Work in low res?

Is it possible to work in a low res setting in livetype? It's soooo sloowwww.

Hi(Bonjour)!
Yes, go to edit menu--> project propertie. Select Quality-canvas: draft or wireframe. You can also select those setting for preview and movie render.
If the timing and moves are important in your sequence construction, use wireframe. The movements are almost in real time in the canvas..

  • Ideas and Suggestions for Working with Low Res Video Files

    Hi,
    A client has asked me to take all of her low res videos she shot with her iPhone and put them on a DVD.
    I've made her aware that the end result is not going to be a Hollywood production.  I even did a test for her to show the difference between a low res clip and a HD clip.  You can see these clips here:
    http://designerandpublisher.com/hs/lowrestest.mp4
    and
    http://designerandpublisher.com/hs/hdtest.mp4
    She understands and will fix her camera to shoot high-res next time.  Anyway, the footage (330 minutes) I have looks like this when imported into Premiere Pro CS4:
    I first just set up a 640x480 timeline and imported one of her clips.  It doesn't look too bad.  I'm not sure why that green bar is there:
    Then I went into the timeline's properties to see if I can somehow enhance it once it goes onto a DVD via Encore:
    But i'm not really sure if it's worth fiddling around with a customized timeline.  I don't have my hopes up though but I'd appreciate it if anyone could tell me what they did in this type of situation.  It seems like the 640x480 timeline, once brought into Encore and transcoded for the DVD, may work best.
    Any ideas are appreciated.  Thanks.

    I don't edit video from a cell phone, and you don't mention any particular problems loading/editing... but in case you do have general problems with any of the files, some reading to keep in mind

  • Swapping out source video - working with low res versions

    I have high-def sony m2t footage to edit.
    I create a prpro project with edits, and I want to send to a collegue to tweak it. No problem.
    However, I don't want to send them 30 gigs of source video, but 300mb of low res mp4 versions of the source video, so he can edit and work on timing and effects.
    My challenge is that I when he returns the file, I must replace the footage and re-create all of the in/out markers on each clip, as well as the effects.
    Is there a way to bulk replace footage in a project WHILE KEEPING the in/out cut, and the effects on each of the video bits? Or, keep the in/out and lose the effects - both are great solutions.
    If I could get the same filename for the source video on my machine and the low-res version on his machine, it would be easy. The challenge is that my source video is *.m2t and the low-res versions are mp4, or flv, or mov.
    Any ideas, workarounds, best practices for this?
    Thanks!

    Couple thoughts:
    Use AME to transcode your original M2T clips to more highly-compressed M2T clips. Drop the originals into the AME Queue, and change the Format to MPEG2 (not MPEG2-DVD). Start with the "1440 x 1080i 29.97 High Quality" preset (this may actually be automatically selected), and then go to the Multiplexer tab and change the Multiplexing option to "TS." Tweak the video encoding parameters (primarily bit rate) as necessary, and save the new versions out somewhere. This seemed to work in my single clip test, though the more highly-compressed file settings may need some experimentation to get smooth playback.
    If you already have MP4s, try changing the extension to M2T. Yeah, it might actually work. You can do this really quickly on the Windows command line (don't know how on Mac) by running a simple command:ren *.mp4 *.m2t
    In both cases, since the extension is the same, relinking should be fairly automatic.
    Report how it goes!

  • Help!!! Images are blurry/low-res in InDesign files I sent - re-linking is not working or we're doing it wrong :(

    So I am transferring all of my InDesign files over to my boss because I am leaving my job, but all of the photos placed in the layouts I've created show up blurry when he opens the files on his own computer. We've tried relinking the files, even! We may be doing it wrong, so first of all, could I get a detailed step-by-step to relinking files? Secondly, if that doesn't work, what else would you suggest?
    Info that may or may not help: I have a PC, he has a Mac, we used Google Drive to share the files, and I've already tried packaging the files.
    Thanks!

    Is it now the appearance in ID only or also PDF output? If the output is fine, it may just be the screen display settings. ID by default shows a low res screen copy. You can check on the boss' computer by selecting an image, right click and change the setting...near the bottom of the menu.
    Also, in the links panel, are all the images up to date?

  • My iphone 4s suddenly displays images from Yahoo, Google, and Flickr at low resolution. The camera on my phone works fine, but any web related photo content is now pixelated and low res, what's the deal?

    My iphone 4s suddenly displays images from Yahoo, Google, and Flickr at a low resolution. I have IOS 7.0.4. My phone camera works fine, but any web based photo content from Safari, Yahoo images, Google images, and Flickr all come in pixelated and low res. What's the deal?

