Chapter 4: Producing Your Movie
87
Note: Before producing your movie, make sure that all of your video clips
have the same interlacing format. This is an extremely important step to take
before production, as it can drastically affect final video quality! If you
produce your movie and find the video quality unsatisfactory, verify that the
interlacing format of all of your video clips is the same. If your clips have
different interlacing formats, set them all to the same format, then produce
your movie again. For more information, see "Set a Video Clip’s Interlacing
Format" on page 57.
