Very Poor Video/sound quality

[mikey56hernandez]

I am shooting video with my canon t2i (set to NTSC) at 1280x720 at 60 fps. I am using Adobe Primiere Elements 7 to do my video editing. Every time I insert media it is highly pixelated, very choppy, in sound and image. I have tried converting it to a quicktime file and importing that way, converting it to a wmv, and others and everytime I insert it to Primiere it just has a slightly different level of choppiness, and pixelization. It isn't just the preview, I have tried burning it on to a dvd at the highest quality (as far as I know) and it is still extremely poor quality. I believe the camera takes video with a h.264 codex but I very new to the video world and don't understand much about them. Any advice or hidden settings in Premier 7 (there are many) would be greatly appreciated. By the way I tried playing the video on a 55" HD TV and it is crystal clear playing it via HDMI straight from my Camera... Anybody know how to help???

use mediainfo and gspot to see what you're capturing
offhand, it sounds like your project settings are way too low
