Unwanted frame blending look after transcode

For some reason,
When I burn a DVD in Encore and play it on a TV or a computer (anything) it seems to have a frame blending look where if you pause the DVD at any point, you will see two frames blended together like they are both at 50% opacity.  I have no idea why it looks like this. Also, when scrubing through the video in Encore after it has already been transcoded, I will see the frame blending.  And if it has not been transcoded yet, I see no frame blending.
I work on a PC with CS3.
I use the recomended transcode settings everyone recomends (23.98 for 24P footage, progressive, CBR 8, and the file is AVI)
I also played the original AVI file to make sure it wasn't an issue before the transcoding/burning in Encore and it looked fine (no frame blending look).
Please help me out if you can, I am about to enter my film into festivals and want it to look the best it can.
Thanks!

IIRC, En CS5 changed a few default settings. I do not think that those were eliminated, just the defaults from OFF to ON, or ON to OFF were added. Likely one of those settings made the difference. Do not recall if any of the Frame Blend options were in that group, but they could well have been.
Glad that CS5 made the difference for you, and good luck,

  • Looks like a pulldown issue, duplicated frames are baked into transcoded files...

    Have a bit of a messy project atm...this started with a client call on my way back from a festival where I ran large format video screens as a VJ & camera switcher/editor (Sasquatch in NW USA) so I was tired from 5 solid days of work.  I dropped by their studio to examine an example clip…tired and thinking they had a good test case pulled up & ready to look at.
    Well, the first clip we analyzed ONLY had shutter speed issues.  Checking the source file/.mov it was apparent it was shot at a shutter speed closer to 1/1000 than 1/60, adding a bit of pixel motion blur in AE solved that...  In retrospect his export from FCP7 had the pulldown problems in the EXPORTED version of the clip, but we hadn't checked that (we watched the source clip play back and he sent the reference clip with me so I could match the edit).  So the issues that have been in almost all subsequent clips were not present in the initial analyzed file unfortunately!   When I got back to my workspace & the files were ingested it became obvious that there's a bad pulldown at work in most of the transcoded footage.  The client had mentioned it looking 'choppy' and rather than just being motion blur it was a case of duplicate frames.  Bad pulldown removal... 
    MOST of the footage as I have it is ProRes 4:2:2 LT 29.97p  with every 3rd frame duplicated (1 out of 3 duplicated rather than 1 out of 5).   The ProRes format didn't come from a digital recorder in this case, it was transcoded from the source media using a software tool to organize & collect the source media and compressor to transcode for editing.  Since these 2 episodes were left in the editing pile for months, the source files are obviously *no longer around*….
    In the past I've dealt with reverse pulldown issues from 24p & 24pA (where the frames are either interlaced or duplicated to achieve the pulldown) but these all give a 5 frame cadence.  Also when done correctly they don't destroy good frames and leave frame dupes.  What we have here seems more like improperly handled PsF (via HDMI or SD output from 1080p cameras) or pulldown incorrectly applied to 29.97 over 60i/59.94i, or...?   In any case these are destined for 60i broadcast, so simply interlacing them again to create the 3rd frame is out of the question, and frame blending isn't much better than the dupe frames.
    Removal of every 3rd frame which (since that = every 2nd frame) obviously gives a visual "jump" over the now removed dupe frame, and leaves footage has to be converted from 20p to 29.97 which looks horrible regardless of how its done (conformed or interpolated).    Removal of every 3rd frame from 29.97 is actually not too hard, as 2/3rds of the frames are still 'good' it's easy to
    apply a conform to the file headers bringing the rate down to 19.98p, bringing that into AE and creating a comp that's set to 'preserve frame rate when nested' under advanced, then putting that into a 29.97 comp..., that works relatively well but the missing frames STILL need to be replaced somehow...
    To make matters worse, some clips have a cadence that doesn't stay consistent (the repeated frames will 'jump' from every 3rd periodically), OR worse yet there are sometimes 4-6 duplicated frames in a row (???), and then other sequences have only occasional frames repeated (meaning they need to be identified manually by stepping frame by frame).  Some of this is potentially due to rounding errors in the pulldown, but there's got to be something more amiss as is evident by the other inconsistencies...very odd.
