Livetype Title Render Quality

I currently am trying to render some livetype titles in FCE, and for some reason, the fonts look a bit blurred and interlaced in the canvas preview window.
I did print to video and took it over to a television and the titles looked fine, however here's my question: What if I am using FCE to create a video for the web? On all the computers I have checked this video, the titles do not look "professional." Is there any way that I can remedy this?

Tom (and Nick),
Thanks to this thread I've had one of those "A ha!" moments when everything falls into place (I hope).
I've wondered why there are frequently posts regarding "Livetype Quality", etc, yet others don't have these problems?
Often the user is referring to the quality of the display in the Canvas in FCE/FCP. Responses are often along the lines of "The Canvas and computer monitor are not capable of displaying the same quality as a TV Monitor can, etc and you should always check output on a TV Monitor", etc.
This makes sense since a TV Monitor is interlaced and (I think) the canvas drops a field in it's display (at least when not set to 100%)
However, I don't think that's the real problem some of these people are having. As Tom mentioned, it's all down to the codec.
I bet these users are working in the DV codec which unfortuntely just can't do what Livetype is capable of in the Animation codec.
Unfortuantely, those replying are probably pros and are working in better codecs than DV, such as uncompressed 8-bit, etc and therefore the degradation isn't as great for them. They aren't having the issue due to this.
I think perhaps someone should make a sticky of this codec limitation, since issues with Livetype/Motion Quality come up all the time and I bet a lot of the time it's nothing to do with the user mis-interpreting what the Canvas displays over a TV monitor, but to do with the user working with DV.
Add to that sticky this excellent post by Kevin Monahan over at Kenstone's site:

===============QUOTE=========================
Are you monitoring your graphics properly as you work on a decent pro video monitor?
Have you checked the dark green "FULL" bar in the Sequence>Render menus before rendering?
Have you enabled the RT Pop up menu to "Safe RT" and Full Quality?
Is your Motion Filtering Quality set to "Best" in your User Prefs>Render Control?
Is your Render Quality set to 100%?
Are your graphics placed on whole, even X, Y integers?
Are you placing the Wireframes in different positions rather than moving the point controls in the Controls Tab?
Are you using the poorer quality "legacy" FCP title generators? (You should be using Title 3D instead).
Do you know how to properly prepare graphics in Photoshop?

Bit Depth and Render Quality

When you finally export media to some sort of media format via the encoder does the projects preview Bit Depth and Render Quality settings affect the output file?
I know there is "Use Preview files" setting in the media exporter dialogue but I just want to be sure of what I am doing.

