Video Export Problem in Premiere

Postby Necopotence » Thu Nov 21, 2002 12:51 am

For some reason when I try to export a video from Adobe Premiere it always comes out grainy. But only certian parts do this. At first they would not even be recognize by premiere so I encoded them with TMPEGEnc. When still one of them would not work. An error saying can not be opened or is unsupported and an error occured with ntdll.dll. I have tried for almost a week now to figure this out be have failed everytime. Any ideas. I do have a rather so computer but that shouldn't effect it being recognized or it exporting I suppose. PLEASE HELP!

When you export or import is this happening ?

What codec are you exporting as?

What codec is your source?

What are the overall specs of your video (frame rate, resolution, codec...)?

What do you mean by grainy? Pixeled or actually film grain like effects?

Can you post a screen shot of it ?

First thing that comes to mind ist that De-interlace when speed is under %100 is enabled, as that will cause a grainy appearance only when you slow video down. You can change it under Video Options|Field Options, make sure it's unchecked, this is the worlds most useless feature in Premiere.

However, since you mention that you had to use TMPEG to get the clips to work? I am not sure if that's the problem or if it's something else. You shouldn't have to use anything to make your clips work in Premiere, so long as you have the proper codec installed for it.

I can't get the original video sources to import without running it though TMPEGEnc first for some reason. Even then one of the videos won't import to TMPEGEnc saying it is incompatiable but it will still play in media player.
I am exporting the video as XIVD for the best quality. I have tried using other codecs to export but they all so the same thing.
When I view the properties the source videos it says the the videos are of DIVX make or has DIVX compression. I do have the latest DIVX installed so I don't believe it is that.
The specs for the video that I am trying to export is 512x384. The source videos range from 320x240 to 512x384. The frame rate for the export setting is 29.97 but I have changed numerous time but has not worked. The source videos frame rates run 29 to one of them being 23 for some reason.
By grainy I mean complety pixalated, like a black screen with odd color pixels slaped on it.
As for the speed settings and dek-incerlace, none of my clips are slowed only speed up.
I have a picture but can't get the stupid thing to attach to this message. It is on my hard drive and does not have a url.

Uhm. What I would suggest is:

1) Get Virtualdub
2) Get Huffyuv
3) Use Virtualdub to convert all of your DivX clips into Huffyuv (warning: the files are going to be HUGE)
3) Find out a common framerate to work at. Your best option is to work at 23.97 fps with progressive frames (you may need to IVTC your footage).
4) Export into huffyuv from Premiere
5) Use Virtualdub to create your XviD file (remember to set the width and height of your XviD as multiples of 16 and don't use the MPEG quantizer)

I hope this will help ;)
