Missing and trailing pixels
Hi everyone. I’m hoping someone could help me figure out why these images are “breaking up” when played from the timeline. They are mov files captured in FCP 5.1.4 and then exported into After Effects 6.0 using Quicktime conversion.
The clip plays smoothly without loss from the project window but when played from the timeline pixelation occurs. Also, when exported back into FCP the image trails and appears pixelated. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
Here is an example of the problem I’m having.

What codec did you use to export the file? Really there’s no need to use Quicktime Conversion. You should just use Export > Quicktime Movie, using Current Settings.
It looks like a lossy codec was used.Joey Foreman

Thanks Joey. I’m trying to find the original FCP file and retrace my steps– I use the same codec for every export which is the Animation preset. The mystery is that I don’t get loss on every file– it happens seemingly sporadically. But I’m going to try it again the way you suggested. Thanks a lot!! I’ll repost after I try it out.

It seems to work with the new footage, but as I’ve noticed the breakage occurs so randomly it will be hard to tell for sure if the ‘new’ export method works until I’ve located the original (broken) FCP clips created for AfterFX and re-export. Thanks again!!
