October 1, 2012 at 4:55 pm in reply to: Sequence settings don’t match video media settings: how to export without quality loss

Oh well if it’s that simple… Sorry, for some reason I was convinced it was a pain to change a sequence settings after the fact, so I didn’t even look into it this time. My mistake.

Thanks for the fast reply!

Well, I thought so as well, but what the client wants, the client gets!

Anyway, thanks for the sum up, this is exactly what I’ll remember from this experience.

I’m afraid I found the issue and fixed it but didn’t post here to share the answer. So here it is, better late than never…

Basically, I worked with a sequence of 360p resolution, but my final product needed to be in 240p (for a Flash video embedded in a website). So when I exported the sequence in 240p the image was downsized, and it lowered the quality of the titles (mainly) and the video a bit as well.

I created a sequence in 240p, put all my editing in there and exported it without downsizing, and it worked like a charm.

My 2 cents…

Hi guys,

Just to let you know I tried everything you advised without any success. Since I had to deliver my project on a short delay, I gave up trying to fix it properly and I used a work-around (output the sequence without any effect/filter/motion attribute, and do my final manipulations with QT7).

Thanks anyway for your help. The mystery remains full… Till next time I have some spare time to look into it.

I thought I had mentioned that but I didn’t: I’m recording videos in AVCHD at 1280×720 50p (European model of the camera).

Jerry,

So far I’ve only tested the settings I normally use: H.264 for the codec, .mov for the format.

But yeah, the end product is aimed at web streaming.

Thank.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the quick answer. From your advices I can see that I am not very clear on my issue.

The video in the Canvas is of excellent quality in all cases. The pixelated issue appears on videos exported from FCP. I did:
– a direct export as a Quicktime movie of my sequence
– a “send to” “Compressor”

All of which with various settings. Each time, whenever I edit my clips (motion attributes or filters) I have this pixelated effect. But it’s not during the rendering process itself (I might have use the word “render” to talk about the exporting before, sorry about that. I’m still learning).

Hope this makes it more clear.

Thanks and sorry for the difficulty.
