Quality Issue when viewing in PrE 11 Editor

Hi. I have looked at other threads but am confused.  I have imported some video clips into the PrE 11 Editor. When I play them through the Editor they are fuzzy/pixellated. When I play them though the Organiser the quality is much better.  What is the reason for this?  Is it something I have done?
The video was taken with a Canon Legria FS22 camera. Image is SD quality not HD.  It was imported as DV PAL 25 frames per second.  Frame size 720x576.   The manual says the camera is using MPEG-2 compression.
The PC has 64bit with 8.00G RAM. Operating system is Windows 7 Professional incl SP1.  Chip is Intel-R i5 -3330  operating at 3GHz.
The videos were imported using get Media with the Videos from FLIP or Camera Option

  • IDcs3 export PDF issues when viewing in Preview

    I appear to be having issues when exporting PDFs from IDcs3. I have drop shadows on text and objects. When i export as a PDF and view it in 'Preview', I get a shadow that extends the area of the object. Drop shadows are not defined, they just have a block blur effect.
    The thing is when I transfer the file over to my MS machine, Acrobat displays the PDF perfectly. Is this a problem with Preview or is it something to do with the export PDF settings.
    Cheers

    Preview is not capable of handling the advance features of exported PDFs.

  • Photo quality worse when viewed on a PC -- why?

    I'm experiencing a strange issue with some photos that I've touched up in iPhoto. When viewing the photos in iPhoto, they look fine. When exported into a different folder and viewed in Preview, they look fine. But later on I tried opening up the same exported files (jpeg's) on a PC, and some of them looked horrible. Some were horrendously noisy. Some had colors that seemed off. Some were far too sharp (I was playing around with the sharpness adjuster in iPhoto).
    Has anyone experienced this issue before, and does anyone know why this happened? I plan on simply going back and toning down some of my edits/adjustments, but I'd like to know if there's an explanation for this.
    One odd thing I noticed just now is that when opening some of these "bad" jpegs in Preview, for a split second, the photos look like they did on my PC. For example, I could see the pixel noise in one of them for a split second... similar to the way iPhoto first displays a blurry enlargement when double clicking on a photo. It almost seems like Preview and iPhoto are self-correcting bad images for display. Thoughts?

    The primary cause of the misalignment is the fact the text is using a "Web Safe" font. A "web safe" font is not a single font. Rather it's a list/stack of fonts for the site visitor's browser to try until it finds one that's available the visitor's computer. That means on one computer the text is in one font (i.e. Arial) and on another computer it's another (i.e. Helvetica) with the subsequent fallout caused by the varying character widths between the two fonts. The best way to reduce this variation between site viewers is to use a Web Font (either an Edge Web Font or a Self-Hosted Web Font).
    The alignment still won't be entirely consistent across browsers (or even versions of browsers), because each browser has it's own text layout engine and the engines do sometime change, but the variation will be radically reduced.

  • Strange quality issues when saving for web and devices.

    Im a UI designer and spend lots of time working with illustrator and photohop. When I design I normally create vector mockps of my work and then export slices using artboards and save for web and devices. Yesterday Illustrator started having problems exporting files. The files look good on my computer, when viewed with pixel preview mode but when i export they look really bad. here is an example:
    This is a screen shot of a part of a mobile app im working on at 100 % and 200 %
    here is the same area when exported using "save for web and devices" at 100% and 200%:
    as you can see there is a dramatic loss in quality. the icons look almost like a low color gif...
    Here is what I have tried already:
    I have tried changing the settings in the exporter. I normally use png 24 but I have tried all the different settings and they all do about the same thing. the only one that seems to look ok are swf and svg.
    I have copied my files over to photoshop and exported from there. that works fine but it is a pain.
    any help would be great.

