Still images are blurry when dropped into Canvas

HI, I am running Final Cut 7. When I drop still images into onto the Timeline, when I click on that image to appear in the Canvas they are blurry.  However, when I put on the Alpha+RGB they are as sharp as they normally are - except they are red.  How do I change this so they are sharp in the RGB channel?
Thanks for your help

Thanks.  Like I said, I have downsized this still image to 720 x 576 at 72 ppi and it goes to crap.
I just changed the setting to HD 1280 x 720.  Import the 720 x 576 at 72 ppi ... looks good but needs to be rendered .. render and it goes to crap.  Everything that is imported needs to be rendered - then it all goes to crap. OR video looks good as a still frame and when rendered it goes to crap as it isn't HD but I thought it would be the quality of what it normally is just in an HD environment.
Thinking Final Cut X will solve these issues as it doesn't have these format problems like 7 does.

  • 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.)

  • 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 Are Blurry

    Hi All,
    I will start with saying that, I saw quit a lot of discussions on the net with the same issue.  However couldnt find the solution for it.
    The Issue:
    I am trying to create a stop-motion video using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.
    I am importing a bunch of still photos into my project.
    When I drag&drop any image into the sequence it looks very blurry relatively to the original photo.
    The same result after rendering and exporting the sequence.
    Additional settings:
    I also set to automatically fit the photo(s) to the sequence settings (Default scale to frame size).
    Raw Meterial:
    4288X2848 JPG.
    I tried to resize the photos before importing but I get the same results
    The target sequence:
    720X576
    60 FPS
    I tried other sequence setting with no much luck.
    My questions:
    What am I doing wrong?
    Why I see the video/images blurry?
    Thanks for your time and effort.
    Sample of "What I See".
    Pay attention that the right side is blurry, that is the video preview pane. On the left is the original photo preview.

    First of all, I stopped watching the video when it says a second has 60 milliseconds. That is not true. And it is not relevant.
    I can't tell if you live in Israel or were vacationing there. They do use PAL there, but I think you should probably forget about using PAL.
    Here is my suggestion. Use your 4288X2848 image to create your sequence. Limit yourself to 24 frames per second and you will have a lot less work to do.
    I think you are being tricked into seeing something the wrong way. When I open one of my images in the Source Monitor, it is usually set to "Fit". Change it to 100%.
    When I have one of my images in the Program monitor, it is usually set to "Fit". Change it to 100%. Try this out. Pick a picture with something nice and sharp in the exact center of the image. Compare both monitors.
    Here is a shot of my screen doing that. There is a file size limit here on the forums so you are only seeing a small part of both monitors. I don't see any blurring. Do you?
    Edit: You are probably going to have to cut the frame size down to export it - for now. Just cut each number in half after upping the quality and setting the frames per second back to 24.. One of these days you may end up going back and exporting again - when Premiere Pro catches up and lets you export H.264 at that size.
    Hi,
    Well...
    I wrote in my previous post that I tried creating a sequence from my photo and I got the same blurry results.
    I used PAL because that is the tutorial I found.
    Would appreciate if any can say what are the settings I need in order to create a "slide show" movie.
    I don't mind resizing the images, 4288 x 2848 is too large anyhow, it is just the default output from my camera.
    I don't think I am "tricked" into seeing something that is not true. As I wrote, I get the same results after exporting the sequence and creating the clip video.
    Another anoing point is that I already did something similar in the past and it worked perfectly. not sure what is going wrong now =[
    Thanks for your time and efforts.

  • Still Image looks blurry when zoomed

    Hello, I am using FCP 5 and I noticed that when I zoom in on a picture, even if it's resolution is much larger than 720 x 480, the picture seems blurry. I tried de-interlacing, however it still remains blurry. In the viewer it seems fine, however once I put it into the Timeline to be viewed in the Canvas, it looses it's clarity when zoomed. Any suggestions?

    Mark,
    Is the project you are working with one that was originally created in an older version of FCP (like 4.5) then upgraded to 5? If so, you might want to try changing your render setting from normal to linear. If that does not do the trick, I would recommend setting up an external monitor. Judge by that- not the canvas.

  • RAW images are "locked"when imported into LR

    I just got a new camera (Sony alpha 6000) and all my RAW images that I attempt to import into LR 4.4 are "locked" and therefore, cannot be imported.
    When I click on the photo in my HD file and look at the "Get Info" the photo is not "locked". 
    Can't find any setting on my camera that shows the photo as "locked".  Anyone know if this is a LR problem or a Sony problem?
    I have a Nikon D40 that has no problem uploading RAW images to my LR 4.4.
    Thanks for any help!!

    Sony Alpha 6000 raw files require at least Lightroom 5.4.
    You would need to upgrade Lightroom, or use the free Adobe DNG converter version 8.6 to convert your RAWs to DNG and then import those into Lightroom.

  • When i import my pictures into lightroom, they are blurry,  when i click develop they automatically

    when i import my pictures into lightroom, they are blurry,  when i click develop they automatically focus, but when i click library, they blur again...  i use canon and jpeg, why is this and how do i fix it?

