Video quality changing at export

I import a high q movie file, .mov to final cut x.
My goal was just to swtich out the audio file (one song for another), but EVEN when I just import the file and export it without doing anything to it two things happen:
1- Loose video quality, noticable in colors and crispness of the image
2- It changes the video proportions some what. So it keeps the same height but it grows longer.
HELP!
#)(*&$()*#&)$(*&_@

This is so embarrasing!
I'm doing that, but it adds it to the beginging of the movie, or the end, so it doesn't play the new track with the movie at all...
Help....

Keynote Video Quality Deteriorates when exported to IMovie

How does one export a keynote presentation to IMovie without losing the video quality? It is extremely blurry after export. Or how does one "clean up" the quality, after it becomes blurry?

Is that the only way to transfer keynote animated videos to imovie? Use something else besides IMovie??? I thought the new apple program was supposed to be able to do these "basic" kinds of things really well, in a user friendly way.
How do I get Final Cut, and will I be able to use it as a neophyte?

IMovie sound quality changes after export and is terrible

when i export my imovie the sound quality becomes bad and sounds like my speakers are blown but their not, it sounds perfectly fine in imovie but after its exported it changes to worse, anyone know how to fix this?

Check your audio levels. and if necessary, reduce the levels so that the audio stays under the 0 DB line. If you have audio that is yellow or red, reduce the level. This video shows an example of how to do this. Click on the video All New Audio Editing."

Video quality changes when imported into Final Cut Pro

I have video files that I have imported from an external hard drive that were transferred from an HD camera. When viewing the footage directly from the hard drive, the quality is great. Once imported into Final Cut Pro, however, there are small "flares" (don't know how else to describe them) that appear for split seconds across the screen. The best way to describe it is if you are watching a television that has an antenna, there will be static or interferance on the image. This is barely noticable but I can't determine what would cause the decline in quality. My video settings are set to DV NTSC 48 kHz and wonder if this is the problem or if anyone knows of something else that I should change prior to importing.

Thank you so much for your help! I am technically challenged and STRUGGLING to say the least.
Some files are definitely H.264 and I can convert them to ProRes. I also have clips that are
DVCPRO HD 1080p25, 1,440 x 1,080 (1,888 x 1,062)
Linear PCM, 16 bit big-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 48000 Hz
Current Size: 1,440 × 810 pixels
Will I need to do anything to those as well?
Here is the question I'm afraid to ask because I think I know the answer already. Can I simply replace the clips in my sequence with the newly compressed ProRes files or do I have to change all of the video and sequence settings and then start all over?

Photo quality change after exporting

Hello
I'm working on a short film project that should be made from photos not videos (so photos are critical in this iMovie project), but after exporting the movie ( in HD) I found out that the photos' quality were reduced?
Most of the photos are darky, with dark backgrounds, they look good enough in iMovie but after exporting they look lighted up, which ruins my movie.
What should I do??
Thanks in advance

That is odd, I have not been aware of any drop in camera quality via an update with this model. With this being the case I would advise running the update again and choosing the "Repair" option.

Video quality downgrade after uploading to Youtube

Hey everyone, I've just started making movies and been playing around with video options for a few days and gotten past a few major milestones, however I just want to see how I can increase the video quality as the exported file doesn't look nearly as good once it's uploaded to youtube.
Quick notes about how I do it atm: First, I use FRAPS to capture video with Adobe Premiere 4.0 exporting my files as full 1900x1200 @ 29.97 FPS using the Windows Media Video 9 codec.
Encoding process: Two
Bitrate mode: Variable Unconstrained
Pixel Aspect ratio: Square
Decoder Complexity: Auto
Keyframe Interval [seconds]: 5
Average Bitrate[kbps]: 10,000
Exported video looks fine, however when I upload to youtube the quality really downgrades...viewable and correct resolution but still crummy for such a great looking vid. Hoping someone can help me out here! Thanks in advance.
Source video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avzzkywqRcE

First, I would do a Search on this forum for "FRAPS." There are several articles with comments on the best workflow and also settings for Import and for Export.
Next, YouTube is trobulesome. First, they re-encode everything and their specs seem to change weekly. It's tough to find out what they want on any given day. I'd go to their site and get the very latest instructions and attempt to duplicate those perfectly, knowing that they might be different tomorrow.
Good luck with this one, and good luck with the FRAPS footage.

IMovie - Poor Video Quality when exporting to "Projects"

Hi - I'm using iMovie 11' and once I move my video (HD) from "Events" to "Projects" my video quality becomes very poor and the video is cropped. I have changed my setting to have it "fit frame" but the problem still exists. Thoughts?

@Harm,
"Pear-shaped" (or sometimes "fruit-shaped") is a euphemism meaning that the effort has gone awry; it was a mess.
@John,
Export to DVD is a PPro 2.0 function; in CS3 it is now Export to Encore. Is that what you meant?
First thing is to check the field orders of your source material and of your export settings. Don't invert them, and don't deinterlace interlaced footage.
Perhaps a short list of the settings you have tried (and why you chose those settings) would help us help you.

