Blurry images final cut pro

Hi. I am trying to do a little film out of some still images I shot recently. However, after importing these images into final cut they all look blurry. When I am doing the same in imovie, I get a good result. What is the problem? How can I fix it?
Thanks
Stephan

I just dragged some photos in the timeline (HD 30fps), and they always look blurry afterwards, even after the rendering. The images are high quality dslr images (file size between 4 to 6 MB). When I am doing the same in imovie, go to full screen it all looks ok, in final cut everything is blurry. I did not creat a final output yet, because I thought why should I waste time, if it looks that bad already from the beginning

  • MP4 video looks blurry in Final Cut pro

    So im recording screen captures from Jing Pro into final cut pro and when i view the captures NOT in fcp they look fine but when I view them in FCP and when i export them from FCP, the quality looks terrible, even when I put it at the highest possible quality (1280x1080).
    any fixes?
    please help

    Open up Compressor, add your video, in the presets type in ProRes, it should narrow it down. Choose the prores LT preset, make sure in the audio that it is enabled and set to Linear PCM 48K...
    Submit, and the resulting video should now look appropriate in FCP.
    In FCP, add your video to a clean timeline, FCP should ask if you want to change your sequence setting to match, click YES.

  • Proper Motion to Final Cut Pro 5 workflow for highest quality in Final Cut.

    I have read several post on Motion 2 to Final Cut Pro. I am somewhat unclear as to how to get the very highest quality Motion 2 project into Final Cut Pro 5. I am currently creating a new DV project in Motion 2, as I am working in DV in Final Cut Pro 5. I notice the Motion 2 files look blurry inside Final Cut Pro 5 when I import the Motion project file and add it to my sequence timeline. Clearly I am doing something wrong. Should I ever export from Motion as a Quicktime movie, and then add that Motion Quicktime movie to the sequence timeline? I know that the Animation codec gives the highest quality from Motion, but what about when you are using the Motion project file in Final Cut Pro 5?
    As always thanks in advance for taking the time to read and reply to my Post,
    Sebastian

    if you're exporting using the DV codec, Quicktime displays the clip at a lesser resolution than the clip actually is, and it will appear blurry on a computer monitor.
    open the clip in QT, go to "Window>Show movie properties". select the video track in the top portion of that window, then the "Visual Settings" tab. Check off the "High Quality" checkbox at the lower right of the window.
    this only affects DV codec clips, from what i understand.

  • I shot video on a Panasonic P2 and I'm trying to import the MXF files to Final Cut Pro but when I try to import, the only thing that imports is a blurry image of each clip. There's no audio and no video...how can I import MXF files into Final Cut Pro?

    at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
    So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
    vs
    using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
    Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
    All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

  • After editing in lightroom, i transferred the photo to final cut pro. However the photo that shows in final cut pro is the unedited version and a bit blurry. Any ideas?

    IIs there an export function from Lightroom? Did you export? Does the exported file contain your edit?
    THe hard drive file size doesn't matter. What matters is the image size, it's dimensions in pixels.
    IN FCP press Cmd-J to see the project properties.

  • Final Cut Pro Export To You Tube blurry

    Hello there
    I have just finished editing an HD video using final cut pro. I output as a mater file and it looks great! Crystal clear!
    I then tried to upload to YouTube, the 360 version (lowest quality) is very blurred but the HD version is crystal clear? Problem is most peoples YouTube will default to 360 or 420 and the video just doesnt look good? I have not had this issue before? I have used a different camera this time, that is the only diference I can think of? I have also tried the direct upload to YouTube from FCP with the same result. I would have thought this option would use the optimum codec for YouTube?? So disappointed as the video looks great and dont want a blurry video being out there??

    YOuTube recompresses the video. Can you post a link to it?

  • I'm thinking of using Final Cut Pro to straighten slightly crooked footage and then re-import back to iMovie to complete the video. Does this have any impact on image quality?

    As your rotate the image, you will begin to see black edges. So, as Tom implies, the image must be scaled up to hide those voids. If you shot 4k ad are editing in a HD timeline, no problem, lots of room to spare. If you shot 1080 and are editing in a 1080 timeline, you will run into issues at a certain point. However, if your 1080 project is going to be transcoded to 720 or ye olde DVD you won't notice any deterioration at all.

