Quality Drop After Export
Hello,
I originally posted this over on the adobe forums, but they were useless, like usual.
I’ve been running a youtube series for quite a few weeks now and I’ve been using premiere pro CS3 to render out the videos.
Basically I go through this process:
1. Record
2. Import
3. ExportEverything works really well up until export. For some reason after I export the video file the quality drops immensely.
Example:
Example ImageI do realize the picture isn’t exactly aligned correctly, but you get the just of it. The quality drops a lot.
The videos clips are fimled with the following settings:
Width: 1440
Height: 838
Frame Rate: 30
Bit Rate: 1536
They are filmed in AVI files.My export settings are as so:
Format: H.264
Range: Entire Sequence
Preset: Custom
TV Standard: NTSC
Width: 1440
Height: 838
Field Order: None(progressive)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels
Profile: Main
Level: 3.2
Target Bitrate: 6
Max Bitrate: 10
Exported as MP4 filesThanks in advance,
Nikc-Nack

It looks like you are coming from interlaced footage and exporting to progressive. I don’t know how to handle this in PPro but I had the same problem a few weeks ago. Exporting to interlaced solved the problem. I can convert in Shake or After Effects, but haven’t found the way in PPro.

Why are you using such a weird resolution?

I would ask this as well.
Additionally, you mention what the source footage (video) frame size is, and what you’re exporting to, but what are your sequence settings?
At first glance this looks like a Premiere doing some fast scaling. Either double check the sequence settings (you should, in this case, also be using a custom sequence matching your import/export requirements), or make sure you have you used the “Maximum Quality” checkbox to use high quality scaling on export.
Let us know how it goes!
All the best for 2012!

My monitor resolution is 1440×900. And whenever Fraps cuts out the window header and the taskbar it comes to 1440×838.
My sequence settings are as follows:
Editing Mode: Desktop
Timebase: 29.97 FPS
Frame size: 1440×838
Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels
Fields: No Fields (progressive scan)
Display Format: 30 fps Drop-Frame Timecode
Title Safe area: 20% – 20%
Action Safe Area: 10% – 10%Thanks again, I’m a bit of a PP novice as you probably have realized

This sounds like it makes a lot of sense.
I haven’t found a way to export to interlaced. My export options are progressive, upper, or lower.Thanks

You are quick to judge, you did not even bother to answer to the response.

You might try making a standard 720P sequence and fitting the footage in to that. Premiere might freak out at that resolution and some codecs have their own specs on how they work.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I still seem to have the same problem.

Upper and Lower are interlaced formats. Progressive is progressive. Upper and Lower indicate field priority, depends if you work in PAL or NTSC.

I’m working with NTSC, but after trying both neither seemed to fix the problem.
Thanks
