i HAVE A MAGIX FDIT PRO PLUS and when i try and add movement to my photos in my movie i:e zoom in or pan up etc , the photo goes completely out of focus... any ideas how i can rectify this ?
Hi Ronald and welcome to the user to user forums.
When you play back a rendered export, then if you stop it at any point, is the frame you stop at sharp or blurred?
Are you mixing video footage with still images?
What is the screen refresh rate of your monitor?

The frame I stop it at is blurred and yes I am mixing still images with videos ,.something I have done many times before with this programme and this laptop but never had this issue before ..
Hi.
Try right clicking on any of your still images and make sure the resolution of the image exceeds the required resolution of the export render by enough to zoom into without losing resolution or the image will become soft as you zoom in due to the lack of detail.
Remember HD 16:9 is 1920 x 1020 pixels and @4k 16:9 is 3840 x 2160 so the still images need to be higher resolutions than that to maintain a degree of 'perceived' sharpness.
Also make sure you are not exporting having turned on interlacing .
Make sure your settings are correct for exporting.
it is better not export the video at a different frame rate to the video files in use. Also it's best not interpolate the video clips to produce extra frames, even for slower fps captured video clips. Above in the monitor is a still image zoomed to X4 original size. At this point it is starting to go soft but manageable.