  • How to show each color channel image of a video on Final Cut Pro X

    Hi, Sir,
    How to show each color channel (R or G or B) image of a video on Final Cut Pro X? I found this feature is useful for the image quality editing, such as the noise reduction.

    Do you mean this?

  • Using Photoshop images in Final Cut Pro 6

    when using photoshop images (drawn images not photos) in Final Cut Pro, why do they blur when rendered??  What settings should I use when creating the images in Photoshop CS2 to be compatible with FCP 6?

    You're in the wrong forum.
    For FCP 1 to 7 you need the Final Cut Studio forum.

  • Quicktime 7.1.5/Final Cut Pro 4.5 Image quality problems

    Hi.
    A lot of the time when I export .dv video into a lower quality video (.mov, .mp4) there are weird lines that appear in the motion. It's hard to explain, so I will post an image of it.
    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/KhyronJinn/Screens%20with%20a%20purpose/Q uickTimePlayerScreenSnapz001.jpg
    *Just tried again*
    This happens with ANY export to any settings, even at the highest quality and almost identical hard drive space. I've also observed this problem when using still frames in Final Cut Pro, these lines of motion (I guess you could call them?) from one frame to another when extracted from a still. I'm at a complete loss here.

    Use the De-interlace filter in FCP...If your using Compressor, best bet is to de-interlace in Compressor.

  • Final Cut Pro X Image Sequence Export missing frames per second option?

    I am using the trial version of Final Cut Pro X.  I can export an image sequence but it will only allow me to do so at 30 frames per second -every single frame! 
    So a 10 min movie takes half an hour to export 20,000+ frames that no one on earth has time to look thru.
    In my old Final Cut Express I was able to choose 1 or 2 frames per second, which was just right.
    What am I missing?
    Do I need to buy Quicktime Pro or Compressor to allow me to export image sequences without exporting every frame?
    Why would Apple even have an image sequence export if it only allows you to export every frame, or it that only in the trial version?
    Thank you

    I found a free option for you, if you don't already have Compressor 4.
    In FCPX create your movie. Then SHARE as a Master File.
    Get MPEG Streamclip, which is a free app available here.
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    Drag your Master File into MPEG Streamclip.
    In MPEG Streamclip, select FILE/EXPORT TO OTHER FORMATS.
    In FORMAT: choose IMAGE SEQUENCE
    In OPTIONS, choose your frame rate.

  • Final Cut Pro X (10.1.1) can't be opened because "the image is not recognized".

    I have tried to download the trail version of Final Cut Pro X (10.1.1) twice but every time it has been downloaded my computer tells me it can't be opened because "the image is not recognized".
    Do any of you have a similar problem or know a solution?

    Also having this issue, Im on OSX Yosimite 10.10.1 trying to download the 30 day trial version of Final Cut Pro 10.1.4
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011)
    Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
    Mem: 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    I have downloaded the 30 day trial of Final Cut Pro from https://www.apple.com/ie/final-cut-pro/trial/
    The file which gets downloaded is "FinalCutProTrial10.1.4.dmg"
    The size of this file is 2,147,487,419 bytes (as viewed in the inspector)
    I would be interested to hear from anyone who installed this successfully whether the DMG file was the exact same size (although I have a feeling I wont hear anything as most people would delete the DMG file after installing).

  • How to send images to final cut pro X from Lightroom 3 ?

    How do I pick up sorted images from Lightroom 3 in Final Cut Pro X?

    Final Cut keeps saying that the TIF or Jpeg or apple is not a useable file extension. And QuickTime video will not work.

  • Animation. How do I import still images in final cut pro x (from dragon frame) duration 3 frames pr. image?

    Animation. How do I import still images in final cut pro x (from dragon frame) duration 3 frames pr. image? We have allready tried to set stillimages duration in preferences to 0,08 sek, but it does not have any effect!

    You can drag your images to the timeline, select all, ctrl-d and set the duration to 3 frames by typing 3 and enter.
    Or you can use Quicktime 7 to "open image sequence", select the desired duration, export your animation to quicktime and import that into FCP X for further editing.