How can I keep the quality of an MP4 video high when I export an interactive PDF from InDesign?

I am making an Interactive PDF with embedded MP4 video using InDesign. When I view the video in the PDF it has degraded the quality and the colour contrast is poorly affected. I can have the video as a floating window but this gives a harsh black line around the video when it plays which is not acceptable.
Can anyone advise how to maintain the quality of the original video when it is embedded?

You can control the quality of the video (aspect ratio, pixel dimensions, frames/minute, etc.) by using the Adobe Media Encoder which comes with InDesign CS5 or later installations, including InDesign CC. InDesign only includes what you have placed and passes it on to the PDF file. There are no video quality controls in InDesign.
You cannot change the way Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader displays the MP4. If you don't like the way Acrobat/Reader handles display of a floating window, then you'll have to display it within the page. For more info, inquire in the Rich Media Acrobat forum.

Poor video quality when exporting from Adobe Premiere

Hey, I was just wondering if there was anyone here that could help me with this problem I am having with Adobe Premiere Pro.
I have used it to edit a movie together with MOV video files from my iPhone 3GS which are of decent quality but everytime I try to export it, the video quality is degraded significantly from the original. I have tried several different export options but none seem to do the trick.
Also, exporting with DivX just gives me an audio file with no video so I have been unable to try that.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

How do I fix poor video quality when exporting from Keynote to iMovie

I went through Keynote to create a movie from a PowerPoint (including a soundtrack) but the video quality is very poor in the final product. Is there a way to fix this?

file > export > Quicktime > custom > then select one of the codecs: MPEG-4, standard DV, HDV, AVCHD, Apple Intermediate Codec and use full size in the options.

Exporting To GarageBand and Final Video Quality

I need to export a Keynote slideshow to Garageband to add a soundtrack and I need to have the best quality video possible. Does it matter what size slide I start with when creating the presentation?
I would create the slideshow in iPhoto or iDVD for better video quality, but I need to add titles, graphics, etc to some of the slides.

because it is rendered, i have clicked on "sequence -> render audio" and nothign happens, it just plays through like it would once it has finished rendring.
like i said, it plays fine in playback, most of the time, just not after it has been exported

I make videos using my go pro hd camera, but when i export it only half of my 3 min video shows up with the audio playing in the background, plus when i try to select the quality in the export options it won't let me select 720p or 1080p?????? help!!!

What you could do now is break up your video into smaller parts and render them out, then assemble them again as a whole.
I know this is not the best fix, but it might work.
You can duplicate an edit in the main screen, then delete the last bits and export,
do the same for the other half.
Then import the two bits (or more if you need) in a new edit.
Out of curiosity, can you post what format the video is in?
Copy a video straight from the camera to your computer.
Open it in Quicktime player, and with out playing type Apple + i
or Control + i for PCs
It should tell you lots of info about the video, and might help us to see what is wrong.
This is what it looks like:

Export DV Video Quality issue

I have a HDV project that looks great on the screen and when exported to DVD using quicktime, but the client needs it on DV tape. I'm exporting using Print to Tape via firewire to my Sony FX-1 camera using DV settings, but the video quality is awful. A moving logo that looks great on the screen is pixillated and shots that look good of computer screens are unreadable on the tape. Any specific suggestions for video output settings, rendering options, etc. would be most appreciated. Oh, and I am also trying to export the 16 x 9 video as optimized for 4 x 3: could that be part of my problem?
Thanks.

OK, help me out here: I don't want to pretend to know something I don't: This is a 30 second spot going to the Virginia PBS stations for the state Dept. of Education, which is my employer. The caption house the DOE uses will be putting the spot on Beta SP, as that is the format the stations want it in. I'm just trying to get it onto tape so that it looks as good as it does on my screen. I don't really know what anamorphic means, and I'm just getting started using Compressor. I've gotten to the point where the pixellation that was happening before is gone, but I'd like the spots to retain the 16x9 look I shot them in, so I was thinking letterboxing.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, and the more detailed the instructions when using compressor the better. When I worked at a station there were other folks who helped me with this kind of thing, and I'm hoping to get a setting that works, create a profile for it, and move on.
Thanks to those of you who are being patient with me.

Exporting to ProRes...nothing happens when clicking "More Options" under Video Quality

When I tried creating a new export preset with any of the Apple ProRes codecs, under "Video Quality", when I click "more options" nothing happens.
Is this supposed to happen?
Also, I've created a few export presets for testing purposes. How do I delete the ones which I do not want in the drop-down menu?

Yes, I'm afraid that the behaviour with the "More Options" button is normal.
If you want to remove output settings you created, browse to the output-folder and just delete the ones you need. In my case (MacOSX.7.5) it is located here:
