Blurry Pictures in Premiere

Hello,

I have created a slide show in Photoshop Elements 10. I clicked on output to send it to Premiere Elements 10 because my pictures were blurry/pixilated when I viewed them in full screen preview, but they were not blurry/pixilated in the screen above the timeline.

Once I had my slide show in Premiere, I finished making edits, created a DVD menu for it and then went to burn it to a DVD. None of the pictures were blurry in the screen above the sceneline. When I went to burn it to a DVD, I unchecked the box "fit to available space" and slid the quality slider all the way to the right. Most of the pictures were fine, but some are still blurry/pixilated.

Why is this happening and how can I correct it? Please provide detailed steps as I have only been using Premiere for about 2 weeks.

Hi John,

I reviewed the article and am now more confused than before. What measurement is 720 by 480?

I made a folder of the images I want to resize, then created the sub-folder. I opened Photoshop and clicked on process multiple files. I located my folders and opened them to the window and was then ready to resize. Is the 720 by 480 in pixels? There are several options in the drop menu. The article did not mention anything regarding the resolution.

With Video, it is ONLY the pixel x pixel dimensions that matter. The DPI, or PPI, are meaningless. They apply to printing, and to Web/computer display, but do not matter for Video. Scale to match the Project's Frame Size.

Good luck,

Hunt

I'm having the same issue with photos. I started a project with the Standard48kHz 720 x 480 settings. I usually didn't worry too much about the size of photos in previous projects but in this one, I noticed the photos were a bit blurry so I resized everything to 720 x 480 through photoshop - photos are still blurry. Since I was on version 9, I decided to upgrade to 11 but the problem is still there. I've rendered the video (no red lines) without success.

In other threads, the question comes up "what do you mean by blurry?" In my case, I can best define it as if you did a slight Gaussian Blur in photoshop....the entire photo looks as if you need glasses.

I'm a user going all the way back to I think Pre 2 and never had this issue. The only thing that I've changed over the years is I just switched from a PC to a MAC. All my projects (approx 20) that were done on a PC didn't have this issue.

Can you post a couple of screen-caps, please?

I would do one from Photoshop, showing the Scaled Image open there, and then one of the Program Monitor in PrE, sized about the same on your screen, so that we are looking at the two Images (the one in PS and the one in PrE) at about the same screen resolution. Might take some tweaking, to get them to be about the same size. Before doing the screen-cap in PrE, do Render your Timeline (or at least that Image), to show it at its best.

Good luck, and there is nothing that I can think of (not between PrE and PS, or between a Mac and a PC) to account for this, other than perhaps the display showing details (or lack thereof), that do not show in the other.

Good luck,

Hunt

Again, the issue is downrez of images for DVD rendering. The images I am working with do not seem to have an issue rendering for Blu-rays. I realize this program is mainly for video, but it has features to import pictures and create an integrated product with audio and video. The downrez scaling by all accounts I have read is unacceptable. I am looking for some solution other that starting over by scaling pictures once for DVD and once for Blu-ray rendering. A user should not have to do that. The program should have a decent scaler.

1) Does anyone know if someone who actually works for Adobe monitors this forum?

2) Is there a way to ask a question directly to a developer and ask if there is some solution...like a scaler add-in or something along those lines?

Thanks again and I appreciate the feedback.

Well, the Scaling algorithms in PrE are quite old, and as PrE does not take advantage of the Mercury Playback Engine (MPE) and CUDA capabilities in some nVidia cards, like PrPro does (their new Scaling algorithms w/ CUDA are much better than they are in PrE, or were, in versions of PrPro, before CS 5).

The Scaling algorithms in either Photoshop, or Photoshop Elements, are better, than those in PrE, and offer much more control, such as Bicubic Sharper. They play a major role whether down-rezzing, or up-rezzing the Still Images.

If PrE ever does get MPE, w/ CUDA acceleration, then it too would improve the Scaling, using much newer algorithms. However, at its price-point, and intended audience, I do not think that that will happen. Also, those new algorithms will ONLY work with certain video cards, and mostly higher-end ones, so would not be available to users without those.

I would directly contact Adobe with your concerns, and observations.

Good luck,

Hunt

Most likely you are making your slideshow with high resolution images. PRE has to scale these down to DVD quality (720x480) which is not one of its strong points.

Use Photoshop Elements, or other preferred photo editing software, and resize those photos to 720x480 (NTSC), or 720 x 576 (PAL) before bringing them in to PRE.

If you want to do some pan and zoom you can make them a little bigger (1000 x 750).

Cheers,
