Video is Pixelating

I am tryiing to use Photoshop Elements 10 for the first time. I imported a file from my Panasonic Lumix camera that was recorded in "Motion JPEG" format. The file runs great on my computer when i play it in Quicktime (fullscreen on a 23.5 monitor). When I play it in Elements 10 in the upper left window it is very pixelated. Please Help.

Are you asking about PremIere Elements? That has its own forum (most us here don't do video) and you'll get better answers to video questions if you ask over there:

ALL flash videos looks pixelated, win 7 or 8.1, ONLY with firefox

Latest firefox version, latest adobe flash player.. Had cleaned cache and preferences of both Firefox and Flash Player.. two different machines with different hardwares and SOs, no luck!
With Google Chrome all videos are ok. It's like the difference in this two images: http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/computer-chip-super-resolution-640x353.jpg
Firefox's WEB images are GREAT but all videos looks pixelated as the left picture.. had compared the same video with Firefox and Chrome opened side-by-side.. :\

Hardware acceleration ON of OFF didn't make any difference.. honestly I never saw anyone saying they see any difference switching it..
Of course with a higher resolution (720 or 1080p) there's less pixelation, but with other browsers there ain't such issue..

Ichat Video Quality pixelated and very delayed with friend on a Dell

I am on a Imac and have Airport express, but when I chat with my friend on a Dell, my video is pixelated and delayed. I talk with other friends on PC's and the quality is fine.

Add me to this problem. My powerbook G4 (10.4.10) can initiate with a mini G4 with isight (10.5.2) and be perfect in sync with video and audio. But if the mini initiates the chat a very long delay happens between voice and video. I also have an Ibook with 10.4.11 and when chatting with PB G4 are perfect, this applies to an intel imac with 10.5 only, ichat works fine. I think Ichat got affected with 10.5.1 or 10.5.2. I did noticed that if I open QT pro and make a recording(on mini), the actual caption is delayed but play back is ok. I have been playing with the QT preferences but does not seem to work. I saw there is a new update 10.5.3, and it includes so ichats update. Will keep posting. Pedro PS this is all in my home network. TWCNYC with 9600 kbps download and 488 kbps upload.

How to keep videos from pixelating in browser

Hi,
How do I keep my flash videos from pixelating badly when
viewed in a browser using the zoom feature (as in Opera, Explorer,
and Firefox)?
So far, I've been embedding my videos using the Dreamweaver
CS3 "insert: media: flash video" routine.
The videos look perfectly sharp when viewed in any browser at
100%. They're also acceptable when zoomed OUTSIDE the browser, in
RealPlayer or Quicktime.
Here's what I mean. The left image is in Opera (zoomed), the
right is in RealPlayer (outside a browser) also zoomed:
Samples
On other sites, I see videos that zoom without serious
pixelation, or that don't allow zooming (the video keeps the same
dimensions as other page elements expand.) I'd be happy with either
solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Bruce

Establish a pixel height & width in your embed code that
is the true height
& width of your video player and controls. Don't use
percentages.

Video export pixelated

Hi,
I shot video on a Canon 7D and imported into LR3. The video looks and sounds great in camera prerview but when I export out of LR3 (or when I play inside of LR3) the video has pixelated banding lines running through it. LR3 opens the video in Windows Media player as the default. Any ideas what is going on?
Thx,
Rick

Rick,
I'm not sure. It sounds like the codec that WMP is using to play them leaves something to be desired. It may be possible to find a better codec for it.
Can you set Quicktime up to be the default player for the type of video files that your Canon produces? I bet you can.

Lack of smooth video flow, pixel activity in white colors when dvd burned.

We have a 2008 HD AVCHD HDR SR12 sony video camera. We down loaded movies onto our macbook and burned dvd's on idvd. The result when viewed on hd tv was as follows. Lack of smooth video flow and pixel activity in white colors. The finished product looks fine on the computer screen. We are using maxell dvd-r and sony dvd accucore -r discs. We are home movie enthusiasts and do these for our family (amateurs).

