Hey Everyone
I'm really hoping you can help cause I am beyond frustrated. Here is the problem.
We create a DVD each month with all of the newest movie trailers on them that play in video stores.
Here are the steps we take
1. Download the 720p quicktime trailer from the web
2. We then edit them in Premier Pro CC
3. We add a graphic overlay (Its a 1280X720, 72dpi TIFF) I use the Photoshop CC preset for it
4. Export the project as a h.264 (.mp4) file (Target bitrate 7.5, Maximum Bitrate 7.5, Use Macimum Render quality) It comes out beautiful in 720p HD.
Then we open Encore CS6
1. Start a new timeline
2. Import our .mp4 file
3. Set our transcoding. Now here is the problem, I have tried every preset. Along with custtominzing it, our most recent was..
Then off we go to author it. But when its done, it's sooooo blurry you can;t even read text on the screen. Now I know that DVD IS NOT HD, I get that, but it should still be legible no? Is this the best I can get? Here are some screen shots (sorry I had to take with my camera of the DVD and you can see how blurry it is.
Any help would be appreciated as our client is really getting annoyed with the quality. The company before us used Premier Pro and Encore but it came out way nicer. Im just lost here.
