Premiere Pro 2.0 - output is lossy/blocky

I've been having trouble with PP2, in that my shiny source footage exports as lossy/blocky/pixelated no matter which codec etc I use. If I try to burn direct to DVD, I get the "insufficient space on the disc" error. Even if I do nothing except import some footage into a new project, whack it onto the timeline, and then export it, the output is not anything like as good-looking as the source footage was. Why would this be happening? What should I check?
I'm running Vista on a newish 64-bit machine.

Cliff,
Welcome to the forum.
We will need a lot more info to diagnose the issues. This ARTICLE will tell you what info would be very important, and also how to gather much of it.
Please post that info, and someone can likely help you track down where things are going off.
Good luck,

MacBook Pro Retina 13 with Intel Iris graphics breaks Premiere Pro CC hardware output

Hi all,
I just recently got a MacBook Pro 13 Retina, to use for basic editing as a secondary system to my iMac. The MacBook Pro sports a Intel Iris integrated graphics system. When I use GPU acceleration (Open CL), my Blackmagic or AJA Thunderbolt I/O outputs solid green. When I switch to software only, video plays back fine.
I'm running Premiere Pro CC 2014 on Mac OS 10.9.4. I've read that Adobe is now optimized for Intel Iris graphics using Open CL, but why is mine not working when using external video IO?
Anyone run into this?

Does switching off Wifi make a difference?
In UK and USA (and quite a few other places) you have 14 days from purchase to get a refund or replacement - no questions asked. If there is nothing running then this does sound to be depleting rather fast. My late 2013 13" MBP retina gives me about 10 hours using Pages (several documents open) and e-mail only.
Get a replacement and see if you get the same problem.

Premiere Pro CS6 - Video Output (GPU) bad quality...

Hi,
I have a question about Adobe Premiere Pro CS6...
I have installed the Trial-Version and use a BM Intensity Pro to output Full-HD 1080i (50, Interlace) trough HDMI Video-Output...
The Video-Output works correctly, but if I enable the "GPU"-Acceleration (CUDA), and scale or transform a Video (for example a 3D-Transformation) the Quality of the transforming is very bad! (jerky, not "smooth", Interlace-Lines etc...)
If I deactivate the GPU-Acceleration (Software only Mode), everything is smooth and looks good!
Also if I render the Timeline, all tranformations are also smooth, only the Realtime GPU Rendering looks very bad....
What can I do?

Hi :-)
I have tested it now with another Grafikcard!
And it is exactly the same problem
I have found out, that the GPU makes a delay, after a few seconds the Transformation looks smooth/bicubic!
But on relatime-Playback its bad...
My English isnt very good, so I have some problems to describe what I mean...
If you stop the playback, it takes 2 Sekonds and then the image looks good!
But dureing the playback its very bad quality, false Interlace-Lines etc...
here are two screenshots:

Premiere Pro CS4 Win7 output to iTouch 3G???

Hello,
I have created several videos and exported them as MP4 files (via H.264, iPod small/large). They play fine on my computer, but only the audio will play on our iTouch. The screen remains blank, no video.
Any suggestions to correct this would be awesome!!!
Thanks,
JD

This page has some interesting details about supported bitrate and resolution... might be worth a look??

Premiere Pro 5.5 timeline timecode question

Does Premiere Pro 5.5 output TC on HD-SDI when using Kona 3. There have been reports by users that when recording the HD-SDI output (like to a Ki Pro Mini) that they are not seeing any Timeline Timcode coming out the spigot. Any Adobe folks or others know if this is true of false?

As a preemptory response...yes I am in touch with AJA engineers as well to try and get an answer to this question

Animated gif selection does not appear in output menu of Premiere Pro CC?

I watched an online tutorial of how to make gif files using Premiere Pro CC. When selecting the output, an animated gif choice appeared in the output drop down menu of the Premiere Pro CC used in the tutorial. However, the output drop down menu of my Premiere Pro CC doesn't contain an animated gif selection. How do I get an animated gif selection to appear in the output drop down menu of my Premiere Pro CC? I'd like to create gifs with my Premiere Pro CC.

