Video has jagged edges

I've just burned a first dvd with my new mac book pro and final cut express upgrade. The video shows jagged edges all through. It seems fine in the editing program and viewing in the dvd. What can I do to correct this problem.
sputnik

sorry meant to say that it works in idvd. When viewed on the dvd player or computer it looks very jagged.

  • Picture quality has jagged edges when people are moving

    We have our settings right, but when we play back the video there are jagged edges around the people, especially when there is movement. Could the problem be that it is a digital ycc format and apple is switching it to RGB?

    30" Apple monitor or no...you need a PRODUCTION monitor, or a TV to see a TRUE representation of the image:
    #8 External Monitor Viewing.
    Shane's Stock Answer #8:
    A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
    Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
    Then go View > External video > all frames
    Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
    Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
    Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
    If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
    1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
    2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
    3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
    4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
    5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
    6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
    If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

  • Vector Circle Has Jagged Edges - Why?

    I'm creating a button logo in Fireworks for print use and
    wanted to use Vector shapes as I thought they didn't distort.
    I'm working in CMYK at 300DPI.
    So I start out with a white vector circle for the outer-ring
    to the button using an Anti-Alias edge:
    White
    Button
    Then I add the inner vector cirle, same deal as before:
    Blue inner
    circle
    So far so good.
    Now I add an outer bevel effect to the blue circle to give
    the button effect and....
    WOOOOOAAAAHHH!!!!
    The blue circle's edges have gone jagged! What happened
    there? I thought that Vector shapes retained their edges because
    they weren't confined to tiny pixels. What's going on, why aren't
    the edges retaining their smoothness once I've applied an effect to
    the shape?

    For now, if you recreate the effect with an inner bevel
    instead you will
    get rid of the jaggies. (softness = 7)

  • SVG symbol has jagged edges

    I've imported some SVG images (simple vector shapes from Ai) but the images have jagged edges. Anyone know how to overcome this?

  • Video has Interlaced edges after rendering

    I have a two part question. I just captured all my footage. I haven't moved any footage or opened or closed any seq's but when I place my footage into the timeline I have to render everything. In addition, after I render everything it has large interlaced edges. The interlaced edges are not on the source footage on my hard drive. I did a test and saved my footage out as a QuickTime and it still looks very interlaced
    Sample
    http://homepage.mac.com/brian.bradley/PhotoAlbum6.html

    b when I place my footage into the timeline I have to render everything
    Your Sequence Settings don't match your Capture Settings (or at least the settings of the footage you are currently working with.
    Control Cick on one of the clips and choose Item Properties. These properties must match the properties of the Sequence.

  • Logo has jagged edges

    I am trying to put a logo on the menu and it looks awful. the edges are completely jagged and the logo is pixelated. Bringing it in as the original photoshop file. any suggestions.?

    Hi:
    Are you addind it as a drop zone? Or directly in the background?
    The best results are incorporating the logo to your background image/animation and never let DVDSP to scale it; import your images to the final size you need them.
    Hope that helps !

  • Please help! GH1 footage has jagged edges in Premiere Pro CS5!

    Hi everyone. I shot some footage with my Panasonic GH1 (the GH1 records 24p inside a 60i wrapper) and placed it into the AVCHD 1080p 24 timeline. Now, my footage has jaggies wherever there are horizontal edges of objects in the footage (eyeglasses frames, edges of chair, etc.). I am guessing this has to do with the footage being interlaced. But, when I click on the clip and go to Interpret Footage and click "Always Deinterlace", nothing happens. The footage looks exactly the same! How do I get rid of the jaggies? Thanks.

    Yes it does. But... here's something I found out recently. I downloaded the Cineform Neo Scene demo and while it works, it makes huge .avi files and kinda defeats the purpose of being able to edit the native files. So.. after further investigating... late last night I launched TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress just to see if the cineform codec is in the options.. It is. So, I could use the codec from the demo to do the job... But.... Xpress does a FANTASTIC job of pulldown on it's own! Just click filters>deinterlace.. 24p Pulldown removal! Then you can save that as a preset and apply it to groups of clips. Then export as .mp4 which is also h.264 at around 20mb/sec CBR and you have files around the same size as originals that will edit just like AVCHD in CS4.2/CS5 Plus.... Xpress 4.0 uses the Cuda card for encoding! SWEET!
    Oh.. full version $99

  • Jagged edges on text

    My text has jagged edges after I render in FCP 4.5. This also happens when I import files from After Effects and Live Type. I recently lost all of my sequence and render settings, so my thinking is that it's one of those settings. Any ideas?

    By default FCP sequences are in the DV codec which looks as if it loses resolution when viewed on a computer monitor. If you're outputting your video to an NTSC monitor via firewire, DV should look fine ... you must be looking in the Canvas.
    (DV doesn't really lose much resolution on computers ... if you open a DV video file in Quicktime & go to Movie Properties-->Video Properties, you can select "High Quality." The Powers That Be at Apple so ordained this setup because computers used to have trouble playing back full-resolution video at 29.97 fps ... not really the case nowadays but they keep playing DV at "low quality" by default.)
    If you change your sequence codec to Animation it will look sharp & crisp. But be careful, Animation files will eat up space on your scratch disk like CA-RAAAAAAZY. So either you need oodles of space or short animations.

