As for the blurriness…
open your DV quicktime into quicktime player. You need quicktime pro in order to do this.
go to window menu>show movie properties (apple-J)

then select the video track and click on the visual settings tab.
there will then be a check box in the lower right that says “high quality” make sure it is enabled.
this should now make the video nice and crisp.

As for the Black Magic DV encoder, I’m not so sure about that .
good luck

when I use the display tag-visibility on the object that is being emitted it controls all of the particles that are born from the emitter.
also, this may be due to my lack of knowledge of how display tags work, but I can’t find a way to animate tags. I go to the object track in the timeline and try to add an animation track for display tags, but can’t seem to find them.
anyway I don’t think this will work because I need to change visibility on each particle generated individually.
I think I will look at thinking particles.

thanks!

that does not quite do it. That will set the overall visibility of all the particles. What I am thinking of is the behavior of each individual particle as it is born and as it dies. seems more like it would be a setting of the emitter or of the actual emitted object. I tried visibilty on the object that I am emitting, but it had no effect.
