Generation Quality Loss ?

If I make an AV backup of a project and then use this backup to continue building the project and then do the same again etc, will I will be getting progressive generation quality losses?

No. It is a lossless transfer each time or layer....

Thanks Joel

That another query answered :D

I'm trying to work out why a recent project suddenly developed serious 'jaggies' and it's one where I had gone two generations of AV saves.

My current project with same equipment throughout but single generation is perfect.

Cheers
John

If it is SD footage being viewed on an HD monitor, even the original SD footage would look awful. The HD monitor has to blow-up SD nearly 4 times to fill the screen.