Jeff's response is my perspective, as well, which is both backed up by my own tests and the official Adobe word.
Exhibit A: My Tests
That is DV footage with a title superimposed over it in a DV sequence, with a Gaussian blur effect (the Premiere accelerated one) applied to the title; all samples are from that sequence exported back to DV. This was to show the relative differences of processing between software and hardware MPE, Premiere export and AME queueing, and the effect of the Maximum Bit Depth and Maximum Render Quality options on export (not the sequence settings; those have no bearing on export).
The "blooming" evident in the GPU exports is due to hardware MPE's linear color processing. I think it's ugly, but that's not the point here. Further down the line, you can see the effect of Maximum Bit Depth (and MRQ) on both software MPE and hardware MPE. I assume you can see the difference between the Maximum Bit Depth-enabled export and the one without. Bear in mind that this is 8-bit DV footage composited and "effected" and exported back to 8-bit DV. I don't understand what your "padding with zeroes" and larger file size argument is motivated by--my source files and destination files are the same size due to the DV codec--but it's plainly clear that Maximum Bit Depth has a significant impact on output quality. Similar results would likely be evident if I used any of the other 32-bit enabled effects; many of the color correction filters are 32-bit, and should exhibit less banding, even on something 8-bit like DV.
Exhibit B: The Adobe Word
This is extracted from Karl Soule's blog post, Understanding Color Processing: 8-bit, 10-bit, 32-bit, and more. This section comes from Adobe engineer Steve Hoeg:
1. A DV file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DV without the max bit depth flag. We
will import the 8-bit DV file, apply the blur to get an 8-bit frame,
apply the color corrector to the 8-bit frame to get another 8-bit frame,
then write DV at 8-bit.
2. A DV file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DV with the max bit depth flag. We
will import the 8-bit DV file, apply the blur to get an 32-bit frame,
apply the color corrector to the 32-bit frame to get another 32-bit
frame, then write DV at 8-bit. The color corrector working on the 32-bit
blurred frame will be higher quality then the previous example.
3. A DV file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DPX with the max bit depth flag. We
will import the 8-bit DV file, apply the blur to get an 32-bit frame,
apply the color corrector to the 32-bit frame to get another 32-bit
frame, then write DPX at 10-bit. This will be still higher quality
because the final output format supports greater precision.
4. A DPX file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DPX without the max bit depth flag.
We will clamp 10-bit DPX file to 8-bits, apply the blur to get an 8-bit
frame, apply the color corrector to the 8-bit frame to get another
8-bit frame, then write 10-bit DPX from 8-bit data.
5. A DPX file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DPX with the max bit depth flag.
We will import the 10-bit DPX file, apply the blur to get an 32-bit
frame, apply the color corrector to the 32-bit frame to get another
32-bit frame, then write DPX at 10-bit. This will retain full precision through the whole pipeline.
6. A title with a gradient and a blur on a 8-bit monitor. This will display in 8-bit, may show banding.
7. A title with a gradient and a blur on a 10-bit monitor
(with hardware acceleration enabled.) This will render the blur in
32-bit, then display at 10-bit. The gradient should be smooth.
Bullet #2 is pretty much what my tests reveal.
I think the Premiere Pro Help Docs get this wrong, however:
High-bit-depth effects
Premiere Pro includes some video effects and transitions
that support high-bit-depth processing. When applied to high-bit-depth
assets, such as v210-format video and 16-bit-per-channel (bpc) Photoshop
files, these effects can be rendered with 32bpc pixels. The result
is better color resolution and smoother color gradients with these
assets than would be possible with the earlier standard 8 bit per
channel pixels. A 32-bpc badge appears
to the right of the effect name in the Effects panel for each high-bit-depth
effect.
I added the emphasis; it should be obvious after my tests and the quote from Steve Hoeg that this is clearly not the case. These 32-bit effects can be added to 8-bit assets, and if the Maximum Bit Depth flag is checked on export, those 32-bit effects are processed as 32-bit, regardless of the destination format of the export. Rendering and export/compression are two different processes altogether, and that's why using the Maximum Bit Depth option has far more impact than "padding with zeroes." You've made this claim repeatedly, and I believe it to be false.
Your witness...

Premiere Elements 11 - poor render quality?

I was reading a review of Premiere Elements 11, and it was noted that PE11 had limited render options which can result in poor quality output files:
"Rendering quality is limited to the original format, which is usually consumer-grade and heavily compressed, so adding an effect can degrade the video quality in the final rendered version when viewed at full size, especially in fast-moving scenes. Changing the preferences to slower/better quality helps, but does not eliminate this problem."
http://www.techhive.com/article/2010628/review-adobe-premiere-elements-11-offers-an-easy-f ast-and-simple-take-on-video-editing.html
Does anyone have any feedback on this? Are the rendering options limited?
I am currently downloading the trial to test it. I tried using the "Adobe Download Assistant" but the download speed was poor, so I had to switch to a scene release on a filehosting site instead (good one Adobe).
thanks

