AE to Avid madness
Well I thought I knew how to do this but I’m flailing around like an amateur.
I’m attempting an import of stills with camera moves from AE to Avid (Xpress DV). I’m getting more moving jaggies than I can shake a hundred sticks at. Wasn’t sure if it were bad anti-aliasing, bad field order or what; so I did a series of tests on a pattern of lines and circles that I drew up.
Best results (and not bad either) were:
in AE 720 x 405 comp; interpret footage as fields off – DV NTSC aspect ratio, rendered 720 x 405
Quicktime DV codecin Avid 16:9 video, import set to non-interlaced
When I try the same settings with one of the images I want to import I get crap. Yet when I try using the Stagetools Moving Picture plugin it looks o.k. WhatamIdoinwrong with the AE – Avid ??
thanks, Craig Umanoff

Could be other things, but the first thing that jumps out to me is that you’re AE comp is 720 x 405. I’ve never had very good results bringing anything into the Avid that wasn’t at it’s native D1 resolution, 720 x 486.
