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,

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

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!

Issues with video quality after editing in Premiere Elements. Please help!!!

I am having issues with the quality of video output from Premiere Elements. I tried to combine 4 videos clips that I took (all were crystal clear when viewed prior to combining them in Premiere Elements). The first clip is quite pixelated, the second has wavy lines running across it the whole time (recorded webinar), and the third clip looks crystal clear. (FYI...first clip and third clip were both taken using the exact same settings on my Canon) I am not very tech "savvy". I am guessing it has something to do with the way I saved or "shared" the video after editing? But I have NO IDEA what settings I need as I am not very "tech" savvy! I want to upload the finished product to Vimeo. I looked on Vimeo and followed instructions from a tutorial that a Premiere Elements user posted about how to save the best quality video for uploading to Vimeo, and the quality turned out FAR WORSE than the first time I saved it. Please help!!! Thanks so much!

Thanks for your response John! Do you think my issue may be due to the way I initially "set up" the project when I created a new project from the very beginning? I am operating on Premiere Elements 10, so I do not see an option for sharing online directly to vimeo....only facebook and Youtube. I am combining 4 video clips. 3 of the 4 clips were shot on my Canon EOS 60D, and 1 of the video clips was a recording of a PowerPoint based webinar that we did via Meeting Burner (meetingburner.com). Since I am combining more than 1 video format, is it likely that I will run into quality issues? The strange thing was that 2 of the clips shot with my Canon showed up blurry after exporting/sharing my final video, but one of them was still crystal clear. This doesn't make any sense to me since I did not change any settings on my Canon. I didn't see any specific tutorials on setting up the project to match the video from that list of Tutorial links.

Why am i getting poor quality photo prints after installing lion using canon pixma 6120?

After installing Lion, I began experiencing poor quality photo prints on my Canon Pixma 6120 printer. Prior to Lion, my picture prints were all high quality. Now, anything black in the picture is faded.

Lion should not cause the blacks to print faded. The printer drivers used by Snow Leopard and Leopard are the same version as that used by Lion.
For starters I suggest you check that you have the latest version installed. This Apple KB article shows the MG6100 series has v10.51.2.0 as the latest version.
I also recommend you do a Nozzle test print. This can be executed from the MG6120 control panel or via the Printer Utilties window (via Print & Scan, select the printer and then open Options & Supplies and then select the Utilties tab).
If the nozzle test print is okay but the blacks still look faded when printing photos (note the printer has two black ink tanks - one for photos and one for text) then try a reset of the printing system. This will remove the MG6120 from the Print & Scan pane but not the supporting drivers. So you will only have to add the printer again.

Poor quality Photo printing with the HP Officejet 6600

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!
Pina

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

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.

IPhone 5 flash on camera stopped working when taking photos & poor quality photos

iPhone 5 camera flash stopped working when taking photos and poor Quality photos . Flash still works when in torch mode .

Hey there Jimbo,
It sounds like your flash has stopped working on your phone and you noticed a decrease in image quality.
I recommend a few troubleshooting steps here. Start with closing the running apps on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone and test it again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

When I insert photos into Premiere Elements timeline they become pixilated. Has anyone a remedy?

The photos I insert into the timeline in Elements become pixilated. They looked fine in the organiser. Has anyone a remedy to this problem please?

Judie Sutton
Thanks for the additional information.
If rendering the Timeline content of those photos does not resolve the photo pixelation issue as per SG's question, then please read on.
a. Do you have a mixed Timeline of photos and video? If so, what is the format of the video and how many of these
2799 x 3500 photos are included? Do you get photo pixelation whether you have 1 or many of these photos on the Timeline?
b. What happens to the Edit area monitor view of one of these photos if you right click the Edit area monitor, select Playback Quality, and then compare the choices of Automatic vs Highest Quality? If you right click the Edit area monitor and select Magnification, do you find the Magnification set at the default "Fit"?
c. Have the photos been edited in Photoshop before being imported in Premiere Elements. If so, what was the extent of the Photoshop editing including effects applied and color profile?
More later depending on your results and follow up.
Thanks.

If this is an all photos project, I would suggest the project preset of the following in your case
PAL

Poor quality encoding on OSX & Windows - Premiere Pro CC & Media Encoder CC

I run two computers, a Mac Pro and a Qosmio running Windows 8. I was experiencing rendering issues on my Windows 8 machine, using the same presets and settings I always have. Later installed CS6 using my old serial and render quality was fine.
Downloaded CC on my mac and sure enough I get the issue with both of my installed versions of CC and not with CS6. I recorded a simple video in quicktime to demonstrate my issue.
On the left is CC, right CS6. As you can see, my settings are identical. These were rendered in Encoder, but Premiere produces the same results.
These are the final videos opened directly after rendering. Top is my encoded file through CC and the bottom is my encoded file from CS6.
Any ideas? I keep going to support for this issue and either mysteriously lose my connection and am never recontacted or simply ignored and have them render a video and say "I don't see any problem with this" even though I'm seeing the same discrepencies I'm showing above.
Also, it does this for all recorded videos. I made the mistake of using a video recorded in Captivate for a support call once and was shrugged off as it being a captivate error. It does this for all videos, regardless of their source.

