Cs 5.5 render problem, severe loss in quality.

I film on a Canon 60D in full HD quality. The footage right out of the camera is excellent. However, when I edit it and render it through Adobe Premiere it looses a large amount of quality. It gets what appears to be a layer of white noise on top of it. Here are some screenshots to help illustrate:
This one shows the original footage in Windows Media Player and the rendered footage in VLC.
This one shows the original footage in VLC and the rendered footage in Windows Media Player. Not as big a difference but still too big a difference for me to ignore.
This one shows the original footage on the left and the rendered footage on the right in 1080p on youtube. Still a large difference in quality which shouldn't be there.
The following are my complete render settings.
What is wrong?

A digital dslr preset? I should get my eyes checked!
Still, I would like to hear from someone who knows the optimal render settings I need. I want to learn as much as possible and you don't learn much using default settings.
Some to the point questions:
How are my Bitrate settings? is the bitrate encoding correct? target and maximum bitrate?
What does "Level" mean and should I chose a higher one?
AUDIO:
What should my codec be and why?
Should my frequency be 44 or 48? Why?
What bitrate should I use?
Thanks a lot for your help, Ann!

  • Headphones suddenly hear very bad - severe loss of quality

    Hi everybody.
    I just noticed this. It is the first time this has happened.
    I plugged in my headphones in my MBP and the quality is very poor. There seems to be a loss of frequency. For example, in a song the voice seems to be ver far away, muffled (it sounds nothing like this coming out through the in-built speakers). I'm not sure how to describe it. I guess it could be comparable to that loss of quality when you put the headphone jack halfway through - I assure you, it is not the case now.
    Also I checked this with 2 different headphones - the same.
    I suspect there's something wrong with the wiring (on the MPB's part) or something like this. I hope it's not, though. A thing like this could mean that I have to turn it in to some service for weeks, right? My laptop is my primary computer so this would be a harsh blow.
    Has this happened to anybody else? Any advice? I hope I'm being really stupid and I just fiddled with some setting somewhere. Thanks a lot.

    I have become convinced that my headphone out port is damaged.
    So I would like to know - if anybody can answer this - can the people over at the Apple service change the port? Or do they need to change the whole motherboard (is that the term?). I'm asking because I'm concerned about the money involved in the operation. Am I looking at a reasonable price or at something comparable to purchasing a new one?
    If anybody can shed some light, please. Thanks a lot.

  • Problem of loss of quality inserting a photo into muse

    I shoot photos in RAW, edit them in Photoshop and then save them both as a psd. file and a jpeg, file. I have a photograph website designed in Muse and published online via Muse/Adobe. When I insert photos (the jpeg versions) via a thumbnail widget attached to a lightbox, the photo quality is seriously degraded. The colors are totally washed out and the tonal quality is terrible. If I have shot a photo originally in jpeg I don't have the same problem. I chatted with someone on the Adobe/Muse technical help who thought the problem was that the original image size was being re-sized/re-sampled when inserted into Muse and thus degrading the image. So on his suggestion I  re-edited a sample photo in Photoshop and re-sized the image to match the size as it is automatically re-sized when inserted into Muse....this was not the solution at all. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?

    If you place an image in its original size, Muse don’t touch the image while outputting. That means: If you place an image, which has the same size as it is placed in Muse, the quality is determined by your source image and nothing else.
    Colors: Use sRGB as color profile. This is the color spaces used in WWW.

  • Render problems

    Hi,
    I have serious render problems with Premiere CC. I't wont render at all. Crashes down every time with a window saying occurred serious problem...
    The file that i've been working on is heavy with AE direct links and above adjustment track.
    Im working station is Mac Pro Mac OSX 9.2.
    So I assume having this machine Premiere will run smooth.
    But on contrary I cant touch my files because it will crash down.
    Can anybody have any suggestions that are not exporting all my AE files as movie clips and reedit the whole video again.
    Thanks!

  • Has CS6 fixed the PPro with AE dynamic links slow to render problems?

    I've got PPro with AE dynamic links slow to render problems similar to those discussed in this thread:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/904652?start=0&tstart=0
    As I understand it (and I could well be wrong), if I render a PPro project that has AE projects dynamically linked in (anything from simple lower thirds to color grading), during rendering the AE bits run as a service, which limits the AE bits to a single CPU and effectively stops simultaneous rendering of multiple frames. This is why I can get very high render times (essentially no parallel processing), and why messing with the number of CPUs allowed for simultaneous frame rendering, or the amount of RAM said CPUs can access, has little to no effect on total render time.
    Supposedly as some point AE was going to be changed such that it used Media Encoder to do it's rendering (same as PPro does), thus speeding up rendering for any PPro project that has AE parts dynamically linked in.
    Has this been done in CS6? If not, any idea when that's scheduled to happen?

    (I do wish Adobe staff would keep this distinction mind when creating their videos.  When I saw one about the new background rendering in PP, I was interested, only to learn that he was actually talking about background exporting, a feature PP has had since AME was introduced in CS4.)
    The distinction is not so distinct, and this is an industry issue, not really Adobe. After Effects has a render queue, which is used for exporting, but you can also export. Lightwave has this, even Avid. The terms do have their own distinct meanings, but of course context is usually required. So usually "rendering previews" or "rendering final output" serve as context-sensitive uses of the term.
    Terminology abuse is widespread, even people with video cameras now call themselves "filmmakers" and people who produce films never shown nor intended for a cinema call themselves "cinematographers." ENG video producers are called "photogs" and news photographers are called "photojournalists."
    Transcoding, encoding, rendering, exporting....mish-mashed unfortunately, but thankfully most people can figure out what's meant.
    Back to the OP - After Effects can be used with Adobe Media Encoder, it's just not the default. You can import any composition into AME from AE and render your encoded export.
    As for background rendering....I remember when Pinnacle Liquid was the first to the table with that feature back in 2004 or 2005. It seemed awesome, except that you needed a ton of spare hard drive space and lots of processing to keep the background rendering going...effecitvely your processor was in use 100% of the time. When you weren't scrubbing or playing back, Liquid was rendering previews. Of course, you could use those previews during export but you rarely would have wanted to do so, since it was better quality to reference the original data when compositing the layers and effects to output to a web file, for instance. Then  you had to keep cleaning up the preview cache.
    I rarely render previews at all, and when I do it's just a small segment at a time, just to get a full look at the final composite. Mercury Playback is usually more than capable of playing back most of my edits the rest of the time.

  • Warp stabilization render problem

    Hi,
    I would like to ask if it's possible to render (export) in the same quality after warp stabilization like the original file? (shot with 5D 1920X1080 25fps)
    Itried with best settings, lossless
    with current setting, lossless
    same settings as composition, lossless
    but all seem to be uch worse quality than original file. If I open it for editing in FCProX or Premiere still worse than the orginal next to it.
    Thanks:)

  • Loss of quality when flipping and speeding up video

    Hi,
    I have Adobe Premiere Elements 12. I’m running it on Windows 7, Intel 2.5Ghz, 6GB RAM. The input video is shot on a Sony DSLR, AVCHD/MPEG, 25 fps, 1920x1080.
    I am trying to video myself drawing and then speed it up. However there is a significant loss of quality after I’ve done a vertical flip, horizontal flip and sped up the video. The video appears grainy and jittery. I’ve tried a number of combinations. When I make no changes to the video then the output is fine. The main loss of quality seems to come when I do the horizontal and vertical flip.
    Any tips on how to reduce the loss of quality or where to read to learn about this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Laurie

    Thank you for your speedy response. I am new to the program and it is hard to take on faith after I work on an 80 plus image sequence that they render out ok, since the display in thew viewer is so poor. I did render it out to QT, and yes, the animations play cleanly.
    However there is a secondary problem. Still photos are crisp and clear, however any photos with motion keyframes become soft. At first I thought it was only a problem with my .psd sequences, but the problem persists with non layered image files as well. I come from a photo background, and I know not to expect the resolution from a print, but the poor image quality/bluriness/softness of my keyframed images is noticeable to non-photo types as well.
    Thank you again.

  • Imported & Exported HD Video Imovie '11 Big Loss of Quality

    This is plain outrageous i noticed this flaw about a week ago.
    I noticed how iMovie '11 degrades the quality of any HD Content whether it be a an Imported file or card or camera regardless. And Yes in the Prefrences FULL QUALITY is selected under the video tab. The Exported Content is the same Poor quality under highest settings quality FULL 1080P as imported even if exported a Quicktime X file H264 compression. The bottom line the imported content looks horrible in iMovie '11 it exports horrible too under the highest settings.
    I tried Final Cut X on the other hand and It was Great no loss of quality there via the comand import Imovie Project. But I did notice how Final Cut X messed up on some of the transitions and the titles were off but that was an easy fix
    Something has to be done iMovie '11 When Are you going ship '12 or '13

