Motion videos render out blurry

Maybe someone could help me.
I've been creating title bars in Motion to use for sermons. I simply place them at the bottom of the screen. Nothing fancy. When I export the file and place it in FCP, for some reason the Motion video seems to be blurry, and I can't figure out why. I save it as a lossless movie preset in the export window. here are my save settings.
In export options:
Video/Audio tab
VIDEO
Kind: Quicktime Movie
Compressor: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
Quality: 100%
Start Number: 0 (Greyed out)
AUDIO
Sample Rate: 44.1 kHz (Files don't have sound, so it doesn't matter)
OUTPUT TAB
Resolution: Full 720x486
Color: color + alpha
frame rate: 29.97
In my preferences, under the output tab, it reads:
ANTIALIASING: Best
Video Output: none (Update during playback and update dynamically during parameter change are not checked).
still in preferences, under the presets tab, I have my project preset as NTSC DV and in the export preset I don't have anything checked.
I realize it's a lot of information, but I'm hoping someone can tell me what setting is off so that my motion files will be crisp. Also, I just need to make a title bar that i can pull into FCP and drop on top of an existing file, but when I save the title bar it gives me a black background. If someone could clue me in on how to make the background transparent, it would really help.
Thanks all!

First - don't export to get the file into FCP. Just save the Motion project, and import it into FCP and place it over your clip in the timeline on another track. That gives you 2 advantages - one, you don't have to render twice (from Motion, then FCP), so the quality is much better, and two, you get an alpha channel with it.
DV video does NOT support an alpha channel. You can never get a transparent background from anything you export using a DV or DV-related (such as DVCPRO or DVCPROHD) NTSC or PAL codec in QuickTime. This is not a Motion limitation, just the way DV works. If you ever need to export something from Motion and you want a transparent background, always use a codec that supports alpha channels, such as the Animation codec (which you can get by selecting the "Lossless+Alpha" export preset in Motion, no need to go into the options dialog to do this).

My videos come out blurry...

...after editing my videos and making them into quick time videos they look fine, but my problem is that when i put them on myspace there not as clear as they are on my computer, they look blurry/choppy. any ideas on how to fix this?

YouTube will cruch (compressed) your video after it has already been crunched.
If you read this you will understand that there are many variables.

When my video renders out it has a stutter (Minecraft)

I have a problem when exporting a Minecraft video from adobe, and I only have this problem with minecraft videos all my other ones are fine. The RAW footage is also fine and has no stuttering it's not until I export the video that the stuttering starts.

What is minecraft?
Are you doing a screen capture of something?
Does your video use a Variable FRAME Rate?
Exactly what is INSIDE the video you are editing?

Video rendering and playback option greyed out on Premiere Pro CC 2014

I cannot even click on the Video rendering and playback drop down menu as it is greyed out.
I have a GeForce GTX 660 2GB card which should be supported as it has enough memory. I am on Windows 7.
Would really appreciate if someone has a solution how to enable Mercury Playback Engine in this situation.

Managed to fix the problem by downloading and installing the GeForce CUDA drivers as well as updating graphics card firmware.
The Mercury Playback engine enabled itself in premiere after the updates.

Video clips in comps are not rendering out of render cue?

First time poster here... new to the forum.
I previous successfully created a show title sequence using a template where I chose to right click on the image placeholder and choosing set proxy file to the new video that replaces the template image.
All is well when previewing, video files play embedded in the comps, and look great but when I go to render out the .mov file the video disappears from the file leaving only the text and effects.
I figured out a solution about 6 weeks ago that enabled me to complete the first title sequence but am having trouble again and cannot recall exactly how to repeat the solution.
Any thoughts?

I am replying to my own post... different user name because I could not get into my other account.
Two solutions:
1. I found an old text I sent to a friend where I found the previous solution. In the render settings the default box is checked "use no proxies" so that is why the video files were not rendering out. Uncheck that box and you're good.
2. Open the comp in Adobe Media encoder and render it out there... preview window shows proxies being embeded in preview window!
Hope this helps someone new to After Effects from banging their head against the wall in the future.
Cheers,

Almost high def video and title menu coming out blurry when project completed

I have been using premeire elements 10 since it came out and have been happy until this week. I use elements to put together my daughters school performance for archival reasons. I am working on her latest play and act one was fine and clear when completed earlier this week. However, act two is coming out blurry, including the title menu and other texts and the burned dvd came out very blurry. I tried to compare act one and now the title menu preview is also showing a blurry video so I know the burning will be blurry as well. please help as I'm tired of always redoing the edits. thank you

Thanks for the great news of your success. Well done.
Best give the Shake Stabilizer a good workout before making your final decisions. Major consideration there are resource demanding feature
and file must match the project preset before the Shake Stabilizer will work. Here is the link to the Adobe document on the new Shake Stabilizer
in 13. Note its recommendations for use.

