Bad video render

Heya,

I consider myself 'able to use' Premiere Elements Pro (Pro) for what I want that is to produce very strange gaming videos. I recently got a new PC and reinstalled Pro (I assume a new version) and have been working on my latest weirdness.

The other day I quickly uploaded a rendered a beautiful clip that rendered fine with no editing and uploaded it to youtube:

Nyx Fireworks - YouTube (just to demonstrate the quality of the game, render, and youtube)

So I am working on a much more weird video about 5 minutes long, lots of sound clips, a few photocraphs. Point is when I render it the quality is absolute rubbish:

I have tried literally most of the rendering modes including the Ultra HD 4K modes as well as playing with the custom renders, same problem. I have also watched on Task Manager to watch the performance as it renders, no concerns there either.

I have created weird videos before that are as mad as this one and longer on previous versions of this software.

I would appreciate a hand with this although I sadly suspect it's buggy software

Cheers

A

FRAPS is like the issue. What's the resolution and frame rate of that FRAPS video?

Your project settings show 1920x1080 interlaced video -- which is by now means a match for your video. So once we know your video's true resolution, we can show you how to match your project settings to it, which will definitely give you better results.

Though, as I've said, screen recording software has a lot of liabilities, so you may want to consider a different program to edit it. And even then...

There is no program called Premiere Elements Pro. There's Premiere Elements -- and there's Premiere Pro. But they are two VERY different programs. Which are you asking about?

That said, which version of the program are you using on what operating system?

What model of camcorder did you shoot your video with and at what resolution? You appear to be using some sort of screen capture software (FRAPS, Elgato), which have their own challenges.

What are your Premiere Elements project settings (listed under Project Settings, under the Edit menu)?

What Export & Share option did you use to output your movie?

There is nothing buggy about the software that would explain the results you're getting. What you've got is a poor match of project settings and video source -- which we can help you with to some degree. (Though, as I've said, screen capture software has its own challenges.) But we need to know what your workflow is ... and what software you're editing with .. in order to help you.

My apologise sorry, I was not aware they are 2 different programs

1. Adobe Premiere Elements 2018

2. Windows 10

3. Fraps

4. The export and share thing is challenging because ive tried so many. Default being: https://i.imgur.com/VTDWluT.png

5. Project settings see this image: Imgur

I am sorry for using imgur for this stuff its just I am not hyper technical and I think it is the easiest way to explain what I am doing. The Maximum Bit Depth under project settings I have already tried off and on, I read that from some other googling.

On a previous windows 10 laptop and an older version of this software I made much weirder and longer videos. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
