Slo Mo looks terrible in iMovie

Imported a 240 fps movie from my iPhone 6 to Mac Mini, then into an iMovie project. iMovie plays the clip at regular speed, so i slowed it down to 25%, 12%, etc. and the resulting slo mo is choppy. Terrible quality. Slo mo looks great on the iPhone and in QuickTime though.
How do i get the iMovie video to look like it does on the iPhone?
Specs:
iPhone 6
iMovie 10.0.6
Mac Mini
Yosemite
Thank you

Hi
a. most probably there was a mpeg4 movie in Your .mov container.
iMovie uses streamingDV (13Gb/h of movie)
b. You might test with iMovie'08 course it handles more strange formats.

  • My high quality video looks terrible in iMovie HD

    I rendered several files in Carrara into high quality .mov files, but as soon as I drag them into iMovie HD, they look terrible! They become much less sharp and more pixilated. I was hoping this was just while in iMovie to make it easier to edit, but when I exported/shared it at full quality it still looks terrible. help would be appreciated.

  • Imported pictures look terrible

    Has anybody noticed that imported pictures from iPhoto look terrible? They're all jagged and blurry. This same issue happened with iMovie 4, I think it was, and then was fixed in iMovie 5 and now it seems to be back again.

    Not a solution, but you'll find some feedback I got from my posting (jean-Claude) dated feb 5th, 06 ... "jagerred lines on slides show". I find that the problem seems to be getting worse as time goes by, and it's driving me crazy !!!

  • Everything I export is gigantic and looks terrible with FCE

    I have tried exporting a project every way I can think of. Started with a 64MB .m4v i exported from iMovie, have tried custom size, basically every quicktime export option available. Every single movie is 4-5 times the size of the original, grainy, and generally just looks terrible.
    I used to use FCPro, now using FCE, and wondering if this is just a limitation of the software or has to do with the source file. Also, FCE won't let me import .m4v files or .mov files. Really frustrated with this program. If I could just figure out how to export a decent looking movie that's a reasonable size I'd be fine with it.

    I did a DV export and that file now looks like crap. This is way harder than it should be.
    Can't import the files I need into FCE (.mp4 or .mov)
    Can't import from iMovie since source files won't import
    Can't use iMovie export .m4v cause it won't work with FCE
    Can't use iMovie export DV cause it looks terrible.
    That's a whole lot of can'ts for what's supposed to be a powerful video editing program.

  • Exporting: Dark areas look terrible. Solutions?

    Hi all,
    I'm shooting 1080p video with a Canon 60D and trying to put together some nice little films with iMovie 11.  Unfortunately, on export, the dark areas always come out looking absolutely awful.  They're pixelated and they almost seem to glimmer.  It looks terrible.  Blacks are obviously the worst but other darker shades suffer from the same problem.  Don't notice it at all in bright shots.
    Does anyone know of an export setting to fix this?  If iMovie 11 is incapable of exporting videos with nice looking dark areas, what software should I consider?  It really kind of bothers me.
    Cheers!

    im06, fce or fcp will output better image quality - in that order, PC too.

  • I made an iMovie, 6.0.3 using music from iTunes and photos from the Internet. It looked fine on iMovie, but when I uploaded it to youtube,some of the photo near the beginning was corrupted.What steps should I take to export iMovie for youtube?

    I made an iMovie, 6.0.3 using music from iTunes and photos from the Internet. It looked fine on iMovie, but when I uploaded it to youtube, some of the photo near the beginning were corrupted on youtube. I tried a different photo, and the corruption took place at the same moment of the video. How do I prepare the video for export to get it ready for youtube? I wasn't sure whether to clik web or web streaming. Am I supposed to clik Quick Time after I clik Share?

    I unfortunately cannot remember where I got the 'trrndlines' plugin... I assume that it must have been from CFX (as it is located under /Users/Dom/Library/iMovie/Plug-ins/cfx/XXXtrrndlines.bundle).
    As for what it does, I also do not know, as I do not think I ever used it in my previous video projects.
    At this stage, I think I just need to uninstall it so that iMovie doesnt try to use it.
    Do you know how to uninstall a CFX plugin in iMovie?
    NOTE: I have re-installed iMovie 6.0.4 (instead of iMovie 6.0.3), but still encounter the same issue.

