Images in Premiere = blurry

Hey,
So I've made a video in premiere, I get to the finish line and then I get hung up by the credits. I made some images in Photoshop to create the credits/logo, but when I import those into premiere they are blurry. This isn't so noticible with a photograph, but images with text look awful because the text is fuzzy.
I've been googling and it's plain others have had this problem but I've yet to find a solution:

I'm having trouble importing a clear still image, i have converted image to correct 'Pixel Aspect Ratio' but still is blurry image. For some reason when i left click on image in 'Program: Sequence 01' it becomes clear! Any ideas? Thanks

I am having the same problem importing a clear still image, especially with Photoshop type. Created an image 720 x 534 pixels in Photoshop. Added type with Garamond typeface and sizes from 3.5 point to 6 point in size. In Photoshop I can't use larger type because of the small image size. Looks great in Photoshop, but when imported into Premire Pro CS3, the type is terrible. Oddly, if you select the image by left clicking on the image in the monitor like you are going to manually move or scale it, the image becomes perfectly clear.
Sounds exactly like what I'm going through. I've tried importing bmps or photoshop files directly, as well as resizing my images to match the video frame size. I've also tried just rendering to see if it looks ok in the video, but it doesn't look any better.
I know that people do this kind of thing all the time, so if there's something I'm missing any help would be incredibly appreciated! Thanks.
Tools: Adobe Photoshop CS3 & Adobe Premiere CS3

Anytime you work with an analog photograph and then digitize it the photo will become a little soft. If you use a digital photograph and then resize it in Photoshop and drop it into Premiere you will have this same problem of softening the image.
When I download a digital photograph into Photoshop and retouch it, I run it through a program called "NIK Sharpener Pro 2.0." I have used this program for several years and always use it before printing the photograph for a finished print. You can do the same thing with your photos by going to "filters" and then "sharpen", if it doesn't look sharp enough then do the same thing again. You can also sharpen your images in Premiere. In Premiere you can also sharpen your video if you find it a little out of focus or back forcused. Of course, it is best to shoot it sharp, but in a pinch it will help.

Importing images makes them blurry and jaggy

Yes I have seen other posts on this. They were helpful and I progressed, but imported images still aren't right. I'm sure there must be just one small thing I'm doing wrong. Please help!
I imported DV NTSC footage (720x480, 0.9091 PAR). I have screenshots from Powerpoint slides that I want to overlay.
In Premiere they are blurry and jaggy. As you can see the original footage is fine, but when it's dropped in a sequence it's bad:
The interpretation seems to be okay:
I've created it correctly in Photoshop.You can see below that the file is 720x480px and I have the DV PAR set:
My output is for computer screens so when I export from DV to H.264 I select Field Order: None. But I noticed that if I export with Field Order: Lower the screenshot/image looks good. However the rest of my DV footage looks interlaced, so I need Field Order set to none.
Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong? It shouldn't be this hard to get sharp looking images into Premiere!
Thanks.

Hi Colin,

Try this for preview in the Program Monitor:
Both my playback and paused resolutions are both full so that isn't the problem.
If it looked crappy in Premiere while building up the video I wouldn't care. It's the fact that it also looks like that in the exported that's the problem.
I'm sure it's some small thing I'm doing wrong like getting the framesize or PAR wrong, except that it's not those settings.
Any other ideas?

Blurred images in Premiere pro?

I'm using Premiere Pro CS6 and when I have imported images they go blurry when I play the video. Also I have made an intro in After effects and imported that and that also turns slightly blurry when it is imported into Premiere. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.

How can I create a stop animation video with single images in Premiere Pro?

Let me start off by saying I am 100% new to pretty much all Adobe software as of about 3 weeks ago. I have been doing a lot of googling these past few weeks. With that said, I will do my best to explain my question.
I am making a stop motion animated video. I am not using several photos to create the look, but rather single photoshopped images that I have deleted the backgrounds out of. Basically the video is single charms "crawling" or flying in individually from off screen into a circle, there is a story explaining what each charm means. I started in After Effects, but had issues with audio... am I right in my understanding that you cannot preview the audio unless you use the preview feature? So my solution was playing a guessing game, rendering/exporting, importing it to Premiere Pro, taking notes and then heading back to After Effects to try to re-do the timing. Obviously this was not working too well.
Then after doing more googling and clicking around I figured out you could layer images in Premier Pro and make them move just as you would in After Effects, which is great! There are two things hanging me up...
1. I used the wiggle effect in After Effects. For the life of me I cannot find or figure out an effect or preset similar to this in Premiere Pro. Is there such a thing? Or do I have to create rotation keyframes? (I think I'm using keyframes correctly).
2. Making the images stop-motiony and not smooth.
My question is... any suggestions on how to re-create the wiggle effect easily in Premiere Pro? Or is there away to create the effect in After Effects and then import the image into Premiere Pro and still be able to change the position and timing?
Please help! My deadline is tomorrow by the end of the work day!
Please forgive me if these are silly questions... go easy on me, I'm soo new! Thanks in advance!

