Poor quality MPEG2 graphics with FCP and Motion…
I’m working on…MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz 2GB RAM with Final Cut Studio…
Now I’m making an induction video using captured footage in Final Cut as well as Motion Files (in Final Cut). I have exported these as a quicktime (H.264) and the graphics are crystal clear.
I have since tried to do it as a MPEG2 (For a DVD) now some of the graphics are fine but there is one section where the quality is poor. The ones that are generally fine are templates that I’ve altered slightly and the one that is poor is one which I’ve made myself in Photoshop and Motion, but as I said earlier it was fine whilst exporting as a quicktime.
I’ve trashed all my preferences in FCP, deleted all my render files and re-rendered, created a new sequence and copied the sequence into it (In fact I had to make two sequences, Part 1 and 2 as it kept on crashing (FCP) when trying to export MPEG2 with compressor)
So does anyone know why the quality would be poor??
Thanks

Set your sequence setting to “Render in high precision” and Motion Rendering to Best. Send to Compressor from the FC time line. Choose a Compressor setting according with the lenth of your clip.

Hi Rafael,
Thanks for your response, where would I find these settings??

Just to reiterate I have changed the setting to render in high precision but where is the Motion rendering setting?
Thanks again

If you have been able to export a nice movie (h264), you should be able to make a good MPG2.
But don’t send a h264 to Compressor. H264 is very good for delivery, but not to be re-processed.PPC G5 2x2Gh 4GbRAM/BlackMagic SD/PMBP 17″Core2Duo 4GbRAM
