Premier Pro 3 Export Movie/DVD Blurred

Dear All,
I would most appreciate any assistance on a problem that I am experiencing with a current project.
I have a HD1080i50 project which I have completed editing. The work consists of two video tracks on top of a black video track that presents two identically sized images side by side that run con-currently. To achieve this presentation I have solely reduced the scale of the clips to 44% and then positioned them side by side. After rendering, within Premier, the playback is exactly as I want it and the imagery is sharp and clear. The problems occur when I either try to export the project as a mov. file (to play using Quicktime), or when I export to Encore and produce a DVD. In both cases, the audio is fine but the imagery is slightly blurred.
To date, with earlier projects, I have not experienced this problem. I am obviously doing something wrong in the export settings process and would appreciate it greatly if anyone can advise. Should more info on the project be required to respond, I am happy to provide it.
With thanks in advance.

Dear Ann,
Thank you for your post and suggestion of help. The strange thing is, is that I can export other HD projects (in origin) to a .mov file without suffering the loss of quality as with my recent project. This would surely suggest that I am doing something incorrect with the export of this particular work. Given the details I provided in my original post, may I ask what settings you would personaly use to export to a QuickTime (.mov) file?
With thanks in advance.

    Exactly what are you Exporting?
    How are you burning your BD?
    Are you doing the authoring in Adobe Encore, the authoring program, included with PrPro, since CS 3?

  • Premiere pro CS6 export to DVD

    Hi,
    I have recently edited a film on premiere pro CS6 and it's all set to be exported. The film was shot with a 5D mark 3 @ 1920 x 1080, 24 fps. The timeline is about 160 minutes long. I have to export this to a DVD (like a classic DVD feature film with menus, subtitles etc). What export settings on premiere should I choose? I tried exporting in the .avi format but I'm getting horizontal lines (interlaced scanning) which is strange because I remember selecting the 'progressive scan' option.
    I saw a video where this guy says adobe encoder is unable to resize HD videos into DVD (720x480) format succsessfully so he uses TMPGEnc video mastering to resize it before sending it to Encore.
    Is TMPGEnc the only way around to this solution? Or is there something about premiere pro export settings that guy didn't know about, which probably the wise ones here can tell me?
    Thanks in advance,
    Kola

    Thanks a lot Ann and Jim. You both being veterans on this forum I think I'm going to try both the methods starting with Ann's workflow. I've already started the export process and it says it's encoding it. This is what I've been seeing for the last 10 minutes:
    I know you said the render bar won't show, but, here there is a bar only with no progress at all. Is this what you meant? Also, why is the CPU usage at 2% and RAM Usage at 19% when during encoding both figures hit the 50% - 60% mark?
    So anyway, I closed the window and try again and this time it returned me an error, which basically crashes premiere:
    Once again, I'm using premiere pro CC. Has this workflow been tried with CC?
    Jim, I tried your method too. I referred to this page: http://neuron2.net/www.math.berkeley.edu/benrg/avisynth-premiere.html
    I did exactly what it suggested, dropped the suggested .prm into the plugins folder. The first time I went to program > adobe > premiere cc > plug ins > common and then dropped the file there and opened premiere cc and went to export but under no option I get a 'link to avisynth' as filetype option. So then I go to program > adobe > common > plug ins > 7.0 > media core and I dump the .prm file there. I restart premiere and then go to export, same thing.
    why are things so unnecessarily complicated and the ones which are not return error? This is so frustrating, I'm going crazy here. Please help, you guys.

  • Quick Time Pro and exporting movie files

    With Quicktime Pro do you have to purchase Flip for Mac for people with Windows Media Players or Realtime players to be able to view it?
    I've heard of something called AV files. Does Quicktime Pro export a file in some version that can be read by other players, or do I have to purchase some software?

    People with Windows can get the free QT Player for windows and view your QT files that way. One version of Flip4mac will allow you to start with QT and output WMV files. Those would play in Windows Media Player. AVI files might or might not depending on the codec used inside the AVI container.
    There is lots of QT media on the internet, and Windows users just download and install the QT player at no cost and then can watch downloaded or streaming QT media.

  • Adobe premier pro cc, export 0%

    Hi guys,
    I have a big problem. I can't export my videos anymore and I don't know why. I normaly work on my acer computer, it all started when I updated all of my adobe tools, then it stoped exporting. It doesn't even start, it stays at 0% and freezes up. Could somebody help me, please?
    BG Sam

    Can be done either way ( and others as well)
    From Photo Shop one would produce the Layer so one could have individual Control of the components. eg Opacity of the black rectangle and fades on the text.
    Same could be done with multiple titles created in PPPRO.
    Similar layers technique in After Effects composition then brought back into PPRO
    AEFX would be the most powerful for any composting and animation sophistication and control.

