    How come my image looks pixelated on a regular 19″ monitor.

    I imported regular 30p shot footage from a dvx100b into fcp at the NTSC easy setup. The image looks fine in the canvas and the viewer while they are smaller but when i try to view it through the full screen video playback it loses resolution a lot….am i doing something wrong.

    I appreciate any suggestions

    It would help to know what kind of “full screen video playback” you are using. Do you have a broadcast CRT connected to your system through a video capture card? Are you viewing footage played back through a monitor connected to a deck or camera that is connected to the host computer via Firewire? Are you simply using the “Digital Cinema Desktop” feature to play back your video on your computer monitor?

    These are basic details that you should include in your question to help readers figure out what your problem is.

    If you’re looking at standard definition DV playing back full-screen on your computer monitor, then yes, it will look awful.
