WIll a new copy of iTunes on Windows 7 be able to copy the pics and videos from this iPad?
    Any suggestion?

  • IMovie 13 - initial frames stuttering when played from a DVD

    I've edited a short movie (my first) on iMovie 13 and saved it to file and thereafter burned it to a Verbatim 4.7 DVD+RW disc.   The movie operates fine when played on QuickTime but stutters for the first 30 seconds or so when played on my TV via a DVD player.   Anyone got any ideas as to what might cause this and suggestions as to how to fix it please?  

    Hi
    Most common origin to this are:
    Brand of DVD used - NoName, Memorex etc cheap brands might work as Data-DVDs - BUT NOT as Video-DVDs
    Type of DVD used - I only use SL-DVD-R as they also playback on older DVD-players. DVD+R for newer DVD-players. Never ever DVD+/-RW. Dual-Layers usually creates more problems than Single-Layers
    BURN SPEED - Very IMPORTANT factor - I never go faster than x4 - Normally I use x2
    Material used - Video Codec, Photo and Audio file formats
    Video-Codec: StreamingDV, AIC and HDV (I use)
    Photo: .jpg - NO .bmp or other - all converted to .jpg first
    Audio: .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or 44.1kHz (as on Audio-CDs) - NO .mp3, wma etc ailient formats - all converted to ..aiff 16-bit 48kHz or 44.1kHz first
    Free Space: on Start-Up (Macintosh HD) Hard Disk - I never go less than 25Gb when doing Video-DVDs (for SD-Quality Video - if HD material is used 4-5 times more are a safe low level) (Other external Hard Disks - DO NOT COUNT as space here can not be addressed by Mac OS or iDVD for it’s massive use of .temp files)
    Dusty DVD-burner Laser: I use a Cleaning DVD (no liquid but the one with brushes) from time to time.
    Harmed DVD-burner Laser: Easy to do by burning more than three DVDs at a time - I let it rest for 30 minutes till next batch of three DVDs. If this happened - then only a costly repair will help. It will not heal by it self.
    OBS: There are more than one Laser in the DVD-Burner so other functions might work OK as Playback CD/DVDs and even burn CDs. Still being broken.
    Yours Bengt W
