Everything pixelated after rendering + purple render line

Hello,
Before I render, all my photos, video and Boris 3D slides look perfect. After I render, everything is pixelated in squares and there's a purple line at the top of my sequence. After I export the sequence as a Quicktime movie, everything is still pixelated in little squares. There are post-rendering screen shots below so you can see what I mean.
I've checked all my settings and everything appears to be correct. Here's what I've done so far:
- All video footage shot on Canon 5D Mark II at 29.97 and converted to Apple XDCAM EX 1080p30 (35Mb/s VBR) clips
- All photographs shot with same camera. Kept as JPGs.
- Sequence settings are:
          Frame size - 1920 x 1080 HDTV1080i 16:9
          Pixel Aspect Ratio - Square
          Unchecked Anamorphic 16:9 box
          Field dominance - None
          Editing timebase - 29.97
          Compressor - XDCAM EX 1080p30 (35Mb/s VBR)
          Quality - 100%
          Audio rate - 48Khz
          Depth - 16 bit
          Config - Channel grouped
In this same project, I have a few sequences of video interviews synced with an external audio source, and those sequences look perfectly fine until I add Boris 3D text or regular text over them.
Does anyone know what's happening and how I can fix this? I've read other forum Q&As and can't find an answer.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello again.
I converted several clips to Pro Res 422 (LT) and changed all my FCP settings to match. I started a new project, opened a new sequence, and when I dragged a newly-converted clip onto the timeline, this message popped up:
          For best performance your sequence and external video should be set to the format of the clip you are editing.
Whether I hit yes or no, the footage looks beautiful on the timeline. But as soon as I add text, in both situations (yes, change sequence settings; no, don't change sequence settings) the footage and the text are pixelated, per the images I posted above.
I'm no FCP newbie but now that I think about it, I get this message quite a bit when editing. So where am I going wrong? For this most recent batch of clips, I converted in MPEG streamclip with these settings:
          Apple Pro Res 422 (LT)
          100% Quality
          Sound: Uncompressed, stereo, auto
          Frame rate: Left blank
          Frame size 1920 x 1080 (unscaled)
          Nothing checked under "Deselect for progressive movies:"
          Field dominance: Upper field first
          All other fields at presets
Now here are my FCP settings:
Sequence settings:
          Frame size: 1920 x 1080 (HDTV 1080i 16:9)
          Pixel aspect ratio: Square
          Unchecked box for Anamorphic 16:9
          Field dominance: None
          Editing timebase: 29.97
          Compressor: Apple Pro Res 422 (LT)
          Quality: 100%
          Audio: 48Khz, 16-bit, Channel grouped
Easy Setup & Audio/Video Settings:
          Sequence preset - Apple Pro Res 422 (LT) 1920x1080 30p 48 Khz
          Capture preset - HDV
Where am I going wrong? I'm so confused.
Thanks for your help.

Why is my text jagged/pixelated after rendering?

Hi
I am new to motion and I went through a tutorial and I still can't solve this and I'm sure it's simple
I created some freehand text in motion, exported it and placed it in my FCP time line
When I play it in the FCP time line it's clean but when I render the line, it becomes jagged and pixelated. I thought rendering would not do that. It's clean in Motion when I create it and play it, it's clean on export in the viewer, it's clean when I drop it in the FCP time line, but as soon as I render the project the text becomes jagged
Any help is much appreciated
Thank you
David

Images become pixelated after Rendering

Hi,
I have a rather old version of Premiere Pro. (V 7.0) and I'm trying to put stills in my video but when I do and then render the video, all my images become pixelated. The images started out crisp and clear before rendering. I have been resizing/ repositioning the images but I tried without resizing and the images still become blurred and pixelated. I've tried exporting to see if it was just the viewer but video comes out pixelated as well. I've tried several things:
Images are PNGs. I've tried .Tiff and .Jpg and neither made a difference.
Images that are not resized pixelate as well.
Quality is set to Highest.
Zoom Level is 100%
Tried setting Pixel Aspect Ratio to Square pixels.
Below is an example of my problem. The images have yet to be resized and are still becoming pixelated.

I'm having same issue. Premiere Pro has THE WORST customer support. I waited on hold for over 1 hour and 18 minutes, and when I got connected 10 minutes 'til 9, they said I had called in too late, and that is why my call was transferred to a sales person. I'm looking to ditch my PP CC and find something with better customer support...let me know if you find something as well.

Red rendering line in timeline turns green after rendering but then reappears.

