Why do I loose quality after compressor?

I have quality loss after I use compressor. The file compressor makes looks much worse than the file I export from FCP. Can anyone help?? My project is 1440x1080, and I export quicktime movie as apple ProRes 422 1440x1080 30p. The exported file looks great, but after compressor it looks bad. thank You for any help.

How are you compressing it?

You need to convert your H264 clips to Pro Res (LT wil be fine), Not sure if you can use Log and Transfer for this, probably can with the Canon EOS plug in. Either Compressor or MPEG Streamclip (http://www.squared5.com.)
will also do the job.
When you have finished the edit, export Quicktime movie with current settings and you will have a full quality movie that you can covert to whatever settings you like, depending on what you are going to do with it. Compressor has loads of presets to help you with this.

Poor quality after compressor

I shot footage using the Panasonic AG-HMC150 (AVCHD)
I transfered them into FCP using Apple ProRes 422
My first attempt was exporting using compressor (large quicktime file, roughly 160 GB of quicktime footage) and after selecting the DVD:Best Quality 150 minutes (for 130 min project) the video quality was very poor.
I have tried troubleshooting with smaller files, but can't find any solutions.

Well regular DVDs are going to be SD MPEG2 no matter what the source-- they're all the same codec. That said, not all MPEG2 encoders are created equal: Hollywood pictures are often done with this:

But short of buying that, this is a good place to start:

Text looses quality after camera-dolly

Hi there,
I am working with text and zoom in with the camera- dolly button.
But nearly immediately the edges of the text get "stairs"and it gets blurry.
Is there a way to correct this ?
Thanks for answering,

Ok, I found the "Render Quality"- "Best"- Button

Why do I loose rendered footage from my timeline in Premiere Elements 10, after saving my project !

Why do I loose rendered footage from my timeline in Premiere Elements 10, after saving my project on exit! When I reopen the project, the timeline needs rendering again! Can anyone help me with this problem, it's driving me mad!
Is there a fix, or is it a problem with settings in the program! Any help, greatly appreciated! Mike's Media.

Mike,
Welcome to the forum.
Along with the answers to Steve's questions, please tell us about your computer's I/O sub-system, i.e. your computer's HDD's, and especially where the Project, the media and the PrE Scratch Disks are stored. For instance, if everything is on C:\, or perhaps the Project, media and Scratch Disks are all on an external USB 2.0 HDD.
Good luck,

Out put quality after DVD authoring is less than .mov file that fcp source

Anyone know why I would be getting a notable drop in quality after i make a dvd?
going from HF11 Cannon shot at 17 mbps into FCP. then out to compressor and using the high quality dvd setting.
then when i play my dvd i notice for example jaggies on some objects yet if i look at the .mov file that was ignested into FCP that has almost no jaggies. is there some setting i'm missing?
everything was set at 16:9 1080x720.
I'm up to my pits in information overload.
Someone with some idea or experience please help me out. thank you so much.

Here are some of your options as you look toward HD encoding.
Using Toast, Encore, or FCS 3 you can move toward blu-ray authoring and encoding. In Toast and FCS 3 you can make AVCHD disks which are blu-ray disks put onto single or dual-layer DVDs which is a huge cost savings. Your encoding is limited to 17 Mbps, but in h.264 that will still allow for decent quality. Encore will let you design a complete disk but it doesn't make AVCHD disks - you'll need to jump through some hoops in order to take an Encore project (but it can be done). Here's a workflow for that. As a side note this workflow is for using Final Cut Express - in FCS you have the added benefit of being able to work with 23.98 fps timelines.
Your other option it to move toward digital outputs. You can use something like an AppleTV to playback HD content (it'll be reduced to either 960x540 @ 30 fps or 1280x720 @ 24 fps. Or you can use one of the various media streams on that market now (SlingCatch, Western Digital WDTV, etc.) Personally I'm a big fan of the WDTV from Western Digital. It's affordable (around $100) and plays back all kinds of formats in HD up to 1080p. Plus it reads from flash drives or hard drives via USB. You can encode MP4 files for these types of devices in QuickTime, export from FCP, MPEG Streamclip, Compressor, etc.

Loosing quality

I have a character recorded in blue screen (with a DV camera) and I was trying to key it in Premiere CS3, but as I was not happy with the results I exported a QuickTime movie (Animation codec) to key it in After Effects. The keying result was perfect, but I noticed that the image of my character in the rendered movie was loosing quality; this face was somewhat out of focus compared to the original imported source.
I cannot figure out why this happened, because the imported Animation movie is perfect.
Can anyone help me?

and when I run a preview it just looks like just only one field is playing.
That is the correct behavior. AE ever only displays the dominat field associated with a frame. if you need to see the full res, temporarily turn off field interpretation. For masking work this would be advisable, anyways, but in this case you would also have to double the comp framerate, e.g. 50 fps for PAL's normal 25fps, then for rendering, nest that in a comp withg the final frame rate.

? loosing quality when rendering many times ?

