Unwanted motion blur after export

Hello,

I've got a project I'm working on, everything going well so far, my problem is exporting.

When I export as an AVI, there's a really terrible motion blur effect that was not present in the source video or in the Premiere preview while I was working on it.

I tried exporting it as an MPEG2 and that solved the motion blur problem but the overall quality of the video wasn't very good.

The source video is 718x360, 30 fps, progressive, 48000 Hz, stereo.

The destination of the video is personal viewing on my computer, no DVD or anything.

Am I exporting to the completely wrong kind of file? When I exported to AVI and MPEG2 I used the default settings at highest quality rendering.

Any advice? I'm rather new to Premiere and I couldn't find the solution to the problem anywhere in the forum history.

Thanks for any advice or help.

No you exported to avi uncompressed, good quality, huge file but not suited for playback.

Try H.264 with a custom setting of 864x480 PAR 1.0 30p.

I'm running into the same issue and cannot find a fix. I'm also new to Premiere Pro. What am I doing wrong? All the footage looks great in preview. I have two effects - RGB and blur and a mask is used on both effects. When I render the raw footage, I don't have a problem but when I add any effect it makes a motion blur Can someone please help?

What is the source of the video? 1440x1080 typically means you recorded as HDV, which uses non-square pixels (1.333 pixel aspect ratio).

If the source is indeed 1440x1080, that's fine, but do not export at that size - you want SQUARE pixels (1.0) for delivery so that viewer doesn't see a squished image. Export at 1920x1080  (1.0 PAR), and then also, assuming output is for web/computer viewing, you never want to export using interlaced. Export as 1080p29.97 (progressive) video. There are plenty of presets to be found for that under H.264 format.

Don't know why output is blurred though.

Thanks

check your  sequence setting frame rate,  low frame rate cause motion blur

Post screendump of your export settings with the left tab to output and with an image.

Usually H.264 is the best option for viewing on computer.
