Hi, this is a Apple 4444 Pro Res file that I bring into premiere and export at these settings, it comes out pixelated and not looking great, how can I fix this?

 

It shouldn't be looking this bad

...how can I fix this?


By @SiHutch

 

What happens if you use CBR instead of VBR and also un-check Render at Maximum Depth and Use Maximum Render Quality. Set the CBR bitrate to 30.

 

You can also try to set the Key Frame Distance from 72 to 25.

 

And, how does it look if you render out to Apple ProRes?

From what I can see of the actual image involved, it's very low on exposure. What did the scopes show of the image, Waveform or Parade?

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