Hi victoriavanpatten,
Sorry you're having trouble.
The first thing I noticed is that your source file is 60fps and the preset you are using is for 24fps. You might want to use a custom setting that matches your source sequence. I could not locate any presets for 60fps video. You have to create one.
You can also try 1 pass VBR instead of 2 pass VBR in Bitrate Settings. I have heard a few complaints about 2 pass VBR encoding.
Let us know if these possible solutions help you.
Thanks,
Kevin

Problems w/ buring DVD of photo slide show & best Premiere Elements 8 upgrade recommendation please.

I created a video slide show in Adobe Photoshop & Premiere elements 8, kept getting messages: "disk space low, exceeded recommended #of slides and/or recommended 30 minute duration". So what, I want a 90 minutes slide slow?(!) It allowed me to complete, but disk burn would never finalize (after stopping at 78% 8 hours later). How do I get this project file to burn in Nero or something similar and is there better software out there? I have a ton of videos to create after this photo slide show & I certainly can't wait all night for a video to burn after it is created.
PS: I have had this problem w/ previous videos I created. i.e. in the past, using same Premiere Elements version, I have combined multiple video clips into one DVD movie but it took all night to burn. Any insight will be much appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.
I agree with John T., in that the pixel x pixel size of the Still Images would be the first thing that I would look into.
Next, I interpret that error message to be related to the available HDD space. His links on furnishing more info will be important there. Pay special attention to furnishing the full specs. of your I/O sub-system, i.e. your HDD's, their size, speed, available defragmented free-space, controller type and how you have them allocated.
A 90 min. DVD should NOT be over the avilable space on a DVD-5 disc.
If you DO have adequate defragmented free-space on your HDD(s), you should be able to Burn to Folder, and then use Nero, Roxio or the great, free ImgBurn, to do the physical burn to DVD.
However, if you have limited defragmented free-space, that will likely fail, as the working files required are very large.
In very general terms, PrE needs between 40 - 60GB of defragmented free-space, just to run effectively and efficiently. When one does either a Burn to Folder, or Burn to Disc, that necessary space can go up.
Also remember that as one approaches about 70% of HDD capacity, performance decreases. As one nears 100%, performance can slow to a crawl, and at 100% catastrophic failure of the HDD is a strong possibility. One should not exceed about 70%, and NEVER go to 100%.
Good luck, and please let us know more, and especially about your I/O sub-system.

How to Fix quality issues with video in Premiere Elements?

I am uning Premiere Elements 10 on a HP computer with sufficient RAM and an i5 processor. When I upload footage from my Canon Vixia HF r20, it looks fine using Windows media player to play it back, but after putting it into premiere elements 10 using Full HD AVCHD presets (NTSC), it appears grainly and vertival lines are pixelated. This has not been a problem in the past when I have used the same camera and presets. What am I doing wrong?

You don't say how you're judging the quality -- if you've output the video, if you're watching a DVD or if you're just viewing it in the Monitor.
Use Share/Computer/Windows Media WMV to ouput a WMV file. How does it look at 100% (not full screen)? Can you post this WMV to Vimeo so we can see it?

DOH! Poor quality output after 4 days trying to perfect the DVD

Hi guys
I have been trying to burn a 1hr 27min .avi file (700MB) for 4 days now. Ive tried a few ways but each time the DVD has poorer quality video than the original file.
I tried:
- opening .avi file in ImovieHD and then sharing it with iDVD (it refused to burn it, after going thru the whole rendering encoding process mind you)
- going straight to iDVD (definitely it would not burn)
- opening in QT Pro and then 'stream as DV'. which i opened in iDVD and saved as disc image with menus etc. burnt using toast titanium - probably the best result so far i think)
however the dv file was worse than an mp4 file i created using iSquint from the .avi.
- have also tried just opening the avi in toast and burning from there. worse product than the previous one.
So, any suggestions? The main problem is things look quite jagged and a bit pixelated if you know what i mean. Where as the mp4 file, which ive played using iTunes and VLC, is quite smooth (but you can see there's still a bit of quality loss when sharp movements are made by the actors.(expected).
So I've lost lots of time on this stupid thing, but I just really want to sort out how to do it well once and for all.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks

G'day Looneysbin
Sounds like a hardware problem. Is your drive under warranty?
For a start, try rendering your iDVD project to a disk image, instead of burning straight to disk.
Then, create a new Burn Folder on your desktop, and drag the VIDEO.TS file from the opened disk image to the burn folder (note that only an alias actually gets put in the folder).
Next, use Control-click on the Burn Folder to get the contextual menu, and select 'Burn Disc'. Follow the prompts, but burn at the minimum speed available.
This way, your apparent hardware problem won't mean re-rendering the iDVD file each time you try and burn a disc.
You can also keep the .img file on your hard drive as a backup of the disc.
You might also be having a problem with quality of the actual discs themselves. What brand are you using?
