Well indeed, it is a complicated matter 😉
First, let’s look at what we are starting with. Film resolution vs say DV, or even uncompressed SD.
Then add the noise generated by DV compression. And then add to the fact that a lot of bigger budget movie are compressed using much higher end tools that allow precise control over GOP structure and bitrate at any given time.
Now, let’s say that you use 2 pass VBR and calculate the Min, average, and Max correctly, and that the footage you are bringing in isn’t noisy and is within broadcast standard in levels and color saturation, you should be getting a pretty descent result.

I guess I’ll give away some of my workflow 🙂
If it contains movie files, or very custom animations I would recommend a solid screen recorder such as Camtasia, there are other simpler ones or even free ones out there, but that’s the only that has given me descent frame rates.
If you only have transitions and step animation, then I would go the screen capture way, don’t even try to save the slides as images, that doesn’t work with animations and step by step bullets.
For screen capture I would recommend Screen print32. You’ll have 100 slides saved and ready in a couple of minutes.
After that, you’ll probably have to familiarize yourself, if you haven’t yet, with Photoshop Batch process. It will resize all the slides for you in an instant as well as adding a background to your overscan area. You will save yourself a lot of time by not having to rescale, add mattes, etc. in Premiere.
Hope that helps…

Without plugs such as Trapcode shine, you could try using Radial fast Blur.

You could look into the parametric EQ to isolate the frequency a little better.
The truth is, the hiss will never go away without the frequencies pertaining to the voice.

Got this from here at the cow a while back I think: https://www.kaptis.com/media/web/fractal_backgrounds.zip
That effect is now part of AE 7 presets.Vince

If you are working in A DV project (NTSC DV setting), Premiere will recompress everything to DV.
This is mainly due to the the fact that most people want to preview their footage through firewire, and so everything has to be compressed to DV. You can play the timeline using the space bar without recompression, but you will have some issue playing things smoothly.

That resolution should work fine, although some media players scale up better than others; just make sure you encode progressive.

Could you try copying the clips to a new track and try the fill effect again ?

The best way to convert to NTSC using a software based solution is Canopus Procoder IMO.

To avoid confusion, I meant to say: “…but an 8 minute uncompressed Quicktime (Best to use the Quicktime animation setting)…”
You only real option would be to export to an external HD.Vince