Hi
Way over my head BUT my first thoughts is.
• AVCHD is very demanding - are Your Macs up to it ?
• I would secoure lot's of free space on internal (booth/strat-up) hard disks
eg 25 or 50 or even more Gbs This is the scratch disk for iDVD and the video editor BUT
also for Mac OS (UNIX) and QuickTime (the heart of iMovie, iDVD, FinalCut Express and Pro)

Poor quality Video, picture pixelated using apple tv

Hi, I can stream video like bbc iplayer using apple tv2, from my iPhone 3GS and my ipad2. Moving pictures ( video) tends to be very pixelated to fast the image the worse it is . Still photos are good and the sound is perfect.. Wifi is from BT with router hub 3 The picture quality is the same using wifi or Ethernet cable. Is my problem with the hub ? If so can you recommend a router that is comparable with BT and apple tv?

I've just carried out a few tests using iPlayer.
I have a largish house and use a number of wifi base stations to compensate for both the distance and the fact that I often have quite a lot of network traffic.
At first I found the quality of the video very good, but I then switched the networks the devices were using so that instead of using the nearest base station they were using the furthest one away, at which point I got pixelation too.
That's useful info.
Sounds as though Airplay does have rate adaptive video quality in this case?

Poor video quality, pixelation, flickering on moving subjects in frame

I made a quicktime movie using File>Export>Quicktime Conversion... in FCP using H.264 compression codec with best video quality and 16-bit audio. video was originally captured in miniDV. Self contianed movie was made and looked pretty good in Quicktime, though the edges of moving subjects in frame did have small wavy lines (I assume from interpolation of DV?). Anyway it was acceptable to me (but if there is a fix please advise as I figured this was endemic to miniDV itself.)
Then I created a DVD in iDVD 6.0.3 with several slide shows and two relatively short movies (12-14 minutes in length each). The edges of moving subjects in frame (i.e. persons walking into the frame) now have large square pixelations sort of like this --->( |-|_|-|). At anyrate, the fine wavy lines from the QT movie have become much worse when there is movement, and I'm not talking speed, just any movement like a hand moving in the frame, etc. Otherwise the quality of the video is comparible to the exported movie from FCP.
Does anyone have suggestions for how to eliminate this problem?
thanks!

That's normal interlacing. You usually want to preserve those comb lines if your target is TV display which will hide them and use them to make smoother motion.

But if your target is a computer display, then you usually want to deinterlace them off because they look ugly on a PC monitor.
originally captured in miniDV ... H.264 ... Then I created a DVD in iDVD 6.0.3
No! You should not convert the original DV to H.264 if your final target is a video-DVD!
Just keep it as DV. And take care that your FCP export to DV is bottom field first field dominance because otherwise you get terrible zigzag movement artifacts! ...I don't have FCP so I can't give you more advice on that (mini-DV ->iMovie ->iDVD handle all this automatically).

Why does the Video looks Pixelated after Burning DVD

In IDVD when I preview the video it looks great, when I burn the DVD it comes out very very pixelated. I've changed the preferences from Best Performance to Best Quality, and the project properties as well I've done the same. Does anyone know why this is happening?
I'm using 16:4 aspect ratio Video Size is 1280x720
Help

How are you viewing the DVD you created - on a computer or on a TV?
In IDVD when I preview the video it looks great
The preview uses your original content on your hard drive and is simply designed to allow you to see if the 'flow' (sequences, menus, etc) are what you wanted.
In addition, although iDVD 'supports' HD, it only supports it in the context of current specifications - not the new HD DV world that has two competing HD DVD formats.
This means your 1280x720 content gets downsized and compressed to fit on a 720x480 DVD. The video must be 'expanded' to play on a HD set.
BTW, your aspect ratio is 16:9 and NOT 16:4. 16:4 would REALLY be widescreen! I haven't seen THAT spec yet.

All video content pixelated during playback.

