Premiere Elements 2019 video poor quality

Question

I make time lapse videos of starry skies. I finally realized that the reason my videos look so bad is that when I upgraded from Premiere elements 13 to 2019, the video was less clear and the stars blinked instead of smoothly moving across the frame. Do I have a setting wrong in Premiere Elements 2019? Ther only suggestion from support was to uncheck hardware acceleration, but that did not help. Windows 10, all drivers and software up to date. It looks like the star blink because they fall between the scan lines. Any suggestions? Both videos 1080 HD and highest quality.

You can see the stars blink and the quality is not as good.

I'm going to guess that you have project settings of "interlaced" rather than "progressive". If not that, the output settings are not what they should be.

When opening a project in the newer version it will default to a project setting automatically with the first clip placed on the timeline. There is a check box to force it to be what you pick manually. When a photo is the first item on the timeline it is probably setting it wrong for what you want to do.
