Graphics become blurry and quality compromised after rendering

Why do my PNGs -- which are beautiful and crisp -- all go fuzzy (as well as the video even looks less crisp) after I render? If I remove one of the graphics, it sometimes corrects it. I've tried re-importing the pNGs...
Seems related to anything that goes the length of the video (my logo)...or a matte behind the green screen video.
Help please. This is a new problem, and wonder if I've messed with the settings or something without realizing it.
Thanks!

Please remove your telephone number as soon as possible to avoid nuisances. That may not be possible on your side. I will try to get a moderator to do that for you.
Smart Fix Messages
For now, when you import a file into Premiere Elements Timeline and get the Smart Fix message
a. Put a check mark next to "do not show this message again" and click No.
Whatever "fixing" needs to be done, we will do that ourselves. If you ever want to see that type of message again, you can go to Edit Menu/Preferences/General and set the preference to show that type of message.
b. Before all else, we need to have project settings consistent with the properties of what you are putting on that Timeline. The project preset selected needs to match the properties of the source media. If you have more than one format in the Timeline, then you need to set your priorities since Premiere Elements allows for only one project preset.
Project Preset
Until the problems are defined and resolved, set the project preset manually. To do that, File Menu/New/Project, set the project preset to match your primary format, select "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project", exit the area. Then back in the edit workspace, import your files with Add Media/Files and Folders.
a. It is essential that you know the properties of what is going on that Timeline...video (video compression, audio compression, frame size, frame rate, interlaced and progressive, file extension, and pixel aspect ratio), stills (pixel dimensions...for video it is the pixel dimensions that are important and which apply to the considerations), other...
You can get property information by knowing the brand/model/settings of the camera used to record the videos and/or stills or by getting properties readouts from free programs like MediaInfo or gspot
http://www.headbands.com/gspot/

PNG Matter
We will be better able to advance on those issues once we know that the project is set up optimally.
Please review, try these on your own, seek assistance with your associate if you have an arrangement in progress, and then let us know the outcome.
Thanks.

Why is text become blurry and out of focus?

Why is text become blurry and out of focus?

I am confused what device you are talking about. You question is here in the Using iPhone section, but it is marked for your MacBook Pro running iOS 6? If you are talking about an iPhone and you never update your profile to say you are running iOS 7, I would blame the paralax feature that slightly zooms into your picture, making certain low-res photos look extra blurry. Hope this helps.

Screenshots pasted in PS always become blurry / low quality?!

I know many people have problems with clipboard + 64bit PS CS5. My problem however is a little different.
My screenshots seem to paste, but they all become blurry, or "low quality" if you will. I tried pasting the same image in Paint or Illustrator, they remain sharp and fine as they. Help please?

Keep in mind that all screen shots and file formats that do not have the ppi in the metadata, like a pasted image in a new document then saved is. When the ppi is not in the metadata, photoshop assumes 72ppi. The pixel dimentions are that of your screen or the cropped area is you selected a portion of the screen.
The higher the pixel dimentions, the better the quality.
In photoshop you can adjust the ppi in the image>image size menu making sure that resample is not checked. increasing the ppi will reduce the size of the image making it sharper. How sharp is totally dependant on the pixel dimentions.
Other programs may assume a different ppi value.
When pasting an image into photoshop, you will get the best result if you start with a new document using the pixel dimentions of the clipboard. Instead of pasting the image into an existing document of a different pixel dimention.
Hopefully this helps a bit and doesn't confuse the issue more.

One real instrument track becomes blurry and delayed

Hi,
I recorded two real instrument tracks in GB. I successfully recorded the first track and then the 2nd track, but when I returned to play the first track it sounded blurry and delayed while the 2nd one sounded fine. Why is this?
Thanks

Is there a way to view the musical notation of a recorded instrument track?
no, only MIDI

MTS/MPEG Clip- Quality reduced after rendering?

Source video: MTS/MPEG 1440 x 1080, 29.27 frame rate, 1.1 avg. data rate, pixel aspect ratio- 1.3333
Imported file from computer to HDV project.
Viewing the clips in the timeline, the quality is great (on computer and TV monitor). However, once I apply any effect requiring a render, the quality degrades.
What am I missing here?
Thanks!
John

