Lost video quality from AE to Premiere
Hello everyone. I’m using a Matrox with AE 7.0 and Premiere 2.0, and here’s my problem. Whenever I drag a composition from AE to Premiere, the video images seem blurry and loses some quality to them. The same video plays fine in Premiere, however once I import the video into AE than render them back out into Premiere, that’s when the image goes bad. Are the settings off in AE or Premiere? Or could it be something else all together? Thanks for taking to time to read this and for your help.

My first guess would be interlaced video in – noninterlaced out: you may be loosing half of the information if you’re not rendering using fields.
After Effects will automatically guess and de-interlace the fields for a lot of formats (for example DV), and most output modules default to non-interlaced output.I believe your Matrox is a DV based interface ?
Other than that, it might be an overly aggressive compression, but I doubt it.

You don’t say what Matrox board, what type of footage you are working with.
If you have a Matrox RTX 100 and are using PAL, Matrox has an unusual handling of DV with interlacing – upper field first. Default DV interlacing in PAL is lower field first – is AE interpreting this correctly ..?
If this is the case, you may want either to set up your AE composition to match the unusual PAL DV footage (upper field first), or (less good) get AE to interpret the footage as upper field first, and then on rendering output make sure you also select upper field first …
All best

Okay, I changes the settings to lower field first. Now, the footage looks fine, but once I render it in Premiere, the footage goes into slow motion. If I play the same avi file on my desktop, it plays just fine. So, I think I’m in the wrong forum, but thanks for your help. It’s much appreciated.
