VIDEO PIXELATED

A 30 second portion of an 8 minute SD sequence becomes pixelated after I burn a DVD in DVD Studio Pro, there is no issue with the video playing in the editing software I'm using (AVID) or when I make a quicktime reference file, or even after it imports into DVD Studio Pro, just when it burns and it and its the same like 30 seconds of video every time. Has anyone had this issue? Thanks!

I've duplicated and then modified a few of the DVD presets (DVD is standard definition only).  With the copy of the Dolby Digital (.ac3) preset, I changed the DIAL NORM to -31dbfs and set the Compression to NONE so the audio will be at the same level as it was in FCP.  And I'll usually adjust the video (.m2v) custom preset to best fit my program's duration.

  • Video pixel ratio in Adobe Bridge CS3

    How do I get the video Pixel Ratio to show in Bridge CS3? I went to preference and it is already checked. But, I can't seem to figure out how it show in the metadata tab. Thanks for your help.

    In the Find box the Match drop down has 2 options. "If all criteria is met" is like "and" while "if any criteria met" is like "or" logic.

  • Video Pixelation Issue - New HP Pavilion 15-P008TX Notebook - Windows 8.1

    Ahoy,
    I've seen topics regarding this issue - i.e. first day running a new HP Pavilion 15-P008TX, using Windows 8.1...
    However the video quality on videos being played from the DVD Drive, HDD, and streamed videos (e.g YouTube) are extremely low quality.
    Unfortunately I can't screenshot the issue - the best way to describe it would be to say that the videos look like YouTube videos being viewed on 144p
    DVDs, and even 1080p videos are low quality and pixelated...
    So far I've tried the following to no avail:
    - Uninstalling and Reinstalling intergrated video drivers (Intel HD 4400) and Nvidia 3D drivers (Geforce 830M)
    - Switching scaled views in the display section
    - Installing VLC (with the latest codecs) to test if it was a codec issue
    - Running a windows update
    - Changing Graphic settings that may intefere with issues in quality (both Intel HD settings app and Nvidia 3D settings)
    Windows Apps and programs aren't affected, only video playback.
    First day of using my new HP Notebook, and i'm hoping to resolve this issue promptly.
    Cheers.

  • Determining Video Pixel Size from Still Pixel Sizes

    Hello
    I posted a few questions here in regard to establshing good Pixel Sizes in stills for use in FCE.
    Tom, and Studio X were very helpful, and I picked up a few pointers.
    One thing I still didn't grasp completley was how to determine (perhaps from a simple formula), what the Video Pixel Size would be from a photo's pixel size.
    As Tom pointed out:
    "A 2400x3000 pixel image may be perfectly adequate and not produce as many imaging problems when scaled in a video application"
    And as I discovered in regard to print size:
    "An 8" x 10" document that is scanned at 300 dpi has the pixel dimensions of 2,400 pixels (8" x 300 dpi) by 3,000 pixels (10" x 300 dpi).
    So then all this being said, is there a way to easily determine what the Video Pixel Size will be from the given Pixel dimensions of a still image?
    (Like from a re-sized Tiff in Photoshop)
    My version of Photoshop doesn't seem to have that conversion option for determining NTSC Video image quality.
    Thanx
    Mike

    And if I need to zoom in really tight to a small area in a particular still, I should allow myself an image size a bit larger than 1280x720. Correct?< </div>
    If only it was that easy. The video screen is roughly 800 by 500 pixels. That's all there are. If you bring in a 1600x1000 JPEG (might want to try TIFF instead) and you wish to see the whole image, it will be scaled down to 25% to fit onto the small screen and all of your pixels will be thrown away or mashed together. It's terribly inefficient and the image gets mushily softened.
    If you need to zoom in to a particular spot on the image, imagine that spot as filling the 800x500 pixel screen. You can use a simple ruler and measure the area you wish to be full screen (without any scaling being applied by FCP because that will destroy your image). Now measure the largest part of the image that you want to be on screen at any one time when zoomed all the way out. The ratio of those two numbers is what you will need to scan. Example (highly simplified don't try to argue about the precision) if your big image is 10x8 inches and your desired tight shot is 4x3 inches, you must provide a TIFF that is 2.5 or 2.75 times the size of the tightest area. That tight area is going to be 800x500 pixels. You will scan the 10x8 image to obtain a TIFF that is almost 2.5 times 800 pixels wide or 2000 pixels, by 2.5 times 500 pixels high or 1250 pixels. Do not bother to convert that into DPI. You are targeting an image size measured in pixels. It's got nothing to do with the size of the original image or the DPI. Repeating: Absolutely nothing.
    This will give you an image into which you can zoom and suffer no image degradation. It will also give you a tremendous processing hit. FCP just doesn't like to do that kind of scaling.
    Umm, doesn't look like I helped much. This issue is highly misunderstood and it's quite confusing if you come from a Photoshop background. giving up concepts like DPI is almost impossible. The only way to get it is to work through the many options Photoshop and video people offer up and try to figure out why some of them don't work for you.

