Premier Pro CS6 Question.....

Why do my photos and text disinigrate quality when imported to premier pro cs6?

I have still shots that have text and they look clean and crisp when I view them in photoshop. Why does the photo and text look so fuzzy or blurry and not crisp when I import the still files into premier pro cs6?

Is there a setting in premier that I am setting incorrectly? That is possibly blurring my photos and text? The problem appears in both my PR file and my final exported work.

Is there a way to retain the quality of the image and text that I see in my photoshop file?

Note: I am not enlarging anything after import, I am reducing though, but I would think this would only make images and text sharper????

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Im getting tired of doing all my work and delivering blurry / fuzzy / what appears to be low resolution images and text when I complete my project.

Thanks in advance for any help offered.

What are the specs of the stills?  What sequence settings did you use?  What export settings?

Hi Jim, thanks so much again for chiming in to my questions.

Specs of Stills - Photoshop file - 677 x 1014px, 150dpi, 1.96M file size, 150dpi, this is the size of the file I originally imported and reduced to approx. 65%, the one sized properly in photoshop imported fuzzier.

Sequence Settings -

Export Settings, FLV, attached are settings.

1. EXPORT FILTER SETTINGS...

2. EXPORT FORMAT SETTINGS

3. EXPORT VIDEO SETTINGS

FINAL PROJECT IS DELIVERY OF FLV FILE TO EMBED IN INTERACTIVE FILE. Ive tried different settings for different jobs, just feel all text and photos fall apart when pulled into and exported to FLV for embedding final.

Ive done several slideshow and video's in premier pro, have so much to learn still, Im thinking I keep diving into my projects and possibly making a total mess out of my settings for the desired final destination? is this possible?

Eeesh, no wonder it looks bad.

Is there any video involved, or just the stills?

Use Photoshop to resize pictures before using in Premiere

Tried resizing in photoshop, still looks pretty crappy, not even close to the sharpness in original file.

I will gather the settings asked about below and send those to you for thoughts, give me a few, working on 2 computers, getting dizzy. :O)
