Question

Glitching problem + mp4 low resolution problem

I edit HD talking heads videos shot on iPhone layering them with screen recordings made with Quicktime on MacBook Pro (.MOV files). I shot my latest iPhone video in 4K and now I have a heavy glitching in the screen recordings I layer on top of it.

 

I tried this solution (re-encoding the screen recordings in MP4 with matching the source at high bitrate) https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/premiere-pro-glitching-videos-in-preview-and-export-source-footage-fine/m-p/10563339#M222259 and now the glitching is gone, but the resolution of these screen recordings became pretty bad. 

 

How can I maintain the resolution of these videos and solve the glitching problem?

Hi,

Sorry. It's a frustrating situation you have there. When you say the resolution looks pretty "bad" once they are transcoded, what do you mean by that? The quality is lower, or they are overly bright and/or saturated? If the latter, is it possible that the iPhone clips were shot in HDR? 

 

Let us know. Embedded screenshots would help a lot, if you have time.

 

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

 

thanks for answering. The drop in quality appears in the resolution. The mp4 version appears more pixellated. After all, of an original file of 807 MB the mp4 version turns out to be 142 MB.

Dear MJ,

I am not sure as I need more info to help you solve this one. I'd need info on your system and screenshots of your Sequence Settings and Export Settings dialog box. Transcoding is, in general, the solution for VFR screen captured video and should be embedded into your workflow. You just have to make sure your settings "make sense" for your overall Sequence Settings, etc. Providing those screenshots can help us provide better assistance.
