Pixelated problem with PE 12

I am trying to create a video of still images. I brought the original images into my organizer and they were clear. When I bring them over to my video editor and play them, they become very pixelated. However, when the video stops, the images become significantly clearer. I have tried rendering and it does not help. I saw on another discussion to try publishing and watching the video on Windows Media Player. However, this did not help either. The images are of varying sizes. Some are scanned in and other are images off a digital camera. They are all in the JPEG format. Could anyone tell me why this happens or if there is anything I can do to get rid of this problem?

Ok, I believe that fixed the mapped art's resolution issues. But one other question, the 3-d bottle that the artwork is mapped to, has a rough edge to it that is still pixelated. I can take it into photoshop and clip out that 'edge' if need be, but I'm still wondering if there is a setting I'm missing here. Thanks again for all your help!

Pixelated Problem with 3D Mapping in Illustrator.

So here's the situation as best as I can recount it. I created a 3-d revolved bottle and lid in Illustrator, back in probably CS2. Since then, I have been unable to get the bottle, or it's mapped image to appear anything but pixelated and nasty. Which makes it pretty useless, really. Recent 3-d revolves with mapping seem crisp. Is this original file just unusable and broken in some way? I have tried re-mapping the imagery and re-creating the symbol used for mapping and have not produced any different a result. My only other thought is to get a real bottle, print the label for real somewhere and take a photograph if I can't get this to work. ;) So, is this a new problem, or a problem from an earlier file? Has anyone else had this issue? I'm using CS3 now on a Mac G5. The file opens in CS3 fine, although I did have to re-map the image map symbol for some reason.. it seemed to think it was on the back or inside of the bottle when I opened the original file.
I know this is pretty vague, but I really don't have much experience with 3D mapping in illustrator.

Pixelation Problem with Compressor

Not long ago a friend helped me create a showreel in Final Cut Pro, which I then compressed in Compressor for the web. I was able to get the file to a reasonable size and still look decent. I used an mpeg-4 profile, and also resized and cropped the video. The final video was about 20 megs. We just updated the video and although I'm using the same profile I used previously, now the video is appearing very pixelated. An example of how it looks in the preview window, as well as how the final exported video looks is here:
homepage.mac.com/thegoblincleaver/.Public/screengrab.jpg
I have tried turning up the bitrate to insane proportions, fiddled with the pixel shape, etc. My friend is just exporting the master as DV PAL. I'm bringing that video into compressor and even when I change the settings I get a similar pixelated effect.
Here is the profile I'm using if it might help someone advise me:
homepage.mac.com/thegoblincleaver/.Public/webreel.setting
The previous video that was successfully outputed from Compressor is here:
www.brettbunting.com/showreel
Oddly, if I simply export this video from quicktime pro, I dont have this issue. However, Quicktime doesn't really give me all the options that I am using in compressor...
Sorry that was so long-winded, I am really just at a loss for how to continue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brett

Looks to me like we have the same problem.

Pixelation problems with Live and Recorded Viewing

I'm having massive pixelation when viewing live HD channels or viewing recorded HD shows. When watching live TV the problem is active when I turn on a 2nd TV. We had tech support out and the trouble shooting did not resolve the problem. They thought it was related to bandwith. I'm not well versed on the technology, and don't feel as if I need to understand why their product is not working as it should. I'm paying for a product that is not functioning. What do I need to do as a consumer to obtain the customer service that is expected from AT&T?

