Poor quality slow motion

i have a montage of a wedding set to three minutes of music, all the slow motion video is choppy, when someone walks across the screen they appear to be stuttering. when viewed on the timeline the motion is smooth and just how i need it to be but when exported to apple intermidiate codec and burned via toast 9 the image is jittery, stuttering when we view it on our TV.
Desperate for answers as the finished production should be inthe hands of the bride & groom next week?

If this is a standard DVD, I think you'd be better off exporting a QuickTime movie from FCE and burning with iDVD. If you'll create the DVD on the same computer, leave the "self-contained" check box blank for a much smaller file and quicker process.

  • Poor quality of motion background menu

    Hello to all.
    For the first time I have made a motion menu with Encore CS5.1
    The video background of the menu is of poor quality. It seems that the frame rate is lower than normal.
    I have made an experiment:
    the menu shows a button which gives access to a video sequence which is the same as the background of the menu. The sources are strictly the same.
    The result is that the backgroud menu is of poor quality compared to the content linked by the menu although the assets are the same.
    The settings I have used are in the images below.
    You will see the video at : http://jp-tech.pagesperso-orange.fr/download/DVD.zip
    I have carried out different settings. The results are the same.
    Any help appreciated, thank you.

    Hi Stan Jones,
    Thank you so much for the reply.
    I am not sure I have well understood your advice. I think you told me that there is not enough bitrate for the audio.
    Anyway I have changed the settings as the following and the issue is the same. Best regards. Jean-Paul

  • Slow Motion Software

    I do a lot of wildlife filming in Africa. Can't afford a camera which will give me the slow motion option. Looked at the TWIXTOR software from www.revisionfx.com, who claim compatibility with PPro CS5. Has anyone any other suggestion of other software which works on a similar principle (creating intermediate frames) and produces good quality slow motion for HD?

    Yes, Twixtor appears to be the gold standard for this in the Ae community.  I saw a short film by a guy who was slowing down some footage to really small percentages, like 1%, and the outcome was pretty amazing, almost as if it had been shot with a high speed camera.
    The long render times are because Twixtor analyzes the clip before slowing it, and calculates motion vectors, and creates tween frames and blur in accordance with the motion contained in the video.

  • Camileo X200: poor quality using Slow Motion

    When I select Slow Motion function (snail) the image is seen with very poor quality and with noise.
    It is as if the camcorder was defective.

    Could this be helpful?

  • Poor clip quality after applying slow motion or stabilization

    I am making a movie.  Every clip that I change to slow motion, or stabilize (or add both to), becomes blurry.  I finalized it & put it on dvd to see if it still blurry on the tv, and it is.  Anyone know how to fix these clips so I can get the original clip quality with the slow motion/stablilization?
    Thank you in advance

    I am using PPro CC 7.2.1 on Mac OS X 10.8.5.  I'm working in software only renderer.  Just by applying a Three-Way Color Corrector or a Video Limiter (just applied, without any modifications... didn't test other filters), the photo quality is degraded.  The result is the same after exporting or rendering the sequence.  Tested in DVCPRO-HD and ProRes interlaced sequences, same result.
    Here is a photo without any filter applied to it (on the left) and with a video limiter (right) :
    On another editing station with CUDA enabled, the problem isn't there.  But not all our station are CUDA enabled, so I wish I could fix the problem.

  • FCPX choppy slow motion, picture quality and effects

    is it just me or does final cut pro x have really bad quality picture. two main things i have noticed in using this software is the slow motion is really choppy even after rendering out with optical flow and there is a lot of vibration in the picture. lines are jumpy and when adding effects it gets much worse, also there are black lines at top and bottom of screen.
    i was using edius prior to getting a mac and it was as smooth as butter, slow mo and all. im kinda bummed about the whole final cut thing.  please help.
    thanks.
    i dont think it has anything to do with my mac. im running a new imac 3.4ghz i7 quadcore 16gb ram and 2gb grafix card.

    yes, those are the properties i use.
    so there is somthing wrong with the picture?
    not just me?
    is there anyway to import it at 60i?
    for some reason it doesnt give me that option..

  • SAP B1 Patch 42 GUI, Vista SLOW MOTION

    Hi,
    I just don't know if I'm alone with this.
    I didn't find any thread about it.
    I've successfuly installed SAP B1 2005A SP001, Patch 42 on Windows Vista Home Premium.  Everything works find
    Except
    When windows pop, its slow like hell.  You know this animation when you open let say Sales Invoice window.
    Well in Vista, it takes at least 10 seconds like if everything was in slow motion.  But when the window is there, everything still works as normal !
    Any idea ? Any patch ? Anything ?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    Nice link but I'm not on version 10 but 42 and there's no error and no problem.  Just the GUI is slow.
    I don't think Vista is to blame but rather the poor SAP GUI which really need a fix since a LONG LONG time
    that would also probably fix the problem of .NET WinForms not sitting on top when called from SAP
    I'm more looking if someone knows something about it, a patch for the GUI or even a registry key that would disable the SAP window animation.

