  • Pixelated Comps & Video on Half Res Renders or

    Posted by Matthew Severin on January 7, 2009 at 3:11 pm

    I am working on a project that is to be viewed across 5 displays at 6992 x 768. When I do final renders I render out 5 separate comps at 1360 x 768 each.

    However for project reviews I render out one single comp at 1/3 or 1/4 resolution.

    The problem I have is this. The project has many elements – shapes, text, campaign photography, video, etc…

    When I output in the render queue – Lossless, Best Settings (Resolution ‘Half’ or less) my video elements and my nested comps come out pixelated while everything else is sharp.

    Please let me know if anything can be done

    Sorry for any confusion, I’ll answer any specifics I can

    No Proxies are being used

    All Quality checkboxes are on ‘best’

    All Comp > Advanced settings> Preserve resolution when nested is ‘checked’

    When I render full res/best quality (1360 x 768) all elements look great.

    When I render everything at best possible quality, but with a half res setting (680 x 384) mostly my video elements (which I realize now are nested) and some other nested comps come out pixelated.

    I do not expect a 680 x 384 comp to look good blown up to 1360 x 768. I do however expect the comp to look good & sharp at 680 x 384.

    I’ve attached images to show what I get, (this is actually 1/4th, but I get the same issue at 1/2 anyway)

    Image 1 shows the pixelated video, image 2 shows a photo from the same render that looks great.

    And again if I render full res, the video looks just fine.

    Hope this helps.

    Sorry, I don’t see any stills at all.”

    The new image/video upload function is very cool but it’s not a one-step process. You must copy and paste the URL that will appear in the “successful upload” box back into the post.
