[Kevin Thorp] ” need to submit a 3D animation in QuickTime DV-NTSC format (720×480, 30 fps), but I can’t seem to get decent quality out of Premiere.
My 3D software can save the animated clips as uncompressed AVIs or sequentially numbered Targa or TIFF files. The quality is razor-sharp.”
If you are trying to view NTSC video on a computer monitor it will not look too good, Particularly fullscreen, you are dealing with a format best viewed on a external NTSC video monitor at the optimum viewing distance for the monitor size.
