Problems with Quality setting in timeline – BUG?
I am officially Losing my mind now.
I have some very very strange things happening in AE.So I import a piece of footage that I’ve keyed and prerendered. It looks good. Sharp, exactly what it should be. I drag it onto the new comp button in the project window and a new comp is created tailor made for the clip. Like I’ve done a MILLION TIMES! I look at the clip in the comp window. Still looks good.
I hit apple-k and pull up the comp settings, change the width and height to what I need it to be and then it happens. The footage now looks like total crap. It’s like looking @ DV footage in Quicktime Pro without the High qualiity enabled in the visual settings. It looks terrible. What has happened? When I say it looks bad, I mean it actually looks blurry.
The quality in the timeline is set to best ( which is still the solid black bar “/” and not the dotted bar right).
Can someone please tell me what is happening or is this happening to anyone else?
I can remember this happening to me when I precomp stuff but it hasn’t for a while. I’m thinking a BIG STINKY BUG in AE but I could very well be overlooking something.
I should also mention that if i flip the quality setting to draft, it actually goes back to looking good again. But I’ve tried rendering this with both settings and it comes out looking like crap. Render settings are alway set to best and full rez.
I hope this is enough info.
Any takers?

it sounds like a conflict between your footage interpretation settings and your comp settings. would you mind looking those up? you might find that your pixel aspect ratio is different from the comp settings.

Hmm. No – square pix all around. This is very strange.
Thanks for responding though!
