Video Export Is Blurry Only After Editing Video

I am very new to Premiere, but I understand that when you convert a file it needs to have similar dimensions or you loose quality. I am trying to edit an AVI file to cut out some parts, and then re-encode the file as an MP4. If I import the file into Premiere and immediately export it to an MP4 the quality is perfect. I can read the text perfectly. If I edit out any part of that video and export it again the quality is terrible and blurry.
Original AVI
1920 x 1080
Bitrate 10,000kbps
30fps
Export MP4
1920 x 1080
Bitrate 5000kbps
30fps
The only thing i changed was to edit part of the clip. Any idea if this is a bug, or is there a setting change I should look at. Remeber I change nothing other than editing out part of the clip.

Exactly what is inside that AVI wrapper, and what is your project setting?

Blurry photos after editing

Why do my photos look blurry after editing in PSE11? They look fine in PSE and when I view the .Jpeg but when I go to upload them onto my blog, they look horrible and blurry.

I have a similar issue. I had photoshop elements 8 or 9 and made a brochure last year. Photos came out sharp and clear. This year i upgraded to PSE11. I am using some of the same exact photos but when I did a test print, or enlarged it on the screen, it was blurry and pixilated. I made sure the original photo was at least 1MB, most are 2 or 3 MB. I played with size and dpi, they looked fine on the screen but yet when I made a layer and placed it in the brochure, it's blurry. I'ved tried resizing image in PSE11 but that doesn't seem to help and i need help

When is my RAW file changed? Upon import? Upon viewing? Only after edit list started?

All:
I now have a "second copy" made in a separate hard drive when I import files from my camera cards. I want an untouched file for possible comparative "developing" or rendering in DxO or PhotoNinja. Might convert everything to DNG someday.
Asking LR to do this at the top of the Import pane is I assume, creates a copy *and* makes NO changes to the RAW data.
OTOH, Lightroom will offer me the image in Camera Raw to view, create, and interpret my edit/develop decisions. But I have been thinking about this and need to ask all of you: Is that CR2 file in my dated Lightroom database folders a changed file in any way from the RAW file while it was still on the card? The decision to hold edit data in sidecar files plays a part in this, right? External sidecar files means even after edits I can copy the CR2 file and use it in other [RAW]converter's software?

Being a "non-destructive editor", Lightroom does not (cannot) change your CR2 files....with one exception, which is when/if you choose to edit the capture time of an image, in which case the changed date is written back into the file header's EXIF field. But apart from that, it is never ever changed.....all edits are stored primarily in the catalog's database, and optionally you can have them written into XMP sidecars. Having the XMP sidecar would allow you to open the raw file in another XMP-capable Adobe program, outside Lightroom, and see the edits applied. Not sure if other non-Adobe raw converters would be able to interpret all of that XMP info.
For non-proprietary raw files (e.g. DNG, Tiff), you can also choose to save the XMP data but in this case it would be written directly into the files header, not into sidecar files. The underlying image data is still, however, unchanged.

Exporting jpgs worked only after restart

Hi!
What I did:
- Exported some RAWs to JPGs with constrained size. Worked as expected. (Don't know wheter this has something to do with the following:)
- Exported some RAWs to JPGs with full size. The JPGs appeared just for 0.5 seconds in the export folder, den disappeared. After the export, LR said "Error during export. Ignore/Show". No hint what went wrong.
- When I then exported the same RAWs with constrained size 1000x1000, it worked! When changing the size to 1500x1500 or more, I got the same error message again.
- Then I closed LR and started it again. Interesting: I had the same collection of error-RAWs again ;-) Then I tried the full size export again, and it worked.
Strange bug.

Issues with video quality after editing in Premiere Elements. Please help!!!

I am having issues with the quality of video output from Premiere Elements. I tried to combine 4 videos clips that I took (all were crystal clear when viewed prior to combining them in Premiere Elements). The first clip is quite pixelated, the second has wavy lines running across it the whole time (recorded webinar), and the third clip looks crystal clear. (FYI...first clip and third clip were both taken using the exact same settings on my Canon) I am not very tech "savvy". I am guessing it has something to do with the way I saved or "shared" the video after editing? But I have NO IDEA what settings I need as I am not very "tech" savvy! I want to upload the finished product to Vimeo. I looked on Vimeo and followed instructions from a tutorial that a Premiere Elements user posted about how to save the best quality video for uploading to Vimeo, and the quality turned out FAR WORSE than the first time I saved it. Please help!!! Thanks so much!

Thanks for your response John! Do you think my issue may be due to the way I initially "set up" the project when I created a new project from the very beginning? I am operating on Premiere Elements 10, so I do not see an option for sharing online directly to vimeo....only facebook and Youtube. I am combining 4 video clips. 3 of the 4 clips were shot on my Canon EOS 60D, and 1 of the video clips was a recording of a PowerPoint based webinar that we did via Meeting Burner (meetingburner.com). Since I am combining more than 1 video format, is it likely that I will run into quality issues? The strange thing was that 2 of the clips shot with my Canon showed up blurry after exporting/sharing my final video, but one of them was still crystal clear. This doesn't make any sense to me since I did not change any settings on my Canon. I didn't see any specific tutorials on setting up the project to match the video from that list of Tutorial links.

