Importing Video Adobe CS4
My partner and I capture video through a firewire port from a Sony HDR FX1 camera to a PC running windows XP, has a quad core processor and 4 gigs of ram and a decent video card.
What I have noticed is when we use Premiere Pro to capture our footage it captures in this grainy
interlaced microsoft AVI garbage. On camera or directly connected to a TV it looks amazing but after importing I guess the footage is getting compressed by Premiere and made to look not so good which makes hard to do any quality effective After Effects rendering.Is there any other settings in premiere I can try for better quality, maybe a project setting that I am doing wrong or a capturing codec?
We normally use the 16X9 720 x 480 widescreen NTSC preset, If there is anyway to use something similar that would be great. We are also looking at stepping up and using the HD portion of the camera soon so advice/information on that would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Kyle,
DV is just a digital Standard Definition signal from DV tape to DV media of which no quality is lost in the capture process from DV.
It is possible that your computer screen is brighter and larger pixel resolution than that of the TV you have watch via the cables in turn revealing all the imperfections of DV which is natively a compressed format.
Which camera are you shooting on?
What kind of After Effects rendering are intending on doing? (more detail please).