    I've never noticed this problem: but when I HAVE seen poor quality - by adding an iMovie '09 title onto pristine DV footage, like this:
    ..I've followed Karl Petersen's instructions about how to change it into (apparent) top-notch quality like this:
    Karl suggested opening the exported movie in QuickTime, and pressing ⌘ and 'J' and ticking the 'High Quality' box in the lower-right corner of Video Settings:

  • Loss of quality of exported DVD movie on TV when compared to Digital original

    Hi
    Can anyone please suggest a way to limit the loss in quality when burning a completed movie to a DVD for TV playback?
    When I playback on my Mac monitor (in either MPEG or H.264 saved versions) the image quality is 'mint' and seems as clear/rich as it was filmed. 
    However, once I have exported (using various 'best options' availible to me in via Prem Pro export menus) the SD (and Blu-ray) DVD playback on a TV seems a long way away from the quality level of the digital original still playing on my Mac.
    I am prepared for a drop in quality in both SD and even HD formats due to the compression processes, but I'm still disapointed with how amazing my digital copy looks compared to my best DVD efforts.
    Why is it that commercial 'hollywood' SD are still miles apart from my 'home made' version?
    Can anyone please suggest their tried/test 'digital alchemy' formular for getting fantastic results onto a DVD/TV playback, please?
    Here are my current details/settings:
    Canon 5d and XF300 to capture 1080p 25 fps footage (timeline created to match footage)
    CS5.5 platform = Premiere Pro/After Effects/Media Encoder/Encore (and burn saved ISO image using Roxio Toast version 10)
    Length of edits = 40 to 50 minutes (approximately) creating HD but mainly SD event movies.
    Create HD but mainly SD versions
    Export out of Prem Pro = MPEG or MPED-DVD/Blu-ray H.264
    Video Quality = 5
    Field order = None/Progressive (matching my original source footage)
    VBR 2 = Min 7/Target 8/Max 8.5 or CBR 8
    Use Maximum Render Quality
    Could the issue be with what happens after the export from PremPro into Encore?
    What else could/should I be doing?
    All constructive comments are very weclome and appreciated ...
    Thanks,
    B

    Why is it that commercial 'hollywood' SD are still miles apart from my 'home made' version?
    Because they use super-expensive hardware compression.
    Still, I make DVDs that look almost exactly like the output from Pr using my Kona card.
    I wonder if you're ending up with double-compression on your DVD.  And maybe I'm confused here, but it sounds like you're using Toast and Encore, and I see no reason for that, if so.
    There are a few ways to get to DVD from Pr.  The simplest may be just to send your Pr project to Encore, using Dynamic Link.  That will ensure you're only compressing once.
    Another is to export from Pr or AME using a DVD preset, and when you take the resulting MPEG2 to Encore, be sure your clips are set to "Don't transcode."  And use the comparable strategy for BR.
    CBR at 8 should yield you stunning looking DVDs.

  • Import(?) then export pdf's - loss of quality?

    Hi-
    A complete newbie to printing. I prepared layouts in my database (filemaker pro), exported as pdf. They look great when opened in Acrobat Pro, and print nicely. Now I find out most companies want pdf from In Design or a similar program. If I open pdf's in In design, can I then export them like the printing company wants without any loss of quality? This would all be grayscale, but has a numver of images (it's a book from a specialty dog show).. The layouts are just what I want, with tables that were finicky to get right, and data straight from my database. I would HATE to start over! Any help / ideas would be deeply appreciated!
    BTW - there is no way to mimic pdf''s from In Design in Acrobat Pro?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Interesting question, there's two elements to it, firstly what you assume 'most companies' want and secondly what can Indesign do to help you.
    Firstly, all companies are different and have different workflows and requirements.  The simplest thing to do is to send 'the company' your PDFs as you have them now and ask them to make sure they are suitable.  If not, or if this won't work for you move on to the second question...
    Secondly, yes, Indesign can do that, and I for one frequently use Indesign for just that purpose, refrying PDFs from multiple sources to a more consistent standard.  It depends on what you are using the PDFs for as to what export settings you use but Indesign is very good at this, with the exception of the greyscale part you mentioned.  Others could offer more detailed advice but you have to use Acrobat Pro to make sure this is working properly and apply fixes as necessary.  Personally if greyscale id needed I use the 'TouchUp Object' tool and a plugin called Pitstop but there are other methods too, let us know your specific problems, if any.
    One very useful tool when putting PDFs through Indesign like this is Scott Zanelli's MultiPageImporter, highly recommended for placing more than one page, and sometimes even when placing only one page too!

