motion issue
I am trying to create a simple motion sequence in which I use an image (10 mb tiff file) covered by a black screen which fades away leaving only the image on the screen (a sort of fade to white exposing the image). The problem is that when I export to quick time the image is blurry. I have tried a number of different settings for my export and still can’t make the image crisp. I would think that a 10mb image would be sufficient enough to look crisp. It looks perfect when I view the tiff full screen. Why does motion seem to not think so?
I have also tried doing it in fcp which leads to the same result.
thanks,
damon

I am planning on using the sequence as an opening logo for a production company.
It would be attached to a fcp project and eventually burned to dvd.

You said that the picture looked bad when you exported to QT.
To which coded did you exported?

I apologize.
I have tried just about every option available. ProRes 4444 seems to be the least blurry, but still not acceptable.
When I imported the image into motion, it was so big that I had to scale it manually (turned off scale to canvas option) to 30% or less just to get the image to fit on the canvas. Why am I losing so much image quality, and when is it happening?

Motion shouldn’t have problem to deal with big pics.
You can try to downscale the picture using the “Lanczos” filter (in the Image units). Is the best filter available for this purpose in FCS.
BTW, are you rendering in 16/32b, don’t you?

thanks for all of your help the “Lanczos” filter helped. I also changed my project presets and now have the image looking perfect!
