  • Video slightly blurred with titles

    Posted by Louis Basslines on November 7, 2014 at 1:59 am

    Video very clear when stopped, when I hit play it blurs slightly. I have a track above with a keyframe logo. When I uncheck title track the video plays clear. I rebooted FCP and it came back fine but so I rendered all. Suddenly a bunch of renders dropped off and the video is slightly blurred again with title track above.

    Any thoughts ?

    Is your sequence DV codec?

    [Nick Meyers] “re-render?”

    Yes, and make certain that your sequence RENDER ALL settings have FULL checked prior to rendering.

    [Michael Gissing] “Is your sequence DV codec?

    Yep, that’s also certainly another possibility.

    Even if you are editing DV your sequence settings should be changed to Pro Res, which will keep your titles and graphics in 4:2:2 color space, meaning a whole lot less interpolation of missing pixels will take place. DV works in 4:2:0 color space, which chucks out loads of pixels due to its much lower color space and inferior older compression algorithm.
