So I'm trying to track down the source of some pixelation/compression in my current project. There are a handful of scenes with heavy red backgrounds
I have created two different rips, one via MTR, and one via OSEx.
- Both rips when burned right back to DVD (via Toast) look like the original movie.
- Both rips when opened in MPEG Streamclip look good in the preview. When exported through Stream Clip as QT files (max quality) the resulting QT file looks fairly good with slight compression visible in the reds
- When imported into FCP, the slight compression seen in the QT files is now really blown out. I've included images below:
Original movie
QT exported via MPEG Streamclip
Image in FCP Canvas
The image as seen in the Canvas is about how it looks on a computer monitor. On a large screen TV the pixelation smooths out some, but the loss of detail is definitely there.
Does anyone have a clue as to why/how this is happening, or what settings I might need to check or change?
Thanks!
