Still image becomes pixelated...

Hello all.
I have a logo that I am animating, making it increase in size as the next scene of my project comes in (the logo is in transparent lettering on a black background)
as it increases, it becomes pixelated.... (obviously) Is there any way to avoid this pixelation from happening??

How big is the logo? How big are you scaling it? There isn't much you can do if you're scaling it up. Starting with a larger logo so you don't have to scale it beyond 100% would be better.

  • Images become pixelated after Rendering

    Hi,
    I have a rather old version of Premiere Pro. (V 7.0) and I'm trying to put stills in my video but when I do and then render the video, all my images become pixelated. The images started out crisp and clear before rendering. I have been resizing/ repositioning the images but I tried without resizing and the images still become blurred and pixelated. I've tried exporting to see if it was just the viewer but video comes out pixelated as well. I've tried several things:
    Images are PNGs. I've tried .Tiff and  .Jpg  and neither made a difference.
    Images that are not resized pixelate as well.
    Quality is set to Highest.
    Zoom Level is 100%
    Tried setting Pixel Aspect Ratio to Square pixels.
    Below is an example of my problem. The images have yet to be resized and are still becoming pixelated.

    I'm having same issue.   Premiere Pro has THE WORST customer support.  I waited on hold for over 1 hour and 18 minutes, and when I got connected 10 minutes 'til 9, they said I had called in too late, and that is why my call was transferred to a sales person.    I'm looking to ditch my PP CC and find something with better customer support...let me know if you find something as well.

  • When adding a tween, images become pixelated

    I've used timline/animation in Photoshop for awhile, but just noticed, when I add tweens between two images, the original images become pixelated when I save as animated GIFs.
    Test #1
    Photoshop file with two layers -- each with a photograph
    Timeline: frame 1 has image from layer 1 and frame 2 has image from layer 2
    Choose Save For Web and the images look pretty goodI realize that GIFs are only 256 colors
    Test #2
    Create Photshop files as in Test #1
    Add a tween with 1 frame
    Choose Save For Web and the images look pretty good
    Test #3
    Create Photshop files as in Test #1
    Add a tween with more than one frame
    Choose Save For Web
    The images are now pixelated
    Trash...
    All but one tween and an image is no longer pixelated, OR
    All tweens and an image is no longer pixelated
    In other words, Saving For Web is fine as long as I don't add any tweens. As soon as I do, the images become pixelated. Take out the tweens, the pixelation goes away. And, I have tried to make all kinds of adjustments to the GIFs.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks--Robert

    HI Jeffrey:
    I can surely post some photos (screen shots from the Save As Web interface) of what I'm talking about and share the PSD file as well.
    • First image before Tween
    If you carefully look at the light brown vertical paint just behind the girl's right shoulder -- no big pixelated dots. And the guy's sweatshirt looks fairly smooth in transitions from highlights to shadows.
    • Second image after adding Tweens
    You'll now notice all the extra dots -- especially in the vertical brown paint job and other parts of the wall and his shirts.
    And it gets worse with other images/animations I've recently created.
    One thing I didn't mention is that I noticed this a few months back. This morning, I realized that's when I got rid of my old trusty 21" CRT monitor and got an LCD flat panel. I hooked up my old CRT and the dots are gone! But that doesn't resolve the issue of why when you add tweens, does it pixelate.
    Here's a link to the test.PSD file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/109581077/test.psd
    Any help would sure be appreciated! And if you need me to create a video of the steps I'm doing, I can do that to.
    Thank you!

  • Still Images Appear Pixelated When put into iMovie

    I've been working on iMovie 9, and have just downloaded the new iMovie 10 (I think that's the newest one!) anyway, when working on the previous iMovie any still images I uploaded from iPhoto appeared in my projects just fine, even when I was adding the Ken Burns effect etc. I have just imported this project into the new iMovie and now all of my still photos appear crystal clear for a second and then become horrifically pixelated.
    I am completely new to this and need to get this sorted as it's for a university project and I just can't get past these horrible pixely images, when they were fine on the previous iMovie! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    This should only be a temporary effect.  Once the clips have been converted in to ProRes (a background process) they will be OK.  If you do more editing the affected clips will again appear blurred until they are reprocessed.
    (In iMovie 9 you had to wait for the clips to be transcoded when you imported them, before you could do any editing.  In iMovie 10 you don't have to wait but the transcoding is done in the background.)

  • Vector image becomes pixelated and distorts text

    This is an issue that is driving me nuts!  I have a vector image created in Illustrator that I am placing in InDesign with an opacity setting.  When I print it to a PDF the text (and anything created in InDesign) that is over the image and the image itself become pixelated.  In InDesign in displays perfectly but something is happening in the conversion to PDF that is screwing up the file.  It displays and prints pixelated.  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
    Thanks so much!

