Why when I output does SLOW MOTION footage look hazy and wobbly?
Hi there
Basically Ive made a project in after effects and been trying to render it out in AE. My problem is that when im outputing slow motion footage, even if it wasnt made slow mo in AE, and was imported as slow motion, when I output, the video kind of wobbles and looks hazy. Its like every second frame is going all weird…has anyone ever had this problem before? Its really frustrating! Dont know what im doing wrong with the settings.
Thank in advance!!

What is your host editing syste, (where are the slo-mos coming from and where is the final going?) Are the image blurry and freaky only inside AE, or when you go to output. Also, what CODEC are you using to get out of AE.
Thanks

Sounds like a field issue. Check your footage interpretation and make sure whoever created the slowmo in the editing suite was/ is aware of the importance of the right field settings as well.

The images look fine in AE…its only when u render them out that the quality goes dodgy. I have tried loads of different codecs all with the same result. When I do Export as… the problem doesn’t happen but the quality isnt as good. Whereas when I do Make Movie, the quality is great, but the slow mo parts are all weird.
im not sure what u mean by host editing syste?

Hey
what should the right field settings be, out of interest?
cheers

Well, that really depends. Avid systems for instance have options to duplicate/ merge fields and reverse the field order. I other programs it may be called differently. Thing is, that the effects/ routines used for slowmo and sppedup stuff are usually not aware of the field order once the footage is on the edit suite, so you need to tell them again that you are e.g. handling NTSC footage on a NTSC system with lower fields first.

all the footage is PAL on PAL systems……should it be lower field first?

It should be uper field first for PAL, but if you are editing native DV footage, it’s lower field.
