Video goes fuzzy when I just move it down?!?!

[Walter Biscardi]

if you’re playing it in realtime, it will degrade until you render it out.

Also, when you move video up or down in NTSC, you must move it to an even scan line or it will look degraded. In the Motion Tab, ensure that the Center setting has an even number on the second setting. Such as 0,10.

That fixed it.
Just moved it to an even scan line.
THANKS!!

When I have to adjust position and screen size, I get everything in the general area I need it for the rough cuts, and then go back and even out all the number before my big final render. I do have a question though, when using LiveType or motion (to import later into FCP 5.0.2) do I need to keep those numbers even in LiveType or Motion? This is why I ask: When working in those programs, I get my text or graphics right where I want them, so that I’m not moving the clips position/scale in FCP. So since I’m not adjusting anything in FCP, I should be alright, right?

I’d still be mindful of the odd/even scan line issue. You may want to do a test.
