Start out with the best quality video footage. It will look, compress and play<br />
better. A low quality video, eg, video shot in poor light or using a camera<br />
that’s not steady, contains more “noise” than a professional video. Noise and<br />
unnecessarily moving backgrounds place a heavy burden on the codec,<br />
resulting in reduced playback performance. In some cases, an application such<br />
as Media Cleaner Pro can be used to filter and enhance the quality of the<br />
source footage prior to compression.<br />
Improving Perceived<br />
Playback Quality<br />
Keep in mind that <strong>WATCHOUT</strong> allows you to composite still images with<br />
moving images. Thus, it is often possible to achieve a higher perceived resolution<br />
and quality by combining large background images with video inserts<br />
than by using a single, large video image. See also “Optimizing Playback of<br />
Large Videos” on page 94 for more suggestions on how to improve playback<br />
performance.<br />
