Exporting HD video to Blu-ray format causes motion blur

Using Premiere Pro CS4, I have HD video projects that are either 720p30 and 1080i (60i). The 720p video is 1280x720 (1.0) 60fps. The 1080i footage is 1920x1080 (1.0) at 29.97 fps.
For exporting the video to a format suitable for burning to Blu-ray (using Encore) I've am using the MPEG-2 Blu-Ray format using either the HDTV 1080i High Quality or the HDTV 720p 59.94 High Quality presets, depending on the format of the original video that I'm compiling.
I didn't notice it at first but when I burned first my test Blu-ray disc I found that the video was having some wierd exaggerated motion blur characteristics going on. Any abrupt movment, such as a person turning their head or a video box shrinking from full screen to half screen would be wildly blurred. I thought it might have been a result of the burn but I subsequently found the problem was introduced during the video export process in Premiere Pro. I just didn't catch it because I wasn't looking closely enough.
Because I am using the default settings for the two presets cited above I'm at a loss about what is introducting this blur or how to go about mitigating it. Anyone got any tips? What could be having such a problem making motion which shouldn't blur too much blur so badly? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Ok, I'm stumped for the moment. To better illustrate what's going on I'll post some pics of the problem. I'm using a piece of video that's not part of my projects but it does illustrate what's going on pretty well.
The first is what Premiere Pro is displaying for the source video. I'm currently using a Sequence Preset of DVCPROHD 720P 60P even though I don't have the hardware for it. The reason being is it stopped the blur from happening in the timeline and I think that's because this preset had a 59.94 fps preset and the source video was 60fps.

The second is a Premiere Pro frame grab of what the source video file looks like. I'm using an export of Windows Bitmap with a preset of HD Square Pixel Bitmap 720p. I'm using the Progressive setting because if I choose either Upper or Lower first the image looks even worse.

The third is a Premiere Pro frame grab of what the exported video file looks like. The video was exported using MPEG Blu-ray with a preset of HDTV 720p 59.94 High Quality with no modifications. I'm using an export of Windows Bitmap with a preset of HD Square Pixel Bitmap 720p. I'm using the Progressive setting because if I choose either Upper or Lower first the image looks even worse. Incidentally, this exported video displays in the Premiere Pro timeline with visible motion blur characteristics whereas the source video did not.

What these images show.
1) The source video displays crisp in Premiere Pro even though this is footage of a video transition.
2) The source video exports out with some motion blur.
3) When you do a frame grab of the exported video the motion blur of the exported video increases.
As I said, I'm stumped. I've tried modifying every setting in the exporter for MPEG Blu-ray with a preset of HDTV 720p 59.94 High Quality and I can't stop this blur. I looked at the H.264 Blu-ray setting but it appears useless. Every time I try to export, the exported video crashes Media Player and when I load it into Premiere Pro I see the video now has motion blur.
At this point I'm wondering if upgrading to CS5 will make a difference or not. That's about the only thing I can think of that I haven't tried yet.

Exporting 1080i footage to blu ray format.

Hi there,
I have captured some 1080i footage in premiere pro CS4 and have been exporting sections as image sequences in progressive to do some rotoscoping. I now want to produce the video in 2 formats. One intended to be a standard interlaced def DVD and the other to be the highest possible quality for blu ray. Could someone help me with whether i need to deintelace the footage to make it progressive when exporting or will selecting the blu ray setting do it for me at the best possible quality.
Many thanks...

will there be a combing effect when played on a computer monitor
No. Your software Blu-ray player will deinterlace it properly for you. By way of comparison, notice that I didn't say Media Player.

Exporting MPEG2 files for Blu-ray from 720p60

I am exporting MPEG2 files for Blu-ray from 720p60 using compressor 3.05. I export straight from Final Cut 6 to compressor. It all looks great except I end up with some frames in the video that pixelate. It is just one frame, and the average viewer may not see it, but if you go frame by frame you see it. I thought it was just a bad export, but I exported the file again and the same thing happens again on the exact same frame. The fact that it happened again on the exact same frame was very odd to me. It is this way on five different video files. It's certainly not like that in the original on my timeline, so I don't know why it is doing that.
I guess I will try exporting a quicktime file first and then putting that file through compressor to see if that makes a difference. Any ideas from anybody?

