Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro Preview Video has significant grain/noise

  • Preview Video has significant grain/noise

    Posted by Jason Anthony on June 20, 2008 at 2:34 pm

    Hello, this problem I have noticed is the same as my mate has on premiere pro, so I can’t be the only one…

    First of all, this is not a camera issue of grain in low light conditions, it only concerns the adobe premiere pro software.

    There is excessively grainy video whenever played in premiere pro previews. However, I know this is not the captured footage, because when the avi files on capture scratch disk are viewed in windows media player, there is no grain! This only concerns the previewed video!??!!

    Rendering does not help, and as far as I know the preview settings are on the highest quality. Although I can find no setting to select my graphics card which dissapoints me, as if it isnt there, I want to make the most of the GPU.

    So what is this issue? Is it some codec problem or i dont know, but somebody please help help help.

    Thanks for reading

    So…you have the monitor panel set to “highest quality”?

    Have you tried adjusting the overlay size? There is a button below the image that has options like “fit”, and percentages…if it says “fit” try 50 or 100 percent. Sometimes the scaling is imperfect if it’s a weird reduction percentage…

    What is the resolution of your PPro project vs the resolution of your clip?

    Does the noise appear on an external monitor? If not, I would suggest checking your general preferences and setting the desktop display the “other” way– one way is “OpenGL Draw Pixels”, i forget the other option. But switching that setting might make a difference, as it could be a graphics card issue.
    If you have noise on an external monitor image as well, then that would point to a more serious issue, as that would affect your final output.

    I don’t have an external monitor. I can’t figure out how to change any graphics card settings. No option for the Open GL.

    I have a GeForce 8500 GT 512MB
    with Windows Vista,
    Intel Core2 Duo CPU E4500 @ 2.20Ghz
    3GB RAM

    should be able to handle about anything at finest quality I thought?

    Ive noticed Vista has some problems with AVI files but this shouldnt be my problem as my friend who also has grainy image is on XP.
