uncompressed AVI output low quality

[Olive Ladeux]

exporting to Quicktime is not an option for me. I need to be able to reincorporate the video in my 3d animation software but Maya doesn’t accept anything else than .avi

Regarding the dimensions, I never had to care much about that in the past ….. until CS 5.5 that is 😉 I had no problem exporting the video in Premiere CS2. Good thing all the computers weren’t ugraded

I believe pixel aspect ratio was corrected after CS2, perhaps that accounts for the difference you see? Can you place the sequence using a standard size preset and see if it might correct your problem? You can crop the letterbox on output in Media Encoder.

Hi Olive
I see your source sequence settings are 720 x 405 Premiere Scales down or up from Original material All governed by sequenced settings,if your graphics are of higher Ress or DPI say 300dpi than you should be using a sequence with HD settings or 3 or 4k under RED presets.These high ress settings will do Justice to an uncompressed AVI file all other export settings you checked are fine.
Remember to tick scale to frame on the timeline this alone keeps the correct aspect ratio
I hope this should works for you.

Can’t Maya Take image sequences?

That might be your work around for now…

That banding has be thinking your colors are not in safe ranges and are in 32-bit float so the 8-bit and 16-bit will be banded. Can you show us the details of the original source footage with all the bit depths like you have been for the outputs.

hum… actually Premiere cs 5.5 is actually much worse than I first experienced. It seems to be doing all sort of resizing to my videos without respecting the sequence format…..

I will be posting some screenshots in few days. Good thing I still have a copy of CS3 but I am now considering moving to use Sony Vegas as CS 5.5 brought way too many problems that no one was able to help me fix
