Titles not sharp

Does anyone know why I'm not getting a sharp black title
when putting it over a white matte. The text looks broken up and of poor
quality.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
D

Choosing san serif fonts helps especially if you're working in DV, and judging the quality in your Canvas window isn't showing you the actual quality of the image... should be viewing this externally on a video monitor, are you?
Also you'll find that DV titles may improve a ton if you simply raise them up or down a line, and you'll see this improvement externally on a video monitor.

Why are my titles not sharp?

After I made some ken burn effect to my pictures I exported it to high quality Quick time, for some reason the titles I added are not sharp and clear but blurred at the edges what could be the reason?
Also if I want to make a dvd video, what is the actual action I have to do, should I export it to iDVD to get a dvd quality?

Are you using QuickTime Player to play the high quality file you created? Is the file you created self-contained, or a reference file? Try clicking "Use high-quality video settings when available" in QuickTime Player's preferences.
Also, as for the DVD, I prefer to launch iDVD, create a new project, then drag the iMovie project icon (in the finder) to the iDVD project window (make sure you have quit iMovie first).

Titles not sharp in Qicktime version

My titles on the time line are sharp but in the quicktime version are unsharp. Any idea?

Be sure you have best quality activated in the QT Player. QT Preferences, it's the third down from the top, "Use high-quality video setting when avaialble."

I burned my first iDVD andpicture quality is not good. Originals are excellent. My photos are shot in raw or jpeg, both are not sharp when I view my DVD. I viewed it on my 1080 dpi tv and my new apple computer.

There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

Desktop not sharp after installing Solaris 10 8/07 on an Ultra 10

Hi. I just installed the latest version of Solaris 10 on an Ultra10 and noticed that the desktop is not sharp. It's almost as though everything (background, Launch button, windows, etc) is misty. Oddly, the drop down menu displayed with right-click on the desktop is clear and sharp. Likewise, the contents of the Desktop Background Preferences window is OK, but the desktop selections and title bar are misty. If I try to change the resolution, an error is displayed saying 'The XServer does not suport the XRandR extension'.
Any ideas?
Andre.

I used to have a similar issue when connecting my computer by DVI instead the classic way.
After applying several updates the issue was gone for Solaris 10, but is still there for SXDE.
I think it has something to do with video card driver.

How to keep Motion created titles looking sharp on final DVD?

Hello again... I'm having trouble keeping my motion created titles looking sharp on the final DVDSP project. Im exporting a title sequence out of motion into fcp and then exporting the full project via compressor for burn in DVDSP. I'm familiar with the usual temporary quality loss of titles generated with FCP or Livetype while viewing them within the FCP, Compressor, or DVDSP preview, and understand that once they are compressed and viewed on the TV they look great, but for some reason i can't get my motion created titles to do the same.
Out of Motion- i'm using the preset QT settings on the highest quality. Should i use a different setting out of Motion, perhaps an uncompressed QT or via compressor?

Thanks- i'm trying that now. And by the way.... sorry about the misunderstanding. I am exporting out of motion onto my desktop, and then importing the project using FCP.

FM10 Book to PDF - show title (not PDF filename) in Reader header?

FrameMaker 10.0.2.419 + Distiller X Pro 10.1.438 -> Adobe Reader X
I have a FM book file with a title along the lines of 'Worked Examples'. When I save it to PDF with Distiller and view the PDF in Adobe Reader X, the reader's header bar shows the PDF filename e.g. wex.pdf, but I want it to show the book title Worked Examples.
I assume there's a setting in Distiller that forces Reader to show the book title not the file name, but having trawled through the settings/help/forums I can't see it. It's probably blindingly obvious (when you know the answer!), but can anyone tell me how I can get Reader to show a book's title in its header?

Note: I have partially solved this issue by loading the PDF into Acrobat X Pro and going to File > Properties, and on the Doc Properties > Initial View tab selecting 'Show = Document Title', and then saving the PDF. I'm hoping to figure out (or get told!) a way of achieving this from my FM10 book file though.

Have you tried enhancing and sharpening in Premiere Elements before burning to disk?
What steps are you doing exactly?

Photo's in iPhoto are not sharp in the edit mode

photo's in iPhoto are not sharp in the edit mode.

Several reports with no solution - Most people do not see this - report to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feeback
Reports are that a tiny zoom will clear the image up

Images are not sharp as before.

I have been using Aperture for some time.
But recently images are soft-not sharp. All.
Adjustments 1.5 sharpeness to 1. radius. Still not there.
The only way they get better is by adding edge sharpening.
I did not have to do this before.Problem started about the first of May.

Hi Again Steve,
Here is what I discovered-Control:
Tests: D-200 and D-70. JPEG Fine setting. Need to try w/RAW.
Softwares on iMac G5. Aperture & iPhoto.
PC Photoshop Album Starter 3.2
Results:
No significant difference between D-200 and D-70 regarding sharpness.Better resolution w/D-200.
Color accuracy best with Aperture.
But regarding sharpness,which is my issue, this is what I found.
The PC print was the best which I do not beleive has edge sharpening,
maybe it's built into Photoshop/Album 3.2
However I can match the sharpness of the PC print in Aperture only
with edge sharpening.
As mentioned before I haven't had to use Edge Sharpening until now.
Is edge sharpening a destructive issue or is edge sharpening just an everyday
use.
Or is there an issue with my iMac?

My iPad screen is fuzzy, not sharp

My iPad screen is fuzzy, not sharp.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

Full screen pictures in slideshow not sharp

Full screen pictures shown in the slideshow are not sharp, they're blurry. Very disappointing.
In the library they look sharper but not as sharp as exported files (jpeg).
Is this normal? Is it not possible to see sharpening inside Lightroom?
thanks in advance,
jan

If you're referring to an iWeb photo page slideshow or album page slideshow the answer is no. iWeb doesn't provide for a full screen display of a photo. You would have to add some javascript via HTML snippet to alter iWeb's slideshow feature.
There is a way to do what you want with one of the 3 party javascript slideshows. The one that comes to mind is the one in this demo page: Jalbum. Jalbum has over 100 skins/themes that you can choose from. Many will let you select the image size to display.
If you select Borderless Slideshow from the Theme menu and click on the blue/green icon in the upper right hand corner of the example it will convert to full screen. You will have to determine how large a photo you'll need to use for the monitor you want to fill.

Image in drop zone not sharp

Using a DVD SP menu template, I have dropped images into button drop zones. The .jpg files when viewed in photoshop are much sharper than when they are seen in the DVD menu format, even though the images as button images are even smaller than when the image is viewed outside of DVD SP. The unsuarp image stays there when I burn a DVD and test on a television or TV screen too, so it's not a matter of how it looks in simulate.
Any ideas on why the drop zone images are not sharp / how to solve to problem?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Pamela
Have just had a go at this operation on a brand new project and I did not get any of the problems you mentioned both as buttons and drop zones, have you tried it out in a brand new project to see if you get the same results as before, also you could try saving your files as a TIFF from photoshop to see if that increases the quality of what you get from a jpeg.
