    export question

    Posted by Nelson May on April 17, 2009 at 2:35 am

    I am building a lot of graphics with AE and moving them into FCP. My comp settings are 29.97 and I am going into NTSC-DV. I am still having to render the graphics is FCP upon import. Is there a aspect ratio I am missing. Is AE working on square pixels as opposed to rectangle pixels in NTSC-DV? Is that my render problem. I haven’t used motion for a while, but if I remember, motion graphics dropped into FCP without a problem. I have also done some work in Premier and with roundtripping I have still had to render the graphic.

    For some reason I can’t edit this post, but I export from AE always as an animation for graphic work.

    You’ve answered your own question in the follow-up post.

    If you’re mixing codecs on the FCP timeline, you’re going to have to render. Animation codec files in a non-animation sequence will always show up red.

    If you don’t want to do another render process in FCP then you have to match your AE render settings to your FCP sequence settings. You’re not doing anything “wrong” that’s just the way it is.

    Hope that helps,
    Ben

    Thanks, it does, but I have exported in NTSC-DV or the same frame rate/resolution I am editing with and the final export didn’t have the quality I wanted. I guess, I was getting aliasing and decided to go the animation route for the smoothest render.