Call and schedule another tech visit...Or download the Hyatt app, login with your att email account/password, run the troubleshoot test. This runs 5 tests, any problems found with these will help create a service ticket, if receive a green check mark, no problem found within tests ran. As you report increased issue with two TVs on, I suspect your on coax with cable issue. Inside wiring issues are billable, minimum $99 labor plus $55 for each cable run.If coax cable, looking at ends (compressed not screw or from), cable itself should be RG 6 not RG59, old wall plates, splitter (should only be one, Holland brand). If replacing the physical connections do not work, actually cable bad (store bought, RG59) best to either install up to two wireless receivers (one time charge $49 each) or have tech replace coax with cat5 ($55 per line) Are other issues possible, yes... But coax best describe your issue....Other possibilities include flaky receiver (replace receiver), failing port on RG (replace RG), or other wiring issues outside or inside... Test at nid for errors, no errors at nid is inside wiring issue. Foreign voltage from TV (especially newer TV with amplifier) needing TV grounded requiring you to have grounded outlets (electrician job if not grounded), bad ac power, many use power strip that goes flaky replace the power strip or plug direct into wall outlet. As problem is listed as recent, something changed, what is question and who is responsible for repair (paying to fix). If can rule out inside (electric/cable runs your issue) then equipment and outside is company issue. Request another service call, a fresh set of eyes main reveal something previous tech missed.

Apple 30" inch Cinema Display pixelation problems

This is following on from a similar thread which is as yet unresolved the thread was called "30" with edge effects, green pixels?"
My setup is Mac Pro 3GHz Dual Intel (Brand New)
Graphics Geforce 7300 GT with a brand new 30" apple cinema display.
The problems is that pixelation occurs at random times and is only solved by changing the screen resolution down and then back up to its native setting. Is there a away to solve this problem. Someone on the thread mention above thought that it might be a syncing problem between the monitor and the card but the thread was never resolved and it is dated October. By the way I have check whether its plugged into the correct port and it is so any suggestions or bug fixes would be helpful thanks.

I've had my 30" display for 1 year running on an "old" G5 with an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro card (along with an "older" 20" Apple Cinema Display, the one with the plastic bezel). No problems with the 30".
A few weeks ago I got a Mac Pro with the ATI Radeon X1900 XT card. That's when I got the green pixelation problem. I thought it must be the card (since the monitor works just fine on lesser cards...), so I took the entire Mac Pro and X1900 to the Apple Store and hooked it up to one of their 30" monitors: no pixelation problems after over an hour of test running it with Aperture, Safari, etc. ****. I began to think that Apple has made some sort of change in the more recent 30" monitors to avoid the problem; either that, or my monitor is old and tired after only 1 year.
My 30" still runs fine when I put it back on the old 9600 card; it does ok (with only Minor intermittant pixelation lines) on the original (lesser?)card that came as base equipment on my Mac Pro; and it has the MOST pixelation problems with the BEST card (the X1900). Perhaps these 30" monitors can't handle all the data being sent by the more powerful cards? Is that possible?

Alpha channel problem with Pixel Bender blendShaders

I'm using Pixel Blender to try and create a blend shader for a Flex 4.0 app.
It looks like this:
<languageVersion : 1.0;>
kernel PixelReverse
<   namespace : "com.abc.def.filters";
    vendor : "EdAlive";
    version : 1;
>
    input image4 foreground;
    input image4 background;
    output pixel4 dst;
    void
    evaluatePixel()
        pixel4 fgPixel = sampleNearest(foreground, outCoord());
        pixel4 bgPixel = sampleNearest(background, outCoord());
        if((bgPixel.r == 0.0) && (bgPixel.g == 0.0) && (bgPixel.b == 0.0) && (bgPixel.a == 0.0)){
            bgPixel.r = bgPixel.g = bgPixel.b = 1.0;
        dst.r = 1.0 - abs(fgPixel.r - bgPixel.r);
        dst.g = 1.0 - abs(fgPixel.g - bgPixel.g);
        dst.b = 1.0 - abs(fgPixel.b - bgPixel.b);
        dst.a = fgPixel.a;
It looks correct in the Pixel Bender preview window.
When I use it in a Flex project with proper 32 bit png images, the filter seems to work correctly, except it sets any partial alpha value on the images to fully opaque (like a 1 bit alpha channel).
Because the image preview looks correct in Pixel Bender, I'm assuming it's a problem with the bitmap data that Flex is passing to the blend shader filter.
I tried changing the filter to simply output a copy of the foreground firstly, and the background second, to test.
When returning a copy of the foreground, the imags weren't visible on stage, either because the pixels were transparent or because it was really returning the background pixels, camouflaging the images.
When returning a copy of the background, the images were just black rectangles.
The images are being place on stage programmatically inside an mx Module, and having their depth property set.
They also have draggable behaviour, where the current drag object is layered above all else during the drag.
I'm actually using a subclass of mx.controls.Image, but am simply setting the source property with preloaded bitmap data, so I'm am fairly sure the subclass is not a factor.
I hope this is enough information for someone to be able to provide some help.
Thanks

