Total newbie here. I downloaded a music performance onto my PC. It looked good. The moment I click and dragged it into Adobe Elements Premier it had weird shadows and looked poor. I edited and posted on Youtube. It looks horrible but sounds good. A friend said the .MOV format is to blame...should be MP4. I have no idea!!!! Here is what it looks like:

Thank you,

Thank you for the help! I clicked the properties if the video and was shown this info:

Frame width: 1920

Frame Height: 1080

Data rate 24002kbps

Total bitrate 26306kbps

Frame rate 29.97 f/s

Bit rate 2304kbps

Channels 2 stereo

Sample Rate 48 k HZ

MOV file

9.93 GB

Attributes: A

For other info I will need instruction on what it is and how to get it. I recorded on a Zoom Q2n, I believe at just 1080. Like I said the file on my desktop looks great. The moment I load into into Adobe Elements Premier 10 is when is starts to degrade and look weird and shadowy.

Most likely, Elements 10 cannot handle the codec.

Thank you all for the help. I've gathered that my issue was a combination of computer/adobe/zoom/NOOB incompatibility issues. I found a Zoom editing app and was able to upload a video to youtube that had no issues so for now I have figured out how to accomplish my goal. I appreciate all of the assistance!
