  • TIFF in canvas is very low resolution.

    Hi,

    made tiff in photoshop with the dimensions 1280×720 pix —> imported to FCP and applied to DVCPRO HD 720p50 timeline…

    If I doubleclick clip to load it in viewer then it looks fine, as it is – sharp high res…

    … but in the canvas it looks very pixelated, heavy compressed and low resolution. I lost myself and a lot of time to find the solution.

    please help!

    thank you in advance,

    Andrei

    Render the picture. Sometimes it won’t show red in the timeline but green. Just render it and it should be fine.

    Yes, Susan!

    Actually I was trying to render the clip but it did nothing. After your message I thought “… well, let me check render settings…” and I noticed that in Render Selection menu “preview” was not checked. So, I did it and now picture is brilliant clear and as it supposed to be.

    Thank you!

    Your posts are very nicely illustrated. The solution was simple, but it’s one that is often overlooked by editors new to Final Cut.
