Text poor quality after Export

I'm having some pretty poor quality text rendering after export. The video appears fine otherewise. I am exporting to YouTubeSD not HD, though I wouldn't think that would matter. [?]
I'm pretty new to the complexities of film editing. So, I can't answer much about the video source files other than that they are MP4 converted originally from analog files written to DVD. I wouldn't think that would have anything to do with the titles at all since all text created thru PP Title Editor. [?]
Here's a screenshot of settings. Any ideas?

Sorry- I meant to add this is CS5.5
Jeff- I've been using this same font for other projects without problem. This just started happening on this project. Yes, it is a serif font but no problems before. It's always rendered well [Adobe Arabic].

Here's a better screenshoht:
And some screen shots of titles:
BEFORE text rendering problem. From a project last year, this typeface is skinnier but rendered much better!
AFTER text rendering problem started. This is the current typeface that, even though a heavier typeface, renders horribly!!
I should add that the titles seem to flicker a bit when transitions are applied to the start or end of title clip.

Poor quality after exporting

Hi,
I'm quite new to Premiere Pro and am having problems with the quality of my movie after exporting it. It looks fine within Premiere Pro but once exported it's very shaky and it comes up with red flashes in random places.
When I export the movie, I go to 'Export to Encore' then 'Burn without menus' and select NSTC high quality.
The only thing I can think of is the original source files I am using. My camera only downloads as MOD files which I then convert to MPEG2 files.
I need to screen the video to around a 100 work colleagues at a function on Saturday so any help or suggestions would be most appreciated!!

> The only thing I can think of is the original source files I am using. My camera only downloads as MOD files which I then convert to MPEG2 files.
Correct. Reshoot with a different camera or use different software, like WMM or PE, or anything that is consumer grade software.

FCE + 5D Mark 2 = Poor quality after export

Hi,
I've been attempting to edit some footage shot on the 5D Mk2. Playing back the footage works fine once it has been rendered, but when I export it as a quicktime file and burn through either iDVD or Toast, the final results are very poor. It looks terrible! I understand its not possible to burn HD quality (unless you have a HD/BLU RAY BURNER) and perhaps I'm not exporting it correctly....
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks

a videoDVD has a fraction of res of your device/FCE sequence...
watching a videoDVD on a 'HiRes' computer screen full-screen, blows up the 720x480 res by factor 4-6x..

Poor quality images exporting from InDesign to PDF

We are having an issue with poor quality images exporting to PDF from Indesign (CS6). It makes zero difference whether the images are Ai images or PDF. They look perfect in Ai, perfect in the InDesign document, but appalling in the exported PDF. If the PDF document is printed, they print fine, but as a web based pdf document it is not publishable. We must use compression on export to keep the file size small enough for web/email use, but even with compression turned off on export there is no improvement in the PDF quality with a document ten times the size.
Any help would be appreciated?

I appear to have answered my own question, but will place it here to hopefully help others.
On comparing another InDesign document that appeared to export to PDF ok, we noticed that the type of frame makes a huge difference to image output quality. In the suspect document the frames with the images in them were " [Basic Graphics Frame]+ ". When I changed the frame (or made a new frame) to " [None] "; not only were the images a lot clearer in the InDesign document but they exported to PDF perfectly. Something so simple!!!!

Rendered text looks OK in premiere pro, but is poor quality when exported - why?

I have done a nice text animation in after effects. Just a simple character by character fade on.
It looks good in AE, and when I import and preview it in Premiere Pro, it looks equally nice.
However, when I export it to a (high bit rate WMV), it looks poor and blocky.
All the other non-animated text looks fine. Why is this happening?
(I have CS3)

Well, with the information to hand I'm out of ideas. I'd need more data to go further. If you'd care to upload the export, I can take a look here, see what you see.

Poor audio quality after exporting to .MOV.

Voiceover in my video sounds crystal clear in the timeline but then thin and "rattley" after export when playing back with Quicktime player. Background music on other tracks always seems to be unaffected. Audio export set to AAC, 48 kHZ, Stereo. I must export to a Quicktime .mov format because it's the only file type that I can upload to YouTube without the color quality being distorted after upload. Adobe Updater says all of my programs are updated.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

How did you record the VO? is it a mono or stereo track, how are you viewing the export. Sometimes when just one section of the audio is wrong it is due to audio phase problems, I have not seen this with a vo before but it might be the issue. See:

Poor Video Quality After Export

I used Brightness & Contrast as well as Three-Way Color Corrector to edit. When I export, I lose almost all of the color quality. I have tried QuickTime, H.624, and a number of different Codecs and it always comes out the same. I have pushed the bit rate all the way up as well. I'm not sure what else to do

To better understand, when you saw poor quality, that is compared to what? The original clip?
Are you viewing both on the same monitor? If you remove the effects, does the quality look better?

