How can I fix blurry still images in Premiere Pro?

Hi, I am Caillin. So I have been working on a project in Premiere Pro, using still images (logos for companies) and I have come across a common issue with any image I have used. The resolution on the image gets lower when the video is playing.

I asked a professional a couple of days ago and he said that it was just because I had not rendered the video yet. So I rendered it and the image was still blurry. I also needed the images to take up almost the entire size of the screen.

I have some images below. Image 1 shows the video when it is paused in Premiere Pro CC. Image 2 shows the end result (rendered) and also when the video is playing in Premiere. Some things to note are that this was also a problem in the 2017 version of Premiere. Not just 2018 versions. I am on a Windows 10 laptop with 12GB of RAM. That should be enough info. If you need anymore, just ask.

I guess what I would really like to know is if there is anything that can stop this error from happening that anyone would know about.

Thankyou.

      How exactly do I do that?


      Click the wrench in the lower right corner of the Program Monitor and from the drop down menu choose Playback Resolution > Full.

      Read this: Scale to Frame Size vs Fit to Frame Size in Premiere Pro - PremierePro.net

      Then, if you like me are using Adobe Premeire Elements 15-isch, to turn of autoscaling for every future imported image go to menu Edit > Preferences > General... and uncheck Default Scale To Frame Size.

      To make already imported images on the timeline NOT scaling to frame size: select single or multiple clips that is affected by blurines, then uncheck Scale to Frame Size in the Clip > Videooption-menu. Or right-click on selected clip/clips and uncheck Scale to Frame Size in the Clip submenu.

      I hope this comes handy to anyone that didn't already edit 60 stills in Ken Burns-style before expiriencing blury outcome... Like I did.

      Hi guys.

      I've been making a logo now, and have the same problem like the rest here,- it turns out blurry, and I've run out of options of what to do,- I've tried everything mentioned here, and still no solution, resizing my illustrator-logo has no effect,- nor does any of the other solutions.

      Does anyone have another idea of what could be the problem?

      Here is what I've checked so far, (taken from several places regarding the same issue:
      Checked that the sequencer preferences have the same resolution as the pictures.
      Program monitor - playback resolution - full, checked.
      High quality playback checked.
      preferences - media - default media scaling - NONE
      Rendering.
      Clicking Playback Resolution on the drop down menu, full. checked.
       
      -Clicking Paused Resolution on the drop down menu, full. checked.
      I use maximum render quality in the export window.
      It is set to frame size,- NOT scale to frame size.
      I have also resized the logo and it's part in illustrator, but there's no difference in the blur no matter how big I make the files.
      I even tried to change the color-profile on the logo in illustrator, but still no change.. 
      I'm running out of ideas here, I'm a totally newbie on this, so I also tried to lay a layer of color matte, but none of the changes I've done, has helped me, so I would very much appreciate if anyone has any good ideas now.

      If you can share the logo privately, I can have a look and see what's the problem

        Hi, and thank you.

        I'm new to this, and I tried to send you the videofile or the projectfile, but I wasn't allowed it directly to you.

        Worth trying this as worked for me: "Set to frame size" instead of "Scale to frame size."

        I had the same 'blurry' rendering problem and I too tried all the suggestions below, but to no avail.

         

        So I did the following, which rendered the logo perfectly in the Premier Pro playback and when I exported the final video.

         

        I had created the logo in Illustrator and changed the colour space to RGB and saved as a standard AI file.

         

        When I placed the logo into Premier I scaled it up and then the 'blur' would occur. So I scaled it up in Illustrator, saved it, then dropped it into Premier again. I repeated this several times, until I was happy with the sizing from Illustrator. This method ment I did not have to resize the logo in Premier and thus avoided the 'blur'.

          Hello there!
          Be sure to check your sequence frame size.
          Under Sequence> Sequence Settings, check if Editing Mode is "Custom" and on Frame Size type 1920 x 1080.

            I was able to fix this by checking the box 'Use maximum render quality' in the export settings screen.

             

            Hope this helps for some of you

              THIS is the real answer. I think OP and everyone else needs a fix for blurry images in encoded files, not for playback blurriness in-program. Just tried myself and Max Render Quality in the export settings fixed for me.

                -Right clicking the image on the preview

                -Clicking Playback Resolution on the drop down menu, click full

                -Clicking Paused Resolution on the drop down menu, click full

                -And I have High Quality Playback on the drop down menu on

                Also, if you have an adjustment layer, sometimes that will blur out an image. Move the image around to a different position, and that also may solve the issue.

                If this is the same issue I'm experiencing I went to 'view' and clicked on 'High Quality Playback' I hope it fixed it and whomever has problems.

                Can someone please help me. When i scale a logo down in premiere it gets blurry and when I scale it back up the logo quality is fine. Even with the playback set to full.
