Wrong pixel something something

[Jeff Pulera]

Hi Jimmy,

It is easier to help you if you tell us what the issue is 😉

I’ll assume that maybe you want a 16:9 widescreen aspect, in which case you should export at 640×360 and not 640×480.

Hope that helps

Well it’s strange the clip itself is actualy 640×480
but when I export it with Media Encoder and have the same nubers it looks like there’s a pixel wrong somewhere as shown in the pic i linked.
It dont look like that at all when I work on it in Adobe Premiere CS3.
The only time it looks bad like in the picture that’s when I choose “fit” in the preview window. But that should not affect am I right?
I have tried export with those settings set on 1oo% but still looks unsharp

Hi Jimmy,

I see now that you are referring to the stair-stepping issues (jaggies). When you export, is “De-interlace” checked in the settings? This might cause the issue you’re seeing, especially if the video was non-interlaced to begin with. Uncheck that if so.

Thanks for the help!

My NEW question now is where do i find that in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3?

Going from memory here – in Export Settings, look under the VIDEO tab, if not there then somewhere in Export Settings, look for “Deinterlace” and uncheck box. Just thought of another thing – you may see option to export as Interlaced (Upper or Lower Field) or Progressive.

Maybe there is no Deinterlace button in CS3. In that case, look for Fields – should have option of Upper, Lower, or Progressive. Any time you export for the web, you will want Progressive (non-interlaced), since computer displays are all progressive.
