DV footage looks pixelated
Hello,
I am using Premiere pro 2.0 and I am wondering about something: When I capture my footage which is DV anamorphic 16:9 from an XM2 (GL2) the capturing window displays the footage just fine. Smooth and with fine grain. When I edit this footage in Premiere’s interface, the footage looks more grainy and has some level of pixelization all over it. The final renders are just fine but I would like to know if there is a way to look at the footage as i really is while I am editing. I thought that quality setting on the program / source monitor would have effect on that but I had no luck. I have a stupid Geforce6200 but I don’t think this could be the problem. Am I missing something? because that’s how it looks like.
Thank you in advance,
Theodore

Are you seeing the problems in the source monitor or the program monitor?
Have you applied any effects to your video?

Both in the source and program monitors. I am posting you a link to an image which shows both the source and monitor at 100% and below a part of the same footage frame from vlc player. All players display the footage like vlc in case you wonder. No effects applied at all to the footage, same happens to progressive and interlaced material. I hope this info is enough. Maybe is just me, but I don’t like it the way it looks in premiere. Also I noticed that there is less color in vlc’s output but this might just be vlc.

OK-I’ll bite. What’s vlc?
Things usually look pretty chunky on the source and preview windows on the computer monitor. Do you have an NTSC monitor to view the video overlay? Not sure if you already know this, but you need to output to a monitor via the 1394 and/or an appropriate D/A device to see full resolution. I just use my home DV-cam and an old Sony TV when editing at home. If you are using only 1 computer monitor on your 6200 card, you can output the video overlay to the SHVS jack on the card. Worked with my 5500 card until I bought 2 19″ LCDs.

Well, yes, I use my xm2 to output to a 32″ 16 by 9 crt tv, I just thought it was possible to see the footage as the players see it..
VLC (VideoLan) is a nice open source player with really many features. You should take a look at it 😉Theodore
