Sharpen Effect not working after Render
Hi!
I haven’t used the Sharpen effect much but I added onto a video recently and it worked fine during preview but the effect disappeared after rendering – as if the effect was never added. This is also an issue with Gaussian Blur. I’ve used all sorts of other effects and never encountered this issue. Does anybody know what might be causing this? When checking the preview settings and render settings, they seem to be the same.
Any suggestions or advice?

With these particular FX (maybe more but I’m not positive), you need to have your Preview window set to Best/Full to be able to accurately judge how they will affect your video.

I tried setting the Sharpen level to MAX. The preview screen showed the edges very clearly but when I rendered it, the final movie file did not have ANY edge lines at all. It looked exactly like the original video without the sharpen effect.

What format are you rendering to?
I just tried a still image rendered to AVI, MPEG-2 and MP4 and could see a definite difference depending on the format. -
Thanks Mike! I took your suggestion and tested several rendering file types and noticed differences too. I also noticed differences based on what the original source file type is as well. I guess I’ll have to try several combinations to see which works.

You’re welcome Wendy.
I wish there was a simple solution to this problem but sharpening is one of those FX that loves to make our lives complicated 🙂
