h.264 steppy rendering in AE

[Jason Fisher]

Generally, both! But that clip is PAL.

I can’t figure it out. I’m getting the same problems as you. As it’s building the RAM preview all looks fine, all frames are displayed, but on playback I get the dropped frame effect.

Just for fun I transcoded the clip in Episode and converted the frame rate to 29.97 and took that back into AE within an NTSC comp. It’s not perfect but it looks much better than before.

I’m stumped.

Thanks for taking a look Danny. I’l try Adobe support.

On the side note, do you know why DVD SP doesn’t recognize h.264 clips?
