Two issues here - question about adequate/appropriate transcode settings, and question about screen fuzzy.
First, whoa! I just started transcoding EX-1 files with Prospect, and a 21 1/2 minute clip ends up as a 43 G file (!) when using the "Film" transcode setting. So, I tried the next less intensive setting, and that resulted in a 24 G file - so with a hard drive used for everything but operating programs, I will still probaby have room for transcoding about four hours of raw shoots - I assume that for most of us producing both DVD-R and BD-R, the setting just below "Film" will be sufficient? What do the rest of you working with this find?
Secondly, when I put full 1080 30p clips on the timeline in Premiere CS3 (3.2) on a PC, the picture is, of course, sharp as a tack. But the second I hit "Play", everything becomes incredibly fuzzy (not smeared, but fuzzy). I'm editing on an "old" Boxx - two dual 3.0G Xeons, 4 g Ram (3G switch enabled), NVidia Quadro FX 1500, viewed on two 24" Dell LCD hi def monitors. Until recently I was editing on the same equipment (with Aspect) - from FX-1, HDV, 1080 30p (converted from interlaced by Aspect) and I just don't recall ever seeing anything like this - do any of you with experience have any suggestions as to the possible cause as well as a possible solution?
