Yikes, that is not good news for someone who has spent 2 months editing to hear! This is an amateur project and I’ve just compressed the exported files to mpeg2 for dvd so I’m gonna burn a disc and see if it looks alright. I know it won’t look perfect but hopefully it’ll be ok – signs so far are promising that it’ll be alright. I’ll know in future to compress all my video to the same specs before editing. I may even redo this project at a later date if I find myself with lots of spare time, to compare the difference if nothing else.

Thanks for your time
Michael

Sorry, only just seen this new reply. I may well post some screen prints so you can see what I mean later but the problem has kind of sorted itself out, I found when I compressed and created a dvd, the pixelation didn’t occur – I can’t figure out why and I’ll show you a youtube clip when I get home where it looks perfectly acceptable. Very strange.

Thanks for your response, much appreciated guys.

Doesn’t sound promising, can’t seem to find either filter you mention in fcp either. A real shame, this will definitely ruin the project 🙁
