  Rendering issues with HD Footage

  Posted by Cleverreel on May 16, 2007 at 3:58 pm

  Hello,

  I’m having an issue rendering/exporting DVCPRO HD 720p24 footage out of AE 7. What happens is after I’ve rendered my final comps and bring them into FCP5 they look all aliasy and ugly. My FCP project settings are set for DVCPRO HD and the footage was imported as such. So my question is:

  Is there a specific render setting in AE that needs to be calibrated accordingly?
  -I’ve already set my import settings to match the frame rate of the footage as well as set the comp settings to fit the original movie.

  Is there any other settings I’m overlooking? Or do I need to compress the HD footage to DV NTSC and just do my work that way?

  Any help is great, thanks.

  if you are using the dvcpro hd 720/23.98 comp preset in ae and your render settings are set to best (and you’re not render fields), then those settings should be good.

  are you rendering to the dvcpro hd codec or lossless (or another)? if you are rendering a quicktime dvcpro hd, you may need to make sure you set the compression type to dvcpro hd 720p and manually set the frame rate to 23.98 fromthe compression settings.

  are you using the dvcpro hd 720p24 easy setup in fcp? in fcp you will need to make sure that the settings jive with you ae output, the easy way is to use the easy setup presets from the fcp menu.
