Does the quality playback matter when I import footage to edit in a project

I don't have an HD cam, but I have a professional camera, a Canon GL2 to be exact, and I was just dumbfounded when I was importing the video into my project and it was being viewed blurry! I then adjusted the playback quality to highest with field blending and it improved. My question is, will I lose the quality of my footage if I change the playback on the program? Another side question is, although my cam captures in 540 resolution, for 480p, will I always get the maximum quality set in my footage with iMovie HD?

the setting of the playback quality has no effect on the final project.. it is 'Preview quality' ..
and: when you export your project 'QT/FullQuality' and watch it with QTplayer, you'll notice again a (dramatic) loss in quality.. that, again, is a Player's fault: the file contains full quality, but the Player has to be set to 'high' ....
.... although my cam captures in 540 resolution, for 480p, will I always get the maximum quality set in my footage with iMovie HD?
iMHD is meant for TV delivery, so it offers 'just' the qualities, you choose under 'new project' ... (and, for sure, importing SD content into a hiDef project doesn't 'improve' the quality )

  • HR (Planning database) Does the account type matter when suppressing rows?

    Does the account type matter when using the Advanced Options row suppression?
    The report will suppress all the 0 rows if the suppression is based on a column with a Planning acct type "Revenue", but it doesn't do anything if the suppression is based on a column with a Planning acct type "saved assumption."
    Just wondering if this is why I can't get the report to suppress the rows. Everything else seems to be the same in the report.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance on this.

    Can you tell us how your Conditional Suppression is set up? If this report consists of account types Revenue and Saved Assumption only, and your conditional suppression works just on Revenue account types, you can insert a second condition for the Saved Assumption account types.
    Let me know if this helps or if you have any other questions.
    Cheers,

  • Why does the clone stamp work when I go from a darker colour to a lighter colour but not the other way around. How can I lighten up a dark area? Lasso tool takes from the wrong area too.

    Why do you use the Blend Modes Lighter and Darker at all in this case and not simply Normal?
    And what kept you from posting a screenshot?
    I borrowed the image below for an HDR workshop I ran at the 2010 PSNZ National Convention, to demonstrate a method of removing halos.  You'll remember that halos were a serious problem with early HDR, and while the halos in this image were caused by over sharpening, they are perfect for demonstrating this technique.
    It relies on the fact that halos so often tend to put a lighter tone between the two areas where sharpening is being applied. Whether that is the sky abutting a dark line of hills, or the rock and little tower as in this image.  I've uploaded it at the size it was supplied to me at (about 2700 pixels wide).  So
    Click to open the full image, right click and copy, and paste into Photoshop.
    Select the clone tool, and set its blend mode to Darken.
    Try to sample on a line horizontal to where you want to clone, to give the best tonal match, and start cloning.
    Because the sky is darker than the halo, it overwrites it. But the rock is darker than the sky, so it has no affect.
    It works even better if you clone on a new layer also set to Darken.  No masking, just Photoshop blend mode magic.
    You can also fix the little tower. Use a great big brush — just remember to sample horizontal to match the horizon.
    Back then I was using the same trick with CAs after forgetting to fix them in ACR, and having done too much work to start again after spotting the problem.

  • How well does the Droid Charge do when dropped accidentally?

    how well does the Droid Charge do when dropped accidentally? any screen or internal damages?
    I'm probably going to have some kind of rubberized case.

    Please consider getting an otterbox commuter case at least from amazon or otterbox.com
    the defender series otterbox case with screen protector case isn't being shipped yet so i am using
    the otterbox commuter case with verizon wireless store's 3pack of screen protectors - i do not like screen protectors but verizon sells the ones for the charge specifcally and it will
    hold me over just fine until defender ships in august or september
    either case helps to not accidentally press the power button easily while holding this droid Charge
    there's my advce
    ps these add bulk to phone i like the commuter case it is way sturdy polycarbonate or whatever STRONG black plastic with port covers except for hdmi that already has a cover built into phone
    the defender series will be bulkier

  • Why does the iPod duplicate songs when updating my playlists?

    Why does the iPod duplicate songs when updating my playlists? Also, you cannot use the "show duplicate songs" feature on the iPod - I suppose that is because it is not supposed to duplicate songs on the iPod. But, if that is the case - why does it do it?

    Try resetting your iPod, press and hold the power and the home buttons together approximately 15 seconds until the Apple logo appears. If that does not work try going into Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. If that does not work try connecting to you iTunes library via the cable and un-sync the library from your iPod then sync the library.  For the next 2 options backup your iPod first, then do a Restore iPod from backup, if that doesn't work... As a last resort Restore your iPod as New. I too had the red circle and square after updating to 7.0.4 the last resort fixed mine, others have reported doing all the above, all have had reports of fixing the problem and not fixing it. Give it a try, hopefully one of these works, Good luck.

  • HT1414 after downloading ios 6, i want to restore my iphone 4. does the original software download when restoring the phone

    after downloading ios 6, i want to restore my iphone 4. does the original software download when restoring the phone

    Downgrading of any version of iOS isn't supported by Apple. If you search the web, you'll find instructions that may work, but you're on your own should any problems arise. For many people it goes without problems, but for some it's reportedly bricked their devices.
    If you haven't done so already, try restoring your iPhone as a new device, not from a backup, and run just with the included apps for a bit and see how it performs. Cache corruption or incompatible software can cause performance and stability issues. No guarantees, but it's worth a try to at least try to identify what's causing the problems, iOS 6 itself or something you have loaded.
    Regards.

  • Y does the cd break up when its downloaded

    why does the cd break up when its downloaded

    It may not be convenient  long term but if you can test with ethernet and see if the problem goes away, then you'll have identified wifi as the issue.
    If problem persists on ethernet it's something else.

  • What does the apple sign mean when sometimes it shows ?

    What does the apple logo mean when sometimes i turn it on it just pops up and goes back to normal??

    Ayip,
    The Apple logo appearing on your iPod nano is your nano's start-up icon. Normally, when you turn off your iPod nano, you are really putting it into a deep or semi-deep sleep, where it is ready to turn on at the push of a button and resume where you left off in your Now Playing list.
    If, however, you leave your iPod in a sleep mode for some time , it will shut down. To turn it on again, you'll need to hit the center button (deep and semi-deep will wake up with any button press). When turning the iPod on from a shut down state, it will display the Apple logo while loading your music iPod software.
    Hope this helps!
    Sincerely,
    -FD

  • HT5262 where does the information get stored when you back up your i-phone? It just reports its done but I have no idea where to find it if I need it again!

    Where does the information get stored when you sync/back up your i-phone. I have no idea where to look if I need it again!
    Thanks

    You can chhose the backup when you would reset your device. In this case you would get the option, during the set up process, to choose your backup and restore your device from it.
    (You can find a few information e.g. size and date of your backup in "Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage")

    what does the revert option mean when you hook an ipod touch up to the to itunes?

    It means you changed some settings for how your iPod interacts with iTunes, you can either click Apply to confirm the changes, or Revert to undo them. This does not delete any content.
