Footage Gets Fuzzy on Playback
Hi, I’m one of the guys giving PPro a serious look right now. One thing I notice though is that when I play HD 720 or Canon 5D 1080 material, the footage blurs slightly during playback. I know the trick of making a sequence to match the footage, but when I jog through a frame at a time the footage is razor sharp, and as soon as I hit play the resolution cuts approximately in half. This is on a 12 core Mac and outputting on a Kona 3 with the new drivers and CS5.5, ATI 5870. I have a dual boot and tried this on the Windows side as well and it does the same.

Rendered? Is it fuzzy out of Kona too, or only on a computer monitor?

It’s fuzzy or soft on Kona out and on the PPro windows. I haven’t tried export yet. I’m certainly hoping it’s good there. And BTW the Canon footage is one thing but I’m also seeing it on DVC PRO HD and Prores. This is one thing I hope Adobe gets right as one of FCP’s greatest strengths is quick video response as well as good quality on the canvas as well as output.

Is your playback set to full?

Thank you. I had to Google that to find where the setting was as I didn’t run across it before.

Ah, sorry should have given you that little coloured button.

I’m very relieved it was operator error. I’m getting the hang of PPro pretty quick. It seems the most natural transition from from FCP since all the hardware and plugins work. Or at least the hardware -Kona 3- and plugins -Sapphire- I’ve paid for which is a fair amount of cash over just the software. I think Avid is really going to have to try even harder as those are pretty big issues.