Another season, another review, and again far from the facts. This is only slightly better than the outright dubious ones by some weirdos in the previous releases!!
I have just downloaded the trial version and have done "rendering" and "export" and so I have no clue what he is talking about!! I tried an AVCHD clip and changed the opacity so that it requires rendering. I also added Guassian Blur to get it to need render (It used to be a Red line till PrE10, it is Yellowish now..). What I noticed was that the rendering happened very quickly and the rendered file was 1/2 the height and 1/2 the width. I find that verrrrry convenient, because when someone does rendering, it is because they want to have a quick look at how the composition looks like with their effects, titles, transitions, PiPs etc. It is done only to get an idea of what it looks like and is in no way related to how the exported output will look like. To get a preview of that this quickly is a good feature. Then I noticed an option in the preferences where they have given the option to change the render quality and hence speed back to the Full Quality - Slower Speed. but you know what? I don't think the reviewer is even looking at this.
What he means is the exported output. The ones under Publish/Share tab in PrE11. In my tests I find that the render quality has no impact on the exported quality. I exported it to a AVCHD-1920x1080-30p preset and I found it to be just as good as it was in PrE10. Same file size and same bit rate, just to confirm. "Rendering is limited to the original format.." What does he mean? If he meant export, I can again confidently say that you can export the same AVCHD file to NTSC DV Standard, WMV (WMV9), QuickTime (MOV wrapper) and multiple other formats. The export presets can be chosen immaterial of the input videos/timeline. If he means rendering (The one where you hit "Enter" on the timeline), the format is and has been "All-I-Frame-MPEG2" - that is Fixed.
I can assure you that the quality of finished output has and will depend on the combination of choice of the file (it's properties), the project setting (that is automatic - again!), the export preset resolution and frame rate (choose this as close as the original for best results) and the bit rate (higher is better - mostly). And this is no different from PrE10, 9, 8, 7, ..... The very fact that PrE has been giving the user options and control and at the same time makes it easy for novices over the years, is good enough reason for me to continuously go for it.

"Maximum Render Quality" Better to turn it OFF when using CUDA MPE?

http://crookedpathfilms.com/blog/201...port-settings/
"IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT RENDERING TIME: Make sure you do not select “Use Maximum Render Quality” if you are utilizing the accelerated GPU graphics (Mercury Playback Engine). This will not improve your video and will only slow down the rendering speed by as much as 4 times!"
http://blogs.adobe.com/premiereprotr...e-pro-cs5.html
"For export, scaling with CUDA is always at maximum quality, regardless of quality settings. (This only applies to scaling done on the GPU.) Maximum Render Quality can still make a difference with CUDA-accelerated exports for any parts of the render that are processed on the CPU...
When rendering is done on the CPU with Maximum Render Quality enabled, processing is done in a linear color space (i.e., gamma = 1.0) at 32 bits per channel (bpc), which results in more realistic results, finer gradations in color, and better results for midtones. CUDA-accelerated processing is always performed in a 32-bpc linear color space. To have results match between CPU rendering and GPU rendering, enable Maximum Render Quality."
Here is what I got out of after reading those two sites:
I should turn it off for it's always ON (when CUDA MPE is used) regardless I check or uncheck it.Turning it ON only offloads the calculation to CPU (instead of GPU) hence slowing down the previewing and encoding performance.
So I guess I should have Maximum Render Quality setting turned OFF in both of squence settings and export settings.
However, David Knarr of Studio 1 Productions suggest otherwise:
http://www.studio1productions.com/Articles/PremiereCS5.htm
"When you startup Adobe Premiere CS5 and you don't have a certified video card (or one that is unlocked) the Mercury Playback Engine is in software rendering mode and by default the Maximum Render Quality mode (or MRQ) is to OFF.
(Maximum Render Quality mode will maximize the quality of motion in rendered clips and sequences. So when you select this option, the video will often render moving objects more sharply. Maximum Render Quality also maintains sharp detail when scaling from large formats to smaller formats, or from high-definition to standard-definition formats. For the highest quality exports you should always use the Maximum Render Quality mode.)
When you unlock Adobe Premiere CS5 so the Mercury Playback Engine can use almost any newer NVidia card (or if you are using a "certified" NVidia graphics card), the Mercury Playback Engine will be in the hardware rendering mode and the Maximum Render Quality mode will be turned ON.
Since the software mode is not set to maximum render quality, it can sometime render faster than the hardware render, but a a loss in qualitly. If you set the software to maximum render quality you will see that it is very, very slow compared to the hardware render.
Here is how to set the Maximum Render Quality.
1) Open up Premiere CS5
2) Click on Sequence at the top of the screen
3) Then select Sequence Settings
4) At the bottom of the window select Maximum Render Quality and click Okay
It is always best to be using the Maximum Render Quality mode,"
Now, I'm lost.

