Dave,

Thank you! I will hit this right away and let you know how things go over the next few days.

‘s what I get from reading email on my iphone. I now see Todd sent that last one. Much appreciated Todd!

All right,

So I’ve done a ton of reading on this over the last few days from the recommendations here. Gone all through the lynda.com sight and I actually own the After Effects Apprentice book so I went back to re-read all the sections on rendering I could.

Based on this, I took my footage through the test that Chris describes in one of the links that Todd supplied. As best as I can tell I do NOT have 3:2 pulldown in the footage. Every frame has movement in it and I don’t see the ‘tooth comb’ look.

I abandoned trying to use Animation as I was still getting the same error message and could not seem to locate a bad codecs and isolate it.

Instead I rendered to NONE for compression codec. It actually fully rendered some I’m wondering if this is a solution for now?

Also, I think I’m fubared on the frame rate thing. I rendered out a PNG sequence and I don’t get the same number of frames as the composition says are in there. I’m pretty certain this is probably because somewhere I screwed up frame rate but I don’t have the time to go back and fix it right now, much as that frustrates me. I’m still learning and feel I definitely need a better understanding of importing footage.

So aside from these two things I’ve at least got what I assume is a lossless render or at least as lossless as I’m going to get this time around?
