  • Started with screen recordings provided to me that made using quicktime 10
  • took quicktime 10 screen recordings and converted them to prores422 HQ in compressor (settings from compressor below)
  • imported into FCP 7.
They look great in viewer, reasonably sharp and crisp, but them very blurry in canvas and when I export to quicktime movie (not using quicktime conversion). Been using FCP 7 a couple years but my knowledge in many aspects is sub professional.

Tried creating a new sequence to get the sequence to match the settings of the quicktime prores422 screen capture movies but to no avail. The settings of the sequence are not the same as the screen capture movies...I even tried to change the sequence settings but no luck (then exited FCP without saving so as not to screw anything up).

Im probably breaking basic rules here...any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you
