Premiere Elements 13 poor picture quality

Hi Folks
I recently bought Premier Elements 13 as a Christmas present for myself. I decided I wanted a stable program that would produce good quality video, and I was prepared to pay for it.
However, my first couple of videos have been disappointing.
I have Elements installed on my Windows (7)  PC.
I use MP4 video files from my camera which play well on my PC.
However once imported into PE13, the video files lose picture quality, and the final edited product looks awful. I have tried publishing as MPEG, AVI and MP4 with the same poor results.
I guess I must be doing something wrong as I thought PE13 was supposed to be good!
Any advice (in very basic language) would be gratefully received.
Thanks very much
Adrian

Great news that you were able to produce an excellent .mp4 file with your Premiere Elements 13.
The keys to success are getting a match between the project preset and the properties of the source video (whether you do that manually or the project does it automatically).
The project will take over this task unless you intervene. Sometimes the project does it right, sometimes not...for the not, that is when you set the project preset manually.
You have to evaluate the description in the Publish+Share/ area in making your choices there. Some of the choices require customization of the preset under the Advanced Button/Video Tab/Audio Tab/Multiplexer Tab. That is because the default settings of a preset may be for a lower resolution than your source video. And, you can generate .mp4 under Publish+Share/Computer/Mobile Phones and Players as well as under Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD.
The above is an assortment of miscellaneous information. If you decide to want to explore settings other than for .mp4, then we can discuss them in details when your
schedule permits.
Best wishes

  • Using Premiere Pro CS3 When exporting as flash file poor picture quality

    I'm using Premiere Pro CS3. I shoot green screen in HDV and work in 1440 x 1080. I have been capturing files in Premiere and sending them to Serious Magic Ulta 2. I use this program for keying and adding virtual backgrounds. I save these files as avi. with a resolution of 1440 X 1080. I then bring them back into Premiere Pro for final edit. When I export these video's encoded as mpeg2 theyplay very clear. I am now trying to export as flv. with alpha channel background and the resolution is poor. I working on the transparent background with walk on spokespersons that overlay the HTML page. When In try to play them on my computer the adobe media player is what comes up. I have downloaded flash player but it doesn't select it to play the video. I'm running windows Vista Business platform. What am I doing wrong.

    Thanks for the reply.
    The capture and editing have already been done in 1440 X 1080. Should I use this resolution rather than trying to bump it up to 1920 X 1080.
    Thanks

    Subject: Using Premiere Pro CS3 When exporting as flash file poor picture quality
    Computer playback generally prefers square pixels.  Make sure to set your output resolution to 1920 x 1080 using a Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR) of 1.0 or Square.
    See if that helps.

  • My new Ipad camera takes poor picture quality compare to my iphone 4g. Is it should be so?

    My new Ipad camera takes poor picture quality compare to my iphone 4g. Is it should be so?

    Hi pjl,
    Yes I forgot to mention, the iPad does lose the tether when it sleeps, so I turned sleep off permanently which is probably not great for battery life either!
    I just don't understand why another iPhone4 can connect to the personal hotspot with absolutely no intervention once it knows the password. That's how it should be on the iPad. They are both running the latest iOS5 so why any difference?

  • Premiere elements loss of quality complete beginner sorry!

    Right, so I edited my video initially in windows movie maker.....quality on export was good with a sharp picture etc. I then imported this video into elements (converting it first into an mpeg) as my elements was having problems with wmv file import showing only half the video. In the view window when editing the video is reduced quality but I thought this would correct itself with rendering.... It didn't. I e tried all sorts of different settings, maximized the quality of export, selected hd settings for export and still the quality when exported is really rubbish and no longer sharp and clear.....any ideas anyone? Thanks! X