LMVideo
The project preset for the project should match the properties of the source media in order to direct the program to set up the correct space in the Edit area monitor.
The project preset has obvious and subtle effects on the workflow.
If your source is described specifically as 1440 x 1080 (60i)...remembering that 60i represents 60 fields per second and 29.97/30 interlaced frames per second,
then you use...
NTSC
HDV
HDV 1080i30
You do not want an alternative.
If you want to the export to come as closely as possible to the properties of the import, then you look in Publish+Share/Computer/ for
a. comparable format with comparable bitrate and other properties. For example...
Publish+Share
Computer
MPEG
with preset = MPEG2 1920 x 1080i30
The reason that we are using the 1920 x 1080 16:9 instead of the 1440 x 1080 is to avoid the dependency of the player recognition of a 16:9 flag which
is required for the 1440 x 1080 to display at 1920 x 1080 16:9.
We want the bitrate of the export to be a high as the bitrate of the import, so we go under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of the preset to assure that.
Left at preset default
Bitrate
Minimum 18 Mbps
Target 25 Mbps
Maximum Mbps
What is the bitrate for your original that you imported into the project?
Right now, just focus on the above. We can explore
24p Conversion Methods and the like
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE: 24p Conversion Methods, Pulldowns, and Related Interpret Footage
when and if needed.
Your problem originally stated goes to what happens to good Timeline content that goes bad after application of a video effect.
At this point, it become premature to be discussing export settings.
If we assure that the project settings are set correctly, then we need to focus on the video and effects and define which effects and how many to each clip,
unless you have tried each and every one. A good way to get at this type of matter would be to focus on the video and a specific effect...showing screenshots for video before and after a specific effect has been applied. Are you editing these applied effects under Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Expanded Panel for the effect applied?
Please review and consider.
Thanks.

Poor quality video after rendering

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to make a Blu-ray DVD of a 1920 X 1080 avi clip of a looping logo for a client's show. The clip looks ok in the avi form (compressed with laragith codec) but when I turn it into Mpeg2 HD it looks worst with jagged edges on everything. I have tried both Mpeg2 & H.264. I have done CBR recording at max quality & close to max data rates. The original clip is 1920 X 1080 (1.0) 30fps and I have rendered it in Premiere CS3 with a custom timeline of 1920 X 1080 (1.0) and tried both progressive and interlaced without much difference. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Okay, here goes the entire story. We use a program called Office FX made by a company called Instant Effects to add motion video to our power point presentation. Now the other day a client that we're about to do a show for requested a looping logo for some side screens. We had created this effect in Office FX and now had to find a way to place it on a Blu-ray disc. You can "publish" a file from Office FX, but the only choices are 1)Uncompressed, but with a 2GB limit, 2) DivX, which can't be read by either AE or Premiere, 3) Lagarith, which is a LOSSLESS codec. Since the clip is 30 seconds in length the uncopressed option is out. The Lagarith clip (which is about 200 MB in size) actually looks pretty good, through you can see the start of some the problems I'm having ( I failed to mentioned the banding issues which seems inherent in Mpeg2). So to recap. 1) I can only use Lagarith, 2) It is Lossless and pretty good, 3) The avi is 30 seconds in length and 200 MB in size. The resulting Mpeg2 and H.264 files are 1:30 in length (I tripled them on the timeline) and around 400 MB in size. I have tried 1080i at 29.97, and 1080p at 24. The best result I've had in removing the jagged edges is with H.264 but the downside has been codec artifacts (square boxes showing up in the image). Also, please note I did a custom timeline with 1920 X 1080 (1.0 pixels) and laragith as my render

Poor quality video after rendering in CS6

Hi all,
I've recently updated to cs6 and was looking forward to the video editing aspect. Very familiar with iMovie, and don't like the somewhat limited adjustments. Unfortunately, when I rendered my first video in CS6, the quality was horrible. Any suggestions where to turn for advice or tutorials would be greatly appreciated (searching the forum and the web for photoshop video, or movie doens't point me in a helpful direction).
Thanks!

Sorry for the lack of details, I was somewhat looking for a decent online guide but I'd also appreciate any advice as well.
Camera is a Panasonic 3ccd PV-GS500 mini-dv player. I use it primarily for children's theatre performances where the lighting is often suspect. Lots of shadows and poor coloration (blue can lighting on, when multi color should have been used, etc.). With pretty good success, I've been able to fix movies with iMovie, but I think photoshops adjustment layers can really help problem videos where iMovie falls short. I typically export to Media Browser, then use iDVD to create a dvd presentation of the play.
When I tried to do a quick video in photoshop cs6, the export quality was quite poor -- I exported using render video with the default settings that popped up.
Thanks for the help!

Poor quality photos after rendering in Premiere Elements 10 timeline

I've imported my photos from Photoshop Elem. 10, at 720x480 res., 72 ppi, jpeg files. and the photo quality is blurred and pixelated and rendering the timeline doesn't seem to help. I checked the flicker removal box...I'm not sure that helped much either. I did a number of these photo videos in an old Premiere application and never ever had this problem, so I'm not sure what's going on. The photo in the preview looks just fine. I'm doing this video for my daughter's wedding, so want it to be of the best quality. Can anyone give me any hints.

