It's a relatively simple and powerful video editing program, but I can't figure out how to improve the quality of the QuickTime DV-NTSC output. I've tried adjusting all the Quicktime settings to their maximum quality, without any visible improvement.
I'm going to post a question on the Adobe forum, but worst case scenerio is we render our clips in Max as uncompressed AVIs or Targa files, edit them in Premiere, save a single uncompressed AVI, then use Max to convert that to a Quicktime DV-NTSC file. It sounds complicated but it's actually pretty simple and the final output looks great. |
As I say again

Trying to export in this codecc using premire will butcher the quailty of your video like a dozen pigs in a giant blender on liquify. Instead I recomend exporting your video as an Uncompressed .avi (make sure that the video is getting exported as "progressive scan" and not "lower fields first" or "upper fields first") then importing it into Avid DV pro. Its far better with the NSTC codecc.
And while avid is great with the NSTC codec. I personally dont like the interface of the program and only use it to change the video format.

Adobe elements is the same thing as adobe premire expect that adobe elements is just a watered down version of adobe premire. Export your video from adobe elements as uncompressed avi and then get the trial version of Avid dv pro. Avid dv pro is
Very good with the required codecc.