    It happened to me but later I figured out that cellular signal was not that great and so the Internet was very slow. It took me about 2 minutes to get the full resolution picuture on either of the app you've described. Try to get faster internet either by wifi or good signal and then check.

  • How come my PPT to PDF files look so awful (low res)?

    I have a powerpoint file that I need to save as a PDF. Originally, I had a lot of PNGs in the file because I need a transparent background, but each time I save the file as a PDF it looks horribly low-res (blurry, jagged edges-everything images should not be). All of my images are high quality and nothing is being scaled up. I have adjusted the settings in the PDF dialog box to be printer quality, and I've checked the "High Quality" setting checkbox.
    Next I thought powerpoint preferred JPGs, so I saved all my images in that format, but I'm still having the same result.
    Here's another plot-twist: saving the powerpoint file on a Mac gives me slightly better quality, but none of the hyperlinks work.
    What up?

    It may be the PNG with transparency. This is a classic problem with AA, though I thought it had been fixed. Older versions could not handle transparency. With PPT, PDF Maker changes the borders I think. That improves the PDF result without having to change some of teh options in the printer yourself. The resolution looks good, unless your problem is that of some colors and lines being impossible to see because of the 1200 dpi. I use the default resolution of 300 dpi (the default is 1200). I had problems with 1 pixel vector graphics that would be washed out when done with the 1200 dpi.
    If it is not the transparency, then there is a chance the problem has to do with this display resolution.

  • Premiere Elements 9 - editing in low-res then rendering in HD

    Hi all,
    Just started using Adobe Premiere Elements 9, editing together a 3 minute music video (so not an epic!). Half way throughand having all sorts of problems as the footage is running slowly or not running at all.
    Just bought a brand new laptop with i5 core processor, 4 G RAM and 7,200 rpm, so don't think hardware is the problem.
    Question 1.
    How can I edit in a low res version and then render in HD (is this called editing by proxy?)? A friend with Premiere Pro said there should be a very simple button that does this. It would seem a basic requirement of any video-editing software. But I can't find how to do it and the only internet search have brought up very confusing and long-winded processes.
    Question 2.
    Having trouble rendering. I tried rendering as a WMV and the image was very pixilated even though it looks fine on the editing screen. File size was also huge and computer struggled to render it. Also tried FLV, which didn't work at all.
    Would appreciate help as I've put hours into the editing process already.
    Many thanks,
    Christina

  • Why does "Print Booklet" from Indesign CS5.5 only create low res pdf? How do I get High Res for Offs

    Long time ID user in Agency. Created a simple 4 page brochure in CS5.5 ID. Facing pages for cust size 11x17 half fold document.
    Generating the pdf for Press and HQ Print renders a nice high res document, but the print booklet feature only produces a skinny low res version. Tried to mess with the printer settings, but the result is the same with a skinny low res document.
    I didn't want to recreate the brochure as a two page manually imposed as I like the option of being able to add more pages in increments of four of course. Plus it's just silly to do that when ID is supposed to handle it for me.
    I worked around it this time by printing to .ps output then distilling, and then splitting the document so printer could have a "front" and "back" 11x17. But this seems kludged big time. This has to be a bug unless I am missing something.

    You probably never changed the default settings in the PDF printer properties. In the print booklet dialog, click the Print Settings button, then the Setup button at the bottom of the Print Dialog that pops up, choose the PDF printer and click on Preferences. Reset the default reset the default settings to the ones you really want to use, or reset them in Windows... Control Panel > Devices and Printers... Double-click the PDF printer, then from the print queue dialog, Printer > Properties... General tab and clcik the Preferences button.

  • Low res pictures on iphoto

    i have been trying to develop digital pictures from my iphoto library and when i develop them with snapfish or walgreens they are blurry (i.e. low res/low pixels). it's not the camera b/c i developed the same pics months ago and they were fine.
    is there a way to change the resolution of the photos in my iphoto library? also, does it matter how many pics i have stored?
    thanks.

