Poor quality of video exported from Premiere Pro

[Tero Ahlfors]

[James Huson] “Problem is unlike my previous version of ppro, you can’t select source format at start of new project… other than dv or hdv.”

This doesn’t come into play unless you’re capturing dv or hdv tapes.

[James Huson] “This only outputs 720×480.”

Either your sequence settings are wrong or you are using a wrong preset. You can, and should, change the export resolutionto what you need.

Good to know on the ppro 2014, I don’t remember exactly which version we had been using… it was like a good pair of shoes, that had been worn to the point of fitting exceptionally well. I will check into it. I guess i had just been so accustomed to setting all the parameters at the start up of a new project, and the new editor seems to setup parameters as u import footage. For example it seems to work better, if I import my 1080p
Footage first then my 1920, and set the imput to match the project source. Yet going the other way, seems to be more tedious. I.e. my 720 stuff which is filmed 120fr isn’t meshing as well in 1080p 29. Gonna just have to play around with it I guess. It’s mainly a low budget issue. Have a few nice cameras, a few marginal ones, and the ones that I don’t care if they get blown up, or shot so to speak. Since money doesn’t grow on my money tree.. pretty sure its fallow. I use all different cameras to capture the different source footages. Basically, so I can have full coverage in a single take. I really think it would be most advantageous to just buy a couple of hero4’s and one soloshot 65 to complement the sony and canons. Which would put the def low end at 1080, and make the adjust down from 1920 seamlessly sharp. Reviewed a couple of shots of the monitor I had from past stuff. Seems like the major diff was in the h.264. All setting the same as usual, and 350 more meg per 10 min with new rendering. I can live with that, as it is only about a 20min increase in upload at my bandwidths. Thank ya’ll for ur quick responses. I am sure it’s just a matter of how the software was written, compared to a 2007 version. Quality, is near what I was looking for, with a few tweeks we will get there.

For me the problem is that the exported video from Premiere looks less sharp less clear and with more white color or maybe even noise and less vibrance/saturation that the original one. It also looks a bit foggy so to speak.

My original videos comes from canon eos the video format is .mov, framerate is 25 and the resolution is a full HD: 1920*1080. For the output:
h.264
Full HD
25 fps
profile:High
level:5.2
birthrate: 100 Mbps (source file is around 45 Mbps)

How are you evaluating the picture quality of the exported video? What you are describing sounds like classic symptoms of media player gamma shift. Import the file into Premiere Pro and compare it directly to the video on the timeline both visually and with the scopes.

I actually play the original and the rendered videos in both vegas and premier pro and the one from premier pro looks the words. I am using a few video players to test such as gom player and media playes classic.

Hi,

How did you change/synchronize these settings?! I am having the same export problem.

Thanks!
