    Pixallation Problem rendering with any compression

    Posted by Travis North on October 17, 2008 at 1:32 pm

    Hey Everyone,
    I have created a file at 1920 x 1080, square pixels about 8 seconds in length. When I render the file using the Animation codec, it is sharp and clean, but when I use the Sorenson 3 codec, the Logo (which is an imported illustrator file) and the text (typed in after effects) become pixellated. So I kept the animation codec setting and we made an FLV, but as soon as we did that the same thing happened. I have experimented and even if bring in the rendered version back into after effects and rerender with Sorenson 3, it still does the same thing. The only way its fine with any compression, is if i remove all colour from the animation.

    Does anyone have a suggestion as to what might be causing this?

    Thanks so much!

    Is it possible that your colours are illegal ??? try adding an adjustement layer and reducing the overall saturation a touch. Also, render out using progressive, then try comressing.

    Hi Mark,

    Thanks for the suggestions! As soon as I dropped the saturation, the sharpness increased, but I had to go into a really dull/light red. Have any suggestions on how I might be able to make it a brighter red without using an illegal colour?

    Thanks,
    Travis
