Poor rendering quality

Why can't I change the rendering mbps to higher than 8.0 in Pre 12? The output video (originally shot in 1920 x 1080) looks HORRIBLE! I'm attempting to create a 1 hour DVD (dual-layer; 8.5 gb) of the best quality I can. Pre 12 only uses 3.4 gb--so I have plenty of space left.

There is no changing expectations when the discussion gets to frame size 1920 x 1080 versus DVD-VIDEO on DVD, 720 x 480 (NTSC) or 720 x 576 (PAL) with standard or standard widescreen. It is what it is. But, perhaps, I can help you determine if you are getting the best possible DVD-VIDEO on DVD product that you can from your Premiere Elements 12 workflow.
1. The maximum set for the burn dialog's burn to disc DVD bitrate is 8.00 Mbps. The burn to works off a variable bitrate so the bitrate is going to be much less than that at times during the duration of the video. Work with "Fit Content to Available Space" with a check mark next to it. And, only leave it unchecked if you get Data Rate error message which forces you to lower the bitrate manually to overcome that error. If, with "Fit Content to Available Space" checked, you see the listed bitrate less than 8.00 Mbps before the burn, that means that the project needs to lower the bitrate automatically to make the fit. The latter should not be the case for you since you have 7.95 GB (in reality) on that labelled 8.5 GB/240 minute disc and you are saying that the Space Required is 3.4 GB in the Quality area of the burn dialog.
The standard DVD disc labelled 4.7 GB/120 minutes in reality is 4.38 GB, so if your Space Required in the burn dialog is showing 3.4 GB, not reason not to use the 4.7 GB/120 minutes disc. The Bitrate should be showing as 8.00 Mbps.
2. A key considerations are the properties of your source media and what is being set for the project preset by you or the project. Premiere Elements 12 assumes the role of setting the project preset based on the properties of the first video drag to the Timeline. Sometimes it does that OK, sometimes not. When not, it does not give you the closest choice, but rather defaults to its default of NTSC AVCHD Full HD 1080i30 or its PAL counterpart.
a. The question becomes "What is the project preset for these burn to DVD projects?" If you do not know, then check Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frames Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio.
b. Two considerations...do you have interlaced or progressive frame rate...if interlaced, what scan order, Top Field First or Bottom Field First? The answer with high certainty is scan order = Top Field First.
c. If progressive, then you want to use the NTSC/DSLR/1080p/DSLR 1080p30 @ 29.97 or the PAL Counterpart.
d. If interlaced, you probably want to use the NTSC/Hard Disk Flash Memory Camcorders/Full HD 1080i30 so that you have a match up the field dominance of the video with the requirement of DVD-VIDEO Bottom Field First. Alternatively, you could use NTSC/AVCHD/Full HD1080p30 project preset and then apply Reverve Field Dominance at the Field Options/Timeline level.
If the project is not setting the correct project preset, then you set it manually before you import media into the project.
File Menu/New/Project and change the project preset accordingly.
Before you exit the final dialog there, make sure that you have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project". Then back to the Premiere Elements workspace to import your source media.
The above is a rough idea of where you might look to seek "better".
Please review, if any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks.

  • Poor rendering quality of Motion import

    I have some simple Motion moves - pans scans and zooms across hi-res (3600x2400px) still images. When these are taken into FCP (v5.0.4), either as an import or as an export from Motion (v2.0.1), I encounter a problem with image quality. This is most apparent when I have zoomed into the original image, even when taking the precaution of not zooming in as far as tv resolution. All diagonal lines become stepped, as if the FCP image is displaying at around 240 lines rather than 480 (NTSC) This has a particularly nasty appearance with horizontal, vertical or diagonal lines in the image during movement. The original Motion file plays back beautifully, with no artifacts. I imagine this to be a problem within FCP to do with rendering. Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong?
    John

    I'm viewing this on both the computer and an external TV monitor. The tv monitor exhibits the problem - that's why I am concerned - and so does the computer, where I'm viewing the clip at 100% resolution. This project is shot and cut in NTSC DV. I have imported the motion files into FCP and rendered them there, then rendered out the sequence to a self-contained file. (I have also tried rendering the clip from Motion and placing that clip into FCP. There is no apparent difference in quality.) Since my original posting I have tried this routine on someone else's computer and the end result was good, without any of the line flicker that is distressing on the problem version. I went back to my computer and re-did it and still got the poor end result. It would seem to me that there are some render settings somewhere that I need to change, but I don't know where else to look. Both computers used in this process are G4 Powerbooks.

