  Resolution issues with image sequences

  Posted by Joe Pease on September 16, 2013 at 10:42 pm

  Hi,

  I am having a lot of trouble exporting a Premiere Pro cs6 project.
  My timeline is 1920 x 1080 30p

  I have AE comps and 30p footage together. The AE comps are image sequences.

  When I export out, the image sequences become very mushy and a lot of detail is lost in the each frame, the footage looks fine though.

  I exported out at the highest bit rate to test and everything looked good, the only downside is the file size was 1.3 gb for a 50 second video.

  Export settings are

  h.264
  1920-1080
  29.97
  I tried all different low and high bit rates.
  same results except the one where I exported at the highest bit rate

  I have also noticed even in playback on the PP timeline the image sequences seem low res? but if I open it up in the viewer panel the resolution is crystal clear

  any tips I would really appreciate it.

  thanks
  sorry if this topic has been covered.

  I am just guessing, go to the top Sequences-Sequence Settings and near the bottom of the pop up window Is Video Previews with format, codec, sizes, etc. I think this is only controlling what you see and not the final render output quality. Try using a better quality format and codec depending on what your system can handle for real time playback, the preview. If you have a disk raid system then maybe you can preview the highest using uncompressed full 1080p, if that is what your project and footage might be.

  HTH,
  Gary

  A few questions:

  – Please clarify whether the AE comps contain image sequences, or were exported as image sequences. What format was used (PNG, JPEG2k, DPX, other)?
  – Are there any effects applied to the clips in Premiere?
  – Is GPU acceleration enabled?

  There are a variety of potential causes. Please export a short test clip (a few seconds in length) containing some of the problem footage and post the samples here. The requested encoder settings are as follows:

  General
  Format: H.264
  Maximum Render Quality: Enable
  Use Previews: Disable

  Multiplexer Tab
  Multiplexer: MP4
  Stream Compatibility: Standard

  Video Tab
  Profile: High
  Key Frame Distance: 15
  Maximum Depth: Enable

  Test 1: Level 3.1, Target BR=12, MaxBR=17.5
  Test 2: Level 4.1, Target BR=24, MaxBR=36
  Test 3: Level 4.1, Target BR=40, MaxBR=60

  If none of the files looks good, please also create a test clip with the max settings you used previously.
