Question

Premiere Elents 2018

When I playback a video the quality is not good. If I play back using VLC it is perfect. I am not talking about editing videos just viewing videos I have taken which are stored in Organiser.

 

Is there any way I can make the playback use VLC rather than what it is actually using?

    Depends on the specs of the video. 

     

    Open your video in the free download MediaInfo. In MediaInfo, set View to Text and then copy the text of this report and paste it to this forum. With that additional information, we'll better be able to advise you.

     

    It might also help to know which processor you have and with how much RAM.

      My processor is Intel Core(TM) i9-10900k CPU @ 3.7 Ghz 10 Cores

      RAM is 16 GB

      This video is an MTS file but other videos (eg MP4) are the same. The outlines are pixilated and a bit blurred. VLC plays them just fine.

      Hope this helps

      I don't see anything here that would cause you problems. It looks like a pretty standard AVC file. It appears to be from an AVCHD camcorder.

       

      Look at your Project Settings. Go to the Edit menu and look at the General page under Project Setttings. Ensure that it shows 1920x1080 25 fps PAL.

       

      If these project settings are the same as your video specs, there's something funny going on that isn't immediately obvious. If so, I'll show you how to troubleshoot the issue.
