    Hi there,

    Is VGA card influencing the quality of movie file in AE?

    My company is producing wedding video album and having problem that the image appeared is not sharp and clear. The image is not still but ‘shaking’ and blurred.

    We are thinking if to improve our VGA card in PC whether will help in quality of image when making movie in AE.

    Would appreciate very much for any useful adivice.

    Thanks in advance.

    Cheers
    Kim

    Absolutely not.

    Quality is based on which output device you use not on graphic card.

    Output devices have their own codecs.

    There is only one, AE!

    Blurry/shaky video is usually caused by a miss match in your video codec. For example:

    AE is set to 29.97frames per second / Low Field First
    Output Device (Final Cut Pro or Avid or Premire or ???) is set to 30 frames per second / Upper Field First

    There can also be problems if the composition size in AE doesn’t match your Output Device.

    DV Codec = 720 x 480 non-square pixels, lower field first, 29.97 frames per second

    I’ve rendered a movie by accident at 640×480 and it’s looked “blurry”. It’s also a very common problem to have your field dominance wrong (upper field first/lower field first)

    Hi,

    Thanks for your reply and sorry for checking the answer late.

    Can you explain further about what you said:

    ‘It’s also a very common problem to have your field dominance wrong (upper field first/lower field first)’

    What do you mean by upper/lower field?

    Thanks for your assistance again!

    Regards
    Kim