Okay, I am loosing it..... You are correct.
I am not sure what I was remembering, I could have sworn that when I loaded Premiere CS5 for the first time before I unlocked the video card, the Maximum Render Quality mode was NOT checked. Then when I unlocked the video card, the Maximum Render Quality mode was check to ON and I didn't set it to be On.
I just when back and uninstalled Premiere and re-installed it, to see what was going on and I was totally wrong.
Sorry for the mistake and I will be updating the article on my website in the next 15 min.
Also, I have written a small program to do the unlock automatically. The program is free and it works with the cards listed under the Automatic Mode.
If your video card isn't listen, just let me know what your card is and what you typed into the cuda cards file and I will add it to the program.

Why is the render quality less than the source files

I am setting render quality at Best, Full 1920 x 1080. The movie quality in either a quick time or windows media player file is terrible. These same files export at good quality at school with the same settings. Why am I getting poor image quality on my PC at home?

The first image is a screen shot of the original footage taken in AE. The second image is the exported qucktime. The quick time is at half size and the AE is 50%. The source files are a qucktime output of a frame by frame animation I created in AE. I have tried rendering both interlaced and progressive. My instructor had me drop the source files onto the "Create a new composition" icon at the bottom of the project window so AE would interpret the sourcefiles correctly to be exported back to Final Cut Pro. The format options are set to no compression. I don't know how to tell what codec I am rendering to.
My instructor isn't any help since I am working on a PC. He only knows Mac.

Maximum Bit Depth /Maximum Render Quality Questions

Maximum Bit Depth
If my project contains high-bit-depth assets generated by high-definition camcorders, I was told to select Maximum Bit Depth because Adobe Premiere Pro uses all the color information in these assets when processing effects or generating preview files. I'm capturing HDV using the Matrox RTX-2 Hardware in Matrox AVI format.
When I finally export my project using Adobe Media Encoder CS4, will selecting Maximum Bit Depth provide better color resolution once I post to Blu-ray format?
Maximum Render Quality
I was told that by using Maximum Render Quality, I maintain sharp detail when scaling from large formats to smaller formats, or from high-definition to standard-definition formats as well as maximizes the quality of motion in rendered clips and sequences. It also renders moving assets more sharply. It's my understanding that at maximum quality, rendering takes more time, and uses more RAM than at the default normal quality. I'm running Vista 64 Bit with 8 GIGs of RAM so I'm hoping to take advantage of this feature.
Will this also help to improve better resolution when I finally export my project using Adobe Media Encoder CS4 and post to Blu-ray format?
Does it look like I have the specs to handle Maximum Bit Depth and Maximum Render Quality when creating a new HDV project with the support of the Matrox RTX 2 Hardware capturing in Matrox AVI format? See Below Specs.

Just some details that i find useful on maximum render depth
You really need it even with 8bit source files, when using heavy grading/multiple curves/vignettes. If after grading you see banding, go to sequence > sequence settings from the top menu and check "maximum bit depth (ignore the performance popup), then check again your preview (it will change in a second) to see if banding is still present in 32bit mode. If no banding, you must check it when exporting, if banding is still there, change your grading, then uncheck it to continue with editing.
Unfortunately Maximum bit depth exporting is extremely time-consuming, but can really SAVE YOUR DAY when facing artifacts after heavy grading, by completely or almost completely eliminating banding and other unwanted color distortions.
Use it only for either small previews or the really final output.
Best Regards.

Maximum Render Quality not installed

I am using Premiere Pro CS4 and did not see the Use Maximum Render Quality when exporting a video, my only choices are "Use Preview Files", "Include Source XMP MetaData", and "File Info".
I found one post that said it was in a update so I checked my verison and it said 4.0.0. I then checked for updated from the Help menu and ran that. version did not change and still no Max Render Quality so I found the download for PP CS4 4.2.1 and downloaded and unsipped it.
When I ran the EXE file it started but then stopped and said "Cannot Install click the Quite button". In the text of the window is said everything for 4.2.1 was installed except the language packs. Verson number is still 4.0.0.
What else can I try?
Thanks.

Thank you Ann
on the reinstall and updates, does the last update (4.2.1) for Premiere Pro CS4 have all the updated combined or do I need to run them one at a time?
also does the Encore update (4.0.1) run or included with the Premiere updates?
I will do this starting monday, i hope to have this 2,000 ft project done tonight so I can deliver it tomorrow but will keep my data and rerun it after the update if Max Render shows up
Thanks again

Maximum Render Quality no longer shown.......

