  • i just cant get these tiffs working

    Posted by Mark Francis on June 8, 2011 at 8:28 am

    i now im a pain but i need some serious help with this thing. Can someone explain in detail how to go about solving this problem?

    i put the tiffs into stomp to decrease file size then i pop them into fcp. They look a bit soft inside of fcp and thats before i even render the images out of fcp. when i do render out my tiffs from fcp5 they are too soft. ive uploaded an image of the settings and an image of what the QT final render looks like.

    i have asked before for help but people are at a loss like me? cheers

    Don’t use h.264. It is not an editing codec. Use ProRes.

    If these are your only options, use Animation codec.
