Why are my videos always pixelated?

I'm mainly a 3D modeler, but from time to time a customer asks me to do something video/AE.  It seems that no matter what I do, I can't make a video without being pixelated, unless the file size is huge.   I use the H.264 codec that gets the file to a reasonable size, but as you can see, the quality is poor. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

If you went to the H.264 format in After Effects, do not.  Instead, make your video for delivery using Adobe Media Encoder codec.  It does a better job of it.

You say nothing about your delivery specifications, which can have a significant impact on the quality of the image.

  • Why are images important always larger than their size?

    According to the instructions in a thread I had here last week, I got all my images DVD created at 720 x 534 pixels for first Pro CS5.5. But when they are introduced into a sequence DVCPRO50 NTSC Standard, they are strongly attached. The original in one of the examples is the following:

    80.jpg

    But what that same images in PP, it is size up like this:

    scaled.jpg

    It is still proportionally correct, but many top and bottom of the image disappeared. The sequence encoded MPEG-2 and the disc I made a display test just like that.

    Why PP done, and how can I get to use built to size images to be used 1:1 in a sequence rather than be reduced to about 115 percent of the size? Do not compare this way, but this has never been a problem with Final Cut Pro, which I am spending. Stills, created the size of FCP needed 720 x 540 display and finished exactly as they were made in Photoshop. The only area of the image lost was the normal bit of scanning DVD display to your TV.

    Hack square 720 x 534 pixels

    will work only if the option to stretch the image lit.  The theory is that the PrPro extend the image down to 720 x 480 - with which close BY 0.9.

    If you go to scale images to advance, first convert BY 0.9 and then crops to 720 x 480.

    A question however, are your images in portrait format?  720 is the width to the height.

    I click on a link to a YouTube video, and plays video without the sound. I have check the sound bar and he is not silent. I put the sound to the maximum, still no sound. I check my system preferences and the sound is in place.

    Ignore the link of the player Shockwave that probably, you mustn't he compared to Flash player because it is barely used nowadays.

    FredMcD, you really need correct/update your clipboard for that.

    The downloadable Shockwave player version (not flashing) is 12.1.3.153 and not 15.0.0.152 as you can be confusing which version of the flashplayer reached before.

    Flash player is 15.0.0.189 and not 14.0.0.179 as you can see at https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

    Flash player is used for good Flash videos like Youtube and Flash games in Shockwave player is little used compared to Flash, for things such as games and online learning tools.

    And please, don't say "I asked. It's the way it is displayed on the site"as you said last time in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1026518 , because who says little about why you're wrong ad versions and calling Shockwave player, Shockwave Flash.

  • Why are there bars when I go to the YouTube app?

    Why are there bars when I go on the YouTube app, I'm on it and I start a video and there are bars on the bottom and top of the screen, you can solve the problem?

    There is nothing to fix. If the video was recorded in an aspect ratio different that what is the screen of the phone, the difference is filled with back. You can sometimes see the same thing on TVs.

  • Why are my synths distorting?

    Why are my synths distorting?

    Particularly film patches such as erosion and SFX. At first they seem like a lot, but after a while, as I work on the file, they develop distortions, sounds like static.

    The only solution I have found is sometimes I can create a new track from scratch and copy the notes (from the track on distortion) to him - but this does not always work.

    So far, I worked on three projects in a row where this has happened. Once he arrives, he is not resolve, even with a reboot.

    This isn't a question of volume of track or speed level. Its a shame because these sounds are one of the * reasons * I bought Logic Pro X.

    I have a new MacBook Pro with El Capitan.  Processor: 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7, memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    This prevents me from doing what I bought the software and laptop computer for!

    Thank you.

    In the Preferences Audio from Logic that you have ' I/o buffer size' value Logic?

    Also, is it possible that you are overloading the Bus Master, you add audio? Is the master or channel strips being driven into the Red?

  • Why are cookies not deleted when I close Firefox?

    Hey,.

    My problem is that I put Tools / Options / Privacy / history to "Use the custom settings for history", then under "cookies", I put keep up to the: to the "closing of Firefox".

    Yet, when I close my browser and restart any of the cookies are deleted. If I register my tabs, I be online on Web sites that are open in the saved tabs. But even if I close the site and then leave. The site, and then reopen after having restarted Firefox, I am always connected. While Firefox is defined do not remember my user name or password, the only way this can happen is through cookies. Therefore, cookies are not deleted. But I can also see it in the list of cookies: it is full of old stuff.

    So why are cookies not deleted despite this setting?

    Firefox has beeen quite soft on the life private lately, and frankly I do not understand why. The possibility of having more than X days History automatically deleted is also long gone, and now this cookie setting does not, either.

    If you reopen tabs automatically next time then Firefox stores cookies from these default tabs as part of session data in the sessionstore.js file.

    You can set the browser.sessionstore.privacy_level pref 2 (never) or 1 (not HTTPS) on the topic: config page to disable the registration of cookies via session restore.

    The browser.sessionstore.privacy_level_deferred pref is used when you do not reopen last session automatically via "show my windows and tabs from last time" and use the same values.

  • Why are there updates as long as there is no place for the programs they update?

    I have a Sony notebook with windows XP operating system. Whenever I turn it on, I have more updates. It got to the point that there is no more space left on the drive C for programs that are updated. Why are updates written so sloppily? Would not take more attention to the space used by these updates? My first computer was a 10 meg hard drive and it works perfectly, now 14 gigs is not enough. Must we have 500 gigs to run windows? Does this reader size filling too in time? Is there a way to provide more space on my hard drive without replace or remove the original programs IE. Windows? Cant I consolidate updates into a lighter version to date of a program without updates? I wonder if a total format would help even at this stage.   HERE COMES UPDATES!

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).

    At the end of the day - a standard installation of Windows XP with all sorts of options is likely not above about 4.5 GB to 10 GB in size.

    Why are we forced to use Skype when its especially for video chat. I like windows Messenger I send out there and if I have choice to the video chat I can do. its easy to use has some great tools. If someone wants to then let them use it Skype but for myself and I have read many others want to keep messenger for its ease of use. but we are forced to use something which to me don't want to and I'll have my freedom of choice away. Please let alone Messenger and if someone wants to Skype then let them use Skype but give us a choice.

    Hi all, I need to understand why my VMs will always grow so large they finally running out of disk space, and then I can't resize them... see the screenshots below:

    Screen Shot 2014-08-26 at 12.16.56 AM.png

    So all my virtual machines are that looks like it's finally the 5 GB goes down to zero, cannot update things like Dropbox and all sorts of other things start to break. I then, go here and try to expand, but I get this error on machines to young readers:

    Screen Shot 2014-08-26 at 12.18.02 AM.png

    I think I need at least as much GBs on the system, as is the virtual machine? Done my MBA and smaller machines, is not possible. But when I move the virtual machine to a bigger machine like my iMac, with a big disc of TB, I can do the resizing. Is it the way it is supposed to work? Perhaps, I do not have this right...

    thx for all the advice!

    Yep, that's the way it is supposed to work.  The close, move it to the iMac, expand drive, then arrest him and bring him back.  Make sure you choose "move" not "copy" when migrating to avoid triggering the activation of windows.

    Regarding what is eating space inside the virtual machine, you will have to consider for the guest OS for more information (which are not a matter of merger).

    To free up space on the host, with closing VM, go to settings, click on the circle of little tiny refreshment next to the space bar, then if she said cleaning recommended, go into general and make a clean virtual machine.
