Exporting issues in Premier Pro CS5

Hey guys, I'm the worlds worst at exporting projects. I always feel there are way to many options when all I want is for my project to export with 100% quality. I exported my reel last night, it's a mix bag of 1080 30p / 24p and 720 24p footage. I exported it at H.264 720 24p but when I play it back you can see almost like a mirror image or ghost like image, especially on the 1080 clips, pressing pause on some clips really brings this out. Should I export to 720 30 or just try to redo it in 720 24p? I've found sometimes if I just re-export the file, it works fine. It's just strange, I still don't really like premier's exporting.

thanks

You just can't get all that footage into one 100% quality export. For starters, you have two different resolutions. That means one will need to be scaled up, or the other scaled down. In both cases, you lose quality. Secondly, you have a frame rate discrepancy. That also creates quality issues. And finally, anything other than a lossless export will involve a reduction in quality.

So give up on 100%.

And always shoot everything with the same specs. Or at the very least, at the same frame rate.
