Unsharp preview

Shine wrote on 11/19/2009, 2:27 PM

Hello again,

I will need your assistance again.
When playing the video from timeline the preview is unclear and of a bad quality compared to the original. When expanding the view to full screen it is more or less unusable.
How can this be fixed?

You're probably seeing the preview in the "Preview/Auto" mode. Change this to "Best/Full," which should improve things for you.

Also, keep in mind that if you have lots of FX applied -- e.g., color correction, slo-motion, complex pan and crop, etc., -- the playback frame rate will be slower than normal, which may also make the image look less sharp than you expect.

While I agree with JackW, it's probably the settings in the preview, I've always found that video I view in the trimmer is sharper than the timeline preview.

also right click on the preview window and make sure the box that reads:
adjust size and quality for optimal playback is not checked.
I don't even know why they put that in there. It makes everything look terrible.
