Sorry, the forum screwed up the list. It should say:
1. Disable all video enhancement and colour adjustments.
2. Take a few seconds of a video file, preferably MP4: 1920x1080. (If possible find a static scene for easy comparison)
3. Take a snapshot of a frame, place it next to the video on the timeline and stretch it to be a few seconds long.
4. Produce the video

Hi Tony,
Thank you for your quick reply. I thought, I was the only one up at 6am on a Sunday.
Sorry, I don't know what you mean by "colour render test". Please explain (as they say in QLD)
I will provide the pictures shortly. In the mean time, it's very easy to recreate the problem.

You will see a significant difference in quality between the frames rendered from a picture and the video.
To make the difference even more pronounced, enable video enhancement in step 1 above and repeat steps 2 to 3.
Regards,
Igor

PD14 does not render pictures properly.
While it takes a perfect snapshot of a video frame (freeze frame), it seems to apply some sort of a filter while rendering, that changes the colour temperature of a picture and makes the pictures fuzzy.
This makes freeze frames useless as the picture quality is very different from the video quality. Furthermore as soon as you enable "Color Adjustment" feature on a video clip, without making any colour adjustments, PD14 applies the same filter to the video. Now your freeze frames match the video but the quality of both is crap.
This is especially obvious when you enable "Video enhancement" feature that significantly improves the video quality.
My video is 1920x1080/25fps and I have tried to render it with every possible file format that supports this resolution. The result is the same. This or similar problem has been reported as far back as 2011 but I could not find a solution in this forum.
Am I doing something wrong? Please help