  • Saving Shapes to PNG Causes Jagged Edges

    Hello,
    I use a Mac and I have Illustrator CS6 and I've noticed something strange. I create shapes using the pentool. When I save the shape to a PNG with a transparent background, it looks smooth, however when I import and resize the shape it pixelates and it has jagged edges.  I've attached a screenshot so you can see what I mean.
    I'm wondering if it's a setting or something that I don't have turned on (or off).  Or perhaps it's something else.  I'm curious why this is happening.  I’ve turned on the Anit-aliased Artwork and changed the ppi to 300…but to no avail.
    Any help would be appreciated…but I’m new to Illustrator and have no idea, so please use detailed and basic instructions that a noob can understand. 
    Thanks in advance.

    You answered your own question. A png is a raster image therefore resizing the image will pixelate it.

  • Pasted Ai graphics (svg) have jagged edges

    I am working on an animation in Edge Animate and have been copy and pasting all the assets from Illustrator. I noticed that the result, whether it is in the Edge interface or the published HTML file, has jagged edges. I assumed that they would be smooth since Edge was creating vector files, but that is not the case.
    Here's what I'm seeing:
    Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

    We were able to solve the above issue that Micah was facing with SVG. Posting this here for the benefit of others seeing the same issue.
    Description:
    In Edge Animate CC there existed a SVG pixilation issue which is observed on browsers when any SVG content is animated with “scale up” transform. To solve this problem in Edge Animate CC 2014 we are scaling up the container div by a factor of 10 (which is by default) and then using image filtering to reduce the resolution based on the inverse scale. Property panel will show this inverse transform scale since that is the transform scale applied to the svg element.
    This scale factor can be changed from:
    1.      Close Animate
    2.      Open the preference folder:
    a.      Windows: C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Edge Animate\4.0.0\
    b.      Mac: /Users/{username}/Library/Prefrences/Adobe/EdgeAnimate/4.0.0/
    3.      Open the AppPrefs.xml file in a text editor.
    4.      Search for the Current line in AppPrefs.xml:
    <key>SvgAntiScaleFactor</key>
    <float>10</float>
    Update this to:
    <key>SvgAntiScaleFactor</key>
    <float>1</float>
    5.      Launch Animate
    6.      Now try to copy the assets from Ai to Edge and check if you still see the jagged edges. Note: reopening the old composition with the new preference settings will not help. You will need to re-copy the assets with the new preference setting for this to work.
    Thanks,

  • Images have jagged edges when rotated in Keynote 6.1

    After upgrading to Keynote 6.1, I'm having problems when rotating images that I've imported to my slides. Any time I rotate an image that's not on a 45, 90, 180 angle, the image has jagged edges.
    Here's a screenshot as an example. The image is on 4 degree angle.
    Any ideas?

    Sorry, in haste I forgot to mention this also:
    Use an appropriate slide size, as a minimum resolution I match the slide size (Keynote > Inspector > Setup Slide Size), to the resolution of the display I am using, in my case 1920 x 1200.
    I always resize the images I bring into Keynote with the same pixel resolution as the slide size.

  • Imported images have jagged edges when scaled down

    Perhaps I'm missing something really obvious (like the quality thing in the After Effects timeline), but I imported a Photoshop image, a logo, scaled it down to 15%, and it has jagged edges. Ditto for a TIFF version of same. Starting resolution is plenty large.

    You can adjust the apparent size of the image in the "media" tab of the property inspector. Select the photo in the media bin (not the layer in the timeline), then the media tab in the insepctor.
    try reducing the size of the image to the size you are scaling it to (of course, you'll have to adjust the scale property of objects in the timeline which use that image). for example, if the image is 1000px wide, and you're scaling it 15%, then adjust the media size to 150px and restore the scale to 100%.
    YMMV but it's worked well for me. sometimes adding a slight gaussian blur helps (<.25). it would be more effective to scale in an image editing app (like photoshop) to the desired size, but this is more flexible.

  • Jagged edges in video

    I just upgreaded to HD - I use Sorenson Squeeze to compress.  I DO de-interlace.  When compressing to mp4, when someone moves Im getting a jagged line on the subject that is moving.  Any suggestions?

    Well, DV is lower field first.
    But this is normal. When you de-interlace you are left with jagged edges where the individual field lines were. It is most noticeable with graphics/text and fine edges. Trust me I deal with this ALL THE TIME with my clients. They make commercials that are interlaced for broadcast, but almost ALWAYS watch their own material on computers. But they hate interlacing lines AND jagged edges... it is lose/lose.
    Anyway your best bet is to use the best quality settings in compressor for de-interlacing. But you'll never get 100% rid of it. Sad fact of interlacing sadly.
