RENDER PROBLEMS in after effects cs3

[Joel Graves]

it is a basic motion graphic movie made with AE.
i have tried numerous output settings..for example:
(Render Que)
–Render Settings : Best Settings (i left this alone)
–Output Module : Format > Quicktime Movie
Format Options > DV/DVCPRO NTSC
> PNG
> Video
> DVCPRO PAL
what you see above is all i changed, which isnt much.
i have tried numerous format options and have had no luck.

ive tried to playback these videos using the following:
windows media player
quicktime
winamp
etc.

what editing application should i use?

i am making these videos to be shown in ‘Song Show Plus’ for my church. Although there is 2 possibilities. I either could use the direct file in ‘SSP’ or i could burn the video to a DVD and just play it that way.

When playing these videos back do you have to use the editing application?

am i not exporting it right? because it seems all the other formats are way to pixelated and not very good resolution.

what should i do?

-All i have is After Effects CS3

-SSP is song show plus (you would know this if you read my entire post)

-I do know that my animation is right. i used the ram preview after i was done making this video.

-And don’t say you have no clue. i just told you the way i was exporting it in the render clue in my previous post.

Maybe it’ll work better if i told you exactly what i want to do and you tell me how i show export it instead of asking you if im doing it right.

>I am making a motion graphic movie.
>This will be burned to a DVD.
>I RAM PREVIEW this movie that i made within AE and it looked very good.
>I want this video at a high quality, but still be able to fit on a DVD..~5GB

there that is what i want. maybe you could tell me the right way to export it with the right codecs and such.

I believe you are right about my computer not being able to handle the video within quicktime player or a media player.

If i burn it to a DVD and play the DVD on my computer will it still have the same problem?

Please don’t assume i’m an idiot by saying that i dont know how to burn a DVD.

thanks

wow, this really is not that hard….Hate to see you guys go at it….

first off how long is your animation…..

you Mac or pc…..

if mac then easy….simply render it out in “animation codec..

open your idvd or whatever you use and drop it in there burn the disk and off you go….

If you cannot preview the whole thing in a ram preview and thats really what you want to do choose a “mpeg4” or “video” as your codec render it out to the desktop open it in quicktime player and you will be able to see your animation. then once you know your animation is coo, render the high rezversion and burn it… hope this helps