Steven,
In fact, here's a screen shot of the format selections that appear in my Premiere Pro CC. Ya see... No Animated GIF selection appears.

Premiere Pro CS6 and CC with bad quality and incorrect colors in output video

Hi everyone!
I'm frustrated with my results after exporting a video with Adobe Premiere Pro (both CS6 and CC).
The color of the video output is slightly different to the original file (i've checked if it was a problem with my video player, but no, i've tested the video with WMP and others with no success).
Also the video quality is a little bad compared to the original file (i even tried to use frame blending once).
Notice that i'm not using any effects or anything alike, and i'm a begginer in video editing.

I'm exporting the video using almost the same parameters from the original file.
Here's a screen shot of my settings in Premiere:
As you can see in the printscreen, the settings only differ from the original file parameters in the bit rate (which i raised a little),
the TV standard (which i have no ideia what it changes), the level of H.264 (which i raised from 4.0 to 4.1, 5.0 and 5.1), and the bit rate encoding (which i've tried using CBR, VBR 1, and VBR 2).
Just for my curiosity...why these numbers in orange are so extensive? I mean, the original video is only 01:35:30:06 in final output (which is correct).
Notice that i do not use key frame distance (as i don't know what it does).
If i'm doing something wrong, please tell me.

Well if i do that, the video will raise up GBs larger (and that is really bad).
Why is it really bad?
Its a fact of digital life. High datarate = quality.
example ...even the Youtube preset is in the 8mpbs area.
...and you are exporting 1 hr 35mins of media.

Premiere Pro CC CUDA rendering working with avi output only

Hello All,
on my system Premiere Pro CC is only using GPU rendering with AVI output formats.
All other formats like MPEG2, Quicktime, H.264 are unfortunatly fully CPU rendered (=slow).
I just upgraded from trial to payed mode and when Premiere started the CUDA was already enabled (might have activated it during trial already).
But anyway I checked if my card was in the support txt file and also used the cuda.zip auto tool to make sure I had no typo.I did this for Premiere Pro CC and also copied the list into the Adobe Media Encoder directory.
No matter what I did - no hardware rendering.
So I started playing with input and output formats.
It turned out that CUDA is currently only working with AVI output. I installed GPU-Z to check my GPU usage vs CPU usage in the task manager.
As soon as I pick any other output format than AVI - CPU usage during rendering is up to 80-90 and GPU at 0%.
With AVI output GPU ist around 30 and CPU in the 40ties or less as it should be.
What is going wrong here?
One of my old applications Cyberlink Power Produces 11 is doing the h264 rendering in half the time.
Any suggestions?
My System is running on:
Asus P8Z77-V Deluxe with 16GB Ram
Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti (with current Driver - 332.21 )
Windows 8.1 Pro 64-Bit (with Media Center) and latest updates
Current entry in CUDA*.txt file (as printed by Adobe GPUSniffer):
GeForce GTX 660 Ti
And already tried:
GeForce GTX 660Ti
GeForce GTX 660
Best regards
Moongate
P.S. I already followed the instructions on this page http://www.studio1productions.com/Articles/PremiereCS5.htm

I now understand that Premiere Pro CC is only using my GPU for accelerating complex effects during editing giving me the possibility of a live preview during editing?
From the editing in other apps I know that the final rendering can also eat up much time which is why they try to accelerate it via GPU rendering. I see that Premiere is "outsourcing" this task to the Adobe Media Encoder (AME) so that you can continue working during rendering.
But I believe what tricked me into asking this question is that in the AME there is also the option to choose between software and GPU assisted Mercury Engine. So there must be a purpose for it and it sounds resonable that it is for GPU assited rendering.
So when the encoder is not using the GPU to speed up completion of rendering - what is he doing with that option?
Would it not be clever to cut rendering drastically using the GPU - its hard to believe that Adobe is only using it for previews?

Rendering white flicker on the program monitor and output video file. How to get rid of this flicker in adobe premiere pro cc 2014?

