The answers will be in the details.
What are the properties of your source media...
video and audio compression, frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, file extension, pixel aspect ratio?
What are you or Premiere Elements 12 Mac setting as the project preset for the project based on the properties of the source media?
What is your intended export for your Premiere Elements 12 Mac Timeline?
Please describe your computer resources?
Once you supply the details, I will offer a test workflow to define the issues and hopefully to correct them.
Thanks.

3. Re: Poor Import quality in Adobe Premiere Elements 12
I uploaded directly from my Sony Handycam to my iMac- it is an AVCHD file
and plays great in Quick Time. When I import to Adobe Elements 12, I tried
both auto and high settings- same result- poor quality.

As a quick test, I would do an output file (Publish+Share) for a small portion (you can restrict the area of your output with the WAB - Work Area Bar) of your Timeline, say to MOV H.264, and then compare that in QT Player, to see how closely it matches your raw AVCHD material. If it looks good, then everyone can concentrate on the display in PrE's Program Monitor.
If the output file shows the same degradation, that you are seeing in PrE, then the troubleshooting approach would be different.
Good luck,

Sorry for the delayed response. You wrote earlier in this thread.
When I import to Adobe Elements 12, I tried
both auto and high settings- same result- poor quality.
Are you referring to the Playback Quality that you can set for Automatic or Highest by right clicking the Edit Mode monitor and selecting Playback Quality and one of those options?
Do you see the poor quality that you describe in the Preview Window as well as in the Edit Mode monitor playback of the rendered Timeline?
And, do you see any difference in the Edit Menu/Preferences/General when you compare:
Timeline render quality (valid for HD projects)
Draft quality, High Speed
High quality, Slow Speed

Add On...I am strictly an Elements Windows user, so I ask these questions from a Premiere Elements Windows perspective. I realize that, although the Windows and Mac versions are much alike, there are differences.
Are you working with one or two monitors?
You also wrote that your source is
AVCHD/BDMV/STREAM000001.MTS
