Poor video quality on capture
Hello, I’m taking my first step in FCP6. (used to work on Adobe premiere PC version)
So let’s start:
I just captured a PAL DV CLIP with my Sony DECK…It captured with no problems but the video seems “low quality”.. when I ran the QT mov file it looks like this
Why is that?
Im using the PAL DV capture preset.. this is the first time I run FCP.. but when I worked with DV matterials on PC it looked hell better!any Ideas?

DV has two display modes… if you are opening the QuickTime move in WuickTime player… it displays it using the low mode.
You can call up teh movie properties and check the High box
FCP always uses the High mode

You’re welcome…
When I used to teach college I would show this REPEATEDLY…
yet I’d still have students who’d keep rerendering their projects and re-exporting because they thought somethign was wrong.
Basically its a leftover from early days if DV and it let people edit on slower computers

True, BTW during capture FCP preview window is also low res!
I mean – I have a Quad core machine here 4GB ram… most ppl that use FCP have a strong machine… I think they need to correct it…
But as I mentioned this is one of my first steps in FCP…
I worked with avid and mostly in Premiere (from 6.5 till CS3)Premiere looks pretty much like FCP, they even got some identical short-keys
P.S
I did like that during capture I can use other programs.. Avid was very intolerant about it…
Do you think it can damage the captured meterial somehow?-Excuse my poor English…
