Re: Pixelated blurred video in PE8 - another

HI BOB1984
I'm having similar problems to you with PE8, very poor quality play back when viewing in the editor window, but with either SD MPEG files from a Flash memory camcorder or SD avi files, SD avi has been around for years I can't beleive these donlt paly back ok too. it's hopless, have you noticed that if you play them by double clicking the clip in the organiser that they play just fine though ? not that that is much use. I've given up am going bak to Ulead VS9 and am going to try and get my $140 back from Adobe.
regards longstorey

Try a different approach.
Start a new project. Use the DVD/Hard Drive Camcorder project preset.
Bring in the VOB as is. Put it on the timeline. Then go to Share/Personal Computer/DV-AVI. See if that gives you better results.\
If not, it could be the original VOB. Remember MPEGs and VOBs can use a little or a lot of compression, depending on how they're set up. And heavy compression makes for an ugly file, no matter what you convert it to.

Pixelated blurred video in PE8 - another

I have learned more from this forum about various topics than from Adobe's help files. Thanks to the folks who donate time and knowledge.
Now on to my problem - blurred video in PE8 timeline. I was importing VOB files. Based on advice in other threads, I converted VOB files to AVI and backtracked from QT 7.6.4 to 7.5.5, rendered timeline. No help. Specifics follow.
Obtained MPEG_Streamclip 1.2.
Obtained QuickTimeMPEG2 (only version available from Apple is 7.60.902.0 which will only install with QuickTime 7.6.4)
Used Streamclip to convert VOB to AVI.
Both original VOB and generated AVI played well in Streamclip
The AVI played well in Windows Media Player 11,.0.574.5145
In QuickTime 7.6.4, VOB played video okay but with no audio
In Quicktime 7.6.4, AVI played video very blurry (worse than VOB in PE8) but audio okay
In PE8, VOB imported to timeline was blurry even after rendering and or changing display to 100%
In PE8, generated AVI imported to timeline was blurrier than the VOB
Uninstalled QT 7.6.4 and installed QT 7.5.5
All of the above problems (playing in QT and PE8) were exactly the same

Pixelated blurred video in PREmElem8

I am new to preelm8 but have used videstudio9 for some time
I bring into a new PRE project a video clip from a canon legria fs21 (24 bits 720x576 16:9 25Frames/sec mpeg-2 video upper field first, file fomat PAL DVD), i set the project preset to Hard disk flash memory camcorder, widescreen 48kHz, widescreen PAL video (16:9 interlaced), DVD PAL, 25fps, 720hx576v UFF etc. This should be the correct preset for the files from the FS21, am I correct ?.
I then drop the video clip onto the timeline and play it in the monitor panel, it is blurred and pixelated and you can see this especially on the edges of anything that is moving, really quite poor. Interestingly if I play exactly the same clip from the ORGANIZE by just double clicking on it the video quality is very good why is there a difference?
Back in the EDITER i right click the monitor panel and change magnification to 100% it is terrible so i just put it back to FIT, saw some comments about his on the forum. I hit return to render it, this makes no difference (in fact it doesn't render, no red bar going to a greeen bar) and surely it shouldn't, if my project settings exactly match the clip then there is no need to render if I have done nothing except drop the raw clip onto the timeline am I correct in this assumption ? this is true in videstudio9 for these mpeg clips, even when you burn to DVD it only renders menus, if the clips are unaltered from their raw state on the time line they don't need to be rendered
If i follow the same process in videostudio 9 and play the clip in the editor the quality is fine !, Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong
Interestingly if I go to share and export the timeline with the PAL DVD widescreen preset but with field order altered to UFF (default is LFF and exporting with it set to this gives terrible quality predictably I guess) then the quality of the file when burn't to a DVD is the same as the same file burn't to a dvd using videstudio 9 when viewed on the TV, so the problem just seems to be a playback issue when in the editor as far as I can see
by compariosn if i import an HD file (robotica_720.wmv from ms web site), choose the correct project preset, dump it onto the time line and play it it is really good quality
the computer is toshiba sat pro intel core 2 duo, 2.2Ghz, 2Gb ram176Gb free disk space win xp pro sp3
any help would be much appreciated otherwise i guess it;s going to irritate me so much that it's $140 down the drain and back to VS9 which would be a pity as I like some other things in PRE

