ProRes Video in Photoshop - loss of sharpness

Full HD Prores videos are after Photoshop (removing dirt from scanned film) and render back to Full HD Prores less sharp
(best seen at the pointed feathers).
Giving it back as psd or jpeg frames keeps the resolution but changes brightness and gamma.
We also miss Prores HQ.
Who knows help?

Thanks,
image sequences are an option but quite cumbersome because in every case we have to go back to video for broadcast.
The main problem seems to be the AME in Photoshop. Take uncompressed video or image sequences and render it to ProRes or other codecs
you get in Photoshop allways the same loss in resolution. If you take Final Cut for that job you have no loss in quality. We wonder if all Adobe Programs using Media Encoder have this problem.

How do I capture good stills from video on Photoshop Elements 8?

I'm using Photoshop Elements 8. When I try to capture still photos from video clips, the results are not very satisfactory. Usually the stills are very unclear, not sharp like I want them to be. I have to make many attempts to capture a still before I can get one that's halfway clear.   Does it have to be this way?   What can I do to get consistently clear stills from video? Thank you!

Fair enough, Barbara. Thanks!

Frame from Video is more or less a legacy feature in PSE 8. It was meant to capture a frame or two from a short homemade video at a low resolution. It doesn't do HD video at all, and isn't meant for a clip that's more than a minute or so in length. It's been dropped from the latest version because nobody has those kinds of movies anymore.
So the bottom line is you're better off doing this with some other program than with PSE.

Loss of sharpness upon image rotation: Aperture vs. other software

I have carefully studied the resulting loss of sharpness upon rotation/straightening of images. This topic does not apply to 90/180 degree rotations.
When any image is rotated (be it JPEG or uncompressed), there will be a slight loss of quality (seen as a loss of sharpness) due to interpolation. The method of interpolation applied will affect the degree of quality degradation.
Simply put, professional applications such as Adobe Photoshop and even Adobe Lightroom use superior interpolation methods when performing rotations (and who knows, perhaps for other transformations/scalings also?!). Apple Aperture, on the other hand, uses an interpolation method that renders a loss of image sharpness on par with inferior consumer-level software such as Google Picasa or iView Media Pro. Yes, folks, here's a clear reason to select Adobe Lightroom over Apple Aperture.
Please take a close look at the comparison yourself:
http://web.mac.com/rishisanyal/iWeb/Homepage/Sharpness.jpg
Make sure you are viewing the image I have posted at 100%, not scaled, in order to clearly see the inferior quality of images rotated with Aperture & Picasa.
Apple needs to address this problem by implementing a better interpolation algorithm with its straighten tool. It is sad that we are using and paying for a 'Professional' application that yields results on par with FREE software such as Google Picasa.
As much as I like Aperture for its other features/integration into Mac OS X, I am switching to Lightroom as of now. Straightening/rotating images is an absolute must, used by every photographer on a daily basis. The loss of image quality, therefore, is unacceptable.
Please post to this thread if you have experienced the same problem or are simply concerned over this. The more people that show concern, hopefully, the more likely Apple is willing to do something about this ASAP.

Surely any rotation (apart from the 90/180/270 ones) is by-definition a smoothing operation ? You have to take the values from adjacent pixels and combine them based on the rotation, then average (or use a point-spread function) them to rescale the values back into range.
Looks to me as though the Adobe products are just applying a sharpen operation immediately after the rotation, whereas Aperture isn't. Or Aperture could be using a simple average of the values, where Adobe is doing a gaussian summation-of-components or something similar.
My guess would be that they "do a quick sharpen", otherwise it would take longer to do the rotate. The only way you'll ever know is if the developers tell you though...

How can I remove something from a video in photoshop? Or any other Adobe CC program?

Hi guys,
I don't suppose anyone knows how to remove things via content aware from a video in photoshop? I'm doing a documentary and I need to edit out sign posts from hampton court to make it look more rustic and realistic but they are in hundreds of frames and I can't get them exact so it looks like the walls are moving?! Does anyone know what I could do?
Thanks xx

It would be easier to do in after effects, where you can track an object and have the mask follow it.

Skew, Warp, Resize and Nest a video in Photoshop???

I would like to know how to skew, warp and resize a video inside of photoshop cs4. I would also like to know how to nest multiple video files into one file.
I am new to Photoshop, I am looking for some tutorials but unable to find any.
Thanks

Marian, thanks for the advice.
Thou I understand your point, very well about screwdriver vs hammer, that was not my question in my post. I asked a straight forward question about how to Skew, Warp, Resize and Nest a video in Photoshop. Not which is the best software to use for this task.
If you know the answer, share the knowledge, is this not what this forum is for or am I in the wrong place??? Before suggesting which tool is best for me to use, try understanding what I want to build first. This makes all the difference.
As I have already proven to myself I don’t need a new tool to accomplish the task I had at hand. If I took your advice, I and my company would have wasted money on a software that we did not need in the first place.
Understand your client needs first before giving advice. Sometimes a hammer is all it takes, if you use right.
I don’t need to study more on video production, this is not my job. All I wanted to know was how to edit a video in Photoshop.
I hope we are not off on the wrong foot because I feel I could learn a lot from you but you need to take the time to understand the question before shooting from the hip with an answer.