  • Poor rendering quality for still images

    I have opened a new project with PAL DSLR settings (1080p, 25fps).
    I have added a full res (about 4000px x 3000px) still image to the timeline and added a pan effect to it. When I view the preview in PE it looks fine. However, when I render the clip the quality is very poor in the preview.
    I have tried exporting the clip to a file and this plays fine, but the preview does not look good.
    Any ideas why the rendering should have this effect?

    pickera2
    I have a few things for you to consider and tryout if interested.
    First, you are taking a 4000 x 3000 4:3 still into a 1920 x 1080 16:9 project (you say project preset = PAL/DSLR/1080p/DSLR 1080p25).
    Your problem is confined to the preview of the pan and zoom result using the Pan and Zoom Tool (I am assuming the you are using Premiere Elements 10 or 11 or 12...I do not recall that you said which one).
    Edit Menu/Preferences/General includes the preference "Default Scale to Frame Size" and it does just that. It is typically found ON. So, when your 4000 x 3000 pixels still is imported, the program tries to fit it as best possible into the 1920 x 1080 16:9 space set up in the Edit Mode monitor (Magnification = Fit) by the project preset. In your case, you would expect to see the following with black borders:
    Is that what you are taking into the Pan and Zoom workspace? Or are you scaling what is seen there so that the image just fills the 1920 x 1080 space? Does it look like the following after scaling, if you do scale to fit?
    And important point to remember is that whatever the case, the Pan and Zoom workspace is not referencing what is seen on the Timeline, but is instead referencing back to the original at the hard drive save location.
    An alternative to all of this includes
    Bringing you image into the project with the Default Scale to Frame Size disabled in preference. Then the 4000 x 3000 will overflow the space in the 1920 x 1080 monitor. You would then ignore what you see in the Premiere Elements workspace, select the Pan and Zoom Tool to open the Pan and Zoom workspace, and do your pans and zooms on the image that you see there. Click Done when finished. Back in the Premiere Elements workspace render the Timeline and  scale what you see in the Edit Mode monitor as needed.
    You also might want to look at beforehand cropping your 4000 x 3000 4:3 to 2200 x 1238 pixels 16:9 and using that as your source media with or without the Default Scale to Frame Size enabled.
    Please view to see if the previews look any better and/or there are improvements in the export.
    Thanks.

  • Poor Rendering quality with CC, but not CS6

    I've been through well over 10 hours with Adobe Chat Support trying to figure out why the quality of my renders have been awful lately. I use the 720p Vimeo Preset for uploading files for work, and with CC I've been getting consistently low render quality with any H264 presets. The H264 BluRay preset produces corrupted videos without fail.
    Every time I've gone through a support call, I've been told that there actually isn't anything wrong with Premiere, but that I just need to raise the settings for my rendered video. No. No. No. And again, no.
    I have a high quality pre-rendered video. If I re-render it through Premiere Pro CC or Encoder CC, even with 1080p presets, I get nothing but artifacts and corrupted files. I rendered out the same video on my other computer, it looked great. I thought I was having a graphics card issue, but it's CC.
    I have Encoder CS6 installed on this computer. Don't know how. Never had CS6 anything installed, but it's there. Anyways, I tried rendering my high quality video through CS6 and it looks beautiful. Installed a trial version of Premiere  CS6, again, no issues whatsoever.
    Observing the files after the fact, rendered videos from CC are about a third of the size of videos rendered in CS6. They render in half the time as well.
    I wasn't quite sure how to approach this, whether or not to report it as a bug, or if there's something natively different about the settings in both versions of Premiere or how they work?
    Could this possibly still be a graphics card issue? I have to deactivate one of my graphics cards to avoid playback issues in Premiere, and I recieve error messages regarding not having enough vRAM if I try to open Photoshop with that same graphics card deactivated.