Thanks so much for the reply!
I read that... but it doesn't preview the whole thing? It only previews a few seconds and then loops. I tried to figure out how to change the preview settings, but I can't seem to get it to work.

Please help me!--rendering makes the images or video blurry (very pixelated) deteriorates the image Adobe Premier Elements 13 need help! .jpg and mpeg images, but I have never "rendered" before since I got APE 13 about 6 weeks ago. I am desperate for assistance!

That's going to be a ridiculous waste of money and energy.
First of all, the current ATI drivers don't support multiple GPUs, so at the moment even a single 4870X2 would be only a 'normal' 4870 (which is quite a speed beast already). GFX drivers evolve rapidly, so things might look different next month, but when it comes to Linux and hardware there's one Golden Rule: stay away from the newest stuff and wait for proper support to get coded.
I also wonder what power supply could possibly cope with the differences between idle and full load; that's way beyond 400W. But then, I'm one of those "quiet&green" types where >100W idle is already a bit much.
I kind of understand that you want to get it done and not worry about hardware for the next 10 years or so, but that's simply not how the hardware world works and never did. At least not for the average consumer.

Reduce File Size causes images to be blurry

I created a document in Pages '09 that contains several masked images, resulting in a really large file size. I clicked Reduce File Size to get rid of the cropped parts of the images. Unfortunately, the images are now blurry. Any way to mask or crop a picture, or use Reduce File Size, without loss of image quality?

The images are being reduced to 72dpi with no sharpening that I can see and the excess image outside the masking shape doesn't seem to get trimmed. I suspect you then saved to a pdf with a lower quality setting which would have given a 2nd reduction in quality on top of the first.
So the best option is to take your images into Preview, crop them, reduce their resolution and sharpen them then bring them back into your Pages layout before exporting to pdf.

Maximum dimensions of still images in Premiere CC

Hi, anybody know what is the new maximum dimensions of still images in Premiere CC?
Is it still 256 megapixel (like CS5, CS5.5, and CS6)?
Thanks for the answers!
Bye!
Brianenno.

Yes still the same.
Do you want to import files that are larger then 32,768 pixels in e.g. either direction

How to burn to ISO image in Premiere Elements 12.1 under Windows 8.1 64bit?

I really struggle - is there no way to burn from PE12.1 to ISO image (under Win 8.1)?

Motajko
There is no way to take your Timeline content to an ISO Image in Premiere Elements 12/12.1 on Windows 8.1 64 bit with just Premiere Elements 12/12.1 by itself.
Premiere Elements 13 is the first to offer a Burn To: option of ISO Image for DVD, AVCHD, and Blu-ray. Which one of those choices are you seeking (or all of them)?
If you cannot make due with the Burn To: Folder for DVD and AVCHD, then you can get your ISO Image from 12/12.1 in the following round about way....
Let us do AVCHD ISO Image as the example...
1. Burn your Premiere Elements 12/12.1 Timeline using Publish+Share/Disc/AVCHD, Burn To: = Folder (4.7 GB).
2. Take the BDMV Folder from the saved folder into the free ImgBurn program and export is as a ISO file.using the category named
Create Image File from Files/Folder.
3. When you need the disc product, you can take that ISO file to disc in ImgBurn using the category named Write Image File To Disc.
For more information on ISO Image and Premiere Elements, please review the following link's content
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Disc Image/Phantom Burner & PE
After you review and consider the above, we can discuss the matter further if needed.
Thank you.

Downloading and installing the free ImgBurn needs caution since it is known to travel with unwanted carry alongs.

Blurry / Pixelated R3D images in Premiere CC 2014

FYI, for anyone else (like me) who has experienced pixelation / blurry images when viewing certain R3D files on the timeline or in the source window in Premiere CC 2014: this issue can be solved by right clicking on the problem clip(s) in the timeline or in the project files panel, selecting "Source Settings," and clicking "Save to RMD." You'll see the image become fully sharp again immediately.
This blurriness happens even when the still and playback resolution settings are set to "Full" in the program and source windows, and it isn't fixed by adjusting sequence settings. It was still visible even after exporting to Quicktime files, which created a huge headache for us as we tried to figure out what we were doing wrong in our sequence or export settings. Turns out both of them were fine, it was just this "Save to RMD" glitch.
An Adobe staff member replied and said they will fix this in around a month: Red footage pixelated on Import into AE.

