After Effects video quality
OK, here is the deal. We shot the movie on a AG100A in 24P mode. I export clips from Premiere Pro with no compression, IE, Microsoft DV, and import it to AE. My comp settings are for 24 FPS. When I am done and choose Make Movie, I leave all the settings default, no compression and when I pull it back into pro and drop it in the timeline, the clip now looks as if there a frames mising and looks different than the original footage. Am I mising something somewhere? Also the footage does not look as clean as the original, it almost looks like it is compressed somewhat.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me.

Regarding the compression issues, if you are using MS DV to export to AE, you are likely recompressing, even if the original was in DV format. And a DV recompression, will indeed look pretty bad. A true uncompressed video should size 100 GB or more per hour of footage. Make sure you choose “Uncompressed” as your export setting.
What do you mean by “Missing” frame ? What are your project settings in Premiere ?
Cheers,

Thanks for the response guys. When I say “missing frames” I mean it has a “stuttered” look like there are frames missing on playback. And how do I remove the pull down before bringing it in to AE? I never thought of that. I know the AG100A does 24P, but it does a conversion in camera that is really 29.97 correct? Should my AE comp setings be 24 frames, or 23.97?
My PPro settings are the default project setting of Panasonic 24P, 48Khz. Nothing special. I will have to check my export saetings now. I thought the MS DV was uncompressed. If it is not, then I have a quite a few clips I would have to re-export.
Thanks again!

You will have to. DV compresses aprox. 1:5.
Check that out: drag an imported piece of footage from your camera (not from Ppro) into the timeline of AE. The result should be steady, not “stuttered”. If you use 24p in your footage, you should interprete it like that. If you have to convert it to an NTSC-Comp, the 0.97 frames are your problem. So export it from PPro in 24p, import it in AE as 24p and drop it in an NTSC-Comp.You can change AE interpreting footage using CTRL-F, that openes the settings.
And look at your export settings. If there

Hi,
My settings in PPro are 24P. When I export I have been using MS DV AVI. It always says 24 frames. When I choose uncompressed, it then asks for 8 or 10 bit. THe file size was considerably larger. When I import to AE, I changed my comp settings to 24 frame. IS there something else I should be doing? Someone else asked if I was removing hte pull down. How do I do that, if in fact I need to??
