ynotfish, it is a way around but do not like that one of the most popular applications in the world cannot render good quality standard PIP videos.

ynotfish, thanks!
a transparent png would work... but... what do you suggest for my project?
I will have a png background image 1920x1080 and need to insert video clips inside 1280x720

ynotfish, great work but what you did was not PIP really? My project involves a Full HD background png file and I will have to insert 720p clips.
I have no issues producing full resolution clips, images etc. in PD. The issue is when I insert sth smaller (PIP).
And I as I saw, PlaySound did not receive sharp outputs either.
Just to complain a bit - I am disappointed as I've opened two tickets with CL and they have ignored me since.... it's been a week now.
In my opinion, if we cannot produce a perfect PIP quality output, it should be reported back to them.
BTW - to be fair - Corel X6 that I use does exactly the same thing - it is blurry. However, Adobe and Sony produce a 100% perfect output.

Guys could you check the clip I uploaded to check if you design your PIP in the same way pls?
|
|
|
PlaySound, thanks for that!
The quality of your PD output is unacceptable for me, it is all blurred. It is better than I got but still bad if you compare to the source file... It has to be sharp, I need it for text and screenshots with lots of text 
How did ynotfish receive almost a perfect PIP?
BTW. Just tried a trial version on Win7, exported as mpeg (trial does not allow to save as 720p mp4) - still all blurred

Really appreciate your help guys!
Ynotfish - it looks great, as you saw in my example I am not picky here, it is bad quality, not just 1% off 
Is it possible that it is Windows 8 doing it? Maybe will put a trial on Windows 7 or sth?
Or am I doing sth stupid that causes it.
Please find a clip showing how I created this project

PlaySound, is pd13.jpg the one you produced using PD13?
What is mac.jpg pls?
|
|
|
And as promised - the same project compiled by Adobe Premiere..
I really hope I am making a stupid, simple mistake here...
|

|

Yes, I have it ready. The background image, PIP image and the final clip
|

Carl312, I am NOT importing a small image. Actually, I even tried a bigger one (e.g. 1300x400) and resized it to 1280 to make sure I do not exceed the original size - still poor quality.
Please check the screenshot - it is EXACTLY the same size as the original one.
Not sure what you mean by resizing - it is PIP, my background clip is e.g. 1920x1080, I insert an image/clip e.g. 400x400 and keep it as 400x400. I expect PD to produce this PIP with the original quality as I DO NOT resize it at all. Unfortunatelly it does not.

Any ideas please? It is unbelievable you cannot get a good PIP output. I just tried in Sony and Adobe with the same files - no problems with PIP...

Attaching again

That's what I mean! Why does it fill the screen? How do I restore it?
E.g. background is 1920x1080, image is 1280x720.
Here is the screenshot
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ci37uk2sr4c5s0l/err-pd.png?dl=0
The top one comes from a PIP video, the bottom one is the source file...
|
|
|
I will attach a screenshot soon.
Do not understand why the PIP image resolution cannot be kept? Let's say my project is 1920x1080, I am adding 1280x720. That is a perfect match for this project, right?
I am just talking about the way that PD inserts PIP images/videos. Why doesn't it insert using the source dimensions?
|
|
|
Thanks PlaySound but it does not address my concerns:
1. How do I match the original dimensions? Using the white balls it is a guess game. I insert e.g. 800x600 and need it to be like this
2. The final output is bad... really bad... (I am talking about PIP). I tried with an image... it is just all blurred). It is a big issue for me as I put text and screenshots which need to be sharp, the source files are!
Again - it all applies to PIP only, the 'background' clips are perfect

I emailed support but they ignored me (not a good sign to be honest...)
I create a project 1280x720, all looks great. Then I want to add an
image/video to it as PIP, I add it to the second track and then I cannot find
an option to restore the original resolution of it. By default PD
resizes it to full width, however the image is 637x488. In
the properties I can see 'scale' but do not understand how it works.
As a result, I struggle to find the optimal size. I played with the scale and managed to match it in a way but
when I produce my video, the PIP is blurred, not even close to the original video/image
I tried mp4, avi, mpeg... makes no difference. The background clip is perfect, but any PIP images/videos are poor quuality.
- How do I insert an image/video as PIP and keep the orginal dimensions for it?
- How do I improve the quality of PIP (the source files are perfect and sharp)