Problems with stuck/dead pixels, battery life, ICS, and other problems

Stuck/Dead Pixels:
I bought my Droid Razr at around the 21st of December last year. On or around Christmas, I found a bright red pixel on the very bottom of my screen. Unlucky for me, I was leaving for Florida on Christmas Night. I got back on December 31st. Sometime in the first week of this year, I visited my verizon store and told the customer service lady that I had a dead pixel on my screen and had just bought it. But, she told me that she needed the manager to fix this and there was no manager there. For the next week I was busy with school and sports etc and was not able to go back to the store. It was now past my 14 day return period. So I decided, its only one pixel, most people won't notice it anyway. So here I am 5 months later, just starting to discover more pixels dying on my screen. I now have the one bright red one, two light blue ones, and one dark red. I have no idea what the return policy is on defective phones, and the verizon site is designed so that you can't find anything. And an FYI, I have tried stuck pixel removers and other apps, which haven't been successful.
Battery Life:
I have also been finding more problems with my phone. The battery life is terrible when 4G and even 3G are on. I actually see no difference in battery consumption between 3G/4G. My battery dies about 4-5X faster when data is turned on, compared to using no data. I know it isn't because of the apps I installed since when I use WiFi, the battery is alright. I also make sure that my RAM isn't above 400MB, so that the processor doesn't use a lot of battery. I feel like I completely wasted my money buying the Razr. Mainly because of the fact that the Razr Maxx was announced two weeks later, which has about 80% more battery. Not only this, but I've seen the Razr selling for only ONE PENNY on amazon over the past month and it still is. I payed $300 on my Razr.
Ice Cream Sandwich:
After these major problems comes another one, that I bet all Razr and Razr Maxx customers are still thinking about. When will I get Ice Cream Sandwich? It is very disappointing when you are told that you will be getting an upgrade in early 2012, and are still wondering where your upgrade is 5 full months in. From what I understand, we won't see an upgrade until the end of June, since Motorola has posted on their website that "rollouts" would begin in the second quarter. Even if they release it by the end of June, when will it get to your phone? Maybe another week or two for some people. This is another thing that I feel I wasted my money on. My brother told me to get the Nexus because of ICS, but I trusted Motorola that they would upgrade my phone in a timely manner. WRONG.
Phone Freezing:
One more problem that I've had is that the phone will freeze. Usually you only need to turn the screen off and on, but once in a while, you have to completely reboot your phone. When I was coming back from Florida, right as I was about to get home, my phone completely froze. I was about to go return it, but after about 15-20 minutes, it became unfrozen.
Motion Sensor not functioning:
Another problem, an annoying one, is that sometimes the motion sensor that controls portrait and landscape mode will just stop working. Some of the games I play are completely dependent on the motion sensor. It is very embarrassing when you are trying to show off to an iPhone friend and major components of your phone aren't working. They always tell me "why didn't you get an iPhone?". And I really just wanted to have a phone that didn't look like everyone else's, but I guess that comes at a cost. When the motion sensor stops working, I have to shut down my phone and restart, which takes a couple minutes.
Problems with camera:
My last problem would be with the camera. Sometimes if you bring the camera close to something, like a barcode, it will keep trying to focus, but never will. Another problem is photo quality in low light situations. It seems like the camera can't focus because it goes from being very dark into being bright because of the flash. I doubt this can be fixed because it's hardware, but a potential fix could be having the option to keep the LED light on during picture mode, that way the camera will be able to focus correctly.
In Conclusion:
I really just want someone to tell me how to return my phone for a new one, due to the dead pixels. I also wish I could be upgraded to the Razr Maxx because of the poor battery life on the Razr, but from what other people are saying, that probably won't happen. And finally, if anyone has more info about Ice Cream Sandwich, that would be awesome.

