blurry PNG files? Anyone have a way to remedy this?
when i bring a png file from photoshop into FCP 5.1.3, it looks fine in the Viewer.
but then when i drop it into the timeline it gets fuzzy and the text gets blurry.
is there a way to maintain its integrity when exporting this?
BTW, i was exporting from photoshop using the default setting in Photoshop for DV (720×480)
thanks

First off:
Shane’s Stock Answer #2: Blurry playback
ONLY JUDGE THE QUALITY OF YOUR MATERIAL ON AN EXTERNAL NTSC MONITOR, OR AT LEAST A TV.
1. Disable overlays on the canvas
2. Make sure you’ve rendered everything (no green bars at the top of the timelinehttps://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=24787
Video playback requires large amounts of data and many computations. In order to maintain frame rate and be viewable at a normal size, only about one-fourth of the DV data is used in displaying the movie to the screen. However, the DV footage is still at full quality, and is best viewed thru a TV or NTSC monitor routed thru your camera or deck.
Second, When you put this high quality image in a DV timeline it incurs the horrible DV 5:1 compression of the DV timeline. If you were working on a higher resolution timeline, like DV 50 or DVCPRO HD or 8-bit uncompressed, then your pictures would look better.
