Bad Quality Renders in Premiere PLEASE need help
I am working on a wedding video for a client. I use a Sony HDR FX1. I am only 16 but I have been working with premiere since I was 12. When I first learned the software I mainly learned basics such as editing and went straight to the fun stuff like chroma and AE integration totally skipping some crucial lessons. Now with four years and over 50 videos done I am so confused with video renders and quality. .mov .avi .mpeg?! I don’t know which one for which scenario and I wish there was a huge guide.
The most of what I have learned is:Flash for Internet? But still it is kinda poor in Premiere
AVI and DV AVI- I don’t know the difference?
.mov- Looks great when I render from AE but poor from Premiere and won’t play in 16×9 in quicktime 🙁
I know these are beginner questions but I am deeply troubled and my wedding deadline is in two days and I don’t have a good render quality since all of the 7 renders I have done are blurry, disapointing, and bitty. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to tell us what the final destination of your footage is going to be like dvd? And which version of Premiere you are using.

I am using Premiere 2.0 and plan to use Encore to make a dvd.
thank you

Are you editing in HDV? or DV?

DV which when captured hasn’t always been exactly amazing quality.

You are using an HDV (Hi Def) camcorder…what are you recording?
Are you shooting HD and capturing DV? What are the camera settings for the FW out?

I shoot in DV and capture in premiere in DV. I have never used HD.
Is this what you mean?
I am sorry this questions are so novice. :/

Are you editing in a project with DV settings?
In fact, please document your project settings for us.

You are correct..AE, in general, does tend to do better compression than PP. That said, a fool-proof method for exporting out of Premiere would be to output an Uncompressed Quicktime .mov, bring it into AE when you can encode it for DVD (mpeg-2). Avoid transcoding your video in Encore at all costs (it will probably want to transcode your audio, but that’s fine).
Also… there is a “huge book” with info on all the different encoding settings, it’s called Creative Cow. Keep reading the forums and you’ll be in good shape. In the mean time I’d suggest familiarizing yourself with the various flavors of Quicktime output…Uncompressed (lossless), Animation (compressed) and H264 (excellent for the web) are all good starting places.
Good luck.

Why avoid an Encore transcode? And does the concern apply to CS3 as well?
-
Because Encore uses a default transcoding settings rather than you being able to identify your own compression rate and mux settings…which are available in Media Encoder with full setting adjustments as in PPro/AE.
All things being equal…all editors need to know as much as possible about Compression/Aspect Ratio/Field Interpolation/Frame Rate. Just stick with it and READ up as much as you can. When you start a project, add assets to a project, or are outputting put on your thinking cap, or ask the COW at each step along the way.
By the way a uncompressed QT setting would be selecting QT as the preset with uncompressed, but you also need to specify NONE.
Kepp reading it is going to pay off HUGE IN THE LONG RUN FOR YOU: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_compression
knowing these details will set you apart in an edit even if you don’t know the software.Gravnetic Production
