render issues
Does anyone ever get faint horizontal lines/bars on thier rendered file?
They are faint, but noticable and happens frequently?
Could it be a interlace issue, any ideas? -

More info would be helpful. What is your source footage ? What do you render to ? Uncompressed or using a codec ?

need more info – most of the time though,if you’re experiencing this in a 3D project, try switching to the advanced 3d renderer in your comp setting.

In the format box I used the “microsoft dv” option for compression.
Exporting to the hardrive is an .avi file.
Is it better to not compress, or what is the best codec to use for standard dv ntsc 720×480 30fps, or 24fps?
It is not a 3d project, just dv footage. -
Did you move, scale, rotate or distort any imported DV footage? If so, and the footage was interlaced, select the footage in the project window, hit file>interpret footage>main, and separate the footage’s fields lower first.
That may be it …

Ahh, I bet that’s the problem. I think Steve is on the money. I’ll stick that one in my “why didn’t I think of that first” folder 🙂

I had the same problem, and I think it has nothing to do with fields. but with the use of after effects together with premiere and the dv codec, do you also use premiere to edit? I havent had the problem with other editing software, like pinacle edition.

good point, I think Premiere uses a Mainconcept dv codec internally and it’s problematic for some. If Premiere is part of your workflow, this could be it. You can switch to the microsoft DV codec, i believe most people are using a panasonic dv codec as it is much better.

Just to answer your original question, you should definetly export as uncompressed, whether you are going to Premiere or any other editor. DV was designed for camcorders, not for compositing or animation applications. Even if you are working with original DV footage, AE will have to recompress a second time.
Good luck.

Yes to all questions…I use premiere.
I also did distort by adding some color correcting filters.
Do I need to change the codec in premiere to the panasonic codec?
Thanks so much for everyone’s response.
