The first thing to do is to not assess the visual quality as you're editing
the movie and previewing the project.... as it's low quality 320x240 at 15
fps....

Judge the quality of your source files and then your saved movies.... the
saved movie quality is something you pick when saving. If it's not good
enough for your needs, you can go higher using a custom profile.
