Blurry pictures
in [Movie Maker]
|
From: Michael on 9 Jul 2006 10:31 I'm making a slideshow. I edited my pictures to make sure they have clarity before inserting them into the show. When I insert the pics into the collection area and view them, they are clear. When I drop them into the timeline, they blur. In hopes that it was only a memory saving method, I made the movie. They stay blurry even after I make the movie. Any thoughts??? You help is greatly appreciated.
From: PapaJohn (MVP) on 9 Jul 2006 12:08 it could be that video quality isn't up to your expectations... a high quality DVD is about 1/3 of a megapixel.... compared to a 5 megapixel camera for stills, it's not a lot. it could be that you opted for a lower quality choice when saving the movie... if the quality choices included in MM2 aren't sufficient, you can use custom profiles to go higher... see my Saving Movies > Custom WMV Profiles page -- PapaJohn Movie Maker 2 and Photo Story 3 website - http://www.papajohn.org "Michael" <Michael(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:519F3F16-A68A-4547-8571-675FAA93E150(a)microsoft.com... > I'm making a slideshow.

From: LarryINmich on 9 Jul 2006 17:26 Having FINALLY gotten a show burned to DVD, after months, I find there are too many hidden 'shoulda done's' for this WMM scenario. Even starting from the basic concept that you dont save individual pictures with enhanced edges you do that AFTER all of any rework to the pix is done. And that there is a preferred format, what, izzit BMP not JPG? And that size matters. In other woids, our magic video image rez is what like 640 x 480 and many of us including me, figger bigger is better and make images like 1800 x 1400 or some wierd number, and the computer has to RESIZE these down to that video standard which I just stated. NOBODY NO EXPERT here has attempted to give basic common sense setups for the VERY START of our files!!!! Then we, you and I, figure we did good and BANG we got blurry images!!!!! NOW How BIG is your show???? Did you make it 40 or 50 images as a trial??? AHAH- Nobody, yep NOBODY, says, nor do the 'great' instructions included in WMM, say- hey fella, you're NEW HERE, start with a movie or slide show of 5 images. Get it right, be sure U can burn it to DVD and that it plays ,is sharp, etc. THEN go for the big stuff. !@()*$)(@!*#()!@*#()*!@()#*) I use these words often with this WMM scenario, they are appropriate. My 'at last and finally' show has music of about 6 cuts, 45 slides, transitions, and a start and finish made with WMM. Am sure PAPA J will comment on all this, its the forgotten equation in this fiasco. Continued luck in yer project Larry "PapaJohn (MVP)" wrote: > it could be that video quality isn't up to your expectations... a high > quality DVD is about 1/3 of a megapixel.... compared to a 5 megapixel camera > for stills, it's not a lot. > > it could be that you opted for a lower quality choice when saving the > movie... > > if the quality choices included in MM2 aren't sufficient, you can use custom > profiles to go higher... see my Saving Movies > Custom WMV Profiles page > -- > PapaJohn > Movie Maker 2 and Photo Story 3 website - http://www.papajohn.org > > > "Michael" <Michael(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:519F3F16-A68A-4547-8571-675FAA93E150(a)microsoft.com... > > I'm making a slideshow.

From: LarryINmich on 9 Jul 2006 17:35 Note also I was able to plan the slide movie on my new $100 LiteON settop DVD recorder/player. Quality was not great, however I am playing it on a Gateway 42" Plasma TV which probably makes a negative difference. Simply too tired to move the Liteon to another TV to test. Another thing, dont keep saving your file with a new file name, like "Susies Party", Susies Party 1" Susies Party 2" etc. Depending on your hard drive size you can literally cause your Computer to slow down processing. Been there, done that....... "LarryINmich" wrote: > Having FINALLY gotten a show burned to DVD, after months, I find there are > too many hidden 'shoulda done's' for this WMM scenario.

From: PapaJohn (MVP) on 9 Jul 2006 18:23 All I can say to that Larry is that I agree with you... In the first chapter of my Movie Maker 2 'Do Amazing Things' book, I guide the reader through the whole process, making a 2 minute movie... so they can see it all and see the outcome before investing considerable time in a bigger project. There are many other there who do a pilot project first, with no hurry-up to meet deadline.... but it's free to do as you wish, and many prefer to jump in all the way first... both ways can get you wherever you're going. -- PapaJohn Movie Maker 2 and Photo Story 3 website - http://www.papajohn.org "LarryINmich" <LarryINmich(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:6F726DD7-D54B-46FF-BC8E-C896BCA78DC9(a)microsoft.com... > Having FINALLY gotten a show burned to DVD, after months, I find there are > too many hidden 'shoulda done's' for this WMM scenario.
