Hello all,
I am new to the world of video editing. I have a Sony Mini DV camcorder
that I have been using for a while now. When I watch videos directly from
the Mini DV on my TV the video is great. No jaggies or anything. I
captured some video using the DV-AVI (NTSC) settings in WMM. I added a
Title, some scene transitions, and credits. I saved it to my hard drive as
DV-AVI. Now when I watch it in Windows Media Player the video looks
horrible. There are jagged lines all over. Especially when a lighter color
meets with a darker. What am I doing wrong here ? Since these are all
digital files I am working with I don't see how I could lose quality. I
have VHS tapes that look better than what I have as the outcome of capturing
and editing this current video. Am I doing something wrong or is this just
the current state of amateur video editing ? Would I get better quality
results using something like Adobe Premier instead ? I wanted to put this
on a DVD, but the current quality of the video wouldn't be worth it.
Any ideas,
Duke
