    Should I not use the Pro Res422 HQ setting?

    It’s a bit over kill for SD material. But if you don’t mind the file size, sure, can’t hurt, grfx might benefit from the extra quality.

    Export “current settings” after the re-render. Use that file to make your deliverable. If the edit is locked and a done deal, make it self-contained and this is your digital master to keep forever.

    I would love to say the quality was better but its was not. 🙁
    I MUST be missing a step here or not have a correct setting.

    Dave,
    All I have been using are real actual DVD players. I have tried on a Sony DVD play with a Sony Bravia 42in via hdmi input. and the second was a samsung dvd player on a 32in samsung monitor.
    I had thought the same thing awhile back, and now i am just checking on my actual players. I must have something wrong…I just don’t know what..very frustrating. I have been doing this for a few days.

    The Graphics have improved, but the faces and the blacks are all pixelated and not clear.

    Dave,
    Your absolutely right…. I think you have just made total sense to me about what i am seeing. All the monitors I am using are HD. The samsung is a small monitor off rca connectors. So that would reflect what i am seeing?

    Thank you. I did not even realize that in my situation. I took the monitoring situation for granted. But from now on i will cut on the ProRes sequences. I don’t need to use the HQ settings right, I can use the regular settings?

    Gotcha.
    Thank you. You guys were a great help, glad I did not have to re-ingest and cut this whole thing over.

    So if I have my graphics or animations mixed with DV i should use ProRes?
