Still Images Rippling After Export

I'm exporting a 1920x1080 video from FCP. Everything looks great on the final export, except three images ripple badly while in motion. This doesn't happen on the timeline. Plus, other images come out just fine. So the issue seems inconsistent.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

sounds like it could be a moire issue which is usually caused by fine lines in an interlaced sequence.
Is your sequence interlaced? In sequence settings (make the timeline active and hit command-zero) set field dominance to none. this may reduce the quality of the other material in your sequence if it is interlaced. One solution is to prebuild the problem sections in their own progressive (non interlaced) sequence with the same pixel dimensions as your original sequence and export and then edit this quicktime in to your original sequence.

Help! Ideas for displaying ~100-300 still images with After Effects / Premiere Pro

Hi, I am a cadet at a US Air Force detachment and am responsible for making this semester's end of the year video.
I have the Adobe creative cloud and am familiar with the basics of Photoshop, and Premiere Pro, and I am trying to also learn After Effects. I have a large amount of picture and video, and am at a loss for how to quickly make all these pictures into an interesting slideshow. Software such as Cyberlink Powerdirector had a "photo grid" which would allow me to create an automatic slideshow of images on a 3x3 grid, where each image flashed into place one at a time. I am looking for automated processes or tutorials to feed my images into and have a modern effect of displaying the images.
If anyone has any idea for a template or where to start on handling a large amount of still images in After Effects or Premiere Pro, I could definitely use a point in the right direction!
Exactly what I want can be found at 5:27 of this video: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10150247563700519&set=vb.120583801339638&type=2&theat er

Still Image distortion and washed out image quality after exporting

Hi,
I am a relatively new Final Cut Studio 2 user I've taken a few classes and I know the basics and a little beyond. So far my projects have been coming out well until I started having to add still images to my projects. When I add these images I size down in Photoshop CS3 appropriately, usually they are really large tiffs or standard jpegs. Then when I import them into Final Cut I size them one more time to match the wire frame. When I play the movie I created in Final Cut it looks great but after I export it using compressor I either get a pixilated type of image distortion or the images are washed out, but its usually only on certain images not all images in the project are affected. My projects usually end up embedded on our website or up on youtube or bliptv, so I have been bouncing between the H.264 300Kbps for medium bandwidth streaming and H.264 800 Kbps for high bandwidth. Would someone be able to tell me if there is a better codec I should use for the web that would get rid of these problems that I am having or do I need to size my images in a different way? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
The Louse~

Images deleted after export (Aperture 3.4)

Exported my newly imported images using the Export Originals function in Aperture. After that, all exported images were gone from the file system (previews still showing in Aperture but the refernced files are gone, also not in the Trash, but "fully gone").

One more question - I forgot: What is your current Aperture version? Have you upgraded to Aperture 3.4? Then you may need to reinstall Aperture - see this support article:
Aperture 3.4: May quit unexpectedly on launch after updating
Not to mention that Aperture crashed in the meantime, then claimed the library is locked, I had to reboot and then to wait 30 mins for the library to be fixed as it was corrupted...
After a crash Aperture will repair the library, but it may be necessary to rebuild it is well, see: Aperture 3 User Manual: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library
Looked for the images with Spotlight
Did you search the entire mac from the Finder?
In the Finder, choose File > Find or press Command (⌘)-F.

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
Andy

Still Images degrade when exporting

Hi. I am making an audio slide show with IMovie 09, using only still images shot with a Canon 5D. The images I import to Imovie have a very high resolutition and file size(300 dpi and about 5MB compressed), yet when I export the final project, the images are degraded. I can not find anything in preferences or in the help section about why this would be happening. Any thoughts?

How did you perform the export?
I was able to get a pretty good image export by exporting to Quicktime, making a 1440x1080 (my work is 4:3) H264 file at whatever the best quality settings were, audio to big endian 48 kHz, 16 bit.
The share-to-media-browser menu option also makes an H264 file, but I believe the quality setting is lowered and in my case I could only get "Large", which was half the resolution of the settings above.

