Images get blurry using rotate function in Motion tab
Working on a dual 2.5 g5 with FCP 5.1.4 and having big time issues with using the rotate function. Every time I rotate an image even .5 it gets slightly blurry and noticeably degraded from the original. I have an NTSC monitor and it shows up the same. I have been working in FCP since version 1 and never had this issue. It doesn’t require rendering, but I’ve tried rendering just in case, but it remains blurred.
Any suggestions?

Anything you do with the motion tab, especially rotation, will require rendering,
even with the fastest Mac. It will playback (RT function will show green line) but will require
rendering for output to tape or seeing it full resolution. You want a blue line up there.
If you are looking at it on an NTSC monitor through an AJA or BM card, after rendering, and it’s still blurry, I’d check my RT settings to see if you have it set for full resolution
when outputting tape. I just did some some rotation stuff in 5.1.4 last week,
turning DVD artwork to look like a DVD moving, and it looked fine. But I was using
artwork that had twice the video resolution available to work with. It wasn’t just
720 by 480 video. Maybe video won’t look as good when rotated. Never tried
rotating regular video, only artwork or graphic elements.Dan
