After Effects CS3 Ruins My Video Why?
I am not new to After Effects but I am fed up with this jitter problem that I have. I am running After Effects CS3 on a Windows XP desktop. The footage that I import is .avi or .mov and I render out to a medium quality .mov without audio at 29.97 frames per second and at a 16:9 aspect ratio. I open the footage in my other editing programs and there is a jitter/playback/grow/shrink that happens to all the layers in my project. What can I do to fix the problem? Here is one test I made to show you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCymu6xIgfQ. My Email is my*************@***il.com if you would like to contact me. Thanks.

Is your source footage interlaced?

I think that it is interlaced but I’m not sure. I know I did not toggle with interlacing.

To see whether its interlaced move through the footage frame by frame in the layer or footage window, if you see any tearing you’ll need to change the interpretation of the footage. (File > Interpret Footage > Main)

You sample looks like the original footage may be a compressed format or long GOP format. If the original footage is HDV, MPEG or something other than uncompressed video you need to convert it first before working with it in After Effects.
Since there aren’t really frames in the original After Effects cannot interpret the footage accurately.

I do not have that commpeser that you were talking about. What information do I need to give you so that you can figure out what is wrong

Looks like the wrong field order, change the order in the src interperate window.
