Video looses quality in timeline
Hi,
I am currently working with PAL video files for a short film-student project. I have captured videos into PAL widescreen files and they look great in the preview window. BUT, everytime I move them into the timeline, they loose quality and get very pixelated. Project is set to DV PAL widescreen 32kHz and files are :Type: AVI Movie
File Size: 12,7 GB
Image Size: 720 x 576
Pixel Depth: 32
Frame Rate: 25,00Any idea where I went wrong? I am rookie when it comes to resolutions and file formats. Please help.
PS: Video looses quality only when I hit play. When I hit pause, it gets back into high quality.
Thank You

Relax Markus,
it’s a playback only quality setting you aren’t losing any real quality to the original clips. Right click on the program panel (picture) and select quality, it will be set to auto, change it to high quality and it will stay at high when u hit play. If your system isn’t quick enough you might see dropped frames. I always edit with auto because it’s less stress on my system while editing. It doesn’t affect the exports. 😉

Your PC/video card cannot create a high quality real time playback. Is there a RED “needs rendered” line above the video clips is the timeline? You can render a high quality preview file if needed by pressing the Enter key with the Timeline window selected.
Also the Program window is zoomed out to display the entire video creating artifacts….try setting the zoom level to any even 50 or 100%.
