My video's quality is dropping significantly when I render.

[mjn.ink]

I created my snippets of animation in another software and exported it as 1920x1080 (top image) and spliced it together in Premiere Pro, but when I exported it after putting everything together, my quality had dropped a lot and the colour was manipulated. Can someone help? I've tried to change my render settings but nothing worked. I've spent a lot of time on this, and want to make another one, but I don't want it's quality to drop when I do.

Please post screenshots of your media properties, sequence settings, and export settings.

As soon as I make the sequence 1920 x 1080 it crops my video.

Look how tiny your sequence is:

As soon as I scaled it up, the footage got cropped

Yes, if you increase the size of the sequence that the media is in after you've scaled it down to fit, it's going to be scaled down. Personally, I wouldn't recommend using Scale to Frame Size, because you should just be able to reset the Scale property of your footage to get it to fit a sequence of the appropriate size, and with Scale to Frame Size you can actually risk negatively effecting your footage.

In the future, the best recommendation I can make is to start a sequence based on the properties of the source media. Here is one of several ways to do that:

Make your sequence 1920x1080 and then scale the photo to fit, you could try right clicking the photo on the timeline and selecting 'scale to frame size'

Oh thank you so much! It worked!
