  • Exporting issue

    Posted by Felipe Da volta on April 8, 2008 at 4:11 pm

    I imported some quicktime movies to my project.

    When i export my comp to a QuickTime movie, some of the movies i imported just don’t play. They show like pictures on the exported movie. It successfully exports to a movie, but some frames aren’t like they were supposed to be.

    When i run a RAM preview, everything is fine.

    Should i import uncompressed movies?

    oh… i’m on a 2.0ghz/2gb/128mb vid iMac! (not enough memory maybe??)

    Most of them are H264… what codec would you suggest?

    Thanks already

    Thank you!

    Last time i used Render Queue…
    didn’t solve it either…

    will try Quicktime’s Animation…

    thanks!

    yes… just what i’ve been doing… h264 for output…

    it’s now rendering… now we’ll wait and see!!

    [Dave LaRonde] “And don’t export, render using the Render Queue.”

    …sounds like a candidate for “Stock Answer #2”, LOL.

    well.. sorry if i’m new to after effects….

    did not work as well … used animation to all clips I imported to after effects.. and in the final rendered movies, they are like a picture…

    some of them work… don’t know what else to try…

    the latest version of quicktime!

    it’s not a playback issue…
    it plays the whole thing very smoothly…

    sorry if i wasn’t clear…

    i’ve imported some quicktime movies into AE…
    they’re all in a composition, with animations, effects… text…

    the quicktime movie i get from AE (render queue…) plays ok on my machine.
    but those movies i imported now show as still images.
    and they were fine previewing on AE

    “not a playback issue” – quicktime is fine… the movie plays smoothly, but it’s not exactly what I created in AE…

    Hmm. Is this the process of importing and rendering?

    MOV1 (OK) -> AE (OK) -> MOV2 (OK).

    MOV2 looks good in Quicktime Player?
    But MOV1 looks bad in Quicktime Player?

    MOV1 looks OK in QT and in AE

    MOV1 doesn’t look good in MOV2 in QT

    So in QT Player, you watch MOV2. And inside MOV2, MOV1 looks bad. Right?