    In any case what do to about the 3rd frames that need to be 'repaired' or 'created'?  This is the crux of my issue, and software interpolation alone isn't going to cut it...  Since a simple pass on the entire clip(s) causes vast sections get time stretched (not just every 3rd frame synthesized but rather the whole thing interpolated), I tried going in and setting timestretch keyframes manually (so I could manually stretch the area where the 3rd frame needs to be 'created).  As the software applies motion techniques that obviously assumes the distance between frames in both directions is equal...well it just replaces 1 visual problem (dupe frames) with another (visual distortions).   This has been the case with ALL the software tried so far...
    I've tried AE's native higher quality mode (rather than just frame blending, which will look awful.  Twixtor (demo) in AE, Smoke (autodesk), DaVinci Resolve (Light version but I have access to the GPU accellerated version as well) &  Apple's Motion.  All do a horrible job (FootageFIxing directory examples in dropbox) of handling this automatically, which I expected.  However I had originally intended to simply 'replace' every duplicated frame using the interpolated footage, this resulted in WORSE matching to surrounding frames due to the poor interpolation not matching up well on many frames than frame blending, not better (portions of the frame 'jump' out of alignment with both the previous & following frames, after analysis it acts like a spine with a midpoint that is not parallel to a line drawn between the start & end points).
    So dropping 29.97 to 20p then synthesizing every 3rd frame (until cadence jumps) is where I'm at.  Once done synthesized frames have to be checked and a huge % of them (when there's motion on a person in the scene or camera pans etc) have elements…or whole frames…that are incorrectly synthesized.  So pieces of surrounding frames have to be roto'd & composited into selective areas to 'patch' the portions that get 'squashed', 'stretched' or 'rippled' into position (VERY VERY noticeable).
    Lastly, due to a variety of shutter speeds used the motion blur across frames is also an issue, so once a shot has been correctly re-synthesized for the missing frames it must be evaluated for whether motion blur is required, which brings us back to the rendering process that was assumed at the start of this (in other words final output of each clip may need motion blur in post before delivery).
    At this point I'm left with doing the synthesis of the 3rd frame and 'repairing' the areas of that which distort too heavily, or duplicate (some of the camera pans are done to track high speed motion, birds flying through frame etc)...
    Anyone have any interesting techniques I could try, beyond telling the studio I'm working with that they're hosed (that discussion is coming but I'm going to show best efforts and the timeframe required to achieve that across all shots/edits)....

    Oh and the easier way to removing the dupe frames was just to drop it to 19.984, set (nested) comp advanced settings to 'preserve framerate when nested' and watch for the occasional rounding error when back in a 29.97 container composition.  It would be nice to be able to specify 29.976...
    In any case the missing frame needs to be replaced, not removed.  The visual jump i that gap actually looks to be closer to 2 frames when motion of objects is estimated by hand.
    Also (as I think I mentioned) other clips seem to have even further oddities.
    The reality is that I can actually create smoother motion by doing a lot of hand massaging of the footage (scaling previous frames in simple pans, hand-rotoscoping/masking/compositing in sections of frames around missing ones to synthesize motion in onscreen talent & background objects, things tracked across the screen by the camera and so on.
    But that's a heck of a lot of work and probably beyond what's achievable at present I suspect...

  • Global Switches for Frame Blend and Motion Blur aren't working with the newest version of After Effects 2014.1.1

    I have been using After Effects regularly since 1995. So this isn't an operator error.
    I am on a new Mac Pro six core with OSX 10.9.5 and 32 gigs of RAM.
    Is anyone else having trouble with activating frame blend and motion blur?
    Occasionally I am able to get the global switch to appear to be on. It still won't activate motion blur or frame blend.