Issue: All video content (Trailers, Podcasts, TV shows stored locally, TV shows & music videos streamed from iTunes) are pixelated. HDMI Audio is unaffected as are the AppleTV menus, screen savers and photo slideshows.
*Troubleshooting steps taken:*
Checked HDMI cable connection.
Checked HDMI cable with another device.
Checked various types of video content.
Ran diagnostics on AppleTV. No errors found.
Restored AppleTV to factory conditions.
Upgraded to latest firmware.
Synced content locally.
I have no idea what else to do. Has anyone ran into this situation? What, if anything, could I do to resolve this issue?
I have used my AppleTV without this issue ever happening before as recently as a week ago. The content that I was attempted to watch was purchased from the Apple iTunes store.

Since another device worked with the same cable and port on my Vizio TV I have, the only thing could have been the AppleTV. So I decided to go to the Apple Store. 45 minutes after unplugging the AppleTV I was at the Apple Store. Then after another 40 minutes of waiting for the Genuis, my AppleTV was plugged in and worked perfectly.
The only thing I can think of is the heat from the AppleTV always being on affected the graphics card. Let's see if it happens again.

Has anyone else encountered a problem with poster frames not recognising a video's pixel aspect ratio

I'm discovering a strange effect with some of the .mp4 videos I've upload into iBooks Author. They're Pal SD 4:3 .movs with a 16:9 pixel aspect ratio and they play out fine on the iPad. However the iBooks software seems to be ignoring the pixel aspect ratio of the poster frame. This leads to the situation.
1) When I drag my video into iBooks author all looks good - the video is 16:9 and if I choose to set a poster frame (or leave it at default) it looks 16:9 in the iBooks Author.
2) I preview my book and it opens in iBooks on the iPad. But now the poster frame aspect ratio is 4:3
3) I click on the video to start playing and it immediately jumps to 16:9 aspect ratio and plays out fine.
4) If it scroll down a couple of pages and then scroll back the video poster frame has now reset itself to 4:3
This sounds like a bug to me. Anyone else had it? Do you know if it's possible to report bugs without having a Developer licence?
Thanks for any help
Rob

While there is no formal bug reporting method similar to what devs have w/apps, iBA does have a 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu item.

Reversing video, 1 pixel shift = smoothness?

When reversing video, I know you should apply the shift field option to make it crisp/smooth. I'm just curious as to whether shifting the image 1 pixel up or down would have the same effect.

Graeme Nattress has a G-reverse filter that does a much better job than FCP's internal effect.

good luck.

After Rendering Video Becomes Pixeled?

I'm using FCE and Live Type. I've never had this issue before. I'm putting a lower-third on a music video I'm making. If I stick the livetype file into FCE it shows 'red' at the top indicating it hasn't rendered. If I move the marker to part of the unrendered clip, it looks fine. If I render off to a full quality video (before it does the preview-render) the full quality clip looks fine.
However, if I let it do a preview render, now inside my working area, the text looks pixelated, and if I do a full quality render the text ends up really nasty.
I deleted my render files and re-rendered the previews and the issue still existed.
Any thoughts?

Ok, maybe I'm going to reveal a lack of knowledge here, but where do I find the 'project settings'? I know where the clip settings are.
My Clips are running:
29.97fps
720x480
DV/DVCPRO-NTSC
My LiveTypes are running:
29.97fps
720x486
LiveType Codec Decompressor
My 'Easy Setup' is set to 'All Formats' 'All Rates' 'DV-NTSC 32kHz FireWire Basic'.
The cameras were recorded at 60i.

Photoshop CS6 Video Timeline Pixelated? Plese Help!!

All objects and text's look great until I hit the play button, then everything becomes pixelated? Any thoughts on why? Please help

Any thoughts on why?
Sure:
I hit the play button,
It simply means your system doesn't have enough juice and in order to be able to play at reasonable framerates at all, the footage is degraded/ downsampled. It's an inherent limitation in anything to do with video and realtime playback. You could provide system info and we might give a few pointers to optimize performance, but generally you shouldn't expect "realtimeness" for everything. if that is crucial, you would need a proper video editing application, but even then the hardware requirements would have to be met.
