R6970 Lightning Crossfire looks great on DVI but it's whacked on HDMI...

I have an Asus Maximus Exteme IV MB with 2 6970's in Crossfire. I have two monitors. One is an older SyncMaster 910MP with a standard VGA input and a newer SymcMaster P2770HD. I have an HDMI going from card 1 to the P2770HD and a DVI cable with a VGA adapter going to the other.
The problem is that my picture on the older monitor is fantastic but the picture on the newer monitor is fuzzy and sort of looks over saturated by color. Text is not clear. Comparing the same video on each monitor shows blotching and uneven color tones while the older monitor is perfect.
The older monitor is at 1280 x 1024 32 bit 60Hz
The new monitor is on (under the HDTV settings) 1080p
There are "basic" settings for the new monitor, but the highest it goes is 1680 x 1050. The new monitor was running at 1980 x 1080 on my last system which featured a 5770 and ran off the DVI port and it too looked great.
Am I missing a setting for my monitor to run at 1980 x 1080? How do I add it in? Why isn't the "HDTV" 1080p looking great coming out of the 6970 Lightning?
EDIT: I tried to use both DVI ports (on the same card) and only the primary monitor is recognized. What are the limitaions are requisites for connecting monitors to CrossFired cards?

I found a fix and it's the weirdest fix becasue I was just fiddling with my monitor and going into every single sub-menu and changing settings to see what effect they may have on my monitor.
On my Samsung HD monitor, I go into the "Source List" menu and I choose "Edit"
The naming convention on that menu is :
PC : ----
DVI : ----
AV : ----
Component : ----
HDMI : ----
These coincide with all the different inputs available on the Samsung P2770HD.
I went to the HDMI : ---- selection and I was given a whole array of other choices; Camcorder,TV, IPTV, HD DVD, Blu-Ray, DVI, DVI PC, PC and a few others.
I changed it to PC and Viola! Perfect picture!
Now, my input reads "HDMI PC"; where as before it read only "HDMI" with no dashes. You only see the dashes if you go into the "Edit" menu for the Source list.
Thanks for the very funky menu Samsung! Not to mention the manual for the monitor that says nothing about this!
I think what this does is tells the monitor to expect the standard RGB (0-255) colors from the PC.
Anyways, this worked for me. I hope this may be of some use to another person in the near future.

My Imovie looks great on mac but it is discolored and grainy after I export to dvd.

My Imovie looks great on mac but it is discolored and grainy after I export to dvd. I need help, it looks awful when projected even playing from my mac.

It's my understanding based on what another long time contributor stated that Share to iDVD converts direct to a MPEG-2 format and drops it directly into the iDVD Project for you. Share to Media Browser saves it to .MP4 (actually .m4v which is what apple uses for iTunes video,etc) then that gets converted by iDVD into MPEG-2. So something about the export direct to MPEG-2 when you choose Share to iDVD is introducing the problem. That's why Share to Media Browser seems to get around that limitation, it uses a different encoding path altogether.

Avery project looks great on preview but PDF is skewed

I have tried browsers IE and Chrome and been on tech support with Avery for an hour and even uninstalled adobe.
the project looks great on preview but then when the PDF opens to print the spacing is messed up

How are you creating the pdf? If you are not using Acrobat or the CreatePDF service we can be of little help. If you use Acrobat, please post in that forum. If you use the CreatePDF service, please post there. If you are using an Avery Service, then you need to work it out with them.

My HTML snippet widget on iWeb looks great on iWeb, but when I publish the page the HTML snippet doesn't appear on the webpage. Why?

I pasted in some HTML code generated by Google Forms into the iWeb HTML snippet widget. It looked great on my iWeb viewer, but when I published it to my website, the HTML snippet google form did not appear on my webpage. Does anyone know how to fix this?

What is the code?