  • External Monitor looks terrible

    I recently got ahold of two monitors, both DVI, to hook up to my 12 inch PowerBook for my setup at work.
    On both of them I attempted to run as a mirrored displays as well as an extended desktop. I can verify that at least one of the monitors is high-quality and gives a nice crisp picture when attached to any other machine.
    However the image coming from the PowerBook is pretty abysmal. The edges are dull, the colors are washed out and I'm really unimpressed with the picture.
    I bought the 12" PowerBook because of the portability and because evetually I knew I would want to use it with a larger screen. Is this not the case?
    Any ideas?

    I've tried different profiles as well as calibrating.
    They all look terrible.
    It isn't an issue of the colors being off, it primarily has to do with the clarity of the picture. Both of these monitors I KNOW are capable of a better picture than they have with the PowerBook.

  • Text looking terrible in InDesign document...

    I am running into an issue putting together a marketing report for my work. The small photo caption text (frutiger light size 8) looks terrible when I PDF it.
    But in addition to it looking terrible when I pdf it, it also looks terrible in the InDesign document if I get too close to an image.
    I have tried putting all the text on a separate layer that is on top of everything else (including anything that is a transparency).
    The body text (which is frutiger regular size 9) looks totally fine.
    I do have transparencies on my pages but I have to because my boss likes us to have drop shadows when we show sample document pages.
    How can I fix this? The proposal document is going to be delivered digitally, so even if it prints ok that wont work because most likely it will only be viewed on screen.
    These images show how the text changes depending on how close or far away I get.

    Does it look bad in the PDF on screen only or also when printed on a high resolution device?
    If the text is above all transparent objects than it is not a transparency flattening problem, although you did not tell us anything about your PDF export settings.
    If it looks good on high resolution print but bad on screen only it might be an issue of the used font only. To be honest, on your screen shot I don't see the problem here what you mentioned. Could you link your problematic INDD and PDF here. Not the original file, it understnd that it is not possible for you, but a small file where you reconstruct this problem with a placeholder image and blind text, one page only to keep things small.

  • Dotted Stroke created in Indesign look terrible in pdf...

    Help.
    I'm creating dotted strokes in InDesign, which when exported (or distilled) to a pdf look terrible - no Anti-aliasing.
    This can be fixed by creating the same shapes in Illustrator, expanding the stroke, then placing that file in InDesign. But that means each shape has to be re-created in Illustrator each time - which is not a good solution as I am setting up templates for other agencies around the world to use. Editing and creating these strokes in InDesign is the only solution. However, it doesn't seem possible to 'expand' the stroke in InDesign prior to creating the pdf...
    ...any ideas?
    Thanks

    This is a screen issue only, depending on the local Acrobat/Reader settings in antialiasing vector objects.
    BTW: Don't use Distiller or any other Postscript like EPS anymore, use only export.

  • PDF exports look terrible - white lines in text

    I have been u sing indesign for years and years all of the sudden my pdf exports look terrible. The images are pixelated and the text has white lines
    in it.
    I used these pdf previews for my clients and I certainly cant use what Im getting from INDD right now. I have no idea what happened to cuase this.
    Wish I could show you but any ideas would be great.
    The following text has no formatting on it yet there are pixelated white lines? help?
    Thanks in advance.

    Wow - thank you for all the responses. Yes it still happened with different fonts, different sizes of font etc... So I looked at my export settings and noticed that it was set to High Quality Print - Modified. I Switched it back to High Quality Print and it appear to have cleaned it up quite a bit.
    Thank you all for your speedy responses.

  • Mirroring (Mac Pro to TV) Watching videos from websites looks terrible

    Hello! We are trying to use Apple TV to cut out cable, which is easier said than done at this point! One thing we are trying to do is watch content from CBS.com or Hulu.com (show that can only be streamed on a computer) on our TV through mirroring. For one thing the image looks terrible. It was very pixilated, delayed, and stuttery. We are hitting about a 15 Mbps download speed. We are considering returning the system if this doesn't work. Does anyone know any way to make it look better?
    THANKS!

