Video in PE 10 not as good as straight from file

I have a new Canon Vixia HF G10 HD Camcorder. I used it to video my boys' basketball game. When I view the video directly from the computer it looks fantastic. I have brought it into a project in PE10 and is appears choppy and the lines on the basketball court are jagged - along with other things that make the video look bad. Has anyone run into this problem? Any suggestions on how to fix it? I have not edited the clips at all, just brought them into the new project.
TIA for any help!

Welcome to the forum.
What are the full specs. of the files from that Canon, and how are you Importing them into PrE?
What is the Project Preset in PrE?
Good luck,
Hunt

Hi All, Mac Pro 2008 will not start after shutdown straight from sleep! Help!

WILL A NEW LOGIC BOARD SOLVE MY PROBLEM?
My early 2008 Mac Pro (2.8, 8-core 22 gigs ram) was shutting down from sleep both when I activated it, and then later by itself. Recently it refused to turn on, shuts down after about 3 seconds, light goes off, fans stop.
Took it in and they replaced the GPU card and PSU. Things were great ... for two weeks. Then suddenly the same symptoms, but at an accelerated rate of occurance. After a day, it did not power on at all save the three seconds of startup fans.
Took it in again. They AGAIN replace the known-faulty ATI Radeon HD2600 XT cards (two), the ones Apple have agreed to replace up to July 2011.
Well got the machine back and she worked like a charm... for two weeks. Same thing now. By the way all checks of hardware, ram, disk drives - extensively have come up OK.
Does anyone have any advice, or have the same problem?
If it is the logic board, is it worth it to replace or when things go south like this is it better to cut your losses as more and more will likely go wrong?
Would appreciate any feedback.
Many thanks

We can't help with your question. How would we know what has gone wrong with your hardware? We don't have access to your machine.
I would take it back, or send it in, to Apple Repair.
I hope you have AppleCare!

Not all of my pics from file manager have uploaded into our new version of photoshop elements?

We just upgraded to Adobe elements 12 -
In doing so - one of the files that I have been working on for months didn't totally convert over...so in file manager I have 450 pics...in the same folder in Adobe I have 54 pics..how do I get these all imported correctly?

Which operating system are you using?
If your using mac os x 10.6 (snow leopard) or windows xp or vista, then the below solution will not work and you shouldn't try to install the dng converter 8.5
You could use the free Adobe DNG Converter to convert your files to dng copies which should then open in pse 10.
windows:
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.5

Why is playback video quality not as good as the source?

Hi. I'm not new to PrE but am new to the forum.
I've been using PrE 2 for about 7 years. I got a newer computer running Windows 7 and basically was forced to upgrade to PrE 12 because PrE 2 didn't run very well on the newer machine. Once I installed PrE 12, I was eager to jump into my first project on this machine.
I expected that with a newer machine and the latest software, I would get outstanding results--hopefully much better than what I always got with PrE 2 on the old machine. With PrE 2, it was not uncommon that the imported video seemed lossy on playback or for whatever other reason seemed not as good as the source video.
Unfortunately, the results on the new/new were no better than the old/old. So I switched to my wife's (even newer) machine running Windows 8 and got the same results. Then I thought that perhaps the output to DVD would be better than what I saw in the PrE editor. No dice.
The video quality of the source isn't the greatest (see below), but I expected that the PrE 12 would be no worse.
What went wrong?
Here's what i'm working with on the current project:
Machine 1:
HP EliteBook 8560w
Intel Core i7-2640M 2.8 GHz CPU
Window 7 Enterprise SP1
2 GB RAM
360 GB available HD space
Machine 2:
Dell Inspiron 3521
Intel Pentium 2117U 1.8 GHz CPU
Windows 8 Touchscreen
4 GB RAM
400+ GB available HD space
Video Source:
iPhone 4 video (MOV format)
Thanks for ANY help you can give me.
BTW, I noticed that Steve Grisetti is one of the frequent commenters on this forum. In case you're reading this, Steve, I want to thank you and Chuck E. for your PrE books. I purchased one several years ago and found it extremely helpful. And surprisingly, I found that with PrE 12 I could still use the book that I purchased before because most of it was still relevant to the new software. Still a great purchase!!