    John T. Smith has suggested that you consider the purchase of Premiere Elements 11.
    I would also offer some considerations on that subject....
    1. There has been a major change in the inferface of Premiere Elements 11 as compared to earlier versions of the program. So before any purchase, consider (while it is still available) the free 30 day tryout of Premiere Elements 11 from Adobe to determine if it is compatible with your video editing/exporting needs and computer environment.
    a. When the next version of Premiere Elements is released, the prior version is no longer available as a tryout.
    2. No doubt, if you are going to get a best purchase price for version 11, it is about now since, if history repeats itself, there should be a new version released sometime come September/October 2013. I have no insider information on that, just history of prior new versions that have been popping up on a yearly basis around September of a given year.
    But definitely check you computer purchase agreement to see if your software installation disc rights are defined in the pre-installed program situations.
    Thanks.

  • Final Cut Pro Vs. Adobe Premiere Elements 9 output quality.

    Hey Group.
    I am trying to edit some Sony 1920X1080 30i AVCHD footage and have had some quality problems while exporting FCP footage with QT exports (all footage logged and transferred into FCE with the proper setting that match the footage, etc as chronicled in other entries I have already discussed in other entries within this forum). My final footage was always coming out jittery and motion was never smooth and the "HD video" it produced looked amateurish and very computer generated looking. As a last ditch experiment, I decided to give a trial to Adobe Premiere Elements 9, which edits native AVCHD footage. When I exported a trial test, I was amazed to see this program exported the footage with a look that was exactly the same as the source HD footage from the camera, when played back on my WD HDTV Plus. My question is: what am I doing wrong in FCP? Is it because Premiere edits the footage natively rather than the conversion codecs FCP uses? Just seeing if anyone has any clues to this strange phenomenon. I certainly know for sure I like the workflow in FCP way better than in Adobe....Any ideas would be great. Thanks
    Marshall

    Okay, so here's my settings for my project...
    To begin with, my output is to a WD HDTV Plus which needs a H.264 1920X1080i30 file.
    The source footage is SONY AVCHD 1080i60.
    My Import Prefs:
    AVCHD: Apple ProRes422
    AC-3 Audio: Plain Stereo
    RT:
    Both Dynamic Playbacks
    Unlimited RT
    Exported using QuickTime Conversion:
    Compression: H.264
    Frames:
    Current
    Key Frames:
    Every 24
    Compressor Quality: Best
    Data Rate: Automatic
    When it gets played back, still elements look "HD" but moving objects are jittered....HELP!
    thanks

  • Poor picture quality in crystal reports

    Post Author: marina
    CA Forum: .NET
    Hello,
    I need insert high-quality photos of some products to a crystal report dynamically and then export this report to a PDF file to be printed by the customer as some proposal of products.
    Some time ago I developed a web-application using MS Visual Studio .NET 2003 and Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2003 to generate PDF reports. I added images to reports generating BLOB objects at runtime. But the customer complains on poor quality of images in exported reports. The images in the exported reports have a problem of lost smooth color gradation. Now Iu2019m investigating if Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2005 would help me.
    So, now Iu2019m using MS Visual Studio .NET 2005 and Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2005 for a test and nevertheless I have the same problem with poor image quality in a total report and an exported PDF file. If I insert a photo file (e.g., TIF or PNG, RBG/8) to a report template, I see an original good-quality picture (RBG/8) on the template screen. I do not use any scaling in the test. If I just switch to the Preview tab to preview the report, I see a bad-quality picture instead. It has the same width and height but has lost smooth color gradation and looks like a 256-color picture. The option "Retain Original Image Color Depth" does not help. I have the same problem with image quality in an exported PDF or MS Word file.
    Is it possible to manage total image quality in crystal reports and how?
    Your prompt reply will be very much appreciated.