HI Steve
There is no red line, i don't think you need to render if the project settings match the clip setting and all you have done is drop the clip into the time line and nothihng else, if I press enter nothing happens, the clip was brought across using SDCOPY.exe this allows you to change the file extension from .MOD to .MPG and also gives the option to set the 16:9 flag in the header, if I get the clip from the camera directly using PRE it doesn't correctly set the 16:9 flag in the same way that the useless Pixela sw which ships with the camera doesn't either hence the thrid party sw, there's endless stuff about this issue on the forums it's a canon stuff up they are writing the apsect ratio info in some other file instead of the MOD.
I also tried to import DV SD definition avi clips in via IEEE using PRE and the correct preset of course and I get the same hopeless quality when I play that back in the editer as well, again there is no red bar or rendering as the proj setting is identical to the clip.
I agree that if i choose a preset that does not match the clip then I do see a red line as expected or if I add some text or a picture etc to the timeline then there is red bar too
yup i understand the comment about flipping the field order the preset uses reverse field order page 44 of the manual, the project preset says UFF the MOD clip is UFF but the default FO in SHARE for the MPEG PAL DVD widescreen preset for output to PC is LFF and if you render with this any motion in the rendered mpeg is terrible, if you change it to UFF then it is fine.
Anway I've pretty much given up with this now and I see BOB1984 is having similar problems but with another video format, time to find out how adobe custmer service works out when it comes to honouring their 30 day money back guarantee !

Blur video frame with NI PCI-1411 and JAI CV M-300 camera (urgent problem)

Hello,
I am new with Vision and I need some advice with a problem, which I encountered.
I have a computer with integrated NI PCI-1411 board, which is connected to a JAI CV M-300 camera. I am measuring a steel part which is positioned in a dark chamber. The part is put on a glass board and is illuminated from underneath with light.
The part is moving. I have to measure this part when it reaches the camera region. I have made a test with not-moving part and everything is perfect. Now, when I move the part I get blur frames from video (with these no part measurement is possible). I need specify, that the camera has no trigger, so it makes video all the time (this video is later inspecting with Vision Builder).
I have tried to change parameters in MAX, but no involvement. I have found no proper icd/file for the camera.
I also could use a SONY DXC-950P camera, if this is better.
How can I eliminate the blur from video frames? Or what am I doing wrong? Is the camera not good enough? Camera + trigger would get better images.
I have attached the video frame with moving object (static) and the blur video frame with moving object (dynamic).
Please give me a answer or ideas as soon as possible.
Thanks.

You are using an interlaced camera. It takes half the picture (every other line), waits a split second, then takes the other half of the picture (the other lines). When it puts the two images together, you can see the two positions it was in when the images were taken.
The best solution is to use a non-interlaced or progressive scan camera, which takes the entire image at one time. The Sony might be this type of camera, since it has a P in its name. I didn't look up the specs.
If you can't get the right kind of camera, your only other option is to use fields instead of frames. One field is the half image taken at one time. The image will be half the height of the original image, though, which can mess things up.
Another possibility is the reduce the resolution of the image. If you take every other pixel in both directions, you will have a very clear image that is half the size of the original. You can do this with Extract in LabVIEW, not sure if it is available in VBAI.

Is there a way to import ONLY videos into PE8, not photos?

I have a million photos I never intend to use in a Premiere Elements 8 production. Using the PE8 "Organizer," is there a way to import ONLY videos into PE8, not photos?

I do not use Organizer, so may be missing something, but I would guess that one could Sort By, and choose File Type. Remember, Organizer is for the system, and does not reflect what is Imported for use in a Project - two different things. In lieu of Organizer, I use Adobe Bridge, installed with some of my other Adobe programs.
I would also assume that Organizer does things via folders. If one does not have any aspect set to auto, I would think that it would ONLY do thumbnails for certain folders, as directed. If one has their stills in other folders, then only AV Assets would be seen by Organizer.
Maybe some Organizer guru will have better directions for you. I am just thinking here and speculating.
Good luck,
Hunt

When I insert a photo from iPhoto in an iMovie video, it´s another photo that is displayed in the movie

When I insert a photo from iPhoto in an iMovie video, it´s another photo that is displayed in the movie.
I´ve tried to end iMovie, shut down the MacBook Pro, but the same problem happens again.

Hi
BUT
This can take times ! - I mean several Hours ! !
Last time I did this it took > 20 Hours (INTEL i7 4x4 processors - 2.2GHz)
AND - remember to connect Your MacBook (or laptop) to Mains-adaptor - as battery might run out !
Still - there is no alternative route to this (repair of iPhoto Library) suggested by Karsten !

Blurred video after BIOS update

Hi,
I have updated my T520 from version 1.23 (?) to version 1.34-1.19/1.19 and since then I have blurred video in the Sophos Safeguard password screen. Sophos Safeguard is a disk encrypter and gets launched before Windows 7 does.
Since then I had to enter my password blindly, but I could login okay.
I thought that maybe an update of the video driver would do the trick. I installed version 8.15.10.2538; only the last for digits where higher than the previously installed version. I did all updates via ThinkVantage System Update btw.
After that update, I couldn't even enter my password blindly, just reboot. Fortunately after disconnecting my external monitor I was able to login blindly again.
Before I mess up my system even more...does anyone know what the problem is and maybe how I can resolve it?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards, Tom

Did you hear a small beep every time you started your computer? Do you still hear a beep after a few seconds after you start your computer? Thats usually the beep to indicate that it's loading. If you don't hear that sound, theres not much you can do with that motherboard as the bios is curropt

This is determined by your carrier. SMS/MMS is a poor man's email and by that I mean SMS/MMS has major restrictions and limitations compared to email but is a cash cow for cell phone carriers.
Upload the video to YouTube when connected via wifi and send the YouTube link via text.

