  8 bit video

  Posted by Paul Renner on October 24, 2005 at 7:58 pm

  I’ve got an 8 bit uncompresed NTSC .mov that looks great when playing via quicktime player, but when I bring into Final Cut it looks degraded when played back. Does anyone know what is causing this? Thnaks!

  Are you viewing this with an NTSC monitor, or judging only by the computer monitor?

  You cannot judge the quality of the image with the computer monitor. It lowers the resolution to allow for realtime playback.

  Are your sequence settings the same as the file?
  Is the field ordering correct?
  Make sure the canvas/viewer window has no scroll bars when playing back the video. Either increase the size of the window or reduce the scaling on the video (fit to window).

  Hope these help.

  Thanks, field order reversed. It was rendered from HD 1080i upper field.