    I'll answer my own issue. The global switches actually work. The distinct dark boxes that indicate when the global switches are enabled have been removed and replaced by a light blue outline of the switch icon.

  • Frame blending and Film look

    Hi everyone,
    I'm editing a moutain bike video shot with a sony HDR FX1 in HD and imported as SD.
    Editing is finished and if I preview the video on my computer screen its just fine, but if viewed on a TV it has of course that artificial digital look far away from film. now, I noticed that the portions of clips that have been slowed down to 50% and used "frame blending" do look a lot better... by better I mean, they loose a bit of that digital "sharpness". I also played with gamma and colors but I think that the "frame blending" adds a sort of "softness.
    I was wondering: if I duplicate my sequence, overlap the original with it's duplicate and play abit with blur (or else?) and make it let's say 30% transparent... would that help?
    any suggestions?
    I've seen a skiing video presented on QT website shot in HD and compressed H264... and it has that perfect film look.
    Would love to know your thoughts.
    Thanks
    Ciao

    Ok,
    this is the procedure I courageously undertook:
    1. duplicate of my sequence
    2. added to the new sequence a level 4 blurr
    3. played with color and gamma levels
    4. overlapped the two sequences
    5. adgusted transparency of the copy sequence according to the different portions of clips... some may result too dark. Transparency goes from 50 to 75%
    Result: clearly a less digital look - closer to film -smooth
    Downsides: loss of luminosity - everytime I change transparency it takes about 5 hours to render and if it doesn't look how you want it, you have to add another 5 hours.
    Raises a problem: on TV it has a look and on a computer screen it has another. Consequently you have to create two separate files according to where you want to play it!
    I'm sure there is a better way to do it.

  • Adobe Media Encoder 4.2 update forces Frame Blend

    I didn't really want to repost, but I felt the title and info in my previous post were innacurate (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2576915#2576915)
    In my previous post, I thought Premiere was to blame, but after a few reinstallations, I've found that the update to AME 4.2 causes the problem.
    I've found that Adobe Media Encoder 4.2 forces Frame Blend, even if it has been disabled on each clip of the timeline, when the frame rate of your sequence settings differ from the frame rate of the target format.
    Example: Exporting from 24fps Desktop -> MPEG2-DVD (23.976fps)
    Adobe Media Encoder 4.1 does not have this behavior.  I've reverted to 4.1 for the time being.
    If anyone has a workaround for this, or any other info on this problem, please share.

    I am having a similar problem.  Is it just me or is it Adobe?  I have had so many problems with Adobe Premiere CS4.  It may have also been exacerbated by the fact the I updated to 4.2.1 (mostly in part to determine if another issue was resolved with this update).
    I have some editing background in the Windows Movie Maker and iMovie world, and was excited to use Adobe Premiere, but I have had nothing but problems.
    Everything that I am trying to do, looks really washed out, and renders the video useless.
    I am trying to do what you just described, with speeding up and slowing video to match the computer actions with the person's voice.  I am capturing video using CamStudio and Helix YV12 CODEC, and tried to use HuffyUV lossless compression: using DV-NTSC as the standard format.
    Then I go to compose my video, and output the video, but the video is crap.  It sounds like the Adobe Premiere and Media Encoder are having major problems.
    I tried rendering it to Uncompressed Microsoft AVI with UYVY @ 100% quality, and tried to compare it with Windows Media at the highest quality, and it is frustrating.  When I hear that Frame Blend is being applied, it seems to look worse.
    I am running:
    Intel Core 2 Quad CPU 2.33 GHz (which is kind of slow)
    8 GB RAM, 2 SATA 1 TB Drives WD Caviar Green (a little substandard)
    Windows XP 64-bit
    Let me know there is another process that I am missing.  I don't really want to give up on Adobe Premiere, but from a end-user standpoint, I will have to revert back to using WMM due to time constraints.  I want to take full advantage of all of the editing and effects capabilities of Premiere, but can't because I can't even produce a decent export to be used by any other program (and given that every conversion will in some way affect the quality of the output, I want to reduce any intermediate steps).
    Arrggh!!!