  • Batch convert to video pixels

    Is there an easy way to convert a bunch of JPEG files from square pixels to video pixels?
    I need to convert 2000 images so they don't look distorted when rendered as a video animation. (I'm using the ImageFlow plugins to animate in Final Cut Express.)
    I know how to do this by opening a file in Photoshop CS2 and changing the pixels, but I don't have time to do that individually for 2000 files. I was hoping there was a (relatively) easy way that a Bear of Very Little Brain could manage…

    CS2 has batch processing capability. If necessary, you could couple batch processing with a recorded Action of you resetting the pixel aspect ratio. Couldn't you?
    ps. Lynda.com has a whole series of tutorials on this.

  • Why is my 60i video pixelated/choppy when imported into Final Cut Pro X?

    I just bought a brand new Nikon D5200 to get into some indie film making. I put together a quick short the night I got it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN8OAprluOI) and filmed in 1080p at 24fps. It turned out great, footage looked great, was ready to test out the 1080 60i they put on it. Again, the footage looked great but only on the camera this time...Every time I go to import it into FCP X it comes up pixelated and choppy but if I'm just watching it in Quicktime its smooth and looks fantastic. Is there anything I can do to get my 60i footage imported into FCP X and stay true to the quality? The codec it's importing on is
    h.264 and when it gets into FCP X it switches over to it's true nature of 29.97i so i just don't know what the problem can be!!
    HELP PLEASE!!!!
    Thanks in advance!

    Hey Zach.
    How did your progressive footage wind up in an interlaced video? (Who is "they"?)
    Typically, one wants to edit as close as possible to what was shot. The cases where progressive needs to be converted to interlaced would typically be where one needed to match delivery requirements in broadcast. The conversion to interlaced is almost certainly going to introduce "issues".

  • How to export .MOV in desired video pixel size and in a centered format.

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium SPK2 and Quick Time for Windows Pro Version 7.6.5 the latest release.
    I have a series of Quick Time .mov files which were shot at HD using a Canon Mark II EOS 5D camera. In total its about 28 GB of .mov files seperated into 78 different .mov clips. The movie inspector says they are .H264 format at 1920 x 1080 pixels
    When I look at the QTM Other Properties Visual Settings it tells me the .mov Transformation for Normal, Display and Scaled is 1920 X 1080 pixels. I have checked 'Preserve Aspect Ratio.
    I have figured out that I can drag all the individual clips into QTP thus making a single complete movie so to say. However, I have not been able to figure out how to convert this into a mpeg file (compressed ) that will display normally both on a PC when burned to DVD or to play on a standard DVD player or even play at the correct size on a PC.
    *Playback size not correct:*
    It also does not display at the requested size when the mpeg file is played natively on the PC wheter using Video Lan, Windows Movie Player, or just clicking on the file and letting IE open it. Their also seems to be a centering issue in which the movie is not centered in the playback window but rather is positioned in the upper left corner, theirby leaving white space to the right and bottom of the player. The original .mov file which I can view in QTP does not have this problem. In fact I have to use the Half Size option so as to view it entirely other wise its too large for my standard PC display.
    I want the completed movie to appear similarly to what one would get if they were to purchase a DVD movie at the store.
    I have gotten it to export in two different sizes reducing down to 256mb and 576mb respectively but both resulting mpeg files display smaller than I desire. The larger one is suppose to be displaying as 1280 x 720 pixels but does not appear to be doing so It appears more like 640 x 480 image. Also neither finished mpeg shows centered in the playback screen.
    My Export Options are set as:
    Movie to MPEG-4
    File Format: MP4
    Video Format: MPEG-4 Improved
    Image Size 1280X720 HD
    Preseve Aspect Ratio using Fit Within Size
    Frame Rate: 29.97
    Key Frame: Automatic
    Resync Markers
    Yes, I also tried one using the H264 option at the larger 1920 x 1080 HD format which should be the native QT format according to the movie inspector properties and likewise it does not correctly in size and in fact is blurry.
    How does one take a .mov file and convert it so that it can be
    centered correctly, burned onto a DVD and play like a commercial DVD does.
    I have also tried Womble.com MPEG Video Wizard DVD 5.0 which does make a DVD which will play on a PC with the same incorrect video display image settings. It will not play on a DVD player.
    Thanks for your assistance.

