Quality LOST When uploading to Premier??? HELP

[Ripitupfilms]

So ive been using my canon Gl2 and when played back on the camera the footage looks clear and bright and good quality but then when uploaded into premier it gets ugly colorless and not 100% clear and good quality looking.

What does anyone suggest is going on. Or is there a better way to upload the footage

2 things.

1. What are you looking at when you are making the judgement that the footage looks ugly, colorless, etc? If you are looking at your computer monitor, not cool. Computer monitors do not properly display video. You should be outputting video to an NTSC monitor (or PAL if you are in Europe) to judge the quality of your image.

2. What steps are you taking to capture your footage and what are your capture settings? Should be using Firewire and capturing with the DV/NTSC codec.

I am using a firewire and have been shooting under Tv at 500 shutter speed at one time i was around 1000/2000 on different days I just seen all these youtube videos made by friends of mine that shoot motocross also and the quality is just alot better.
