First time here, tried to look for answer in old discussions, but no luck. So, ... please bear with me, thank you. My project's frame size is 1920x1080, Full HD 1080i 30. I have a footage in 3840x2160 format, I wanted the result to be in 1280x720 format. In order to make the composition look tighter, I chose to use the Crop effect to crop out the unneeded 66.7% of the frame. See picture below. (This shows when Zoom option is not checked. But in reality, the Zoom option is checked.) So, when exporting, I exported the project using "Device-->Computer-->HD 720", and set the quality to be highest. But the resulting picture quality is very blurry, as if it's been unsharpened a lot! See the picture below, the left side is from Adobe Premiere Elements 14, the right side is from another software. I tried to change the project setting to 4K format, but I can't find such a profile in New Project. The largest frame I can find is 1080i 30. So, my question is: How to crop frames from 2160p down to 720p without losing quality? Thank you all in advance!
