Hello,
Can anyone know how to preview composition output on TV?
Thanks in advance

Just hook up a DV converter, deck, or camera (caveat: not all cameras will do this) to your FireWire, then go to AE’s preferences and turn on the video preview.
This is a relatively recent feature (6.0?) on the Windows side, but the Mac has had it for a couple of versions longer. In other words, if you don’t see the video preview options in th preferences, you need to upgrade.

I should clarify my comment about cameras. All DV cameras should accept the signal from AE and at least show it on the LCD, but not all will pass along that signal to a TV hooked up to the camera’s A/V ports. Some that will may require you change a setting in the camera’s menus, or that you don’t have a tape in the camera.

Thank you very much for your response, actually I have graphic card (GeForce mx4000). My card has TV out port and it works fine with premier but doest work with Aftereffects.
Is there any way?
Thanks in advance -
Yes and no. The TV out on that board isn’t like the direct FireWire output that video applications use. What that card does is provide TV output of the video overlay channel. Anything the video apps feed into the overlay channel (for example, Premiere’s monitor window) the card will put on the TV.
I don’t know if AE uses the overlay channel to begin with. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t, but you still could try playing with the card’s overlay settings and see if you can get any results. Regardless, you’re better off using the FireWire output. It’s native to AE, it’s the one actually feeding the video out, not going through 2 or 3 layers of DirectX and drivers like what happens with your video card.
