Video quality poor after saving

I'm using Soundbooth CS4 on a Mac and when saving a video/audio file the video is really poor quality, blurry etc. I'm exporting using the compression guidelines for vimeo (http://vimeo.com/help/compression), as that is where I'm planning on uploading to. I've tried saving as an .mp4 and .mov and had the same problem with both. Has anyone had the same problems?

AT&T delivers U-verse service over a fiber-to-the-node
It is important to note this is not a cable modem as you stated. Cable modems work of Docsis technology. You have Fiber which I would take over Docsis any day. You should have very good internet. Yes 6MB Down is just fine for streaming Netflix. You can stream good quality at less if it was the case.
The problem could be local. You mentioned the laptop is fine but the apple tv gets worse. Are both on WiFi? If yes then check the signal strength of the Apple TV vs. the PC when you see this happening. It could be possible but not likely that you are getting wifi interference. Possibly from a phone or house hold appliance. This also could depend on your country and the default channels. Try connecting the Apple TV via ethernet if you can and see then if the same thing happens.
Good Luck

Video quality poor after placing into timeline, don't know why?

I've done some screen capture with Camtasia on a Windows machine. When I import it into FCP X the quality is fine when viewing prior to placing into the timeline. After I put it in the timeline I find that while editing that the video playback is now blurry, as is the exported media. I'm not sure what's causing this, can someone help?
Thanks in advance.
B

I set the Playback to High Quality and that didn't help. Thanks for the tip! I'll continue to dig into this problem. What's odd is that my first few projects with learning how to use FCP I used GoPro output and I never saw this issue, but that is HD output.
Thanks,
B

After IOS7 video quality poor on iphone4s

Hi,
anyone else noticed the video quality blurry on iphone 4s after ios7? snapped a few seconds of video out with the dog yesterday, uploaded it and its dreadfull!
never had any issues before, camera seems okay, but video quality is lousy!
any ideas? anyone else having the same?
aside from that ios 7 seems okay.
thanks

I have experienced the same problem recently, without having made any changes whatsoever to my Handbrake settings. Very strange - streaming quality went from excellent to horrible. The only possible factor, as referred to elsewhere, may be that I upgraded to 9.4v of HB. Yet, even then I did not fiddle with any settings, did not use ATV Legacy (note as problematic elsewhere), did not enable CABAC (also problematic). Verified post-conversion settings of many of my movies in iTunes and there is no difference. Network is as strong as ever. Did, however, recently upgrade ATV software - could this be a related issue?

Last-minute help! Video quality drops after burn

I'm exporting a video out of FCP using Compressor, saving directly to the DVD format for burning inside DVD Studio Pro. When I preview the video inside DSP, it looks amazing. After I finish burning the disc and view it in DVD Player, the video quality looks horrible.
See a screenshot here:

The one on the left is DVD Player, the one on the right is the preview inside DSP.
Any advice? This is actually ridiculously last-minute... Any help would be hugely appreciated

I have been having simliar trouble, esp. with textured backgrounds in the video.
Specifically, someone sitting in a board room delivering a short message (2 minutes) on camera. The background is a textured wood panel with a continuously changing color gradient.
I encode in Compressor, NTSC lower field, 2-pass VBR, 6.1 Mbps avg., 7.2 Mbps max., AIF audio. I have also tried a number of bit rate variations including CBR and AC3 audio.
I drop the clip in a DVDSP track and it looks fine in simulator. Also open the m2v in QT Pro, it looks fine.
After building, I check the TS_Folder in Apple DVD Player, and the background pulses, shifting from light to dark and is filled with artifacts. It looks even worse on a set-top player.
I have had problems like this a number of times, and end up having to use other programs on Windows to get around it. Kind of a pain.
Has anyone else seen anything like this?

Horrible final video quality in After Effects CS6 when rendering a 1920x1080 video with H.264 format

I've been using After Effects CS6 on my Macbook Pro for over a year now with no issues. However, today when I exported a video to be rendered in 1920x1080p with H.264 format, I got the worst quality final video I've ever seen. I filmed my video files in 1920x1080p (like usual), and I clicked all the same buttons I normally do to export a video, but every HQ video I try to export looks horrible. I haven't clicked any crazy buttons or anything out of the ordinary.
I always export a video following this sequence:
File > Export > Add to Render Queue > Lossless > H.264 (quality format) > video output (make sure it's checked) > audio output (make sure it's checked) > OK > Output to Desktop
My render settings are always set as "best settings" including "full" resolution and "best" quality.
Now, when I click H.264, a "settings mismatch" pops up and says:
"Warning: Output file will be resized from 1920x1080 (1.00 PAR) to 320x1080 (6.00 PAR) to meet format constraints"
The rendering quality and playback quality within After Effects is great, but once the video is exported, it is horrible.
PLEASE HELP?! I have deadlines I need to meet!

