    Hello All,

    I need help–Something has gone haywire with my AE settings. I have a .psd (large res) or a client’s web site. I’m in 3D, doing a simple move down the web page. Every render I try produces blocky, unreadable graphics on the move–it renders like when I’m scanning the timeline. I’ve tried rendering fields vs. frames, I’m using the Advanced 3D renderer (I’ve tried others), motion blur is turned on. RAM previews are clean, but not the renders.

    Help please–on a deadline–can’t think…

    Dave

    Are your render settings set to Best Settings in the render queue?

    Thanks for the suggestions, guys…As it turns out, the largest problem (no pun) was the fact that my high res .psd file was simply to big and that was causing a good bit of the blockiness. When I reduced the file size by about half in Photoshop (I still had enough resolution to play with), the problem cleared up quite a bit.

    Before you take the dive into a 64-bit Windows OS, make sure that any drivers you need for your hardware/devices are compatible! It pays to do your homework on this, because if some part of the whole puzzle doesn’t work then you could end up not being able to use any of your new toys!

    I seem to have been posting too much… I’m beginning to forget which thread I’m in, soon I’ll swear there are cows stalking me at work.

    Sorry for the mis-post everyone
