Blurry video and text after render CS6

Just recently, I have been experiencing a problem with Premiere Pro CS6. For some reason, after I render video after adding some sort of effect (usually RGB curves), the rendered image is blurry in the program monitor. The same goes for text. I will go into RGB curves and tweak it just slightly to get it unrendered and it looks as sharp as can be. Exporting is a whole other issue. So, I render my footage and it all looks blurry, but the final exported mp4 looks just fine, except for the text. The text is still not sharp after render. For now, I do not render my text when I export and the text looks sharp in the final mp4. Anyway to fix this? Or is it just a bug?

Not sure what you mean. Are you asking what my export settings are? If so, I export in h.264 format and I use the YouTube HD 1080 format. That is all I touch for export settings, if that is what you are asking.


There are settings for your renders in the "Sequence Settings" dialog box.

Perhaps you could look under Sequence and Sequence Settings and show us what you see there. If you are editing at 1920X1080, for example, and your renders are half of that size, that could be the reason for you being unhappy with the Program Monitor but not your exports.

I have the same problem. The source material is 3.3Mbps and the output is 6Mbps, is that a factor? Here's a screenshot of both. The one with subtitles is the edited, and the one without is source material.

>I have the same problem

 

So you have CS6 ???

 

What are the DETAILS of your computer and software and files?

I don't have CS6 I don't even know what that is but I'm guessing the problem is universaly caused by the same thing on different programs.

 

The source material is 1920x1040 MP4 3.3Mbps and the clip is 1280x720 6Mbps MP4

Yet another cause may arouse from Text Object resolution

If you created a text object with a small resolution (EG, 720p) and you're using a 1080p output, you are DEFINETLY gonna get chopped off text. 
Increasing the font size may bring you other padding and metric problems on the screen. 

If you are trying to increase a small resolution text into greater resolution screen, you may be doomed to make a new text object for each text, but with the new resolution. 

you may try and change Height and Width sizes in the legacy text options (see picture below).

I was killing myself with this problem today. 

It also can be due to TEXT SCALING and font size. 

If you Scale your text too much, it will appear fine in the preview but when in full screen, it will not. 

in order to avoid this, you should INCREASE THE FONT SIZE within the text object, and SET TEXT OBJECT SCALE = 100%. 

Another possible solution is to use TrueType fonts (vector fonts) if you are using scaling animation.

One other thing you can do is just the built in render to get a huge avi file, then use media encoder to compress it. my 50 sec avi was 3.98 gb! it was very crisp. then i used ME H264 codec to compress it down. now its 12.5 mb!!

What are all of your Display settings for Program Monitor?

Likely something in there.

Good luck,

I have my program monitor set to full for the playback resolution.

You might want to post a screen shot of your Sequence Settings so we can take a look.

This is what mine looks like and it is obvious that I can change the format. If yours is disabled, you may be using a setting that can't be changed, I suppose, and you might need to create a new sequence and set the preview format as you create the sequence.


Steven - I am using a mix of AVCHD and MOV video files in the sequence. The sequence was created by dragging an AVCHD file onto the new file icon. I made another sequence with one of the MOV files, and in that case, the Preview File Format options ARE available in the Sequence Settings. Thus, I think the AVCHD files don't allow for changes in the Preview File Format.

Regardless, I have never had a problem with using footage from these two cameras (AVCHD from Panasonic GH2 and MOV from Canon 5D) in the past.

New info: The sequence also has an After Effects sequence within it. That also renders very blurry when I do a render preview. I only did a partial render preview of the area that the AE sequence appears. When I move my current time indicator past the rendered area, the AE data is sharp.

Something is wrong with my render previews...
