Quality of movie when "shared"

I'm a little concerned about the quality of my movie once it's been compressed for the Web or Web streaming: I have several still clips, plus title frames in my project. The still and particularly the type in the titles wind up very fuzzy and difficult to read when viewed in Quicktime. (Not to mention all the memory the titles eat up.) Any suggestions on how to keep the type nice and sharp, the way I see it on other movies posted to, e.g., You Tube? Thanks. (P.S. I also tried making title cards in Photoshop and importing them as photos, but that didn't help much.)

Text and titles are blurry in Quicktime

  • Movie Cover-Art Does Not Match Movie When Sharing On iPad?

    The movies that are on my iTunes display properly.  The movie cover-art matches the actual movie.
    I turned on sharing in iTunes and when I select Video > Sharing on the iPad The Cover-Arts do not match
    the actual movie it represents?
    Seems to look right on my AppleTV and on my iPhone but not the iPad.  I also noticed that when I select the
    the sharing icon on the iPad it loads it way faster than before.  I am thinking that it's loading it from bad cache.
    Is there a way to have it actually reload the data or clear its cache?
    What I have tried;
    I have re-booted the iPad and that did not work.
    I have also turned sharing off and on on iTunes and that did not work

  • Low quality QT movie when compressing for web

    I am exporting HDV footage from FCP and trying to compress it for the web. However, have not found settings that give me similar quality to what you see on say the Apple Trailers. Any suggested settings to give a high quality compression?
    Mark

    Apple trailers are usually done by experts using H.264.It's not complicated but getting excellent compression is a dark art. You make uncomfortable tradeoffs by sacrificing one element, such as frame rate, for image size. This often requires carefully planning the trailer's content to take full advantage of the codec's abilities.
    Start by investigating the codec in the manuals for FCP and searching Apple's site for more info on H.264. The results can be unexpectedly stunning. But you also must consider your audience's online accessibility to the clip. It can be very large.

  • Bad Quality When Sharing with iWEB

    Sorry if this is posted somewhere on here. I could not find it.
    I am having a problem with real choppy video when sharing with iWEB. My videos when viewed on my website are very blurry to the point that you can not see faces. Any help would be most welcome.

    I am importing from miniDV. I believe it is HD, not sure if that matters or not. I recorded a clip off of the cam into iMovie. I added a soundtrack and a few sound effects. I saved my project and then shared it with iWEB. It is now on my website but just real blurry and the sound effect don't hit at the right times. It is perfect when view in iMovie (great picture quality). I also shared the same movie with iTunes and noticed, while better then iWeb, it is still not as good as when viewing in iMovie. Thanks for any help

  • Quality reduction when sharing with iDVD

    Hi Everyone
    I'm new to iMovie 11.  This week I made my first short movie with a 720HD camera and I'm very pleased with the quality.  When I watch it on my iMac it's great and when I share it with iTunes and watch it on my home TV, using AppleTV, the picture is great as well.  However, when I share it using iDVD there is a fall off in video quality (with blocky text in title sequences) as I play the disc back through my DVD player and TV.  I've tried playing the disc back through a friend's DVD player and TV, but things are no better.
    Is this normal when sharing through iDVD or is there a setting I've overlooked?

    Hi
    As You see there are much to this - at least three levels as I get it
    1. DVD-standard 480i
    2. How it moves from iMovie to iDVD - Share to Media Browser and as Large
    3. Choise of video editor as
    iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - are not tools of choise as they discard every second line resulting in 240i quality
    I use
    • iMovie up to HD6 or
    • FinalCut any version
    as they deliver 480i not losing anything.
    Use High quality DVD - I use Verbatim DVD-R
    Burn at slower speed - I use x4 - to get less burn errors
    makes the DVD even better (plays on more Players)

  • How can I improve quality of image when burning a movie to a DVD

    How can I improve quality of image when burning a movie to a DVD?

    What resolution are you using?  If the DVD is to be playable on an ordinary DVD player, only ordinary TV resolution is supported.  You need Blue ray for HD.

  • Error -50 when sharing a project

    I get this error message when sharing my iMovie project:
    Unable to prepare project for publishing. The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occured (-50)
    I've tried saving to a different location on my HD, I've tried reducing the res (I tried the three highest res as this is for a tv monitor) of the exported movie, I've repaired permissions.  I exported this projecet perfectly the first time I made it - I need to change one thing in it and now get this!

