Text looks horrible and blocky when imported into DVD SP

Why is it that all my text looks terrible when I import it from Photoshop into DVD Studio Pro for a still menu? The font size is 20pt, and the text type is Franklin Gothic, a sans serif Helvetica variation that is extremely simple and basic. Why does it look so bad? Is it the layers? The field dominance? The pixel aspect ratio? I've asked around and many people simply say "dvd studio pro does that sometimes." What? That's not seriously the bottom line is it? What if I don't want to redesign my whole menu?
I posted an example of how the text looks...

Try this one...there isn't a solution, it is a confirmed bug in the software. Check out the thread above, I included an e-mail address and issue i.d. so you can write a message letting them know that I'm not the only one having this problem...
The same issue affects the normal way of creating slideshows as well as still menus. The workaround is to create a menu that loops at around :30. However, at the loop point the text will go jagged for a second while it loops back to the beginning. So, it's not a perfect workaround.

  • Photoshop cs6 images look dark and green when put into dropbox.

    I have just upgraded to PS CS6 and my images are looking dark and green when I upload them into dropbox to send to clients for review.
    A screenshot of my image looks perfect in dropbox but if I save it directly it looks terrible.

    sounds like you have Prophoto in the soup (and some color management issues, tagged vs untagged, color-managed vs not color-managed viewers)...

  • AAC audio file increase in size when imported into DVD Studio Pro

    Hello all!
    I just encountered a very unique issue with the DVD Studio Pro. I used the compressor to export my video as an MPEG2 file and my audio as AAC file. After the compression my audio file had an .mpg4 extention and was about 160MB in size. When I imported it into my DVD Studio Pro project, however, the audio increased in size to 1.2 GB. I tried so many different compressions, but the problem really is (I think) that the file bumps up in size once imported into DVD SP project. Is there anything in preferences that I need to adjust or change? Please help!
    Thank you.

    Hi
    I'm a little lost now with versions history, but if you have A.Pack in your App folder, then must use it. Check this tutorial: Encoding AC3 with A.Pack.
    Compressor 2 and 3 has AC3 encoding inside the main application.

  • My high resolution pictures got blurry and pixelet when imported into i-mov

    Hi
    I am trying to import bunch of high resolution pictures into I-Movie, when run the test, pictures all look very blurry and pixelet (lost pixel). I even disable the Ken Burn Effect inside the picture settings. Is there a way to keep the same quality of those picture when put into the movie timeline?
    Thanks

    SD video is just 1/3 megapixel. Importing a multi-megapixel image into iMovie turns it into a 1/3 megapixel image (or if you use Ken Burn: a 1/3 megapixel video).
    Fear not. When you burn a DVD it will look just fine.
    IMPORTANT: When sending to iDVD from iMovie, iMovie may tell you that some stills are not rendered. Do NOT let iMovie render them. iDVD will do a much better job rendering them.

  • Screen Capture Video Loses Quality When Imported Into iMovie - WHY?

    I am using screen capture software to make a video of my screen at 1024x768. The video is for a tutorial. I want to use iMove to get things like transitions and such into the movie, and to add text and audio. The problem is that, although the video looks great in QuickTime, it loses quality significanly when I import into iMove. The text on the screen is blurry, and the quality of everything else is terrible as well.
    Is this s limitation of iMove? Can screen capture video be imported? Does it only work with DV?
    Also, I tried to convert the file to many other formats, from QuickTime to MPEG-4, so it's not the file type.
    If anyone can help me out, I've be very grateful.
    Thanks!

    Your dimensions are getting in the way. iMovie converts your 1024X768 to a DV Stream file that is 720X480.
    One workaround would be to set your display resolution smaller. Try 800X600 (if your windows fit that size).
    If you're using Snapz Pro you should set your window capture to 640X480. This size will import nicely into iMovie.
    An even better way would be to do all of the work using QuickTime Pro. Again a 1024X768 QT.mov file would not fit on the most common display settings used. When you add the QT Player window the controller would be below the screen and not accessible for most users.
    800X600 would make a better file (smaller, too). It would still be 4:3 aspect and would also import into iMovie.

  • Imported ID pdfs appearance alters when imported into Quark as picture

    Can anyone tell me why Indesign created pdf's change when imported into a quark picture box? I receive ads from various companies for a magazine in hi-rez pdf formats and when imported the appearance changes to include all the components/elements/boxes/etc. of the make-up of the ad....the things that are not supposed to be seen. Please help... advertisers are complaining and i can not stop it, or fix it.

    Quark converts PDFs to EPS internally and thus has no support for the
    more advanced features of PDFs exported from InDesign.
    You should request EPS or PDF X/1-a if you want to continue to use
    Quark. That said, this is an InDesign forum so I will heartily recommend
    you switch to InDesign.
    As you've discovered more and more folks are doing just that and you're
    going to be left in the dust and those advertisers are going to be
    looking elsewhere to spend their money.

