Question

losing video quality during/after editing

Device: Sony Handycam 1080HD

When I upload to Premiere the footage quality decreases. How should I set my settings so that my quality is maintained? Sometimes when I upload to Youtube, the quality does look better when I set the quality on there.

Also, how to remove grainy images? I know there is a noise/grain effect in Premiere, but are there any tips for my camera?

Make sure you playback is set to full.

Footage imported into Premiere does not lose quality as its a non destructive editor.

Check the manual on noise/grain effect in Premiere. Its not what you think it is or should do.

In the Program Monitor there is a dropdown button for playback resolution.
