Still image looks better unrendered in Prores 422
I have a still image that is static in my prores 422 (720) timeline and it looks completely crisp when unrendered in the timeline. Once I render that section the image gets very aliased around the edges. I tried converting the compression type of the sequence to 8bit and Animation and no luck in getting the image to look any better, even when exported.
The sequence settings are:
1280x720
Square Pixel Aspect Ratio
Compressor: Apple ProRes 422
The tiff file I am using was created in Photoshop with the 720 preset:
1280x720
72dpi
RGB 8bit
Square pixel aspect ratio
Am I losing it? The image scale is at 100%, no movement, just looks crappy. Is it me? It seems like such an elementary issue to be having...
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
