AE render quality again…
I’ve read all the posts I could find on AE render quality and still am confused!
I’m using AE to green screen DV footage. I export my clips from Premiere as microsoft DV AVI. I import the footage as microsoft DV AVI into AE, do the keying and export the comp as lossless video for windows (Quality on high) in the render que.
I then import the composites into Premiere and place them onto the timeline. Premiere then renders them again.
The video looks like it is deinterlaced,which isn’t all bad, but I must be doing something wrong. I tried turning on interlacing (lower field first) and it seems to jitter.
What should I be doing to get my original video quality back?

I think that microsoft DV AVI format will make your footage lose some details.Try TGA sequences.And I interlacing should be turned on as well.

Did you interpret as interlaced (AE will prob. do that automatically when it sees it’s a DV file)
Then, did you render with fields.
If you didn’t, only the first field is used in the final render. -
Thanks for the help. I tried these settings and got GREAT results:
Import the footage, then Interpret footage, Seperate Fields, Lower First, Motion Dection On (Seems to be the key to making interlaced video work)
Render Settings- Quality Best, Resolution Full, Field Render Lower First
Output Module- Click on lossless, Format Options- Microsoft DV
I’m getting back what looks like better footage than I’m putting in!

If you have the drive space, avoid using the DV codec until the very last stage (going back to DV tape!) Use Quicktime Animation (100% Quality) for all your intermediate rendering steps. You’ll get much better image quality, especially if you’re using chromakey.