Exporting a quicktime file first still produced the pixelated frame. I'm not sure what else to try.

Encoding Canon HG20 Video for Blu-Ray

I have a Canon HG20 HD video camera and I'm in the process of encoding and burning some video to Blu-Ray.   I want to maintain high quality on the end result.   I'm using the highest setting on my HG20 camera - 1080 resolution at 24mbs.   From what I've read, the output of this camera is actually in 1080i format.   So when I set the sequence up in Premier CS4 I'm using the 1080i30 (60i) non-anamorphic setting.   Can anyone tell me if this is correct?
I'm then encoding this using Adobe Media Encoder using the HDTV 1080i encoder using the defaul settings - although I'm changing the audio from PCM to Dolby Digital so save a little space. I'm then burning this to blu-ray using Adobe Encore CS4 using the video which has already been encoded by Media Encoder.
The problem I'm having is when I view the video on the finished blu-ray, the video isn't as smooth flowing as it seems it should be - seems to be just a little jerky.   Based on how I'm importing, encoding and burning this project can someone tell me if I'm doing something incorrectly?
Thanks in advance for any input/advice provided!

Thanks for the replys!
I went back and rechecked all my work and rebuilt the project over again starting from Premier Pro.   This time it came out fine - so I'm assuming I must of had a setting incorrect on one of the steps in my last process.
I basically imported the video into Premier Pro using the 1080i30 (60i) non-anamorphic setting.   Then I encoded using the1080i 30fps (H.264 Blu Ray) setting from Media Encoder.   Then I added that encoded video to Adobde Encore using the Blu-Ray, H.264 setting and burned the disc. Of course with a 2-hour long video segment this entire process took a few days
The result of the last burn was great!   The video was very smooth - not jerky like my previous attempt.    So I think as long as I get these setting correct, I should be fine on my futher projects.
Thanks again for the feedback!

Saving in Blu-Ray format

Final Cut Studio HD has an encoder that supports Blu-Ray format. So, if I purcfhase Final Cut Studio, is it possible to burn a Blu-Ray disk... or just to save media in a Blu-Ray format? Is there something like.. "an external blue ray burner?"

Here is the nightmare I'm facing...
FCP 5.1.4, Encore CS3. HDV edit in FCP, full rez QT out. Compressor interprets as 1920x1080 instead of 1440x1080. Whatever. When I apply an h.264 preset, the interpretation for output is 720p...huh?
So I gave up on Compressor 2.
I tried importing previously compressed SD MPEG2 files into Encore, rejected them. I've since updated to Encore 3.0.2 but I don't know if that's fixed it. Nonetheless, now I have to let Encore handle the transcoding of my full rez program(s) related to this project.
Buggy program, by the way. On 4 or 5 tries now of building a Blu-Ray project as an iso, Encore always reports the same error after MANY LONG HOURS of transcoding/building...Error code 6. Googled it, nothing useful on fixing it.
I am pretty desperate, does ANYBODY have a workflow for burning Blu-Ray video discs editing in Final Cut and authoring in Encore WITHOUT Premiere in the equation?? For what it's worth, I do not have Premiere installed.
Thanks in advance.

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12/12.1 running on?
Assuming Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit for the moment
After edit process, you go to Tools/Movie Menu (if you want disc menu), and then to
Publish+Share
Disc
Blu-ray
for the burn to Blu-ray disc format on the Blu-ray disc (25 GB or 50 GB).
Also, remember that, if you use stop markers in your project, the stop markers in Premiere Elements Blu-ray disc format
on Blu-ray disc are not recognized by your player at playback.
In Premiere Elements 12/12.1, Publish+Share/Disc/Blu-ray...disc is your only choice, no burn to folder or to ISO Image.
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

What I read in the PDF version of the manual (while I was waiting for my plane this afternoon), it seems pretty comprehensive. I was particularly interested in what it had to say about creating your own templates.
Supposedly, it will remember if I left invisibles showing in templates (one of my big complaints with Pages 1). I'll find out soon enough. I must say that opening my two documents I use for answering posts here in discussions sure did open faster & navigating an 11-page table was much faster.
Another good thing I noticed, the font used for the serial number is much clearer & there were no confusing characters - O/0, S/5, etc.

