After Effects CS5 Renders are choppy and file is HUGEE!!

you may want to start a new thread on this if you want more input….

to summarize what i think you have right now:

you have an 1080 comp that is 25fps and you have 1080 footage in that comp that is 29.97fps (if it is not 29.97, 25 or 23.976fps, then there’s something else wonkey with the footage that we may need to correct), there may be other non-footage layers too, but those shouldn’t matter for this.

if this is true, then all you should have to do is set the comp’s frame rate to the footage frame rate (in composition>composition settings). that should not affect the audio pitch… unless perhaps there is a time effect on the footage, like timewarp….

you want to do this in the original comp with the original footage, you don’t want to bring a rendered version in and adjust the rate.

I started a new thread.. just thought this would be a simple fix and it would not be needed.

every thing you mentioned is correct. the footage is 29.97 in a comp that is 25 fps (1080) Im not using the audio from the footage so that doesn’t matter. its just one Mp3 song that im using that changes pitch (demon sound) when i change comp from 25 FPS to 29. this is where im stuck! 🙁