Update: Unfortunately it's not all good news.
Trying to render out to H.264 wiht Mercury CUDA still gives a crash rendering with the typically uninformative 'Unknown Error'. Software rendering does not, but it's very slow.
Miraizon Codec and the Premiere native Cineform also crash with 'unknown error'. However I can render out using Cineform Mov at 12bit using my registered copy of Cineform. Not fast, about 1/8 real time.

Using iPhoto 08 editor causes image to be blurry.

When using iPhoto 08 to edit images, the photo and thumbnail become blurry but when the images is dragged onto the desktop and is viewed with Preview the image is clear but with out the modifications made during the edit in iPhoto. Any suggestions?

Someone posted a great answer to this dilemma that so many of us are having with iPhoto. I don't want to steal credit for the solution, so I'm providing a link to his solution which appears in another thread on this forum:

I have an aluminum MacBook with Lion OS. I have hooked up a Samsung external HD monitor, but the image is slightly blurry.I also see a message for a second which says Analog.What to do??

I have an aluminium MacBook and have just connected an external Samsung HD monitor. The image is blurry and I cannot seem to fix it.
The MacBook display is 1280x800 but the maximum for the external monitor is much higher. Also the external monitor sometimes displays a (rapid) message implying that it's getting an Analog signal.
How can I fix this??

FWIW, reformatting a USB disk is almost never an issue, and it's quick.
Buy a cheap external USB disk (regardless of the provided Windows or OS X or other disk format) (that's larger than your internal disk by some measure) and preferably buy a disk from a vendor that offers the right to return the disk if it doesn't work, connect the disk to your MacBook, wipe the disk and reformat it with Disk Utility, perform the backup (probably also using Disk Utility from the Utilities menu, while your MacBook is booted from the installation DVD), and then commence with the OS X upgrade.

Two Different Imported TIFFs Show The Same Image in Premiere Pro

I noticed sometime ago that some imported TIFFs with alpha channel are not showing the correct image. Recently I upgraded to Premiere Pro CC (for PC) to see if such issue was solved, however it is not.
Basically just importing the TIFFs into the project panel results in Premiere showing the same text even though the actual TIFF files contain different text. This is quite bizarre. No other software (including FinalCut Pro) displays such odd behavior.
I have uploaded the two TIFFs that replicate this issue consinstently here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B2IT1EAcyLlBZXRlMDkxNzY3d1U&usp=sharing
To replicate, just create an new empty project and import these two TIFF files. You will notice that both show the same text within Premiere while outside they indeed show the different data.
Anybody has any clues on why this is happening and on how to solve it?
Thanks in advance for any help and clues.
Valerio

Thanks for your reply.
At this moment we can't export PNGs with an Alpha channel so we are stuck with TIFFs.
It is a bizarre issue though.
Here is a Dropbox link for the images, seems Google Drive download links are buried deep:

Importing images makes them blurry and jaggy (CS4)

Hello - I've just upgraded to Premiere CS4 but am having the same problem. When I import DV video from my camera, it is blurred and shows interlace problems. I'm curious as to why this would be; I never had these sort of problems on Premiere 2.0. I've set the project up as a DV project, and have tried projects with both upper or lower interlace settings. One thing I noticed is that the native pixel size for DV is slightly different on CS4 than on Prem 2.0; it is 1.067 on Prem 2.0 and something like 1.09 on CS4. I've tried everything I can think of and can't fix the problem.

Just judging the quality from experience of working on premiere with uncompressed files. I changed the settings on the viewer to highest quality, which has made the images sharper, so it's possibly just those settings on the viewer. But the interlacing is still extremely visible on my capture window, much more than I think it ever was on 2.0. I also feel like the image is a little skippy sometimes in its movement. I just took a huge amount of files off my computer, so the computer is running clean and fast. When I export the files to VLC, the interlacing is also noticeable. I feel like it's a simple problem with the import settings, or with the settings when I set up a project. But I've checked that it's PAL, I've tried both upper and lower-field interlacing, etc. I'm doing things the same way I did with 2.0, so I'm confused why there is an interlace problem.
thanks
How are you judging the quality?
