What preview quality should I expect?

PD9, 64bit, with 12GB RAM.

The previews of my HD footage (720p from Panasonic) look very "blocky" and definitely not HD. I thought the 64bit version has removed that limitation? It's still producing the preview files.

What preview qual should I expect? Will it change if I use a tool say white balance change?

thanks

I use mine on normal setting, but generally the preview is going to be lower quality than the produced video. I also don't use a 64-bit version, so maybe that is different. __________________________________

The quality of your preview depends on the power of your computer and graphics card. Even though I have a powerful computer with sli Geforce 460GTX cards I still don't use "FULL HD preview" I use "HD preview" which works fine.

Not only will it show your changes in WB you also have the option of showing the altered settings on one side of your video and the raw video on the other on the preview window.

If you want to post a dxdiag.txt from your computer we could advise you further. Just saying 64bit, with 12GB RAM doesn't give us enough information to help you further. My youtube channel====> http://www.youtube.com/user/relate2?feature=mhsn

I think I figured it out, although I wish I knew what went wrong. I deleted all the temp files, switched the setting from full HD to HD, and the blocking is gone. The transitions don't work well, so for those I have to go one more down, but that's OK
