Still images blur on playback

hello all:
I am using Final Cut HD and I am having problems with jpgs and PSD files blurring on playback. they look fine as still... but when I press the space bar to playback they blur horribly.
I didn't used to have this problem.
A recent change to my set up is that I replaced my old, big Viewsonic computer monitor with a new Mac Cinema HD display.
Do I have to alter any of the settings?
As usual a deadline looms.
So any advice or offers of drinks would be welcome.
Thanks
Adrian S

I am not using an external monitor... as the images will playback as a desktop presentation. So if they are bluring now... won't they also blur in the final presntation when to DVD ()It will be distributed as an educational project).
As I mentioned this is a new problem... i didn't used to see such a degradation of image on the computer monitor.

  • Still images blurred

    Why are all my still images blurred?
    I am new to video editing.
    I set up CS3PP to default Pal and placed the images on the time line and set to 'scale to frame" size.
    I can see that the images have lost their quality in the Program Monitor screen but the images are clear in the Source Monitor screen
    I viewed the images in Windows Media Player and they're blurred.
    I made a test CD and the images are blurred on the TV "standard pal TV".

    If your source images have a significantly greater frame size than your PAL project, then considerable loss of quality is inevitable when you convert to video. Interlacing further reduces the vertical resolution for DVD video.
    That's the price you pay for using video to show stills. Maybe you should consider an alternative way to publish your stills if you want to retain quality. For example, a program like Irfan View (or one of the many others) that offer a slide show of full-resolution images on a computer screen.

  • Why can't I see still images in the playback monitor when editing a video?

    Why can't I see still images in the playback monitor when editing a video? I have rendered the images in the project.  I checked my system to make sure it meets all the requirements for the software, no problem there.  When I "share" the project and save it as an MPEG, the images show up in WMP just fine.  But I need to be able to see what I'm doing to the stills while I am editing.  Help!

    But, the key is missing...what version of Premiere Elements are you using? Are you using Premiere Elements 10?
    I hope not in this case, but if you are, we will tell you what needs to be done. The following is a copy/paste of the Announcement
    at the top of this forum about the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue.
    Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing
    Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling
    back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
    Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow
    glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies
    to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of
    the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere
    Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
    Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports

  • Still images blurred when playing

    I am editing a sequence of still images in FCE. The images are sharp when playhead is stopped, but show a slight blur when playhead is moving...what's causing this? How do you eliminate. The color of render line is green, btw. (i.e. doesn't need rendering).

    You know...my husband and I are doing this on an 5-yr-old machine. Once we rendered it looked weird at first, then resolved itself. The exported stuff looks fine to me...so I'm not going to obsess on this. Thanks...

  • Still images show as blurred unless movie is paused

    I have imported some still images into FCPX, and when viewed in the event browser or in the movie in the timeline they look fine while the movie is paused. But as soon as I start playback, they go a bit blurred. I have tried .psd and .png.
    Can anyone help please?

    Thanks.
    The project is 1920 x 1080 29.97 All files are Optimized.
    I have tried .psd. 24 bit png and maximum quality jpg. I've even tried using a movie of the still image using Screensnapzpro. The same thing. Looks great until the timeling starts to move.
    I'm using photoshop, can I use that to prepare them for video output? I've even tried rendering the image from photoshop to video, but Final Cut won't import that.
    I have uploaded a screenshot of what's happening:

    You can see what happens when the timeline starts at about 3 seconds, then stops again:

  • TS4436 hi, when zooming in to capture still images, the image is really blurred and out of focus. is this a hardware issue and is there any solution for this?? or is my device faulty?

    If you are using the iPhone camera zoom then remember that this is a digital zoom not an optical zoom. The zoomed in area will have fewer pixels and not appear as clear. The more you zoom the worse it gets. It's like cropping a picture after it has been taken.

