My videos become pixelated after exporting them.
When I use after effects to add an effect such as a gun shot effect or something like that, it looks good in the video while working in after effects.
But then when I export it, and play it back to see how it exported, the video starts off fine, but then pixelates when the gun shot happens. Not just around the gunshot, but the whole picture does. Then when the gun shot is over, it goes back to high quality resolution.
It’s as if AE has trouble processing the effect in that portion of the video during exporting. Has anyone had this problem?

But this never happened before when using AE, and only started recently, and the video files are same as before. So is their anything I did differently before that made it work then?

Okay thanks. What should the settings be in both the output and the compressions settings be to retain the highest quality?

Well I want to export it out of after effects to be used in Premiere pro afterwards and placed in with the rest of the editing. I want the quality to just as high as it was originally shot, if possible.
We are aiming for film festivals and we shot at with a1080p camera at an H264 codec. In after effects, the effects look good but after exporting, it looks so much more pixelated compared what it was before. So I want to look just as high resolution going in, as it does going out, if possible.
I was able to do it before and I don’t see any settings that have changed.

Okay thanks, but what I still don’t understand is, is that why does the video look so good while in AE, compared to when it comes out? I export it as an uncompressed AVI file so shouldn’t uncompressed AVI look good?

Can you post some screenshots that show your entire Ae UI and that show the problem you’re seeing?

When yous say UI do you mean the screen that shows my export settings?
-
That’d be helpful. I’d also like to see your project settings, a screenshot that shows the entire UI in Ae (where presumably everything looks right), and a screenshot that shows what the problematic output looks like.

Okay I tried taking screenshots, but I’ve never done this before and I read instructions on how to do it, but when I do, nothing happens. I will keep trying.
