PSD keys blurry & shake in FCP 4.5HD
I’m importing photoshop graphics and keying over footage and sometimes they are fuzzy and move around slightly as sequence is played. In the credits, I’m layering a header graphic on one V-3; type that I position under the header on V-2; and a background on V-1. The header (v-3) jiggles when the type (v-2) is changed for credits. There is also a green line on top of the graphic sections along with the rendered blue line in other sections at the top of my sequence which leads me to belive that perhaps it’s not fully rendered. Help. Thanks. Jay

Yep – not fully rendered. The jiggles and blurs are from a real-time render.
Under Render All or Render Selection, you need to make sure that the green real time render option is checked off. Any thing that gets checked off in these menus will be force-rendered.

Yes!!! Thank you Mike. But,I’m not sure I corrected the rendering problem throughout the sequence correctly. I went to my bad section and went to render full and a list of colored lines appeared. I clicked on the green one and that section is fine now with a blue line throughout. But another section still has the green line. I’m now doing that section as well. Is there an easier way to pre-set the render settings? My green option was not checked under render selection pull down. Jay

Okay – there are two renders – render all and render selected – Command-R and Option-R. With nothing selected, render selected will render all.
In your pull-down menus, the options that are checked are what will be rendered when you hit Command-R or Option-R. On the render menus, I usually have everything checked (turned on). This means that when I hit render all, everything is rendered – even if it could be played back real-time.
Sometimes I will turn off (uncheck) the real-time renders and audio rendering to speed up my work flow.
On a side note, when you print to tape, everything is force rendered. This ensures that what is put to tape is full quality, also, playback is stopped if any frames are dropped, further ensuring a high quality dump to tape.