Poor Quality after Capturing the 1080i Source

I use the camera that the model is Sony HDR-HC3.
When i capture the 1080i source recorded by above model,
the source in Final Cut Express HD is very poor.
The image will break in several shadow when the shot is presenting
movement, as like pan left/right, tilt up/down etc.
When I export the movie used the H.264, it's much more poor.
What's wrong is happened?
Thank you for reply.
p.s.May i post the screen picture that Final Cut Express HD presenting
after capture?

Melfice,
I had the same problem. I tried different FW & HD settings and still got poor quality. Then I tried an HD tape and got the same results. So, I took my Sony back and traded for Canon's new HD (HV10), and found the quality to be MUCH better. I don't know why and would rely on someone with bigger brains for that answer.

InDesign CC: Text in editable text fields disappearing after exporting

Hi,
I'm having an issue of text disappearing from editable text fields after exporting the document as an interactive pdf. I've created the text that needs to be editable in acrobat with InDesign CC. So for example, I want to have an editable text field that already says "I'm Mary." I want users to have an ability to change "Mary" to "Tom" or "Ben" in Acrobat. So the pdf should have an editable text form saying "I'm Mary" sentence when users open the pdf in Acrobat. However, after exporting, the text fields remains but the text itself "I'm Mary." is gone. I don't understand why this happens because the text is there when previewed in SWF preview window in InDesign.
The below is the list of steps I took.
STEP 1: Create some texts (For example, m with the text frame tool in InDesign CC
STEP 2: Right click the frame, and click on "Interactive > Convert to Text Field"
OR
STEP 2: Select the text frame, open "Buttons and Forms" window and change the type as "Text Field"
STEP 3: Export the document as an interactive pdf. The setting is default.
Result: When I open the pdf in Acrobat, the text field is there, but it is blank.
Please help me to resolve this issue. I know this is possible because a person before me at my job did it.
Thank you!

As far as I know, to have a pre-populated text form [I'm Mary] appear in the text field, you will need to set the Default Value of the text field in Acrobat. You can do that by selecting the property of the field > Options > Default Value

What's with the poor quality when exporting a presentation to iDVD

When I exported I choose high resolution preference. The presentation ran perfectly in Keynote, but when I exported it to iDVD it looked horrible- like low res- the same when I burned it onto a DVD just as a test. Also, when I tried another route- exporting to Powerpoint it saved the file as .pps? What is that? None of my others have done that.
G4 Powerbook 17in Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I have iDVD 6 and I exported it - high quality to iDVD. Is that what you mean by iDVD feature?
I read on this discussion something about the slide resolution. I discovered when I first set up the show my resolution was 800x600 and I haven't found a way to change it. I am ready to begin again and set my slide res to the maximum and copy, paste, and resize all my text to fit- then export again. LOTS OF WORK! but I am not sure how else I can resolve this.

Poor quality after days of rendering (AE CS5)

I bought an AE project file (VideoHive.net) and the first time I tied to use it things worked fine, although it took most of a day (9 hours) to render a 2 minute project. Then I made some changes (substituting pictures in the sample) and attempted to export it again. At high quality 1080 AVI, it took 52 hours and the result was a jittery poor quality mess. So then I rendered the project again at 720 as an MP4 and it only took 37 hours, but this time it was even worse and even more unusable.Same machien, same memory assignment, same project file.
I don't know if I was supposed to render in RAM first (I may hve done that before the first rander just to see what it looked like) or what combination of settings I should be using or if I should be sending it directly to Premiere (although I can't seem to make that work). I think my first attempt was an MOV which I imported into Pr with no problem and it only took 9 hours to render. Same machine, same project. This should be an adequate machine (6 core, 16 GB) with 80% memory assigned to CS5. I've spent hours on Lynda.com watching all the AE courses but they don't seem to include the minor details and steps. They assume the viewer can figure that out, I guess.
What is the correct process to follow (RAM first?), what render file should I be using and how long should it take for a (less than) 2 minute finished AE project?

TimeRemapper,
Here's the project: http://videohive.net/item/photo-album/94595
I have it running on 5 of the 6 processors using 13 GB of the RAM.
Rendering to local SATA drive, same as the source files.
I have no problem with the 9 hours, but I do have a problem with 3 days and
a jumpy mess as the result.
The images I switched out are mostly smaller than the ones in the sampler
and about the same as the scanned pictures I used in my trial run.
Should I try to export to my Premiere project or export to a file to bring
back into Pr? (added to video interview). If I export it, it needs to be 720
for standard DVD - What is the best format and settings for that? AVI? MOV?
MP4? Obviously what I selected was outside of what the machine could
adequately generate.