    SOLUTION
    I discovered that the begining graphics of my video which were set at 1280 x 720 pixels were causing the entire video to be reduced in size. I recreated the opening graphics at 1920 x 1080 pixels added in about 90 frames of each graphic ( 3 seconds each ) and the video now converts to mpeg4 at 1280 x720 pixels filling the video screen.
    Later on I will test it at the full 1920 HD conversion and report back what I find.

  • Video Pixelation occurs while recording the video using flash player

    Hello,
    I am recording the video using flash player 9 ( using the
    flash media server 2.0 on the back end). Everything used to work
    fine in the past. The quality of the flv video was good. Now
    suddently, I have started seeing the pixelation in the recorded
    video (very poor video quality). Nothing has been changed in the
    code. However on the server side, I am not very sure if there is
    any windows update has taken place and have caused the problem with
    the codec on server.
    However my understanding is that when we record the video
    then flash player use its own codec not the flash media server.
    Can any one help me on how I can get rid of pixelation
    issues?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello Melissa,
    I might not be understanding the question right, but if you
    are using Flash
    Player 6, and the Flash Player 6 video player component, you
    can resize the
    video by resizing the component on the stage (just drag and
    make it larger).
    Let me know if that works for you.

  • Title and image at the beginning of video pixelated

    Am a bit puzzelled about a sudden pixelation of titles and still images at the beginning of a video. I'm working on a small video and would like to start it with a company logo (PSD file) and some simple text (made in FCP with the 'Text' effect). Before rendering everything looks good, but after rendering, the very first frame of the video (the title) becomes very pixelated. I've done this many times before and never had any issues, so really don't know what's going on.
    I read about the bug in FCP 7.02 with using still images at the beginning of a sequence (and then renaming all clips) - does this has something to do with it?
    Thanks.

    Hi there,
    All elements in EA always appear over the entire timeline...unless you tell them not to do so. Try using Display keyframes to show and hide elements over time.
    You can also use Opacity keyframes in the same way, or even position the image outside of the Stage bounds, if you prefer to do it one of those ways.

  • Why is my video pixelated when exporting from Premiere Pro?

    Hi,
    I'm a musician wanting to make some basic videos for YouTube. The videos will consist of an intro (logo, title etc) and audio playing over a still image which will last the duration of the song. I've edited the still image for the video within Photoshop (CS5.1). The image is of a woman screaming and is intentionally very dark. When I export this image from Photoshop, the quality is excellent. When I then import this image into Premiere Pro (CS5.5) and export as the finished video, the quality of the image is significantly reduced and is rather pixelated. After spending hours searching online and trying different settings to achieve the result I want, I've had no luck, and I'm now in desperate need of a professional opinion. Is it possible to get the same quality image within the exported video as I get from an exported Photoshop file?
    Things I've tried:http://www.ashmathos.com/Musici
    Photoshop - Exporting image using different file types - .tif , .PNG , .PSD  etc
    Premiere Pro - Exporting video using different formats - .FLV , Quicktime and MPEG4
                        - Changing the Capture format between DV and HDV
                        - Different presets - AVCHD, HDV, DV - PAL/NTSC etc
    Both the image exported from Photoshop and the video are 1080p (square pixels)
    An example of what I've explained can be found here:
    http://www.ashmathos.com/Musician/Test
    (The video can be found below the image)
    To any responders,
    Thank you!

    Can't you see how the video is pixelated? Mainly around the nose and forehead?
    Nope.  Looks fine when I watch it.