Image Stitches after exporting to PDF

Hi guys,
I have exported PDF documents from InDesign in virtually all standards and option configurations. The output would sometimes look good but upon closer inspection white lines would appear across images; these images are divided into (seemingly) random sections.
I have done some research and this seems to be a problem with the transparency flattener. Having used all standards (PDF 1.3 through PDF 1.7) this cannot be the problem. All standards starting 1.4 do not use the transparency flattener as far as I know. Also, most pages of the document do not use transparency, shadow, blending modes or any effects for that matter. The problem occurs with even the smallest and simplest images.
The InDesign documents I export are in fact 11X17 tabloid versions of different 4-page brochures. I created a tabloid-sized page and imported each of the 4 pages to the tabloid page. The problem occurs only when exporting these tabloid documents to PDF. The original imported InDesign documents do not have that problem - I made sure.
At first, the problem seemed to be with importing InDesign documents, but this isn't so. I exported the original InDesign documents to EPS and imported those to the Tabloid page - the same thing happens.
I have spent hours trying to figure this out and eventually gave up and printed everything with the lines. By disabling anti-aliasing I could get rid of the lines on-screen. I haven't tried but don't think it'd do anything in print.
Can anyone recommend a solution or at least an idea? I'm willing to try anything as this is happening with every 11X17 tabloid brochure that I create. At the moment the only thing I can think of is copying and pasting the original content to the 11X17 tabloid document, but this would be time consuming and impractical, especially when master pages exist - and this is also assuming that the problem really is with placing InDesign/EPS documents.
Thank you,
Tom.

You say the flattener isn't active, but eps doesn't support transparency so those pages got flattened before you placed them.
As Mike is alluding, there was a bug in the first release of CS3 that sometimes caused stitching in placed ID files, so the problem may well be at import, rather than export.

Why does "Â" show up in image title after export?

This drives me nuts. When exporting files, the title changes on my images. The character "Â" appears within the title of my image. It's doesn't appear when I look under Library>Metadata. So everytime I use the exported files on my blog, I need to go in and change the name to a whole gallery of images.
Please help.

LR/Mogrify - been using it since LR came out for years without issue and now lately using LR3, I get that character.
I would try disabling LR/Mogrify just to see if it's in the game. Are you aware of the fact you need LR/Mogrify 2 on LR3?

Small image size after exporting

Hello,
When I export an image with dimesions of 4214x3371, the image size will show as 1.124x1.405''. This is a problem because I am trying to print my images on a 16x20'' canvas. My resolution is set at 3000ppi and I am exporting RAW files to an uncompressed TIFF file with my color space being ProPhoto RGB.
Any input would be appreciated, this is quite frusterating.

Let's see ... 4214 pixels divided by 3000 pixels per inch is um ... wait where's my calculator ... 1.405 inches!
of course, the whole calculation is meaningless, it has no effect on what gets printed
If you send a picture that is 4214x3371 pixels to be printed at 16x20 ... you ought to get decent prints at about 211 pixels per inch (where did that come from? 4214/20 inches is about 211 pixels per inch)
So, basically, you have enough pixels to do the print. The resolution number in the file is truly meaningless here, if you ignore it and do the math the way I did, you find out you are fine. If you try to interpret this meaningless number, well, you get misled seriously.

Images gone after exporting to DVD

Wow, was this ever a surprise. I exported images by selecting individual albums to a DVD for Back up. Now I have all the images on DVD but they are totally gone from iPHoto, including the library. So now I don't have the originals, or at least access to them. What the heck happened? That's crazy. Exporting has always sent a copy of the edited image not the whole shabang. Any way of getting them back and linked up with the originals?

As you have probably deduced by not, that ain't the way it's supposed to work. Using the Share->Burn menu option will produce a disk that's an iPhoto formated disk. You can mount the disk and then open iPhoto. The disk will show in the Source pane directly under the Library icon like this. You can drag that disk icon onto the Library icon and copy back all of those photo, any albums they are associated with, keywords, etc.

"Unsupported image format" after exporting original RAW file

My library has been working fine (albeit slow - it is very large). Today I exported a photo that I have edited and played around with many times in the past. I inadvertantly exported the Original, and I got an error message (which I don't recall what it said) but then immediately afterward, I could not view the image. I can't remember if I chose a duplicate version or the edited master to export (not sure why it would make a difference). Either way the photo did not export and it is now completely unviewable. I am trying to repair my library to see if that will help. If not I will try to reprocess my originals (I can't seem to find a way to just reprocess the one image so will have to run it for my entire library). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What is your Aperture 3 version?
The symptoms you are describing suggest, that Aperture has lost the connection between the edited version of the image and the original image file. This will typically result in being unable to export the originals or to edit.
As a test - what happens when you select the image in question and press the "M" key to toggle between original version and current version?
I see this, when the original file is missing:
Is your library referenced or managed?