    Got some links to the external videio card ?
    Last one i saw was 100% diy and only worked partial under windows and not under osx at all

  • Edit in photoshop looks terrible

    i thought i would try the "seamless" editing between LR and photoshop. go to photo, edit in photoshop....CS2 opens up...i can edit, dogde, burn, whatever...how great! then click save....and there are my changes in LR. in a perfect world, this would be great. but, the RAW file looks TERRIBLE when opened in photoshop. it looks like a washed out bluish cast with a bit of negative effect on it. it just looks bad. then when you save and view it in LR, it looks the same...terrible. i spoke with a couple people and they said this was a bug in the beta version. looks like an issue still. so now i have to take the long way around and export to tiff, then work on the photos, then export to jpg. ridiculous. i still like the software but they really should have focused on the big things instead of the small stupid things...like the 5 star rating system for photos.

    there was no tone in my first post, what you were reading was insane frustration. i spent 5 hours on this and it still isn't working. sorry if you took it personal. the photos look faded when i right click, choose edit in CS2, and view them in CS2. if i open any other photos in CS2 they look mint. let me say they don't look night and day but they are very faded and the color saturation is not there. what settings in CS2? where do i look for these? i thought everything was perfect since it always is when i just use CS2. 2 of my other guys have the same issue, as well as another photo studio we are in touch with who dont' work with us. 4 people with the same issue is odd i think you would agree. i don't think we will get much resolved via this since i can't show you the photos. and when i do select edit in CS2, i get the box that comes up with the 3 bullet points...half the time i only am able to select the 3rd, since the first and 2nd are greyed out and yes i have the full version. bought right from adobe. what setting do you check off in CS2 to make it look great? then when i click SAVE in CS2, it brings it back to LR with my edits which is great, but it's the faded non-saturated version. i really really really wish i could give you more info but i can't. i'm not new to adobe, just LR. i have been using After FX, premiere, PS, encore, audition for years.

  • MacMini looks terrible with Samsung SyncMaster 225BW

    I have the latest Mac working with a Samsung SyncMaster 225 monitor, and the font aliasing look terrible! Is there anything I can do about this? I have gone through the colour calibration and it is slightly improved, but it still looks pretty poor.
    I have connected this monitor to a PC and the font display looks good, except for Apple's webpages (such as these discussion forums)! What fonts are used here? And why do these look so poor on this 22" 1680x1050 DVI connected TFT monitor?
    Any clue would be appreciated?

    Thanks for the reply. I think it is half and half, the problem is both Apple and the Samsung. I believe the graphics adapter (Intel GMA 950) in the MacMini is pretty poor and what you said about Apple's font smoothing... and I think the actual Samsung panel is somehow not good with this adapter.
    I tried the MacMini on an NEC 21" and it looked better, and I also tried it on a BenQ 24" and this was pretty good. I also have a iMac 24" and whatever panel they use in that, the fonts, etc looks pretty **** good!
    So there must be something going on with the Samsung 225BW and the Mini itself! (Although, to be honest, my NEC 1770NX 17" LCD monitor is not giving that good a display at the moment!)
    Is there a way of updating the driver for this Samsung (or this NEC 1770NX) monitor?! Are we all stuck with whatever driver the Mac uses when it detects the display?

  • Text looks terrible!

    I just got my new Mac Pro up and running and I'm finding that when I use text (either imported from LiveType or text in FCP) the lettering looks terrible. Very pixelated. I've tried rendering it but that doesn't help. Right now I'm only looking at it on my Cinema Display, but even so, it should look clean, shouldn't it?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.
    Jamie

    Set your viewer and canvas windows to 100%. Right now they are most likely at Fit to window. You are only viewing one field and anything other than 100%.
    You do this at the view menu top of either viewer or canvas, depending on which window you are using, and it is the left button of a group of three buttons in the center of the window.

  • Why does the web look TERRIBLE on my new Retina display?

    The new retina display is fantastic, but browsing the web looks horrible.  Can anything be done to improve the web browsing experience? 

    Most websites are designed to look good on low end computers, typically with a resolution of around 1024x768.
    Our retina macbooks have such a high resolution display that they basically show the flaws you would not normally see on a low resolution display.Text that is rendered using the mac os system fonts should look beautiful, but low resolution pictures and non-native text will look terrible on any website or application.
    There is no real fix for this issue, other than hoping the web in general starts moving to higher resoltuion content in the future. The same problem exists with the retina iPad, and in my opinion, things look even worse on the ipad since you tend to be zoomed in further while browsing the web.
