Adobe Trouble

Hey. I use Adobe Premiere 6.0, and I'm getting a little peeved because any part of a video that I edit gets grainier than the original clip for some odd reason (and some of those clips are grainy enough to begin with). Anyone have any idea what's going on and how to fix it?

If that's happening in the Preview window, that's normal. If it's happening when you actually export the video, now....that's different. Try actually exporting the clip from Premiere and watching it.

Scenes that are choppy in the preview window usually get cleared up in the export, but when I export edited clips that look perfectly fine in the preview window, they get a grainy pixelated-ish look about them.

Make sure "Recompress" is set to "Always" in the export options. That's the only idea I have.

What does tht Recompress check box do anyway? I always play around with it, but never see a difference in either cases.

Premiere 6.0 can't resize video in export. Meaning, if you're working with source clips at 720x480, but when exporting you tell it to use a resolution like 512x386 it'll look like crap, cause Premiere is stupid.

Same thing for scaling up. You have to export at the native resolution, cause premiere can't do such a basic thing as a bicubic resize. :/

You say that like it's a bad thing.

And... um... who said <i>anything</i> about resizing?

He said they look pixelated, it's plausable he has it set to export at a different resolution than the source clips. Excuse me for trying to cover all the bases. :/

Actually it's the exact same size as the movie I'm making, I just edited the scenes for lipsynch. The recompress check box didn't do anything, either. Any other ideas?

What codec are you exporting it to?