  • Colour correction for H.264/YouTube export from premier pro cc, help.

    Hi, I am just finishing up a project that I put together in Premier Pro CC and SpeedGrade. I did a little test export, as it's for YouTube I used H.264. On looking at it afterwards it looked washed out with the blacks losing there depth, the saturation dropping and a loss of contrast. I tried checking on a few monitors and then tried uploading a piece to YouTube and it looks the same across the monitors and the same on YouTube this washed out drab change. So I tried reimporting the export back into Premier Pro and it looks fine in Premier Pro and SpeedGrade. I can go back and push my blacks and whites but it'll have to beyond 0 and 100 to get my contrast back and it feels wrong using the scopes like this. Dose anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

    Yes that's how I'm working. In Premier Pro CC and using the direct link to SpeedGrade then back to Premier Pro and exporting from there. I'm not sure you even can export from SG if you use the direct link from PP. I'm unsure now if it's the H.264 to blame, I tried a few other's and they also look washed out. At present I'm having to go over my old grade, that took days, adding more contrast and saturation seeing if I can get an acceptable image when I export.
    I have tried AVI uncompressed, a few flavours of H.264 including some of the pre set ones like the YouTube ones and some image sequence's. The JPEG sequence was fine, same colours and contrast as within Adobe but all the H.264 and the AVI were washed out no matter what setting I put them on.
    In the picture below you can see from the left first a waveform then the image in SpeedGrade with the scopes showing the blacks well below 0, next the same image back in PremierPro, then the exported H.246 file.
    and here are the settings.

  • Premier Pro CC and Media Encoder crashing on long file export.

    Please forgive the length of this inquiry. But it is complicated and has a lot of variables.
    I have an hour long mixed format timeline both Red 3K footage and Black Magic ProRes 1080P footage that I want to make a DVD from and it takes forever and crashes half way through. I have tried doing it every way possible and the only way I was able to get even a partial export was using the "MPEG 2 DVD" export option in Premier CC. It goes fast at first telling me it will take about 2 hours but even though it starts quickly doing about 15 fps it slows down to less than 1 fps and finally just stops and crashes my Cuda Core enabled Macbook Pro Laptop.
    I really don't know who to ask about this since there are so many different variables. I never had a problem like this on my MBP with PP6 on a 4K timeline exporting to DVD or Blue Ray or to H-264 or Even Prores. But I wasn't mixing formats either. But on this project the first 20-30 minutes of footage goes through fine in a couple of hours but something seems to be bogging down the system on longer projects. My work around was to break the project up into multiple exports and combining them on the DVD timeline but I can't do this on every project. I thought maybe it was a corrupted clip somewhere in the timeline but when I broke the timeline up into several parts I had no problems.
    I did notice a dramatic variance in the time it took to export footage based on the sequence settings. A one minute timeline comprised Red 3K footage and ProRes 1080P footage Here are some sample export results:
    From a Red raw 3K timeline 2880x1620  with 1080P Prores footage upscaled 150%)
    to .m2v Mpeg 2 720x480 format    1:48 Minutes ***
    to .mov  Prores 422HQ  1080P                         22 Minutes
    to .mov H.264  1080P                    22 Minutes
    to .m2v Mpeg 2 1080P                                                22 Minutes
    From a 1080P timeline Prores footage at 100%  (Red footage downscaled to 67%)
    to .m2v Mpeg 2 720x480 format                         13 Minutes
    to .mov  Prores 422HQ 1080P                             13 Minutes
    to .mov H.264  1080P                                                             14 Minutes
    to .m2v Mpeg 2 1080P                                                            14 Minutes
    Since I am going to DVD,  I chose the fastest option  Red to m2v Mpeg 2 720x480 format which only took 1:48 per minute. Why? I have no idea. Maybe someone here knows the answer. But again these numbers are for a ONE MINUTE clip when I tried to convert the whole hour timeline to  the 720x480.m2v DVD File the Red timeline froze my computer after several hours even though I had set sleep mode to “Never” and turned the display off manually and I had to convert it in multiple chunks. In 20-30 minute chunks it did go fast about 1:48 per minute like the test indicated. But I would like to be able to convert the whole hour and not to have to try to stitch the clips together in my DVD authoring program.
    I don’t want to have to avoid using multiple formats on the same timeline or waste time transcoding everything to the same format.
    Can anyone give me any suggestions as to why the computer is crashing or bogging down in long exports and what timeline settings I should be using?
    I have plenty of room on my Scratch Disk and 8 Gig of RAM and according to my Activity Monitor during the export process  have about 800 Meg of System Memory during export but the CPU Usage is 98% and in my Activity Monitor I see under “Process Name” ImporterRedServer flashing up at the top of the list about every second during export.
    Why .720x480 mpeg DVD setting is so much faster than all the other export codecs?
    And if there are any other settings I can use to get higher speed exports in HD? 14x1 seems a little slow especially since every time it crashes I have to start over.