FCP to Quicktime - looks great in QT but has drag on a TV

OK, have FCP 6 and everything going great. I had some files that were in AVI. I converted them using MPEG Streamclip to .mov format...so I thought. The first few did convert but then I wasn't watching and Streamclip set back to default and I accidentally converted some to "Apple JPEG A". I found this out later when I put it to DVD and there was drag (football highlight video) behind all the players running. Looked great on FCP and in Quicktime. BUT, when I dump to DVD and play on my TV the drag is there. The obvious solution is to take the AVI's that I messed up on and re convert them to mov. However, I broke the cardinal rule and dumped them. All clips look great, except the ones that went to JPEG A. I tried to reconvert them to mov but no effect. Any ideas....PLEASE? Why does it look good in QT but not on a TV?
Bryan

Does the outputted QT file have it's High Quality bit set?
if not:
Open it in QT player
command+j for the Movie Properties
select the video track and then click on the Visual Settings button
click High Quality button and save.

R6970 Lightning crossfire question

So i have been having crazy artifacting issues with 2 R6970 Lightnings in crossfire, but the thing is it only lasted for 20 sec upon launching a game (and by that i mean getting pass the main menu where 3d rendering was being done) after those 20 sec and would not experience artifacting until next start up. I bought a new motherboard, new power supply, i even ran a new line to my room cuz i thot it was electricity. I tried each card individually and no artifacting would occur. And then on steam forums someone mentioned if i had my cards overclocked. I then remembered (o yea duh they are factory oc'ed) I then turned down the clock speeds on both from AMD CCC to 880Mhz GPU (to AMD specs), the RAM stayed the same at 1375Mhz, and to my amazement no more artifacts. So my question is: can you have two cards in crossfire if each is Overclocked, or do they have to be at stock settings to work?

Yes its fine, they will runs at slowest card speed

Text looks great in AE but terrible in Premiere Pro.

I am creating titles in After Effects for a video production in Premiere Pro, the titles look lovely and crisp in After Effects but when I import them to Premiere Pro they look terrible and blurry. How can I get them to look as sharp as they did in After Effects?

Hi, I'm using Premiere Pro CC and AE CC and am using the Dynamic Link to import the AE files into Premiere.
The PP sequence is 2 hours long and was shot at 720, it is still in the editing stage so have not rendered the full thing yet. I did try to render out a small section to see if the text got sharper but it didn't, and to be very honest I'm not sure what the best render settings are so have been using the H.264 YouTube 720 preset.....perhaps that is not the best but I am new to this and am learning as I go.
I have tried making the AE file much bigger and then resizing in PP to see if that helped, but that didn't work either.
My apologies for not giving the required info at the outset.

Scrolling credits - look great on iMovie, but can't see in iDVD

I made an iMovie for a group I traveled with this summer, and everything is working great except for the rolling credits I created at the end. Instead of the black background with white credits, all I see is white. I can't see other posts with this same problem. Any suggestions?

I know it's more than a year later since this question was posted, but I don't see the answer to resolve the issue. Is there an answer? I've done what you posted here and nothing happened. I'm using iMovie 9.0.9.
I used iMovie 9.0.9 to make this and open in iMovie 9.0.9.
I've also tried to open the file in quicktime and other applications to no avail.
I finished the project and went to file/finalize project. It took about 30 minutes to render the file. Now the file ends in rcproject.
Please help.

Imovie looks great on computer but

When burned to a dvd, there are momentary blips/shivers in some of the images. Any idea how to correct this, or what has caused it?
Thanks,
Chickie

Hmmm - I'd try stepping backwards through the video creation process to see where the blips are being introduced (assuming the video noise wasn't there in the original recording).
1) Try the DVD in another player (is it always the same image that blips?).
2) Within iDVD,use Preview to look for blips.
3) Use Finder to open the iMovie "package" and find the Quicktime version of your movie to check it for blips (right click/Show Package Contents/Shared Movies/iDVD).
4) Use the Full Screen mode in iMovie's preview mode to check for blips there.

