  • after effect video blury after import

    Posted by Christopher Ortiz on February 3, 2012 at 2:11 am

    So I cut some clips up in premiere pro and exported as media with QuickTime h.264 so I couldnget. .mov files.
    Now when I import it into after effect it comes out blurry and fuzzy.
    The video looks fine when I play it with windows media player but once imported to after effect it looses quality.
    Am I doing something wrong or is there a different way to import/export video with out quality loss

    Not its on full look here are some pictures so that you can understand my problem a little better.

    This is a picture of how the video looks if you pay attention in the text where it says one shot kill it looks all choppy and boxy

    This is a picture of the video playing in windows media player looks way better..

    Here is a picture of the settings everything is set right or is it??

    You are interpreting your footage incorrectly. Right click on the footage in the project window, choose Interpret Footage –> Main… and change the fields setting from “lower field first” to “none”. Or maybe it’s called “progressive”, I can’t recall, but you need to tell AE that it doesn’t need to remove any fields, which effectively cuts the resolution in half.
