Render Quality
I´ve edited an animated short on final cut (Quicktime compression: Animation;720×480).
When I press play on the timeline the canvas image becomes brighter, but I didn´t think anything of it until I exported a PNG sequence and opened it in After Effects- the video starts with a fade-in from black and when the fade-in ends, the image abruptly becomes brighter from one frame to the next, as if it were reading the same thing I see on the FC timeline.
When I export thru quicktime conversion using Animation, the same thing happens. The problem goes away when I add a filter to all the video clips. Or else if I export thru quicktime movie only that the quicktime ends up weighing 8x more than if I export thru quicktime conversion (I need to compress for web and all the FC options for a good compressed file haven´t given me good results).
I´m still trying everything but its been 4 days and I´m starting to loose it!

The Animation compression settings doesn´t let me adjust video processing…

OK, I see, I don´t need to have the sequence setting on Animation compression (this was what was making it brighter when I played it).
Thank you very much.

Very strange, i haven’t had this problem before. Rendered an 8-bit NTSC sequence and the resulting QT is very pixellated/blocky. I’ve trashed prefs, same thing. I can scrub through the sequence and it looks great. Pausing on a single frame looks good, but doing the render results in this low res…and yes on export, i am choosing use “Current Settings”, but no dice…
Thanks again!