What am I doing wrong here? Vids look correct in FCP but not in Quicktime..

Hi,
I have a few quicktime movies that I made a long time ago. I have dragged them to my hard drive and they look great and play exactly how I edited them in Final Cut Pro. However, when I open them in Quicktime or try to play them into any other format (Flash) they appear wider.
Now I am confused as it appears every movie I have ever saved seems to be distorted when I play it in Quicktime.
Are there some settings within FCP or Quicktime that I am not aware of?
Are both programs accurately playing what is recorded?

I am having this exact same issue. My sequence is 352x288 the video looks great in FCP but every time I Export this sequence straight out through QuickTime (not QT Conversion or Compressor) self-contained and using the current settings it plays back in QuickTime as 720x480 (640x480) millions in DV format. I even tried to force the export to a customized setting with the 352x288 frame size and it still plays back at 720x480 making the video look fuzzy and stretched. We've already spent a few hours testing other options with no success.
Oh and what's odd is if I open the same exported file in FCP's Viewer the size is correct and when I view the exported file's info (Apple+I) it says Dimensions: 352x288. Codec is DV/DVCPRO - NTSC. One thing I just thought of while typing this is would changing the codec make a difference since the original footage is 720p from an HVX200 camera? If I should change it what should I change it too?
The viewers will be watching this in QT Player. I'm using FCP7 and QT7 also tested with QTX with the same results.
Any idea is better than none, thanks!

Help with exporting. Video looks horrible after export, but great when in premiere pro

Hey guys, looking for some advice on exporting.
When I finish a video, the color and everything looks great while in premiere pro, but after exporting it, the color ends up looking dull and the whole video looks blurry. I'm filming with a canon vixia hf200 at 60i. It imports as a AVCHD file, I deinterlace it, and then export at the Vimeo HD settings. What can be causing the video to look horrible after exporting? What settings should I be exporting under? Any help would be appreciated!

It looks like you're coming up against some of the colorspace handling issues that the Premiere pipeline has.
Since your source is 60i AVCHD it's HD and thus rec709 colorspace. If it gets encoded with the standard rec601 colorspace (SD sizes are this) then all the colors get crushed. Look for a "709" and "601" radio button in your export settings. If it's not there you're out of luck.
The "blurry" is probably a poor quality de-interlacer. If Vimeo permits interlaced vs progressive do that instead. it's always cleaner to stay in the same video format all the way through.
TECHNICAL ASIDE:
rec709 is a triangle of possible colors that can be expressed by mixing of ratios of 3 emitters (the R G B corners of the triangle). (they are the RGB phosphors of a CRT and now LCD pixel elements)
rec709 is a bigger triangle than rec601 so it's capable of more colors. but if you accidently map that triangle's corners to the coordinates of rec601 it gets crushed.
In photography the "sRGB" uses the rec709 triangle. A bigger triangle that that is "Adobe RGB". So if you work in Adobe RGB and export to sRGB without conversion the colors get crushed because sRGB in inside the triangle of "Adobe RGB".

What are the best instagram video settings using Compressor 4? The outputs I have created look clean HD in camera roll. When I view video in instagram preview it looks great, but then when i post it the quality gets blurry. Any advice?

I have read that you should resize the frame to 640 by 640 or 1000 x 1000, and have tried both. I shot the footage on canon 70d using 720p60fps, and edited the footage with iMovie. Its been frustrating to see the finished product look great on iPhone, iPad, or mac but once i post the video- the quality gets blurry when you focus on the faces that are in focus. My footage is basketball action shots from a high school game. Any advice would be huge, I been looking for an answer to this for a month.

Simple export a ProRes 422 file, upload that by itself. Facebook, Vimeo, YoutTube, etc, all compress the video themselves. So don't compress it first, just upload it and let them do their own compression.

