Picture quality has jagged edges when people are moving

We have our settings right, but when we play back the video there are jagged edges around the people, especially when there is movement. Could the problem be that it is a digital ycc format and apple is switching it to RGB?

30" Apple monitor or no...you need a PRODUCTION monitor, or a TV to see a TRUE representation of the image:
#8 External Monitor Viewing.
Shane's Stock Answer #8:
A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Then go View > External video > all frames
Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

BT Sport Picture Quality has the quality been set ...

Hi
I'm enjoying watching the Norwich v Aston Villa match by mirroring it from my Apple TV to my 42 inch screen . I have no blocking issues with picture now which means that the capacity issue has been relsoved thanks. Looking at the players close up the picture quality is "good" but when the picture zooms out and when you have small people on the screen the quailty of the picture moves to "low" (Large areas of constant green).
Looks like some form of picture quality algorithm is being used to reduce the image quality.
Can BT please comment on this please?
If the quality can be improved a little more I would appreciate that.
Thanks
Brian

No, on a BT Vision+ box channels 101-104 are HD channels delivered over the Infinity broadband connection. You can see the 'bTV' symbol displayed after the channel name for them when you change to them. On the BT Youview box then come over the aerial as Freeview HD channels.
If you are getting a good picture for channels 101-104 over Infinity then surely that proves that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the HomeHub, the BT Vision+ box or the cabling.
I have no idea why you would get problems with the picture for channels 507-509 (and possibly 510-512 if you get them in HD) if 101-104 are working fine. That sounds like a problem at BT's end?

Imported images have jagged edges when scaled down

Perhaps I'm missing something really obvious (like the quality thing in the After Effects timeline), but I imported a Photoshop image, a logo, scaled it down to 15%, and it has jagged edges. Ditto for a TIFF version of same. Starting resolution is plenty large.

You can adjust the apparent size of the image in the "media" tab of the property inspector. Select the photo in the media bin (not the layer in the timeline), then the media tab in the insepctor.
try reducing the size of the image to the size you are scaling it to (of course, you'll have to adjust the scale property of objects in the timeline which use that image). for example, if the image is 1000px wide, and you're scaling it 15%, then adjust the media size to 150px and restore the scale to 100%.
YMMV but it's worked well for me. sometimes adding a slight gaussian blur helps (<.25). it would be more effective to scale in an image editing app (like photoshop) to the desired size, but this is more flexible.

Images have jagged edges when rotated in Keynote 6.1

After upgrading to Keynote 6.1, I'm having problems when rotating images that I've imported to my slides. Any time I rotate an image that's not on a 45, 90, 180 angle, the image has jagged edges.
Here's a screenshot as an example. The image is on 4 degree angle.
Any ideas?

Sorry, in haste I forgot to mention this also:
Use an appropriate slide size, as a minimum resolution I match the slide size (Keynote > Inspector > Setup Slide Size), to the resolution of the display I am using, in my case 1920 x 1200.
I always resize the images I bring into Keynote with the same pixel resolution as the slide size.

Photo has white edges when saved in Acrobat

I have a document in publisher 07 with a photo of a product in it made from Photoshop CS3 saved as a PNG24. No matter how close I zoom in Publisher everything looks fine.
When I create a pdf in acrobat using standard or high quality setting there shows white jagged edges aroung the photo. I have tried saving in a multitude of ways but cannot get those stupid jaggy edges to go away.
Is it Photoshop, Acrobat, Publisher??? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

I suspect it is a "feature" of publisher. That would be much like the white space added around the sides of a PPT when printing to the Adobe PDF printer (unless you click on print to fit) so that printer margins are observed (an assumption of PPT). In photos, a jagged edge might be desired for old-style photos and that is what you are seeing. I am guessing, but I would look for the feature in Publisher.

Jagged Edges - When compressing 50 minute clip - burned in DVDSP

I'm in the process of authoring four DVD's (mixed martial arts, muy thai etc) which was shot in HD on a Panasonic HVX-200 using the DVCPro HD codec, at 24 fps progressive.
2 of the four DVD's I'm having problems with jagged edges around the two fighters (two guys shot against a white backdrop), you can clearly see blocky artifacting around the edges of them.
I've tried exporting via compressor using a 1-pass VBR 6.2 Mbps min - 7.7 Mpbs max, imported into DVDSP, build the project, and then when I use the DVD player program, I can see the artifacting.
However, I have a couple of other clips on the DVD, that were exported the exact same way, and no artifacting is evident.
I tried re-encoding at a CBR of 7.7 Mpbs, no change. Any ideas?
One thing that I just thought of is that I have been using the same source folder when building the project as the previous versions (to save time rebuilding all the motion menus, etc). Could that be a reason? Would DVDSP be using some of the information from the older encoded video?
Any thoughts please.

