Crappy video quality after rendering

I have a video file that i exported out of Autodesk revit which has a resolution of 2,400 x 1350. My Premire Pro 2 file is 720 x 480 because I want to be able to use encore to compile the video on to a dvd. When I import the file into premire I have to scale it to view to get everything to fit, but when i export the video from premire and play it on the computer the quality is terrible. What is going on? Shouldn't it be really sharp since im shrinking a larger image? What am I doing wrong?
thanks

im installing all of the software but I cant get the "framserver" to work? Does this work with older versions of Premiere Pro? Im using PP 2.0.
Thanks for the link.

Poor video quality after rendering or publishing iMovie video - Problem?

After completing production of an iMovie video and then publishing it, the video quality is absolutely horrible. Is the normal or am I doing something wrong?

I hope the iMovie programming team at Apple is READING THESE POSTS, plus the other threads complaining of the lousy quality that results when interlaced video (480i or 1080i) is imported into iMovie '09 (even with all the recent updates). Various folks and e-book authors have posted workarounds, but these are cumbersome and defeat the entire purpose of iMovie -- which should be a simple and elegant video editing solution. Millions of users have interlaced video which they would like to edit (for you novices, you're affected if your video was shot on mini-DV tapes, or the HDV format -- plua many other non-tape formats also use interlaced video, so check your camera's specs).
Apple, PLEASE ADDRESS THIS GLARING FLAW in iMovie '09. It's absurd that iMovie 6/HD, which worked flawlessly with DV and HDV footage, is no longer supported. IMovie '09 has many great features, but what value are they if the end-product looks bad?

Very poor video quality after transcoding in Adobe Encore CS5.1

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I have very poor video quality after transcoding the video file (MPEG) in Adobe Encore CS5.1. Below you see my used settings in my filmproject.
The problem exists after transcoding in Adobe Encore CS5.1. I checked all steps and found out that there is no problem until transcoding. My exported file in MPEG has very good video and audio quality.
Facts:
1. Camcorder: Panasonic AG-AC160AEJ
Operating System : Windows 7, 64 Bit, Ultimate edition
Source files: MTS files
Recording settings (clip settings):
Type: MPEG Movie
Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Frame Rate: 25,00
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1,0
2. Sequence settings in Premiere Pro
Sequence was created from Clip directly with settings above.
3. Exporting settings in Adobe Premiere Pro:
Match sequence settings was activated. Now other changes were set.
4. Exported File:
Video
Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Data Transfer Rate: 25920 kBit / s
Frame rate: 25
Audio:
Bit rate: 384 kBit / s
Channels: 2 (stereo)
Frequence: 48 kHz
5. Transcoding settings in Adobe Encore:
I used different transcoding settings such as automatic DVD Transcoding, CBR and VBR.I also set “use maximum render quality”. But all results were always the same: very poor quality.
Why does the encore transcoding cause such bad video quality?
How can I solve this problem?
Please help me soon.
Best regards.

Hi Ann,
1) I did not only „Automatic (based on source)“ options in my tests, but also many other customized options.
The results are very poor. I have done a new test with the following settings. The result is also poor:
Download link: http://www.klavierlehrer-bayern.de/download/test_mpeg2dvd_1.m2v
Export Settings:
Format: MPEG2-DVD
Preset: Custom
Codec: MainConcept MPEG Video, Quality: 5
Frame Rate: 25 fps
Field Order: Upper
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Automatic (based on source)
Render at Maximum Rate: [active]
Bitrate Encoding: VBR, 2 pass
Minimum Bitrate (Mbps): 5
Target Bitrate (Mbps): 9
Maximum Bitrate (Mbps): 9
GOP Settings
M Frames: 4
N Frames: 12
Use Maximum Render Quality: [active]
Multiplexer: None
2) Why shouldn’t I use the “Match Sequence Settings” in exporting? Because of the big output file size?
I used it and the results are very good as I expected:
Download link: http://www.klavierlehrer-bayern.de/download/test_MatchSequenceSettings.mpeg
Export Settings
Match Sequence Settings [selected]
1920 x 1080, 25 fps, Upper, Quality 50
User Maximum Render Quality: [active]
3) I tried also Dynamic Link in PremierePro (to Encore).
The results are also poor.
4) I will test also LagarithLoslessCodec and frameserving +DGMPGDec. But the video is vertical long drawn-ot.
I think I did not use it correctly.
Regards

