Video resolution with Sony Alpha 7 is very bad

Hi!
The Videoresolution in PSE 13 Organizer is very bad. Looks like the Videos were made with a cheap mobile-phone.
Video playback works fine with every other Programm on my PC, for example VLC or Media Player, but when i try to view these Videos with PSE 13 they look awful - unsharp and blurry - same in Premiere Elements 13.
Have already tried to install Codec-Pack for Win 7, but no changes.
Maybe PSE uses a wrong codec? If so, how can i change this?
Camera is Sony Alpha 7, OS is Win 7, Graphichs card is CPU-built-in Intel-HD3000(don´t know if this matters?) with newest Drivers.
File extension is .mts, format is AVCHD (1920*1080) full HD.
*edit: maybe it´s helpful if i mention that CPU load is about 30-40% in PSE 13 compared to ~6% when using VLC or Media Player when playing these videos.
I would be grateful for any suggestions.
edit*
after some research:
let me clarify the problem: is there ANY WAY TO CHOOSE THE CODEC PSE 13 uses for videos??

Hi,
It is by design and we have no option to change it.
However, we can use Pan Control to enlarge and move around the screen.
Pan Control: The pan control enables the screen to be enlarged and moved around.
Enable the pan control: Tap the pan icon in the connection bar to display the pan control and zoom the screen.
Use the pan control: Tap and hold the pan control and then drag in the direction you want to move the screen.
Move the pan control: Double tap and hold the pan control to move the control on the screen.
Disable the pan control: Tap the pan icon in the connection bar to return the screen to its original resolution.
Thanks for your understanding.

How to import and edit a 3D video made with Sony HDR-TD10E camcorder, with .MVC file?

How to import and edit a 3D video made with Sony HDR-TD10E camcorder, with .MVC file?
I have PremierePro-CS5 installed.
This stereo 3D camcorder (Sony HDR-TD10E), output an .MVC (MultiViewCoding) file, coded in H.264 format.
This format is already compatible with Bluray3D stereoscopic format.
1) But, how to edit the .MVC in Premiere?
2) What plugin should I use (if exists) for PremiereProCS5?
3) Cineform Neo3D, can manage the .MVC format? Can convert it to Cineform format file, for import it into Premiere?
4) What software should I use to convert an .MVC video to an AVCHD H.264 file, and import it into PremierePro CS5 or CS5.5 for editing?
Thanks!

Sorry, I am Italian, it is very difficult for me to understand what he says!
I can just read the english text, or follow the actions of a videotutorial!
Thus my question is the same:
-What software can do that?
-Sony Vegas 10 do the Bluray3D authoring?
-For MVC editing, should I wait for Adobe CS6? Or is it planned an update for CS5.5?

Error message: "Warning: unresponsive script". Afterward, the system freezes and will then crash. Crash reports have been submitted many, many times without response. I have tried the fore-mentioned solutions with either no results or very bad results which I filed a report but did not receive an answer. The application to block scripts actually worsened the problem and I could not correct the situation for a while (no response from Firefox, at all). I have also been through this procedure without any one contacting me, AT ALL.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://http://www.facebook.com (always) and www.YouTube.com (sometimes)

There does appear to be any support whatsoever from mighty "non caring" FIREFOX & people are getting fed up. We may as well try another system, if they can't be bothered to provide any support for their system, we can't be bothered to use their system.

Video project saved to MPEG 4 has very bad quality

I need instruction for saving in MPEG 4 because when I saved the project in MPEG 4 the quality is terrible what am i doing wrong? - I saved the same project in QuickTime and quality looked very good.

I was just able to produce a good quality video, but when I made a small change and used the same settings, it turned out very bad. I have been messing with the settings but I cannot re-produce the same quality video I just created.
The settings I did were H.264 MOV:
Frame Rate - Current fps
Key Frames - Every 24 with Frame Reordering checked
Compressor - Quality at Best with Encoding as Best (Multi-pass)
Data Rate - Automatic.
I do not have a preview anymore. I did when it produced the good quality version, but now I do not get a preview. I used these EXACT settings and it produced great quality, but I simply cut out the last 1 second of the video and it produces crappy quality again. I even restarted FCE, used the same source (the MOV), made NO changes, and used these settings again but the quality is worse now.

Video demonstration shows OK by itself but very badly when inserted into the project

Hello,
I have a problem with video demonstrations/simulations. When I record them, and convert into mp4 format they look great, but when I insert it into my Captivate Project the quality is too poor. One cannot even read the text Captions properly. I have tried to resize the video window, to load the flv file.. But useless. Can someone give me a hint about what might be wrong???
Thank you!
Paloma

Hello there,
If I am right, you are inserting the published output (in .mp4) of Video demo into another Captivate project.
What output are you publishing from another project?
and is it a multi slide synchronized video or event video in the new project?
you can also check the quality of every slide under slide properties and increase that to 24 bit to improve the quality.
If you are publishing .swf, you can also go to edit >preferences>SWF size and quality>make that to custom and uncheck Advanced Project compression and compress SWF file.
Please check whether that helps.
Thanks.

