Question

Custom Motion Graphic Templates are blurry

I made a long post regarding this issue but accidentally deleted my post. So I'm gonna keep it short this time.

My custom MOGRT files are now blurry in real time playback after the Premiere 13.1.x update.

I have even tried making a new very simple MOGRT from the latest After Effects (even with two different machines) with just one text layer and the problem still occurs.

Playback and paused resolution are both set to high, and also HQ playback. If I render the timeline without Maximum Render Quality turned on then the rendered graphics also tend to get blurry or jittery.

We mainly work in Soy XDCAM HD422 1080 PAL, but this has been tested on many different sequence configurations.

This has been tested on four different machines, all with different specs and OS and they all give the same results.

This was NOT the case before 13.1.x.  The playback is always blurry now.

Here are examples with and without the blur (maybe watch in full screen):  Frame.io

Has anybody else experienced this?

    I had the same issue, but realized the mogrt was created in AE full HD while the premiere timeline is 4K.

    Posting additions out here in 2022 for anyone else experiencing these issues.

    I'm finding that if there's a mismatch (so frame rate, resolution, etc.) of your Mogrt to the timeline, the issue will present itself but ALSO be an issue within renders if, say you have a 4k Mogrt that's been placed in a 1080 timeline (both the real time playback AND the exports are now soft).

    *New note.

    This seems to have something to do with "High Quality Playback" turned ON when you render the timeline. (Weird I know)

    Problem seems to only occur when Maximum Render Quality is turned OFF.

    im trying to reproduce your problem, no issues for me

    tried with maximum render quality on export, tried with high playback res on when rendering...

    tried exporting to 8 bits and 16 bits from after effects, and with software only and metal from after...

    the only issue i noticed is before rendering, when enlarging the program monitor, sometimes it

    looks fine, then it gets fuzzy, but after render and export, no issues at all...

    Im exporting to H.264 match source high quality and the sequence is full HD 1920x1080

    what format are you exporting to?

    are you exporting from Media Encoder or Premiere Pro?

    is there any way you can share your mogrts? maybe pm me to take a look?

    Hi.

    I just go through the "Export Motion Graphics Template" within the Essential Graphics Tab in After Effects.

    Here is the example MOGRT I made (the same thing happens with all my MOGRT I make with AE)

    Thank you very much.

    Just to add using "Software only" gives the same results.  Also the four machines I tested this on all had different GPUs.
