    Hello Everyone –

    I just finished a 30 second comp for trust finances. When I ram preview the clip views perfectly but when I export a best quality at high res the 3d objects show up all big and blurry and don’t look right. Is there something I am doing wrong? Any help would be great… THANKS!

    I don’t know what’s going on, but here’s 2 things to check :

    1) are you doing your RAM preview at full resolution? Do you have the switches on for anything you’re using such as motion blur, Draft 3D turned OFF…

    2) if so, try saving the RAM preview out and see what happens (go to Composition > save RAM preview).

    Also, you may like to clarify for us what you mean by 3D objects. Do you mean 3D layers, or have you imported video from a 3D render?
    If you are using 3D layers, do you have depth of field turned on? If the layers are outside the focus area, they will start to blur.

    Don’t Export your composition. Render it.

    Indeed!

    What Joey’s talking about is using the File > Export command… don’t do it! (I’m not saying that you necessarily WERE…)

    You should always render your work out through the render queue, where you have control over the settings and all that 🙂

    Hey Guys –

    I got it to work. It was due to having the focus depth on. Thank you so much for your help.