  • FLV Audio Quality Drops when viewed online

    I have a FLV playing in my SWF and when viewed locally in Flash or just in the Flash player by clicking the file on my desktop the file plays fine with decent quality audio.
    However as soon as I upload the file to my website the audio quality seems to drop.
    The difference is quite noticeable, is there any reason for this?
    Thanks

    Thanks for helping, I really appreciate it.
    No it just lowers in quality.  It plays fine though no stuttering.
    When I play in Flash its fine but when I play over the web in sounds really tinny and poor quality.
    This site is using the same FLV as mine, I know because I've downloaded it from their website and there's sounds fine, this is how mine sounds in Flash. 
    http://sleeptolive.com/
    Now listen to the same FLV on my website. Can you hear the difference?
    http://www.qwerty-design.co.uk/bensons/sleepToLiveIntro.html
    Like I say when I listen to this in Flash in sounds great, really good quality, as soon as I upload its sounds different.
    Thanks

    Ps

  • Portrait photo orientation issue when viewed in slideshow

    I have experienced this problem since first upgrading to 8.0. I have upgraded to 8.02, but this problem persists.
    Most (but not all) of my portrait photos display incorrectly during slideshows (but display correctly otherwise). The pictures are rotated 90 degrees and are squished vertically and stretched horizontally. The result are pictures that fill a portrait oriented "frame" but are sideways, squat and stretched width-wise.
    As near as I can tell, all my photos that I took with my digital cameras (all Canons of various models) have this problem, while only some photos I have received from friends have this issue. Perhaps it is an issue with iPhoto reading Canon's orientation flag? But why is it only a problem in slideshows?
    I'm uncertain if this is relevant, but I've also noticed none of my portrait photos display properly when viewed via Front Row.
    So far the only trouble shooting ideas I've been able to think of are:
    1 - Remake my slideshows from scratch
    2 - Rebuild my photo library.
    Neither of these fixed my problem. Does anyone have a suggestion?

    Try quitting iPhoto and trashing your iPhoto preferences file ("your username" ==> library ==> preferences ==> con.apple.iPhoto.plist) when you launch iPhoto a new default one will be created - reset any user preferences you have changed and repoint iPhoto to the library if you have moved it

  • Quality issue when moving clips from events to project

    When I drags clips or parts of clips from events to my project, the quality drops significantly (blocking).
    Original clip (H264 encoded SD video) is fine, when imported into imovie it is still fine when skimmed/viewed in the event but as soon as draged into the project, the quality is bad (when skimmed/viewed in the project) and blocking occurs, especially in dark parts of the video. Of course this bad quality remains on the exported video :-(((
    Any idea where this might come from and how to overcome it ?
    Thx for your support

    Apologies for bumping this again, but I'm getting the same issue and I'm wondering if it's the original HD files that are incompatible in imovie. It's odd that only a few of us are reporting it.
    I'm capturing HD video in mov format (motion jpeg) from a panasonic FZ5 still camera. The footage has been imported via iphoto. It's 30fps - not the native uk frame rate - but I can't change this on the camara. When I edit in imovie, I get the same massive drop in quality as soon as I move an event to the timeline. Blocking especially on blocks of colour. This happens on playback from the timeline within imovie and on export. I've tried creating a project in both pal format and ntsc in case the frame rate is the issue. No joy. In Final cut the problem seems not to exist, but I'd prefer to manage these very simple home movies in imovie.
    I'm now wondering whether to switch to a different still camera like the newer panasonics or sony hx5 as these capture in avchd (presumably 25/50 fps if sold in uk) and might get over the problem. any thoughts?

  • Quality degredation when viewing Powerpoint documents?

    Hello,
    I'm the IT admin at a medical college. (I run the whole place via my MBP with Fusion and RDC.) The vast majority of the teaching materials are in the form of MS Powerpoint presentations. I keep hearing from our Mac users that when they open the documents with Keynote, the image quality is degraded.
    If this is a known issue, is there a fix other than switching to Powerpoint? Granted, Keynote is much better, and that's not fanboy talk since I can't say the same about Pages or Numbers , but most of the students aren't creating presentations, they are just viewing and adding notes to existing MS documents. Due to the subject matter, image quality is very important.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    -Travis

    Thanks for responding Lori - yeah, for whatever reason the image quality isn't quite as crisp when we use the PDF Printer.  If that's the way the system is designed then I guess we'll have to do it that way and sacrifice some image quality, printing notes is more important, would be nice if we could print speaker notes via PDFMaker though.  

  • Slight Color and Quality Shift when viewing RAW files for first time in Library Module.

