Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro Rendered text unreadable

  • Rendered text unreadable

    Posted by Yunal Sobu on February 11, 2010 at 11:54 am

    Hi everyone.
    I’m rendering a small presentation of a sequence with lots of a text in it. I’ve tried the most discussed presets in this forum but still not getting even a readable results. I’ve also tried different types for the text (psd, jpeg, tiff)- still no results, so I’m running out of ideas.
    Any advice will be appreciated!
    Thanks in advance.

    A picture is worth a thousand words…upload a high quality jpeg to us. Use the “File Upload” button just below the word “Message” in a post reply.
    Also what is your sequence resolution?

    Format: H.264
    Preset:NTSC DV Hq – only changed the resolution to 800×600 in order to match the resolution of the images.
    The only other seting that I changed, is the pixel aspect ratio – to square pixels.
    Thank you Mike for your quick respond!

    If this is your source file for Premiere??, the text is really poor. Below is a screen shot of an H264 video at 720×480. It began in Photoshop as a video preset 720×480 and then into a DV NTSC sequence, exported as H624 720×480;

    That was a screen shot from a video, just to show how bad the situation was, but I think I found the problem – changed the font to Tahoma (find this suggestion in thread with similar problem).
    Thank you very much for your quick help! Greetings from sunny Varna, Bulgaria.

    Hi Yunal,

    You didn’t say how your presentation will be displayed – is this for computer playback, DVD, internet? If DVD, you need to watch the “title safe area” – the text is very close to the left edge and will likely get cut off on TV screens. For DVD/video output, do not change the DV project preset size, if NTSC then leave at 720×480.

    The fonts are pretty small for video, bigger is better.

    FYI, “suply” should be “supply, ned is need, and busines is business.

    I don’t speak a second language, so not being critical, just helping

    I’d also skip the hyphenations.

    Other than that, yes, larger first, reposition, and do check spelling.

    Split it into two pages if necessary. Readable is better than a long time on one page.

    Thanks folks! I really do appreciate your help! I saw the wrong spelling, too (shame on me). Otherwise I’ll apply all your advices and let you know the result.
    Once again – thank you for the time you have dedicated to help such a newbie as me.
    P.S.
    I almost forgot – the video is for computer playback.