Hello,
I have been working with long sequences in adobe premiere pro cc 2014. All of sudden, I see white flicker in the program monitor and rendered output too. The flicker does not follow any pattern. It is very random.
How to work around on this?
Regards
Naveen Alle

Concurrently working on the same project it requires a specific implementation in all editing programs like Avid's Unity/ ISIS shared storage. That's what you are simply not considering. none of your issues would be any problem if your projects resided on a commonly accessed server or something like that. Check respective hardware solutions.

Preview and output in Encore cs5 quality, not close to preview in Premiere Pro CS5

I am working on a project and in Premiere Pro the preview looks fantastic. Sequence that I am dealing with is AVCHD 1080i. When I send the sequence to Encore via Dynamic Link, the preview is fuzzy, not sharp and out of focus. Not only is the preview quality poor in Encore but the output to DVD is just as bad. The footage is pristine in Premiere Pro. I don't get it and I am seriously frustrated. I have done other projects and never had this problem. I have also tried DV NTSC for the sequence setting and got the same results. Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Richard

Yes, it's true that AVCHD to DVD in Encore is not of very good quality but there is a workaround for that.
You can use "Maximum Render Quality" for transcoding the AVCHD file. The quality would be much better than earlier.
to do this :
Just Right click on the asset which is untranscoded and choose Transcode Setting (First option in the context menu)
In the dialog box that comes for Transcode settings, check the "Use Maximum Render Quality" check box and then transcode the file.
This should look good.
Hope it works for you.
Thanks,
Ramesh.

Will project archive out of elements 13 work in premiere pro cc or should I output to file? Thanks

Will project archive out of elements 13 work in premiere pro cc or should I output to file? Thanks

Hi Phillip,
You should be able to open a Premiere Elements Project in Premiere Pro CC (Windows only), however, I tried it and found the results were not very acceptable for use as a backup. Can you try it first?
Thanks,
Kevin

How can i change the format of output captured footage using DSR-11 in Premiere Pro CS5.5?

Hi.
I am using Premiere Pro CS5.5, capturing footage off a mini-DV casette (NOT HD) using a Sony DSR-11. All is well with that, except for that the output is an .avi rather than MP4 (H264). I am under the impression that H264 with the extension of .MP4, is better than avi.
Does anyone know if it is possible to change the format of that outputted footage?
thanks:)

thanks Ann, Jim. I was afraid u'd say avi is the only option w/capturing, but am happy to hear it is the best option. Thanks again, and to the others who replied (and i will look at the "best export format/codec" page:)

How do you use the color channel output mode in Ultra Key in Premiere Pro CS6?

I'm wondering how the color channel output mode is supposed to be used in the Ultra Key inside of Premiere Pro CS6? I've looked through all the Adobe help items and I don't see any documentation on it.

Before I answer, you might want to read the following article: http://www.photoshopessentials.com/essentials/rgb/
So, basically, if you understood all of that, and maybe already knew all of that, then you can use the color channel to see more deeply into the effect by looking at the details of the image through the lens of the color channel.

Client Review Premiere Pro CC Output EASILY

Hi I am trying to figure out an easy workflow to allow clients to review a video that I output from Premiere, and make notes - and ideally be able to mark up frames of video to show me exactly where they are talking about. I saw a video of this being done in premiere pro CS5.
Do Client Reviews of Video Projects Online with CS Review & Premiere Pro | Creative Suite Podcast: Video Professionals |…
.... but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do something like this in PPro CC.
I know I can upload an outputted video to the Cloud, and send a link, but that requires the client to download and no way to easily mark it up.
I have looked into Adobe Anywhere, but that seems like an overkill for this need.
Thoughts? Thanks!
-Brad

Adobe Anywhere is an enterprise solution with high overhead.
CS Review was pulled after a couple of release cycles. I'm not privy to the why's and wherefore's.
Two suggestions:
Have your client install the trial version of Premiere or, probably better still for this purpose, Prelude. Then they can import the video (your encoded output, not the project...) and add markers with their notes--with duration if desired to mark a span. The markers are saved to the clip, so you'll see them when you import the clip into PPRO. Then you can drop that clip on the top track of your working project and walk through the notes.
Go old-school: Burn timecode into the review video, and have the clients reference the timecode in their notes.
