  • Canon GL2 footage is clear But it is not clear

    After I view my footage either on the small lcd attached to the camera or plugged into a tv it is clear… but after I upload it to adobe premier pro cs3 it looks blurry, not horrible but noticeable.

    Ideas?

    Im very noob btw…

    Thanks

    Most likely that’s because you are just using the tiny TINY camera’s LCD screen for eyeball focusing. The resolution of such little screens is extremely low… even much lower than standard def.

    Ergo, an image that looks sharp as a tack on that little screen might in actuality be pretty darn soft in reality.

    even on a huge widescreen tv the picture is way sharper than the results i get after capturing it/uploading it to the computer…