    Hello,
    I have been shooting RAW for a while and have notice that after I import the images and then start to view them in the Library Module I will see a slight color and quality shift - almost looks like a white balance shift but not quite.   I was thinking that perhaps there was some automatic preset being applied but I don't have any presets at all.
    I am shooting with a Canon 1DX as well as 7D.  I have not checked to see if I get this situation with the 7D, but I know for sure that I get it with the 1DX.
    Today I was reviewing some images in Bridge and decided to open one of them in Camera RAW.   At that time I discovered that the camera's Image Style Settings were available, Faithful, Standard, Portrait, etc.  I noticed that the images did not have one of the camera styles applied to them but rather the Adobe Standard Style. At that point from within RAW I selected one of the camera's styles and bingo thats the kind of shift I am seeing when I first view an image in LR4 Library.
    So as far as I can tell the RAW images are getting the Adobe Standard style applied in LR.   I have no idea if this is a default behavior of if I have done something to cause it.  I'm also thinking that perhaps LR does not necessarily apply the Camera's Styles automatically even though the particular style has been set in the camera -- perhaps is not imported as part of the metadata during the import and thus defaults to the Adobe Standard.
    I guess what I need to know is a few things and I hope someone can educate this newbie! 
    1. Should I expect LR4 to apply the Style as set from the camera automatically or not at all?
    2. Can I prevent LR from applying the Adobe Standard Style and apply no style?
    3. Can I cause LR to apply the Style as set in the camera for the particular image to be appied automatically upon import?
    Thank you for any guidenace you can offer.  Of course if you need additional information or clarification please let me know.
    Scott

    That sort of describes it and may be exactly what is happening.  I have a shoot tonight and will pay closer attention to the process and behavior when I import.
    It is the full image that I see the shift on though.  Its not that the thumbnail and the full size image look different.  It the full size image looking one way and then shifting in front of my eyes.   
    What is frustrating is that I typically find that the image before the shift is better than what appears after the shift, so I find myself always chasing to get back to where it was and because its gone I'm chasing an invisible ideal, so to speak.   Ahhh...isnt that the life of a photographer though!
    It seems like its the last step in the render process -- if I could just figure out what it is and stop it I could finally figure out if I really care or not.  Its just so quick its tough to tell if indeed the first appearance is better.
    I'll feedback some more information when I get a better handle on this.
    Thanks for the reference.

  • Quality issues when importing still images as frames for animation

    hello,
    i've imported roughly 600 hand-drawn and scanned (600 dpi) images as frames for video. the images themselves are really crisp and perfectly how i want them to appear. i've imported each to play for 2 frames then move to the next. once done, i save this video file as an .avi. i then repeat the process in order to layer the video (using Calculations filter) over and over again, to fill up the screen with overlapped, layered animations. in theory, these layers should all remain crisp, just like the scanned images. i was under the impression that the standard Export... > Movie... .avi file is essentially lossless and is best for editing, however when my process is completed, the final product is muddy, grainy, and pixelated. i'm not sure where i am going wrong, as i've actually done this process before with success.
    is there a way to specific the working file as "high definition" or something similar so that the quality is just as crisp as the scanned images i am using as source
    any help is appreciated - i am completely self taught in video editing and it is really bugging me that the file output is not how i envisioned.
    thanks,
    DB

    I note you specified that the images were 600 dpi.  The dot per inch are an issue only for printing a hardcopy.  For video work, the issue is the pixel dimensions and the pixel aspect ratio. If your image is 600 pixels by 400 pixels with a PAR =1.0. If your sequence is 1440 x 1080 with a pixel ratio ratio of 1.33, then the images must be the same and PrPro must scale up the image.  You can get good images from imported stills in PrPro. I prefer to rescale my images using Photoshop.  I am told that the scaling algorithm in PrPro has been improved.  But regardless, if you are scaling up, you will see degradation becauae Prpro has to interpolate between pixels to fill the video frame.

  • Quality issue when placing web screenshots into InDesign

    Please, please help!
    I am using InDesign CS3. I frequently capture screenshots from web pages to place in an InDesign document as an image.
    Without exception, the resulting image quality is lousy.
    I have tried capturing screenshots with Screenhunter and with SnagIt. I have played around with the various options in each program (file format - jpg, eps, tif, bmp etc etc etc, resolution, etc) including InDesign. I have tried placing the image first in Photoshop and in Fireworks, saving it there and then placing it in InDesign.
    Each time, when I view the image BEFORE placing it into InDesign it looks perfect. Then I either paste or place in the InDesign document and whatever I seem to do, the resulting image looks fuzzy and unclear, both onscreen and when I print (even when I select High Quality display).
    If anyone can help, I can send you a document with screenshots pasted in so you can see the poor quality.
    PS - Placed photographs or other very high resolution images are fine. It's the screenshots I have a problem with.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
    Fiona