Make sure that you are encoding for 24p. Set the video format for 720p, and the frame rate for 23.98. You should also be using 2-pass VBR, not 1-pass.

Jagged edges when playback is at 100%

I am on a Mac using CS 5.5 OS X 10.9.5
When I play back Sony NEX and Sony EX- 1 Clips at 100% I get jagged edges. When the clips are stopped or playing back at 50% the edges are smooth. What is the cause/remedy for this behavior. I would like to see smooth images no matter what the resolution.
The NEX produces .mp4 and .MTS files and the EX- 1 are .MP4,
Also when importing footage into PrePro via the import dialogue I can preview the NEX files but I can't see any previews the EX-1 files.
Thanks in advance

OK.
No need to be concerned at all.

Illustrator images with jagged edges when converting a document to pdf

Hi,
Illustrator CS6.
I created some images in illustrator. Saved the images as a .tff. Put the images in a Word.docx. Looks great. Convert the word.docx to a pdf and my images have jagged edges. I have anti-alaising check in my preferences but still the image looks bad.
Any suggestions?
thanks

Did you resize the images larger than when inserted into Word?
What resolution did you export the TIF from AI at?
What was the Anti-aliasing setting (type or art optimized or none)?
Are you using Word's Save As PDF, or the Adobe Acrobat add-on?
Are you viewing the result in Acrobat (or Adobe Reader) at 100% or larger?

Vector Circle Has Jagged Edges - Why?

I'm creating a button logo in Fireworks for print use and
wanted to use Vector shapes as I thought they didn't distort.
I'm working in CMYK at 300DPI.
So I start out with a white vector circle for the outer-ring
to the button using an Anti-Alias edge:
White
Button
Then I add the inner vector cirle, same deal as before:
Blue inner
circle
So far so good.
Now I add an outer bevel effect to the blue circle to give
the button effect and....
WOOOOOAAAAHHH!!!!
The blue circle's edges have gone jagged! What happened
there? I thought that Vector shapes retained their edges because
they weren't confined to tiny pixels. What's going on, why aren't
the edges retaining their smoothness once I've applied an effect to
the shape?

For now, if you recreate the effect with an inner bevel
instead you will
get rid of the jaggies. (softness = 7)

SVG symbol has jagged edges

I've imported some SVG images (simple vector shapes from Ai) but the images have jagged edges. Anyone know how to overcome this?

sorry meant to say that it works in idvd. When viewed on the dvd player or computer it looks very jagged.

Outlook 2011 on MAC Sent Items folders not syncing when items are moved and deleted

Emails in the in the inbox can be moved to different folders and they will update (disappear from the inbox) on the Macbook with Outlook 2011 . the Windows PC outlook 2010, Iphone and OWA update accordingly. Sent Items that are moved on the Macbook are only
moved in the Macbook. The rest of the machines still have the email in the sent items folder and the "moved" email in the folder it was moved to.
Redid the identity and its a new install. What is next? Sent items are changed on the Macbook more often and the changes need to propagate across all the devices.

Imported jpeg pictures jagged edges when in motion

When I import jpeg pictures into final cut pro I have a problem with pictures developing jagged pixilated lines throughout the picture when I put them in motion. I thought the image size had something to do with it but I reduced the size in photoshop to no avail. Any advice will be appreciated much.

Sorry to step in. I am about to upgrade to a MacBook Pro 17" and buy the Final Cut Studio 2. What is holding me back is I have experienced a similar problem to this string of comments and I am wondering if someone can help me.
I am trying to make a film for my wife's 40th and have a ton of high res JPEGs as well as a combination of HD video (MPEG4 format from the Sanyo Xacti HD1000) and other formats that I am currently having converted into digital.
Unfortunately the team at the apple shop here have had two problems:
1, when they import the high res JPEGs they look fine until after then rending process when they become pixilated. These are photos from a 10 MegaPixel camera.
2, The HD Video Clip (the MPEG4) format shows up as a green screen on their computer.
It turns out that they are still using the FCP version 6 and noone at the shop (Ultimate Apple Computer on Stanley Street) knows how to use it or fix the above problems.
I'll step up tomorrow and buy a the MacBook Pro 17" if I knew I could do this. Can anyone tell me how to overcome these issues?
Thanks