Denoising video in photoshop CS5

i need to remove noise from some footage i shot on very high iso. ( Canon 7D - 2000 iso ). instead of purchasing yet another plug-in for Finalcut Pro i thought i might be able to do the de-noising in Photoshop CS5 using my old tried and trusted NoiseNinja. Is this possible ? Couldn't find any info about it in the 2783 pages of user manual.
Following is my workware :
MacPro Quad - 8GigRAM - ATi 4870 - 4 TB Internal Raid set - short ProRes 422 clips - Photoshop Extended CS5

if it's PS extended you can indeed..
convert for smart filters and choose a noisy frame, set up noiseninja, and hit ok..
now you can export your footage and you'll find it clean..
if it's a long clip you can go out for the weekend, though..

Importing Video in Photoshop?

Hey guys,
I was having trouble importing a video into Photoshop. Can someone point me in the right direction please?

You're not telling us anything, not even the version of Photoshop you are using and the operating system, so nobody will be able to help. We need much more info which in addition to the version of PS wil lat least require some details about the video like its format and source. And of course since video editing in PS is dependent on hardware acceleration to work properly, hardware specs are relevant as well...

Dynamic Link Media Server Error On Video Export Photoshop CC 2014

Dynamic Link Media Server Error On Video Export Photoshop CC 2014

Hi,
Are you still having problems with CS6 Video Export?
What Export settings are you using? (A screencapture might be the fastest way to answer that.)
Does it work if you use the default settings?
If you have time to experiment, I have some suggestions:
Would you please try/verify the following:
1. Be sure virus/security/parental control software hasn't trapped parts of Photoshop, Bridge, Premiere, Lightroom, or any Adobe app using DynamicLinkMediaServer. (Make sure the Adobe apps are added as exceptions if needed.)
2. Ensure you have the latest version of QuickTime
3. Close all Adobe applications - wait more than 30 seconds, then launch Photoshop and try to open and export the file.
- If unsuccessful, view Task Manager/Processes to verify necessary processes started up when importing video (dynamiclinkmanager.exe, dynamiclinkmediaserver.exe and Adobe QT32 Server.exe)
- If unsuccessful, please capture the full error message text.
4. Close all Adobe apps, wait 30 seconds - launch Bridge and try to open/export the file.
Thanks,
Meredith

No Audio with Video in Photoshop Elements

Some videos such as MVI do have the audio when I add the video to Photoshop Elements slideshow project. There is no audio on 99.9% of the videos (AVCHD Videos .MTS files) obtained from my JVC camcorder and added to the same Photoshop Elements slideshow project. Why one video had sound after being added to Photoshop Elements, I do not know. However, when I open these same videos from my Windows explorer, they play with sound just fine.
OS: Windows 7
Dell laptop purchased June 2010
Internet Explorer 64-bit
Photoshop Elements 8.0.0.0
OS Version 6.0
Built-In Memory 3.7GB
Free Memory 2GB

There is limited support for video in PSE. The PSE/PRE combo gives the best input/output options including export to h.264, mobile devices, mp4 and burning DVD’s.

Green flickering frames in my videos in Photoshop CC, anyone else have this problem?

I am working on editing a video in Photoshop CC using the motion layout and I and every so often I get a green frame. I am doing everything the same as always has anyone else had this problem?

any phone can bend. the people who have the most issues with that are the ones that wear skinny jeans. your pants are applying presure at the top and bottom of the phone and your thigh is putting pressure in the middle. so you are effectivly putting your iphone into a bending press.

Editing video in Photoshop problems

I have a piece that the client is prepared to ditch because the talent wasn't looking to good in the lighting available. I had the crazy idea to edit the video frame by frame in photoshop cs5 Extended. I finished one of the videos, and photoshop crashed on export, but when I go back to open the psd file I get an error that it can't be opened by my version of Photoshop. This has happened three times now. Anyone run into this issue? I will also post at Adobe's site but thought I'd check in here too.
Garrett

Found the answer eventually on the Adobe forums. Updating Photoshop did the trick. Now to decipher all the settings since my 600mb .mov file turned into an 8gb file on render.

Can I add a watermark to a video with photoshop CS3 Extended

Can I add a watermark to a video with photoshop CS3 extended or Web Premium 3, and if I can how do I do it?

Import the video as a new video layer (Layer --> Video --> New layer from file), add your watermark as another layer, then export the whole shebang using File --> Export --> Render Video. Be aware though, that there are severe limitations in what formats Photoshop accepts, exports and how they are compressed, so you may wish to check out After Effects or other tools...

Trying to edit video but Photoshop cs6 wont open the files.

Trying to edit video but Photoshop cs6 wont open the VOB files. I tried to change the extension to AVI and then drag it in. It works but it's distorted. All the heads in the photo are narrow and tall. Can anyone help me figure this thing out? I'm sooo frustrated! Thanks

I assume these came from a DVD? Was this DVD an encrypted holywood DVD or a home video that you got of something like sky diving? You'll probably need photoshop extended to switch pixel aspect ratios. Or convert them into a format that photoshop understands with a 1.0 pixel aspect ratio. Do you have access to adobe media encoder?

Editing video in Photoshop - apply to all frame

I'm editing some HD video in Photoshop. I have a filter (Gaussian blur in an area selection) that I want to apply to all frames of the video.
I can do it by selecting each layer at a time (it works, but painfully slow) but how do I apply the same filter to all layers at once?
Also, sometimes I am working on a layer and by selecting it or turning view on or off (or something) all of a sudden, all of the animation is the same frame. I don't know what happens, but I have to start over.
Last question: what is "Propgate first frame?"
Thanks

You may find more productivity by applying this blur in your video editor.