    Hi
    Error -50 paramErr  Error in user parameter list
    Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
    UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
    What this means in Your situation is above me.
    • free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
    Video codec
    • streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
    Pictures
    • in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
    Audio
    • from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
    The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
    Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
    • Library - at root level
    • Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
    from Luke Burns
    I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
    I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

    You need more free space on your hard drive.
    jonorparkerjon
    After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
    Where do Your material come from
    • Camera
    • External hard disk
    • USB-memory
    And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

  • Why won't FCP X burn the menu background image when sharing directly to DVD?

    At one point recently I was able to drop in a jpg file so that FCP X would display this image in the menu background when a disc is burned directly out of FCP X when sharing directly to DVD. It worked at first, and then I decided I needed a higher quality image, but this one won't burn. My DVD now just has a black menu background. I can't figure out why this is happening. Please help! I'm using a late 2008 MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz 15" with OS 10.8.4. FCP X is up to date as well. My harddrive is fairly full in case that might cause some errors. Are there any specs on what type and size an image FCP wants for this function? Thanks for any help!
    Gregg

    Thank you, reducing the image size worked! I had used a low res file before, and with success decided to increase the resolution/size, and then it didn't work. the image did appear in small preview in the export panel, but wouldn't burn when all was said and done. the dimensions you gave worked fine. unfortunately, it makes the image a little bit fuzzy, but i dont think i can do anything about this. at least it burned it in there. thanks!

  • Why is the quality of movies and pictures exported to the external hard drive lowered?

    Why is the quality of movies and pictures exported to the external hard drive lowered?

    Are you speaking of manually moving these files, or using an application to export?
    When you use the the term "export", it usually entails an application performing some kind of file conversion, rather than a simple transfer. It is during conversion to another file format that information may be lost through lossy compression, or by settings of the export.
    Anytime you convert a file to another format, there will usually be some loss or degradation. Tghis can't be helped, as one format may not support every information characteristic the original one did.

  • IDVD error message when sharing from imovie

    1. When "sharing" from imovie to idvd, error message appears reading: "unable to publish project due to error-41."
    2. Successfully "shared" once, with the first clip upside down.
    Thank you for your insights.

    Hi
    Most probably it's the Start-Up/Boot/Mac OS hard disk that has less than 5Gb free space.
    To let iDVD run OK - This Start-up hard disk should have 25Gb or more due to that
    Your Mac is running a sort of UNIX (Mac OS) and this makes Mac OS and iDVD to use
    lot's of temp files - AND they can not be addressed to any other hard disk at all.
    More RAM - will not help
    External/Second hard disk will if You first formatte it as Mac OS Extended and
    move material over to this (or use it as Start-up hard disk)
    External Start-up hard disk must be FireWire - NO USB2 will do this.
    Must be Mac OS Extended formatted
    Western Digital - My Book Serie - Can't do this.
    My Lacie - works gladly as secondary start-up hard disk.

  • Movies iMovie Sharing iTunes surely duplicating iTunes on HDD?

    I'm trying to free up space on my internal drive. In an ideal world I'd keep the really important stuff on the internal drive (as its faster and I regularly back up the internal drive).
    I've successfully managed to relocate my iTunes music folder to an external drive, but in the process learnt a few things I'm now confused about.
    When I 'share' an iMovie project to iTunes, it appears in my iTunes music folder. However, it also appears in Movies>>iMovie Sharing>>iTunes. Surely this is duplicating files on my internal drive? I have several long HD home movies and so my drive is filling up quickly.
    Q. Do I need to keep both versions of the files?
    Q. Is there a way to move this iMovie Sharing file to an external drive while keeping the events and projects on my internal drive without upsetting iMovie?
    Many thanks for any tips,
    Dan.

    I'm still struggling with this, so any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • IMovie project stuttering when shared to iDVD

    I have a 38 minute iMovie 09 video that I exported to iDVD. It stutters about a minute in to the movie. I have done the following:
    1. exported a shorter version (1:48) into iDVD. The same thing happened.
    2. exported this shorter version into quick time. Worked just fine. Don't know how to make a DVD that I can watch on a player from this though.
    3. tried to export this shorter version to youtube. It said that "youtube reported an error"
    3. backed up my Macbook and used migration assistant to put all of my data on my husband's iMac. I ended up with clips missing or replaced by others when shared to iDVD.
    I tried to get it in a format that I could show all of you but because it was multiple files, I couldn't use dropio or dropbox.
    Any suggestions? I know the movie is large, but the shortened movie displayed the same behavior.
    Thanks

    Bump.
