Question

fuzzy video after rendering in Premiere Elements 2020

I am trying to create a video composed of all jpg's but when I render it, the video becomes fuzzy. There are approximately 200 jpg's in the video. They show up great prior to rendering. Can this be fixed?... I am working on a desktop on Windows 10 using Premiere Elements 2020. This is the first time that this has happened and it is also the first time that I have used this many jpg's in a video sequence.

Am I using too many jpg's?.. I have never had this happen with jpg's that I have taken myself but this video has a mix of my own DSLR and a professional photographer who was also using a Nikon DSLR.

Is there something in the settings?... HELP!... oh, and keep the replies simple as if they are geared to a newbie - thank you!.. .:)

Hi, there, I don't know if you ever found a solution to fuzzy jpg's in your output, but I have a jpg project coming up, and I was getting the same thing. Really bad fuzzy pictures in my output. I went to Edit/Project Settings/Video Rendering, then UNCHECK the box that says Optimize Stills. Then I rechecked the box, and my outputs are all nice and sharp. Weird, but it worked.

Ken,

 

Thanks for the tip.  I didn't know that was there.

I think I remember that the last time this subject came up, the project was set up as "interlaced" rather than "progressive".

Preview rendering is only for editing and making your workflow smooth.  Output rendering is a separate process.  Don't measure what the output is going to look like based on the previews.    

 

For a quick test you can isolate a section with the Work Area Bars and quickly output just that section.
