  • AE QT Reference issue…artifacting or corrupt?

    Posted by Ron Dejoseph on May 17, 2011 at 4:06 pm

    Having an issue inside AE CS5…mac based…10.6.5

    Creating a project in Avid MC 5.5…captured 30i…broadcast tv world…final product ntsc d1

    Exporting via Automatic Duck…aaf…it creates a qt reference file

    PIC 1 AND 1.1
    Here are pics of the qt reference file in my qt player…hard to tell from pic, but it looks like there is a field issue…I realize that this is a qt reference and that this was captured 30i, so is this normal for a qt reference to look interlaced?

    PIC 2 AND 2.2

    When duck imports the qt reference it imports with lower field for the SD footage

    PIC 3 AND 3.3

    Look at the artifacting I’m getting on the edges of my video!!!!! Crinkly lines…plus there’s little black speckles in it.

    FINAL PIC

    here is the artifacting i’m getting

    Now, when i have no field separation…there is no crinkly lines/speckles…but of course it’s unusable

    A Duck says it’s not their software….other macs in my building don’t have the same issue….What do you think this is?

    Dave,

    I showed you a full screen, non-composite shot so you could see the plain video edges clearly (as clearly as you can for the small pic size allowed to upload!)

    My series pieces are heavily composited

    Can you think of any reason for the artifacting/corrupted edges?

    I don’t think you can see the edges of the video in the pics attached clearly enough, perhaps i should have zoomed into the comp window tighter…there are rough edges all along the raster…this is the problem.

    the last pic in the post is what the final result looks like…and that pic is from qt player…and it looks the same inside avid
