Poor resolution after importing to iMovie 10

I've just upgraded to iMovie 10 and Mavericks from 9 and my old clips are now displaying with what appears to be a poor resolution. When I watch them in 9 they look much richer.....thoughts?

i am having the same issue. tried "adjust colors" in the video FX and the preview looked great, but application of the effect left the clip unchanged.
did you get any help from another source (since this seems to be without responses)?

Very Poor Quality after Importing from Time Machine

I lost iMovies for some reason when I upgraded to Maverick. I imported my iMovie events from Time Machine into iMovie 10 but the quality is now horrible. Anyone know how to correct this? DO I have to import a differnet way?
Gratefully yours, Daniel

I'm not quite clear exactly how you imported - if your events were from iMovie 9 the correct procdure would be first to recover your iMovie Events and iMovie Projects folder from Time Machine.
You would then check that they open OK in iMovie 9 (which you should still have available in your Applications folder).
When this OK you can close iMovie 9, open iMovie 10 and update your media into iMovie 10.
See help at: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov902ad0c31
If you have already done this, have you allowed time for iMovie 10 to re-render your clips in the background? (can take a long time). The quality immediately after importing may well be poor at first.

Poor Quality After Importing Video

Has anyone noticed that the quality is poor after importing a DV file to iMovie? If so, is there any way to fix this or avoid the problem altogether

I think it may depend on the video camera. Some video cameras have this happen when used with iMovie. When I import video from my JVC Everio directly into iMovie '11, the video comes in very out of focus. I have to use the steps outlined on this page to get the video into iMovie '11 properly.

Audio tracks are lost after importing from iMovie...

After importing my movie from iMovie I lost my audio tracks. What is the problem ?

Hello kropacd (and Karsten;)):
I realize at this late time that this will be a pain..but you might want to try to extract your audio prior to exporting (sharing) to iDVD to se if that helps...
The only other thing I can imagine is that you used 12-bit audio in your video instead of 16-bit? It really needs to be 16-bit-check the setting on your camera.

External pictures only on low resolution after import from iPhoto to Photos

Moved to the new Photos app. All pictures that were in my iPhoto library file are OK but the pictures that were stored outside the library folder are visible only on very very poor resolution (looks like only the thumbnail was imported and shown on full size, very pixelated). This is quite disappointing. Tried the File->Consolidate menu option to copy the picture to the library but that didn't help either.
When I import them again they come back in high resolution, but I got them all nicely grouped into Events in iPhoto and don't want to loose that.

Delete the migrated version, repair the Library with iPhoto and try again.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Why are my legira hfm36 files so much bigger after import to iMovie?

Hello
When i import files from my camcord legira hfm36 the files become much lagrer after import... :-/
What is wrong, i use 32gb sdhc card in cam and When i import it All it Will take 270 gb space??? Why...
Palle

AVCHD which is likely the format you are shooting in create a .mts or .m2ts file that is highly, highly compressed as it is saved onto the camera. When it is decompressed and imported into iMovie it can expand up to between 40+ and at a max 75 Gbytes for each hour of video shot. So there's no free lunch when you shoot High Definition video on the typical AVCHD video cam, the space available you have to expand those video clips is going to evaporate very quickly. So consider purchasing an external USB hard drive as quickly as possible.

Distorted video after importing to iMovie 09

Please HELP!
After converting a video into .mp4 format (that i can edit it in iMovie 09) and importing it to iMovie 09 I get completely distorted video; the picture is squeezed & the sound is not synchronized.
Before i made a lot of similar videos & everything was ok.
When I try to use precision editor, it doesn't help that much, i still see bad syncr. of sound and bad picture.
Please help me, cause the video is great & i need to edit it.
Am i using the wrong importing or converting format?
If so, which do you recommend instead?
The one I always use is: APPLE TV MPEG-4 720x432 (*.mp4)
These are the properties of the converted video:
Video ID: 0x2
Format: xvid
Resolution: 720x432
Frame rate: 30.00 fps
Bit Rate: 1501 kbps
Total length: 00:25:15
Audio ID: 0x1
Format: AAC
Sample rate: 48000 Hz
Channels: 2
Bit rate: 127 kbps
Is there perhaps just a simple trick that I can use so that it automatically fixes this problem?
Any answer is welcome!!!
Please be fast with the answer!!!
Thank You
p.s. you can answer to my email as well: [email protected]
Kisses to all

Poor resolution RAW import

When importing a RAW fil to LR the quality become very poor, without Im doing anything. I do not have the same problem when importing a JPEG in LR or a RAW file in Elements for example. Is there any setting that should be changed?
The problem is very visable on saturated colors, it becomes like fields, difficult to explain, but kind of similar to a poor TV screed resolution. (It is not my computerscreen as I have tried several other screens, and the problem remains.)
Thankful for help!

I added a JPEG photo also.
First picture is the RAW photo imported in LR, second one a JPEG imported. I have done nothing to non of them...

After I imported the file to imovie 09 the picture is more and more delayed.
Why an how to fix?

I have that camera and I can't get it to work with iMovie '08 or iMovie '09. I'm seeing an empty event just like you.
How did you get it to work with iMovie '08?

Can I trash a file from the hard drive after importing into iMovie HD 6?

I created some DV video files using MPEG Streamclip. I imported them into iMovie HD 6. Can I now put those DV files in the trash and empty the trash, to free up disk space, and still be able to do whatever I want with them in iMovie HD 6?

Yes, if you don't have another drive to store them on.

Poor Video after importing from Camcorder

I am inputing from a Canon Elura 100 which uses MiniDV. Used many times with PC with excellent quality. When I input to IMovie the picture appears very sharp as it is downloading. It appears to have loaded a high resolution since 20 minutes occupies about 6GB of storage. However, all of the clips, any movies I render all are very fuzzy. When I got to Share and Media Browser it only lets me render in Mobile. I tried exporting at high definition with no better results. Using my PC on this material, the DVDs are of high quality. What is wrong?

Try sending it to iDVD and burning it before you judge. First, your display is a progressive device, and may not display interlaced video properly even though it will look fine on a TV. Second, iMovie adjusts playback quality so that it doesn't drop frames. The quality of your actual video is unchanged.

Color dull after importing to iMovie & then iDVD

i am doing a DVD project with my own sony DV camera but also the majority with a friends professional DV cam which features much biger lens, audio in, a good stereo mic on top of camera etc. when i played back the clips from the camera thru TV they looked great but when i imported them via DV/firewire lead in iMOVIE the color is dull & lifeless. is there a way round this. i wondered if it was because i used DV out rather than AV out to import to my mac.
can you help
thanks

Poor resolution on imported photos

When I import a jpg photo into FC express 3.0 it looks great in the viewer - but when I put it into the timeline and look at it in the the canvas it has lost a lot of resolution - subsequent rendering may even make the resolution worse.

When you put it into the timeline you're converting it to an interlaced format designed for encoding live action into video for television display. Are you looking at the rendered output on a video monitor? The image may not be suitable for use in a video format.

Poor resolution on imported .png graphics

Hello fellow Pages users:
I am importing .png graphics made in an opensource drawing program. The original graphics are .svgs and then they are converted to .png graphics. When I look at the graphics in Preview they look fine, but when I drag them into Pages they become 'fuzzy' looking.
Does anyone have any idea why this is hapenning or what I can do about it.
Any help will be VERY much appreciated!!

SVGs are vector graphics. They are rasterized when you save as PNG. Try converting to PDF instead of PNG.