Adding horizontal pixels on video

Hi ..
i got 60-70 clips with diferent aspect ratio..
the point is for example, if video is 960x720
i want to add extra pixel below video so aspect ratio will be lets say 960x750, but this 30px will be black and below video
I need most easy way to do this ..
you have to have in mind that all clips have different ratio .. so it is not option to
define ratio ..
I'm using "New item" to define aspect ratio of clip/creating sequence..
i know for example to see ratio and
define creating sequence on begining .. then insert clip and move X,y .. but I'm trying to avoid that.... to much work
so any suggestions

Hi, quick update on this. I took it back to Apple store. They replaced the graphics card & that seems to have sorted the problem. Incidently, i bought Mac because i was told the hardware was reliable. Ha, i've had it back to the store twice in a year. I got grey smudges on the screen (overheating behind the LCD), i had to have the LCD replaced twice. Then when it went into sleep mode, i got no response & had to reboot. Previously I have always had Windows based Sony Viao's. In all those yrs, i have never had hardware problem with them. Twice the money & twoce the problems with Apple. When it works, they are great, but these hardware problems have me wondering if i made the correct choice.
Hope this helps (Apologies for the rant)

Resizing pixel art video without affecting the pixels with blur.

Hello everyone,
First I would like to mention that I did searched for an answer to my issue on the forum but only found a thread by Rowby Goren from Jan 4, 2010, who asked a similar pixel resize question regarding to still images in CS4. He was answered to use Photoshop for this kind of task. My issue on the other hand is for handling a video that can only be edited in Premiere. I'm using CS6. My issue is as follows:
I work a lot with pixel art animation in 320x240 resolution. Usually I'm making a 320x240 scene of background and characters and the final result should be a doubled sized. So each pixel is actually 2 times larger. Just like old adventure games from the good old days that most of us remember. It works great with old style games creation engines however when I want to make a video with my pixel art creation in Premiere, I couldn't achieve an exact and clean doubled pixel when resizing the source by 200%. It always gets blurry. Does anyone knows if Premiere has any switch off option for scalling blur?
I have created an image that describes the issue. It's just a simple pixel art image that I picked up on google search. I saved and uploaded it as PNG for best quality, I just hope it won't get compressed after the upload. Any assitance will be appreciated!
Thanks,
Gal Shemesh

Thanks Jim, I am aware of the fact that it's a degraded image that doesn't have any antializing effect on it. And that's what I'm trying to achieve in Premiere, although it's currently impossible. Until now I'm doing exactly what you suggested, which is to double the size in Photoshop or other tool that doesn't affect any antializing on the image and then I import it into Premiere. However this also makes a problem when you want to move objects on the screen as the imported images which are doubled size, won't show well on the 1:1 pixel grid when you move them around the screen. So let's say each move on the X axis to the left or right (which represents a move by 1 pixel) should be moved twice in order to meet the doubled sized images pixel grid.
Take a look on the picture I created to see what I mean. I've duplicated the box image and I'm trying to position each box one next to another in a 3d space look. The left boxes is the original image of the 2 boxes, and the right image is the doubled sized image that was created outside of Premiere. Please note that I've the entire screenshot twice larger so you could see the difference. And please ignore the fact that there is no antializing on the right image as I made this simulation in Photoshop so the pixels will be clean to show the problem.
So, if you aware of how a pixel grid looks like, check the left image. The position of the boxes on each other is the way it should be as each pixel from each box keeps the relation of a 1:1 pixel grid. However on the right image I first doubled the original box image to prevent 'blurring' effect when scalling up in Premiere, put it on a 1:1 pixel canvas (where the image has 2:2 pixel grid by now) just like how it will be in Premiere, and tried to position the boxes one next to another. See that there's a confusion between the pixels on the 1:1 grid as they got merged one INTO another without saving the relation of a doubled pixel grid. Where if there was any option to work in doubled sized pixles in Premiere, it would have look like this:
So importing a doubled size images into Premiere like you suggested is way hard to keep tracking the moving objects in the scene, as you must remember to move them twice the times to each direction. Which means that if you want to move an object from one side of the screen to the other side, you'll have to do it frame by frame in a move of 2 pixels by frame, rather then positioning it in one place, make a keyframe, and then go to where the movement should end and place another keyframe.
Hope now my issue is clear.
All the best,
Gal Shemesh
