Sharpness
This fader allows you to regulate the level of image sharpness.
The "fine tuning" option allows you to determine the level of focus for
particular surfaces or borders.
Anti-flickering filter intensity: The anti-flickering filter affects only still images.
It is especially intended for zooms in images with many edges and
transitions with high contrast (e.g. fences, bars, brick walls). High-frequency
images such as these begin to flicker when they are reduced in size. This
filter smoothes these edges somewhat.You should set the intensity of the
anti-flickering filter according to your preferences, because smoothing is
always a compromise between good contrast and fluid image sequence
during playback.
TV picture
This option provides optimal adjustment of the image size for a real
television screen (anti-cropping). Without this adjustment, the screen could
cut off edges of the image in some cases.
Fade in TV display area in the preview monitor: This option displays the
image borders of the television as lines in the preview monitor. The four
image borders of the TV area may be specified via the four input fields. Of
course, the real size of the TV image must be familiar for this. The following
process is available to determine this:
The four input fields also enable the borders of the four sides to be adjusted
freely in percent. In this case, the best approach is to determine a balance
between reduction, bar formation, and the image section:
If all four edges feature the same value, then the image will be reduced
proportionately. In this case no distortions will occur, but there will be bars
along the edges.
If different values are entered for the 4 fields, the image size is reduced
disproportionately. This will distort the image.
Apply margin to: With this option, the entered values for the four borders are
applied as an image reduction. The result may be checked immediately in
the preview monitor.
Determining the visible TV frame size
To determine the picture properties of your television as well as optimal
image size editor settings, you should perform a test run:
Load the project "Visible TV image" from the folder "My Media -> Projects -
> Visible TV image" in the Media Pool.