Use the H.264 encoding presets in Adobe Media Encoder.
The H.264 export features in After Effects have been removed in later versions because of numerous problems.

Automatic/Immediate print of quality notification after saving

Hi,
Checked numerous posts avialable on this requirement but after following the suggestion still facing the issue.
Requirement is right after saving a quality notification print should be triggered.
Following settings are in place:
In Quality Notification print control
-> Define Shop papers, Forms, Print programs (1. defined shop papers and assigned print programs 2. Assigned shop papers to notification types)
-> Define Printer ( here under user-dependent print control with wild card * entries chose Print Now option)
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ragahva

Hi Raghava,
If you have configured the notification print control setup correctly, then the next step to get a notification printed is to select the right shop floor paper and print it. To do that please select - QM02/QM03 => Notification => Notification
Now select the appropriate Printer and the document you wish to get printed and print it manually.
Please note that any notification type can have more than more than one Shop Floor Paper selected to be printed. If you wish to automate it based on User details, then I think you may need to work with the below exit -
QQMA0014 QM/PM/SM: Checks before saving a notification
Please note that you have to put a logic there to read the user's credentials and print the notification while saving. You can take clues form the below thread too -

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.

Video Quality Poor???

In ichats prefs click on video and change bandwidth limit to NONE.
Restart iChat.

Video quality poor including titles

I purchased this product to try something different.
I normally use another video editor.
I love everything about the program except when it burns to DVD.
When I burn it, the quality is horrible.
And I've read the other forums regarding the size/resolution of the photo's.
The quality is even poor on the titles pieces that the program itself uses.
Any suggestions?

Video quality poor under iTunes 10

I have a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 and I downloaded and installed iTunes 10 just yesterday (Sept 1). Now videos that I purchased as recently as a couple of days ago have vertical distortion lines. I've seen that kind of distortion before, though never on a Mac and it's usually due to some sort of resolution mismatch, but that would be hardware whereas I'm pretty confident that this issue is related to iTunes 10.
Any ideas? Does anyone know if 10.1 is just around the corner?
Thanks,
Rob

I'm having the exact same problem. Watched a movie last night on iTunes 9, and it was just fine. Upgraded this morning, and watched an HD podcast I down loaded after the upgrade. It was horrid. Heavy pixelation and I had the same experience that pixelation only went away on mouse-over. I was curious and opened the movie I watched last night, the quality has dramatically decreased. Same with all previously purchased SD and HD content. I'll make no more purchases until this is fixed. Great job when one of the new features being hyped is HD TV rental.

YouTube Video quality poor

Also the same Facebook video not playing in safari As It's required adobe flash player which doesn't support in iPad :( .

Video quality dropping when saving in Imovie08

Hello,
I've recently bought a Canon Hv30 Videocamera, and when recording in 25p and normal mode, It looks really good when i load it in to Imovie08, but when the movie is finished at I convert it to a quicktime file, the quality drops considerably.
Do I need some codecs or a better program?
- Elias

In the "Export using QuickTime" window, there is an options button next to the pull-down menu ("Movie to QuickTime movie") at the bottom. After you click on it, click on the Video button and you can set the compression level for your finished movie. No compression will mean the sharpest picture but also the largest file size.

FaceTime quality poor after ISP change

Hi.
My mother and I both own an iPad 2 and we were thoroughly enjoying using FaceTime to make up for the hundreds of miles we live apart in the UK. It worked brilliantly, but then my folks changed their ISP and now it works atrociously - where we consistently had clear audio and smooth video we now have stuttering sound and slideshow images. This happens between me and her when using both my iMac and my iPad, and also between her and my sister who uses an iPhone 4.
They were given a new router as they were told their old one would not work with the new ISP. My network-savvy brother-in-law tried changing some settings when he was visiting but it didn't make any difference. She complained to the ISP who sent her another router but still FaceTime is poor.
What's most annoying is that her previous ISP was Madasafish, who are a sub-brand of her new ISP PlusNet so we don't see why there should be this problem. (I'm with TalkTalk.)
Does anybody have any suggestions for what we could do to sort this out? It's so frustrating as it was working so well before.
Could it just be router settings, or could there possibly be a greater problem to do with incompatibilities or inefficiencies between certain ISPs using certain protocols?
Thanks!