Please excuse if I mention things you may already be aware of, but I did not want to take anything for granted.
The installed RAM on Machine 1 is too low for HD work, and I wonder about the processor on Machine 2 even though it has more installed RAM than that on Machine 1. For now, I will bypass the usual drills and get to the source media and project settings.
1. From what I can put together, your source media from iPhone 4 are 720p up to 30 frames per second. That usually translates into a variable frame rate which can be problematic for Premiere Elements. The variable can lead to audio out of sync, but not necessarily. If all else fails, then it is onto HandBrake or the like to change the variable into a constant frame rate.
2. One of the features of version 11 and 12 is the program taking over the setting of the project setting based on the properties of the first video drag to the Timeline. Some times it does it OK, sometimes not. When not, then you set the project preset manually yourself based on what you know to be the properties of your source media. Please refer to the following which includes how to set the project preset manually.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/04/pe11-accuracy-of-automatic-project.html
Based on what I have read about the properties of the iPhone 4 video, I would suggest the project preset (assuming a NTSC set up)
NTSC
AVCHD
AVCHD-LITE 720p30
One of the important things to remember is that Premiere Elements 11 and 12 have as their default project preset
NTSC
AVCHD
Full HD1080i30
and not the NTSC DV Standard of versions earlier than 11.
When 11 and 12 do not get the automatic project preset correct, they do not give you the closest fit, rather they give you their
default NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 which is not going to be appropriate for 720p video.
Classically it is written if you have the correct project preset you should have no colored line over the content when you bring the video to
the Timeline manually set. But, just the variable frame rate can trigger the unrendered indicator (orange instead of red in versions 11 and 12).
So, rendering the Timeline would be indicated to get the best possible preview under these circumstances.
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on either of your computers?

I am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully,

i am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully, it just keeps my mac (old 1.6Ghz 2.5 GB sdram G5 still good for most stuff i need) spinning for ever but i can see compression type H.264 selected and the other setting but i can not select any other options as it still thinking but never opens! why is this happening how do i get round it?
my work flow is: 300 images shot on a 5d mark II medium jpegs opened in Light Room cropped to 16:9 then exported and opened in quick time i can save a .mov H264 giving me files sizes of 14 mb for a 16 second time lapse, mp4 9 mb. the only way i can get large files is saving as a self contained movie then i get 300mb files.
i need to save my files 1920 x 1080 photo jpeg codec as i want HD quality.
i am sure there is a simple way round this?
thanks guys!

Your speaker is working with all other Apps and Audio Calls? If yes, it doesn't appear to be Hardware. Don't know what is causing it, but if it is software related then you can try an iPhone Reset by holding the Sleep Button and the Home Button down together for a bout 15 to 20 seconds until you see the white Apple logo ...then just let go of the two buttons and wait until the iPhone comes back up to your lock-screen. Try another FaceTime Call. If it still doesn't work you might have to update Software to iOS 7.1.1 if you are not already on it. If it still doesn't work, you might do a true iPhone Restore to a clean New In Box type configuration without Restoring from Backup. Don't worry in that after you test this configuration you can then Restore from your last good Backup. I would be thinking at that point that some Application you have on your iPhone was conflicting with the FaceTime App.

Large Export Not As Good With 8.0.1? Plus...

So I've exported my 1st video since the update - Large 540. I've exported several times in fact, after quitting and relaunching too. I can immediately see the quality is simply not as good as before. For all intents and purposes, the 540 exports looked almost the same as the 540 imports. Not any more.
Plus every time I export now, the video level adjustments are not being carried over into the export. Has anyone else noticed either of these issues? I'm guessing no since I can't seem to find a thread on this.
Thanks, guys.

Hey Chris, thanks for responding, in my above post I mentioned my troubleshooting:
Since updating my iPhone 5S (T-Mobile) to both 8.0.1 and then 8.0.2 I've had more issues than I've ever had with any iOS in the past (with the exception of iPhone 4 running iOS 7, but clearly that is an older phone, not a 1 year old model like the 5S). Have tried resetting, powering off, etc too by the way.

hi every i just bought an ipad 2 . en the cams resolution it's not very good. is the the max grafh. or do i need to do something to have cams hd???

