re: split screen problem
I am working with FCP6. I want to put 7 clips on the screen. I put one track on top of the other. I go to the motion tab, change the scale, position the clip with Image and Wireframe. I render the sequence but everything looks so pixelated. I used to to this all the time with no problems.
Any thoughts???
Thanks,
Eileen -

What format of footage are you working with and what are your Sequence Settings?

You’re never going to get 7 images on the screen all scaled down to look good with that codec. 5:1 compression will complete fall apart as you squeeze down the image and put all of those on screen.
Might want to try putting those clips into a ProRes sequence and see if that works any better. Still going to be a lot of interlacing artifacts when you squeeze it all down though. Also make sure your Sequence Settings have the Motion Effects set to Best Quality for the rendering.
