Changing Display Quality

Use the Display Quality list to control the amount of detail and image quality displayed in the viewports. The higher the image quality setting, the more time required to update the viewports.

For 3D composites, there are two display options in the Settings controls for anti-aliasing and supersampling.

Note: Best mode considers the Anti-aliasing and Supersampling options; the other three modes ignore them.

These options are set for rendering, by default. However, you can choose to override the display settings at any time. For more information, see Rendering.

To change the display quality:

1. Select an option from the Display Quality list.



The following options are available.



Select:	To:
Preview	View clips at full resolution.
Best	View clips at full resolution. This is the only mode that considers the Anti-aliasing and Supersampling options for a 3D composite.
Medium	View clips at half resolution, or the resolution of any footage with a defined proxy. For information on proxies, see Creating Proxy Footage.
Draft	View clips at a quarter resolution, or half the resolution of any footage with a defined proxy. For information on proxies, see Creating Proxy Footage.





2. To redraw objects in the viewports as you modify them, enable Feedback. Disable this setting to redraw after a setting has been changed.
3. If you select Best, you can customize the Quality options for 3D composites. To set these options, click the Settings button in the Composite Controls panel.
4. Enable the required Quality options.



The following options are available.



Enable:	To:
Anti-Aliasing	Smooth the edges of diagonal lines, reducing the jaggies. You can use this with the Best option only.
Supersampling	Enable anti-aliasing for shadows and reflections. You can use this with the Best option only.





Note: Quality options are not available for other operators. These operators are always output with anti-aliasing enabled.
