WMV, MP4 is low quality after rendering.

I have an AE template that I downloaded from youtube where all I had to do was change the logo and render it out. I want to render it in WMV or MP4 because the file size would be small but when I render it out, the file is small but the quality is terrible. Only when I render it in AVI is when it looks like it's supposed to: 1280x720 HD. The file size is over 1GB. Is there something I'm not doing when rendering in WMV to get the HD quality? Thanks.
THIS IS WHAT I MEAN:

Mylenium's right about beginning at the beginning. If you don't know about the basics, you can get hosed even when working with templates. And here's the beginning:

After a while, one important thing you'll learn is that the terms "high quality" and "small file size" are mutually exclusive in AE.

Premiere Degrading Quality (after rendering) of Animation Codec mov's and 4444 Codec mov's, which were made from SWF files, originally exported out of After Effects

I am making a cartoon, which was created in FLASH,
Then the SWF's were put into After Effects and exported out as MOV's. (I've tried both AppleProRes4444 and Animation codecs).
Then I put those Mov's into Premiere. Everything looks crisp until I render. Once rendering is done, the video quality degrades. Here's a screen shot of Premiere:
On the left is the source MOV (exported from AE), on the right is the timeline viewer (after rendering). The quality on the right is degraded. Help?
If I use MP4 versions, exported out of Flash, through Media encoder, quality is not degraded.
(Read on for additional info)
It was easy and quick to create my MOV's out of AE, which is why I did it this way. I'm exporting to MOV's so I can edit quicker in Premiere. I find editing to sound in AE really difficult, and I don't edit in Flash (employees provide SWF files to me).
Here is sequence settings in Premiere (these setting were created by dragging an MOV into the sequence and choosing "change settings" to match clip settings.
Help? Please?

Hey, need help concerning movie quality after rendering;

I'm working with PE7 and Windows XP. I try to insert to my movie vob file (decrypted from my DVD) wchich quality is really perfect what I can see it on any player. As soon as I import this file to PE7 the quality, even after rendering, is terrible low . I mean it is not "smooth" and you can see many single pixels on the monitor. Interesting is: some parts of file is good as oryginal some bad with pixels. Where is a problem: settings, hardware or may be something different ??

PiSzcze
Have you saved the VOBs ripped from your DVD-VIDEO and saved them to your computer hard drive and then are bringing them into Premiere Elements Get Media/Files and Folders? Or, are you following the recommended procedure of placing the DVD-VIDEO DVD disc in the DVD burner drive tray and using Premiere Elements Get Media/"DVD (Camcorder or PC DVD Drive") and the Media Downloader to do the job?
Either way, some people get excellent results. Others do not. For those do not, the remedy is converting the VOBs to DV AVI with the free download MPEG Streamclip
http://www.squared5.com/
and then bring the DV AVI version into Premiere Elements via its Get Media/Files and Folders.
Have we determined that your Premiere Elements project preset (new project dialog) = NTSC DV Standard or Widescreen or the PAL counterpart? And, have we determined that you export will be as NTSC Standard or Widescreen or its PAL counterpart?
The answer is 99.99999999% in that MPEG Streamclip software conversion.

Upgraded to CS5.5. Images in Indesign are displayed in lower quality after being saved in PS

Hello,
i upgraded to the Creative Suite 5.5 today and detected a strange behaviour. I work on a document which has been generated on another system with an older version of the Creative Suite. Everything is
fine until i open and save one of the images which are used in an Indesign-Layout in Photoshop. After doing this the saved image is displayed with lower quality than before while all other pictures
remain at the same preview quality level. Of course i can change to »Überdruckenvorschau – maybe overprint preview« (Sorry - i do not know how this is named in the english version) or change to the high quality view but
this is a little bit too much for working.
Do you have any ideas?
thank you so much,
tm

I suspect the old High Quality preview was retained (like the text layout will be retained on a converted file until you touch the story in some way, at which point it will be recomposed using the new text engine) and when you replaced the image a new prview as drawn using the current view settings.
Enable High Quality Display if that's the view you want.

Premiere export - low quality after upgrade

The only thing that I remember changing was that I updated Premiere and a few other Adobe programs from Creative Cloud. The next day I tried exporting the same video with the same export template, and the quality went from perfect to terrible. The video looks incredibly compressed and low res even though I export it to 1080p, 2-pass 50mbit h.264 variable bit rate.
The ONLY thing that has changed is that I updated the program. After FX and a couple others as well. But every single video I try exporting looks terrible with h.264. I got it to look decent when exporting to some Quicktime format, but I need the standard h.264 compression.
Did my codecs gets corrupted or something during the update? I actually installed Premiere CC just now and uninstalled Premiere CS6 to see if that would help but it's giving me the same issue.

