Render options for Pan and Zoom
Now that I have introduced you to the Avid Pan and Zoom there are a few parameters you need to take into consideration. Rendering options for Pan and Zoom are very important to the quality of output of your production. You might not always want the sharpest possible result. Images with many sharp edges might look better with a softer rendering. So here is the break down of your options and what they do. Remember to always try a few different ones until you get the results you are looking for.
- Real Time: renders most quickly but results in a draft-quality image.
- Triangle: results in fairly soft images.
- Quadratic: has slightly sharper images than Triangle filtering.
- Cubic: results in sharper images than Quadratic filtering although they are still fairly soft.
- B-Spline Catmull: When you use this option and shrink an image (zoom out) by a large amount, the result is similar to that produced by Cubic filtering. B-Spline Catmull produces a sharper image than Cubic filtering when you:
- Gaussian: results in an image that is relatively soft but sharper than B-Spline Catmull.
- Avid Hi Qual: creates sharp images when you shrink the original (zoom out).
- Avid Ultra Qual: creates extremely sharp images when you shrink the original (zoom out).
