  • Fuzzy titles in Premiere Pro!

    Posted by Bethan Hughes on November 20, 2007 at 11:27 am

    Hi,

    I’m working on a project with titles created in Premiere, but using images that have been created for me by someone else in Photoshop.

    I was having a huge problem where the preview of the title on my TV screen looked great, but as soon as I put the title in the project it was very poor quality.

    I managed to solve this by enabling the still image cache in the project settings window and thought I was sorted.

    However, when I export the movie it reverts to the poor quality titles.

    I have a deadline rapidly approaching and can’t find a solution – please help!

    I’m using a Canopus card, if that makes any difference?

    Thanks,
    Bethan

    How do your Project Settings (resolution) compare with the dimensions of the title?
    Using anti-aliasing in PS can cause display issues on a TV.

    I’m working in DV PAL 720×576 Widescreen (16:9) and the titles are set up to conform to that setting.

    The thing I don’t understand is that when I play the project through the titles on the TV screen are crystal clear – It’s only when I export the file that I’m having a problem.

    Bethan was the Photoshop text rasterized before exporting to Premiere? if not this could be your problem

    What are your export settings…resolution and bitrate and codec?

    Yes, the text was rasterized.

    I was exporting as a Canopus DV AVI file – 720×576 (16:9).

    I’ve found that by exporting as a Quicktime movie it eliminates the problem with the graphics, but then when it’s almost finished it says “Error compiling movie: Unknown Error”. Argh!

    I really need this exported tonight so that I can burn it for a client to view tomorrow morning :/

    I am wondering if the 16:9 thingy is causing the problem; converting to square pixels in Photoshop, the .psd should be 1038×576. If it is 720×576, wont it get stretched quite a bit.
    Just drawing at straws.
