  • HELP! Clips appear low rez

    This is from an earlier thread… I still haven’t been able to troubleshoot. Here is a screen cap followed by the description of my problem:

    I’m working in DV. I capture using FCP. When I import to AE my clips look low res. Pixelated. Ugly. The files I capture in FCP look great in FCP but the same ones look terrible in AE (this is true whether I import a self-contained QT exported from FCP, a reference movie out of FCP, or even the actual captured QT movie clip itself imported directly into AE).

    My settings in AE is the preset, DV 720 x 480. The layer quality is set to “best” and the resolution is set at “full” in the composition settings. I have tried a half dozen suggestions from Creative Cow posters but nothing has worked so far. Any input is GREATLY appreciated.

    Steve Roberts answered my question:

    Try turning field separation off on interpretation. It tends to mess up static clips.

    Thanks a lot, Steve. I love this message board.

    yeh, it’s a bit counter-intuitive, but it works. 🙂