  • Codec quality of motion clip

    I have a question about codec quality when creating slow motion effects in FCP 6 vs. motion 3.
    I slowed down a clip in fcp 6 by 50% with simple frame blending and then sent the same clip to motion 3 and sent it through optical flow. While the clip from motion looks better I was surprised to discover the codec quality (when analyzed in fcp) stated it was of least quality and the same clip with the 50% speed reduction in fcp stated it was most quality.
    I’m confused. ? I’m screening on a monitor not the computer screen. I would have expected the opposite. Can anyone explain?
    Footage was shot DV NTSC 29.97
    Here is the analysis of the fcp clip:
    Video Track 1 (40.2 MB)
    Duration : 00:00:10:03 (at 100 % speed)
    Frame Size: 720x480
    Color Depth: 24-bit Color
    Codec: DV/DVCPRO-NTSC at Most Quality
    Frame Rate: 29.97 fps
    Average Data Rate: 3519k/sec (117k/frame)
    Here is the analysis of the motion 3 clip:
    Video Track 1 (11.8 K)
    Duration: 00:00:20:06
    Frame Size: 720x 480
    Color Depth: 32-bit Color
    Codec: at Least Quality
    Frame Rate: 29.97 fps
    Average Data Rate: 1k/sec (0k/frame)

    Perhaps the "quality" being referenced is simply the interlace flag. If you open the clip in QuickTime player, open the properties window (⌘J), and select the Video Track, is the High Quality box checked? If you check it and save the clip (⌘S), how does it affect the analysis?

  • DVD poor quality

    I just created a DVD but the video quality is too poor to use.  I get 'ghosting' or flicker with motion, which is 99% of the content.
    A client gave me 14 home-made DVDs containing video of high school basketball games and asked me to create a highlight video.  I edited the VOB files in Premiere CS4 (4.1.0) to pull highlights and compile them into a single highlight DVD.
    I exported the video to Adobe Media Encoder (4.0.0.374) to create a F4V file to be used on websites.  I used the standard preset.  The quality of the F4V video is good.
    I then used Adobe Dynamic Link to export to Encore CS4 (4.0.0.258).  I burned a DVD and the result was a DVD with poor quality.
    There is a brief clip in the highlight video that I recorded myself of the athlete providing a short introduction of himself.  That clip and the still titles I made look good on the DVD, but the highlight clips from the client's DVDs are very poor.
    From some of the discussions I've already read in this forum, I assume I need to change a field option or the Anti-flicker value under Effect Controls or something similar, but haven't figured out what yet.  Also, when I make changes to values, do I have to burn a DVD to see the result of the change or is there a better way to preview?
    Thanks for your help!

    It is very likely that the double MPEG-2 encoding is degrading the material too much. Is it possible to get back to the client's original tapes? That would save one MPEG-2 compression. Otherwise, what you have is probably as good as it will get.
    Good luck,

  • 16:9 JES deinterlacer slow motion

    I am trying to use JES deinterlacer to slow down a clip but cant seem to get the output in 16:9. I have followed the instructions below and keep checking the 16:9 box but the output is always squashed 4:3. I've tried fiddling with the options and cant seem to find an answer.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    From JES instructions.,..
    Slow-motion and fast-motion: In JES Deinterlacer's Project tab select "Project kind: Standards conversion". Select "Custom" and set "Movie speed: 0.5" for 0.5x slow-motion, 2 for 2x fast-motion and so on for other speeds. You can select speed ratios in the range of 0.1-10x with 0.01 decimal precision (with v2.7.1 the 0.1x may stall and with 0.2x the audio is out of sync. 0.25-10x are OK). THEN set the other options:
    For NTSC use "Settings/Height: 480, Width: 720, Frame rate: 29.97".
    For PAL use "Settings/Height: 576, Width: 720, Frame rate: 25".
    Check "Blend" and let "Scale only" remain unchecked.
    In the Output tab set "Video output/Compressor/Export: DV Stream.../DV Format: DV, Video Format: NTSC/PAL, Scan Mode: Interlaced, Aspect ratio: 4:3/16:9, Audio Format: Unlocked/Locked, Rate: 48.000 kHz".
    Let "Progressive (out)" remain unchecked. (Leave the other options as defaults).
    Select the output folder via "Put..." and click "OK" to start processing.

    I exported the clip as a full quality clip from iMovie5 (had to go back to it after audio trouble importing from my HDR-HC1). I get a .mov file and then use that as an input file for JES. The 'converted' file is a .mov.proj.dv file which looks like a squashed 16:9 in 4:3 window in QT. I tried importing it back into iMovie and it imports as a 4:3 with black side bars - no letterboxing. The project I am working on is a 16:9 HD format.
    I havent tried any other exporting yet as I'm fairly sure if they look that way in QT and imovie then that's probably how they are.
    I do notice that when I make all the settings in JES, as I outlined in my question post, once I change the aspect ratio to 16:9 and then close that window and open it again, the setting seems to have defaulted back to 4:3. I tried it several times... (Ver 2.7.3 - I think that's the latest)
    I really appreciate any advice.