Massive Loss Of Quality After Exporting

Hi guys.
Apologies if this has been covered before, but I didn't feel like looking through pages and pages of threads.
I'm shooting on a Sony HDR-FX1E @1080i, and editing in Final Cut Express HD.
I'm capturing using the "Apple Intermediate Codec 1440x1080i50"
I'm in a PAL country, therefore shooting in PAL.
Now, when my image is in the editor. It looks sharp, and the colours are great. However, then I export using these settings: Quicktime Conversion - Then as Quicktime movie, using the H.264 codec, and restricting to 6500kbp/s (the size that the website i'm uploading to reccomends) then at 1920x1080 HD.
Then when I watch the video back, the quality and colours are severely lacking.
Could someone please tell me where I'm going wrong.
(see picture in Link for comparison. Image on right is in the editor, and image on the left is after exporting.)
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4094/49109848704d83f35e0eb.jpg

Okay, so I've looked through the first 10 pages. I've still got another 1,500 to look through.
It probably would have been just as quick and ten times more helpful to reply with what I have to do, rather than a sarcastic, witty comment.
Could anyone else recommend me a forum or somewhere where I can find the information I need?
Thanks.

Poor quality when exporting to MOV (H264/AAC) with CS5 and CS5.5

Hi there,
I need to export my HDV sequence (1440*1080 Pixel 1,33 25fps) using HDV footage only to MOV format (with H264 / AAC codecs).
I'm using 1024*576 (1.0) SD preset with a correct video bitrate CBR 6mbs and the Quality is awful.
When I use the H264 format ( to get a .MP4 file) with the same preset (1024*576 square pixel >> CBR 6mbs) the quality is quite good. I 'm pretty happy with that. The only thing is that my client (TV) needs the clip in MOV format (including H264/AAC codecs) and the quality is awful. They expect me to use FCP as most of the journalists here in France use this application.
I tried with PREMIERE CS5 on a PC (windows 7 64 bits) >> 8G0 RAM, Dual Core
and with PREMIERE PRO CS5.5 on a mac
Same awful result when trying to export to MOV (H264/AAC).
I heard that PREMIERE can't properly export to this format? Is this correct? If so, i need to convince my client to use only MP4 (H264/AAC) files since I don't really wanna use Final Cut Pro or Media Composer to edit and export my clip.
Any tips ?
Thanks guys.
Julien

I had similar quality issues exporting H264 from PPro vs. Avid Media Composer. CHeck out this thread link http://forums.adobe.com/thread/854379?tstart=0.
I found it pretty helpful, it also links to another reference thread.
I think it's possible, but will take a bit of trial and error.
Good luck

Poor quality after timeline rendering of after effects dynamic link comp.

One of my typical workflows involves dynamic linking AE comps into Premiere- Often I can playback the timeline in Premiere without rendering and achieve great results with no dropped frames. This scenario is ideal since I need to play out sequences in premiere passing them through a Matrox MXO2 LE box to capture them on another system. However, I have noticed recently that if I need to render the Premiere sequences before playback because the dynamically linked AE comps are more complicated, I lose quite a bit of quality after rendering.I've searched around and read about different quality settings in both AE and PP and I can't seem to find any settings that affect this process. Pause and playback quality are both set to full, tried checking rendered maximum depth/quality in the sequence settings and I still can't get this right. I am perplexed since I would think that results would be better post-render.

The video preview settings were set to DV NTSC. I'm not sure why I didn't think to look at those settings. I went ahead and downloaded the Ut Video Codec Suite and things are now looking great - just like they do when I do not render the sequences. I am noticing now that my HD sequences usually are setup to use Matrox's Mpeg2 I frames only codec.
Is the lossless codec choice always the best/most efficent choice to be used for the preview codec? I assume if I was not dynamic linking I should match this codec with the codec of the files in my sequence, is this correct?

Poor Quality when Exported for DVD

Hi,
I am creating a dvd of some animations, and the animations are videos of what were originally all vector shapes and text. The videos were originally made with After Effects, at 720x480, NTSC preset. I can export from after effects at full-scale with with no problems, but once the comp tries to go into NTSC mode (where it squishes it to 640x480) the whole thing becomes ruined. All text becomes illegible and many vector objects get jagged edges.
I have tried exporting from after effects as well as bringing it into final cut pro and using compressor at 2-pass (Best Quality 90 min DVD preset), and no matter what I do the resulting video is always horribly deformed... Any idea what I need to do differently?
thank you.

thank you for your help.
I am viewing this on a computer display. I've been switching between a powerbook and a g5 with cinema display.
In AE I typically use apple animation codec, but I have also been trying it as an uncompressed avi and and uncompressed quicktime. By bringing the file directly from AE to compressor and changing from vbr 2-pass to One Pass CBR it has greatly improved the quality, still it does have some pixelation that I can't get rid of, even at the full 9mbps bitrate.
My understanding was that I wasn't bringing it into square pixels that I was using the DVCPRO/NTSC preset which formats it to a 4:3 ratio (which is what I think Final Cut also is doing), either way, by not doing that in After Effects, and by changing to CBR it is definately an improvement.
One more thing I should probably mention is that the videos are actually programs I have written and so they are being captured using a screen-capture to video utility called iShowU. The program seems to be good, and I am using an NTSC preset.
Any ideas as to what I can do to get these to as good of quality as their apple animation quicktimes?
the dvds I am assembling are only about 45 minutes.
