  • >100% zoom in Canvas window = BLURRY

    Posted by _tormentor_ on August 2, 2005 at 12:29 am

    At 100%, with Show as Sq. Pixels unchecked, Overlays turned off, and Image checked, Unlimited RT selected, everytime I zoom to 200% or 400% in the canvas window, the image goes soft. What I mean by this is that at 100%, I am able to see the normal interlaced video with the combing effects. But at 200%, the interlace combing effect is gone, and it’s replaced by a blurry representation. I know for sure the canvas preview is not “right”. Any setting I can use to bring back full quality display to the Canvas when zoomed past 100%?

    Render it. This is a display bug.

    Hard to do when there’s nothing that needs rendering, meaning it’s clean footage straight to the timeline. Is it acknowledged that this is a bug?

    I found a slight workaround, and that’s just to turn on Luma Range Checking. Not the best solution.

    How does it look on your external monitor? Your computer monitor won’t give you an accurate representation of your image.
    You should always be editing and evaluating your imagery with an NTSC (or PAL, depending where you are) monitor.

    It’s a still that’s been scaled in FCP right? It has to be rendered for output. Force it to render.

    Nope. It’s a video clip with no scaling applied. Straight clean DV footage from the viewer. I can’t be the only person noticing this.

    I see what you mean. I was also surprised to discover this… you’re not alone 🙂

    It would be great if FCP didn’t deinterlace/interpolate when you zoom at more than 100%… no other software do it.

    I thought he said there was no scaling applied.

    My apologies. I understand now. I thought he was talking about a different problem with scaled images, but now I see what you’re talking about. You really only see the interlacing when the image is set to 100%.