  • Is it possible to partially export a video using frame blending?

    For example, I have a video intro that, after being uploaded and processed on YouTube, looks very choppy. However, if I export it using frame blending, it looks perfectly fine. The down side is that the rest of the video looks somewhat more blurry, as frame blending tends to do. I like how fluid the intro is when frame blended, but I perfer the rest of the video when it's just exported normally. I found an option called frame blend under the clip's video options, making me think that I could fix my problem, but it didn't seem like it did anything at all when I exported it. Is what I'm trying to achieve actually possible, or will I just have to deal with it, one way or the other?

    1.  I export in H.264 with the preset HDTV 720p 29.97 fps High Quality. I would use the YouTube preset, but it compresses the audio to a point where it sounds terrible. I'm sure there's a way to fix this, but I don't know enough about it to do so myself.
    2.  My sequence also runs at 29.97 fps.
    3. The intro consists of several game capture clips all .avi at what I think is 29 fps. Many of the clips are sped up to at least 200%.

  • Frame blending not blending propperly

    Problem is this:
    A clip is slowed to 20% with frame blending enabled. However, when it's played back, it looks jerky, as though there were a problem with the frame rate.
    The clip is MPEG4, 30fps. The sequence is also set at 30fps.
    This is what it looks like:

    Any help would be awesome!
    Thanks!
    Ben

    I've actually been having this exact same problem for about a half year now (ever since Apple released a past update to Final Cut Pro and frame blending started behaving weird after that.) The bummer part is that all the NEW videos I've made after the update, using frame blending, work great and blend beautifully. But all the videos that I started working on before the update stutter miserably.
    The biggest problem is that I have one project in particular (a 6 minute music video) that literally took me about a month to make and it's FULL of slow-mo shots with frame blending and it would have taken me FOREVER to re-capture the footage and start a new project with the updated FCP architecture.
    I feel like there has to be a really simple solution, like a field is off or the FPS is off or some little thing that got messed up in the update that I just need to switch back but I haven't the foggiest what it is and I haven't been able to track down any good info on google about this yet.
    My "solution" for now (if you want to call it that) is to just take Frame Blending off of all 135 slo-mo shots (which makes it look WAY less smooth, but it's better than constant stuttering). I never posted anything about this in the past because I was always expecting apple to finally release a fix but nothing has ever come out.
    Any ideas would be welcome.

  • Question on Whether to Check Frame Blending & Use Previews in AME

    Hi, When I export a project for transcoding, there are 3 boxes at the bottom of the menu selctions. One is "Use Maximum quality." I ckeck that. I am unsure as to whether I should check, "Use Previews," and of "Use Frame Blending?" I am encoding Mpeg 2, 1080p, Max quality, 80 frame rate.
    Thanka Roman

    "Use Previews"
    No. That's only if you want to use rendered previews as the source for your encodes. About 99.99% of the time, you don't want that; it will result in lower quality exports, as you're using "precooked" files.
    "Use Frame Blending?"
    Depends. This is a global switch that you may or may not want to use when your export has a different frame rate that your source sequence/footage. It forces frame interpolation (blending) using two or more discrete frames to create new frames. The exact times you'd want this vary depending on your destination and preferred output look.
    The help docs say this about Frame Blending:
    Select Use Frame Blending to create smoother motion
    by blending adjacent frames when output frame rate doesn’t match
    input frame rate.
    Smoother motion, yes. Blurry video, sometimes.