    I don't know why it is, just that it was a bug that was revealed about a year ago. I had similar problems with my 9800 and could not for the life of me figure out the cause. I had Epson telling me it was the humidity. I had Chromix telling me to put the UV filter on my Spectrolino, and it all came down to the default printer. Not sure exactly where I read about it first, but I'm glad that one more person now knows.

  • Poor sound quality in timeline and export; fine in Source?

    Hello all.
    Newbie to Pr but experienced pro in digital audio. I'm stumped and know I'm just missing something somewhere.
    I've made a music video for one of my songs. The graphics are all done (in AE), imported to Pr and eveything looks great. I import the final mix of the audio and it sounds very low quality when played from the timeline and in the final output, regardless of format (I've tried several presets and custom settings as well). I played around and noticed that the audio sounds fine when played from the Source window inside Premier.
    The Pr session is comrised of 18 video tracks (not all playing at once, of course) and one stereo audio track.
    I've tried re-exporting the audio from Logic at different bit depths, sample rates and file formats (mp3, wav, AAC, etc) but the results are the same every time: Source (Pr)sounds fine, Logic output sounds fine, rendered / timeline playback sounds like very low quality mp3 and final product sounds just as bad.
    I've tried everything I can think of. I hope one of you can show me what I'm missing.
    TIA!

    Thank you for the reply!
    I was experiencing the same results no matter what export settings I used. Plus the poor sound quality was present in the timeline itself, without even exporting the project.
    I finally threw my hands up, started a completely new project, drug the same audio file in... sounded fine. Copied / Pasted the video clips from the original, broken project and boom, eveything is fixed. Yeah, corrupted Pr file it turns out. All I had to do was start a new project and import all the old components.
    I've had to do this in Logic a lot (increasingly, these days). I just wish I'd tried it 10 hours earlier! Ha.
    Anyway, problem solved, and thanks very much!

  • 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.

  • Problems with rendering quality in Premiere Elements 9

    Hello, I've made a few videos with PE 9 now, and I get very poor quality rendering despite trying several different settings. I saw on a help thread earlier that I needed to try changing to HD when creating the new file from the beginning. I did that, but it only made my PE 9 run more slowly, and the rendering quality was not improved. I also read somewhere that using .MOV files as a source can cause problems with rendering; is that true? I hope not! I use a Lumix bridge camera for my videos, and the video quality is very good. And when I'm working with these videos within PE 9 the quality is great. It's only when exporting to various file types that the quality suddenly becomes poor. For the most part I have made compilation videos of gymnasts, and when their legs move they are often so lined or pixelated that they become invisible. Here is an example of a short gym video I made yesterday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0s7tUBcSZk. The last girl jumping gives the best example of this invisible leg problem.
    You can see the original source films here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmUMi9oN8dQ
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEzcJZjhxiI
    and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I53twqPQMV4
    The sequences I took in my compilation video start at about 20 seconds in the source videos.
    Youtube does reduce the quality of the videos slightly, but in any case you can definitely see a difference in quality between the source videos and the PE 9 rendered compilation video.
    I'm quite disappointed because I made a longer compilation video set to music (which was a lot of work), and it looks so much nicer on PE 9 than on any of the rendered formats, but of course I can't share the PE 9 version!
    Thanks very much for your help.
    Chleste

    Thanks Steve. I'm not sure what resolution I'm shooting in, actually. However, the thing is that when I make these compilations, I like to go back to source videos I've made in the past sometimes. Sometimes these videos come from a Canon camera, and sometimes they even come from my Samsung mobile telephone. I like being able to creatively combine historic moments, and these moments might have been recorded without any intention at the time of making a compilation video. Is it not possible to combine several kinds of video sources?
    I'm uploading an example of a compilation with mixed source videos from various kinds of cameras. It's 710 Megs so it will take a while, but when it's finished you will be able to see it at http://youtu.be/CslpULRe4LU.
    I opened up the file for the compilation of the four girls on the beam (video posted in original message), and I do indeed see those red lines in the timeline. Is there anything I can do now about that, or do I have to start the project all over?
    I'm confused about the processor requirements. Even if I can see my video perfectly in PE 9, the actual export process will be affected if my system is not up to par? If so, that's a bit disappointing! I'm not sure what my processor details are, but I will find out and let you know.
    Many thanks.

