— did you set it to upper field first ? —–chris—

… and if so and its not right make sure the imported footage and comp settings are correct — if any of these are wrong you get a dicky result —

— also some formats are lower field first so if you are using one of these dont forget to import it correctly …

………………. all the best —-chris —

All the graphics are made within After Effects, what would be the ideal comp settings? (fram-rate etc)

Thank you.

Hi John – apologies for delay – been busy ….

RE checking field order – its in 2 area….

1 ) WHEN YOU RENDER

Under render settings / best settings / field render / upper field first

2 ) WHEN IMPORTING FOOTAGE INTO AE

Make sure the import settings match the footage ie if the source material is ‘UPPER’ make sure the import setting is on ‘UPPER’ —– ( same with other import settings )— best watch this one as some HD Cams ( I think ) have lower field first…. if not sure suggest you talk to cameraman…..

IMPORT SETTINGS — these can be accessed by ‘right clicking’ footage ( as listed in panel at top left of AE layout ) and selecting correct option boxes.

If the source material is smooth in the first place and no effect ( or whatever ) is applied that might cause the jittering then this will probably sort it for you…..

All the best

Chris
