Check settings

Hello,
1. first check video quality settings on your camescope if its the one you want.
2. After, be sure that output format defined in Adobe Premiere elements is HD.
It could be,that for purpose of preview, software shows you video in lower resolution/quality.

Have you tried straight up playing the video to see if it originally has high quality before loading into premier?

As far as I know , you will get a good quality video if you uploaded a .avi format file into Adobe Premiere elements ,so ,at first , you can try converting the .mts file in .avi format,and iFunia HD Video Converter for Mac/Aneesoft HD Video Converter for Windows can help you out.

is it showing bad quality when previewing video in softwar or once its has been exported (rendered)?
If it is second point, are you sure you choosed good setting and compression?
Especially debit rate.Low debit rate,even on high resolution will create bad video.
Send us setting you are using,please.

Agreed - I havn't used premier recently but can imagine that they would preview at a lower quality then the actual export would be. If you havn't tried exporting - do that first and compare the quality after export to the pre import quality.

Just found a couple links that might be helpfull as well. Here is one from adobe on settings for the preview videos (looks like you can change a good bit on the pro version - not as clear on other versions). So this might be your problem.

Here is another good discussion i found on retaining video quality during exporting.

it is showing bad quality once it is imported into premiere, so i can't edit the footage

 

[coldfire1984]

but,did you try to make a video and see the result?
It might be, that while,editing,video quality is bad,because for some reasons(CPU,memory,software) it can't handle HD video in realtime.But once done, the video is good.Please send us the setting for your video project.