  • Rendering quality

    Help! I am a beginner and I am having problems with the rendering quality......I have put together a video on premiere elements 12 but when I play the whole thing back it pops up with the box recommending to render it for better quality & smoother playback however when i render it the quality of some of the clips go very pixilated and poor quality.  The quality is sooooo much better without rendering but the problem is when it isn't rendered after about 4 minutes of playback it starts freezing and jumping. Is there a way to get a smooth playback without rendering and effecting the image quality?

    Rendering your timeline is simply a way to smooth out playback of your timeline and save you from getting out of memory messages. It doesn't effect the final look of your output movie.
    Meantime, you can improve the quality look of your playback by right-clicking on your Monitor and setting the playback quality to Best. But this will, of course, put a bit more of a challenge on your computer hardware to keep up.

  • Poor photo quality when importing to iMovie

    I imported some photos to make a slide show with added soundtrack. When I select a photo and click the "Show photo settings" it looks crisp and clear, just as it was shot. As soon as I deselect the "Show photo settings" button it looks blurred, pixeled and fuzzy, just an ultra low quality photo. The end result of the video slide show it's just a low end work.
    I just want to burn some DVD's to show my photographic work, but such a poor photo quality it's not going to help me achieve what I had intended.
    Any clues anyone???

    I'd like to follow up on your answer re: resolving poor photo quality. It seems the mere act of bringing photos into iMovie degrades the quality. You look at the photo in the preview window and it looks crisp. But then when you "ADD" it to the timeline, it becomes almost fuzzy. Isn't iMovie rendering the photos then and there as you bring them into the timeline? I cannot seem to make the photos look sharper and it doesn't seem to help doing the slideshow first in iPhoto, which I'd rather not do anyway.
    Any suggestions?

  • Rendering Quality - iMovie HD

    Dear All,
    Am currently creating a project in iMovie HD, and cannot seem to find the highest / correct rendering quality?
    Am using credits (iMovie credits weren't working at all so imported text images had created and fade in and out) and whenever rendering the pixel quality from the preview screen drops ENORMOUSLY.
    In the preview screen and when viewed full screen in iMovie the quality is perfect, but as soon as render (even at "Full Quality") it drops WAY down. Have tried fiddling with "Expert Settings" but no joy.
    Any tips MUCH, much appreciated.
    Many thanks in advance,
    - D.

    iMovie will render your images as movies, thus, your reduction in quality. The best way to import images is to make a slideshow in iPhoto, export it to Quicktime and then import it to your iMovie project. No rendering problems at all. It is possible to play around with the Ken Burns effect in iMovie to get the image to render with a little better quality, but no guarantees, especially if you are using dark backgrounds with bright colored text. They will never render cleanly.

  • Very poor video quality after transcoding in Adobe Encore CS5.1

    MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
    I have very poor video quality after transcoding the video file (MPEG) in  Adobe Encore CS5.1. Below you see my used settings in my filmproject.
    The problem exists after transcoding in Adobe Encore CS5.1. I checked all steps and found out that there is no problem until transcoding. My exported file  in MPEG has very good video and audio quality.
    Facts:
    1. Camcorder: Panasonic AG-AC160AEJ
    Operating System : Windows 7, 64 Bit, Ultimate edition
    Source files: MTS files
    Recording settings (clip settings):
    Type: MPEG Movie

    Frame Rate: 25,00
    Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
    Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1,0
    2. Sequence settings in Premiere Pro
    Sequence was created from Clip directly with settings above.
    3. Exporting settings in Adobe Premiere Pro:
    Match sequence settings was activated. Now other changes were set.
    4. Exported File:

    5. Transcoding settings in Adobe Encore:
    I used different transcoding settings such as automatic DVD Transcoding, CBR and VBR.I also set “use maximum render quality”. But all results were always the same: very poor quality.
    Why does the encore transcoding cause such bad video quality?
    How can I solve this problem?
    Please help me soon.
    Best regards.

