  After Effects 1080P Output Problem

  Posted by Nat Kidder on November 24, 2009 at 9:31 pm

  I’ve searched this forum and although this subject has been discussed, I’m still stuck. Here’s what’s happening.

  I’m animating a title sequence which consists of type and still images only (non-interlaced png’s), and no video assets at all. My project comp settings are: 1920×1080, 29.97 fps, square pixels.

  I’m outputting 1080×1920 Quicktime movies via the render queue (trying both Animation codec and as Uncompressed) with “Field Render” set to “OFF” in the render settings panel.

  Every export results in a movie file with UPPER FIELD dominance which looks bad in my FCP project which is XDCAM 1080p30. If i change the FCP sequence field dominance setting to “upper field,” the clips from AE look crisp and clean but all my footage is 1080p so that’s what I want to keep it. Can anybody tell me why this is happening?

  Thanks.

  Thanks Dave,

  Problem solved.

  The clip in QT viewer showed no interlacing so in FCP, from the browser I right-clicked the file, item properties>format>field dominance was set to “upper(odd)” Changed it to none, re-rendered on the timeline and now it looks like it should.

  My mistake was was trying to affect the clip while it was on the FCP timeline.

  You nailed it. Cheers.

  Nat
