• Draft quality mode: The Composite window switches to Draft mode when you use the
interactors. You will find that the manipulations of 3D Plane tracks, Spline Objects,
Spline Primitives, and 3D Extrusion tracks are dramatically speeded. When you use the
on-screen interactors, the Composite window will switch to Draft quality mode.
• High quality mode: The interactors appear semitransparent to indicate that you are
working in software OpenGL mode. When you release the mouse, the Composite
window operates in High quality mode.
The resolution mode determines the amount and degree of detail in an image. It will affect
size of the media and the processing times. The higher the resolution, the larger the media
and the longer the processing time. There are three modes:
• Full: The image is displayed at full resolution. It is a good idea to use this setting when
rendering your final effect.
• Half: The image is displayed with only half the pixels of the original image. It is
rendered at half resolution.
• Quarter: The image is displayed with only one fourth the pixels of the original image.
It is rendered at quarter resolution.