    Hi Ann,
    1) I did not only „Automatic (based on source)“ options in my tests, but also many other customized options.
    The results are very poor. I have done a new test with the following settings. The result is also poor:
    Download link: http://www.klavierlehrer-bayern.de/download/test_mpeg2dvd_1.m2v
    Export Settings:
    Format: MPEG2-DVD
    Preset: Custom
    Codec: MainConcept MPEG Video, Quality: 5

    Field Order: Upper
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Automatic (based on source)
    Render at Maximum Rate: [active]
    Bitrate Encoding: VBR, 2 pass
    Minimum Bitrate (Mbps): 5
    Target Bitrate (Mbps): 9
    Maximum Bitrate (Mbps): 9
    GOP Settings
    M Frames: 4
    N Frames: 12
    Use Maximum Render Quality: [active]
    Multiplexer: None
    2) Why shouldn’t I use the “Match Sequence Settings” in exporting? Because of the big output file size?
    I used it and the results are very good as I expected:
    Download link: http://www.klavierlehrer-bayern.de/download/test_MatchSequenceSettings.mpeg
    Export Settings
    Match Sequence Settings [selected]
    1920 x 1080, 25 fps, Upper, Quality 50
    User Maximum Render Quality: [active]
    3) I tried also Dynamic Link in PremierePro (to Encore).
    The results are also poor.
    4) I will test also LagarithLoslessCodec and frameserving +DGMPGDec. But the video is vertical long drawn-ot.
    I think I did not use it correctly.

  • HT201335 Airplay Mirror Poor Image Quality on CBS app - help?

    Airplay mirror from iMac/iPad to HD TV w/Apple TV has a Poor Image Quality when watching network shows via for example the CBS.com site or the CBS app. The image looks dark, not HD at all. My internet speed/performance is obviously not the issue because Hulu, Netflix etc all come in great using Apple TV ~ sorry, not all that savvy in this department, is the poor picture down to it just being a mirror of the iMac or iPad or is there a setting or something I am missing?

    You should use the Acrobat extra menu in word 2010: then edit Preferences and choose Conversion settings : High quality print
    Hope it helps

  • Has anyone had issues with poor image quality when using lightroom to process raw images from Canon 7dmk2

    Hi everyone..
    ..I have been having image quality issues when using Lightroom to process raw files from a 7d mk2... They are all soft with poor clarity.....tonight in despair I tried processing them  using  canon's software and they are totally different..."much better"
    anyone else had similar problems....Andy

    I have a 7D2 and have not had what I interpret as poor image quality that has anything to do with the camera.
    Can you post a screenshot of what you’re seeing and what specifically you don’t like?  Maybe there is something you can do differently or at least there may be an explanation for what you’re seeing.
    And if you have a raw image that you wouldn’t mind sharing in a public forum, upload to http://www.dropbox.com/ then post a public share link to it in a reply, here.
    In other words post a screenshot of what you see in LR, another of what you see using DPP, and a link to the raw file you’re processing.

  • Aperture Light Table - Poor image quality

    I am using the Light Table function in Aperture (3.4.5.) and I had an issue with the quality of the images on it, when zoomed in or scaled to fit.
    The quality of the (larger spread) images looks poor. As if I zoomed in on a thumbnail.
    I was looking for a discussion on this and saw some (archived) threads. None of them solved.
    However, I think I have found a workaround.
    If you get this situation, you can select the image(s) on the light table and regenerate the preview.
    Option-click Menu => Photos => Generate Previews
    (note: if you don't use the Option key, you will get Menu => Photos => Update Previews and Aperture may say (unjust) that the preview is already up-to-date).
    That solves the poor image quality look.

    I just remade the same book - as a test - in the extra large hardback format (ie. the one I used for the previous publication, last year).
    This time, the pictures are fine.  The images appear to be the same quality in the PDF as the originals - much, much better.  The size of the file has increased massively too > up from just 2.6MB to 52.8MB.
    So does the books production function work well only with the biggest, most expensive option? 
    I'd really appreciate some feedback from anyone who's tried the different sizes, and preferably some brilliant ideas to make them all work equally well.
