Exporting Quality Poor For No Reason
Hi all, i have been going through a lightsaber tutorial to have some fun with an avi file. Basically a lightsaber fight. I had no problem with the tutorial, but when i came to exporting the final thing, i keep getting an export which is very poor in quality. I have obviously tried exporting with different compressions and changing the settings so that the export is high on quality, but it is not as good as the full quality i originally had. I also notice it is slightly jumpy. And finally, since the lightsaber effect is suppose to follow the handle on the original footage, it does not. Even though it does in the after effects window and when i export it using quicktime. I dont know why, its as if it is out of sync. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks

Perhaps you’re working on DV footage that has been deinterlaced for playback in AE BUt you’re rendering out using fields, so the motion may not be lining up on every field ?
Anyway I suspect there’s some kind of field/interlacing issue going on here.
Can you post a small clip somewhere ?

Holo,
There are always somethings you could have overlooked.
So check:
Iff your qaulity wire draft is set to right in the timeline(this icon / )
Check you rendersettings
quality best
resolution full
frame bleding on!!!
iff you used motion blur on!!!you should use quicktime no compression or avi no compression.
And use the upper field, aspecialy iff you take it to an edit application.
Render it out and you we see it good.
Think about that, on tv it always looks better.grtz
Tiel.
Peace

Why upper field? If you’re final output is DV (which it may not be) then the field order should be bottom field first. If you are using another video format then you need to check the specs for it.

Just as Filip said – most likely a fields-realted issue. Check your footage interpretation and your render settings. As for the jumpy playback – I wouldn’t make to much of it when viewing your file on the computer. There can be a plethora of reasons why it’s choppy from old CoDecs to general system problems or simply insufficient CPU and graphics card performance. The only advise in that regard I can give; If you intend playback on the computer, don’t use “keyframes” on the compression. they will only make your data rates go up and can cause slowdown. That aside, you only know if your footage is okay if you check it on the target device – if it’s supposed to run on a TV, only playing it to tape or burning a test DVD will give you ultimate control.

I found out what it is,
looking at the updated image
https://blue-fly.co.uk/example.png
the poor quality image is a nested comp. Ideally I would like the hearts to animate in their own timeline. I could get away with it in this project but I can see this being a problem in the future.
Any help much appreciated.
