  • Premiere Pro bad quality in exporting

    Posted by William Tael on August 24, 2013 at 3:17 pm

    I need to put an audio track with another language that differs from the original audio track of the video.
    So i heard of Adobe Premiere Pro and i’ve download it.
    I’m completly new to Premiere, but i’ve done the editing of the audio track perfectly.
    I knew i would have to export the video with the same parameters to see a good result.

    But it was ugly, full of image blocks.

    The specifications of the original video are as follows:

    The specifications from the audio file are not important as the audio is excellent even after the export.

    I’ve set the parameters to almost the same as the original file.

    I do use the same amount of MBps in bit rate (and maximum bit rate)as the original file (or more).
    I use the same level of h.264 (4.0), and i’ve tried 4.1, 5.0 and 5.1 as well
    (i don’t know if levels change anything).
    I use the same scan type (i don’t know what it does).
    I use the same FPS as the original file.
    I use the same resolution of original file.
    I use the same bit depth.
    The same frame rate mode (i’ve tried CBR, VBR 1 and 2 pass).
    And i use the options of “use render at maximum depth” and “use maximum render quality”.

    But the output video still pretty ugly!
    I don’t understand why.
    Did i’ve done something wrong? I’m i missing some parameter?

    I appreciate any help.
