  Video export

  Posted by Oliver Smith on May 28, 2014 at 5:11 pm

  So I made a short video about 45 seconds. It looked very good and then I exported it with the h.264 codec and it came out unsharp. The footage is 1080i. I used the HD 1080i 25fr preset. I am unsure if its just me and my eyes so I’ve uploaded a screenshot too. Does anyone have any advice or thoughts?

  Hi Oliver,

  Can you post a screenshot of your export settings? Depending on the recording format, you may also want to try exporting as progressive.

  Also, make sure you preview full screen on a 1080P monitor, otherwise the media player will automatically resize things and it’s hard to judge full quality.

  Hi Oliver,

  So you are exporting progressive and your timeline is upper field first. Assuming this was shot in upper field first, make sure you keep that setting throughout your workflow.

  Make sure you preview in quicktime full screen on a native 1080P monitor.

  Let us know if that quality holds up.
