jittery and grainy

you can’t use avid’s DVE to zoom in on images. You can try pan and scan if you like but you’ll have best results just using after effects.
Avid still leans heavily in after effects as it’s DVE is still mid 90’s technology.

grin:
Do you mean I shouldn’t use Avid’s DVE to zoom in on images?
Because I know it can be done, I did it. It’s just the picture quality
suffers a little bit, and I want to correct that … does Avid Adrenaline have
a De-interlace filter? I don’t have AE, sorry.

[Grinner Hester]

I mean if you do, it’ll look nappy.
as you have found out.
Every Avid editor needs AE. At least until they upgrade their DVE. No need to think that’ll be anytime soon. It’s basicly the same one released in ’95.

Yeah you can zoom in all you want to with Avid’s DVE. Eventually you can go so tight as to be two pixels wide and one high. Realize though that Avid’s DVE is nothing more than rolling your chair towards the TV until your nose touches it. It doesn’t add pixels to your TV. There is no such thing as a de-interlacing thingy for Avid, Final Cut, etc. It only exists on CSI. The closest you can come is in After Effects, but only because the folks at AE know how to cheat better than anyone else.

The theory is all the same – if you shoot an SD image (720×486 pixels), then that’s exactly how many you have to work with. Honestly the best way to zoom in is to shoot HD and edit in SD. That gives you 1920×1080 pixels to play within your 720×486 frame.
