Premiere pro is pixelating my footage
Ok, what am I doing wrong!? The image in my program monitor is far more pixelated than the original clip. What am I doing wrong!? See this picture below for a direct comparison. (The image is zoomed in at 400%).

Hi Kieran,
Your program is definitely zoomed in more, which means you may be scaling the footage?
Can you post a couple of screenshot showing your sequence showing and footage settings?

Hi Vince,
thanks for your response. Here are some more screenshots:

Now I’m seeing what you are talking about, and your sequence settings are fine. I think that’s probably an effect of rendering the sequence and your preview format. Enable the work area bar (Top right menu in your sequence panel). Make a small work area and delete the preview render files in your work area. Any difference in the non rendered area?
The next step would be to check if those artifacts are showing up in your export and are they showing up without any effects or layers above?

Yes! Once I delete the render, it is no longer pixelated. But as soon as it’s rendered, it becomes pixelated again. How do I fix this? THANKS

With AVCHD, you don’t have much of a choice. If you change your sequence editing mode to custom and keep the same setting, you could choose Prores instead as a preview file format.
Not sure what version you are on, but that could also be related to the mp4 export bug that popped up in CC 2014 and they are working on a fix for that.
Edit: It looks like a fix was made for the export bug: https://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2014/07/adobe-media-encoder-cc-2014-0-1-update.html
