Video files show very low resolution poster image

Using Indesign CC and the latest tools and content viewer I am creating Autoplay video animations for the cover of our weekly magazine.
With each issue I have published the same problem occurs where the poster image for the video file is very low resolution and makes our content look very amateur (for a brief moment) before playing the video file at full resolution.
I have tried creating animations using flash, photoshop and Edge Animate, exporting MP4, MOV and OAM files. The problem is present with all movie files and with the Edge animation files a white flash appears before the file plays.
Is there a solution for either of these issues? We are looking to continue to use animations for our covers and need them to look 100% crisp and clean.

Sorry to jump in but I'm having the same issue too!
I have an H.264 mp4 which I created in After Effects and inserted using the Media panel within DPS.
As you see below, it plays on page load and I have chosen the finished front cover to be the poster image when it ends from within the Folio Overlays panel. I have set the video to stop on the last page.
When the video stops you can see all the artifacting around the text which I would expect to be as crisp as the original PSD file I uploaded as the poster image.
Is there anything I'm doing wrong or is there anything that can improve the quality of the final still?

  • Moving object between tabs results in very low resolution?

    Hello,
    I'm using Illustrator CS5
    When I move an object to a new tab(drag and drop), the end reult is very low resolution/distorted image?
    Regards

    You are welcome, 1-2-3.
    That alignment is the default for kinds of documents normally used for web and devices where it may be an advantage to work in whole pixels only. It is possible to change the setting for such documents.
    What happens is that (part of) the artwork is moved to be contained within whole pixels, by the least possible amount. This also happens during creation so that the Anchor Points/whatever that you place are adapted, unless you place them at whole pixel positions, in other words small, maybe unnoticeable, corrections of what you do.
    When you drag and drop, you basically just throw it into a new, normally off grid, position, and the parts of the artwork may be moved differently.
    You may keep the undistorted shape even with Align to Pixel Grid ticked if you copy from the source document and then use Paste in Front/Place/Back in the receiving document.  You can also move it by whole pixels in either/both directions.
    In any case, you may ask yourself whether you want (the individual parts of) the artwork to be contained within whole pixels, or more freely created. In the latter case, you should have Align to Pixel Grid unticked before you even start.

  • Very low resolution previews using loupe in import dialog

    Hi,
    I had connected Canon 6D via usb to import photos to Lr. However in import dialog using loupe view I get very low resolution previews even if I zoom all way up. It doesn't make any changes in preview resolution, it's like 200x300 pixels at most. I shoot both raw and jpeg and it is the same. Tried full card format. Doesn't help. I can zoom normaly in camera screen. Is it related to the fact that I connected camera directly via usb instead of using card reader? I use latest Lr (5.6) and latest camera firmware (1.1.4).

    A raw file usually has two previews embedded in it, a tiny thumbnail preview and a larger zoomable preview.  It sounds like LR is only able to retrieve the tiny thumbnail preview even though you are able to zoom in on previews in the camera.   Unless the camera, itself, is actually decoding the raw file to produce the zoomable preview and none is in the raw file for LR to see. 
    You can use the following website to investigate what previews are available in a raw file:  http://regex.info/exif.cgi  You want to click the Browse button next to Local Image File and navigate to a raw file and click Ok, then click the View Image From File button, then wait for the raw file to be uploaded, after which information about the raw file will be shown including the sizes of the previews and raw image.
    As to your question about whether using a card reader might help, try it and see.  There could be a system driver getting in the way when the camera, itself, is plugged in.

  • Why does Photoshop Elements 11 open a file in a lower resolution than I saved it in?

    Why does Photoshop Elements 11 open files in a lower resolution than I saved them?

    The only meaningful figures for 'resolution' with a digital image are the pixel dimensions. They are not changed by saving.
    The ppi (pixel per inch) information is not a property of the image, just like the dimensions of your prints : it's your choice when you want do display or print your images. The detail level of your image is dependent on the pixel size.

  • Why are my photos now appearing in very low resolution?

    What happened to my sharp and clear photos? Why are my photos now very low resolution with a progress image appearing as a circle on the photo and filling in 1/4 of the circle.  Why are the photos very low resolution copies that look like crap? Where are the good sharp photos I took?

    Latest iOS on iPad Air in photos. It appears server was slow. Progress bar circle now filling in complete circle and resolution is good.  Why do I have to download my photos from iCloud i have plenty of memory space on my ipad ?  Same with movies and music I purchased.  I bought extra physical
    memory when I purchased my iPad so I could view my stuff regardless of whether I had a wifi connection...apparently not.

    Check the sort options in the Events mode.  Sort by Date - descending so the newest events will be at the top of the window. There's be a single event for each month titled like htis: Mar 2014 Photo Stream.  All new photos added to the Photo Stream from your mobile devices in March will be imported into that event.
    You can try the following to "jump start" the Photo Stream:
    Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Stream preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively.

  • Startup Screen at very low resolution

    When ever I turn on my macbook pro (late 2011) the start up screen with the white background and the apple logo is at a very low resolution and has black bars on eithier side of the screen. Then when it switches from that to the login screen the transition between the two screens is very pixelated. Then when it gets to the login screen everything is perfectly fine. How do I fix this? Thanks.

    Hello Reagan,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. The easiest way to solve the problem, is to reset the NVRAM, the following article will give information on what it is and how to go through that process.
    About NVRAM and PRAM
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.