    Hi,
    Since a long time I did not encounter the crash of Media encoder with
    long file export.
    But I take care of a lot of details before the export :
    - clean up Media cache and Media Cache Files within PP CS6 and/or CC,
    - delete all render files with Preview Files,
    - rendering of sequences until the rendering is completed,
    - PP CS6 and/or Pp CC opened during export to AME and/or Encore CS6,
    I guessed to leave Adobe but this company remains the last with a
    serious authoring software (Encore CS 6).
    I tested :
    - Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro X, both are very good software but
    no really authoring software for these video editing softs.
    Th only way is to "flood" Adobe with "bug reports" and "wish forms"
    which are not very easy to use.
    And also to call the Adobe support day by day until they send they
    escalate the bug.

  • Movie proportions in Premier Pro CS 5.5

    I have been given video footage and while it is .mov format, I don't know it's native proportions or any information about it and I don't know how to find out so that I can import it properly into Premier Pro and have it scale properly.
    I have tried importing it into differently configured sequences and each time, the people look tall and skinny (more so than usual).  Sometimes there's a black border on either side, sometimes they fit the frame and are disproportinately tall and skinny.  Clearly my ratio or something is off kilter but I can't seem to figure out which is the right size.
    How do I find that out?
    Update:
    ok, I had been told it was not shot in high def...but on a hunch, I tried HDV 720p and it imported proportionally.   So my question still stands...how the heck can I tell before I use the file, what it was shot in so I can match my sequence appropriately?

  • Premier pro exporting issues with AVI

    HI everyone
    Im pretty new to PRemier pro cs4 so im hoping this is something simple.
    Have been trying to export an AVI file from a project
    The adobe encoder loads like it should and says complete.
    When i go to the file location the file is there but unplayable and show in windows as having a height of 0 and a wifth of 0.
    Also FPS is set to 0 also.
    However when i encode in FLV or a mobile format the video works.
    Any ideas on what im doing wrong ?
    Thanks

  • I think I need to re install Encore off my discs. When I ask Premier Pro CS5 to send my project to Encore, Encore opens but does not receive my movie sequence. How do I re install Encore only without upsetting my movie?

    Hello. I have the Premier Pro CS5 suite on Windows. Can you advise me how to re install Encore off my discs without affecting any of my movie in Premier Pro please?
    I ask Pro to send the movie sequence through Dynamic Link into Encore so that I can burn the sequence to a disc.
    Encore does open but the sequence does not arrive from Pro.
    Last night the sequence did arrive into Encore but took forever to transcribe and I eventually cancelled the process as it appeared to get stuck and did not quite get to writing to disc.
    This morning the sequence does not even arrive into Encore.
    Very frustrating when I have a 4hr movie that I want to write to Bluray so I have now created 4 separate sequences and want to try writing them onto DVD in 1hr chapters.
    Hope someone can help me with this. Cheers. Janice

    Hello Ann. Thank you for your help. I have re installed EN and I have now
    sent parts of my movie to AME. I have then tried several different methods
    of getting the encoded clips into Encore successfully. Once in the Project
    panel and the Timeline, the movie does not show up in the Monitor panel
    above, so I have proceeded to build and write to a disc. I've tried a
    number of options but always end up with EN 'not responding' and having to
    close the program down.
    Something else is that I do get a message whilst in Premiere Pro that there
    is an update available for AME, however, when I look online I do not see an
    update for CS5, although there are 2 updates for CS6. Can you suggest what
    I could do please? The Encore problem is the one that concerns me the most
    as I am not able to record my movie.
    Looking forward to your reply.
    Kind regards.
    Janice

