  Full HD backgrounds, lower third content etc

  Posted by Larry Watts on January 17, 2017 at 9:52 pm

  I’m working on an 8 minute promo and I just noticed something for the first time. The graphics generators are all 720P HD 24p. My footage is 1920 x 1080 29,97. When I created compound clips with footage and backgrounds it made the clips 720P. Also getting some very long renders. I’m surprised the generators are bot full HD. Are there HD versions?

  Generators are not resolution specific but will match your project timeline settings.

  Noah,
  That is what I thought.
  I picked the flow background generator and as you select it, it says 720P. When I added it to the timeline it remained the same.
  Same thing with the lower thirds. I used sports “left”

  As soon as I created a compound clip it made it all 720.

  I hope I can salvage the project, because the size is the only problem.

  Um not happening on my system. If you start a project as 1080p it stays at 1080p regardless of which generator you add. Post some screenshots if you want help with what it happening on yours.
