You could not be more right Ryan. If I count ‘cutting and pasting’ super-8 film back in the early 80’s, I am now on my 8th editing system in my career (just made the jump from FCP7 to PProCC). Does it take some time to find one’s way around the new interface? Of course. But I would certainly come down on the side of “short sighted’ for the company that placed that original ad.

In my teaching I address this very same thing in this way:

Take any writer. Stephen King for example. Whether you think he is any good or not he is surely an accomplished writer. By virtue of all that he has written, he is also an accomplished typist. If someone (somehow) was able to come in overnight and change all the keys on his keyboard so that all of the letters were in different places. Stephen would no longer be that accomplished typist. He would struggle for a while to learn the new keyboard and his production would slow. But before too long he would be right back up to speed.
The keyboard is just a tool of course. Just like an editing program… or for that matter, someone who believes that the editing program makes the editor. ;-D (just kidding… mostly)

So I’m looking to see if anyone has a solution to this issue? Why does premiere not use the full resolution of the files when in a nest?

thanks again, mick

It’s 4K footage in a 4K timeline.

Basically, I have four members of a band each shot head to toe (4K) on green screen. They have been placed in and on a background I created using layers of Jpegs. They have been “shrunk’ to various scales to fit in this. Now that I have the whole ‘wide shot’ created I want to do some camera movement within this new world. All that is fine and working. But the resolution suffers when I zoom into the ‘nest’ as premiere pro seems to have ‘forgotten’ that the files had better resolution (seems to be taking the new ‘shrunken’ resolution).

Thanks Alex!
