  Blurry Exporting

  Posted by Mike Mankins on January 13, 2008 at 10:02 pm

  I filmed an event using a brand new Canon XL2. When I captured the footage into to Premier, I captured using an HD1080i setting to capture more pixels. But when I export to a Microsoft DV AVI or Quicktime, the quailty is blurry and pixelated. Have I done something wrong; do I need to change something? I’m kind of new at this and I could really use suggestions. Please help.

  Thanks

  You shot it on a Canon XL2? That is an SD camera and you edited your SD footage in an HD sequence. Thus, you are scaling up your footage. So the blurry/pixelated export is correct. It is doing exactly what you are telling it to. To get around this without having to re-edit, you’ll need to import your project into an SD project and remove any scaling that is going on. On export, things should look normal…SD, but normal. HD will only benefit you if a) you have shot in HD or b) you are doing motion graphics or any other resolution independent projects.
