After Effects won’t export @ 1080p
This is driving me crazy. I need to export something at 29.97FPS 1920×1080 PROGRESSIVE. I want to use the Animation codec because it is the most known among my peers (some of whom are not too codec savvy) which is making this even a bigger problem.
Everytime i export from after effects it gives me 1920x1080i upper fields interlaced. This would be great if i wanted to take these exports and put them to NTSC broadcast, problem is I don’t.
I can’t find settings anywhere to export 1920x1080p Animation codec from after effects, any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks Dave!
The entire sequence is actually an export from Maya so its defiantly a true 1080p, and while the end broadcast format will be 1080i, we are just trying to lose as little quality as possible passing it from one designer/producer to the next. (have had projects were someone will deinterlace/ then render and reinterlace/only to have the next editor deinterlace it again)
I’ve actually have always used the render queue, but have only been dealing in the world of TV fields for a short time, never thought to look for the field settings in the render settings (I have always been checking the codec settings/output module).
Problem Solved, thanks again!

I’m actually having the same problem. My after effects comp is 1920×1080 29.97 fps. I want to export a 1080 P movie. I’m exporting via the render queue as an uncompressed QT and in my render settings, “field render” is set to “off”
This comp is made up of type and stills only, no video footage at all.
Every export results in a movie file with upper field dominance. Is there another setting I’m missing?
Thanks.

hey Nat,
What program is telling you it is interlaced?
If it is FCP, ive noticed that sometimes if the settings match what it thinks “should be” an interlaced comp, it will set it to be, even if it isn’t.
You can manually turn off the field dominance in FCP, and if it is a True 1080p, you will get the full resolution.
If you are getting field lines in QT or something, that’s a whole other problem, but don’t ever trust what FCP “thinks” your comp is, it is wrong…a lot…trust your eyes :).