    Just to be sure, check iPhoto's Preferences > Advanced and look where it says "Importing: copy files to iPhoto Library folder when adding to library." As long as there IS a checkmark in that box, you are running iPhoto in its default mode and all should be well. If that box has been UNchecked, please reply (and disregard the following), as there are some very big differences with the library in that case.
    Once you have imported the photos into iPhoto it is safe to delete them from the camera. As long as you haven't deleted them in iPhoto or trashed the files in iPhoto Library/ Originals they are still there. You can check the size of the photos that are in your library. Click the little i near the lower left corner of the iPhoto window to open the info pane. Select a thumbnail from your library, and you'll see its info, including pixel dimensions, in the info pane. To double-check, select a thumbnail and right-click (Control-click). Then choose "Show File" or "Show Original File" (for edited photos). A Finder window should open with the file already selected. You can use that window to trace the path of the file. If this doesn't work for you, please post back with your results.
    Be careful that you don't make any changes to the files and folders inside the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder (or any other application). iPhoto is a database application and has its own filing system, which must be left alone. Always manipulate your photos using iPhoto, or export copies from the library for use outside of iPhoto. If you think you may have damaged your library, you can spot check your photos. See if they display with the size slider all the way to the right (largest size). Double-click to see if they open in Edit mode. Right-click and choose "Show File" to see if iPhoto knows where they are. If these things function, then your library is in good shape. If not, post back for the steps to repair it (or start fresh).
    what you said about the data folder is exactly what i did. can you explain again what the best thing for me to do is.
    Step by step:
    Use iPhoto to select the photos you want to upload for printing.
    Tip: Shift-click the first and last photo to select a contiguous range;
    Command-click to select or deselect discontiguous photos.
    Tip: It can be convenient to create an album to gather your photos, then Select All photos in the album.
    From the iPhoto File menu choose Export, then be sure the "File Export" tab is selected. Set the Format, Size, and Name options. You'll want the full-size images for best printing. Click the Export button.
    A new dialog box will open so that you can choose the location for the exported copies. The easiest, most convenient place is the Desktop. Click the Desktop icon, then click the "New Folder" button. (Too many loose files on the Desktop can crash the Finder.) Name the folder, click Create, then click OK to export the photos to that folder.
    When you are logged onto your Snapfish or Walgreens account, select the Desktop folder as your source when uploading the photos for printing.
    When the upload is complete, you can drag that Desktop folder into the Finder Trash and delete it. Exports are copies - iPhoto retains your files.
    If you wanted to burn a CD to take to a developer, the process is very similar. You would export to a Desktop folder, then burn that folder to the CD. You can use this method to back up your photos to disc. A disc made this way will only contain the photos, with no keywords, album info, or other iPhoto Library structures. It can be used with a computer that does not run iPhoto.
    If you want to create a backup disc that does retain the iPhoto albums, keywords, and other metadata, you burn it using the iPhoto Share > Burn command. A better backup method is to save the entire iPhoto Library folder to an external hard drive.
    Regards.

  • PC content viewer shows only low res thumbnails of PDF folios (from folio builder)

    Since i can't seem to find a similar question, here's my story:
    I've recently held a small class of 2*18 students, running various versions of indesign (mostly Cs6 and CC) and various OS (MacOs, Win7, Win 8).
    On the Win 7 and 8 systems, some of the students had a blurry/low res and no interactivity feature output of anything coming from Folio Builder.
    Regular Interactive Overlay Folio preview always turned well, and preview on the devices were ok too (except for the long process of putting things online when the PC users would want to preview on an iPad).
    But i couldn't work them out of the horrible low res preview when the folios were built in Folio Builder.
    So far i haven't found time to narrow the failing machines (we didn't have a lot of time for this).
    Is this problem known ? Is there a workaround ?

    Hi bob, as i mentionned in the title, it's the PC (aka desktop) Content Viewer that's concerned.
    I know it's supposed to be rasterized, but the problem here is their (desktop) Content Viewer really displays the thumbnails instead of the expected (and interactive) content.
    I had never encountered this kind of behaviour before, and couldn't track that on the website.

  • Why are my slideshow images showing as low res?

    I'm creating a site that will show a housing development in the works, and with each lot number that's clicked on the home page, the link goes to a page with a slideshow (My Albums) and when that is clicked you're taken to a new page with separate slideshow.
    I've got two questions:
    1. Why do the images show up as low res on the My Albums page, but are the preferred higher res on the slideshow page?
    2. I'd like to just have a slideshow on the first page without having to click on the image to link to a whole other page for the slideshow. The confusing part is, while working in iWeb, the slideshow does exactly what I'd like it to do, but when published I get the ghastly low res images and I have to click on that to get to the "real" slideshow! Is there a setting I'm missing?

    What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand? Do you have iWeb's preferences set to optimize images when imported?

    To get rid of the album page and leave the photo pages just move the photo pages out of the album page.