Okay, yet again I've managed to suss out my own community question! I'm currently visiting my folks so thought I'd have a play. Turns out it was a combination of DNS and wifi settings.
Looking at the DNS settings on the router, according to the connection status the ISPs DNS wasn't available, but I couldn't change it manually. So I just changed it on both my mum's and my iPad to the Googles public DNS settings.
The new router was set to automatic wifi channel and automatic wifi type, so I manually set it to channel 6 and 802.11g instead of a/b/g/n. I know that 802.11n offers a slightly faster connection and that the iPad 2 can use it, but I think g does the job fine and is usually fairly stable. My folks previous router was just b/g so I thought it best to set it to that.
And hey presto, it works great again, including when testing connecting to my sister on her iPhone 4.
Hope this info is useful to others.
Cheers.

Video quality awful after editing with iMovie

Hope someone can help.
When i edit gopro camera footage in iMovie the quality is awful after exporting finalized clips/footage.
If i play the clip imported directly from the camera it appears in crystal clear HD. As soon as i do anything with it it degrades to the point where it almost looks like a 'negative 'shot.
Any help greatly appreciated.

1. Ask on the iMovie forum, that's the best place for iMovie help.
2. When you get there, ask about export settings. Sounds like that's where the issue is.

Very poor video quality after transcoding in Adobe Encore CS5.1

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I have very poor video quality after transcoding the video file (MPEG) in Adobe Encore CS5.1. Below you see my used settings in my filmproject.
The problem exists after transcoding in Adobe Encore CS5.1. I checked all steps and found out that there is no problem until transcoding. My exported file in MPEG has very good video and audio quality.
Facts:
1. Camcorder: Panasonic AG-AC160AEJ
Operating System : Windows 7, 64 Bit, Ultimate edition
Source files: MTS files
Recording settings (clip settings):
Type: MPEG Movie
Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Frame Rate: 25,00
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1,0
2. Sequence settings in Premiere Pro
Sequence was created from Clip directly with settings above.
3. Exporting settings in Adobe Premiere Pro:
Match sequence settings was activated. Now other changes were set.
4. Exported File:
Video
Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Data Transfer Rate: 25920 kBit / s
Frame rate: 25
Audio:
Bit rate: 384 kBit / s
Channels: 2 (stereo)
Frequence: 48 kHz
5. Transcoding settings in Adobe Encore:
I used different transcoding settings such as automatic DVD Transcoding, CBR and VBR.I also set “use maximum render quality”. But all results were always the same: very poor quality.
Why does the encore transcoding cause such bad video quality?
How can I solve this problem?
Please help me soon.
Best regards.

Hi Ann,
1) I did not only „Automatic (based on source)“ options in my tests, but also many other customized options.
The results are very poor. I have done a new test with the following settings. The result is also poor:
Download link: http://www.klavierlehrer-bayern.de/download/test_mpeg2dvd_1.m2v
Export Settings:
Format: MPEG2-DVD
Preset: Custom
Codec: MainConcept MPEG Video, Quality: 5
Frame Rate: 25 fps
Field Order: Upper
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Automatic (based on source)
Render at Maximum Rate: [active]
Bitrate Encoding: VBR, 2 pass
Minimum Bitrate (Mbps): 5
Target Bitrate (Mbps): 9
Maximum Bitrate (Mbps): 9
GOP Settings
M Frames: 4
N Frames: 12
Use Maximum Render Quality: [active]
Multiplexer: None
2) Why shouldn’t I use the “Match Sequence Settings” in exporting? Because of the big output file size?
I used it and the results are very good as I expected:
Download link: http://www.klavierlehrer-bayern.de/download/test_MatchSequenceSettings.mpeg
Export Settings
Match Sequence Settings [selected]
1920 x 1080, 25 fps, Upper, Quality 50
User Maximum Render Quality: [active]
3) I tried also Dynamic Link in PremierePro (to Encore).
The results are also poor.
4) I will test also LagarithLoslessCodec and frameserving +DGMPGDec. But the video is vertical long drawn-ot.
I think I did not use it correctly.
Regards