Well since it's a Manufacturing Error it should Fall under your Warranty if you got one with your Razr. You know you can Call C.S. an they can Assist you with the Matter on it.. Just remember to have another phone so they can Trouble shoot the One that is Experiencing the Issue an when you talk to them go over thing. An they should send you C.G.A.N unless they request you to send it in before you get anther one. If you feel Better going to the Store try that. And Good Luck..

Problem with Pixel Bender

Hi - I am 85 years old and not very experienced with computer jargon etc. My problems with Pixel Benders only started after I recently had my Dell 64 bit computer upgraded. Previously it used Windows XP and had 4 gigs of RAM my graphics card had only 64 MB. HOWEVER, before the upgrade Pixel Bender filters worked perfectly, I have a folder in "My Pictures" that contains 65 images that have all been treated with a variety of P B filters, I am very pleased with the results. My software includes Photoshop CS5 also Lightroom 3.
My upgrade, done by a professional technician, involved, wiping my internal hard drive completely (everything was backed up on two external hard drives) the installation of Windows 7 - 64 bit and additional RAM (it now has 8 gigs) When it came to re installing the Pixel Benders it was a nightmare. I had to make several calls to Adobe technical support before it would download I even had to allow the technician to access my computer. The next problem was that the Pixel Benders would no work. I looked at the Adobe Forum and found that others had experienced the same problem. One solution seemed to be to install a graphics card with more MB, I therefore bought a GeForce GTSD 250 that has 1 GB of RAM. Whereas the 65 pictures in my Pixel Bender folder are 2000 pixels on the longest edge using my new system and graphics card the Pixel Bender filters will not work on any image that is more than 1000 pixels on the longest edge. Can anyone out there explain the reason for this?

Adobe Photoshop CC, problem with color noise/pixelation on the monitor display

After downloading Adobe Photoshop CC, my images come in with color noise/pixelation on the monitor display. I've tried checking the color space preferences, but this doesn't help. I didn't have this problem before. Is there anything else I can check? There's no problem with LR, just Photoshop.

My performance settings are: Available RAM 10905 MB/using 7633 MG (70 percent); cache levels 4, history 20, cache tile size 1024K. However, I noticed under Graphics processer settings, it is set on Advanced Drawing Mode - perhaps this should be changed to Normal or Basic Mode? Your help is very much appreciated.

IDVD problems with pixelating

My wife is working on an iDVD project of old and new family photos. She is having a particular problem when playing the dvd back on a television.
She shows a close-up of an old photo that was scanned into the computer. She then zooms out and creates a still image of that photo using "save frame as." She then adds a title that is not as long as the entire clip so it splits the clip.
When we play this back on a television through a DVD player, the second one (without the title) distorts and becomes somewhat pixelated. It is worse on some photos than on others.
Is this a problem that can be rectified with a slower burn speed? We don't notice the pixelation when we watch it on our computer prior to burning. Help us if you can. Thanks!

Temporary SOLUTION!!!
Mac know about the problem with iDVD6 and are working on it!
iDvd 6 doesn't understand volume changes / audio clip changes (cuts) in the second/ bottom audio track..... This is causing major hassles for dialogue drops in backing audio with iMovies putting forward a perfect film that iDVD6 can't follow!!
In the meantime an Apple support guy called Ben Donelly ( God Bless Him!!)
Has found us a lifeline!!!
This is the temporarfy work around.... and you must watch the clock time wise in iMovie and garage band ( which you're going to use!) so that you can change the up's & down s in volume in time with footage.
Firstly import your audio files to GARAGEBAND (the guitar symbol!!)
click the disclosure triangle for the track.
( i did this by exporting from iTunes!)
Change the track volume by selecting master then deal with it as you would in iMovie.
When you've done all your changes ( Cuts can be done too!) at the time points you have in iMovie export the whole track to iTunes by choosing share.
In I movie select the new song you have titled in the media section of iTunes!
My faith is Restored!!!
Thank you Ben Donelly!!

