Film grain from film convert pro 2 in Premiere
Hi im hoping someone can help me. Ive just finished a video that i shot on the canon xf300 and xf100. Ive used film convert pro 2 to change the footage black and white and also ass film grain. Everything looks amazing in Premiere that is until i render it. The grain then goes from a really nice looking grain to what appears to be smudges and almost looks like a really bad compressed internet video.
Does anyone know why? ive also added grain from magic bullet and this has the same effect. Everything looks fantastic until i render or export. I’ve searched the net for answers but with no luck.

Also ive just noticed now that when i add any form of effect before render it looks amazing but once ive rendered it it looks shocking. Ive never had this problem before and im starting to get alittle worried. I havent updated premiere as when i did in December there was a massive bug that effected mxf files. Does anything think that this maybe the case?

What are you rendering to? What is the format, biterate, settings, ect.

I’m exporting to mxf and H.264 for YouTube. But it’s not just when I export it’s also when I just render the timeline. Effects look great unrendered but once I render the time line my footage no longer looks like HD but a really bad compressed internet video

What do you mean exactly by “really bad compressed internet video”? Do you mean pixelated?
-
Hi yes the image is badly pixelated. The fine grain I’ve added has gone and been replaced by a blurry and pixelated mess. The video no longer look HD the clarity of the image has gone. It really is like watching a YouTube video at the lowest resolution.
I just can’t understand why before I render the timeline it looks crisp and clean as soon as I render it turns into a mess.
I’ve never had this problem before.

If you disable the FilmConvert filter, does the problem go away?
-
If I turn the effect off the video still stays the same. I’ve never experienced anything like this before. Everything is fine like I said until I render then even if I turn off either magic bullit or film convert the image of the video stays the same.

Have you tried another project to see if this behavior is continuing?
-
I have tried it on 3 different projects now and everyone is doing the same. Effect looks great until the render. this is really starting to bug me now.

I’m wondering if the sequence itself is a compressed h.264 one, hence the render looking all compressed? Or you’re previewing in low quality?
Maybe I’m talking out of my hat….
Good luck with getting it to work.Paddy, CreativeMedia.org.uk