  • Still image jpg w/ motion is chopy during playback

    Greetings,
    In FCE4 I have added a few still images which are approximately 500kb in size to a sequence.  Motion has been applied to the stills, basically zooming out slowly in a Ken Burns way.  During playback the motion is smooth when viewed in the Viewer but is chopy when viewed in the Canvas.  What can be done to make the still image motion smooth in the Canvas?
    Thanks, Scott

    Make sure the Sequence is rendered fully.

  • "Stuttering" when panning/zooming a still image...?

    Hello.
    I'm working on a small project which is basically a series of zooms/pans on still images. The pans/zooms are quite slow and take place over about 6-8 seconds. There's nothing too fancy going on here, but I notice that when I do a RAM preview or render out a comp, I get small "stutters" in some of them. Does anyone have any ideas why this would be happening and any suggestions on making these animations a little more "smooth". I mean, these things aren't complex at all, and overall they're quite smooth, but there's still times when I get these stutters and I can't figure out why they'd be happening? Would appreciate some advice!
    Thanks,
    Kristin.

    There are certain speeds that sync up with frame rates so that they cause judders, jitters, stuttering or whatever you want to call it. The slower the frame rate the more obvious the problem.
    If you've ever watched a western on TV or at the movies you've seen the stagecoach wheels turn backwards at various speeds. This is an example of the problem. It's actually called a stroboscopic effect. Mechanics, in the good old days when cars had carburetors and distributors, used to hook up a timing light to the #1 spark plug so that a light flashed on a timing mark on the crankshaft pulley. This light had the effect of stopping the rotation visually. That's exactly what's happening when you are moving your photograph across the frame at one of the critical speeds. Your eye is fooled and your brain can't process the movement smoothly.
    There are also other cases where the sub pixel interpolation between frames causes areas of detail to flicker between frames. The latter problem can be seen by viewing your comp a frame at a time while zoomed in to say 800% and observing the edge detail. This problem can be especially nasty when you're trying to do a smooth title or credit roll. The horizontal lines that make up fine type can almost completely vanish between fields or frames if the text is moving at the wrong speed. You can test this out by creating a single pixel high horizontal line in AE and animating it from bottom to top of the frame. The only speed where you'll get a nice solid line in every frame or field is one that is an exact multiple of the frame rate. IOW, 1 frame 1 pixel of movement, 1 frame 2 pixels of movement, and so on. Move at 1 frame and 1.33 pixels of movement and the line will appear to completely disappear then return.
    If you are working at 24fps progressive you'll find that the juddering caused by motion at critical speeds is much more problematic than projects at 29.97 fps. Interlacing, as was mentioned before, helps and gives you a wider range of motion, but interlacing can introduce more pronounced flickering in the detail if you are right at one of these critical speeds.
    This problem extends to shooting as well. Cinematography manuals contain critical panning speed charts that list the number of degrees per second you can pan with various lens (angle of view) and shutter speed combinations. There isn't a videographer out there that's tried shooting 24P video and not ended up with an unusable pan due to these critical speeds.
    The solution to successfully animating detailed images is to use the right speed (pixels per second) for your frame rate, add extra motion blur to hide the problem, or reduce the amount of detail in the image. These are the only solutions that I know of. They all limit design and timing, but what good is your design if it makes your eyes go buggy.
    The best way I know if to tell if the problem is a playback issue is to use a device or program that tells you when you're dropping frames. You can use QT (by looking at the playback rate) or in FC or PPro by having the program report dropped frames. If it's a data rate issue you need more horsepower or a better codec. 

  • Sharpening Still images

    I've heard that still images should not be sharpened before importing to FC as they tend to pixelate and will 'shake" during TV playback. Question: If I start with RAW file, bring in as a Tiff, should I sharpen just a little (e.g. a minimal amount in detail section in Lightroom (say 20 or even 15) , or 80% with .5 radius in Photoshop -- or not at all? Can someone be specific about this? How bad is this "flicker" thing? Is it visible on the WEb too?

