I am working on a Product Demo, for which I need to screen record a website flow and edit using Premiere Pro. The quality of the screen record is good, but the moment I import it to Premiere Pro, the quality of the footage drops drastically. The resolution of the sequence is 1280 X 720. I tried recording in 1920 X 1080 and scaling it down in Premiere, but the quality still drops. Please advise on how to resolve this. 

Is there s better screen recorder tool that I can use, or is there a way to fix the resolution. 

Attaching reference screenshots of the image

quality. 

Thanks.

Hi DavidAve19,

 

Please try these steps and check if it helps.

  • Right-click on the imported media in the Project panel and select New Sequence From Clip
  • Right-click on the Program monitor and set the Playback Resolution and Paused Resolution to Full

If you are still getting a poor quality preview, please send us a screenshot of the media properties and the Sequence settings.

 

Thanks,

Sumeet

    Are you seeing it in your program monitor at a lower setting than "full?" Even 1/2 or 1/4 will definitely look weird when it's a screen flow with text. Have you rendered it out to a final video yet? I imagine it looks low-res in your program monitor but would render just fine. Not sure how you've captured the video but I have used and love Camtasia by TechSmith.

      The Program monitor is in 'Full' resolution (High-Quality setting). I tried the screen recording using Camista as well, but the quality still drops on import. Gets grainy and blur. I have exported also and check, tried to sharpen the video too, but unfortunately doesn't get any better.
