Amada Daro March 22, 2020 Share March 22, 2020 I have imported a PNG file in DaVinci Resolve and the edges are jagged. The original file is fine and it looks perfect in After Effects. Is there a setting I have missed? Link to comment Share on other sites
Keidrych wasley March 22, 2020 Share March 22, 2020 Yes. On media page right click the graphics file, go to 'clip attributes' and under alpha choose 'premultiplied'. Link to comment Share on other sites
Amada Daro March 22, 2020 Author Share March 22, 2020 Thanks but it's already set to Premultiplied. A bit strange behaviour though, as switching between straight and premultiplied inverts some of the elements which is not what happens when doing the same thing in After Effects.

Jamie Dickinson March 22, 2020 Share March 22, 2020 Try adding it within the Fusion page and merge there. That should work. Previous versions of Resolve had problems composting files with an alpha in the Edit page. Sometimes just rendering a cache would fix it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites
Jamie Dickinson March 22, 2020 Share March 22, 2020 I just tested this on the Edit Page and it works fine for me (R16.2, MacBookPro Mojave). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites
Amada Daro March 22, 2020 Author Share March 22, 2020 Seems like the issue is because the graphic is scaled down and re positioned. I have changed scaling from sharper to smoother but it doesn't help much. It looks find when still but looks really bad when hitting play. Link to comment Share on other sites

Abby Bader March 22, 2020 Share March 22, 2020 (edited) You need to go into /davinciresolve/preferences/playbacksettings and uncheck "optimized sizing". It's a bug that has been there for a long time and it's doing the exact opposite of optimizing sizing. Edited March 22, 2020 by Abby Bader 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites
Abby Bader March 22, 2020 Share March 22, 2020 And don't forget to uncheck "force sizing to highest quality" when rendering if you have it enabled. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites

JJ Dogbite August 19, 2020 Share August 19, 2020 Abby! Thanks alot. I have been trying to get my logos to look normal for ages now, and have struggled so hard in Fusion to get it right. You got the right solution here - awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites
Thomas Singh September 25, 2020 Share September 25, 2020 Any other suggestions that I might try? I'm facing the same annoying problem. Link to comment Share on other sites

Thomas Singh September 28, 2020 Share September 28, 2020 Yeah, I could save it out a different extension but it would be faster and better if Resolve could read PNGs natively without any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites
Richard Martos November 22, 2020 Share November 22, 2020 Hi, I had the same problem for a while. I tried many things until I finally realised that when I clear out all the nodes in the timeline level all my png graphics displayed properly again. Hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites
Pavel February 17, 2021 Share February 17, 2021 Try change settings of Resize Filter. Select Clip - Edit Tab - Inpector - Resize ind Scalling - Resize Filter. For me it worked on Bicubic mode Link to comment Share on other sites

Thomas Cruickshank March 30, 2023 Share March 30, 2023 (edited) It didn't help me. Both my Tiff and Png files look jagged, "swimming" and with these weird "band-lines" going over them on playback (both in fusion and in edit mode). Could it be because they are 8-bit RPG? Does that matter? Never had this issue before with any other edit platform. UPDATE (SOLVED!): I found it! For some reason, on the "Merge" node (of the fusion composition), the "filter method" was set to "nearest neighbor" when it should've been set to "linear".

Darren Huckey August 21, 2023 Share August 21, 2023 Davinci Resolve 18.5 has a feature that you can turn on called "Super Scale" at the object level (in the Inspector). That worked beautifully for me. Link to comment Share on other sites
Elvis Suarez July 19 Share July 19 I know this is old but try using the Open FX Transform within the edit page. You may need to use in combination with the regular resizing tools, but use the transform effect to really get things down to size. It also has an antialiasing slider for dialing in the edges. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites
