AE renders different than Media Encoder
Hi! I recently made a video for a job using 3D camera tracker and a couple of 3D text layers, all was good until I rendered and the result was some terrible-looking choppy text, I dropped the project on Media Encoder and the result was much better, just as I had seen it in the AE preview.
I made a test video to show what I’m talking about.
This is the test video rendered with Media Encoder: https://youtu.be/JLHTjYCOFSM
And this is a comparison between the two: https://youtu.be/c4uBHfFmhcwIf you watch in HD you’ll notice that the right-hand side text moves very strangely, also the colors are slightly off, the Media Encoder version looks just like the preview in AE.
The settings I used were for both were
Codec H.264
Resolution: 1920×1080
Frame rate: 29,97fps
VBR 1 Pass, target: 32Mbps, max 40MbpsWhy is this happening? any clue?

Show screenshots of your output module settings in After Effects and your export settings in Adobe Media Encoder.

Since you’re saying that the output looks correct from Adobe Media Encoder, then the simple answer is that you should just use Adobe Media Encoder.
In fact, the next version of After Effects won’t even have the ability to directly export the H.264; the After Effects exporter was inferior to the Adobe Media Encoder (AME) exporter, so we’re making AME the only choice for exporting H.264 movies.
