exporting still images
I’m working on a video right now that requires a few title screens within the video. They look fine when I import them and put them on the timeline on my screen and my tv monitor, but when I export the quicktime they get pretty blurry.
I don’t know if it’s the picture format I imported (I’ve tried a few) or if there’s something I could do to my export settings.
any suggestions?

Do you mean that you are exporting stills using quicktime conversion? Or that your stills are gettting blurry after you import them into your timeline for editing?

it’s when I export the timeline as a quicktime, it’s mostly video elements, which all look fine, it’s just the logos and titles that look bad. It looks fine on my monitor when it’s in the timeline for editing, it only looks bad in the quicktime I export using current settings
I should clarify, I’m not exporting still images, I’m exporting a video timeline with picture files on it.

From your decription its clear that your working on a DV timeline. What you’re experiencing is the DV compression hit on your graphics.
To avoid this you can either 1) cut and paste everything into a 8-bit uncompressed timeline and render, or 2) change your compressor setting on your current timeline in Sequence Settings to 8-bit uncompressed and re-render.

If you are exporting a QuickTime DV file and viewing it in QuickTime Player, chances are it doesn’t look as bad as you think.
Check to see if High Quality video was selected in QT – Movie Properties – Video Track – Visual Settings window.
DV files normally look like crap in QT unless this is selected.