I've discovered the culprit.
Somehow, the latest update to Premiere Pro CS6 and also Premiere CC have a weird thing going on when exporting to h.264 using the settings I've posted above, namely the VBR 2-pass thing.
When Premiere Pro CS6 is updated to the latest version or Premiere Pro CC, it gives me what I mentioned above. However my older version of Premiere Pro CS6 (version 6.0.3)) doesn't give me this issue and is working fine. I've checked this on two systems so it's got to be some bug.
By the way, the file size is WAY, WAY smaller when it exports to that compressed/blocky look. It's like the VBR thing isn't working right.
I already edited some stuff in the CC version (about 10 videos) so I won't be able to export them in that format until this is fixed. I guess I need to report this bug to Adobe somehow unless the staff sees this post.

Very low quality after using OCR

Hello,
I am using OCR in a couple of documents which have tables I want to export to an excel document. The issue is that the letters after using OCR, are hardly legible. Hence, the text is not well detected and I can´t reply it on the excel document.
Thank you very much.
Kind regards,
Hugo Hernández

Hi Hugo_16,
I would recommend you to use High quality scan settings while scanning the document and then try running OCR again on the same document.

DVD plays at lower quality after building to dvd out of encore?

Hi All
I shoot DSLR HD video, edit in Premier Pro CS6, Dynamic Link to Encore CS6 where I build my dvd menu's ect. and export/build to DVD. But when playing the DVD back on a DVD player the quality seems quit lower than the original footage as well as softer, almost as if a soft focus was applied. When the subject or person in the video makes fast moments there seems to be motion blurr as well even when I shoot at faster shutter speeds.
I know I can get way better output quality but can't seem to it done.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hi Ann,
As true as your statement is, would it not then render a good quality 720x480 DVD format, even by DVD standards as your parent file was 1920x1080p. When I look at other DVD's shot and edited the same way as mine I still see a big quality difference, theirs being better render than mine.
Then you look at a DVD that you would rent from your local DVD shop, the qualities great. Even the indie films made on a low budget and DSLR's or season 5 of House
(that to my knowledge was also shot with Canon 5D's) the qualities excellent. How do they manage to scale down to 720x480 but still keep the quality?

Poor video quality after rendering or publishing iMovie video - Problem?

After completing production of an iMovie video and then publishing it, the video quality is absolutely horrible. Is the normal or am I doing something wrong?

I hope the iMovie programming team at Apple is READING THESE POSTS, plus the other threads complaining of the lousy quality that results when interlaced video (480i or 1080i) is imported into iMovie '09 (even with all the recent updates). Various folks and e-book authors have posted workarounds, but these are cumbersome and defeat the entire purpose of iMovie -- which should be a simple and elegant video editing solution. Millions of users have interlaced video which they would like to edit (for you novices, you're affected if your video was shot on mini-DV tapes, or the HDV format -- plua many other non-tape formats also use interlaced video, so check your camera's specs).
Apple, PLEASE ADDRESS THIS GLARING FLAW in iMovie '09. It's absurd that iMovie 6/HD, which worked flawlessly with DV and HDV footage, is no longer supported. IMovie '09 has many great features, but what value are they if the end-product looks bad?

Poor quality after rendering a shrunken clip

Arggh! I'm reducing three clips of DV footage to 33% scale so they all fit across on one screen (they appear on the screen one at a time and stay there). They each look perfect in the viewer--after reducing them--when I play them individually, but when I render them in the timeline, they all turn a little blurry. I've tried changing the scale by a degree or two, moving them up and down a pixel or two, all the usual tricks, but no dice! Even when I put them in the timeline and don't render, the first clip looks great in the canvas until the playhead hits the next clip (which is stacked above the first one in the timeline) which makes them both really blurry (that part doesn't surprise me).
When rendered, they look blurry when exported to a QT movie and burned to DVD and played on a CRT too. The rest of the project is perfect, even the graphics. This is the first time I've seen rendering footage make it look worse. Is there just something weird about reducing the scale "that much" where rendering will just make it look bad? I'm frustrated because the reduced clip looks perfect in the viewer. Any help is most urgently appreciated!

historically film cameras are 24 FPS ...and broadcast ( in the US ) is 30 FPS...so a lot of what happens in editing is sometimes related to that stuff...
If you shot at 48 FPS and showed it on a film projector ( which is 24 fps ) as " film " it would look twice as SLOW as normal footage shot at 24 FPS.
If you shot at 48 FPS and want it to look NORMAL than you would play it on a projector that actually projects at 48 FPS...and then it would normal.
See what I mean about the stuff being related ??
So if you shot 48 FPS and want it to look normal you can try " intrepret footage " settings...and there are others here who can help you more... I don't shoot overcranked and haven't done what you are trying to do .. but you should stipulate whether you want the motion you shot to look " normal " or slowed twice as much or what ... keeping in mind what I said above ...
hope that helps ?

