Footage blurry when playing not when paused

Hello,

when my fottage is paused in my timelines the quality of the video is very crisp but as soon as i press play it loses its crispness, it is as if the resolution loses its high quality.  I have a new computer and also I have created proxies for all of my higher resolution clips. also when i export it  at maximum render quality it still stays low resolution. How do I make it stay crisp in its playback?

I'm having the opposite problem. When the video is paused the image quality goes down. Anyone know how to solve this? It's no great for coloring with a blurry image.

Is this set to 'full' or set to 1/2 , 1/4 1/8?

Hi ALTaalman97,

in the Program monitor window check you are playing with Full resolution in the combo menu instead of 1/2, or other option. Also, if you are working with proxies the resolution will still be low. Before you export you need to reconnect to the high resolution footage.

So I'm having the same problem they are and I'm viewing in Full but can't change it to 1/2 or anything else. Any solutions?
