  • Muddy looking graphic in Premiere timeline

    Posted by Toby Riesterer on September 10, 2014 at 8:08 pm

    We shot and recorded a football game a few weeks ago. We are using LiveText for our live graphic, which then is put into our TriCaster 855. The graphic looks great live on our local channel, crisp and clean. The graphic looks great on the our raw mpeg2 we recorded it as, clean and crisp. However, as soon as I import the mpeg2 into Premiere Pro, it looks muddy, smeary, and some of its cut off. What is the problem here? The image below, shows a split screen. The left shows a snapshot of the raw mpeg 2 with graphic, looks great. The right shows a snapshot of the same mpeg2 in premiere monitor, it looks like crap.

    Hi Toby,

    Check your field settings. You most likely want upper field fist in both interpretation settings for the footage and as your timeline settings.

    If you right click on the clip as mentioned above you should be able to change the field order.

    Right clicked, and upper field was already selected. Anything else you guys can think of. Ive tried converting the mpg to avi and mov and yet the graphic is still muddy in premiere.
