  • Real-time blurry issue??

    Posted by Berry Helfand on January 25, 2006 at 5:42 pm

    This seems like a simple problem…but i just don’t know how to solve it.

    When i’m using graphics, they show up blurry, until i render them…or if I put enough effects on them them incapable of playing back in real-time.

    In other words, when the clip has a “green” line (real-time) over it, it’s blurry…once i add enough junk to make it red (needs render) then it will give me a preview that is crisp.

    So, I guess the question is….is there anyway to toggle the “real-time” playback so that I can preview my graphics crisp — for placement purposes — then toggle it back on when i’m done?

    hope this makes sense.

    thanks.

    Why don’t you use a video monitor like the rest of us? You’ll always be able to preview the quality of your FX that way. Especially after they’ve been rendered.

    Actually, I am using a monitor. But, nevertheless, what you see on the Canvas is exactly what you see on the monitor. Perhaps i didn’t explain myself too well. I’m just talking about when the clip is parked on a frame and it’s got a green bar above…it’s blurry. But as soon as the clip becomes either:

    non realtime (say if I enable “motion blur”),
    or
    competely rendered,

    it shows up clear as a bell. It’s only when the clip is “green”, that it’s blurry.

    changing any of the playback controls doesn’t seem to help either…safe or unlimited, dynamic or high.

    any ideas?

    It should not be blurry if you are in Safe RT and in High Quality, not Dynamic.
