I'm not completely familiar with premiere, but it could just be the ram preview that you are basing the quality off. Try redering a 5-10 second clip just to see if it comes out correctly.

The way you described it, it sounds extremely bad so this might not be the main factor but you should consider it. Whenever you import footage into editors, WHILE IN THE EDITOR the clips look bad, but once rendered and uploaded they look fine, just try rendering and uploading something simple and see if it looks like it should, so then you know whether this is the problem.

For me, it actually looks better in the editor then on vimeo. But i keep my videos resolution still at 100% when working in FCP.

looking at that youtube clip it seems that is in SD(standard Def 640x480) you might want to check your project settings in Premier make sure you are matching your recorded footage settings like 1080x1920 at 30fps or however you have them set on the camera and be sure to have you project settings the same.  I use FCP and this has always been a pain.  I hope this helps.

You're still doing something wrong because there is a black box around your image.

your project settings should match the settings you filmed in before you drop your footage in. idk if premiere prompts you like final cut does when you drop your first clip in but if not you should start out with whatever you shot the footage in

cs5 is designed to use dslr's nativley without converting to DNxHD or pro res. If you have an older version, than you probably need to transcode. As said before go into sequence and match up the settings for your footage. If the preview looks bad, go to either preview window and right click on the image, scroll to paused or playback resolution than change it to full if you want to see your actual image. Unless your running a power house, i advise to keep the playback at 1/4 or it will be choppy. I keep the paused resolution full as it helps when grading etc. Tell me if this works, if not i'll try to help some more!