  • Imported Video not in sync with sound. Video in slow motion...

    Hello,
    I am fairly new to Premiere and I wanted to spend some time playing around with it. When I import my videos, the playback is out of sync. The sound is normal but the video is in slow motion so it doesnt sync together. Am I missing something? Using Premiere Pro CS4 and filmed it on a Sony Xacti with MPEG4 AVC sequence.
    Thanks in advance.
    Steve
    Oh by the way, it seems to open and play just fine in any other media player

    Steve,
    Glad that you got some material to practice with. That was your goal here.
    Now, file conversions from compressed source material will usually not yield great quality. Unfortunately, the conversion process, unlike what some would love to believe, does not restore quality to the compressed material. It only changes some of the characteristics, but imporved quality is not one of them. Also, depending on the actual conversion program used, the quality can suffer even more. This is a fact of life in Video.
    Now, when you go to get your camera, there are many great threads on many camera makes and models already posted. If you cannot find info on your considerations, post to get recommendations, based on your budget and what you wish to use the camera for. I'm not positive, but I think that the new Equipment sub-forum would be a good place to ask. Previous posts will not be there yet, but will be in the general forum. Many, but obviously not all, cameras have been discussed in length, and their pluses and minuses have been debated.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Slow motion problem

    I'm using Shake's adaptive re-timing, but when I set the video to anything less than .5 speed (like .33, or .15) the rendered footage looks jerky and jitters back and forth when it interpolates the frames.
    I don't think this could be due to the deinterlacing, because it's the same despite what I set the deinterlacing to.
    MacBook Pro 17" Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8) 200 GB HD

    Retiming techniques have their limits. You can get optimal results beetween 0 and 50 percent max (normal speed to half speed). After that limit, the software doesn't have enough informations to reconstruct the huge time gaps between two frames, especially if the footage represents a high speed movement.
    Keep in mind that the retiming possibilities are for retiming, not for slow motion, there is no miracle at this point.
    For slow motion videos, use high speed cameras. Most DVCproHD cameras have the ability to record at 60fps full frame, that's a good start.
    For interlaced video, if you accept to loose image quality on the vertical resolution, the 25i format can be converted in a sort of 50p, that's not bad for low budget projects!

  • Poor quality burns

    My burnt discs are of poor quality. Some images are fractured around the edges. Others are simply not sharp. I have tried using both +R and -R discs but the problem remains. Very disappointing as I have been working through Final Cut Express HD for the first time. Any ideas?

    Hi
    Just to add to Kasas good answers.
    1. iDVD 6 has two levels of qualities.
    • Best Quality (movies up to 120 min) - slightly lower quality than - se below
    • Best Performances (movies less than 60 min) - Highest quality on final DVD
    2. From FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov
    iMovie - Don't use Share/Export to iDVD = destructive even to movie project and especially so
    when the movie includes photos.
    Instead just drop the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
    3. I use Toast™ to make an as slow burn as posibly eg x1
    4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disc. iDVD can't
    use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc).
    Yours Bengt W

  • Can Slow Motion Be Done in FCE?

    I have a video file that was shot in 720p60 (1280*720p @ 60FPS). I was hopping to be able to slow down this clip to 50% of its actual speed and get that nice slow motion effect. I shot it in 60FPS so that I would not get the choppy look of 30FPS when you slow it down. However, from what I can tell, FCE does not do a very good job of handling 60FPS footage. So my questions is, did I overlook something, or am I going to have to fine an other program to do this with?

    Would I not still get the same choppy quality you usually get when slowing 30FPS down to 50%. I was wanting the completely smooth slow motion like you see in professional productions. Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't you get the 50% slow motion effect just from playing a 60FPS file at 30FPS?

  • Strange "strobe" effect when doing slow motion

    hi
    after using fcp for a year now, i strangly encountered a problem in a video i need to deliver in 2 days.
    whenever i did a 50% slow motion i get a strange "strobe" effect. when the frame is more or less static then you wont be able to see it but when the camera pans or the object in the frame moves it is very disturbing.
    this is only noticable when viewed on a tv set, not on my display.
    i thought it was in the encoding so i did the whole "export using QT" again, this time making sure its 2 pass VBR 6.8 to 8 mbps. still there.
    i am working on a Pal system without a monitor so i burned the video onto a dvd using dvdsp (as usual) and then played it in a pal dvd player and tv but this strobe thing is still there.
    b.t.w the interlace option on the "export using QT" was set as auto, the same as always.
    i didnt do anything different this time but still i get that problem. what could it be ? all the settings in fcp settings are set to 100% quality and the video is fully rendered.
    i appriciate your comments and help.
    thanx

    hi jim and thanx for the quick reply...
    i used to do my slo-mo in fcp without any problems till today.
    b.t.w - im editing DV PAL.

    any suggestions ?
