Layouter, Detail & Small Adjustments

[Bassman]

Hello,

I have an NX system and have always noticed a certain behavior when using Layouter. I would like to ask the people 'in the know' if what I am seeing is a function of the NX card or a software function of the layouter.

If I move the image in the "Y" direction, Layouter gives you very precise amounts to move. If one looks close, there is a distance where every so often where the image is sharpest. Keep adjusting and it will slightly softer until the next sharp area is reached.

I am using progressive footage but is this related to the NX's interlaced background? Maybe my JVC HD editing monitor?

I would not think any position would be any different in a progressive world.

One last question, do HDMI output card people see this?

Thanks.

this is a known issue

so to avoid, switch layouter to px and not %

and always move to an even location like Y-20, 22, 24, 26 etc or X60, 62, 64 etc

never land on odd pixel or in between pixel like 62.3

it is more an issue with SD, not really as critical in HD