  • ATV2 Video pixelated and audio skipping

    I don't think this is the same as the flickering issue or the frame dropping issue discussed by others. Thus, the new thread.
    When streaming videos (movies or TV shows) from itunes to the ATV2 the picture will get pixelated with the missing portions turning green. The video will continue but the audio skips (exactly like a needle on a record player skipping back). If I exit the video to the menu then resume, the video plays fine for awhile until the problem arises again. To give you an example of the frequency, it happened about a dozen times during one 40 minute episode.
    All software is updated to the latest versions and all hardware has been restarted. Content is encoded using handbrake using the ATV2 preset and then passed through MetaX for tags. The setup is as follows: stored on DROBO->firewire->iMac->802.11n(5Ghz)->Airport Extreme->ethernet->ATV2.
    Anyone else having this problem?
    Thanks!

    Haven't been able to see a pattern yet. I can watch a recently encoded movie (1-2hrs) without it happening once, but like I mentioned, it happened 12 times during a single 40 minute tv show. Both were encoded using same version of handbrake and ATV2 preset.
    How do these two files compare in terms of total average data rate?

  • Final video pixelated after compression

    Hello,
    I am sort of new to this but seemed to have found a system that works, but for some reason my latest video is pixelated after compression for vimeo.
    I am following the exact same steps as I do for all of my videos and I have never had a problem.
    I have shot it on a Canon 5D mark III / 1920X180 / 25FPS
    I convert it to apple pro res 422 for progressive material
    I drag it into final cut
    I export it as quicktime file
    I then drag into compressor and  use the vimeo recommended settings that I use on all of my videos
    final video is very pixelated
    I will attach the process in screen shots below and hopefully someone can point out where I am going wrong.
    Thank you!

    It is kind of hard to tell what is going on from your screen shots, but a couple of things:
    It's been a while since I used that version of Compressor, but you are resizing (correctly) the 1080 source to 720, and I believe there are settings for "Best" available to make the resize as high quality as possible.
    The 5 Mbits data rate seems low to me. The Vimeo guidelines specify a rate between 5 and 10 Mbits for 720p, I'd set it to average at 8 and peak at 10. The scene with the ocean is a really tough scene to compress, because there is so much motion, throughout the frame, that it might be lowing the quality there to keep to the 5Mbits target.
    Compression works by finding areas of the image where there is little or no difference from frame to frame - so a locked off shot of a person giving a speech at a lectern is much easier to compress than a scene with an ocean where there is  movement and change on a frame by frame basis.

  • Videos pixellated

    Hi, I have a BIG problem with my videos..
    I don't know hot to explain, but during editing and also after exported my video I noticed that there are some pixels as big as my head, and the quality is awful.
    here's a screenshot:
    [img]http://s15.postimg.org/8fzvrq2fv/Schermata_2015_02_06_alle_23_11_52.png[/img]
    I record my videos with a reflex, Nikon D5100, and I don't know if it's a camera, SD, mac or program problem (I'm using Final Cut Pro X), but I really don't know what to do.. I had the same problem with another compact camera and with iMovie.
    I need to upload HD videos on my channel, since they are about makeup and most of them are close-ups, and this problem it's very annoying.
    I hope some of you can help me
    Thanks!

    Can you show how it should look to compare it to yours?
    Also it could be some kind of monitor issue, have you tried with other one?
    I apologize that imageshack seems to have drastically lowered the quality of my images.  It does seem very hard to distinguish between what's refresh distortion from taking a photo of a computer, what's jpeg artifacts, and what's the actual issue, but I assure you the problem is still visible.
    Here's how it should look
    http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/3350/picture003wt.jpg
    Here's a copy of the original picture with the 'x' shaped lines emphasized.  I have drawn arrows pointing to the problem, which manifests as two straight diagonal lines forming an 'x' across the color picker.
    http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/3558/linesx.jpg
    I'll point out that this problem appeared to be linked to specific colors.  I noticed it in both 2D images and 3D games.  The photo is just there to show that with all the available colors displayed on a color picker, the problem manifested itself in a distinct pattern relative to some colors.
    And no, I haven't tried it with another monitor.  Like I said, the problem spontaneously fixed itself halfway through writing the original post so I couldn't test it.  I'm posting here mainly because it's the third video problem I've seen so far that's been listed in this article as a symptom of bad video ram.  Of course it's hard to isolate these problems because they seem to come and go.  Occasionally it'll get really bad, then after a restart it'll be fine for a week or two.