    Hey Nik-
    I think I fixed it but fill me in.  The text is on a seperate layer above the image. I am printing to a PDF, is exporting better?  I just changed the transparency flattener to High resolution when i printed to a PDF it is now displaying and printing properly in Acrobat.
    Is that the best way to do this to ensure when I take it to a printer it will come out clean?
    Thanks!

  • Still image becomes blurry when played in iMovie 10.0.7

    I am attempting to use still images in an iMovie 10.0.7 presentation.  I have defeated the Ken Burns effect.  The clear image drops out of focus when I press play and pops back into focus when the clip ends.  Is there a fix for this?
    Thanks.

    That's a feature, lowering qualiyt while editing; on final export you'll notice a much better quality ....

  • Still images become distorted

    When I add still images to a clip, they start out playing fine, but after maybe a minute or so they change to these distorted, weird lines...not even close to the original image. Can anyone give me any suggestions?

    I found another post for the same problem, and clicked on the link someone had provided...basically you just have to insert Ken burns clip before all your other clips, edit your clips and then delete the Ken burns one.

  • After iOS 5.1 update on iPhone 4, some of my pictures in the camera roll become pixelated after a crop edit?

    I will elaborate.  Lets say I save an image from a website.  Then I go to the camera roll and edit crop it to make the image a tad bit smaller. Suddenly the images becomes pixelated and blocky.  When  I return to the image and tap the edit button, it becomes clear again and I can see the original picture.  When I tap cancel, it goes back to beign pixelated/blocky.  I tired restoring my phone to factory setting and losing all my data.  That didn't work.  As soon as I tested it, the same thing happened.  I tried some weird method from www.iphoneincanada.ca an that didn't work either. 
    This is very annoying!

    I have more info.  I am using a program to look at the files on my iPhone.  I did some testing and I came up with this.  When a photo is edited ( in my case cropping) an image is created in the Metadata folder.  The metadata folder is contained in a folder called PhotoData.  For some reason, the cropped JPG is put within this metadata folder.  The  DCIM folder contains the "actual image" you saved from the internet or wherever.  When a photo is edited in camer roll, a .XMP file is created for that image (Sometimes) and it's about 1kb.  Coincidentally, the image that is pixelated DOES NOT have an .XMP file associated with it in the DCIM folder.  
    To conclude, it seems that the pictures that have a .XMP file associated with it in the DCIM folder does not come out as pixelated.
    If there is a .XMP file then the photo in the Metadata folder become pixelated. 

  • Pixel dimensions for still images

    Hello all,
    I have just ran into a problem that seems to be a sizing problem with Final Cut Express HD. I used to crop my still pics to 1366 px - 768 px (for landscape) and then import them to FCE and export as a quicktime movie. When I brought the quicktime movie into iDVD and created the DVD it seemed to play great on my 46" Samsung tv -- full screen.
    I just recently bought a Samsung 60" and when I create the same type of movies, I am getting a huge black border around the whole image (not just top and bottom but sides too). I tried creating a new movie and made all my still images 1920px x 1080 px, and it still comes out the same way.
    I can stretch my tv so that they go full screen, but I think there should be a way to create the movie without having to stretch it....just have the tv set for 16:9, and I feel that it should work.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks.
    Norm

    When you create a DVD, no matter what the pixel dimensions of your original material, it become 720x480 Standard Definition. This is what a DVD is. If you are creating a DVD that has material that is 16x9, then it creates a DVD that is 720x480 but plays back anamorphic, stretching to create the 16x9 screen.
    If you play one of your older DVDs that played correctly on your previous TV, does it play correctly or does it also exhibit the black bars?
    If it plays correctly then something has changed in the way you are creating your project in FCE.and encoding and burning the DVD.
    If the older DVDs also exhibit the same playback problem, then I believe there is a menu setting on your new TV that will tell it how to display Standard Definition material from your DVD player, and you need to adjust that. (There are also settings in the set-top DVD player that tells it what kind of signal to send based on the what kind of display it is hooked up to.)

  • Still image pixel aspect ratio wrong in exported video (but correct in Premiere renders)

    I've saved a targa still image from my footage and added it to the bin. It's properties show as follows:
    Image Size: 1440 x 1080
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.3333
    This correctly matches my sequence settings as I'm working with 1080p widescreen footage.
    The image appears as expected in the Program window both before and after rendering previews. However, once I export my sequence as a video file, the still image is squashed (displaying incorrectly):
    A work around would be to stretch out the still to a width of 1920 in Premiere so that the export displays it back at its normal aspect ratio - which works - but I don't understand why I should have to do this.
    The other solution I found was to go to the bin and 'Modify > Interpret Footage' and although "Use Pixel Aspect Ratio from File" already shows the correct settings, to actively reset it (to the same pixel aspect ratio)  with the 'Conform to' option:
    This works too.
    Surely a bug?
    (using Premiere Pro CC)

    Thanks for the quick reply. But then why does the still's properties (in my bin) show the pixel aspect ratio as 1.3333 (not square pixels, 1.0) and should it not appear incorrectly in both the preview renders and the exported video ? This seems inconsitent to me.

