  Footage blurry in AE but not in Quicktime Player

  Posted by Jared Hobbs on January 22, 2009 at 4:03 am

  I’ve been trying to figure out why the Quicktime animation footage I have looks so blurry and articfacted in After Effects CS4 but when viewed in Quicktime the footage looks beautiful and crisp. I’ve even tried exporting the footage as a tga sequence and bring it into after effects and have the composition the same settings as the video and it still looks awful. Has anyone ran into this?

  Thanks,
  Jared

  Can you give more details? Post a screenshot?

  First place to check is make sure your Comp view settings aren’t throwing it off – put it to 100% and Full to make sure you’re seeing exactly what you think you’re seeing. If that doesn’t do it, check if the comp viewer is correcting for the aspect ratio of the footage – that will often cause artifacting and bad edges, particularly in text.

  If you can post a screenshot or give more details of exactly what you’re seeing, that might narrow it down a bit…
