HD renders in FCP
Working with 1920×1080/23.98 quicktimes rendered out of After Effects 8.0.2, FCP 6.0.3, Quicktime 7.4.5 with 8-core MacPro and Kona 3.
When I’m dropping in these movies into a 1920×1080 8-bit timeline in FCP, and adding a dissolve, the image looks horrible. It stutters, the playback is awful, only where the effect is added. It seems like a quicktime issue or the way Final Cut Pro is rendering it. Is anyone else seeing this?
As a test, we created he same file in Motion, and it’s fine. Just seems like what’s coming out of After Effects is the problem, but only when it comes into FCP. If we throw it from the AE quicktime right into the da Vinci Resolve and do the dissolve on da Vinci, it’s OK. Whether we use a dissolve effect or an opacity change in FCP, the result is a crappy looking stuttery result.
Have a tone of graphics already rendered out of AE and conformed in FCP timeline and really can’t afford the time to go through and do each dissolve in da Vinci.

“Are the After Effects files rendered Upper Field First? They should be.

Make sure to render 23.976 out of AE and not 23.98.
