"OK, first off, what is the file size of the JPEG and the pixel-count? Are we dealing with a highly compressed JPEG?" No, it's not really compressed at all. Resolution is 5760x3840 at 300dpi. Image is RGB, 24 bits per pixel. Compression in Rle. File is PSD made in photoshop. File size is 12.64 MB "I don't understand why this should be happening? Zoom-in and Zoom-out SHOULD give the same? Odd . . . Tell us and explain your "zooming-method" Pan/Crop or Track Motion?" I have tried using both pan/crop tools and track motion. When zoomed out text is fuzzy. If you zoom in close it gets more clear. Confused. Also when rendering lines (from a form letter) and adding a pan, on the motion section the lines are jittery when rendered. I hope the above info is clear enough.
