Trouble with moving still images across the screen
I am having what I believe to be interlace issues with moving still images across the screen. Although they are very crips images they get soft while animating them. To the poiunt of being unusable. I have tried deinterlacing them in Photoshop, I have tried different interpretations in AE, I have tried to reduce Interlace flicker. I have exported different fileds first and no fields, I have tried different compressions….running out of ideas and time. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Jeep

Dave…thanks for the thoughts…The images I am use are at around 20% of their size, so that doesn’t seem to be it. I checked there is no blur filters and they are photographs and not vector images, so that doesn’t seem to be right??????
Thanks, Jeep

My first thought is that you’re seeing the results of subpixel interpolation, as described here:
“Layer image quality and subpixel positioning”
If my guess is correct, then switching the layer to Draft mode will prevent the softening.
That said, images in motion tend to have motion blur in the real world, so some softening is realistic. (Not that you need to have soft images, but note that crispness is not realistic in moving things.)

Hi Jeep,
one of my popular mistakes is setting the preview quality to “half” and forgetting that afterwards… Does the softness appear in the rendered files as well? Which format of still image did you import?
Did you switch motion blur off?That´s what I did wrong when getting those results.
Good luck!

Axel…Thanks for the thoughts and ideas…How I seemed to solve it was change my composition settings simply to be the 720 HD setting instead of making a custom setting I had going. I also did check my preview settings and motion blur. I am importing Jpeg and Photoshop formats with resolutions between 72 and 125 usually keeping file size 1-2 megs. Thanks all for the input…now I can get some work done.
Thanks, Jeep
