I am having a lot of trouble with my 1440x1080 footage and I'm desperate for help.

My camera accidentally recorded at 1440x1080 instead of the 1920x1080 that I usually use. The original footage looks fine, but I am having a terrible time figuring out how to export my footage so it doesn't end up looking like garbage. I've tried tons of advice I've found on the internet (and in this forum) but none of it results in footage that looks anything like the original.

In order to show the problem, I used VLC to take snapshots of the footage. They both look okay! I had to take an actual screenshot for the difference to be visible.

Original footage:

Screenshot of footage exporeted from Premiere Pro:

When the video is in motion, there is a weird pixelization around people when they move. The edges are all rough and blocky.

I have tried exporting this in so many ways. What am I doing wrong?

Also, here are snippets on YouTube of both the raw footage and rendered using the "Match Highest Bitrate".

Any help would be amazing. This has confused me for hours.

Repyling to myself with a new idea:

Here is a short clip of test footage we ran when setting up. Maybe someone can fiddle with it and figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks again to everyone with their help. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.

I downloaded the file and it comes out great if i did the same i wrote earlier. Follow those steps and don´t create a Progressive timeline.

You don't say what framesize you used for both the sequence and the export. As if you are changing framesize, then the method of interpolation/blending is something to be aware of.

So ... what are the actual specs?

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

First, thanks for replying!

Next, framesize. Please let me know if this helps. When I check the properties of the raw footage in Premiere, here what I get:

Type: MPEG Movie
File Size: 1.06 GB
Image Size: 1440 x 1080
Frame Rate: 29.97
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - Compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Total Duration: 00:16:20:15
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.3333
Alpha: None
Color Space: Rec. 709
Color Space Override: Off
Input LUT: None
Video Codec Type: AVCHD H.264 4:2:0

I've tried exporting it in about five or so formats, both to specific presets and modified presets, and they all turn out similar to the sample video. Let me know if you need any of those details, as well.

Again, thanks!

Re: ProRes

I am unfamliar with this level of media detail so I had to do some searching. From what I found, you *should* be able to right-click on a media file in your bin, choose Proxy > Create Proxy > and then pick a ProRes option. When I do this, a meter shows up as if work is being done, it fills immeidately, and no file is created.

I used the Media Encoder to convert the file, but it returned the same result. Here were my settings:

Please let me know what I might have done wrong.

Your output settings should be 1920x1080 at a Square (1.0) pixel aspect ratio. Apologies, I left out steps in my earlier reply. For me, Media Encoder defaulted to the "NTSC DV Widescreen" preset - I changed the settings as listed below:

If that still doesn't work, I've created a Media Encoder preset based on those settings - try importing that and give it a whirl.
My goal with this path is to create 1920x1080 files with square pixels to use as your source files, instead of letting Premiere read/convert them on the timeline. Again, not sure this is the best solution, but how I would go about solving.
