After Effects “Uncompressed” Export problem.
Hi, I’m having some problems with exporting out from After Effects. I put all settings at max quality and uncompressed but the footage still doesn’t look nearly as good as the original. I figured since its “uncompressed”, I shouldnt lose any quality right? Heres is a sample below of the problem and “jaggies” ive run into.

In the Premiere shot I can see a comb-like effect on the hand which indicates fields but I don’t see that on the AE render. Are you separating the fields on import and rendering to fields on output? It looks like you may separating the fields but not field rendering?

the original uncompressed Premiere Pro file is Lower Fields, and I export in Lower Fields. Is there anything else I missed? Also, when watch the files side by side seperately, the After Effects uncompressed file is stretched out slightly. What’s causing this?

So you are separating the fields on import into AE and rendering out Lower Field First from AE? The stretch sounds like a pixel aspect ratio issue. Check the footage resolution and pixel aspect ratio and check that the comp size and pixel aspect ratio matches. Also make sure you aren’t stretching the render in Output Modules (Render Queue).

yes on the first question. for the second, im using 720×480 DV NTSC 0.9 on everything, so it can’t be that. and i definitely have “stretch” unchecked on the queue. what else could it be? its driving me nuts

Try rendering to a different codec or maybe use a TGA sequence and see if the problem is still there.
