Render queue vs QT export – weird blurring…
Hi everyone,
My first post here, and I’m afraid its a question, not a suggestion!
I’m rendering the end credits to a film. The credits are setup as a text layer and the text layer is on one very tall composition (512 x 27000) which is nested into a 512 x 576 comp, masked slightly, feathered and position animated to scroll.
Having setup a render setting and output module to correspond with all the other AE elements I worked on without issue, (uncompressed 10bit 1024×576) the credits were set off to render. A bit of motion blur was incorporated to smooth out the motion.
After 6 hours (!) the result was one big blur. It’s not the motion blur effect.
Turned off all motion blur (on the layer and the comp, and in the layer and comp of the nested comp), restarted etc, still the same.
tried on another machine (don’t know why) and same issue.
Exported through file>export chose animation, and it came out fine.
Exported through render queue on exactly the same settings (animation again) and the blur issue is back. two screen grabs attached. I’m very confused!
If anyone can shed light on this I;d be grateful – maybe I’m over looking something simple, maybe it’s font licensing thing?! I’m quite new to AE so please enlighten me…
Many thanks, and I look forward to reading through the forum and helping out on other threads in the future.

As a test, you might try reducing the length of the scrolling title comp to something like 3000px and see if that fixes the problem.
The ONLY thing I can think of is that the extreme size of the comp is throwing off the motion blur. AE has been known to occasionally exhibit odd behavior with comps above a certain physical size. I try not to go above 6000px in X or Y.
If this is the case, you may need to break your title scroll comp into multiple, shorter parented comps.

in addition to breaking the comp up, you might try making the text a photoshop layer and importing that as footage (vs comp)… i’ve found that ae doesn’t work well with lots of text, and that may account for the 6 hour render.

Apologies for the late repsonse here, I’ve been away.
All sorted now, it ended up going into boris in FCP, out of my hands! I’d tried photoshop but the font dropped out along woth all leading / tracking, so to do it that way was looking like a real headache, alhtough another time it would make sense.
Thanks.