  • Help! Photoshop edited jpg color distorts when imported into Muse

    Okay, so I am trying to build a photography webpage (among others) and I edit most of my photos in photoshop. All photos that I edit in photoshop and save to jpg, look great when printed, uploaded to facebook, etc. however when I import them into Adobe Muse for and put them on my webpage, the colors of the photos become desaturated and/or slightly distorted (so that they look dull). When I edit images in lightroom and save them as jpg and import them into Muse, they look fine, but colors edited in photoshop seem to mess up my photos when imported into Muse.
    What am I doing wrong?!
    Susan

    You are using some odd color management settings and not converting to sRGB most likely... Check your settings in PS itself and the Save for Web dialog and experiment around.

    I have searched everywhere and I can't find with my terms what im looking for..I figure if nothing is coming up then im going about this
    the wrong way 
    Any help would be muchly appreciated.

    Hi
    Slicing images from a photoshop comp and then creating a web page from them is never a good idea, and will present many compatibility problems for you. A better alternative is to use css based layouts, this does not mean that you must forget what you have done in photoshop just that the procedure is probably slightly more complex for someone who has not used css layouts before,
    A good place to start would be the css basics tutorial then the, using css starter pages tutorial from the tutorials shown on this page - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/css.html.
    (the 2 tutorials mentioned are - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/table_to_css_pt1.html, and http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/table_to_css_pt2.html.

  • What happens to CC or Watermarks when imported into PrPro

    HI all,
    my question (s) are about information that is stored in the out of tv safety feilds when imported into Adobe premeir pro. files will be mpeg-2 video files SD and Hd
    1) what happens to closed Captioning data (does it get moved or is it stripped)?
    2) what happens to Nielsen watermarks on line 22 and 20?
    Can anybody give me an understanding of this.
    thank you much!!

    Nothing happens to the music on your computer. Nothing will "combine" unless this other person actually downloads something to your computer. Simply logging into an iTunes account does not instigate any automatic downloads of anything.

  • How do I get audio back on single clip that loses audio when imported into Premiere Pro CC?

    I've got one clip out of many that for some reason won't play any audio when imported into Premiere Pro.  I am new to Premiere Pro so am hoping it's something stupid I've done, but this is a problem with just a single clip exported the same way as all my others, the original audio is loud (not quiet) and none of the FAQ issues seem to apply (ie I haven't muted the audio or anything stupid like that)
    The clip was exported from Plural Eyes into a "master" Premiere Pro project where the audio is fine. I exported it as a short MP4 clip and if I play the clip in Windows Media Player the audio is there loud and clear.
    But when I import the clip into a fresh Preimiere Pro CC project this clip appears with just the "film strip" icon on the far left in the Timeline panel, unlike other clips which have an icon that shows "film strip" in the background and "audio wave" in the foreground.
    I'm hitting so many glitches with the CC editions of Premiere Pro and After Effects which have annoying inconsistencies between them I'm tempted to just go back to Sony Vegas Pro (single program, no hassle) but hoping most of these issues are down to "newbie incompetence". Very hard to understand why this one clip out of many should be giving me this specific problem though. Any ideas?

    I'm getting so many weird results. Most go away by simply closing the project and re-opening and I only have 6GB memory but even so, I'm disappointed by what I thought was supposed to be more "world class" video editing software than Sony Vegas Pro which I found to be a lot more stable. Also struggling with differences between Premiere and After Effects. Every time I want to do something in Pro I seem to need to go to After Effects and vice-versa. After Effects lets me do more of what I could "just do" in Vegas Pro timeline, but it's hideous for lining up audio and having to render anything in RAM to even get a clue as to what a change has done.  Need to add Audition to the long list as well I suspect. Fun times!

  • How do I correct the darkest blacks from becoming bright blue when imported into LR?

    When shooting in RAW with a Sony RX100M3 the darkest blacks become bright blue when imported into LR. Any ideas when this happens and how I can fix it?

    If this is occurring in the develop module the you have the shadow warning turned on and this shows as blue, just like the highlights show as red. You can turn this off by clicking the triangle in the upper left hand corner of the histogram.

    Are you connected via wifi? If so, and it is an option, try connecting using a ethernet cable. It sometimes seems to help as it can give a more reliable connection for the 5.3gb download.
    If you do manage to download it you may want to make a copy of the installer file - which gets downloaded to the Applications folder - before running it as it self-deletes on successful installation. It may save you another monster download in the future.

  • Do I need to compress video before importing into DVD SP?

    Hello,
    this is probably stupid question, but I would like to know, if I need to compress my video before I import it into DVD SP as an asset. It looks like everyone use Compressor before importing into DVD SP, (setting up number of passes, bit rates and so on), and then they do it again when setting up preferences in DVD SP. (setting 1 pass or 2passes, bit rate values)
    So is not the video actually compressed twice? Once in Compressor and once in DVD SP?
    And also, what video formats are actually OK to import into DVD SP? (QT, AVI, FCP movie, etc)
    Does DVD SP take them all, or does it only have to be QT?
    Thank you and I appologize for these novice questions.

    m2v will not be recompressed when placed on tracks (though in some instances it may recompress on menus.) Ultimately it is better to compress outside of DVD SP for control of encodes (and making AC3 files) and also some formats may not be supported by importing into DVD SP directly.
