  Video Effects affecting still image quality

  Posted by David Burkart on August 19, 2010 at 10:40 pm

  Sorry to blow this forum up with a 2nd question in a row, but…

  When you add a cross-disolve, for instance, to two stills, there’s a “jump” when the transition is through. How do you prevent that jump to provide a smooth transition?!

  I’ve actually had this issue on several projects and was told it’s because the quality of effects (even title text boxes) will match the quality of video I’m working with… and that sounded weird…

  Are you sure you’re rendering

  What are your timeline settings?

  Highlight the effect in the timeline then Sequence Menu > Render Only > Full. I’m not sure why this is necessary when the transition effect has no render line above it, but this often fixes this issue.
