  • Sequence gets blurry when I add a filter

    Posted by Etienne Berthiaume on December 16, 2007 at 2:25 am

    Hello experts. I don’t know if you could help me. I’m trying to add a black rectangle to hide something on a sequence. I’m capable of doing so, but as soon as I get the rectangle on the sequence, everything gets a bit blurry. I’ve tried by adding a rectangle shape directly in the filters. I’ve also tried adding a rectangle image made with photoshop. What am I doing wrong ?

    Thank you for your help

    Etienne

    This sounds like your sequence is lowering it’s quality, probably due to it being set on dynamic. This is so you have few rendering times and can be more productive. If this is the case, then what your seeing is not going to be the finished look, but is un-rendered video that brought it’s quality down so you can edit/play it with out rendering.

    Check to see if the render bar(At the very very top of the timeline) is either green or orange. If so, then you need to render the sequence to see it in full quality. If it is light grey, or a grayish blue, then it’s probably something else.

    I hope this helps!! and good luck