  • Pixelated images when in preview mode on iMovie, but when I pause it the images become clear. How do I fix this?

    I just bought the latest version of iMovie and I am on 10.9.4. I transferred my slideshow from the old iMovie to the new one and almost all the pictures become pixelated when in preview mode. Yet when I pause it, the picture becomes clear. What do I do? It's driving me insane!

    After more attemps at cropping Im noticing that the saved version is unzoomed, so if I move the zoom bar just a tad the image becomes instantly sharp. But sadly that doesnt help me because iphoto will only let me save it and post it online as the unsharp pixulated version. Can anyone please help me!

  • DVCPRO HD 720P: pixel aspect ratios with still images from Final Cut

    I am currently trying to get still images from a trailer I am working on with Final cut pro. The footage is DVCPRO HD 720P 24pn and the interlacing and pixel aspect ratios have been giving me a lot of trouble in photoshop. I am able to convert the PAR but it is for preview purposes only...? I need the file to be saved with the converted PAR. How do you do that???
    Also, the de-interlacing filter on photoshop doesn't seem to help the quality of the photo.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    I have searched and searched and only found somewhat related questions, so maybe I am the only one trying to do this...

    Why are you doing interlace if you have 720p?

  • Youtube videos becoming green and still image?

    I started watching some videos and after 10 minutes, what i could see was a green still image... Thought that this was not something that i should not worry about, but today it happened again! Now, i cannot watch any video.
    P.S. if that helps, i tried to watch a youtube video which was on a webpage with safari. For a couple of moments, everything was fine, but soonly, it turned into a green image, the same that happens now with the youtube app!!!!

    Well, First of all, some of my .PDF files started to disappear without any reason, a year or so ago, a couple of months ago the "message" started to come up everytime I tried to shut it down or re start it. Then, the YouTube videos went "green" on Internet Explorer, and then on Google Chrome too! A couple of weeks ago any video saved on my Laptop, started to go "black", the same pattern, only audio could be heard, no images. It took a little while, I mean, after turning on my Laptop, 30 minutes or 2 hours later, tops, the YT videos would turn green,after watching 2 to 6 six videos on YT. and black, on Windows Media, at the same time, whenever I tried to play any video.
    Then I tried the link that I posted before. And my Laptop is getting slower after that, the display has "blinked", 1 or 2 times this past week. Internet Explorer "crashes", and I have to re-open my "session" to see my previous visited sites. I think this last part, is normal, since everytime IE fails and you have to "close the program", and then open it again, it doesn't scare me.
    What does scare me is to have a virus, or mallware. I have an antivirus, McAfee Security Center. And, I don't know what else to say.
    I use my laptop to record music, I have 2 programs for that, and 1 or 2 more that came with a guitar pedal and a keyboard, and I don't know if I should have just one, instead of 2 programs (DAWs) installed on my laptop, does that affect my Laptop?
    Thanks for replying.

  • Video Still Image Enhancement Software

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone out there can give me some assistance. We video horse shows and at a show last week we had some requests we have never had to deal with before -- a bunch of people wanting still images from our video. (The photographer at the show was not good at all and took few if any action shots).
    At any rate, we collected names and numbers and told the people who asked we'd try. I've pulled stills off video before and used them on the covers of some of the training DVDs we've produced, but I've never tried to blow them up to anything beyond a 1 or 2 inch shot. These people would be happy with a 4x6.
    Knowing that I have a number of folks out there who would pay for even a "reasonably" clear still image, I was wondering if there was any software newly available that helped boost the resolution of a video still and/or software that increased the quality of image.
    I did some quick research on the web and found a Windows product called Topaz Moments and a Adobe Premere plug-in from RedHawkVision, but nothing that was a stand alone (or FCP compatible/Quicktime Compatible) product for Mac OSX. These products seemed to tout they did a multiple frame combine to render a sharper image than a single frame grab.
    Any help provided would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Kim

    Captures from DV video are 720x480 non-square pixels. The equivalent of a really cheap still camera c. 2000 (640x480 pixel image)
    To get the best possible image pick a segment where there is NO or VERY LITTLE motion. The more motion,the more interlacing problems.
    If you have interlacing issues (usually evidenced by jagged vertical lines), you may need to deinterlace the image, which basically means, you are throwing away half the vertical resolution in order to clear up the jaggies. The outcome of this is your image is effectively now a 640 x240 pixels, though the 240 will be doubled through digital trickery to become 480 again. Nevertheless, the resolution IS significantly decreased.
    So.....
    If you figure you will print these images out at 150 dpi, your 640x480 image is slightly wider than 4 inches and higher than 3 inches. 4x6 is possible but temper expectations before you hand them the prints.
    Good luck.
    FWIW, if you think you are going to have continued requests for stills, you will be much better served by an inexpensive (or expensive as your business model provides) digital camera for stills.
    Good luck.
