Fuzzy Edges

Postby astronomy2004 » Wed May 30, 2007 2:25 am

Hello,

I have finished a music video with Premiere Pro, and I have brought in into virtualdub to finalize it. It looks fine in there, but when I save it as avi and watch it on my computer, it has the fuzzy edges around the charcters. How could I fix this?

dammit... pressed thing to earley >.< like what settings are you using?

you should export as uncompressed as far as i know (from what people have told me who use the program - its pretty much the same in Vegas though from what i know) then compress it down in Virtualdub Mod....

if its getting all fuzzy still, then use avisynth to sharpen it up

I was also trying to export as NTSC, would that work better? I tried bringing the uncompressed avi into virtualdub and it wouldn't let me load it.

How's the footage you're using look before it goes into premiere? Shit in, shit out.

If you need to play with filtering there's plenty of help in the guides and whatnot for what you need. Post images of problems if you want suggestions.

The footage going in is good, when it comes out of premiere it is fuzzy, but when I put it back into virtualdub 1.6.17, it gets really good quality, but then when I save out of virtualdub, it is fuzzy again, mostly what I'm looking is how to make it look as good as it does when it is playing in virtualdub.

The XVid was a good idea, it got the size down really well. I'm still gonna play around with it. I'll entertain anymore suggestions of course.
