Re: Blur when size reduce

I've got a client waiting on it, so I've pulled an all nighter trying to figure things out.

In response to you Noah,... where did you want me to check that setting? I checked within Motion, and I don't have that option. So then I checked within Final Cut, and I was able to change the sequence settings to 8-Bit Uncompressed. Then I re-rendered out a Motion Clip on the Final Cut timeline. Still, the clip is perfect at 100%, but 99% and smaller when scaling became blurred again.

As of last night and today I've had the best luck with the following:
Capturing footage within Final Cut Pro and dragging it to the timeline. Then pulling that clip into Motion where I key out green screen footage with a DVGarage plug-in. When happy, I go back to Final Cut timeline and export the footage at 640 X 480 Progressive. *I tried both (Lower line interlaced, and Progressive*
Then, I go into the main Motion project that contains several still images. I then import the progressive dv footage I just exported from Final Cut. I am then able to scale the video down to about 74%, and for the most part it seems to hold its clarity.

Naturally, this is a VERY long process to complete something that should really be as simple as clicking the down scale arrow. Something still isn't figured out. This was just a long way to get a job done under time constraint.

Thank you very much for your help thus far!