Video Quality After Transcoding Disappointing In CS4

To All,
I am new to Encore so my situation may be as a result of my ignorance. I have come to appreciate HD video so I purchased a Hauppauge HD PVR to capture programs in HD. I have captured multiple HD video clips in a .mp4 format. I bring those clips into Premier Pro CS4 and when viewing them individually, they look great - crisp, clear video that looks fantastic. Once I have put my video together (consisting of several clips that is about 1 hour long total), I then select Adobe Dynamic Link and send the project to Encore to burn onto a 25GB blu-ray disc. I have tried 2 or 3 different settings in Encore and the result is a video that is 1920 x 1080 full screen but the video quality is disappointing. It's as though a "soft filter" is used in the video effectively taking away the crisp, clean video I see in the original clips I imported into Premier Pro - the very thing I have come to love about HD (ex: beads of sweat on faces, seeing individual strands of hair on someones head, etc.). Am I being unrealistic to expect the same quality video after being transcoded in Encore that I see in the individual clips I originally inported into Premier Pro or I am I just doing something wrong? Thanks for the help in advance!

It sounds like you are familiar with Encore. Let me ask this general question. Can one expect to achieve the same video quality after transcoding in Encore as the video originally imported or is some loss inevitable?
Actually, this should answer both questions.
What happens first is that your capture device/card will compress the signal originally. You then Import this footage into PrPro for editing. It will not be edited in it native format, as it is compressed and is also GOP (Group of Pictures) format, i.e. there are not real Frames to edit. These must be created for Frame editing. Now, you're working pretty much in a good replication of your initially compressed files. Here comes the problem: you now wish to Export to a BD. You need to re-compress and Transcode this material in PrPro to a format that can be used on a BD player. A second compression and Transcode will need to take place.
As an example, lets use FAX machines and desktop printers. You create a document in Word and print it out with your 1200 dpi desktop printer. This is a pretty high quality document. It's like the HD TV signal. Next, you run your original document printout through your copy machine. This still looks pretty good, but not up to the original. This is what your capture card has now produced. Then, you take that copy and FAX it to a friend. It now starts to show degradation. This is like that second compression and Transcoding.
Not sure what a better workflow would be for HD TV capture.
Good luck,
Hunt

Premiere Degrading Quality (after rendering) of Animation Codec mov's and 4444 Codec mov's, which were made from SWF files, originally exported out of After Effects

I am making a cartoon, which was created in FLASH,
Then the SWF's were put into After Effects and exported out as MOV's. (I've tried both AppleProRes4444 and Animation codecs).
Then I put those Mov's into Premiere. Everything looks crisp until I render. Once rendering is done, the video quality degrades. Here's a screen shot of Premiere:
On the left is the source MOV (exported from AE), on the right is the timeline viewer (after rendering). The quality on the right is degraded. Help?
If I use MP4 versions, exported out of Flash, through Media encoder, quality is not degraded.
(Read on for additional info)
It was easy and quick to create my MOV's out of AE, which is why I did it this way. I'm exporting to MOV's so I can edit quicker in Premiere. I find editing to sound in AE really difficult, and I don't edit in Flash (employees provide SWF files to me).
Here is sequence settings in Premiere (these setting were created by dragging an MOV into the sequence and choosing "change settings" to match clip settings.
Help? Please?

Hey, need help concerning movie quality after rendering;

I'm working with PE7 and Windows XP. I try to insert to my movie vob file (decrypted from my DVD) wchich quality is really perfect what I can see it on any player. As soon as I import this file to PE7 the quality, even after rendering, is terrible low . I mean it is not "smooth" and you can see many single pixels on the monitor. Interesting is: some parts of file is good as oryginal some bad with pixels. Where is a problem: settings, hardware or may be something different ??

PiSzcze
Have you saved the VOBs ripped from your DVD-VIDEO and saved them to your computer hard drive and then are bringing them into Premiere Elements Get Media/Files and Folders? Or, are you following the recommended procedure of placing the DVD-VIDEO DVD disc in the DVD burner drive tray and using Premiere Elements Get Media/"DVD (Camcorder or PC DVD Drive") and the Media Downloader to do the job?
Either way, some people get excellent results. Others do not. For those do not, the remedy is converting the VOBs to DV AVI with the free download MPEG Streamclip
http://www.squared5.com/
and then bring the DV AVI version into Premiere Elements via its Get Media/Files and Folders.
Have we determined that your Premiere Elements project preset (new project dialog) = NTSC DV Standard or Widescreen or the PAL counterpart? And, have we determined that you export will be as NTSC Standard or Widescreen or its PAL counterpart?
The answer is 99.99999999% in that MPEG Streamclip software conversion.