Here is my question: after you have rendered a clip, yet you may want to change some parameters so that the whole clip is to be redered again; sometimes, you do this many times untill you've got what you want, like color or exposure and so on. Does FCP render it again from the original unrendered media or from the already rendered clip in the timeline? I mean, if it's from the original media, you may render and render again without loosing quality. If not, you've got to know exactly what you want from the first time, otherwise you'll soon have a very bad result. Anybody knows about this?

Kevan,
Why would it do that?
For example: you have a clip running at 90% of normal speed. To play back that clip on the timeline you likely need to render it.
You make an edit where you increase the speed of the clip from 90% to 95%.
What possible value would re-using the existing render file be in this case? It is still going to have to calculate every frame and no time or CPU cycles would be saved (it actually would be more complex to calculate the real speed from the render than the original).
It makes no sense to me to have the system work that way.

One of these days I'm going to get back down to C'ville!

After compressor, video looks very bad

I exported my Final Cut Pro timeline using Compressor,
because I want to convert to mpeg2 to burn to DVD.
After it is exported and in compressor, I choose the
Apple setting for DVD Best Performance 90 min 4:3.
The total time of my timeline is about five minutes.
After it is converted, I play it back in the Simulator and it looks really bad, grainy, blurry, like a poor quality vhs video.
I don't know why this is.
Can someone help please.
thanks.

thanks for the reply.
I am judging my video by playing it back in the Viewer, when I add it to a track. I haven't burned the DVD yet.
Here's what I'm doing:
Export from FCP to Compressor (this is a single 5 min QT movie file, that I captured straight from my DV cam to FCP)
my presents in Compressor are: 1 pass CRB,
mpeg2 elementary, NTSC CCIR 601/DV, 29.97, frame controls: automatic, 4:3, Average data rate: 4.5, bottom first.
HOWEVER, I have also followed the same steps on another 5 min FCP project, this one consists of
multiple clips from several different sources, with effects, filters, much more complicated, and it looks great ... with the same settings as above.
Don't know what is the problem with the 5 min QT movie.
After compressor, it looks like bad vhs video.
Any ideas?

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:
Video
Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Data Transfer Rate: 25920 kBit / s
Frame rate: 25
Audio:
Bit rate: 384 kBit / s
Channels: 2 (stereo)
Frequence: 48 kHz
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

Final Cut Express 4.0.1 How do I convert MP4 to a usable format without loosing quality

Final Cut Express 4.0.1 How do I convert MP4 to a usable format without loosing quality

If you shoot in one of the following modes you should be able to Log & Transfer directly into FCE:
HD: 1920x1080/60i (FX or FH mode)
HD: 1440x1080/60i (HQ or LP mode)
SD: 720x480/60i
1080/60p (PS mode) seems to be the default mode in your camcorder. FCE only supports progressive video in 720p50 or 720p60. That's probably why you have had to import via iMovie.
It would be better to upgrade to Final Cut Pro X, the version currently supported. FCE was discontinued over 18 months ago and is not supported on Lion or Mountain Lion.

BI Technical Content datasources not found in Quality after transport

HI All
I am trying to implement BI technical Content for Admin Cockpit. I was able to implement Technical content Infocubes successfully in development box but when I collected the objects and transported to Quality(collected oblects in seperate requests: info objects in one request, datasources in one request, infocubes, transfer rules and updated rules in one request), I am not able to find the datasources in quality in myself sourcesystem even after repication. but the transport for technical content datasources is successfull. The following are the datasources:
       Comment Entry: Released
       DataSource Replica
           0TCT_DS01                     D17CLNT208

           0TCT_DS23                     D17CLNT208
can anyone tell me why I am not able to find the datasources in Quality after successfull transport.
We are on SAP_BW     700   SAPKW70016     SAP NetWeaver BI 7.0.
thanks

thanks for your quick responce. I was not able to collect the datasources so I had to manually input them in the transport request. But it worked.
thanks once again.

Graphics loosing quality when rendering

I´m importing some graphics rendered in AFX to Premiere CS3, and when I run in Premiere they are OK, but after I edit them in the sequence and render, they loose quality. For example, I have some text (orange color) over black background. When I render them in the sequence, the text looses quality, the text definition and the color degrade and it seems that there are two colors in the text. And some weird things are happening with fields too. When I import some footage rendered lower field first in AFX, they run smooth in the source monitor, but when I edit them in a sequence and render, the field order seems to be wrong.
I cannot figure out what´s happening.

In AFX I rendered using QuickTime animation codec
In Premiere CS3 I´m working with NTSC DV
Like I said, chances are your AE export is higher quality than your Premiere project, hence when rendered, the quality goes down. The Quicktime Animation codec is comparable to Uncompressed. When you compress it to DV by rendering, quality can suffer.

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.
Dynamic Linked Clip Unrendered
Dynamic Linked Clip Rendered:
-A note about my settings:
AE comps:
720x480 (containing downscaled HD video)
PAR: D1/DV NTSC (.91)
29.97fps
Resolution full 720x480 1.3 MB per 8bpc frame
PP Sequences:
720x480 (.9091)
29.97p
WINDOWS 7 - Adobe CC
Intel Xeon(R) 12 cores 2.40ghz
Nvidia Quadro 4000
12g RAM

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?

Why do I loose quality after compressor?
