Answers.Text: Note that the timeline render isn't necessarily the final result. How you set the export settings determines the quality of the final output.

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2016-02-01)
  
  I'm testing some high quality footage from Arri (<https://www.arri.com/EN/camera/alexa/learn/alexa_sample_footage/>) and I've noticed that PP when rendering the timeline lowers the quality considerably.
  
  If you reference the below image, I have only added a title only and the timeline render quality in PP is awful.
  
  Both my playback and pause resolution is full.
  
  If I remove the title from the timeline the full quality is restored. This issue will occur with any PP effect. If I don't render the timeline, the program sequence runs at full quality.
  
  The final render out is fine, but I want to work with the footage in high quality as my machine is more than capable. What am I missing here?