Both cameras on the iPad are low resolution, something like 1 meg each (the back camera is capable of 720P HD video). But the cameras are mainly aimed at FaceTime / Skype type video calls, and unless you have very good light you are unlikely to get good stills photos or videos from the iPad - you are better off using a compact camera or even your phone.

ITunes Layouts - Not Real Good Layout

I just wanted to put my two sense worth in. In many ways The iTunes store now seems very cluttered. You have to hunt for far too many things. I found the layout of a year a ago much more manageable. With so many apps out there, it would be more beneficial for the consumer, (ME) to be able to search by topic, type etc. Too many things on a page can give a consumer a sense of disorganization. Because you want to market these things, you ought to find out what your customers are currently purchasing and allow them to set up there own personal app page, allowing for new things based on interest to pop up. If nothing else by topic or interest as it was before, now...not so good. Again, my opinion for what it counts.

gah... same problem, seriously annoying. Also occurs when trying to convert podcasts to iPod Video format, and attempting some other small things with iTunes.

My review of X1 Carbon - Not very good...

Well, I just got my X1 Carbon yesterday. So far, not so good.
I have i7 with 8GB of RAM, 256 SSD and WWAN. Pretty much maxed out on the upgrades.
1. The computer is litterally crooked. When I place it on a hard flat surface (my kitchen counter), it doesn't lay flat. There is about 1 mm gap below the front right rubber foot and the counter. So every time I touch the trackpad, I get a click from the laptop tapping on the counter. Lovely. This is annoying as hell. Poor workmanship by Lenovo.
2. USB 3.0 Dock is an absolute joke. I am using the Targus ACP71USZ. They are all the same, regardless of which model you buy, since they all use Displaylink technology. On the m,onitors connected to the dock, the mouse responds with tiny delays, so it is very annoying and difficult to accurately point the mouse. Its bad with both HDMI and DVI. HDMI is worse. Ethernet, is pathetic. I don't even get a 1mb download speed at speedtest.net. Other computers on the same copnnection get over 20mb. Ping was 800ms vs 5ms for other computers. Absolutely pathetic. Wifi gave me 7mb with 100ms ping. Then I tried connecting the ethernet cable to the dongle that comes with the X1, directly to the X1, and not the dock. I got 18mb and 5ms ping. Much better, but this adds to the fact that the dock is a $200 peice of garbage. The only good way to use an external monitor is via the mini displayport on the X1 itself. So basically here is my setup. I have 2 external monitors. One goes to the DVI on the dock. Other to displayport on the X1. Ethernet dongle on the USB of the X1, power cable on the X1, USB to connect the X1 to the dock. I have to plug in 4 cables to the X1 just to dock it. Kind of defeats the purpose of the dock, and its worse since the dock works like crap anyway.
If I were to just use the X1 as a laptop, then it would be fine. But this machine absolutely stinks when used with a dock.
I am alrerady considering putting it on ebay.

As for the T430s and the Series 3 dock I have, keep in mind it's the 135W dock I bought when I received the ThinkPad W510 for work. The problem I see with my dock and the T430s is that the T430s doesn't remember the configuration and state. So when I dock the notebook and boot it, it doesn't always display on the attached monitors. Or it changes which monitor is the primary. Or it displays only on one monitor at 800x600 resolution.
In short, it is unpredictable and very frustrating.
I have seen enough reports from other ThinkPad Optimus based models in this generation to know it isn't just me. There seems to be some issues with the chipset, drivers, and hardware integration.
There were no such issues with the T420 or T420s.
It is sad to see products take a step backward. You always think and expect continual improvement from generation to generation but it simply isn't true. You roll the dice each time.

Congratulations on the new Mini. Are you saying you tried burning and it does not play, or do you want to burn it only for the computer to be able to play it?

Hello Mats in Sweden!
I'm from Austria, not so far away! The file that you've received seems to be a Windows Media File and you may need a special software for your iPad to be able to open it. I've found something HERE.
If you open this link on your iPad it should take you to the App Store, resp. open it. The price for this app is 1,59 €.

Movies are not one of the items you can reload via iClould like apps, music, and some other items. You can contact iTunes and request a redownload,. They may give you one.