    The flickering is an artifact of the two field structure of interlaced video. It is a result of very thin (often horizontal) elements that exist on one scanline as is common in text or titling. This can also be the case in images with great deal of detail with high contrast as well as when when you are engaged in pan/zoom moves. (Sharpening can make this WORSE as what sharpening is doing is creating higher contrast between adjacent pixels to create the impression of edge detail.)
    As the alternate fields play, the flashing element is essentially being turned on/off. The basic strategy is to get the element to exist over two scanlines so it is refreshed every time the field plays or to reduce the amount of contrast so the difference between ON and OFF is not noticeable.
    Before you start any of these steps listed below, make sure you are viewing your material on an appropriate monitor. If you are working in an NTSC/PAL interlaced format (eg DV) you need an external TV monitor - not a computer screen. Without the appropriate device, you are playing blind.
    Things to try (In increasing order of image degradation)
    • (in FCP) field order>none
    • (in FCP or Photoshop) reduce whites by 10% - reduces overly bright areas
    • (in FCP) flicker filter - minimum
    • (in Photoshop) motion blur>vertical> .2 - .5 pixels - blurs vertically only
    • (In FCP or Photoshop) Gaussian blur> .2 - .5 pixels -blurs both horizontally as well as vertically
    • (in FCP or Photoshop) deinterlace - throws away half the image and is generally not appropriate on scanned images
    One tip when using blurs - if the problem does not involve the whole image, try using a mask to limit the effect to just the necessary area. This will keep you from softening the whole image.
    Remember: Unless you are viewing your work in the appropriate external NTSC/PAL monitor, you are playing blind. The computer monitor only shows you a proxy image.
    One final thought, if you have only used FCP to slow (retime) your video significantly, you may be simply duplicating frames to create the additional material to pad the playback. The flashing (strobe like effect) you see is the result of this. In that case, try using Motion or Shake's optical flow retiming to process the image. It will produce better quality product.
    good luck.

  • Render flashing over Still images in HDV

    I was given this project to rescue, the biggest problem is it is full of still images with moves/keyframes and full of subtitles. The images are all JPEGS, of varying sizes and resolutions, some of them are still in grayscale mode. These problems mainly show up on the interlaced HDTV monitor, on the RGB monitor the images suddenly dip 50% in brightness, and flicker slightly.
    The flicker filter on MAX and a gaussian blur will not fix this. the only thing that seems to work is converting all these images to TIFFs and re-doing all the moves which in Final Cut is a nightmare. Here is a link, the full visual dissonance problems are washed out by this camera.
    http://www.vimeo.com/5590809
    What would be a life saver is finding a way not having to convert all these JPEGs to TIFFs.
    Moving keyframes, changing opacity, etc does nothing to improve the render flickering.

    The flickering is an artifact of the interlaced nature of video. It is a result of very thin (often horizontal) elements that exist on one scanline as is common in text or titling. This can also be the case in images with great deal of detail with high contrast as well as when when you are engaged in pan/zoom moves on stills.

  • Using still images with Final Cut (and the apple suite in general)

