Premiere Pro CC render Settings problems
Hi, I have been struggling with the render settings for Premiere pro CC for months now. I record video game gameplay with an el gato capture card that records at 1080p at 30 frames per second. I then take that footage to Premiere and export it at 1280x720p 30 frames for Youtube. I use the H.264 Codec and I’m pretty knowledgeable in the fields of bit rate and profile. The video renders perfectly on my computer but once on youtube looks like complete garbage on all settings. I need some serious help! I’m I missing something here??

Hi Cody,
Some screenshots would be helpful. My guess would be that the issue lies with the codec used at recording time.
You could try using the Quicktime H.264 setting instead and see if that solves your issue.

Thanks for responding back to my question, I am now trying to export the 1080p to 720p for youtube since I thought this might fix the problem. It didn’t. I have also tried the method you have listed above, again no such luck. The video exports fine but becomes grainy and blurry when put onto youtube. I know that youtube’s encoder sucks, but I’m trying to make my 480p on youtube look good like other popular youtubers have. I still want to have 720p hd but I have seen some pretty good 480p videos, since that is the automatic video viewing aspect youtube shows for each video. Any help would be awesome!

It looks from your screenshot like you are encoding from an already-compressed MP4 — and then YouTube may re-encode that again. It’s better to encode from a higher-quality intermediate or straight from the timeline to save a generation.
Adobe Media Encoder ships with YouTube presets. Have you tried one of these?

Unfortunately that is the only way to record with the el gato capture card. It only shoots out that type of video for you to edit with. The problem is that many other gaming youtube channels use these capture card and can achieve a good render. (youtube presets) I have tried all of them, every single one. None work, all come out blurry.
“It’s better to encode from a higher-quality intermediate or straight from the timeline to save a generation.”
What do you mean by that^^
I have just found a way to get the raw file (m4v) from the capture card, but my renders still come out blurry and fuzzy.