I''m a new user of Premiere Elements 10 and relatively new to video editing. My system info is: 2010 Mac Pro quadcore 2.66 Ghz with 12 Gigs of memory, NVIDIA GeForce GT120 512Mb running Lion 10.7.3. The red rendering line in my project turns green, as expected, after rendering but then reappears red after I close the project and reopen it. The project is saved regularly after rendering and everything works normally. No changes are made to any clips and as I stated the render line is green when the project is saved and closed. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for that information. It kills about all of my theories.
Something is keeping PrE from seeing the links that it created to the Render Files, so PrE cannot find them - the link is dead.
I know so very little about Mac's, that I cannot even imagine where to begin. Maybe a Mac-user will drop by, and have an idea, and then we both will learn something.
Wish that I had more to offer, but good luck,
Hunt

Color linies after rendering

Hi
I have a good video clip with a horisontal sharp transition from blue to red. Then i apply Motion to the clip ( Scale 110 % ) After that I render the clip.
After rendering there is a thin green linie in the transition from blue to red.
Anybody knows how to get rid of this green linie ?
The clip mentioned above is a test clip which i have made. When I use Motion to my clips there are green or red shadows in the color transitions.
Hope for a helping hand - thank you

It's your monitor, computer monitors can not be relied on for color accuracy.
Try setting RT to Unlimited.
Put all your animation on V2, put a Shape (Generators > Shapes > Square) on V1. Make the Square the size and color you want. Before editing it into the Sequence, in the Viewer window, top left, enter the duration you need. This will be more stable with coloring.

Vertical lines showing up after rendering chroma key on Canon 60D footage...

Ok so I am working with Final Cut Pro 7 right now and this is my first green screen attempt.
1) I shot the footage with my Canon 60D and did a log and transfer so I could make the H.264 files into Apple Pro Res 422, the correct method.
2) I then applied Color Smoother 4:2:2 , then Blue and Green Screen and selected green, then Spill Supressor, then Matte Choker, then Mask Feather. After tweaking the parameters throughout the filters I came out with a perfect image.
3) I then tried placing another ProRes video underneathe of the clip so that the video would show in place of the green. It worked and looked great.
HOWEVER
4) Upon rendering and playing back through the final image I noticed vertical lines running down the 60D footage. At first I thought it was the image underneath coming through, but even after removing the image and simply using chroma key until the green turned to black and rendering again, the lines were still present. Am I doing something wrong?
Please help, I have a deadline
-Eric Widder

The HQ flavor of ProRes is overkill for this footage (I also have this model Canon), but that's not really important to fixing your problem.
Further to what Rv told you: I've long been advised by people who are savvy about keyers to avoid the stock FCP keyer and use the Primatte plug-in – and that's been my go-to tool. Recently, I tried the new keyer in Motion5 and was very impressed. I tested it on a project I'd been only OK about and found it made a huge difference. If you're going to do a lot of this kind of work, check it out. For $50 the keyer alone is worth it.

After Effects change size of the Movie after rendering mp4

Hi,
I created a new composition and wanted to render it as an mp4 file. The composition has a size of 1500px x 1000px, after rendering, the mp4 file has a size of 750px x 576px - everthing is distorted. I don't know what happened, because everything was prechecked because the size matters.
Is someone know what happend and what I can do, to prevent such a mistake? (it is my first After Effects project ever - I'm a nube)
Thank you Dan

mp4 is a compression format based on specific blocks of pixels and the legal sizes are set by the codec, there is nothing you can do except pick another codec if you must have 1500 X 1000 as a final size. Why did you pick that size? If you must deliver an mp4 then you should be working with standard sizes for your compositions and they should be square pixels... Always square pixels for mp4.

Choppy playback, when render line showing gray (niether green or red).

Hello,
Initially the render line shows red and gray in some parts. When I render the movie the red sections do turn green, but the gray portions remain gray. Playback is fine while in the green areas, but stalls and becomes extremely choppy when passing over the gray areas (I've posted a phicture to help make my explaination a little clearer). Does anyone know a fix for this?
Thanks,
Nadine.

Vid_2011
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
Without further information, there is nothing to fix. See explanation to follow.
The area of the Timeline over which the green line appears tells me that you
(a) edited original video which presented with no color line and the edit forced the red line which you "rendered" to green.
(b) Or, you had content that imported originally to present with the red line over the content and you rendered to green.
A video properties and project preset mismatch.
What are the properties of the Timeline over which your "gray" no colored line situation exists? At face value, they could be imported media that imported with no colored line over their contents, and you have not edited yet. Please detail the situation so we know the real situation.
Just in case recap....
no colored line over Timeline content (only seen on first drag before edit of content) when native format and project preset is set to match the properties of the source media. The program is telling you that you have the best possible preview. So, no rendering is needed or possible. If you edit this type, the indicator line turns red and rendering/edits/rendering thereafter involve only red green changes, no more no colored line.
green line over Timeline...you have the best possible preview, no rendering is needed or possible.
in versions earlier than 11, red line indicates need for Timeline rendering to get the best possible preview. After the Timeline rendering, the red line turns green with all the implications stated above.
In versions 11 and 12, the red Timeline render indicator is no longer and now is an orange line.
Please review and consider and please get back to us with more details as to what is in the tracks below the render indicator lines.
Thank you.

