pixel problems on import
by Joe Fatheree on Oct 24, 2003 at 12:34:49 am

Hi,
Some gave me a Flash animation that they want me to piece together for them in Media 100. When I imported the files I noticed that the images appear to be somewhat pixelated. Are there some settings that I need to tweak to bring in animations? I bring the clips in as Quicktime movies. I have used Flash before, but have never edited it before in Media 100. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help.

Open the flash file in QT player first, then scale it up to the video pixel size. Save. Then try importing. If the file is set for something smaller that will be the "starting size" that's scaled up - even though the flash file is vector format.

Makes sense. The file is 500X 400. I was trying to import it into a 640 X480 project. Does this also have an effect on the way the project looks. I thought since it was a vector file it would not cause a problem, but I guess only the swf file is vector not the Quicktime. Do I need Quicktime Pro to scale the file? Thanks a lot for the help.
