  • Moving between Final Cut and AE

    Posted by Adam Elder on April 1, 2006 at 9:00 am

    I am trying to render out a video uncompressed from final cut to bring into IE, render again, and go back but every codecc I try leaves grain, brightened picture, and other obvious compression issues. What formats do I use to go between the two? I have tried animation because thats what Ive always used before, but that looks like it has an overlay of colorful grain. Im read somewhere something changed with the switch to QT7 and animation has some weird issues now. I cannot get AE to read DV files, and now Im rendering out a Photo Jpeg Quicktime but its taking forever. Can anyone tell me what formats are good for this situation?

    I bounce between these apps every day without any issues. I can export my native DV from FCP as QT or as reference, I can export or render out of A6.5 or AE7.0 using Animation or DV. No problems.

    The issues you are describing could be caused by lots of things but I doubt it’s QT7. However, uncompressed isn’t necessarily the same thing as lossless.

    There’s something wrong at your end, for sure, but your symptoms aren’t easily diagnosed. More details such as: Did it ever work? What did you change recently?

    Thanks. I tried reading the original DV capture format in my After Effects on the mac and it can import it fine. I dont know why it wont on my pc. The animation codec also works fine on the mac. Looks like I will be reinstalling everything on the PC.
