horizontal lines apperaring after compression

[Chris Blair]

Looks like interlace artifacts to me. We need to know how the original uncompressed file was created. Pixel resolution (1920×1080; 1280×720; 720×486 etc.), frame rate, pulldown or no pulldown; was it rendered with fields or frames etc.

My guess is you rendered fields. With such a simple animation and such slow movement, and considering your final output is displayed on a computer, I’d render using frames and turn on motion blur. It’ll take a little longer to render, but that should eliminate what you’re seeing. I don’t know of anything in compressing to an flv that would cause what you’re seeing.

Hi Chris, first of all, thank you for your reply.
Here is a link to the video in question
https://www.flotaskydive.com/content/view/15/17/
the video i posted above is an old project but with the same problem. Original cello is rendered from AE:
uncompressed
pixel resolution is 650×260 (requested flv size is the same),
25fps,
no fields rendered and
no pull down.
sample videos are a bit smaller cause they dont fit on my test page.
have in mind that its work in progress and color correction and other fixes have not yet been done.
any comments are welcome

Your encoded frame size needs to be equally divisible by 16 or 8:

The player on the webpage needs to have exactly those dimensions, do not let the player rescale the video.

Thanks Daniel!
I followed the tip, made a new test comp in AE, size 448×336, exported it without compressing(picture looks great no lines),i put it in sorenson,encoded the same size to flv,what i ended up with, is on the site

video on top
no rescaling was done by the player, neither now or in the previous examples.
as you can see my problem did not go away.
i have the same resolution from the start in AE comp till the end encoded as flv (and it is divisible by 16).
I must be doing something wrong i guess
this compression thing is amazing

Hi
i finally came to an end with my problem.The flv player on our sight its the one to blame, because when i put the same flv file on youtube the picture is good, and no lines appear.
thanks again for all the help
best regards
