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.

Unfortunately, it did not look good after the initial encoding. I made sure to only use Media Encoder to produce this.
Please let me know if there's something I can provide from these details to help.
Here's something else I noticed when dealing with Premiere and the Sequences. The videos already looked rough in the Monitor within Premiere. It's not even post-encoding. It's the intitial raw footage within Premiere. This makes me think it's a sequence issues, but then I'm running into it when skipping Sequences altogether and only using Media Encoder.
Again, if anyone wants any more info, please let me know.