  • Video Quality After Transcoding Disappointing In CS4

    To All,
    I am new to Encore so my situation may be as a result of my ignorance.  I have come to appreciate HD video so I purchased a Hauppauge HD PVR to capture programs in HD.  I have captured multiple HD video clips in a .mp4 format. I bring those clips into Premier Pro CS4 and when viewing them individually, they look great - crisp, clear video that looks fantastic.  Once I have put my video together (consisting of several clips that is about 1 hour long total), I then select Adobe Dynamic Link and send the project to Encore to burn onto a 25GB blu-ray disc.  I have tried 2 or 3 different settings in Encore and the result is a video that is 1920 x 1080 full screen but the video quality is disappointing.  It's as though a "soft filter" is used in the video effectively taking away the crisp, clean video I see in the original clips I imported into Premier Pro - the very thing I have come to love about HD (ex: beads of sweat on faces, seeing individual strands of hair on someones head, etc.).  Am I being unrealistic to expect the same quality video after being transcoded in Encore that I see in the individual clips I originally inported into Premier Pro or I am I just doing something wrong?  Thanks for the help in advance!

    It sounds like you are familiar with Encore.  Let me ask this general question.  Can one expect to achieve the same video quality after transcoding in Encore as the video originally imported or is some loss inevitable?
    Actually, this should answer both questions.
    What happens first is that your capture device/card will compress the signal originally. You then Import this footage into PrPro for editing. It will not be edited in it native format, as it is compressed and is also GOP (Group of Pictures) format, i.e. there are not real Frames to edit. These must be created for Frame editing. Now, you're working pretty much in a good replication of your initially compressed files. Here comes the problem: you now wish to Export to a BD. You need to re-compress and Transcode this material in PrPro to a format that can be used on a BD player. A second compression and Transcode will need to take place.
    As an example, lets use FAX machines and desktop printers. You create a document in Word and print it out with your 1200 dpi desktop printer. This is a pretty high quality document. It's like the HD TV signal. Next, you run your original document printout through your copy machine. This still looks pretty good, but not up to the original. This is what your capture card has now produced. Then, you take that copy and FAX it to a friend. It now starts to show degradation. This is like that second compression and Transcoding.
    Not sure what a better workflow would be for HD TV capture.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Frame Blending is Causing Stuttering

I never posted anything about this in the past because I was always expecting apple to finally release a fix but nothing has ever come out.
    As a side note, the stuttering only happens once you render the effect. It looks wonderful in the preview. But in order to export it in any way shape or form (whether to Motion or as a video file), FCP needs to render it - at which point it goes wacky.
    Does anyone know any things I could try? Like maybe a way to adjust the source file that all the clips are cut from? (all the clips come from one big DV file)
    Any ideas would be welcome.

    Okay so here's what happened. First I tried the de-interlacing filter... but no luck. So then I tried the Field Shift Filter in the Video Filters menu, in both +1 and -1 modes... but no luck. Then I thought I'd try re-ripping the .dv file from the clients original DVD (the only reason I never did this in the past is because it originally worked when I made the video. It was only after an apple update that I remembered it no longer working correctly.)
    Not really thinking it would make a difference, but following your advice none the less, I recaptured the video and... it WORKED! 6 months it's been doing this, and to think all I had to do was re-capture. One weird thing it's doing now though is the upper letterbox border is "fluttering" at around 30 times a second. My guess is that the letterbox is slightly higher on one field then the other, but that I can just fix with a little minor cropping of the top line of pixils. At least the slow-mo's are nice and smooth again.
    That Hobbes face is very fitting... as I feel like that's the face he'd be giving me right now.
    Thanks for giving me all the great ideas Patrick, YOU ROCK!

  • What is "frame blending" really?

