Problems with quicktimes made in adobe after effects
I’m having problems with quicktimes I have exported from After Effects. I have maintained the same codec etc throughout the process which is HVD 1080i50 but when I play the files back in FCP it keeps on stopping, I tried rendering them with all everything selected in the render menu but it sitll won’t play then back without stopping. I know I can turn it to unlimited RT, and turn off the report dropped frames during playback, but I don’t wish to do either of these and the system we are using should have no problems handling the footage. Also its at the same bit rate that the other files I’m working with and I have no problems with those. anyone know why this happens or do you have any suggestions???

Hi Anna,
I would suggest you to export from AE with any other codec instead of HDV.
First because is a very compressed format. All the quality and picture improvement you can get in AE will
be crunched when you export back to HDV. Also I guess that can take ages to export.
What is your final output format?
Are you printing back to HDV tape?

Ana,
Then, I think, you should go ProRess.
Edit in a ProRess sequence with the specs of your output format.
If you do something in AE, export with same specs of your sequence.
You can get something really nice done, but avoid to go back to HDV.

okay I’ll try that, I’m on assistant editing on this project and it is already quite advanced with the sequences set at HDV and all the footage has been captured in as HDV rather than prores due to space limitation, although its a very large system they are editing many projects from the same raid storage.
thanks again for your help

Hi Anna,
You can keep editing in HDV.
Before rendering change the sequence codec to ProRess and export to that codec.
Everything will look far better.
You have also the option of keeping your sequence HDV while rendering to ProRess (in the Sequence Setting). This will gives you faster rendering and better RT performance.
Just try that whatever thing that is not footage (ie AE graphics) bring it in a codec better than HDV.
You simply can get much better quality with even less effort.
