MPEG 2 in AE 6.5
Hi there,
We are producing wedding video album where we animate the photos with effects and music.
At the moment, we have a problem that when rendering in AE 6.5 using MPEG 2, the white colour parts in movie appear ‘shaking’ but not running smoothly. This also happens to the hair part and some objects with lines.
Is there any way that we can do to improve the quality?
Glad and appreciate for any helpful advice.
Thanks

This “swimming” of MPEG blocks is quite common. The areas in question do not change enough so one block ist recycled across multiple frames making it look lie it is sticking or afloat from the other surrounding blocks. There is rather little you can do about it. You could add some minimum blur or noise in some areas and of course you can tweak your compression settings, but it will never go away completely.

Thanks for your assistance.
For compression setting, we have adjusted it to the highest setting and our end product is MPEG 2 DVD. Do you have any suggestion to improve the quality and the sharpness of the object in movie?
Thanks again and hope to hear from you soon.

No, not really. On the DVD side you’d have to interfere with the settings for quantization and apart from the fact that the AE exporter doesn’t provide this option, it’s no trivial thing to meddle at this level. Your best bet is to try and improve image quality on the AE side which can be anything from using effects such as Find Edges on a duplicate of your layer and then blended with the original in Overlay mode to using advanced sharpening/ resizing tools such as Digital Anarchy’s Resizer.