  • Quicktime loss of quality in web browsers?

    Hello. I'm trying to upload a 30M MOV file to my website. I noticed that there's a loss of quality when the movie plays in a web browser as opposed to just playing it in the Quicktime player outside of the website. Is there something I need to add to the code?
    Note - this applies to just trying to play an MOV in any web browser (meaning, with no HTML - just going 'file', 'open' in any web browser).
    Can I add something to the HTML code that will make the quality match how it looks in Quickime?

    I mean, for me, there is no loss of quality (in fact, image is 100% same) when exporting in original format. And when exporting in reduced sizes in formats like jpeg there is some softening unless output sharpening is applied.
    Otherwise, color is same, tone is same, brightness is same - it's all good for me...
    Exception: some viewers are not color managed, or are color managed but do it "wrong" (I have no idea why color management tends to be so problematic)  - in which case color (and to some extent tone) will be off...

    Im having a problem with the dvd quality, I'm using compressor to convert the video fils from apple prores to mpeg2 .It doesn't matter how long my video is even if its just 5 minutes  I'm getting cut edges/lines  in the video specialy if i have titles it comes up really bad , I took the same video to a friend of mine who have PC and he uses Encore , did the encoding there and it was just fine no problems! BTW I tried using doferent setings in compressor from CBR and VBR I even pushed up the setings to 8 or 9 BR and still no luck !
    does anyone have any idea ?
    Thanks in advence ...

    Let's focus attention on just the Sony. (What model and what resolution are you shooting?)
    For now, I'll assume you're shooting 1080i.
    Take a representaive clip  into a new sequence. Add a title.
    In your sequence, make sure field dominance is set to Upper.
    Set render settings to Pro Res 422.
    After rendering, export QT self contained.
    Import into Compressor (I'm now referring to v3.5).
    Select the 90 minute Best quality DVD preset.
    Open frame controls and turn on (click the gear icon). Set Resize filter to Best.
    Submit burn and check quality on TV.
    Good luck.

  • Exporting to WMV with a massive loss of quality

    Hi there!
    I've never had an issue with this before, but I need a little expert help on this one.
    I'm trying to export a time line, source of 1280x720, into a WMV file. I've done it before with no issues.
    But now, it seems like when the exporting is done, and I open the file, there is a loss of quality in the beginning. It's odd because, it seems like the video starts off just fine, but then a few seconds in, it degrades. The degragation continues for about 5 seconds, making the image a little blurry, but then it kicks back into the high quality it was. It maintains the high quality for the rest of the sequence.
    What is even odder is that, when I export the individual, 5 second scene that looks degraded in the main file all by itself, it looks just fine.
    I can't help but thing that it's something about it in my sequence that is making it do that. There is no effects or transistions between scenes involved at all.
    Im exporting:
    FORMATL Windows Media
    PRESET: HDTV 720 60 High Quality (thought I have used 30 as well, with the same issue)
    Video settings are
    CODEC: Windows Media Video 9
    Encoding Passes: Two
    Bitrate mode: Variable Constrained
    Framerate: 59.94
    Pixel Aspect: Square Pixels
    Decoder complexitiy: Auto
    Keyframe interval: 5  seconds
    Average video bitrate 5000
    Peak Video bitrate 8000
    peak video buffer size 5
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Correct, it has its own ways to mess up your video.
    So, you're not helping with the question at all, you're just rallying against YouTube?
    Thanks for your help.
    We had issues like that with 2 Pass VBR. We even dialled in huge data rates which did not fix the issue,m Switching to a CBR profile fixed it "good enough" but not perfect. In our case wmv was demanded by the client (PowerPoint). I concluded the wmv encoder was defective in AME and best avoided.
    Can you use H.264 instead for your purpose?
    Thanks for the suggestion! I just tried H.264 and had the same exact issue, though.
    Since the individual pieces weren't having the problem, I decided to try some tests. Every piece along was fine, except for the "Begin Transmission" part, which still screwed up.
    So, I tried various renderings with and without it, the words, the static...and eventually came to find out that it was the "Static" video that was doing it. I suppose it may have been because that video was originally 640x480, and I just zoomed into it to make it fit the screen. For whatever reason, that was the problem, and when I re-encoded it with the static gone, it worked just fine.
    Thanks for your help, though!
