How do you increase quality?

gmoses3 · Post by **gmoses3** » Sat Feb 24, 2007 4:49 pm

I have 3d Production Studio. I've created a project with the following settings:
Size 360x240
Output Quality Good
Frame Rate 29.97
I would like to increase quality to:
Size 720x480
Output Quality Optimal
When I render at original settings then change to new settings and rerender the output file is exactly the same.
Thanks
Gary

Did you increase the curve quality too? That may help.

What's the curve quality?

Great. I'll give it a try.

Thanks for the try but it did not increase the file size or change the final look of the project.

You did not mention the output file format and the output file quality, please specify.

Actually I did in my original post. It was set to "good".

I don't know how complex your project is, but you might try re-doing it with the frame size you intended to output to (720 x 480). Also are you wanting to create an overlay AVI (32 bit,with transparency), 24bit AVI, SWF, Quick Time (MOV), RealTime (RM), or an animation file like GIF?

Have you tried this?

File->Create Video File->Options->General->Frame Size and change the file output dimension.

Hope this helps.

Vidoman, it's a straight AVI.
htchien, I'll give that a try. It's a pretty complicated end graphic with multiple text and motions, so if I can avoid recreating it that would be nice.
Thanks for you help I get back to you with the results.

htchien,
Incredible advice. It worked perfectly. What's nice is I can make my projects in a smaller format to reduce render times and then output it a high resolution. This continues to be such a powerful program, but it's a little frustrating how so much potential is hidden in nooks and crannies.
