Video took on iPhone 5 is choppy and poor quality after sync

Dear Apple Support Community,
Video that I take with my iPhone5 running the newest iOS runs crappy on my mac.  I sync my phone and upload all my pics and video to iPhoto and the video's picture is choppy and the frames skip, however the sound is unaffected.  I tried opening them in QuickTime and the same thing happens.  The video plays back on my phone with no problems.  Most of these videos are of my children and I really want them on my computer!  Thanks in advance guys/gals!!

James,
I have heard the same thing about processing power, but the answer was vague and no one has told me anything definitive yet. However, I a cant afford to buy a new iMac, as much as I dearly want a new one, but I did upload my pics and vids to my mother in laws iMac (almost two years old running Lion) and they worked just fine. Why does this happen?!?!?!?  I don't know. I thought maybe the OSX only allows iPhoto a certain amount of processor power, but I opened them in QuickTime and they produced the same choppy effect. Probably some bit of code they sneak into iOS to make one have to buy a new iMac/MacBook. I wish, for the both of us, I had a better answer. Anywho, good luck and Godspeed in all your endeavors.

  • HELP! Video in canvas is tiny and poor quality

    Help me! Im about to break something out of frustration and lack of knowledge.
    I started a project in FCP . Im not exactly the most knowledgeable when it comes to final cut so I didnt bother to change any of the sequence setting etc. I had a group of files, shot on a 5D mkII, which I had converted to ProRes. Looking at the files themselves in Finder, the quality was perfect. I imported the prores files into final cut and began editing my video. The files were good quality in the viewer but awful quality in the canvas. I stupidly soldiered on, thinking it was because it was just a preview. However, when i came to export it, the final result was equally as bad as in the canvas.
    I tried to find out what was wrong by looking around online and found I should have adjusted the sequence settings. I changed them to 1280x1080. However, now the video is still terrible quality and also much smaller in the canvas. Strangely enough, now that I have changed the sequence settings, everytime I drag one of the prores files onto my timeline, it appears full size and good quality on the canvas. All the stuff before it on the timeline is small and poor quality still. also, dragging prores files onto the timeline, it is now needing to render them before they will play.
    Is there someway I can get everything I have edited up to full quality? Or am I going to have to start again?
    Im not great at explaining myself i know. Any help would be massively appreciated

    If this helps, this is a screenshot. You can see the clip in the viewer is full size but the canvas is showing a smaller, poorer quality clip.

  • Cheaply manufactured product and poor quality assurance

    Where do i start with this falsely advertised "entertainment machine" HP calls the HDX 18T Premium Laptop.
    A month into purchase, the case of this laptop is bulging at certain areas (top of the screen which is collecting dust and overheating, and the fingerprint scanner / sound card area, causing me to have to push it down in order to hear out of the speakers or headphones). Even when the sound does work, the quality is horrible. Think of your favorite song or movie playing and in the background the sound of nails scratching on a chalkboard.  All the rubber stoppers have fell off because of cheap glue (leaving glue stains), the battery doesn't even last 30 minutes when the laptop is idle and now the charger is dead. Did i mention i payed $1,300 for all of these problems? Thank god i had a discount code or i would of paid $1,500 to get this rectangular piece of plastic.
    Ive contacted HP Total Waste of Time 3 times and spoke to numerous people over the phone and email. The information, troubleshooting, and resolutions i was presented with were as helpful as a chocolate teapot.
    All of these problems are due to cheap manufacturing and poor quality assurance on HPs part. These problems don't warrant a repair, but an exchange if not a refund for the amount i spent on this laptop and the numerous problems ive encountered with it.
    My last conversation over the phone with my case manager (sadly i didn't get his name) just toped my whole sour experience with HP regarding this laptop. Ive been a long time HP customer, buying 4 HP G60s and this HP laptop just last year alone and forwarded many people to HP. Saving $1000 and losing a long time customer is in the better interest of HP than exchanging a cheaply and poorly made product with countless problems. At least thats what your representatives have told me.
    No wounder HP took this laptop off their website only a couple months after it first shipped.

    My experience with HP is very annoying.
    My DV6 laptop had a broken right hinge and a loose mouse left click button. I sent it for repair and I got an email saying that the damage is not covered by the warranty, reason being... it was a damage due to accident or misuse. That really pissed me off. The notebook was never in an accident. About misuse, how can you misuse a mouse left click button and a hinge. The reason why the hinge broke was, it was set too tight. You need to apply more than a reasonable force to open it. I use Dell computer at work, never I had this problem. In fact my Dell laptop at work is one year older than this one.
    What makes the situation worse is the way the call center in India handled it. I called on a Saturday to find out the status of my laptop. The guy mention that it wasn't repaired for the stated reason. I asked for someone who has more authority so that I could appeal my case. He told me to call the following  Monday during office hours so that I can talk to a case manager. I called Monday, talk to a regular call center representative and requested to talk to a case manager. I was immediately informed that...that was the decision of the case manager. I told the rep to send it back immediately. I have no patience banging heads with a company who blames customers for the failure of their product. Yes, HP saved $292. Guess what, I will never buy HP product again.  Also, I will share my HP experience with my friends in Facebook, Tweeter etc. I know how this big companies think, we are just one of their thousands customers.