  • Slow video playback in very high resolution X11

    Hi everyone. I write this msg for ask your eternal knowledgement.
    I have a very huge system (i7 3820 LGA2011, 8Gb quad channel, Gigabyte x79-up5-wifi, AMD HD5870 2Gb Eyefinity 6, etc) running Arch on it. The OS is updated. The Arch config is very minimal, using Fluxbox as WM and VLC and Mplayer to playback videos. The video driver is the latest stable Catalyst (13.4) and so on. I got connected six HD screens seted to a resolution of 1366x768. These screens are managed with xrandr, adjusted for considering the bezel compensation, using xrand --output MONITOR --pos X+BEZELxY+BEZEL.
    When i play a video with mplayer (using the gl video driver) the movie shows very well and smooth, but when i pan the video all over de virtual screen (4194x1583 aprox), the movie shows very choppy.
    The strange fact is the Conky reports shows me an 5% of CPU usage, so the system performance are not the problem.
    The mplayer flags that i use to play this video are plenty, being the threads=4, gl:ati-hack and -root the most important.
    If anyone can give me a hint to solve this issue, i would be very grateful.
    thx in advance.

    The videos I use are created with different devices.
    I have HD videos taken with a Pentax DSLR and I have Full-HD videos taken with a Windows Phone 8 device.
    Both playback on my Laptop without any stottering with different software. I checked WMP and VLC. Even when using my Laptop with energy-saving profile these videos can be played without stottering.
    When I playback the videos in PSE11 Organizer I don't want to edit them - just playback. So why should the internal player behave different? I agree with you - this might be different when I playback the videos in Premiere Elements 11 (as this is a video editing software). But when using Photoshop Elements 11 I want to be able to playback videos in the same performance as I can do with WMP or VLC. If Photoshop Elements 11 can't do that - why? The organizer of PSE11 is not an editor. It should be able to playback videos the same way (with the same performance) as other players on my laptop.
    Can you please explain this sentence: "Have you started a Premiere Elements project yet that uses this video's specs? This will often trigger Premiere Elements to download the necessary components for interpretting the video." Is there anything I can do to improve video playback performance?

  • Video files show up as music files?!?!

    My 5th Gen 30GB ipod Video has around 30 video files in it. When I plugged it into computer today (with iTunes installed) to charge it, after a few hours when I unplugged it, all the video files were gone! I found them all under the music section of my ipod. When I play them, only the very first pixel/clip shows up in a small icon( where the album usually is for music) and plays the audio only. This isnt the first time it has happend either, last time I had to delete all the vid files and reupload them onto my iPod. This time they are still in there, anyone have any idea on how to fix this? This is extremely frustrating! Thanks for your help in advance!

    I have this same problem. But, the videos are not on my computer. My boyfriend put them on from his laptop, but lent it to his friend. The friend will have his laptop until this weekend, and I really do not want to wait that long. If anyone has a quick solution, I would really appreciate it.

  • HT1551 Apple TV and iPad 2 very low resolution pictures - how to resolve please?

    Hi
    We've just bought Apple TV and it works fine with Netflix, with good resolution etc.
    However resolution is really poor and blurred when using iPad 2.
    What's more when iPad 2 is near the TV Netflix also goes low resolution and fuzzy. I've been having to turn the iPad off to get the Netflix resolution back again.
    Is there a solution to this please?
    One other quick question - I downloaded the Remote app and it seems to work, except I have a completely blank screen on the iPad (except for controls along top and bottom edges. Is this how it's supposed to be?
    Thanks for advice.

    I have had ATV for 6 months now and run it in AirPlay and through iTunes.  I recently updated my iMac software and had the same problem.  I restarted my iMac and the problem disappeared so maybe update your ATV and host system. Shut them both down/restart or reset and have another go.  If it has been working fine previously then my theory is that generally the router and hardware are good enough to carry the system and it must be something you/we have done wrong.  I am not a techno wizard so i hope this helps.

  • Red channel seems very low resolution

    Iwth a HVX200 and P2 workflow, I have noticed in the past that in Final Cut the images look good, but if you export them, the red channel can have artifacts, it looks like a 1/8th of the resolution. This could do with the channel smoothing.. I dunno.
    However, I had a work around (a bit of a chicken dance: opening the original files in quicktime, unchecking then rechecking the 'hi-quality' mode, then saving them as uncompressed.. THEN outputting them as frames.)
    However, with all the newest updates to the P2 importer, I am now noticing that the problem has creeped into Final Cut itself, and there is no way to work around it.
    I have older footage that looks great, if I now go and re-shoot, it looks bad, really bad.
    What is going on ?
    Has anyone else had this problem.
    I work in a large facility, and we do a lot of greenscreen and this is a real problem.
    thanks in advance,
    cris blyth

    like this?
    (200% zoom)
    The little red blocks around the arms.It has something to do with over saturation of the red channel causing problems with color sampling and compression. Fortunately, it goes away once it hits a TV monitor. I'm a little bit confused as well, but I do know what your talking about.

  • Why do some video files show up under music, & some under movies?

    I ordered a CD off of iTunes that included bonus material, 4 of which were videos. 3 were music videos, 1 an interview with the artist. The 3 music videos show up at the end of the album in the music part of iTunes, the interview video shows up seperately under movies. Is there any way to manipulate this, so all the videos can be in one place, be it under movies, or music?
    Thanks to anyone who takes the time to help me out here.

    Right click the file and then click get info, go to the options tab, there should be a box which says media type: change this to the option you want.

  • Macbook air (11 inch) shows very low battery  percentage when the charger is plugged in

    My macbook air cannot be used when the charger is plugged in.  The battery percentage will go all the way down to 0% very soon and the computer will shut down then. For example, it shows 1:40 left in the battery when I did not plug in the charger, but once I plug the charger in , it will show 0:43 left instantly. What might be the problem and how to resolve it?
    PS: the macbook air can be charged when I shut it down. And it is no problem when the battery is not empty and the charger is not plugged in.

    Thank you very much. Here is the information:
      Full Charge Capacity (mAh):          4128
      Cycle Count:          346

    Any other suggestions?
