OK my turn…
1. Interlacing problem (high contrast foreground/background generates ants crawling especially in motion)
2. Have some of the useful 6.5 tools/options back (e.g. Timeline measures, 1s, 2s…, selective attributing pasting, )PC

bravov,
if you are using 6.5, most likely you are using the MainConcept Encoder to generate your .m2v file and .wav file. Have you updated to the latest MC codec for Prem 6.5? I think it is like 1.4? Although depends on the viewer’s perception of what is good quality, color, clarity, smooth… various codec produce various results. MC, at least in 6.5, does not produce a good result even in the highest bitrate, in my opinion. I was using TMPGENc for that. There are other programs, such as Pro-Coder… can produce much better results in a much faster rate, some argues. (I hope you are not encoding the exported .m2v again via the burning program, such a Nero. This will definitely degrad the quality.) Last is the viewing media, when you say the quality is bad, are you seeing that on TV or on your computer screen? They are 2 different animals.Perry

Your Camcorder should be JVC GR-D30US If so, it has the capability of DV in and out.

Dan,
if it is the blur/interlaced problem that Steve is talking about, it is because Premiere does not handle certain pictures well, especially those who high contrast backgrounds. When you use motion and you say it is jumpy, do the jumps happen in preview mode or after render mode or both or on external monitor? If it were the former, then, it is likely that you system is not able to catch up. If it were in external monitor, then, it is 6.5 does not produce smooth motions. Image pan gets you closer to what is acceptable, but takes a lot of system resources / render time. RT preview may not be possible.Hope this help.

You mean the lower third banners (“the image”)? If you just want simple square, eclipse, circle or something like that kind of shape, use the shape tool, create the background color, set the transparency (options in the right side of the titler window) If you want something more complicated, then you need to upgrade to Pro or buy other programs. Yes, you can do the lower third banners in any image program and export with alpha channel as well, I believe, and import into Premiere. (I am not sure 6.0 support image import w/ alpha or not, however, but you can certainly import as another layer. Well, I hope you understand what I am telling you, cause I am not in front my pc and therefore, some “words/terms” might not be used right.

The capture that you shows is just a simple title, but if you are wanting to have the word craws in, then that can be done in Prem 6.5 titlers as well, you just need to play around with the options. Open the titler > On the “mother menu” where it has tools > find the crawling or (I forgot what it is called), then, play with the options. I think Mike V. here in the forum has a sample on how to do so on his web site. (Mike is one of the Forum moderators).

What are you trying to accomplish? Perhaps it can be done in 6.5.

Jack,
When everything else failed, try export the so-far-edited piece into an dv avi and then start your project from there in PPro1.5.P.S.: it is always adviced not to switch a program in the middle of project. however, in your case, this may be your only option?
Sincerely,

Pat,
I didn’t mean you are new to video editing system. I meant your computer setup was new, perhaps you upgraded it or installed new OS or HD… Sorry for the confusion. Best wish.Perry

I bet it is the DMA thing. You need to enable the ultra DMA support. I thought this is an existing system, but sounds like it is new to Video editing? Well, anyway, congrad.
