  • Rendering a clip in Lossless Format

    Hi guys, isn’t the Quicktime > Animation loseless? Because I’m trying to render a portion of a clip to import into AE to fast-forward it (I want to keyframe so the speeding up and slowing down is smooth) and I rendered it in Animation preset and when it came out there is slight color loss.

    I opened the rendered one in Quicktime player, the original one in KMPlayer, fyi.

    Quality’s set to 100, though.

    Oh and another thing (don’t know if it’s related) When I opened the rendered one in both Quicktime and KMPlayer, I discovered that the colors are all weird and wrong. It’s like negative. The skin tones are bluish and it’s all the wrong colors. But black remains black, so it’s not totally negative.

    So any idea on rendering in 100% lossless and fixing the color problem?

    This is what I mean. The one on the right is the Quicktime>Animation with quality set to 100. The one on the left is the original one.

    Yes Quicktime animation is lossless, but that’s not your problem here.

    First, it looks like you have an aspect ratio issue since the frames don’t match.

    You are also getting some type of pixel doubling, which I guess may be due to an issue with the original file.

    Can you list all your project and export settings?

    Where the original file came from, how it was exported and whether it was interlaced or progressive.

    Oh don’t worry about it I’ve got it uh, “fixed”. Instead of rendering I merely created a new sequence, worked on the clip and copy and paste it from the timeline.

    And just for information, this was downloaded from keepvid.com from Youtube. I needed to integrate a clip into my movie.

    Cheers
    Thanks!
