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.

In case someone has this issue again, I fixed disable option in preferences - media - default media scaling - NONE

Unfortunately, I am having the same problem. I rendered and replaced the photos and I set playback resolution to full. When I stop the video, the photo is in perfect focus but when I play the video, it is blurry. What am I doing wrong?

Right, I'm also facing the same problem. when video is playing during editing it's blurry but when I pause it, still photos become clear. Even if after rendering result is same, blurry photos !

Kindly help

Thankyou Ann Bens and Meg The Dog. That helped alot. I find it weird that the playback resolution effects the rendered version, but thankyou. I thought that the playback resolution only affected the preview.. guess not. Thankyou.