Preview image missing after export

Using iPhoto 6.0.3.
I need to export the photos in my collection to JPEG for use on a PC.
I select a photo (or photos), then choose File > Export.
I use the File Export tab, then select the following options:
Format = JPG
Size = 320 x 240 (the original is 2560 x 1920)
Name = Use title
Use Extension = Checked
I then press Export.
I export to a shared folder on my PC across my network.
I use the resulting JPEG in Macromedia RoboHelp X5 on my PC.
As soon as I select the JPEG in RoboHelp, I cannot see the preview header image. RoboHelp compiles help system files into Java-driven HTML. When viewing the resulting HTML files, the images properly appear.
What does iPhoto do that doesn't allow it to carry the preview header image with it?
On my PC, if I open the JPEG in ImageReady then Save As Optimized, the preview header suddenly reappears.

You can use the extract all images tool to recover the images. If there are many images on multiple pages, extract the desired page first and then do the extract all images to get the desired image.

Why Are Stills/Graphics Shaking After Export in Premiere Pro?

Working with CS5.5, my exported video is showing the still-graphic with a weird shimmering effect. I need help resolving this issue ASAP.
Original video is AVCHD but the video seems to be OK. It's only the titling and and other graphics that do not contain motion.
Other details:
- The final output to the preset 1080p 29.97 HQ selection. Also tried the Youtube HD preset and same thing happened.
- Using Windows, ASUS machine
- No other boxes selected in the export window
- Some of the graphics were created in AE, but others were just text using the Premiere titling feature
I have seen this problem in the past on occasion with other computers and have never been able to understand the issue.
Please help. Thanks!

I don't know if this will help, but I would recommend using 1920 x 1080 with Square Pixels.

Is it possible to use markers to export still images at once?

I have a movie and I need to export about 30 still images. Can I just place markers at the frames where I want a still image to be exported and then export all the markers together at once thus resulting in 30 jpeg still images? If yes, how do you do that?

sure ....
if this is a sequence, then first, in the sequence, +select the clips you want to mark+ then scrub through the sequence placing markers at the appropriate points (because the clips are selected the markers will be placed within the clip instance rather than as sequence markers); second, drag the now marked clips back up from the sequence and into a bin in the browser window
if its not a sequence, then just open the clip into the viewer window and scrub through placing markers as needed
now, click on the disclosure triangle that appears to the left of these clips in the browser window's list view to display the contained markers as a list ... select all those markers and drag them into a new bin
you now have a bin full of subclips that each represent one of the markers you've placed
select this bin and choose File menu > Batch Export ... and in the subsequent window press the Settings button to set up the export format (as Still Image)
press the export button and you're done
fwiw it all sounds much more complicated than it is

Reassembling still image sequence

Hello All
My objective is to create a video image where a person is walking along and the background changes from one scene to another. I have used HD footage, exported still image sequence, cut the background out of each frame in photoshop, imported back into FCP then reassembled/exported in SD PAL to DVD.
This all works OK but I have trouble keeping the edges of the person (still images) clean after being cut out. Have used colour key and Matte Choker in FCP to soften edges which improves the result but could be better. I have tried green screen but still have the same problem of keeping the edges clean and consistent. The footage only goes for a few seconds.
My questions are:
1-is this workflow OK? any suggestions to improve on it?
2-should I be using another program to reassemble the footage?
3-exporting at 25 FPS then deinterlacing in Photoshop then importing back into FCP, is that OK in regards to creating a good final image.
Thanks for your assistance.
David

HDV would be an awful choice for keying (some just say it's an awful choice period).
To do what you want to do properly, you need to get a well lit greenscreen with your person walking in front of it and record it using an uncompressed format. FCP's keyer isn't bad, but there are a lot better. Keylight plugin in After Effects is one. Or Shake also has the KeyLight keyer...
