Jpeg photo moves are bad-jaggy, stairstepped

[Ed Cilley]

SOLVED!

So, I tried several of the suggestions from the posting here, the results were always the same (or worse), jaggy edges.

I finally started trying small renders and viewing the original QT file. When I turned off “Use Open GL Renderer” in After Effects, the images were sharp and clean. I went back to some original settings, 720×480, lower field, Animation Codec, NO Open GL Renderer, and tried again. Nice sharp edges.

I am using an Intel MacBook Pro, with AE 7.0. I turned down the amount of RAM usage that AE is allowed to use and solved the other problem I was having–crashes. Life is good.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the followup. Don’t know that much about OpenGL renders. I thought it was more for rendering previews instead of output. It’s impossible to keep up with all the ins and outs!
