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

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 graphics after rendering

Hi- I'm importing still pics into FCP v5.1.4 at 300 dpi at size exported (took a still frame from captured video and used it as a template in photoshop). The graphic looks great but after rendered, it's of poor quality in canvas.
Sequence settings DV-NTSC 48KHz - Frame size 640 x 480 aspect: NTSC 4:3 > Quicktime Video Settings-Best Quality DV/DVCPRO - NTSC.
I changed the sequence settings to Animation at best quality which rendered better, not great, but took a long time with big files. I'm not sure if this is the way to go.
Should I match FCP video settings > Sequence Presets to Sequence Settings?- as I see no "Animation" in Sequence presets.
I just want to out put sharp good quality graphics and type- is there a recommended set up in FCP for efficient and best quality graphics and type?
humbly yours, j

Thanks for all your quick responses and good input. I forgot to mention that the stills are with video footage- should be "Interlaced" ?
I have come up with a pretty good solution using "Animation" setting. The following are my notes:
I changed the sequence settings to Animation at best quality which rendered better, not great, but took a long time with big files. I'm not sure if this is the way to go.
However when exporting using Quick Time Movie output is jagged and files were big: 60 to 117 MB.
Outputting to Quick Time Conversion was better using Animation compression at highest quality but file was too big. Changed that to medium and a reasonable 7.65 MB resulted with a reasonable quality when viewed from Quick Time.
Issues to contend with- will iDVD use this file and display quality? If that .mov file be of quality if put into a FCP timeline?
The DVD came out OK. I will play around with sized 72 dpi's for stills.
Thanks again! j

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.

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

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!

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/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mediainfo/
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.

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.

Premiere Degrading Quality (after rendering) of Animation Codec mov's and 4444 Codec mov's, which were made from SWF files, originally exported out of After Effects

I am making a cartoon, which was created in FLASH,
Then the SWF's were put into After Effects and exported out as MOV's. (I've tried both AppleProRes4444 and Animation codecs).
Then I put those Mov's into Premiere. Everything looks crisp until I render. Once rendering is done, the video quality degrades. Here's a screen shot of Premiere:
On the left is the source MOV (exported from AE), on the right is the timeline viewer (after rendering). The quality on the right is degraded. Help?
If I use MP4 versions, exported out of Flash, through Media encoder, quality is not degraded.
(Read on for additional info)
It was easy and quick to create my MOV's out of AE, which is why I did it this way. I'm exporting to MOV's so I can edit quicker in Premiere. I find editing to sound in AE really difficult, and I don't edit in Flash (employees provide SWF files to me).
Here is sequence settings in Premiere (these setting were created by dragging an MOV into the sequence and choosing "change settings" to match clip settings.
Help? Please?

Poor clip quality after applying slow motion or stabilization

I am making a movie. Every clip that I change to slow motion, or stabilize (or add both to), becomes blurry. I finalized it & put it on dvd to see if it still blurry on the tv, and it is. Anyone know how to fix these clips so I can get the original clip quality with the slow motion/stablilization?
Thank you in advance

I am using PPro CC 7.2.1 on Mac OS X 10.8.5. I'm working in software only renderer. Just by applying a Three-Way Color Corrector or a Video Limiter (just applied, without any modifications... didn't test other filters), the photo quality is degraded. The result is the same after exporting or rendering the sequence. Tested in DVCPRO-HD and ProRes interlaced sequences, same result.
Here is a photo without any filter applied to it (on the left) and with a video limiter (right) :
On another editing station with CUDA enabled, the problem isn't there. But not all our station are CUDA enabled, so I wish I could fix the problem.

I have a few wedding projects(1-2 hours)I am trying to export at full hd quality,than burn in idvd. After rendering for 8hrs I receive error code that states "file is too big". Please help? compressing tips without losing quality? or any other exporting alternatives?

Hey Z,
Thank you for the tip on exporting by media browser (large) from imovie. But of course, if it's not one thing it's another. Now that I figured how to export a large file from imovie, I have an idvd issue. I followed the instructions for burning from idvd and changing the encoding to professional quality and the burn speed to x4, but I am receiving an error that states the following,
Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the Project Info window.
Project:
- total project duration: 79:04 minutes
- total project capacity: 4.327 GB (max. available: 4.172 GB)
Menus:
- number of menus in project: 1 menus
- total menu duration: 0:39 minutes
- total menu capacity: 37.370 MB
Movies:
- total movies duration: 78:25 minutes
- total movies capacity: 4.291 GB
I have searched in the idvd forum for similar issues and I am stumped at this point. I have tried deleting the encoding assets and re launching idvd with the changed preferences, and still the same error. I know you mentioned something about free hard drive space available, and I have very little left. 4GB to be exact due to massive hours of non-edited footage. I am not sure if this is why, but I do not recall ever needing free space to burn memory onto a separate dvd. I would be more than happy if I am wrong, and it would be a quick fix. Otherwise, the technical nightmare continues. It's all a learning process and your expertise is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Horrible final video quality in After Effects CS6 when rendering a 1920x1080 video with H.264 format

I've been using After Effects CS6 on my Macbook Pro for over a year now with no issues. However, today when I exported a video to be rendered in 1920x1080p with H.264 format, I got the worst quality final video I've ever seen. I filmed my video files in 1920x1080p (like usual), and I clicked all the same buttons I normally do to export a video, but every HQ video I try to export looks horrible. I haven't clicked any crazy buttons or anything out of the ordinary.
I always export a video following this sequence:
File > Export > Add to Render Queue > Lossless > H.264 (quality format) > video output (make sure it's checked) > audio output (make sure it's checked) > OK > Output to Desktop
My render settings are always set as "best settings" including "full" resolution and "best" quality.
Now, when I click H.264, a "settings mismatch" pops up and says:
"Warning: Output file will be resized from 1920x1080 (1.00 PAR) to 320x1080 (6.00 PAR) to meet format constraints"
The rendering quality and playback quality within After Effects is great, but once the video is exported, it is horrible.
PLEASE HELP?! I have deadlines I need to meet!

Use the H.264 encoding presets in Adobe Media Encoder.
The H.264 export features in After Effects have been removed in later versions because of numerous problems.

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.