Video "Hits" After Rendering

After I render a piece of my timeline and look at it on our studio monitor, I'm getting a good amount of what I would call "hits" in the video, like hits you would see on an old tape that's past its prime. The timeline has a number of graphics layered on top of one another with text and moving jpegs, with a broadcast safe filter on everything.
I've had weird things appear after rendering before, but they've always gone away after rerendering. This time they're pretty consistently in the same spots.
Any ideas about settings I should look into or other work arounds?

I have seen this on several occasions and there seem to be a few causes.
possibilities:
1) you are using the Broadcast safe filter, if the clipping on your images are extreme you get strange green and white artifacts after rendering. Try using the 3-way color corrector to bring levels down before applying the BS filter. Or if the artifacts are occurring on graphics, make adjustments in Photoshop (or whatever program you created the graphics in) and bring them back into FCP. A lot of people create graphics using the full range of RGB colors and luminance values. NTSC video does not have as large of a chroma and luma range as RGB.
2) You are working in an uncompressed 10-bit sequence and applying filters that are not compatible (for lack of a better word) with Apple's 10-bit codec. (Or you are just getting random render problems in 10-bit). I have had many, many render issues in 10-bit that went away by switching to 8-bit. In most cases you can't really see much difference between 8 and 10 bit video anyway, so why go through the hassle or working with it. If you are doing a lot of green screen work, you may want to reevaluate this argument.
I'm sure there are other possible causes for the problems you're experiencing, but these are the ones I've run into in the past.
Graeme Nattress knows a lot about 10-bit issues in FCP, perhaps he can chime in with some suggestions/explanations.

Curve 8520 - Video quality after v5.0 update

Hello all!
Got a Curve 8520 and since updating yesterday, the frame rate when recording video has dropped significantly meaning jerky/jumpy video. It may be worth adding that even when in video camera mode but NOT recording the feed is still jumpy.
I can see the difference by watching video I recorded before the update and also by comparing to my wifes phone (exactly the same as mine) which has not had the update yet.
Any ideas or solutions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

You can always downgrade back to the previous OS if you like and see if the video quality returns.
Always, do a backup first, using Desktop Manager > Backup.
1. Delete the newer OS from your PC by going to Control Panel >Add/Remove Programs.
2. Then download and install the older version of the OS. BlackBerry Operating System Downloads
3. Install the older OS to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
4. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
5. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

Poor Video Quality after Streaming

Dear all,
We have been provided with a number of .mpg files from a
client and we have streamed then into Flash, using the usual
settings. When streamed however, the resulting video is of a poorer
quality than the original file.
Just wondering if anyone had any ideas - we are probably
doing something wrong, but we've tried a number of various options
when importing.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
The videos produced may be seen at:
http://www.atomicwebsolutions.com/foodesign07test/reel.asp
Many thanks
Dave

Hi B,
We used - at encoding screen:
Profile - Custom
Video Codec - tried On2 and Spark
Quality - High
Frame Rate - Same as Source
Key Frame Placement - Automatic
We used similar settings for .WMV files in the past and the
video quality was fine, but with .MPG files, the resulting quality
is much less than the original.
Best wishes
Dave

Video Sticks After Rendering

Good evening all,
Hoping one of the many pros here can assist me with a new problem I've encountered?
I have been using my copy of Final Cut Express 4 HD heavily for a couple of years on an Early 2008 Mac Pro (I believe OS 10.9.4) without any trouble. I have since upgraded to the latest Mac Pro (black cylinder) with Yosemite OS installed.
Today, I loaded Final Cut Express 4 HD without any trouble however I noticed the general interface performance was slightly sluggish. Despite that, I imported several GoPro video files and previewed, which played fine. However, after dropping into the timeline and rendering, the footage would play audio fine but the video would stick on two frames going back and forth like a terrible GIF.
Does anybody know how I can fix this, or if this is due to being incompatible with Yosemite? Hope it can be fixed, as iMovie is terrible!!!