Sound problems after rendering

Hi,
Being that I have Premiere Pro 7.0, I am not too sure how much help I will get, but i was hoping that someone here could still help if all possible. Here is my problem. I thought I start practicing developing video lessons for 3d software. These lessons would be created using a screen captureing program, called camStudio. In my first lesson, my first try doing the entire lesson as one video, I found out that the video file size exceeded CamStudio's exporter file size allowance when trying to save out to Microsoft DV 1 AVI file. I then decided to split the lesson into 2, but final compose it as one video in Premiere Pro 7.0. Since the lesson was broken up into 2 screen captured videos, I thought it would make things easier if each screen captured video was in its own simulation. So, in other words, I have created 2 simulations in one project, and then I had nested both of them into the 3rd simulation. For example, simulation 1 was called lesson1 part a, and simulation 2 was named lesson1 part b, and the third simulation was called lesson1. Once I had everything setup, at first everything was working fine, meaing I could see the video and hear the sound tracks. However, after I choose to render the sequence using Microsoft DV11 AVI, I do not get any sound, and yet I made sure that the exporter exports both the video and audio. Furthermore, after rendering the project, going back to Premiere Pro's project, and pressing play, I get the error.... Disk Write Error: Verify drive connection, available disk space and disk access privileges
However, when I go inside simulation 1 or simulation 2, I still hear their sound tracks. One other thing I have noticed is that I get the sound back in the project if I move the orginal simulations into a new simulation. By doing that, I am then able to recover the project,. but if I choose to render again, the same process happens all over again.
Does anyone Have any ideas?
My Specs
Adobe Premiere Pro 7.0
Windows XP SP3
CPU 3.0GHz processor
RAM 512MB

so are you saying that the problem could be comming from how I did my recording with CamStudio? Not to change the subject, but you see, I am kind of lost. My goal is to provide some free video lessons. I was thinking my final encoded videos will be in DivX or XVid. CamStudio does offer users to compress to thise types of format. Howeveer, due to owning a very cheap microphone, those kinds that sit on your desktop, is causing me to have the biggest problem, since there is a good amount of background hissing noise in my recordings. So, I have been using both CamStudio for the screen capturing and Audacity to do the voice recording. Then in Audacity, I try my best of tuning up the voice and removing the background hissing noise. Once that is finished, I then need some sort of video editing software that allows me to put the video and my voice recodring together as well as splicing areas of the lesson where I stutter or slurr my speach a bit, which can be easily fixed in Adobe Premire Pro. However, my version of Premiere does not offer XVid or DivX encoding. I was thinking of using VirtualDub, but I really do not want to have 5 programs, just so that I can fix all of my problems, not to mention I have no $$$$ left. So is there a free better way?

Audio delay after rendering

Hello,
I'm a YouTuber from Poland who puts on my channel movies (named commonly gameplays) from variety of games. I rendered about 250 gameplays using Premiere Pro CS5.5 and CS6. Except for the raw video from the game, I also render my gameplays adding the video from internet camera and sound of my voice from TeamSpeak (material from the game, camera and teamspeak are recorded separately).
Recently I encountered a very wierd problem with my Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 - audio from the game is delayed after rendering movie. My voice is rendered as it should be with no delays.
Everything was fine earlier, I had no problems! And I haven't changed (consciously) anything at all im my Premiere Pro CS6 settings nor in my hardware. What is more important, when I render only half of the sequence or some part, audio is okey and there are no delays - therefore this excludes a hypothesis about beeing something wrong with my recording settings. It seems that is happening only when I render video from the beginning...
It may be important to say, that normally I record all videos with MSI Afterburner but recently I installed FRAPS on my computer. And than this problem came out. I have no idea how that may be related but it's just an observation. After instaling FRAPS I had another problem with memory paging file - games were closed when I recorded with MSI Afterburner due to insufficient virtual memory. Never had this problem either. I uninstalled FRAPS, reinstalled MSI, installed FRAPS again and now I don't have that problem. Another weird thing going on...
Edit
When I close Premiere Pro CS6 I receive a message that Adobe Media Core CS6 stopped working... may it be related?