    I would expect the same quality from InDesign that you get from Word or another MS app.
    >Web screenshots are good enough quality to place them in any Microsoft Office product, even when enlarged to view with a beamer on a wall, they can still look sharp...
    Sharp is a relative term. :) Suppose you put a high quality photo in the same page as your web capture. Does the web capture still look as good in Office apps? Viewing distance also makes a difference. The farther away the viewer is, the better a low resolution image is going to appear. That's how billboards work.
    You don't say in your original post what you are doing with the ID document.
    By all means, send me a document to spammercatch at comcast dot net. With screen captures it probably doesn't really matter since you are capturing the screen, but in general it is bad practice to paste images rather than placing them -- you paste the low resolution screen preview instead of linking the high resolution image data.

  • Poor quality video when viewing on canvas - screens captured by Camtasia

    I'm creating avi files of Excel screen shots and activities on a PC with Camtasia, moving them to FCP5, and converting them to QuickTime movies. I've tried lots of settings at both ends of the process. The clips look great if played on QT pl;ayer or other players and not bad when played in the FCP viewer. They lose a lot of resolution when I move them to the timeline, render them, and view on the canvas. Any idea what settings I should use to get these clips looking really good? Thanks very much.
    Ernie Horan

    They lose a lot of resolution...
    they have to ...
    iMovie is for video editing, delivery is in NTSC/PAL, so max. supported res is 720x480...
    video means also: iMovie uses internally "dv" as videocodec (as on miniDV tapes...)… what codec is inside the .avi you're producing on your PC? .. as you probably know, avi (in the Apple world: mov) is just a container, some say "wrapper".. can contain many formats&codecs, which look good in playback, but lose quality when processed in iM.. as said: stay with dv...
    if camtasia doesn't support dv, try a less compressing codec (mpeg4?)... try to come close to the video specs as possible...
    last word about quality:
    "video" means also, your Mac can only "emulate" the final pic quality, video has 30fps, is interlaced etc.... playout to tape/create dvd/use iM's live-playout feature to judge delivery quality....

  • Why do Captivate projects have video issues when viewed on an iPad?

    I poste dthis question months ago, and didn't get much in the way of a response, so I am trying again...
    I am publishing projects to be viewed on both PC and iPad (.swf and HTML5).  The PC version works fine on a number of different browsers.
    The iPad version does not play correctly.  I have tried the default Safari browser, as well as Coast, Mercury, and Chrome.
    Slides that are audio over screen captures do not play the audio.
    Slides that are Video play and sound fine.
    Slides that are audio dropped onto the slide play fine.
    My Captivate is version 6.0.1.240.
    My iPad is running iOS 7.1 (11D167)
    Also, when in a project, and I try to "Edit Video Demo", Captivate locks up, and must be closed by the Windows Task Manager.  IS THIS RELATED???
    Any thoughts?
    Thom T.

    I am having the same issue with Captivate 8. I have created a project, imported mp4 movies, save output as HTML.
    All works fine on a desktop or laptop.
    But will not play videos through a browser on an IPAD. I understood that videos and captivate content rendered in HTML5 would play on an IPAD.
    Am I doing something wrong?
    Any help suggestion please?
    Thanks

  • Why is the photo quality poor when view on TV?

    Before I burn a slideshow on a dvd I check to see the quality of my images and they look perfect on my mac however, the quality is greatly reduced when I watch a photo slideshow on a TV. This has occurred for one than 1 tv also (all pretty new).
    Any suggestions as to why this is happening?
    Thanks.
    Dorian

    Are you using high resolution images? If so, try lowering the resolution. Or try an app that specializes in iDvd slideshows.

  • Quality Issues when exporting to itunes

    I'm a new user to garageband and have been learning quite a lot about it and how to work with it.
    My band recorded some songs tonight on garageband. I have a basic mixer hooked into the line in port of my macbook pro. When I tried to export it to itunes, the completed song, the quality from gb3 to itunes was horrible. In gb, it sounded really good, yet when it played back in itunes, it was of quite low quality. I'm curious if there are any preferences or advance options I missed when exporting from GB into itunes.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hey thanks for everyone's help. I played with the input volume, track volume and master track volume and the songs sound fine (well, still a bit overmodulated, but nothing I can do, it was recorded live).
    The songs tend to sound better when I export them from itunes under WAV settings. The sound is tons better.
