• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Hello,

Whenever I try to add an image into my Final Cut Express project, the image quality is severely reduced.

Attached is a picture of what happens.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Yes, the image has been rendered.

I'm not sure about the image settings. What should they be? Would a different format be better? The images are currently .jpg.

well im an audio student, an amateur when it comes to video, but i thought i would at least try and help you work it out.

So im not exactly sure what the "right" settings would be, but im guessing that maybe you are set on a DV setting rather than a HDV setting which would degrade the video slightly.

have a look in A/V settings, at the sequence preset, and see what you are working on. :)
