  Export not full-res

  Posted by John Godwin on June 30, 2009 at 4:13 pm

  I have an FCP project with DV timelines. I let FCP set up the timeline to match the video. It looks perfectly fine on the canvas, when it’s set to 100%. It also looks perfect on the monitor through the Kona 3 card.

  When I export video as a self-contained .mov, using current settings, though, the result looks lo-res and pixelated. It almost appears as if it’s only exporting one field.

  I can export through QT conversion as, say, 640×480 VGA, and it comes out full-rez.

  Xdcam ex timelines in the same project export correctly.

  This is on a mac pro, FCP 6.0.5, QT and OS are just prior to the latest upgrades.

  I suspect I have some simple setting wrong somewhere but I can’t figure it out. Thanks in advance ….

  Best,
  John

  It was the “use hi-res when available” setting in QT….
