Problems with exporting .avi from premiere

[Rogue3]

I've exported video from premiere before with no problems, but for some reason I'm having problems with my latest compilation. 2 major problems:

1. The exported .avi (about 4 minutes long) is changing scale wherever a transition is inserted (it's stretching, popping up and down). It almost looks like a video looks when you play a widescreen video back in full screen mode. It only seems to do this during transitions from what I can tell, then it pops back to normal.

2. Very bad interlacing. I'm seeing interlacing in the final product, on my tv. I know sometimes you can see it on the computer monitor but it will be ok on the tv, but i'm seeing it on both.

I don't know if I've got some settings wrong or what. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix these 2 issues?

On your first question... Check the Effect Controls for the clip in question. From the drop-down, select Window>Workspace>Effects to bring up the Effects Control Box and then click on the clip. The first effect to look carefully at would be Transform.

Many possibilities for the second question. I'll leave that one for someone else.

My Premier clips will often do that..
The effects when nested, for example changing the frames size (ZOOM) while doing a dissolve can cause renders like you describe ..
This is a problem with Premiere..
Please use AVID if you want to build smooth transitions without
re working them till they play ok (AVIDis smooth out of the box)..
That said..
you can get better result from PREMIERE by doing the following:
1.Make sure all you clips have the same field characteristic (upper field first)
2 do not mix frame rates during transitions or effected segments..
do not mix frame sizes (720x480 will not dissove cleanly to 640x480 clip)
You can,
but the results are spotty..popping and slipping like you described
3 Use the sub settings
a. Highest Quality on Quality sliders
b. do not limit KB wise the overall data rate
c. CONSIDER rendering an uncompressed version, and then compressing the clip in a later step

You don't give any information about your footage..
so its really difficult to help you..
For example: What kind of AVI are you outputting?
there are so many possibilitys...MPEG-4, Microsoft AVI? what are you doing..you didn't explain..
Also where did you get the files?
Are they from your cam corder? ARE they DV or conventional MJPEG captures?..this could make all the differnce
So, use uncompressed and larger frame sizes (DUH) and don't mix frame rates (27.97 with 30) on the timeline..
If you need to.make or maintain an effect at this point..take the time to make a sub clip

Interlace artifacts should only be seen on COMPUTER MONITOR..anyone see this in premiere?

i had the same problems so i just set the render setting to deinterlace and checked the optermise stills setting and the final product is fine know

Thanks for the input.

I captured analog hi8 video using the passthrough on my DV camera. So, the original file is dv avi. I exported using the default microsoft dv avi, which I didn't think compressed it. All the clips should be the same as far as specs go. I just sliced them up and reordered them to make a collage.

Like I said before, when I did a test burn on dvd and played it on my tv I could still see the interlacing effect like you see on the computer.

Well I'm lucky I saw this post..beause it seems this site no longer notifys you if someone replies to yopur thread BROKEN!

So check what dv codec you are capturing to again..and if there's another DV choice ..use it and compare

YOU SHOULD HAVE NONE OF THE PROBLEMS I OUTLINED ABOVE!

those only occur when you mix sources (like in editing a documentary)

There must be something non-standard about your hook-up (maybe its the DVD pass thru..adding junk..try taping it and playing back the recording

CAUSE I don't see the bobbling and junping in effects renders when I mix identically grabbed stuff on the timeline..
In this mode Premiere has been as clean as AVID
