    Hello all,

    I’m re-editing an SD pan & zoom project I did some years ago (pre-64 bit) in MC 6.0.1 and having some quality issues with the final render.

    Specifically, diagonal edges are showing jagged, interlacy looking artifacts throughout the zooms/pulls. This occurs when I render using the previous original settings (1:1; usually Avid HQ or B-Spline in P&Z settings). Even tried 16-bit to no effect. The best description I can give is that it looks like the resulting video is playing in 1/2 field (like when the playhead is paused).

    Additionally, Pan & Zoom no longer imports PSD files, and no, they are not on a shared drive.

    Are any of y’all seeing the same issues?

    A followup: I’ve confirmed that P&Z is not rendering both fields properly. The worst looking shots are simply one field repeated which looks like crap in a zoom. 🙁
