One thing that sticks out is that your Sequence Settings is 1440x1080 with a Pixel Aspect Ratio of 1.333. This is the same settings as HDV that in itself are kind of obsolete today. A wild guess is that your source footage is 1920x1080 with a Pixel Aspect Ratio of 1.0.

 

Point being, check your source footage to make sure what resolution it is. If you have 1920x1080 with a Pixel Aspect Ratio of 1.0 make sure that your Sequence Settings match that, and make sure that your export settings match that. Any mismatch, such as placing 1920x1080 on a 1440x1080 sequence and then export it to 1440x1080 will cause the export to look blurry.

 

You are using hardware encoding as well. Software looks better. Using a higher bitrate can be a good idea to test as well.

Hi Wilson,

Sorry about that. Your settings look OK. You can try Software Encoding in Video > Encoding Settings as a test. Let us know what happens.

 

Thanks,
Kevin