The first thing of note is the major change in workspaces going from 10 to 11, 12, and 13/13.1. Principles tend to stay the same from version to version, but
the features tend to get moved, deleted, or changed. As I typically write, it is very frustrating to be armed with principles when you cannot find
a feature that you are used to.
The following are some Premiere Elements 13 video tutorials. Some times a 12 one might be in there. To spot the non 13 ones, look at the headers

I'm trying to make "Stop motion videos" in Final Cut EXPRESS by using 100's of still photos and setting them to music. They are coming out blurry if viewed larger than 4x6 in size

I'm trying to make "Stop motion videos" in Final Cut EXPRESS by using 100's of still photos and setting them to music. They are coming out blurry if viewed larger than 4x6 in size.
I don't understand why this is happening.

Quick follow up, since I was on my phone earlier and am back to a real keyboard.
To access Easy Setup, hit Control Q.
If you click on the blue discosure triangles, a dropdown menu with about a dozen different presets will be displayed. Select the one you want, (Here, I've selected 720P.)
Whatever you select for a preset will not be applied until you make a new sequence. (I don't like to have sequences with different properties in the same project so I prefer to make a new project if I change the Easy Setup.)
Because photo aspect ratios are different than video, I typically put a solid generator of some compatible color on the first track (v1) and put my photos on the track above (v2). Looks better, IMO, than black bars. There are other creative ways to display them. And of course, you could scale them up to fill the frame…but then you probably would have to re-position them.
Good luck.

Rendered video comes out blue

I seem to be having an issue with video rendered from within Premier (Pro CS5) where the video comes out in blue. By rendered within Premier I mean either rendering previews (hitting "Enter" while in the timeline), or by choosing the "Export" button rather and "Queue" in the export dialog.
Still images render normally colored, it's only the video clips in the timeline that render blue.
Everything works fine when queuing files for rendering in the Media Encoder, it's only when I render from within Premier that I get the blue video.
Anyone else see this kind of behavior?
TIA

Interesting findings. I would definitely file a Bug Report on this. This ARTICLE will give you some tips and the link.
This reminds me of a Bug in PrElements, at about PrE 7, or 8. When a Cross-Dissolve was added, there was a white "flash" just at the junction of the two Clips. This could be eliminated by changing the Opacity of the Clips to 99.0%. IIRC, this Bug was fixed by PrE 9, but maybe it's too early to tell.
Good luck, and thank you for reporting. With adequate documentation, Adobe should be able to reproduce the issue in the lab, and get to a fix.

Video looks Blocky, Blurry, Fuzzy in AE (1280X720 29.97fps)

Im trying to make a montage of gameplay I have recorded of myself playing PS3 the files are .m2ts, so im using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 to cut the video into clips so I could then export them into AE (After Effects).
So it can make it esier to work with other than cuting the video in After Effects this way I have all my clips organized the way I want.
The way im doing that is by going over to Export --> Media --> with these settings Format: QuickTime Video Codec: Photo - JPEG Quality: 100
Now I open the rendered .MOV file using Windows Media Player and everything looks flawless nice video quality is not gone.
So then comes the AE part now my clips are ready to be mastered and added effects to so I go into Import --> File --> and choose my .MOV file which I have exported from Premiere Pro
But for some reason my video looks Blocky, Blurry, Fuzzy real low quality which is not what I want I have it set on Full and yet it looks horrible.
It looks like AE is having trouble opening the video properly or something in the settings is wrong but from my point of view the composition matches everything from the clips: 1280X720 29.97fps
Here is the picture of how my video looks on After Effects as you can see the text is wierd looking and in the settings you can see I have it on 100% and Full
This next picture below is how it looks on my Windows Media Player as you can see everything looks way nicer
Now this last image is the settings that come up on AE so that you can see my video has the right settings
If anyone can help me out with this I would really appreciate it I know there has to be a solution out there!
Thanks in advance

I recommend you read this for starters and then work your way through thze AE help, including the topic relevant here.