    I can't figure out what "frame blending" is supposed to be. The fact that it's a *checkbox* makes it even stranger. It's either on or off. How does this differ from "motion blur" (is it just a synonym?) and why is it not an effect you put in the timeline but a boolean on/off option when exporting?
    I did read the pop-up summary when hovering the option. It does explain it somewhat, but doesn't really answer my questions.

    silly people with a silly request.
    Heh, heh. I was one of them. (We're talking back in 2007.) I didn't like the default (particularly for what I was doing at the time), and I think it was not possible under some conditions to avoid it.
    Example: some slow-mo benefits from interpolated frames and a bit of blur. But when you are looking to get crisp looks in between, you don't want frame blending. And for some animation subjects (think import from After Effects) it was a problem. Sorry; don't remember now why it was not as simple as turning it off. Like lots of things now, I'd like a toggle to control the default (on or off).

  • Frame Blending Not Respecting "Anchor" Frames

    I have a QT movie.  It is 24 fps.  If I drop it into a 48 fps comp and step thru one frame at a time each frame repeats twice.. makes sense (A-A-B-B-C-C).  But if I turn on Frame Blending (both Modes) not only does the repeated frame get re-created (A-AB-B-BC-C-CD) from interpolation but the KEY frames get altered too ... what's going on?  Why is that?  Shouldn't the Key frames - the 'real' frames be unchangeable anchors?  48 is twice 24 so those shouldn't be getting blended at all in the first place.
    I've tried Time Remapping instead of a higher frame rate comp and also the Time Stretch flyout to 200% - each gives me the same results.
    Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
    Marc

    Honestly, that doesn't jibe with me.  Even if it looks 'backwards'  ...  take the B for instance in my example ...  the previous frame generated would just get it's info from A making AB before B.  But I digress - it is what it is but I SWEAR I've generated 60i fields from 30P without altering the Key frames in the past.
    But something you said started me thinking.  Twixtor.  I don't have a few hundred bucks for Twixtor so that was out.  But when I picked up Mark Christiansen's book he mentions in his discussion about frame blending that while After Effects doesn't come with Twixtor it DOES come Timewarp from RE:Vision so I looked into that...
    and it worked.
    There's a teeny tiny button called, "Build From One Image" that keeps the Key frames whole and makes AB frames in between as I would expect.  (See!  I'm not the only one who thinks it should work like this. .. ... they made it a FEATURE!)
    So I got what I was looking for with Timewarp.
    Thanks to Mylenium for the Twixtor hint and Mark for his great reference book.

  • Frame Blending

    I have two questions. First, I am about to export a film with some slow motion in it. Will it be detrimental if I frame blend the entire film upon export or should I go ahead. If not, I could export the slow motion parts with frame blending and put them back in. Just wondering what's best.
    The other question relates more to pixel blending. We have used the de-noiser very heavily on some shots causing a blurry static flutter in them. I was hoping frame blending might help that, but it appears to me it doesn't apply to anything but time adjustment. Any ideas on how to alleviate that flutter?

    which de-noiser effect are you using? if its causing a side effect, then it would be better to use another de-noiser, rather than try to fix a problem it creates.
    premiere has no real slow motion effect. it will either duplicate frames or frame blend. neither are good options for todays fast refresh rate monitors. if you still want to use frame blend, you can select the slow-mo clips in the timeline and right click to turn on frame blend just for those.  if you have access to after effects you can try the one in there, or look at third party plugins like twixtor.  if you shot high fps like 60, you can then slow mo that footage and premiere will have frames to work with, and wont need frame blend.

  • Frame blending help

    hi,
    could someone explain to me what 'frame blending' actually does when slowing a clip down?
    which is smoothest with with or without?
    thanks in advance

    could someone explain to me what 'frame blending' actually does when slowing a >clip down?
    If you want a clip to play for 4 seconds that is only 2 seconds long, you will need extra frames, duplication adds the new ones.
    Frame blending does more than a straight duplication, it uses the before and after frames to create intermediate frames and will give a smoother look, but sometimes a little unatural in appearance.
    Try turning it off if you don't like the look.

  • 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
    Image Size: 1920 x 1080
    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
    Frame Rate: 25 fps
    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. 
    Regards
