Low quality still image renders. What are we doing wrong?…
We have a video with still image overlays on it (company logos, etc), but every time we export out of Premiere — using the GoPro Cineform YUV 10-bit codec — the images in the video appear low in quality with fuzzy edges (like a smaller image that has been upscaled), when in reality, they are higher in resolution than the source video.
If we export using either the GoPro CineForm RGB 12-bit with alpha or Maximum Bit Depth variation, the images in the video appear high in quality, with crisp edges — as they should — but all video transitions in the edit are ignored.
Clearly we’re doing something wrong somewhere, but does anyone know where?

Post a screen shot of your sequence settings please.

What happens if you render using the CPU instead of the GPU?

Hi Dave,
You said the overlay graphics are higher resolution than the video, which means Premiere has to be doing some scaling. Take that out of the equation. In Photoshop, make the graphics all 1920×1080. Bet that helps. Even if just a corner bug, put it in a 1920×1080 frame with transparency.
Thanks

Change your sequence settings… First change Editing Mode to DNXHD, then change Preview File Fornat to one if the DNX options. The defaults, i.e. DSLR and MPEG I-frame are shredding your still image quality.

David. Many thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately, this hasn’t made a difference to the image quality…

Still the same…

Tried this as well, but hasn’t made a difference.
I swear I encountered this problem a few years back, but managed to solve it somehow. Just can’t remember how. Very frustrating.
All I know is, the only way I can (currently) get the video to look the way it should look, is by exporting at 12 bit with the alpha channel.

Maybe delete your “common” folder under appdata>adobe … could be caching issue

Deleted the cache, and hasn’t made any difference, unfortunately…