Unable to print to video, out to Sony V1U

Wedding video shot with Sony V1U, HDV 1080i 16x9. Imported into FCEHD3.5, using easy set up hdv 1080 AIC. total movie length 100minutes. Edited fine. Exported as a QT movie self contained to desk top, no problem. Then attempted to export from the time line the entire sequence. The FCE is pretty easy to export from and set the sony v1u to HDV import with both auto and HDV settings. It is in VTR mode. I checked the render again and it was complete. saved the project. Closed FCEHD. connected fire wire from cam to computer and powered up cam with what appear to be the correct setting according to the manual. Opened FCEHD and project. Rechecked render, resaved project and chose print to video. Went through the next screen as I normally do and have tried with both automatic record start and manual record start. Clicked start and the computer does its job and the video starts but the camera does not appear to ever be controlled by the computer. I let it run for about 30 minutes to see if it needed time to change from Mpeg2 back to HDV. Maybe I did not wait long enough for the number crunching before I gave up.
Question 1: What am I doing wrong.
I tried to export a SD movie and it worked fine.
I tried to send it to IDVD from the QTmovie.fcp file on the desk top but it immediately shuts down IDVD. I tried to import into ImovieHD and it gave me a QT error. I thought maybe imovie had a time limit so I re-exported the movie in to sections as FCP and then dragged and dropped into imovie and it worked. The resolution is much worse in imovie as compared to the great video in FCEHD.
Question 2: Am I losing quality as I move from HDV to FCEHD ( I would assume so as it is going to Mpeg2), and even more when I go then from FCEHD to imovie.
Question 3: When I print to tape from fce back to my original hdv setting it should convert back to hdv correct?
Any advide would be appreciated.
Thanks, Steve

Purchased IDVD8 and problem solved

Is it possible that the Video sharing with wifi in...

Hi everyone:
If there any method to let video sharing work without 3G.
when I'm home, it will be more cheap and it will get more bandwidth from wifi rather than the 3G data connections.
Is there any body konw the method of configuration of video sharing with wifi?
Thank you very much.

You might also consider consulting an optometrist or physical therapist. It's possible that you're squinting without realising it or otherwise tensing up your face and neck muscles, either of which could easily cause puffy eyes and quite possibly skin irritation. I strongly doubt that it's any radiation from the screen itself. There are no magnetic fields from an LCD screen, and no more infrared radiation than from your TV and far less than any sunlit window.

I have this option from right click menu - Convert to Mpeg 2
and save.
By the way, does your CD comes with Sony Vega program?
This one is able to open Sony's raw file format and export to
very nice
quality mpeg that works superb in flash. I did lots of video
using Vega,
to adjust the sharpness, color contrasts and all, before
start exporting and
down sizing...

How can I download video HDV minicassette footage from my sony video camera with no fire wire port?

Hi,
Are you talking about your computer which has no firewire port ? If YES you can have one of two options:
(a) Use FCI - Firewire card like this (preferred)
You can buy from this:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-Ports-PCI-Express-PCI-E-IEEE-1394A-Firewire-Adapter-Cable-Card-/1507023...
(b) You can also use USB-Firewaire adapter like this:

I have an imac 27 inch O SX 10.6.8. using iphoto 11 Version 9.1.5. I have scanned some photos at very high resolution with each photo being about 45MB. They're saved to desktop. How can I reduce the size of the scanned photo's they are crashing iphoto

I have an imac 27 inch O SX 10.6.8. using iphoto 11 Version 9.1.5. I have scanned some photos at very high resolution with each photo being about 45MB. They're saved to desktop. How can I reduce the size of the scanned photo's they are crashing iphoto.

What format are they? Tiif? Jpeg? You can compress them with a lot of apps - including Preivew and just about any graphics editor out there. I'm not sure that 45mb would crash iPhoto thogh, are yo sure that's the cause? I know that some folks have mentioned pixel dimensions causing issues, as can color profiles.

How to export a video with an alpha channel that can be switched off

Hi!
I'm stuck with something that I think might have a simple solution:
I need my video to have an alpha channel while still keeping all the RGB information in place too. This is for Syntheyes, which can take the alpha channel for a video and use it as a garbage matte while tracking.
The problem is that if I draw a mask around my video and then export as a PNG (with alpha), the RGB information seems to be gone even when I choose to ignore the alpha channel. I know how to edit the alpha channel in Photoshop while still keeping the RGB elements untouched, but how should I do that in AE?
Any help will be appreciated!

Okay I will answer my own question:
This worked as soon as I did a proper export as a PNG image sequence. I did my tests with only single frames by using the "save frame as file" -function, which did not work properly (the rbg information was gone).
So the simple solution to this question was:
Draw a mask on the video layer and export with alpha. The RGB will be there, even though the mask hides it in AE.