The Viewer window can play just about anything - much like playing in QuickTime Pro. However, once you drop a clip on the Timeline, if it doesn't match the Sequence settings there will be problems ... and as you found out, sometimes even after you render.
I usually use Compressor, MPEG Streamclip or QuickTIme Pro to convert.

Issues with video quality after editing in Premiere Elements. Please help!!!

I am having issues with the quality of video output from Premiere Elements. I tried to combine 4 videos clips that I took (all were crystal clear when viewed prior to combining them in Premiere Elements). The first clip is quite pixelated, the second has wavy lines running across it the whole time (recorded webinar), and the third clip looks crystal clear. (FYI...first clip and third clip were both taken using the exact same settings on my Canon) I am not very tech "savvy". I am guessing it has something to do with the way I saved or "shared" the video after editing? But I have NO IDEA what settings I need as I am not very "tech" savvy! I want to upload the finished product to Vimeo. I looked on Vimeo and followed instructions from a tutorial that a Premiere Elements user posted about how to save the best quality video for uploading to Vimeo, and the quality turned out FAR WORSE than the first time I saved it. Please help!!! Thanks so much!

Thanks for your response John! Do you think my issue may be due to the way I initially "set up" the project when I created a new project from the very beginning? I am operating on Premiere Elements 10, so I do not see an option for sharing online directly to vimeo....only facebook and Youtube. I am combining 4 video clips. 3 of the 4 clips were shot on my Canon EOS 60D, and 1 of the video clips was a recording of a PowerPoint based webinar that we did via Meeting Burner (meetingburner.com). Since I am combining more than 1 video format, is it likely that I will run into quality issues? The strange thing was that 2 of the clips shot with my Canon showed up blurry after exporting/sharing my final video, but one of them was still crystal clear. This doesn't make any sense to me since I did not change any settings on my Canon. I didn't see any specific tutorials on setting up the project to match the video from that list of Tutorial links.

WMV, MP4 is low quality after rendering.

I have an AE template that I downloaded from youtube where all I had to do was change the logo and render it out. I want to render it in WMV or MP4 because the file size would be small but when I render it out, the file is small but the quality is terrible. Only when I render it in AVI is when it looks like it's supposed to: 1280x720 HD. The file size is over 1GB. Is there something I'm not doing when rendering in WMV to get the HD quality? Thanks.
THIS IS WHAT I MEAN:

Mylenium's right about beginning at the beginning. If you don't know about the basics, you can get hosed even when working with templates. And here's the beginning:
http://blogs.adobe.com/toddkopriva/2010/01/getting-started-with-after-eff.html
After a while, one important thing you'll learn is that the terms "high quality" and "small file size" are mutually exclusive in AE.

Trouble with video quality AFTER render

why is it that AFTER i render out what is on my timeline (command - r) does my canvas view look all rough and not nearly as smooth as before i rendered it out?
the situation: i am rendering out comps from after effects 6.5 pro. the quicktimes look beautiful when i play them in qt and they look fine when i import them into FCP 5.0.4 in the viewer window. then i render it out (command - r) and what shows up is a rough, very unsmooth version. my first thought was that if i exported it as an animation at millions of colors+, it would look fine, but no luck.
my view in my canvas and viewer windows is set to 100%.
anyone?
thank you!

Go to "Sequence"-"Settings" check the Frame Rate and Resolution settings.

My HD video lagging after rendering it.

I have a source video file in m2ts format with resolution 1440x1080 that I edited in another software and then I load it into AE to applied some effects and when I am rendering it and play it in a media player it lagging thru almost the hole video. The only thing that doesn´t lagg is the effects created in AE. What is the problem to all that? My computer is new with 6gb ram, ati radeon 2gb ram dual gpu and CPU Intel i7. Im kind a new to render in HD and has never rendering any HD projects yet (this is my first). I also tried different HD ouput format but it doesn´t help. The format I want to have it in is MPEG2 Blu-Ray. I am useing AE CS4.

Well, to what specs are you rendering? I hope you are not using the default Lossless output, which is uncompressed. Even the juiciest computer can't play that in realtime. The number of effects etc. don't have anything to do with that. M2TS is compressed, so naturally you will have to chose a compressed format as well to get the same playback performance. MPEG-2 BD would definitely work and AE spits it out (full version, noit trial), so try that. For desktop review, use H.264 or WMW or a compressed Quicktime format.
