  • FCS Motion tab scaling of nests?

    Posted by Alan Lacey on May 17, 2009 at 10:02 am

    When I nest a load of hi res stills in FCP in the sequence and then scale the nest up using the motion tab, what’s scaled, the original stills or the native resolution of the nest?

    I’m trying not to loose resolution from these stills.

    With thanks

    When you scale a Nest, the Nest is what you’re controlling. If you want to control the individual images, you need to do that separately.

    Thanks guys, I guessed this would be the case. I’d do it in Motion.

    Hi Alan,
    Even if there is only one rendering, there are in fact two resizing (with all the possible accumulative errors).
    Think that if you render the nested sequence before animate it, then you are not working with the original picture but with the renders files already in the codec of the original sequence.
