2. Re: Importing images makes them blurry and jaggy (CS4)
JR Dungan Oct 30, 2010 9:36 AM (in response to JSS1138)Just judging the quality from experience of working on premiere with uncompressed files. I changed the settings on the viewer to highest quality, which has made the images sharper, so it's possibly just those settings on the viewer. But the interlacing is still extremely visible on my capture window, much more than I think it ever was on 2.0. I also feel like the image is a little skippy sometimes in its movement. I just took a huge amount of files off my computer, so the computer is running clean and fast. When I export the files to VLC, the interlacing is also noticeable. I feel like it's a simple problem with the import settings, or with the settings when I set up a project. But I've checked that it's PAL, I've tried both upper and lower-field interlacing, etc. I'm doing things the same way I did with 2.0, so I'm confused why there is an interlace problem.
thanks

Harm Millaard Oct 30, 2010 10:13 AM (in response to JR Dungan)Maybe because you are trying to judge quality of interlaced material on a progressive monitor? You can only judge quality on a properly calibrated professional or broadcast monitor, never in the program or source preview monitor panels.

JSS1138 Oct 30, 2010 11:11 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)I agree with Harm. The internal Source and Program monitors are for content viewing only - NEVER judge image quality using them. ALWAYS use a properly calibrated TV of the correct type for quality control. This means a standard definition CRT set for SD work, and an HDTV for high-def work. Broadcast quality is best, but can be quite expensive. At the very least, calibrate your existing TV using a DVD or Blu-ray calibration disk.
