    Best settings for exporting?

    Posted by Mcqueen on September 12, 2007 at 6:58 pm

    Just starting on AE. It took me 4 years to get the hang of Ulead’s Cool 3D so I am trying to shortcut my AE learning curve.

    I work in PAL both full res. and compressed DV. I understand that the field dominance of full res. PAL is Upper Field First and that the field dominance of PAL DV is Lower Field First so I will have 2 different outputs for the 1 animation.
    I can live with this.

    In Cool 3D i prepared widescreen anims as 1024 x 576, standard 4:3 as 720 x 576 and saved them as 32 bit .avi files. I saved them as both Upper Field First and Lower Field First and they imported overlayed and played back on a TV monitor faultlessly.
    I have tried a couple of simple anims on AE but I can never get them to render as fieldsonly frames and they are a wee bit jittery on TV playback.
    Any ideas on which settings are best for me?

    Thanks Dave. I am getting there now. Slowly though.