    I have had a re-occuring and long term problem that has caused me many lost hours of head scratching and work arounds, and as of yet I have not been able to come up with a good solution.
    Its to do with integrating still images with the Final Cut suite.
    If I receive a high quality image from a client to use in their video and I then try importing it into Final Cut and animating it, it always ends up looking like a pile of ahem. Often I will get "swimming" lines appear across fine detail on the image, and parts of it will flicker as it moves across the screen. For instance, if I have a picture of some blinds or other fine detail (especially horizontal and vertical lines), when I add a grow and throw movement to it the detail will become very noisy - buzzing and flickering like mad.
    I have found I can counter this by resizing the image in photoshop to a resolution closer to SD video (700w or 500h) - but I always end up losing detail, and the flickering and noise is only reduced, not eliminated. Other things that have helped are blur effects applied at a very low level, like 0.5 blur, so its not noticeable visually, but Final Cut seems to treat it differently and quieten the noise and flicker down.
    However, all of these workarounds are ultimately still giving a reduced quality product.
    Also, this problem is not necessarily constrained to Final Cut, I am currently fighting DVD Studio Pro because it is murdering the text quality in a stills slideshow I am creating - and in this situation there is no animation being applied. No matter what file type (psd, jpeg, tiff, png...) or size I output the text and images from Photoshop in, the moment DVD studio pro gets hold of it, it turns to cripe.
    For a while I was putting it down to the fact that I usually edit in SD (PAL) formats, and there just wasn't the resolution available to reproduce fine detail. However, I do often see other people achieving pin-sharp fine detail on still images and text in SD formats (the Apple templates are a good example)
    So, my question to you, oh great and high boffins, if you are dealing with still images and text, how do you do it? How do you work around any noise problems you have, and how do you produce those pin-sharp images (both moving and still) I see in other professional productions?
    Quad G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    still images with too high a resolution will always cause problems. this is due to the detail of the image being finer than the scanline of the tv can display ... obviously this will caise the image to flicker as these details alternately appear and disappear as and when the scanline can display them. as you have discovered, the answer is to apply a very small blur, the effect being that the detail is spread by the blur such that the scanline can dislay it correctly.
    text issues are often rooted in the same problem ... unless the text is placed very carefully (whole even number on the y axis) then the quality may be impaired due to the resulting interlacing/scanline issues

  • Shaky still images in burned iMovie/iDVD project

    Hello all, I've stopped by the discussion forums in the past for quick fixes to problems when they come up, this is my first post though that doesn't seem to address anything I've found on here...
    I am working on a project that takes scanned pictures from regular print photos into iMovie 6 and then burned into iDVD 6. I have done this similar style of work several times and never run into this problem. The project looks fine in both iMovie and iDVD preview, and burns fine to disc. As soon as it is popped into a DVD player, some of the still images flash and shake around, it appears to happen on the same images every time.
    The original project used about 100 photos, around 12 minutes of movie time. It uses only still pictures and there are cross dissolve transitions between each one. I have tried dragging and dropping the iMovie project into iDVD instead of using 'share'. I also saved as a disk image and burned slowly (4x) not only on my SuperDrive but on an external LaCie drive. I've even started a brand new project file, imported the pictures again from iPhoto and everything... still no luck. I've done about 5 trials now with these different settings, no luck. I use Verbatim DVD-r disks as well...
    I've even tried scanning a few images and replacing them, thinking the file might be corrupted, but this isn't fixing the problem. Is there some setting that I'm missing or any other suggestions you have?
    I'm trying to save a trip down to see a genius, but if I can't get any help I'll have no choice but to make the 3 hour drive to the nearest apple store. Hopefully someone has some suggestions! Thanks!

    Hi
    A. I don't use the *Share/Export to iDVD* function in iMovie. iMovie rendering can harm
    the photos in a movie.
    I do: close iMovie, Open iDVD and import the movie project here (icon with a Star on it)
    or just drop the icon into iDVD.
    B. Some photos with thin lines most often starts to flicker when viewed on a TV.
    I do: In a photo editing program eg PhotoShop or Elements: Apply *Gausian blurr*.
    Just slightly. Resulting in non-flickering photos.
    C. One can rather easily find out if this will occure by:
    • Connect Your miniDV (tape) Camera via FireWire.
    • Analog out of Camera to a TV-set
    • Set in iMovie. Playback via Camera
    Now You see on the TV what the final Quality will be like.
    • Flicker (add Gausian Blurr to those photos)
    • Color, brightness & contrast
    • Over all playback rythm and sound

  • Still Image On FireWire Export ...