I'm using CS4.
I have had great success with Steve Bellune's suggested settings for exporting media and encoding HDV 1080 60i projects for DVD burning.
Now, all of a sudden, for some crazy reason all I have on the small drop down menue are the following choices:
    Use Preview files
    Include Source XMP Metadata
    File Info.....
There is NO Maximum Render Quality choice like I have had in the past.
Might be my imagination, but I seem to see many, many more Jaggies on the DVDs.....
As far as I know, nothing else has changed.

Maximum Render Quality CS5.5

My project is about 1hr 15 mins long, covering 8 sequences.
3 days ago, I encoded using the MPG2-DVD preset and burnt a trial disk with an Encore project.
After reviewing the disk, I made a few trivial changes to the PP project and encoded again.
Exactly the same encode settings except I checked Maximum Render Quality.
This time, it took FIVE TIMES longer to encode, and I cannot see any difference in disk quality.
What does checking Max Render Quality do?
Would you expect it to take 5x?
And would you expect a better quality disk?
Thanks

Jim,
Bill and I are testing this extensively for the new PPBM6 test and on our current time-line, which is an AVCHD 1080i-29.97 source with numerous effects, fast color corrector, brightnes & contrast, gamma correction, gaussian blur and 3-way color corrector and speed slowed down by 50%, for a total duration of 2;39;04 exporting to MPEG2-DVD with a preset of NTSC 23.976 Widescreen High Quality I have just tested again the export times and it gave me the following results:
System
Hardware MPE On,
MRQ Off
Hardware MPE On,
MRQ On
Software MPE,
MRQ On
i7-3930K,
GTX 680
24 s

NA
33 s
870 s
i7-980X,
GTX 680
NA
30 s
556 s
Now this test is taxing on the GPU, because there is frame blending, scaling and blurring going on during export, but I can not see any difference with or without MRQ with hardware MPE turned on. I ran several runs and they are consistently between 23 and 24 seconds on this test. Several things of interest here, the advantage the 6-cores have over a 4-core when using software mode only, and the difference between MRQ settings in software mode MPE.
PS. You may be testing this with AME instead of Direct Export. AME is seriously handicapped in CS6 and that may be the cause of your strange results. How does it look with your same test when you use Direct Export, because exporting a 1 minute clip without effects taking 1 minute contrasts seriously with my export of 24 seconds for a clip 2.5 times longer and filled with effects. You know that both Bill and I have rather tuned systems and when our software MPE exports take this long (436 - 870 seconds) there is something going on here I would like to know more about.

Sequence Processing Render Quality: BEST

What exactly does putting sequence processing render quality into BEST accomplish, other than to make it take longer to render things?
Does it actually result in a cleaner picture? If so, why wouldn't you ALWAYS render in BEST quality instead of GOOD?
I just finished a project where I was working with some MOTION templates I picked up from Finalcutprotemlates.com. I was working in an XDCAM EX 1080i/60 timeline with same footage.
All looked good when editing on my macbookpro on the computer screen, but when
transferring the end product to an XDCAM disc, then watching the final product on that XDCAM disc playing in an XDCAM deck onto an HD NTSC monitor, I saw some artifacting during some of the template play. I know you're not supposed to edit without an NTSC monitor hooked up, but with a macbookpro, I can't hook up directly to an HD NTSC monitor. I have to lay off to an XDCAM disc first, which is a long process to check effects.
Anyway, I rendered this sequence in GOOD quality and am wondering if BEST quality will eliminate the problems.

I know you're not supposed to edit without an NTSC monitor hooked up, but with a macbookpro, I can't hook up directly to an HD NTSC monitor.
Can to. Just like a tower, you need a capture device. And there are a few that work with a MacBook Pro. ASSUMING you have the Express34 slot, and not the new MBP with the SD Card slot.
Matrox MXO2, MXO2 LE, MXO2 Mini -- AJA IO HD, IOHD Express.
I've never switched the quality in the RENDER CONTROL. Always left it on NORMAL. Never had a problem. I guess I should see what difference it makes.

Max render quality?

When encoding for DVD (or any other format) what difference does it make to the final quality, when in Trancode Settings, "Use Maximum Render Quality" is checked?