What is the next step after editing or triming a video ? What type of file format to save and what to do after that ?

what is the next step after editing or triming a video?
what type of file format should be save and what to do after that?

In the early days of digital video editing, an export render could take hours! Not many applications are as hard on system resources as video editing, and rendering the final edit is probably the most system intense action of all.
Head on over to the Premiere Pro Hardware forum to see what sort of computer hardware the pros use for NLE (non linear editing), or to the PPBM5 site for a better look.

TA25521 After editing a video clip that was shot in 60fps how do I convert that clip to 24fps for publishing

After editing a video clip in FCX that was shot in 60fps how do I convert that clip to 24fps for publishing?

There is only a limited amount of Compressor instruction available unless you purchase a subscription to something like Lynda.com or a tutorial from Ripple or Larry Jordan.
My advice to everyone who is interested in learning about Compressor is to read the first two chapters of the user manual – on basics and workflows. Those should provide enough of an understanding to cover the majority of things users need Compressor to accomplish. Of course there is plenty more for those who want to explore.
Here is a short write-up from Ken Stone on changing frame rates.
Good luck.

How to take out a negative cutlist after editing on a telecine video?

A film was shot on film stock @ 24 FPS.
I have a one light telecine video of the rush @ 25 FPS.
How do I edit the rush on Premiere Pro CS6 keeping in mind that I don't generate virtual frames (i.e. 24 frames on the time line corrosponds to 24 physical frames on the negative).
After editing, I need a cut list, i.e. a text document output with TCs and corrosponding edge code marks to refer to, while cutting the original negative.
The same task can be done by conforming the video to 24 via Cinema Tools while working on FCP. I need the solution for Premiere Pro.
Thanks a lot.

Wouldn't it be better to get a proper 24 fps telecine and cut that?

After editing video, why did my changes disappear?

After editing video footage in FCP X, why do my changes, as well as, footage, words, transitions
disappear sometimes? AutoSave is on.

Auto save is always on. first what is your version of FCPX ?

BUG: LR2.0 shows duplicate drive after edit in photoshop export

Lightroom 2.0 shows a new duplicate drive after edit in photoshop export. file opens as DNG in photoshop, saves as PSD, and saves to the right folder on the hard drive. But lightroom now shows 2 "drive G"'s(that's my image vault drive letter) The folders are correct, the second drive only contains the edited psd files. display in explorer shows the file in the right location with the original DNG file. This is a random event not every edited file displays under the second drive. I have a total of 6 files (I had more, but I moved my image vault to a new drive and fixed the ten I had at that time.)
Vista Ultimate 32bit SP1
AMD 64X2 duel core 6000+ 3Ghz
6GB 666mhz Ram PAE force enabled
NVIDIA Gforce 7600 256MB video card (1.75GB total with system shared ram)
Primary hard drive: 500GB
Hard drive 2: 400GB (system and photoshop paging files and lightroom catalog drive)
Hdrive 3: 1TB (primary image storage)
user control turned off
system graphics set to performance

No I had to do it manually. When I had lightroom 2, here's what would happen.
1. My external drive would show up, but all the photos would be marked as missing.
2. I would then relocate the photos, which I had do do directory by directory. At this time I did not have all of them under a master directory.
3. As I relocated them, the second drive would show up, which would contain all my directories as I located them.
4. After I had relocated all the directories, I would delete the now empty duplicate - which has been the original - drive.
5. After I shut down LR and restarted, the whole process would begin again.
6. After I installed 2.1, I put all my directories under a parent directory, relocated the parent, it found all the files, automatically deleted the ghost duplicate, and I have not had the problem since.
Hope all this makes sense,
Good luck

After editing in lightroom, i transferred the photo to final cut pro. However the photo that shows in final cut pro is the unedited version and a bit blurry. Any ideas?

IIs there an export function from Lightroom? Did you export? Does the exported file contain your edit?
THe hard drive file size doesn't matter. What matters is the image size, it's dimensions in pixels.
IN FCP press Cmd-J to see the project properties.

Why is it that even after editing a picture under iPhoto, the original picture is still the file that is being exported?

because you are exporting the original?
SInce you give us no information at all we can only guess and that is the most likely
How are you editing the photo - iPhoto? An external editor? How?
how are you exporting?

What do you do with source file after edit and export

Hi
i wounder what people do with the source file after edit, they are taking up a lot of space on my computer. I can hardly bring myself to delete them, but neither can i save them, beacuse of space on Hdd. have thought of, only export those clip you have used in your timeline, uncompressed?

If you don't need them at all, you can delete them. People usually store them in external drives if they need them.

Didn't really get this part. Do you mind explaining this?

I have created a form in InDesign, exported to a pdf, then created an editable form and saved. When I open the form and make changes and save, then reopen the changes are there. If try to email this form as an attachment after editing, the attachment is always minus the edits. ????

Hi chuck,
If you ave created the form and then filling it yourself and saving the form, the filled data should be there when you reopen the same form.
Can you please send the form to me at [email protected] so that I can have a look.