I bought a iphone 4 from a guy on craigslist, I knew about ios 7.0 having the lock thing, but when I met him, his simcard was in the phone, I tested the phone with his simcard in from of him. The phone looked great with no problems and I even got the box

I bought a iphone 4 from a guy on craigslist, I knew about ios 7.0 having the lock thing, but when I met him, his simcard was in the phone, I tested the phone with his simcard in from of him. The phone looked great with no problems and I even got the box with the accesories, so I knew it was his... I then did the reset on the phone (erase all data... from settings) and it went through and activated and everything was good... I used the phone for about a month with no problems at all, even had my apple ID in the icloud and everything... well ios 7.0.6 came out and I used my computer to restore the phone, because I feel that the cord and computer gives it a better restore, it did great no problems, and when it went to the part where I went to activate the phone, I get a enter your apple id and password to complete activation... Wait... why is this up i thought, I thought I did everything like I suppose to to succesfully switch it to me, the new owner... but now its asking for some C******@yahoo.com.... I only have @gmail.com emails and none start with a C... The guy sold me the phone because he was switching to Verizon, and I tried to call him, and now the number is disconnected... I guess he switched to Verizon with a new number... Now im stuck with a paperweight that costed me $200.00... What can I do at this point... Please help me... I restored it to give it to my Step Son as I just got me the iphone 5... Thank you for ANY HELP in advance... Thank you again.

Photos look great edited in LR 3 but extremely grainy when printed

I said I would take photos at a friends wedding and now I just want to cry.
I edited raw photos in LR3 - they look great in LR. I export them to a folder and they still look great on a large screen. But then I sent them off to print. It wasn't so much the colours that annoyed me it was the grain and sharpening in the photo, it looks terrible. I only realised this after I gave her the photos on disk and she spent money printing 1000 crap photos...
I have never had this issue before. I am just doing a light edit - small crop on some, don't know if its the export process.
I have played around and what seems to work is moving the luminance to close to 85-100 and sharpening to 0. I just want to know is that right do it it that way or am I missing a major thing.
When I do an export from lightroom. Its jpeg format sRGB, quality - 80, resolution 240
This bit I am unsure of...I have ticked sharpen output as set for matte paper, amount - standard.
If anyone could help me out soon I would really appreciate it, as it would save me using a lot of tissues as I am quite frustrated.

I have attached 3 photos.
When I took the photos I shot as both raw and jpeg. I have attached the following:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5ebbdi4o3u14wk3/CZWB8wJcce/Grainy%20Photos?lst
a.. the original raw photo
b.. the jpeg that came with it (as is out of the camera)
c.. the final edited jpeg
d.. A screen print of the image uploaded to printing lab (It will look grainy around the hair line...but that's the problem)
I have played around a fair bit. All looks great in LR and when I get out of LR and open them up full screen out of windows explorer they look good too.
It was only when the bride complained about the blurriness, I then tried uploading the final high resolution file to RGB Digital Labs that you could see how bad they were.
Last night I was playing around and I tried uploading the jpeg straight out of the camera to RGB labs and that too was bad. So I am starting to think would it be the camera, but then again when they look so good after editing why would they look bad at print time. Photo was taken at f$ 1/200 shutter speed and ISO 320 (so it’s not like I didn’t have light) I had a flash as well
I think I am going to have a mental breakdown!!!
So far from what I have found to get the picture looking ok Sharpness is “0”and luminance is set to 100 – so too extremes which just does not seem right, I have never had to do this before.
Any help would be great
Thanks
Sara

My site looks great on the laptop, but does not transfer to desktop screen...

I designed my site to be on long scrolling page that features several full browser width slidehows. It looks great on the laptop, and I used the scroll motion trick to keep it from sliding horizontally, but when I published my trial version and checked it on the large desktop screen it's all screwed up. Help!! I have been working on this for weeks! is there any way to design a site that holds it shape in different sized browsers???
