Cropping and scaling Premier Pro CS3
Probably a noob question…
Whenever I attempt to scale crop or move the clip I lose quality. It gets fuzzy/blurry.
How do I scale crop or move the clip without quality loss??
What I am doing is cropping one image as a vertical rectangle and the other as a square and placing them side by side kinda like a split screen effect.
One shot is of head on shot the other is profile I would like to show them at the same time…

Your image should be just as clear as the original when you crop, scale or move as long as you’re not scaling up the size. scaling up the size will cause blurryness.
Make sure you are rendering after you crop, scale or move.

Yeah I am scaling down not up… also like I said I am very new at this… when you say render do you mean file>export>adobe media encoder?

No,no,
Whenever you add an effect or transition or scale or color correct or just about anything that modifies the clip you’ll need to click on the “Sequence” tab at the top of the window, then select “render effects in work area”.
A good way to tell if there are clips that need rendering is that there is usually a red line at the top of the timeline above any clips that need to be rendered, once they are rendered the line should be green. (in PPro Cs4 anyway, not sure about other versions).
Hope this helps.