Photoshop CC Video Rendering

Hi, does the Adobe media Encoder uses CUDA for video rendering? Problem is, when i render video in PS CC, it takes up to 20-30 minutes for a 30sec. clip, only work done was camera Raw filter. CPU ia at 88%, GPU 0% due rendering.

As you see I have latest driver installed so I don't belive this is the problem - something just crashes in photoshop (after the latest update something just don't work anymore).
Like sometimes i can make simpel GIF and sometimes I'm not abel to do same thing with same file cause save for web window play/stop buttons are disabled.
I actually managed to to ger transparent cubes out of it (all 101 of them)- I added replaced illumination texture on each side matchin gwith the material texture,
but now there is no shadows on it beacuse it's basically a light bulb. I belive I just have to doodle with it a bit more and maybe
i manage to get it right (but save for WEB window play/stop buttons still don't work).
I belive there is something to do with photoshop updatet cause i have done some stuff before and it worked well then:

When I add my composition to the Adobe Media Encoder from After Effects, it renders out incorrectly?

Why is it that when I add my composition directly from after effects to the adobe media encoder, it renders out of the adobe media encoder incorrectly? By that I mean the video comes out a little scrambled- parts of it overlap other parts. Is this an issue with 'dynamic link'? Did I do something wrong? I'm working in CC.

I also don't understand what you are saying. What do you mean by "parts of it overlap other parts"? A screen shot might help.
What were your render settings in AME? (Format, Codec, data rate, etc.)
What is in your AE comp? If footage, tell us what format, codec, etc. Tell us what effects were used too.
What exact version number of AE CC are you using?

Why is "Export Video" greyed out? I need to export an AVI (PP2.0)

Yes, I'm still on PP 2.0. I've never seen this until today where Premiere won't allow me to export my AVI with video as Microsoft DV AVI. It will if I switch it to Microsoft AVI. (See screen print image.)
I've re-booted, I've tried importing the settings that I had previously saved for times like this. Still nothing. When I open ANY project, now, I have the same issue. Any ideas?
I remember with an old version of Premiere when something quarky like this happened we'd have to delete the prefs and then re-open the project for the prefs to reset. Is there something like that for this?

Problem solved. In the past, I have actually had Video mistakenly uncheck and rendered out AVI's that were audio only. (I only work with DV AVI's, although it's entirely possible a setting got switched to the non-DV.) So this time I simply panicked when I saw it grayed out and don't ever remember it being like that. Hunt, you are right that even though it was grayed out, it was still checked, so I did a test movie and the video IS there. I'm a bit embarrassed that I didn't try this sooner. I simply panicked. Thanks guys!

Rendering out

Hello,
I am using AE CS 5.5. I created a composition 1440x 1080 that will be shown on closed citcuit TV. Its just animations of various graphics. No live action video. When I was done, I rendered it out, Quality: best, Resolution:full, size: 1440x 1080 etc. I was making it an AVI. Whe its rendered out, the file is huge and plays back choppy. It also plays back choppy when I bring it into Premiere to edit. I know there are some other articles about this, but can someone put it into terms people can understand and have it all in one spot?
What should the settings be so that it can be played back in Premiere and shown on an HDTV?
What if I wanted to render it out and play it in its own stand alone player like quicktime player?
What should the settings be for something that will be uploaded to You tube?
Thanks so much guys!

The answer to choppy playback lies within this link:

Use Adobe media Encoder to make that big ol' file into a 1280x720 file in H.264, which is also good for YouTube, I believe.

Mpg files put into final cut pro 6 come out blurry in Quicktime export.

I'm a noob. I'm trying to make a compilation of mpg files. My students created animations in Blender. I want to put a video together to showcase their talents.
Everything I've tried with FCP 6 and mgs come out blurry.
Mpg Dimensions are 640 x 480. Codecs: MPEG2 Muxed
Should I be working in 720x480?
Thanks

You can't really use MPEG 2 files in Final Cut Pro -it's not an editing codec.
A list of compatible codecs can be found in FCP's Easy Setup menu.
Is MPEG 2 the only export option from Blender? I'm am not familiar with the product.
