  • Export resolution probs…..

    Posted by Andrzej Goulding on October 29, 2007 at 4:54 pm

    Major major problem.

    I am creating an edit to a soundtrack using just still images. The original images vary in size and resolution but are generally very high res.
    For example, I have an image that is 3500 x 2300 at a resolution of 300.
    In final cut I am working to a frame size of 768 x 576 (4:3). I import the images and adjust the size to the screen and all looks fine. If I look at a frame in the viewer (showing the full quality image) all is nice and crispy.
    But when I export as a quicktime movie using the current settings of the project, the resolution of the movie is terrible. If I pause the movie, put it to full screen and compare it to the original photo, the difference is painfully obvious.
    How can I get my exported movie to have that same visual quality. Is it to do with the way I set up my sequence from the beginning or is it in the export options somewhere?
    Please help, I am on a really tight deadline, and all this work will go to waste if it doesn’t export properly.

    Thanks

    What’s happening, I assume, is that you’re editing with RT effects, and when it renders the photos you’re not getting what you want.

    So what are your render settings for the timeline? Force render your timeline so you can see in Final Cut what it’s doing.

    Thanks for replying.

    By render settings for the timeline are you meaning the settings in the sequence menu?

    Basically, the view of a frame in the viewer window is of a much better quality than in the canvas window, and when I render out a quicktime at current settings, I am getting the lower quality images in my movie.

    How do I force render my timeline?