This is rather a PS, on display of DVD-Video on HD TV's. Just did a SlideShow of ~ 4000 x 3000 pxls. Still Images, Scaled to 720 x 480 in PS w/ Bicubic Sharper. It was output to a DVD-Video. When I tested it on my laptop with an HD display, the Images looked just OK - DVD resolution w/ no up-rezzing chip involved. However, when I played that same disc on my Panasonic BD player (w/ up-rezzing chip) on a 42" LED TV, things looked great. Only little problem was that in one Image, I got a bit of "glimmer" in some roof tiles - that Image had been slightly over-Sharpened. My bad. As the glimmer was only in one Image, and its Duration was 05 sec., I let it go, as I doubt that anyone else will even see it, when fed to two very large Diamondtron screens in a semi-dark event hall.
The gist of that is that when played on the multi-drive onto my laptop's 17" HD screen, w/ no up-rezzing chip, the Images were just OK - nothing special, and I knew those Images intimately. However, w/ up-rezzing chip in the BD player, and displayed on a much larger screen, the overall quality improved greatly.
Good luck,
Hunt

The timeline stops unexpectedly in both Premiere Pro CS5 and Encore even after rendering.

I have 16 GB of RAM and a Z77X-UP4TH Gigabyte motherboard. Once I received a message that my RAM was almost all used up. How is that possible for a 7 minute video. I tried deleting photoshop pictures from Photoshop that I use in the video and the history of undo's in Premiere Pro. This has occurred on separate Premiere Pro projects usually about 3/4 through the timeline. It usually only does it once and always at the same place. I even tried replacing with different video but it still stops.

I just wanted to thank you Jim for all the time you spent with me trying to solve my problem. This morning I got in touch with Adobe and the service technition solved my problem. There were two problems, here is what he did. Please follow the steps to fix the crash issue or a playback issue: Go to start/search program box, type %appdata% and then got to roaming folder/adobe/premiere pro/5.0 and rename it as 5.0. Then re-launch and check. He said sometimes microsoft updates mess up the preferences and therefore you must rename the file to reset the preferences. The second problem was that I needed to empty the media cache after long projects. He told me to try cleaning media cache in edit/preferences/media and clean media cache files. It's running well now. But once again I appreciate your help. Thanks Jim.

Quality changes after rendering/speeding up/slowing down a clip in FCP 6

I use mpegstreamclip to get my canon 7d footage into FCP. Everything looks fine until I render it.
I set my mpegstream clip settings to apple pro res, full quality, 1920x1080 (unscaled), 30 fps.
What am I doing wrong here?

I'll need more info to narrow down on the problem.
When you play it in the timeline, everything plays fine, right?
What format did you digitize? MiniDV?
What timecode is changing?
If you Export as quicktime movie, there is no timecode.
If your refering to the timecode in the browser, make sure your looking at the MEDIA START & END (Not the in & out)
When your refering different footage, are you speaking of a completely different shot from your footage? Or is the cut just off?
Check this setting:
Goto menu bar: SEQUENCE SETTING; click render control tab.
check on all boxes. set all to 100%. Codec=SAME AS SEQ
In the timeline, make sure all the tracks are on GREEN. (The bubble on the far end left)
Test some of the media files in iMovie or quicktime to see if they're corrupted in some way.
If there is no fix, you may need to re-install the app.

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.

After Effect blurry and fuzzy !

Hi plEASE help why my imported ai_illustrator file is blurry and fuzzy in after effects cs6 (retina display) Both render and ram preview are blurry!

Show us the appearance panel from one of your illustrator layers. Select one of the layers in AE and press the u key twice (uu) to reveal all properties of the layer that have been modified and any effects applied, check file interpretation by right clicking an Illustrator layer in the project panel and selecting Interpret Footage and select More Accurate from the other options panel. If the illustrator file is clean then your edges should be fine. If effects are applied in AI or layer styles are used then you must not scale the layers over about 120% or move the camera too close.
One other hint, when grabbing screenshots from a mac you can use Cmnd + Shift + 4 to marquis select an area of your screen so the images are not so big. I also resize mine from my MBproR because they are twice the size they need to be for the web. It's also probably not the best idea to give the world the serial number of your mac.

Blurry and shaking monitor on iBook G4.

I have an iBook G4 that is about 2.5 years old. Just today I started to have problems with my monitor. It's blurry in some spots, clear in others. (I can move a text file around on the screen and see the words go in and out of focus.) It also shakes, sometimes by as much as 10 or 15 pixels in any direction, about once every few seconds. I haven't dropped the laptop recently (or ever, to be honest) and I haven't done anything out of the ordinary that may have caused these problems. Does anyone have any clues or suggestions as to what might be going on?
If it helps to know: when the computer has just been turned on and is loading, everything is perfectly clear and normal. After the menu bar loads, the screen quickly becomes blurry and expands a bit (I know it "expands" because the dock is lower and closer to the periphery of the screen). The same thing happens when I shut down or restart my computer: it'll be blurry and shaking, but after all the applications close and it's ready to turn off I notice that my screen is clear and normally-sized again.
Thanks in advance for any help.
EDIT: Also, it might help to know that the shakiness doesn't seem to correspond to me moving my cursor or anything like that... and that the blurry spots are distributed throughout the screen and aren't just on the edges.

Hey Madam,
First try an external monitor and post back.
The first thing that comes to mind is the GPU and it's possible that a shim repair will fix it.

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.