    Hello,
    Iu2019ve found how to solve this problem in Crystal Reports for MS VS.NET 2005. The option u201CRetain Original Image Color Depthu201D in the Report Options window helps u2013 the preview screen and the exported PDF file contain images of suitable good quality.
    Iu2019ve found information on the u201CRetain Original Image Color Depthu201D option here: http://support.businessobjects.com/library/kbase/articles/c2016162.asp?ref=devzone_rss_net.
    Unfortunately, I donu2019t have the full version of Crystal Reports 9 or 10 to check if this helps to solve image quality problem in the application on MS VS.NET 2003.
    So, I try to edit source report templates in Crystal Reports for MS VS.NET 2005. I set the u201CRetain Original Image Color Depthu201D option in the Report Options window for them. Then I use these updated templates in my old application on MS VS.NET 2003 u2013 I donu2019t edit the templates there, I just load these updated templates at runtime. Dynamic images are added as BLOB objects to a data set at runtime to bind the reports. But I still have the same problem of lost color gradation in generated reports and exported PDF files. I also insert static images for a test to the report templates in MS VS.NET 2005 and then generate reports again by the application on MS VS.NET 2003. I have the same problem of lost color gradation for the static images too.
    So, is it possible to use u201Coriginal image color depthu201D in an application written on MS VS.NET 2003? Or should I remake the project under MS VS.NET 2005 to retain original image color depth?
    Your prompt reply will be very much appreciated.

  • Adobe premiere elements 4 picture in picture

    I shot 3 videos with a flip ultra hd and i want 2 of the videos to open picture in picture style over the 1st video. i achieved this with no problem but when i play it back the video and audio is very jerky. Any thoughts as to what i should do?

    In most case, though, Flip video simply won't work in Premiere Elements and will need to be converted to a more standard format, as detailed in the FAQs to the right of this forum.

  • Have dock, Have AV Cabling - Poor picture quality

    Either I have it hooked up wrong, or the picture quality is just plain bad.
    My guess is that it is just gonna be bad when transfering the signals from a tiny little screen to a large 42" TV.
    Anybody got any tips????
    Thanks,
    Froggy

    What format is the file you are playing on the iPod - specifically, what is the resolution.
    When you say it is poor quality on the big set, what do you mean? If you're playing a 320x240 file on a big set, it isn't going to look good.

  • Poor Picture Quality in iMovie Which USB Camcorder Will Work and Which Won'

    Dear Colleagues,
    I continue to read accounts by readers regarding iMovie 98 havinga poor image quality when sharing to iDVD. It has been suggested that users with non-High Definition camcorders, standard DV8 camcorders such as my Sony DCR-TRV315, are stretching the Movie to far when using the Large and Medium setting for sharing ing to iDVD and other media.
    If this is the case, what pixel size should I use when sharing to iDVD. I had understood that 720X480 was the standard format for non-High Definition Digital 8 Camcorders. So what correct pixel ratio should I use for DVD playback on a wide-screen HDTV with non-HD recordings.
    I am planning to purchase a Sony USB camcorder and I continue to hear reports that they and other brands of USB camcorders won't work with iMovie 08. Is this simply a new user not fully understanding how his new camcorder works?
    If this is not the case, how can one determine which USB camcorders are compatible with iMovie 08?
    Please get back to me soon.
    Best regards,
    Robert O. Cobb

    A great deal has been said about im08 degrading interlaced video, to qualify the matter im08 resorts to progressive video depending on the capabilities of your mac, I for example can achieve full quality 1080i exports.
    Additionally the matter has to be put into perspective. Of course a source video looks clearer on a mac if it is displayed in it's original interlaced format on a frame by frame basis, but this isn't how one would watch video. interlaced video looks dreadful on a computer monitor and needs to be de-interlaced to be watched, additionally you would never watch a video frame by frame and so comparing video in this way is somewhat pointless. There is a quality difference on some macs but if the video is compared in a realistic way the difference is quite small and often unnoticeable.
    720 x 480 as you likely realise uses non square pixels which will be converted to square pixels for your AVC exports in im08, to maintain the aspect ratio of the pixels you should export to DV.
    There are a list of supported cameras here, but of course there are many that are not in this list that do work. If you select a camera, post to see if anyone has had any compatibility issues, but as you seem to be aware a number of apparent issues are as a result of user errors rather than incompatibility.