Exactlly which model iMac do you have?
see > How to identify iMac models
Unfortunately that is not all that uncommon for the Early Intel iMac's given there age and the fact that the air intakes are probably choked with dust. Then add the extra heat caused by running a more intense OS X which is causing it to run a little warmer than normal and putting extra stress on the graphic and display components.
My 6½ year old 17" Early 2006 Core Duo w/2GB of RAM is also running 10.6.8 and is also starting to get a single line that (knock on wood) goes away after a few minutes, while many others started getting permanent ones after 2 or 3 years. One thing that I think has helped, is that about every 3 or 4 months I shutdown and vigorously vacuum out the bottom grill work and small vent under the stand to keep it running cool.
On that note: unfortunately I can only suggest that you clean your intake vents and hope that no permanent or irreversible damage has been done.

MacBook Pro display....problem with coloured pixels appearing

I wonder if anyone can help - I have recently noticed on the left hand side of my display on my MacBook Pro that there is a large number of coloured pixels appearing more and more by the day. I have had the MacBook since Christmas, and it has been treated very well, i have never dropped it or damaged it in any way etc. At the moment the pixels aren't causing too much of a problem but i don't want it to get any worse. Has anyone had similar problems, and if so any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance

I haven't had any luck what so ever - only thing left for me to try is to completely wipe the system and re-install everything from scratch, if that doesn't work then i think i'll be contacting Apple..... which i should have done already to be honest, would have saved a lot of time and hassle! Only difference between mine and what your describing on your Mac is that the pixels are visible at all times on mine, no matter what apps i'm running etc, it is definately a problem with the screen.....i'll keep you updated with any developments

Hi,
Sorry but I am unable to see the picture. I guess you probably might want to contact a third-party vendor or someone knowledgable in electronics to help you repair/replace the screen.

the same result.
-How did you get the video from this camcorder to your computer?
Files are copied to the flash card to the HDD.
-Have you ensured that a video clip from this camcorder is the first clip on your timeline so that the program can match its project settings to your video specs?
Yes. Video clip from this camcorder is the first clip in the timeline.
Parameters of the project and the video above.
-When your project settings match your video specs, you will NOT see a yellow orange line along the top of the timeline, above your video clips, in Expert mode. Is this the case with your project?
No. I suspect that the problem occurs in the video is displayed on the timeline.
Because the assets of the project and put the video thumbnail is displayed on this video.
at the time of the drop on the timeline displays only rectangular frame that meets the duration of the video itself. let go of the mouse button. Displays only the blue rectangle.
Thumbnails of the first and last frames do not appear. takes 2-3 seconds and Pr closed.
I believe that until you see the yellow line is not reached.
-Have you ensured that any photos you use are sized to no larger than 2000x1500 pixels in size?
Yes, size is not more than 2000x1500
- You're using a somewhat antiquated 32-bit operating system that can make limited use of your RAM load (which may explain why you only have 3 gigs of RAM), so you'll need to optimize your workflow by matching project settings to your video as closely as possible in order for the program to work effectively and stably.
yes, you're right. need to upgrade to 64bit. so I put 4GB of RAM, but I can not install 64bit Vindovs. no time. and available only 3.25 GB.
I would add, I hope it will help isolate the problem.
I've been tracking work in process monitor Pr. the very moment when it closes when you move the video on the timeline.
begins after the closing lines
Registry
RegOpenKey
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\ContentAnalysisData.dll
