  After effects render is jumpy, jittery

  Posted by Peggy Hrastar on October 5, 2014 at 12:50 am

  I am going out of my mind. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! I have a comp I’ve been trying to render and it comes out very jerky and jumpy.
  The comp is just 2 photoshop layers that I’m scaling and moving slightly in 3D -no camera [but when I used a camera, nothing changed in the render]

  Render settings-
  Best
  Full resolution
  Field render – off
  Use comps frame rate 29.97
  Format – Quicktime – Have tried both Animation and JPEG
  Both the quicktime movie and any H.264 or mpeg4’s I have output to are very jerky and jumpy.
  The preview looks fine, but I can see when it is rendering its stuttering. I have AE CC 2014 so no openGL issues, right?
  The photoshop file was made as a film format – 1920×1080 to match my comp. The bigger layer is 1433×1053.
  THANK YOU for your input!!

  THANK YOU!!
  I ended up using a higher frame rate [50] and rendered as an AVI [I’m on a PC and that seems to do better than direct to Quicktime.
  Then I exported it from quicktime Pro as a Quicktime using my original target frame rate of 29.97. Looks better!!
  thanks