  • DVI HDMI Poor picture quality, grainy / combing

    Hi Guys,
    Have just purchased a 26" Samsung LCD and have it connected to my G5 via a DVI-HDMI cable. However, full-screen playback on the monitor from FCP looks really poor- very grainy, with lots of combing (Note: the LCD autodetected a 50hz/1920x1080 interlace setting).
    I know FCP has this setup as a CINEMA DISPLAY PREVIEW so its not really full-quality, but even still- it looks worse than when i was using a tv attached via S-Video!
    Would anyone be kind enough to share what i might try to address the problem? i have already tried the obvious altering resolutions etc- but to no avail...it has me confused!
    Many thanks,
    Adam

    I know FCP has this setup as a CINEMA DISPLAY PREVIEW so its not really full-quality
    Yup...that's it. It isn't full quality, it is a lower resolution to ensure that no skipping of footage occurs (dropped frames).
    even still- it looks worse than when i was using a tv attached via S-Video!
    That was via firewire to a DV device, correct? Because that IS a proper FULL RES signal, so yes, it will look better. DVI out means that it is sending a COMPUTER signal, not a VIDEO signal...so the quality is worse.
    Would anyone be kind enough to share what i might try to address the problem?
    Yup...get a capture card. With a G5 your options are limited. NO Decklink Intensity with HDMI out...no Matrox MXO with HDMI out. The MXO will do DVI to a computer monitor and clean up the signal, but you can't convert that DVI to HDMI I don't think...messes up the signal. BUT, you could use the MXO and go COMPONENT to that monitor. That would be a good signal. Otherwise you are looking at Decklink HD cards or Kona LH...the Decklink might be comparable in price to the MXO.

    I made a slide of multiple pics and objects, I am trying to export it to an 8x10 photo, the shop I am using only allows jpeg.  The quality is so poor when I print it, is there a way to get better quality as I export it?  I used keynote because I could set up a custom slide size (8x10) and then added the pics and other graphics in hope I could export as a jpeg and get a good quality photo?  The photo images and slides are good quality it is the exporting where I am loosing clarity.

    Can anybody help me with this one? When I put in a picture in the size of 1000 x 640 pixels in iweb everything looks fine. But when I then publish it to mobileme and check my site online, it looks horrible. I tried different formats and everything, but nothing works....so far;)

    I downloaded the image and it's 1010 x 740. It's getting enlarged in the height and a bit in the width after being added to the page. Select it, go to the Inspector/Metrics pane and click on the Original Size button. That will keep it at the size you created and not let iWeb do any resizing on it. That might help.

  • IDVD bitrate compression and poor picture quality

    Folks,
    I have been reading some of the postings and agree that blockiness is a problem with bigger movie files >70 min. So, if I do not like IDVD, what other DVD editing programs are out there than can incorporate imovie HD files?
    Regards,
    "picky about the picture"

    jzdcbland,
    So, if I do not like IDVD, what other DVD editing programs are out there than can incorporate imovie HD files?
    "picky about the picture"
    iDVD is a great program for what it is - basically producing 'home movie' DVDs.
    If you are really "picky about the picture" , you can buy Apple's DVD Studio Pro - now part of Apple's Final Cut Studio for US $1299 - and work with the many compression options featured in Apple's Compressor application. Some people prefer the MPG-2 encoding done by BitVice ( BitVice at http://www.innobits.se/ for US $297 (US $149 for the Lite version)) to Apple's Compressor.
    So the chances are good that for an expenditure of about US $1600 you can improve your results. I suppose if you can tolerate much simplier menus, you could buy Roxio's Toast Titanium 7 (about US $80) and use BitVice as the encoding program instead of the encoder in Toast.
    It's easy to be 'picky' ... all it takes is money.
    PS - I'm hoping that Apple will bring out a lite version of DVD SP for people who want more options - who knows what will happen if enough people request such an application.
