    Hello,
    I’m working with uncompressed avi files in AE. I’m having a very frustrating issue, and I want to see if there was any kind of setting within AE that I could tweak to get my videos to look correct.

    The videos look fine sometimes, but usually the video looks terrible. It appears that the frames look fine as long as there is little movement in the scene, but once the scene changes, the video frame freezes (almost as if it wasn’t refreshing), then as the scene changes the video “wipes” itself clean again, and then the video returns to normal.

    Windows Media player and VLC both view the videos completely perfectly, however, AE does not!

    Any thoughts?

    Well, I’m seeing it in the RAM preview. Any thoughts on the what I can do/what the problem is?

    I’m importing uncompressed avi’s. I’m also rendering out uncompressed avi’s after my edits.

    I’m using CS4. I’ve tried out my project on two different machines (CS4 on both), and I get the errors on both. Here are the RAM’s for each computer: 2.98GB and 3.00GB.

    It’s also worth noting that I’ve done a lot of editing with a plethora of video types/containers (including uncompressed avi’s), and I’ve never had this issue before.

    Thanks for the replies! 🙂

    [Bailey Kalesti] “I’m importing uncompressed avi’s. I’m also rendering out uncompressed avi’s after my edits.”

    “Uncompressed” is a pretty loose term. RGB, YUV, 422, 444, 8-bit, 10-bit, packed, planar, run-length encoded…

    What flavor of uncompressed are you using? What uncompressed codecs do you have installed on your computer?
