AE to PPro to AVI
-
The AE AVI is fine (if not extremely large because it’s rendered as uncompressed.) And I can view it just fine in PPro.
When I’m PPro, generally I already have the captured (real video) set, and I add the AE AVI on a new video layer, where I want it, then I export the entire timeline. That resulting new AVI (out of PPro) is where I encounter the problems. The captured video is fine. Anything I’ve done inside of PPro is fine, but the AE imported AVI doesn’t look right, it looks jittery.For the numerous folks who have already posted on here, one of the things I always make sure of is what a lot of you have said. When I work across applications, I always make sure my settings are identical. First, the captured video in PPro is standard DV (720×480) at 29.97 fps. In AE, all my comps are the same setting and rendered as uncompressed AVIs.
It’s when I tell PPro to ‘Export Movie’ (as AVI), the resulting file shows the AE parts having a case of the jitters.
Funny thing is, just for curiosity’s sake, I exported the same thing out as a Windows Media File and much to my surprise, everything looked fine, even the AE parts. So now I’m really baffled.
Oh well, I think I’m going to start playing with the numerous encoders, both within AE as well as PPro and see what I find out.

Have you tried exporting the video from AE as DV AVI rather than Uncompressed? Still though – it shouldn’t happen.

Haven’t tried that yet. I try to avoid compressing anything out of AE since they will get re-compressed when I’m in PPro. This way I prevent double compression.

Hi…
Just to reiterate…
“Jittery” almost always means a Field Dominance mismatch between sources…
You need to render out either Upper or lower field dominance from AE for use in PPro for layering….
The source will look fine by itself….
When you combine it on the PPro timeline…that’s when you will notice it…