Crappy video quality after rendering

I have a video file that i exported out of Autodesk revit which has a resolution of 2,400 x 1350. My Premire Pro 2 file is 720 x 480 because I want to be able to use encore to compile the video on to a dvd. When I import the file into premire I have to scale it to view to get everything to fit, but when i export the video from premire and play it on the computer the quality is terrible. What is going on? Shouldn't it be really sharp since im shrinking a larger image? What am I doing wrong?
thanks

im installing all of the software but I cant get the "framserver" to work? Does this work with older versions of Premiere Pro? Im using PP 2.0.
Thanks for the link.

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?

Rendered video very low quality

My camera shoots in MTS format. I converted the file to mp4 and edited it. I then imported that footage into After Effects and when I tried to render the video it was very low quality. I made sure the composition settings and render settings matched that of my video. I tried saving it as H.264, mov, avi, m4v, and mpeg2 non of which were good enough quality to use. The avi format came close in quality for the video but everything seemed to move in slow motion. The audio played perfectly though. I also tried rendering video directly from the MTS file and it still didn't work.
Is there a specific way I should convert or encode the file? I tried some different settings within Adobe Media Encoder but when I brought the file into AE and tried to render I got the same issues of it being low quality.
This is for a client so it's very important that I get the needed effects added to this video. Thanks in advance for any help!

I understand how After Effects rendering works and different file types. I just wanted to try rendering in different formats just make sure I hadn't missed something. I figured something out that came close to the quality I need so I guess it will have to work.
My original MTS file is 1920 x 1080 and 29 fps.
I rendered it with these settings originally
NTSC, 1920 x 1080
29.9 fps
Bitrate CBR 30 Mbps
The file came out choppy and noticeably lower quality.
The last time I rendered it with these settings:
NTSC, 1280 x 720,
59.94 fps
Bitrate CBR 20 MBps
The quality was much much better. It still had a little distortion with a lot of movement but it was much more bearable so I guess that's what I'm going with. If anyone knows of any better settings it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Final rendering of video is low quality and too bright

Here is the link to my original video clip, the video clip in the project, and the final rendered copy all on my monitor at the same time:

Here is the text of each video when fullscreened screened:

The picture got downsised which makes it harder to see the issue,but here is most of the it:
The final copy is lower quality and way too bright. Noticibly too bright. The clean darks turn into rough gray, and the quality is noticibly lower as well. I have checked the "use maximum render quality" and tried exportiing in AVI and MP4, and nothing is fixing it. Any ideas?

First of all, what type of file do you need? If you're looking for lossless quality then I would suggest exporting a quicktime file with the Animation codec or some other lossless codec. However, these type of files are huge and they might not play back on your desktop. But, if you're just going to put this video on the internet when you're finished with it then I would suggest starting with one of the Youtube or Vimeo H.264 presets and modifying it to match your clip. It still won't look as good as your original, but you can't expect miracles when working in SD and exporting to H.264, which is a very lossy codec to begin with. If you want to try exporting to a lossless Quicktime or AVI, then change the settings so they look something like this:

WHAT A LOW QUALITY KEYBOARD!!! Broken after using for ONE day, what should I do????

Hi guys~
I've bought my first thinkpad x230 from lenovo offical online store and recived it on yesterday. I was very exciting when I receive this extreamely light and pretty notebook.
-However, it not last long... After typing a series of numbers, the “5” key was automatically filped open!!! And I can not put it back again!!!
-I can't understand why will this happen in such kind of well-known computer? I have never faced this kind of problem when I using those cheap keyboard!
So, I wan't to know what should I do? I've contacted the tech support, she told me she will submit my problem to some guys and hopefully call me back, however, I didn't receive any call from lenovo.
I've searched on google and found some guy's thinkpad also have this problem....What should I say? How bad luck I am or what a low quality of lenovo? Or both?
Can I bring this poor quality thinkpad to the nearest retailer store to seek for help？ Or I should go to the official service center which is very far from me....
BTW, in this case can I return this notebook for free? Or get a free repleacement of the broken key?

You'll have to phone the service center and ask. (When I lived not far from Lenovo's Canadian service center and wanted to bring in a ThinkPad for warranty repair they said that would be OK with them but my unit would be put on a queue the same as if I'd shipped it in. They simply didn't offer walk-in, while you wait service.)
In the interim it may or may not be possible to reattach the key, even just temporarily, depending on whether it wasn't put on properly at the factory or if it's physically broken in some way. Or you could use an external keyboard until Lenovo sends you a replacement, etc.
I've just call the local service center, he told me that he can not repair individual key, they can just replace the whole keyboard..... How bad luck I am!!!

WMV, MP4 is low quality after rendering.