Tammy,
If we've dropped a bit of time for this part of the edit, you now have time for more fun aspects of it.
While I will casually monitor my Meters, I spend much more time with a good set of noise-canceling headphones, listening critically. The Meters are basically to point up potential issues. With Audio, if you have not invested in a really good set of headphones, do yourself a big favor, and sneak 'em into the budget.
Glad that you got things toned down.
Now, let's go on to Lesson 02 - The Audio Mixer. Unlike adding Keyframes to a Clip, when your cutting is done, you can apply Track Keyframes to attenuate (also Pan, etc.) you Audio Tracks to suit. One would just change the Send in that Track to Write, or Touch, and "ride the gain" with the slider, as is required. I probably do most of my Audio editing there, than addressing the individual Clips. First thing that I have done is cut back a bit on the frequency of the Track Keyframes in Edit>Preferences, as I find the default to add too many (and you can go in and adjust these by hand, if you need to "smooth" things out a bit.). One caution: do this when you are satisfied with the cuts, Clip placement, etc., as these Keyframes are applied to the Track. If you were to remove a Clip, and replace it, those Keyframes would apply to that new Clip, whether you want them to, or not. This trips some folk up, if they do the Audio Mixer thing too soon in the editing. Wait until you are "in love" with your Timeline otherwise. It's like scoring a Project. One does that as about the very last step, or much work will be repeated, and that is not fun.
Good luck,
Hunt

Artifacts created after rendering

Hi,
I'm using Premiere Pro CS3 to edit my animation movie.
When I was using my old computer everything worked just fine, but when I copied the project to my new computer I noticed that after rendering, some artifacts were created in some of the shots (the artifacts do not appear in the original files just after rendering).
I installed premiere again but that didn't help, also my graphic card driver is the most updated.
Anyone know what can be the problem?
Thanks.

That helped some but I still think I have some setting not right? I just upgraded to 6.0 and a new computer and just started having this porblem. I'm running an oracle with a ton of ram somewhere around 60 and really good graphics card I'm really surprised that I need to wait for a minute or 2 for the yellow render screen to go away and show my video again? Not sure just kinda quarky I think

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.

Rendering problem, changes do not show up after rendering?

I am new to this and can not figure out why the end result after rendering only shows the "original" movie clip, none of the editing i have done are showing up? when i scrub through the composition everything works fine? I have tried both the ordinary render queue in AE and Adobe media encoder.

Yeah I think I got it right with the rendering queue, however I saw something now that may have something to do with the problem, my corrections is visible when I have "fast draft" chosen under the "fast previews" button, when i change to "off (final quality" the effect disappears? I thought the choices under that button just is what it says, for fast previews?
I attach the screenshots you where asking for.

After rendering clip is in slow motion

Hi,
I've been using Gopro shots, which were converted to AVI with Cineform, following the CS 6 issue:
Sequence setting, and clip rate: 1280x720, 100fps, avi. after the rendering the clip takes place in slow motion on the timeline.
Why is that?
If I use the same clip in the setting 1920x1080 60fps render remains the original speed, so it will not slow down.
Thanks, Alex.

The pc can handle the yellow line, but not some of the cross fades.
The clip plays in normal speed after exporting the 1280x720, 100fps.
It only slows down on the timeline.
Any solution or idea what the problem is?
i put it in 60fps sequence because it doesnt slow down after rendering.

Jaggy Edges: None Before Rendering - Plenty After Rendering

hi guys.
i'm working on a stop motion project at the moment. in Sequence Settings, Compressor is set to photo-jpeg, frame size and pixel aspect ratio to HD 1440x1080, field dominance to none, video processing to "always render in RGB" and rendering quality is set to Best.
now, the problem i've been facing is that the unrendered footage looks perfect, crisp and sharp in terms of its quality. but then it acquires jaggy edges on all of the objects in the footage after rendering!
OR... sometimes the footage looks fine when paused, but has jaggy edges in motion, when i press Play.
i even tried to export the footage without rendering it, but the exported material had the same jaggy edges issue.
could anyone help me with advice, please?
the imported photos of this stop motion project are top-quality. so the resulting final product with these jaggy edges is much more than undesirable!
thanks in advance.

Ah, but you might have made some changes in AE Preferences, perhaps.
Mind you, I only did a fast once-over in this thread, I may have missed something, so I have to ask: do you have multiprocessing turned on?
If so, turn it off and leave it off until you get more memory: you don't have nearly enough memory to use it. Considering AE 10 can use all the memory your machine can hold, 4GB ain't nothin' anymore. 16GB is pretty darned good, and 32GB is even better.