    Yes,   in library ive zoomed into 1:1 and the image is nice and sharp, but when i zoomed out, the sharpness disapears and the image is blurry again.  I see a lot of people are having this problem. I also called adobe and talked to someone and they had no idea whats going on,

  • Still images are distorted

    Having a frustrating problem... importing still images into FCE 4 and they are being distorted - the image appears to be stretched horizontally. The still images are set up as follows:
    Frame Size: 1920 x 1080
    Compressor: PNG
    Pixel Aspect: HD (1440 x 1080)
    Easy Setup:
    Format: Apple Intermediate Codec
    Use: HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60
    Frustrating part is that some of the photos work fine and others do not - despite that they are all set up the same way. Any suggestions?

    Tried the square pixel setting, still distorts.
    One thing I should mention, it displays fine if I do not add any motion effects. But when I do add a motion effect, the image becomes stretched (and stretching the image is not something I am trying to do). I checked all the settings that I know of and can't find any difference between the photos that work fine and those that do not. However, this is the first video I am creating with FCE 4 so I am suspecting I am overlooking something...

  • Why are my images created in Photshop cs6 blurry when insterted into Premiere Pro

    I create beuatiful still images in photoshop CS 6  to use in my videos.  They are high resoultion raw files that are reized to 16x9 ratio.  Once I put them into Premiere Pro they are still fine.  When I place them in my timeline and press play on my sequence they instally become blurry.
    Please advise?

    There could be a few things at play here.  But if, as you say, your images go blurry only when you press play, you might take a look at your playback resolution settings.  I'm not sure how the most current release works (I haven't installed it due to the several new bugs posted here), however in recent versions there is a separate quality setting for the program monitor when the video is stopped vs. when it is playing back.

  • Images imported into Pages are blurry when sent as PDF

    Just got Pages and am trying to produce my first newsletter. Using a template, I dragged some images over an existing image in the template. I also added some images on my own and used the masking tool to crop them. Pics varied in size from 1200x1600 to 3264x2448. They looked good in Pages, but when I used the Send via Mail as PDF function, all of the images appeared blurry in the PDF.
    Can someone tell me what I did wrong and how I can get clear pics in my newsletter?
    Thanks.

    Pages '09 v4.2. and 10.8.2.
    I just selected the Fashion newsletter, then dropped a 1920x1200x72dpi sRGB image onto the woman's image. It automatically resized to fit the frame. Saved the Pages document. Then, used the Send via Mail as PDF option.
    In Mail, I selected the PDF, and then tapped the spacebar to bring the PDF page up in QuickLook. I then dragged this adjacent to the open Pages document and could not detect (at 72 dpi) any visual differences in color or resolution.
    From QuickLook, you can view the PDF in the default PDF application. Does it still resolve differently in Preview or Acrobat Reader?
    I think it was mentioned here in the Pages community earlier that Pages and Preview use different OS X imaging libraries than Mail. Anyone care to comment?

  • My images look blurry when I export or publish my site from Muse. Why and how do I fix it?

    My images look blurry, jagged, pixelated and low quality when I publish or export my site from Muse. Is there any way to avoid or fix this problem?

    The primary cause of blurring images is the less than Photoshop-quality image downsampling algorithm currently used in Muse (that was compounded in early betas due to a bug in the JPEG compression library we were using at that time). Due to work we've done for Beta 7 to improve image encoding performance we now have the infrastructure in place to enable us to take a much better image resampler/resizer (after Beta 7), so this source of blurring will be addressed.
    The other source of blurring is unique to opaque images containing line art or otherwise containing hard edges and large areas of solid color. When an image is opaque Muse will encode it as JPEG (if it's altered in Muse is a way that requires re-encoding). For line art this will introduce JPEG compression artifacts that can be noticeable depending on your eye and the specific image involved.
    There are (at least) to ways to avoid these JPEG compression artifacts:
    Resize your image before placing and avoid applying any effects (rounded corners, drop shadow, etc.) or doing any cropping or resizing in Muse. If the image is unaltered your original JPEG, PNG or GIF will be passed through unaltered.*
    Put at least one pixel of transparency in your original image. (It could be a single 99% opaque pixel.) This will force Muse to encode as PNG. PNG compression is lossless and thus doesn't introduce any compression artifacts. However, an average PNG can be 5 times the size of a JPEG for the same image, so there is an impact to webpage download performance.
    *For PSD files Muse has to encode the original PSD data into some web-friendly image format. If an image is resized in Photoshop and placed Muse won't resize/resample the image data, but it will encode it as JPEG or PNG depending on whether it contains transparency.

  • OSX Lion jpeg 'preview' images are blurry after altering them

    When i edit a photograph in photoshop (cs3/cs4 etc, it doesnt matter which version) the preview of that image goes blurry after its saved. The image is the full res still and hasnt lost any quality but when i have the icons that are of a large size they appear really blurry and 'low-res'
    I know its a small gripe but it makes things difficult as a photographer when im trying to organise images that perhaps look similar or i want to see as a whole set.

    Hello, sorry, I don't know the cure for this, but as a photographer you might have a look at Tr-Catalog, where you can choose the size thumbnail/icon/detail...
