ROTATING Image in FCP – Image gets distroted or pixilated as the image rotate – Please Help

First, are you monitoring your work on an external monitor? If not, then you’ve no proper way to judge the real quality of your work.

Second, have you rendered the still at full quality? If not, then you’re not seeing the real quality of what your doing.

Third, there are no inches in video, DPI is meaningless. What are the real dimensions, in pixels, of your picture? Is it at least large enough to do the move that you’re describing? From the sound of it, your dimensions should be at least 1440X960 pixels, maybe as high as 2160X1440.

Thanks for responding
It has nothing to do with the dimension. The dimensions are large enough,
The picture is rendered in FCP.
Your suggestion to make this a larger file did not work.

I still have the same issue,

If your pixels are buzzing try a small blur – 1 to 2 pixels.

Or try reducing the resolution – I know it sounds strange but, if you only need the picture to fill the screen, you only need 720×480 or thereabouts. If the picture is at some point more than full screen, give yourself a little more resolution to work with.

Is your image broadcast safe – do you have bright reds or full whites? You may want to apply the broadcast safe filter or mess with the colors in photoshop.

Hope one of these solutions works,

Just turn on the motion blur tab and drag the slider down to under 100 units. 4 samples (default) is OK most of the time.

And definitely preview on the NTSC once it’s done. 🙂
