Edius is incapable of generating a still in a bitmap type format (such as TGA, etc.) where the brightness/look-of-the-image is IDENTICAL to an adjacent HQ clip when that still is used on the timeline abutting the original HQ clip. This was confirmed by others in a thread long ago and Brandon gave me the only viable solution which is to render a single frame HQ file of the desired still area and then adjust the speed of that still HQ clip to be as long as desired.
This produces an identical still and works well (although it's a bit of a hassle to have to set IN and OUT points, render, adjust speed settings, etc. before being able to place/adjust the still clip on the timeline. It would be far better if GV simply made a function where the user could save an 'HQ-Still' in one easy step and then drag the IN/OUT of the still clip without the need for the speed settings hassle... but I digress).
But my current problem is this. Normally, this one-frame HQ method works flawlessly for me. I render the HQ clip, set the speed to something like .11, set de-interlace to NONE and then adjust this clip on the timeline.
But for some reason, I have just rendered an HQ one-frame clip, and when I go to set the speed, the clips instantly becomes half-res. If I set the speed back to 100%... the clip is full-res again. Anything less than 100% and the clip drops to half-res. It's like the clip is being de-interlaced even though I have set de-interlace to NONE.
Is this a known issue I've missed with 4.61? I should note that this is an older project that has been opened in 4.61.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
