Whenever I have a new project, I go into it hoping it will be a bit more smooth sailing because of some problem that I was able to fix in the last project. But no. some infuriating new issue crops up every time. :grumpy:

Here's the new issue:

I am doing some basic motion moves - a simple 'tilt' effect move of a picture. The 'tilt' part is fine, the problem is that when I click on the picture to see it in the viewer, the picture is clear. When I look at it in the canvas, the picture is blurry. Even after I render the effect.

Oh, lucky me. Yet another irritation to slow me down. Anybody know why the picture in the canvas and on the timeline is blurry? I assume I'm missing some step, but I can't seem to figure out what that is :rolleyes:

don't trust the canvas (or the viewer for that matter)... they dumb down the image to run at a close to actual speed as possible.

....so, just 'cuz it looks a little blurry, doesn't necessarily mean its blurry :huh: I have been taught that often enough I should trust my eyes.

I know when I import footage, the focus is a bit soft, but not when everything is imported and ready to be edited so that's not what I'm looking at....

Okay, I'll take your word for it :yes: and let you know what happens....

Set your in and out points on the timeline and do a short test output to see how the full quicktime output looks.