    Hello All,
    FCP 7.0.2
    Sony Z7
    Firewire Cable
    Every import/export has been working perfectly until today. I have not knowingly adjusted any settings within FCP - it works, why should I?
    So, I am editing in DV (PAL 4:3) and once finished, I connect the Z7 by the Firewire Cable, make sure that my Easy Settings are DV > DV Firewire Basic, that I have a 4:3 image on the Z7 flip-out monitor, that the sound comes out of the Z7 internal speaker and away I go.
    Today, for a reason best known to itself, on playback I have a 'drop frame' warning and, just to add insult to injury, the image on the Z7 it a still frame but the audio comes through nicely (the image moves on the Canvas window of FCP).
    I reduced my playback setting and, took a look at the Codec I was using. For some reason it was set to H.264, when I normally have it on Apple ProRes 422 (HQ).
    I selected the usual Codec and rendered.
    Nothing has improved - there is a still image on the Z7 but the audio comes through OK.
    Yes, I have refreshed the A/V Device and the output is "All Frames".
    Any help would be gratefully received!

    If you are outputting to DV then all your ProRes nonsense counts for nothing, nada, zilch, because at then end you are wholly discarding when you export as DV.
    At the moment you are simply over taxing your system unnesserily by forcing it to perform a double conversion ... ie realtime conversion from the source DV PAL codec to the sequence ProRes codec then immediately to reconvert from the sequence ProRes codec to the DV PAL Video Playback codec.
    Regardless of you earlier workflows, you might as well get back to basics. Set your sequence to a standard DV PAL preset and your Video Playback to Apple Firewire ... all will be well again.
    Hope that helps

  • Still images exported to DVD look deinterlaced and flicker on TV monitor

    Hi,
    I have tried tried almost everything and I still have issues with the still images exported to DVD as sequencefrom FCP 7.0 by using Compressor are deinterlaced and flicker on TV monitor. Please help remove the annoying flicker.
    My FCP Timeline Sequence settings match the image resolution:
    Frame Size: 1024 x 682 (double of 720 x 480 standard DVD res)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square
    Field Dominance: None
    Compressor: Photo JPG (also tried, DVCPRO-NTSC)
    I cropped the original images in Photoshop to the 1024 x 682 and saved as tiffs. They still look deinterlaced in FCP timeline and exported to DVD on my iMac computer monitor.
    Final output of DVD will be on this monitor:
    Specifications:
    Ikegami
    Model: VCM-2101
    Resolution: 450 TV Lines (Horizontal)
    Should I crop the images to 450 horizontal pixels or the double of that 900?
    How can I match the sequence or the images settings to avoid the flicker and deinterlaced look on that monitor? I am not able to test the image by having the monitor next to computer.
    Compressor:
    I used custom DVD settings in Compressor for 90 min best quality DVD. Tried the Porgressive and "Same as Source" in Output field.
    In "Crop to" and "Padding" I set for preserve source aspect ratio and letterbox area of source.
    I followed the advices from below and I still did not resolve the problem. Please is there anythign else I can try?
    Thanks a lot..

    Dear Russ,
    Thank you very much. Yes, there is something else in the sequence, old documentary, 768 x 570 (no field dominance, 25fps, Apple ProRes 422) but the images are more imporant.
    make a progressive sequence with  square pixels. (I am partial to 720P, 1080 should work – or 540). Choose Pro Res 422
    Do you mean that I should make a sequence in FCP with these settings? If yes, how can I set a "progressive" sequence? I dont see a setting for output field in FCP sequence settings, lnly in customizing Compressor output DVD format.
    Also: "720P, 1080 should work – or 540" are you talking about Frame size? If so, to set in Compressor or in FCP?
    If you have interlaced material, then de-interlace before you bring it in. If you don't have interlaced clips, don't de-interlace.
    The images are not interlaced after  I crop them, apply motion blur filter in Photoshop but look interlaced in FCP timeline after I import them and even to the same as photos sequence in FCP timeline.
    Please help and thank you for your comments.