  • Best quality HDV to DVD using Premier Pro CC to Media Encoder CC and Encore

    I have been struggeling to create a decent looking DVD from my HD video.  I am a newbe.  And I have read many, many forum posts trying to learn the best practice and have come out even more confused.  Many posts are back in 2009 and I don't think they apply.  Some recommend dynamic link which does not appear to be an option for me.  So I am hoping to get a clear answer to my problems.  I am including alot of info because I don't know what is really important.
    I have 2 types of video that I am merging into my sequences.
    Sony:
    Format                                   : AVC
    Bit rate                                 : 11.5 Mbps
    Maximum bit rate                         : 16.0 Mbps
    Width                                    : 1 440 pixels
    Height                                   : 1 080 pixels
    Display aspect ratio                     : 16:9
    Frame rate                               : 29.970 fps
    Scan type                                : Interlaced
    Scan order                               : Top Field First
    JVC:
    Format                                   : AVC
    Bit rate                                 : 16.3 Mbps
    Maximum bit rate                         : 17.0 Mbps
    Width                                    : 1 920 pixels
    Height                                   : 1 080 pixels
    Display aspect ratio                     : 16:9
    Frame rate                               : 29.970 fps
    Scan type                                : Interlaced
    Scan order                               : Top Field First
    I set my sequence in Premier Pro CC to
    AVC-Intra 50 1080i
    29.97 fps
    1440 x 1080
    HD Anamorphic 1080 (1.3333)
    30fps Drop-Frame Timecode
    Hopefully I set up my sequence correctly???
    Dynamic Link is not available to me, so I export the sequence.  This is where i get confused.
    I export to MPEG2-DVD.  Preset NTSC DV Wide
    Some forum posts say to tweek the video setting for better quality, this is what I have read:
    quality to 100
    minimum bit rate  4
    target bitrate 6
    maximum bitrate 7
    click maximum render quality
    Since my source has upper field order but PP defaults to lower field order, should I switch to upper?
    I encode in Media Encoder. 
    In Encore, I have my dvd settings:
    MPEG-2
    720x480
    29.97 fps
    Lower fields first  (should this be upper??)
    I have an i5 processor, 8G ram, I am using Mecury GPU accelerator.
    I listed a lot of stuff and I appologize.  I just think the quallity I am getting isn't there.  With these setting and what I am doing, is this as good as the quality gets?
    Help

    Use a 1920 x 1080, 30i sequence for the editing, not 1440 x 1080.
    Start with the MPEG2-DVD option and the NTSC DV Widescreen preset.  Change the Quality to 100.  Change the Field Order from Lower to Upper.  Change the Min, Target and Max bitrates to 5, 7 and 9 respectively.  If you have hardware acceleration turned on, export away.  If you're running in Software Only mode, check the Maximum Render Quality box and then export.
    Bring the resulting video and audio files into Encore for authoring.

  • How to blur the face of the person in the video using Adobe Premier Pro CS5

    Hi
    I have a video captured from a flipcam. I have Adobe Premier Pro CS5 and I don't have  any knowledge of Adobe Premier Pro CS5 . Please can some one post a tutorial as how to blur the face of the person in the video using Adobe Master Collection CS5
    Any help will be grateful .
    Thanks

    You are not really in the right place.  I don't think you can edit video with Photoshop CS5, but Premier Pro CS5 can definitely do it.  Off the top of my head, copy the video track on the timeline, (hold down the Alt/Opt key and drag).
    Then Effects > Video Effects > Stylize > Mosaic.
    Adjust number of blocks in Effects controls.
    Then add Video effects > Keying > Four point matte
    Adjust position of matte in effects controls.
    If you want the matte to track with the video, move to start point on time line and adjust position.  Move to end point and edit position.  Matte will now move from one point to the other.
    If you want more and better help, go to the Prem Pro forum.

  • Premier Pro CS6 hangs exporting

    The export function starts and after a period and % complete hangs with no error message, it never hangs in the same % complete or after the same period, I need to force quit the application to continue.
    I am running Premier Pro CS6 (6.0.5) on an Macbook Pro 2.3 i7, 16Gb memory, OSx 10.8.5. 
    I am trying to export to an HD 1080P MOV file with H.264. All video files are ProRes on an USB drive. sound tracks MP3s are on a network drive.
    I have no third party plug-ins and a 2.5hr project which has succesfull exported previously using the same settings.
    Transitions are mainly cuts and a couple of cross disolves. Video Audio is on Track 1 and is blank. Additional Audio is on track 2 with constant power transitions between songs. So nothing really complicated.
    I have checked the video to ensure no gaps in the sequence using page down through the cuts.  I have also ensured that there are no blank audio tracks by filling the gaps with a piece of blank audio.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing the hang.
    Steve