Hi Steve,
"Max Render" affects the quality of downscaling and motion, and should not affect color at all.
As for Sequence Settings, the MRQ there would be for rendering Previews in the timeline, which you should not use in the final export so I would not use MRQ there as that would only increase render times for previews. As for Encore, I always encode from Premiere using the MPEG-2 DVD preset in AME so that my assets are already compliant for Encore and therefore Encore render settings have no bearing since it is not encoding the video at all. I leave all Encore settings at default.
Thanks

Turning on Render at Maximum Bit Depth and Maximum Render Quality crashes render every time

I've tried a few times to render an H264 version of my Red media project with Maximum Bit Depth and Maximum Render Quality. Premiere crashes every time. I have GPUs enabled. Are people using these settings with Red media and successfully rendering?

To answer your specific question did you see the tooltip?
I beleive it allows for 32-bit processing (16-bit if unchecked). Per the project settings help file at http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/using/project-settings-presets.html
Maximum Bit Depth
Allows Premiere Elements to use up to 32‑bit processing, even if the project uses a lower bit depth. Selecting this option increases precision but decreases performance.
The help file for export is somewhat less informative about what it actually does but does point out that it is the color bit depth - http://helpx.adobe.com/media-encoder/using/encode-export-video-audio.html
(Optional) Select Use Maximum Render Quality or Render At Maximum Bit Depth. Note: Rendering at a higher color bit depth requires more RAM and slows rendering substantially.
In practice the simplest suggestion is to export twice - once with / once without the setting and compare the time taken and perceived quality.
Cheers,
Neale

YouTube Video: Do you recommend use maximum render quality?

YouTube Video: Do you recommend use maximum render quality?
Is it worth the wait?
Do you use it for YouTube videos?
How much longer does it take to render / export?
Twice as long or ?
Just looking for a general comparison in time based on with and without.
I know it depends on variables.
I'm already in the process at 21%. (15 mins.)
Just curious for the future.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can use the "Maximum Render Quality" whenever you are scaling down the resolution from larger frame size to smaller frame size while exporting.
It requires more RAM during export & should be used whenever maximum quality output is required. However the export process may be slower than the normal export.
Thanks.

When do I need maximum render quality?

Help me to understand it right.
There is "maximum bit depth" and "maximum render quality".
I only use maximum render quality if I downscale a project from hd to sd to get a better downscale?!
I use maximum bit depth if I want to render effects in 10 Bit quality.
I usually cut with XDCAM Files outputting it to disc - with this 8 Bit Files there is no require to render with maximum bit depth isn't it?
Because when I output to XDCAM-Disc all files must be coded to 8 bit xdcam-mxf again right?

with this 8 Bit Files there is no require to render with maximum bit depth isn't it?
See this The Video Road blogpost on Understanding Color Processing. At the end of the article Steve Hoeg presents detailed explanation how the 'Maximum Bit Depth' flag works.
See also this discussion on 'Maximum Render Quality'.
Additional I don't unterstand right now, why Premiere is rendering my 50MBit Xdcam Files with 25 Mbits MPEG files.Is this only preview quality?
If you're talking about preview files, then yes, unless you tick 'Use Previews' checkbox in the Export Settings dialog. By default PrPro utilises MPEG2 for rendering previews. You can change that while you're creating new sequence: in the New Settings dialog click Settings tab, choose 'Custom' from the Editing Mode drop down list, then you will be able to set Preview File Format and Codec in the Video Previews section. Now the question is whether you really want it? Rendering to a production codec will take longer, whereas rendering previews happens more often (if ever) than rendering final output...
Tento wrote:
No it's not necessary. Unless you want to make a color grading in 10bit, but that would be with a lossless codec like DNxHD.
No, that's a delusion. See this The Video Road blogpost on Understanding Color Processing I mentioned earlier in my comment.

Nested Sequence and Maximum Render Quality

I use quite often nested sequences and sometimes within nested sequences. Do I have to check the flag Maximimum Render Quality in each sequence setting or is it enough to have it marked in the root/top sequence? I guess, I have to. Is this correct?
regards,
Claus

For exports the checkbox in the export settings dialog overrides all others. For preview rendering make sure to check it on the top sequence in which you are rendering previews.
