Choosing Super-White
If you aren’t concerned about broadcast-legal limits and you want your imported RGB
graphics to match Y´C
B
C
R
white levels that are above 100 percent, you should choose
the Super-White option from the “Process Maximum White as” pop-up menu. In this
case, RGB white values of 255 are mapped to Y´C
B
C
R
values of 254 (109 percent). Keep
in mind that any white levels in your RGB graphics will not be broadcast-legal.
Motion Filtering Quality Pop-Up Menu
Options in this pop-up menu control the render quality of scaling, rotation, and other
effects in the Motion tab:
 Normal: This option uses standard scaling and transformation algorithms and yields
medium-quality results compared to the other options.
 Best: This option performs very high-quality motion transformations on your clips.
Use this option for final rendering before output or export.
 Fastest: This option performs fast, low-quality motion transformations on your clips.
This option improves rendering time, so it is useful when you are sketching out
motion effects.
Note: In Final Cut Pro HD (version 4.5) and earlier, Fastest was the only option available.
How Rotation Affects Motion Filtering Quality
When you adjust a clip’s Rotation parameter, the clip is automatically rendered using the
Fastest setting, regardless of the option chosen from the Motion Filtering Quality pop-up
menu of the Video Processing tab of the current sequence settings. For example:
 If you adjust a clip’s Scale, Center, or Anchor Point parameter: The clip is rendered
using the motion filtering quality option chosen in the Video Processing tab of
the current sequence settings.
 If you adjust only a clip’s Rotation parameter: The clip is rendered using the Fastest
motion filtering quality setting.
 If you adjust a clip’s Rotation parameter as well as additional motion parameters: The
clip is rendered using the Fastest motion filtering quality setting because the
Rotation parameter has been adjusted.
