Hi Andy,
I'm determined to get this working. It will allow me to do over 100GB of my family videos from the last 20 years! There must be something different between our configurations and/or systems.
I tried the Adobe Media Encoder and got the same issue. So I realised that my export screen looked only slightly different to yours, so I did it again (and again) to match yours perfectly yet is still outputs the test.mov as a heavily pixelated file.
I did the following:
(1) right-click on the test.avi clip from the project list above the timeline and selected to export the clip.
(2) Selected format = Quicktime, and Preset = Match Source (rewrap)
The output of exporting this resulted in the same pixelated file.
So - and to completely match your export screen - I then did the following:
(3) changed Preset to = PAL DV (just like yours). Note that this changed the Quality setting from 4 to 100 (just like yours),
(4) ticked the 5 check-boxes that now appeared (highlighted in yellow on the attached file below) - again to match your export settings,
(5) unchecked the "Aspect Ratio Correction" button at the bottom of the export dialog box (also highlighted in yellow). Although I don't think this actually affects the export output file in any way - but I did it anyway.
And then I exported the file.
Unfortunately I got the same pixelated resulting output file. I can't see why it would work for you but not for me.
Some questions for you if you don't mind:
(1) Did the test_1.mov file that I created and attached in a previous message work for you, or did you see it highly pixelated like I did?
(2) What settings do you have when clicking on the "Metadata..." button at the bottom of the export page? Are the same as mine - I have attached a screenshot of mine here. I have tried every one of the "Export Options" at the top of this Metadata dialog box, and none solved my problem. I haven't tried anything else on this Metadata settings dialog box.
(3) Which version of Premiere Pro are you using? Could there be some codecs or something that I need to update (or downdate?!) to get this working?
And finally, thank you so much for taking the time to help me!
