One of the best parts of long term participation on this forum is making connections with people from other cultures and countries.  I apologize that I never made the effort to learn other languages.   Many years ago I visited Japan and enjoyed it very much.  

 

I am happy that you have found a good solution.

    Twice I have been to Japan.

    All the way from Kagoshima to Sapporo. Loved it.

      "taircase noise shown by the red line.."

      That looks like it might be artifacts from interlacing.  What are the project settings and output settings?

        File> Export & Share
        From the opened window
        Device> Computer> HD1080 (1920X1080)

        Format: MP4-H264.
        Image quality: High

        Output it with the above settings.


        I am Japanese.
        Many Japanese are not fluent in English, so my language expression may be incorrect.
        I'm surprised that I was able to communicate so far.

        We will also send you a screenshot for a trial.



         

        However,

        Device> Custom> H.264
        With the bit rate set to 62 Mbps & CBR, the noise disappeared, so there is no problem.

          I read the reply.
          Therefore, I tried to output the sample rate of H.264 at 62Mbps.
          Then I got the same result as YUB 4: 2: 2.

          I previously output at preset H.264 32Mbps.
          Then, the staircase noise shown of red line was noticeable.

            

          I am very pleased and grateful for your advice.

          Thanks.

          I agree with Ann.  An H.264 workflow is not going to image quality.   What are you starting with and what are you trying to produce?

            Hello everyone.

            Unfortunately, I was not satisfied with the H.264 image quality.
            Premiere Elements for Mac does not support Quicktime.
            Therefore, it seems that the plan I want cannot be used.

            I have to consider.
            It is the purchase of Premiere Pro or another company's application.
            Or buy more hard disks.

            Thank you for your reply

            If you are unhappy about H.264 a lossless codec wont help.

            You need to start at the source: better camera.

                Several versions back, Bill Hunt, who was as a regular contributor here, mentioned Lagarith.  I tried it as an experiment and it worked with whatever version was current then.  Even though it worked, it was useless.  File sizes were huge and there was not a useful improvement over H.264 in picture quality.   I don't remember what Bill taught me to do to make it work.  Try it and see!

                  Elements used to import Cineform also

                  But Adobe stripped that feature too.

                    Premiere Elements can edit uncompressed AVIs -- but I would not recommend it.

                    Premiere Elements is designed to edit consumer video including video from camcorders and phones. It is not designed to edit professional and high-end video formats.

                     

                    If you're going to work with uncompressed video, I highly recommend you upgrade to Premiere Pro CC.

                      Prores is not uncompressed. Its visual lossless codec as is Cineform.
