FRAPS and Premiere issue - please help - Page 2

rift · 03-02-2008, 07:44 PM

I record my FRAPS clips in WoW at Half size 1680x1050, which is 840x524.

I then set up my Adobe Premiere Project to the same FPS, Pixel aspect ratio (square), and resolution as my source clips.

No matter what compression codec or setting I use, the rendered sequence always comes out blurred, with unreadable chat text and SCT text. You also cant read the player names in my unitframes, or in the Proximo window.

It even looks blurred in the preview windows before I render the project, although interestingly if I pause the preview sequence it reverts to a crystal clear image, similar to the source clip - but hit "play" and immediately the text loses all definition. I have no idea what is causing this.

Also, I have compressed the source clips using VirtualDub, Windows Media encoder 9, and WMM - the clips come out perfectly, with very clear text.

Unfortunately Premiere is the editing program Id like to use.

I have played with every single setting I can find, and surfed the net for hours trying to find an answer to this problem with no joy.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