I am trying to burn videos to blu-ray DVD

Hi, I am trying to burn videos to blu-ray DVD, but unfortunately Encore is no longer available. How do I burn DVDs with the software currently available, which software do you recommend, and is there a link to show me how to use the software? Thanks a lot!

You need Encore CS6 which is bundled with Premiere Pro CS6.
There is no Encore CC so you must install Premiere Pro CS6 in order to get Encore CS6.

HD Video to Blu Ray in Final Cut Express HD

Would like to be able to print HD video to Blu Ray, but not aware of any solutions currently offered by Apple. Are any in the works and if not, what seems to be the best 3rd party solution to achieve this?

Check out the link below and particularly the additional link within where you will learn how to create Bluray discs using your regular redray DVD burner on standard DVD discs, no bluray involved.
This works if the Project is 20 mins or less. You do need Toast 10 or 11, I think 9 may also work plus the Bluray plugin for Toast. Usually you get the plugin with the later versions but check this before you purchase.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/9685570#9685570
You can of course invest in a Bluray burner and use Blurary discs giving you longer record times.
My burner is an external Mercury Pro from Other World Computing. Works just fine.

How do I make interactive DVD/Blu-Ray menus with motion?

So, adobe doesn't support Encore anymore which means I can't use dynamic link to AE to create interactive DVD/Blu-Ray menus with motion.... or can I? Is there something I'm doing wrong? While in Encore, I go to dynamic link and boom, dynamic link to AE is not highlighted. If I can't make an interactive menu with motion using adobe, then what can I use? This is causing a major problem for me and my clients. (if i over looked the answer to this in another post, my apologies)

You can use the "Create After Effects Composition." This prompts you to create an independent version of the Encore PSD menu file, and opens the layered file in AE CC and creates a new composition with appropriate settings. AE no longer has mpeg export, so you export from AE to AME.
There were some workflow options that I did not play with much, but they were never what I saw as the basics for using AE to create the motion background.

Blu-ray creation causes windows blue screen crash

I am testing Premier Elements 7 for the creation of best quality DVD and Blu ray disks. Source is AVCHD 1920x1080i and I have managed to create a number of DVD's and one Bluray without problem. My latest trial creating a Bluray disk failed at about 98%, burn in progress with a Device Error message. This resulted in a blue screen windows crash. Far more worrying is if I re-insert that BD RE disk back into my PC to erase it and try again, it immediately prompts a Blue screen windows crash, so I guess the disk is ruined. I have previously used Premiere Pro, Ulead and more recently Cyberlink Power Director and Sony Vegas. The quality of the DVD footage produced by Premier is far superior and the Bluray output was also excellent. Cyberlink has proved to be a good package appart from the poor quality of re-rendered output. Sony Vegas Pro seems the only one to recognise raw AVCHD footage and opt not to recompress it!!! The Movie Studio version doesn't appear to do this, however, I have only had a limited go at the trials. I had narrowed my choice to upgrading to Adobe Premier, or the cheaper Elements 7 which suits my requirements for home movies, however, a major windows crash, which I tend never to get has got me running scared. Why o why is there not a burn to hard disk option for Bluray creation as for DVD? Has anyone experienced a similar problem - any ideas as to what I could try?

A BSOD situation normally indicates something is wrong systemicly with the computer. It can be either software (usually OS), or hardware related.
The first thing that I would do would be to gather all info on your system and list full OS, version, updates, etc., and all hardware specs. Something in those lists might provide a clue.
Next, I'd look carefully at Event Viewer, especially at the System and Applications tabs. Look for yellow warning messages at the time of the BSOD, and especially the red error messages. It might be easier to invoke a BSOD, so you will know the exact time and date of the crash. Study each yellow and each red message carefully. Many might not yield much useful info, but some might tell you a lot of about what is happening, and may even give you the cause. Please explore every link that is offered in each of these messages. They should take you to either the MS site, or to the site of a software, or hardware company. These will likely be where you'll gather the most important data.
Here's what to look for in Event Viewer:
Give us any details found there.
Also, see this LINK. The video is a bit long, but will furnish you with a lot of troubleshooting tips, and also tools from MS. Make notes of these tools and their use.

