Render issues with still pictures
I have a copy of FCP 4.5 and am having a problem when I render jpegs. The pic looks nice and sharp before I render but turns out very pixelated after rendering. I know I’m doing something wrong as I had this problem once before and waas able to fix it. But I didn’t write it down and didn’t use since then so I’m an idiot cause I’m back in the same boat. Any help would be great.

You are going to have to give us a lot more information if anyone is going to be able to help.
What are your timeline settings?
What is the image resolution of your photos?
What file type are your photos?
How are you previewing the video?Personally I am not a fan of doing photo slide shows in Final Cut Pro. Now I don’t quite know if that is what you are doing, because you did not say. But I find that the large amount of time spent key framing is a wast of time when there are much easier ways to get great looking photo slideshows. I use fotomagico it is fast and easy, then I just export a file that matches my FCP timeline if I need to combine it with other video.

Sorry about the sparse info.
1. I’m set at DV NTSC 48 khz – 720 x 480 and 29.97 fps
2. I’m using a 6 mp jpeg as my source. I’ve tried cropping to get it the same size as my
video settings but this hasn’t helped.
3. jpeg
4. I’ve looked at my monitor and noticed the problem but have also rendered to DVD and seen it on several monitors other than the computer.I’m editing a video and just tying in some pics to go with it. Not sure if I’m going to have any of them moving yet but not an issue right now.

There was a problem for a short time, prior to verson 5.0 I think, where the “Best” setting in Sequence Settings/ Video Processing/Motion Filtering Quality was broken. Try setting that to either “Fastest” or “Normal” and see if that fixes the problem.
