Poor quality NTSC DV movie
Hello,
I hate for this to be my first post in here, but it is ;P
I’ve got decent quality DV source footage, I have my project settings right (I think). However, when I export my movie to a QT file, it’s very soft and has a lot of jaggies. I seem to recall that there was a setting someplace but that was before I sat down with the program.
Is there some newbie tripper setting that I’m missing? I can’t believe the quality is this bad.
Thanks a lot for your help,

Two things:
1) How are you exporting it? FILE – EXPORT – QT MOVIE – CURRENT SETTINGS?? That will be the highest quality (given that your sequence settings are the same as your import settings)
2) What are you looking at when you see the exported file? Quicktime? External monitor from tape?
If you are in QT make sure you QT is set to HIGH QUALITY… here’s how:
With the file open…
HIT COMMAND-J
Select VIDEO TRACK
Select VISUAL SETTINGS from the tabs
Select HIGH QUALITY in the lower right cornerBut other than that — I’d want to make sure I was viewing my final product on an external monitor just to be sure.

Hi Michael,
Whew! You got it. Thank you. I knew it was sonmething like that.
Is there any way to make that setting the default? All of the files exported need to have this done.

Now that you have it set… it will remain so.
Good luck,
Mike
