‘Best’ Motion filtering option?
I see in the Sequence Settings:
> Video Processing tab
> Motion Filtering Quality – there is normal, best and linear (fastest).
How important is this option? If I make it best does that mean it really is better or can it mean file sizes can become oversized and playback becomes sticky or exports become corrupted.
Right now I am exporting finalised sequences with many FC motion parameters within, is this a suggested option before exporting? -

That’s the most important setting to maintaining maximum quality for anything you do in FCP. However, FCP 6 does default to using “Best” during final renders before output to tape.
But I turn that on first with every Sequence so I can see exactly what will go to tape.

Oddly enough, when resizing a video and fine text is involved, “FAST” actually looks a lot better than best.

Ok cool, so I will be making quicktime exports for the graders, best to use best before making these.
And so Walter when you say ‘final renders’ do you mean when you use edit to tape or print to video, before laying back to tape Final Cut renders all that is normal to best?
