  • Animation turns out grainy after exporting?

    Posted by Christian Faulkner on May 24, 2013 at 4:51 pm

    Hi guys, I was wondering if someone could help me with an issue im currently having with Premiere Pro. Im pretty new to the program, have only really used after effects before for making moving videos. So I made an animation in flash, slowed down the frame rate (because flash seemed to do funny things when I exported the animation as a quicktime at normal speed), I then exported it as a quicktime then put it in Premiere to make the speed faster and add my backing track. When I exported the animation from premiere and opened it up to play it, the video turned out really grainy and awful quality. I was wondering if anyone could give me some good tips on how to make animations look really crisp when exported as a quicktime? Sorry if all of this sounds pretty stupid, am pretty new to a few programs which I am just trying to get used to!

    Thanks!

    What codec did you use to render from AE? If you have not, try the animation codec or a high quality Prores. then import that file into PrPro.

    (edit)
    I just reread your OP and realized you were speaking of exporting from PrPro.
    Before anyone can offer any practical advice you should share your sequence settings and your workflow with settings you used in AME

    Which quicktime preset? There are many.

    YOu say through Premiere, did you Adobe Media Encoder? What is your deliverable (final destination)? that will really determine your encoder settings.

    I think I used NTSC DV? I want it to be viewed on Youtube and just on a laptop screen in my uni studio? Sorry for the vagueness, am trying to learn the complexities of exporting animations!

    The start with an h.264 preset in Adobe Media Encoder and choose the youtube setting that matches your sequence settings. Start with the stock preset and go from there for improving the quality of the encode.
