  • Quicktime pro High quality setting

    Posted by Trey Eckles on September 1, 2006 at 11:25 pm

    I have QTpro and there is a setting under “show movie properties/visual setting” called high quality. When I select that setting my video appears very crisp on screen in QTpro.

    I imported the footage in FCP. After I deinterlace the footage in Final cut pro it still appear very soft compared to the QTpro version.

    How do get this crisp look in final cut pro. The output is for CDrom, Flash, and Web.

    Thanks!

    Shane’s Stock Answer #2: Blurry playback

    ONLY JUDGE THE QUALITY OF YOUR MATERIAL ON AN EXTERNAL NTSC MONITOR, OR AT LEAST A TV.

    1. Disable overlays on the canvas
    2. Make sure you’ve rendered everything (no green bars at the top of the timeline

    Video playback requires large amounts of data and many computations. In order to maintain frame rate and be viewable at a normal size, only about one-fourth of the DV data is used in displaying the movie to the screen. However, the DV footage is still at full quality, and is best viewed thru a TV or NTSC monitor routed thru your camera or deck.
