Exporting mp4s have white frame at the end
I’m currently exporting mp4s from AE using the adobe media exporter. The files are using the mainconcept codec. The problem I’m having is that every file I export has a white from at the end. I have read a couple theories, 1 being that this happens if the audio is longer or if the fps is 29.97. I have shortened and turned off the audio and also set the fps to 30. I am go to 15fps as a final out put.
I am not just exporting 10 seconds of the project to make the export process shorter and I’m still getting the frame.
Before I was exporting an uncompressed AVI and having Squeeze do the work. The problem is we are eventually going to the web with the mp4s and everyone does not use the Sorenson codec. I also could just clip the last couple frames of with QTpro but we are going to have a tone of files to make and that will take a lot of extra time.
Any suggestions or help would be great.

Yes, I understand Sorenson offers mp4, with the Sorenson AVC Pro Codec and the Sorenson MPEG4 codec. I use it all the time. The problem with both of those is they don’t playback in all machines when using flash.
My issue is with exporting mp4 directly out of after effects using the standard mp4 settings. Has anyone encountered this white issue when using AE?

Thanks for the reply again Dave.
Maybe I didn’t explain myself well enough. The footage is just uncompressed AVIs and images, mainconcept is the codec that is used when making the mpeg4 file. I even did a test and made 2 boxes that were on screen for 10 seconds and still the mp4 had a white box at the end of it. This proves that it is not the footage that is causing the problem.
Can anyone repeat the steps I’m doing to see if the same problem occurs for them?
Make a new comp with anything on it. Add it to the Render Queue, change the settings so that the comp is rendered using the H.264 settings supplied by AE. And then see what comes out. AE relies on mainconcept for the mpeg compression, this option can not be changed and maybe that is what is causing the problem.

hmm, interesting. i’m getting the same end white frames when using the adobe media encoder from premier pro CS3. i’m trying to export from animation codec files on the timeline, same frame rate, same size export to h264. i ended up taking each exported h264 movie into quicktime pro and cutting the white frames at the end and resaving. when i export to h264 with the same animation files using qtime pro there is no white frames. haven’t tried it yet from afx. btw, i’m on dual core intel mac 10.4.1 using qtime 7.4.1.

FYI, i just did your test using afx to render the comp using h264 and i get the same white frames at the end as described.
