You can slightly improve the quality of this by using HQ mode (a button on the Effect Editor toolbar in 3D Warp).įourthly, you can improve the image interpolation by setting your Render settings to Image Interpolation using Advanced Polyphase instead of trhe default Standard Bilinear. Subsequently re-sizing the image with 3D Warp etc is going to soften the image because it's necessarily using the 720x576 downconverted media. Thirdly, unlike FCP, the import process in Avid creates new media at the frame size of the Project - in this case 720x576. Bear in mind also that Avid only outputs Field 1 of the frame to the computer monitor, so you're seeing half res anyway.

Secondly, even if the above isn't the issue, are you viewing the timeline at full res (green mode)? Graphics will look jaggy in yellow/green mode. This will result in flickering effects when playing the graphic back The reason is because it's likely that fine details in the original image may become small enough after resizing to be present only on one field of the interlaced frame. From 3162x2279 to 720x576 is more like 25% of original size, and I think you will quite likely see artefacts from such a large downscaling, particularly if you're working in a 25i project. Why cant i just downscale like i could in FCP?Ģx2.4 GHz quadcore Xeon, 24gb ddr3, ATI Radeon HD 5770, OSX 10.6.8įirstly, you're not downscaling to 50-80% of original size. I've used various effects to rezise (key matte, Avid fx, 3d warp) all result in the same poor quality. I can get around the problem by composing the graphics in photoshop on a SD (1024x 576 square pixels) canvas and brining that into MC and the graphics look great until i need to resize them even a little bit.Obviously this workaround is not ideal. If graphics are brought into MC this way and downscaled to fit on an SD time line they look rubbish. Project type: 25i pal, Aspect ratio:16:9, Colour space:YCbCr601(greyed out), Raster Dimension: 720x576. Then in MC i import the png as a 1:1mxf, options dialog menu: resize image to fit format raster. Hi resolution jpg (3162x2279 pixels) supplied by 3rd party.

Any thoughts on how to avoid this loss in quality would be great. I realize upscaling graphics would result in pixillation, but downscaling shouldn't be a problem should it? At least this was not the case in FCP. When graphics are resized to be smaller (50% to 80% original size) there is a very noticeable loss in image quality that takes place. Any help with the following would be greatly appreciated as I have recently jumped ship from FCP to MC 5.5.3
