Graphics look bad!!
Posted by Kristi on August 5, 2005 at 2:38 pmI am exporting slides from powerpoint in jpeg format, 72dpi, 640×480 and they look HORRIBLE when exported from FCP. They look great in the program, but not after rendering/exporting. PLEASE HELP!

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

August 5, 2005 at 7:16 pmAre you equating exporting with playing back on an ntsc monitor? Just sounds like they need to be rendered to me. There aren’t any green lines in your timeline, right? The IO will play lots of stuff in real time it claims. But stuff like jpegs always look like junk until renered.
Why aren’t you using a better format like tif? Everytime a jpeg is exported or saved it gets uglier.

Try changing your render settings to “Linear(fastest)” instead of “Normal” or “Best.” I have had to experiment with all these settings because they have a huge effect on speed changes, cropping clips, and text being rendered in FCP 5.02.
