Premiere Pro Downgrading Quality After Exporting: Why?
I recently picked back up at video editing, and I've made a few videos. My first two were fine, in terms of video quality, they were clearly 1080p 60fps. My newest video that I've recently finished exports in what appears to be a lower quality. I have used all of the same settings for each video:
Format: H.264
Width: 1920
Height: 1080
Frame Rate: 60
Field Order: Progressive
Aspect: Square Pixels
TV Standard: NTSC
Profile: High
Level: 5.1
Bitrate Settings:
Encoding: VBR, 2 Pass
Target Bitrate: 14
Max Bitrate: 16
Use Max Render Quality is checked. Audio is untouched. I tried screenshotting what I meant, but that does not seem to be working for me at the moment. To describe the problem further, I exported my first video with no problem: it came out buttery smooth with full resolution and my desired framerate. My second video took longer to export because the first few times it came out looking more muddy than it showed in the window during editing. After changing my settings back to what they normally are (see above), somehow it fixed the problem. Now, it exports, no matter how I change my settings, to a lower resolution: just overall grainy and very muddy, not at all like the crystal clear resolution I'm seeing while editing. Why is this happening?
Thank you,
Dave
