AE Rendering different than Preview

[Byron Fillmore]

I read earlier post from this board and made sure it is off.

I have figured out that it will not render as expected unless I render at 50%…it looks great when I do this… which is disappointing as I want the full resolution of the video.

Does this make any sense?

Thanks for your quick reply.

If Dave’s suggestion doesn’t fix it, we’re going to need a lot more information: specs of your computer, version of After Effects, format and codec of your footage, the format and codec into which you are rendering, etc.

64-Bit OS (Windows 7 Pro)
After Effects CS 5.5 (10.5.0.253)

Footage:
Shot from Canon 5D Mark II

Rendering:

The effect I am using on the video is from this tutorial.

I’ve basically duplicated the footage on a new layer and use an adjustment layer to render the smooth skin on the person in the clip.

When I render @ 100% the effect basically disappears. If I render @ 50% it works fine. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Would Premiere Pro suffice or do you think I should use a non-Adobe product?

I tried the suggestions above and I am getting similar results.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Here is a screenshot of the changes to the video clip when I view @ “Full” and @ “Half”

Any ideas? Thanks again!
