Poor Quality Premiere Pro renders
Hello,
I am having issues with renders from Premiere Pro.
I export a lossless uncompressed video file from a sequence I made in AE and then bring it into Premiere Pro. When I do I have the following issues:
1. Premiere pro seem to stretch the pixel width in the preview and render
2. The render quality is very poor no matter what codec I use – even with uncompress renders using the “match sequence settings”
3. Text I create in Premiere also appears low quality as well – very pixelated and blurryI am using the following settings in AE: NTSC DV Widescreen, Pixel Aspect 1.21, 29.97 Frame rate, and the same settings in Premiere. When rendering is specifies lower field for both source and render in Premiere.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Export video from AE as NTSC DV or directly import to Premiere your AE composition. Loosless in this case most probably is uncompressed rgb, which doesn’t support interlace and DV pixel ratio.

Export with a lossless codec like Lagarith.

I tried both of those and it did not make any difference. In fact when I exported NTSC DV the AE render was worse than the original uncompressed render.
What makes even less sense is that even titles are coming out blurry and pixelated when created directly in Premiere – whether in the preview or render.

I even noticed the color is different between AE and Premiere.

– Does image quality look good when viewing the composition in AE?
– What is the bit depth for the AE project (8, 16, or 32-bpc)?
– Have you tried importing the AE composition into Premiere Pro using the Dynamic Link function? -
I think main question is this: how do you preview final export from Premiere? Your indication, that uncompressed export from Premiere (that is: incorrect pixel aspect ratio and deinterlaced video) looks better than export in source codec dv, tells me, that you probably viewing this on LCD computer monitor via some player with deinterlacing filter on. For good start my advice is:
– follow steps in my post above
– make sure that field order is the same in video, sequence and output
– export as dv
– import your final video to proper sequence in Premiere and see how it looks there or even better – watch it on tv -
I think more detail is in order about what it is you’re doing and how you’re viewing the video to determine the quality…
It sounds like everything is NTSC DV widescreen…
Lower field first interlace is standard for that format.
Does everything look completely good in AE and completely bad in Premiere Pro?
Are you using the Premiere Pro program monitor panel to determine this? Does the video look correct in paused playback? if so, do you have the Program monitor set to full quality?
There is some bit of info missing here, but I can’t quite put my finger on what it is…

To answer your questions:
1. Everything is in NTSC – DV Widescreen
2. I am using lower first field
3. Everything looks great in AE and then blurry when brought into Premiere (during preview and export lossless)
4. Yes – using the Premiere Program monitor to preview the video and it is set to full resolution. Looks the same in paused or not paused.Thanks for your help 🙂