  • Everything is being marked "Low Res" when they're not

    I have a bunch of photos and have used them as desktop pictures, sent them to fm, emailed them, etc. All was well. Then one day my iPhoto marked most all of my pics as f-1006 or low res. When I go into the System Folder to Desktop Appearance, and I click a pic, a question mark shows up in the screen preview window, and instead of the pic immediately going to my desktop, the standard Mac screen remains.
    This was not always the case. Pics from my cell phone used to work great-no longer. Pics from dvd's used to work great-they were/are pictures! Pictures that used to import/export used as screensavers, and desktop images no longer work. Or they might work every once in a while???
    Anyone have an idea what's going on with my iPhoto and how I might fix it?
    Thanks so much,
    Teri~

    Is this the "i" you're seeing?
    It shows in a book when the image resolution of the photo is below 180 dpi for the frame it's been placed in on the page. If that's the case what are the pixel dimensions of the photos that give this warning indicatior?
    Or is it this?
    This shows on all photos if you put the cursor over the thumbnail. If you click on it the photo will flip up the location/description window for it.

    Every photo has it. So which one are you seeing?

    Dear Gurus of such things,
    My Powerbook G4 12" display goes into some kind of low res and faint display after restarting. After days of this, it will suddenly become high res and clear again, for no reason that I can tell. It also recovers after my Powerbook has been connected to a projector.

  • Mavericks: Screen Sharing Resolution changed to low-res

    I just updated my two slave macs (Mac Pro, Mac Mini) to Mavericks (main mac still on 10.8.5), and when I do screen-sharing by connecting to each, suddenly I'm getting each slave mac in a square screen at low-res -- 1280x1024. THere are no other options to return these to full 1920x1080-sized windows.
    Some other forums recommended a free app called Display Menu that puts a screen resolution in the upper menu bar, but when I select 1920x1080 as the resolution for the sharing window (which it has always been), I get a black screen in that window and the only fix is to turn off the slave mac manually, and when it comes back on and I reconnect to it, it reconnects with the square 1280x1024 monitor window.
    It used to be that I got the 16:9 screen share window and I could scale/resize it by dragging corners but that option is gone.
    Anyone know how to get that old 1920x1080 resolution back in my screen-shared windows?
    Kerry

    Ok so the solution was to user a different VNC client in Ubuntu. "Vinagre" allows you to view your remote session scaled to any size you like. It will however retain the dimentions of your MacBook screen.
    One thing to be aware of is that when authentication your VNC session (entering your username and password) Vinagre only allows you to enter a password of 8 characters max. So if your password is longer then 8 characters you will have to shorten it to user Vinagre... A bit annoying but at least it works.
    Techy notes:
    It is actially the VNC server Vino that Vinagre uses that is enforcing the password length limit. So if using an alternative client that uses Vino as it's VNC server this limit will apply for that client also.
    Even though you are scaling the client session down VNC sends the host's full resolution so you will still transfer a lot of data over the network.

  • Exporting HD footage turns into low res pixel mess

    I have the following problem. I imported Video files into a HD 720p60 FCP timeline. Sequence settings are: HD 960x720 (16:9)
    compressor is HD720p60. fps accidentally is 23.98 but no sound so sync is not an issue.
    Now every time I try to change the settings (say to 29.97) or export as a quicktime movie, the picture quality goes to ****. it turns super pixely and low res. I never had this issue and I am at the end of my wits. I tried converting the footage to every possible format with different compressions, no luck.
    The original video files are 854x480, codex is interger (big Endian) HDV 720p60. I used MPEG STREAMCLIP to create the video files.
    Thanks for any help,
    Kris

    If your original files are 854x480 (and the source could easily be 720x480 anamorphic) I would advise working with a timeline that is at the source resolution and frame rate. EVERY conversion you make will degrade your image quality. This includes the frame rate change you have going on in Compressor.
    Work in Final Cut with the same sequence settings as your source, then send it to Compressor at the end and make only one change. This is the big point. Your 720p60 is upconverting your resolution and change your frame rate to 60 progressive. From there you're dropping down to 29.97. That's two converts when you could probably be getting away with one. Also the HD720p60 is anamorphic if I remember right, so unless you're feeding it anamorphic clips you'll be cutting your horizontal resolution down.
    If you are working with some clips captured using MPEG Streamclip and some HD video that is in fact 720p60 my advice would be on using Compressor to change your Streamclip videos to have the same settings as your other video. Just drag them from the Finder into Compressor and find/build a setting that matches what you have. I would probably add a mild sharpening to them so they hold together a little better when blown up.
    As far as Final Cut is concerned you are then working with the same kinds of clips on the timeline despite being from two sources.
    Codecs/formats are a mess. Just like a paper airplane flies worse every time you refold the paper into a new model, video looks worse every time you switch to a different codec/frame rate/resolution.