  • I updated my iPod Touch to 6.0.1. after much prompting. Now my music is gone! (along with apps, photos and podcasts). After syncing a bunch of times some of it came back, but not all of it. How odd is that? How can I get my music back on it??

    I updated my iPod Touch to 6.0.1. -- after much prompting from iTunes. Now my music is GONE (along with apps, photos and podcasts). After syncing a bunch of times some of it came back, but not all of it. How odd is that? How can I get my music back?? I'm really bummed! Everything shows in iTunes, but it's not synching right. So glad I updated. NOT.

    Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
    When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
    Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
    It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

  • Video upload from Iphone 5 to pc plays slow after few times in Quicktime player

    I uploaded a video from my Iphone 5 to my pc and in the beginning it played well
    But now if i try to play it plays really slow and chobby.. not good.
    Can't find any solution.

    However, when I go to play them back in the latest Quicktime player the colours are wrong, mainly coming out purple.
    On an XP system, the first thing I'd try would be the "Disable Direct3D acceleration in QuickTime" section of the following document. (iTunes uses QuickTime for video display, so the same basic troubleshooting step applies.) Restart the QuickTime Player prior to checking to see if the settings change has had any effect:

  • Export via Quick Time ends up being pixelated and poor quality

    I shoot my student film on an Arri S camera with 16mm color stock. I got my film back to me from the school on a DV tape and imported it into FCP HD on my camcorder. When I went to export it onto a DVD for my actors, the film looks horrible! The blacks are really pixelated and the colors aren't as crisp as they were on film. I was told that it should look the same because we made the movie on better equipment and FCP won't lessen that, but at the same time FCP can't make poor quality work any better. Can someone tell me how to export my film without losing the 16mm quality. I don't want it to look digital, I spent a lot to get the real film stock. Thanks!

    1- The film is 6 minutes long
    2- I don't know where to find out about the bit rates
    3- The audio is simple, just 48 khz stereo.
    When using DV format, what's the difference in DV, DVPRO, etc.?
    The movie was filmed 24 fps, but then put onto a dv tape for me, so I assume they transferred it at 29.97 fps. Should I now use NTSC or stick to PAL? Basically, anymore compression makes the film look really bad and unusable for festivals, which ultimately was the whole purpose of my blood, sweat, and tears behind this film.
    Thanks for all your help and any more questions you need answered to solve this problem I'd be more than happy to answer.

  • Titling issues - pixelated and poor quality

    Hello,
    I have been working on a project and finally finished.  Exported it and the quality is terrible.  I have determined it has something to do with the titling that I have in the video.  As when I put a title into its own sequence it has the same problem. Or if I just do the video it is just fine.   So for the purposes of figuring it out, I am working on a single title 5 seconds long, and been exporting.  So far I can't figure it out.  I have traditionally used still titles without movement....and dslr video.  This has always exported fine for me.  But now that I am trying to add a little motion in the title, it has caused me a lot of grief.
    Here is what I am trying to do with the title
    - Still Title that just says 'Black and White' with black background and white lettering.  Simple...
    - I have adjusted the keyframes under the scaling so that the title appears to be coming at you.  Small to Big (also tried the zoom effect, but didn't work either)
    - Have added the Fast Blur In effect - so that the words ' Black and White' are blurred and then come into focus using keyframes.
    Here is a image of kind of what it looks like.
    Thats it.  I have been very frustrated with this and would appreciate any help possible.  My sequence is DSLR 1080p 30fps preset.
    Thanks in advance.
    Dustin

    Thanks for your help!
    To make things a little easier, I have posted a video to vimeo to give you an idea of the pixelation on the title and the accompanying video.  Vimeo Password = adobehelp

  • Hi. My songs that I bought on my iphone does not show on purchaced after sync with my macbook pro. Some of the songs shows it has been downloaded ,but it has an x next to it and doesnt play. Thx

    Songs bought on iphone do not show up as purchased on my macbook pro after sync. Some songs bought on iphone show as downloaded but has an x next to it and cannot play. It play on my iphone though.

    The reason, I included the annotation that I'd upgraded my Itunes, (On my Computer) is B/C in many forums - the very first question, *HELPERS* ask, is. "Do you have the latest version of Itunes downloaded on your computer." I wanted to knock out any obvious replies.
    Now-  "DO YOU have any idea,"... how your UNHELPFUL remarks, do absolutely nothing but hurt others that might not have the EXPERIENCE you have? How do you expect people to know things without asking questions? Whew! RUDE!!

  • Itunes match sync album art work problem and poor quality art work issue

    Hi There,
    I have two issues with apple itunes and itunes match:
    I seem to have a number of albums with poor quality artwork, now i have gone through the removed downloaded artwork and the right click and select the art work toggle box to remove the art work, after doing this I then ask to get the album cover from Itunes indervidually and high quality art work is down loaded and looks great for around 10-20 minutes then it seems to update slowley and revert to the old poor quality art work. Any Ideas? A simular thing that happens is that some art work that ive added manually is deleted. I have also gone into the itunes folder and deleted the album art work folder to force it to download new art work. Is there any way to lock in the art work that you know is good?
    Itunes match after making changes to itunes albums I have then updated itunes match and my work is undone? This maybe complaations or album coers any ideas.
    I am using itunes version 11.01
    I have looked through the forum and read meany feeds about album covers but I havent found one that is reverting covers.
    Many thanks guys
