DVCPRO HD picture degrades in SD widescreen composition
Posted by Itamar Kool on August 31, 2009 at 2:02 pmI use DVCPRO HD 720p footage in a PAL widescreen comp. I scale it down to 51 percent enad move it. It looks all blocky. But the quick time file is sharp and OK. What am I doing wrong??

August 31, 2009 at 4:03 pmJust to make sure: settings are all set to full quality and best settings. Graphics are sharp, live footage looks blocky, even with all effects off.

August 31, 2009 at 5:32 pmAre you sure it’s not the draft-quality preview you get when you enable Pixel Aspect correction?

August 31, 2009 at 5:41 pmYes, it is also viewable on my video monitor. Also rendered it and the problem is in the rendered movie as well. Looked in the interpret footage window and there too every setting looks the way it should. It’s so strange

August 31, 2009 at 5:43 pmOne more thing: I put the footage in a DVCPRO HD 720 composition. Same problem

August 31, 2009 at 6:01 pmDo you have a small sample clip you could upload to a file hosting service?
