  Aliased / pixelated export with DNxHD

  Posted by Joe Walter on August 11, 2014 at 7:28 am

  Hey,

  I have a huge problem – i hope this is the right forum, but since it occurs with after effects, I post it here:

  I just figured out, that the clips I export from AE CC 2014 all are very extremely pixelated.
  I use Avid DNxHD codec with the following settings:

  Color Levels: 709
  Alpha: None
  Resolutions: 1080p/25 DNxHD 185 8-bit

  A test-render with Animation codec looks just great. But IMHO the DNxHD should be able to look great, right?

  Here is an example:

  Dropbox seems to lower the quality for previews – so please click on download and open it from your harddrive.

  Any suggestions, what might help?
  Thank you in advance.

  Hi Joe,

  You are not alone, I have the same problem. Pixelated graphics when exporting to DnXHD but only on the red channel.

  I now export graphics as Quicktime/ PNG (smaller files/ better quality than Animation codec) but if anyone has a clue on how to prevent this, I’m all ears!
