adding motion to still images

[fionawhitty]

I have added motion to still images in Final Cut pro but when made into quick time movie and burned the movement in the images is really blurry. How can I fix this problem?

Would really appreciate help asap.

Thanks,
Fiona

By "add motion" I assume you mean the "Ken Burns Effect" type of thing - pans and zooms across the image ?

Looks blurry in the quick time movie, or just the burned DVD ?

If it looks blurry in the quicktime movie, can you turn off Motion Blur in FCP (assuming it has such a setting - most do), or if it is off, set it to high quality ?

If the quicktime movie is fine, then the DVD conversion process is the issue. In this case, what did you use to create and burn the DVD ?

Hi yes sorry its the key motion tab in FCP. The movement is blurry when it is a quick time file. Somebody else told me to turn on Motion blur in fcp to blend it in more???
What do you think?

Thanks!

You have nothing to lose by trying it. Without being able to see the output file, it is hard to say. Exporting with too much compression (i.e. too low a bitrate) can also have this effect.
