“Export Media” results in a “flickery” quality
Hello,
The main file I am working with is a full HD .MXF file. Additionally, I am using mobile device videos (Youtube) that look relatively good (and a few others that look really bad). Almost all my mobile videos are .MP4. The thing is, whenever I want to export my project (I usually choose .avi), the resulting video is really bad and flickery even if I choose to export media with “maximum render quality” and “frame blending”. I’m guessing that it has to do with PPro encoding .MP4 into .AVI for the export. Am I right?
- Would you advise me to export media with “match sequence settings” (the result of which is a .MPEG) even if it contains those low-resolution mobile videos and THEN use a converter to downsample the resulting hi-res video to something more manageable?
- Since the “match sequence settings” export option results in a .MPEG file, should I convert all mobile videos to .MPEG to avoid having the export encode them twice?
- What’s the best converter for converting .FLV/.MP4 mobile videos to .MPEG?

are you certain you aren’t having an issue with interlacing at some point?

Yes, I do have a problem with interlacing although it is not always evident. I can’t seem to find a better way to describe the dominant effect .. It sort of flickers slowly, blurring and then “un-blurring” with each frame.

A picture ( or in this case video) is worth a thousand words.
Are you able to post (on here, youtube, vimeo or other) a small export showing the problem you are describing.

What is the format/frame rate you are editing in and what is the file profile you are outputting to?
It sounds like a frame rate mismatch or a frame field dominance flip from what I think you’re describing.

This is an excerpt from a Youtube video with a similar problem..
https://f1.creativecow.net/file/5885/5885_test.mov.zipI’m editing in 25fps.. The file format I exported to is .AVI (PAL DV) with “maximum render quality” checked.

Are you editing interlaced or progressive?
DV is always interlaced-lower field first.

Using this as my reference (https://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WSD69D6B9C-1F89-4c85-BCB3-2C946E26246D.html) I know that I always have it set to “None” under Clip > Field Options. Since I am currently editing in full HD digital .MXF, I don’t need to interlace/de-interlace, or do I? According to the link above, I can set the “Field Order” in Modify > Interpret Footage in the “Project” window when I right click on a video.
.MXF files aside, my other video clips come from multiple sources (some from analog, some from mobile devices).. Does that mean that I need to set the field options for each single clip according to what I think its source is (if it is from a TV then I choose de-interlace and if it is from a mobile then I keep it as is)? This is all a little confusing so bear with me..

Again…what is the format of the sequence…25 fps is only part of the story…HD, OK…interlaced? progressive?
PAL DV is interlaced. If you are exporting to PAL DV, that will be a given. Depending on what your sequence settings are, you may have some odd results…hence my question.

I am working with multiple sequences. In my first sequence (1920×1080) in which I chose to have it match the clip settings, it said “Upper Field First.”
Right now I am working in a new sequence (Canon XF MPEG2 720p), 1290×720 25fps with a “No Field (Progressive Scan)” setting.
Should I conform to the clip setting or should I keep it as progressive? -
You need to set up a sequence that matches the footage.
Dont interprete the footage.
Use the New Item icon or File – New – Sequece from Clip.
Export directly to mp4 for Youtube or the appropiate format for mobil devices.
Do not export to dv-avi, this will not give you a good result.
Frame Blending on export is used when export frame rate differs from source framerate.
Frame Blending on the timeline is used when clip does not run smooth after applying speed change.———————————————–