Necessary Components to Transfer AVCHD Lite Video to Blu-Ray Discs

I have AVCHD Lite HD video footage from a Panasonic Lumix DMZ-FZ35 that I wish to transfer to disc in its full reproduction so that I do not have to continue storing it on SDHC memory cards. Is it true that with an 2009 iMac I can achieve this task by utilizing Roxio Toast 10 Titanium along with an external Blu-ray burner or do I need other hardware or software?
Also, I understand that the this video content could be saved on DVD-Rs, but would take up multiple discs vs. a single Blu-Ray disc.
Any websites or forum information available on this concern would be appreciated.

Picking up on my original post about H264 - as I have a dual boot machine I also have a clean installed Win 7 /64bit partition which I use for general bits of work.
On that I have CyberPowerDVD SW installed which plays all Video files fine including BluRay material etc.
Interestingly when I try to play the file that AME has created from the BluRay H264 preset it says 'It cannot play the file as it is a format it does not recognise...'
This is really weird and would suggest AME is not encoding the file corrrectly??
I have already removed and made a re-install of CS4 on my main [video editing] partition but there were some fragments of CS4 left intact
How do I completely remove everything?
I tried the CS4 clean script but it said it relied on Microsoft CLean Up utility and gave a link
When I loooked on Microsoft web site the link to download it had been removed?
Also Adobe say the CS4 remove script is no longer supported ?
Can anyone advise on the correct tool/procedure to completely remove CS4 from a Win 7/64bit installation so I can then try re-install of CS4 one more time....in case the installation is corrupt in some way
I can't explain why I am having this problem otherwise if other people find AME encodes OK with H264 BluRay preset.

Exactly what are you Exporting?
How are you burning your BD?
Are you doing the authoring in Adobe Encore, the authoring program, included with PrPro, since CS 3?
If you are using Adobe Encore, and having issues with the resulting BD (Blu-ray Disc), then I would post the full details of your Project, and steps taken, in the Adobe Encore Forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/encore/encore_general

Exporting to Encore for Blu-ray

Hi all
Couple of questions guys before I get stuck into some blu-ray projects
I have a couple of HDV projects that I want to get onto a Blu-ray disc. I have a burner and a test timeline went well - using /export to encore/ with default settings for MPEG2 Blu-ray / direct burn no authoring.
However, if I want to get a few projects on one disc I need to export manually and use encore properly. From Premiere AME I am not sure whether to use the H264-Blu-ray option or the MPEG2-Blu-ray. I assume in either case I set the size to 1440x1080 to match hdv?
Looking at the settings, I think I will get a smaller filesize using H264 and I just know its gonna take longer, but is there anything else to consider - will h264 result in better quality on end disc?
Now when I get to Encore, should I change default settings for new Blu-ray project to 1440x1080 - or leave at default 1920x1440. I understand I need to stop encore from re trancoding.
Any pointers would be much appreciated
Thanks
Mike

Thank you! I've made it to the transcoding stage! (So my fingers are crossed!)
I tried saving the original PSD files as new PSD files (as the original were temp files; which, in hindsight, might have been the issue, as I hear different drives tend to mess up Encore's transcoding process), then I re-imported the PSDs as new menus within Encore. Sure, I had to re-link all the chapters again, but it was made a lot easier thanks to Encore's "Auto-name (sic.)" feature that automatically detects chapter names. Thanks so much! I could kiss you. So many hours wasted trying to resolve this! I really hope I can get this prototype burned overnight!

I can't see a H.264 Blu Ray Format on AME CS6.

Good day!
I just wanna ask how can't I see the format H.264 Blu Ray on my AME CS6. I've provided a screen capture for you to see.
Thanks.

I already reinstalled it.
I'm gonna try installing After Effects and see if that Blu Ray appears.
Wish me luck!
