Rendering in After Effects – staggering issues
I don’t know if anyone has ever encountered this while rendering out a file to After Effects, but I’m getting a slightly staggered effect in the motion in my final output. The file size is huge (about 8-9GB in lossless setting)
Using GeForce 8600GT, brand new out of the box, have not tampered with the settings, except to put the setting on the Nvidia driver to highest performance 32 bit. OS is windows XP 32 professional
Is there something I need to change in my driver control panel or setting?

Are you just playing back 9GB files on your PC, or are you seeing them stuttered after going to tape? Uncompressed video will rarely play well on a PC – you will almost always get staggered (or stuttered) playback. There is too much data hitting your processor at once – which makes it choke.
If you are making videos for the purpose of watching them on a computer, then you need to convert them to a compressed format.
Uncompressed (lossless) video is meant for the purpose of laying off to tape, or as a source for the a compressed final version.

Thanks very much for the tip, I think the lossless setting might be doing it. A couple follow up questions: What encoding do you normally use? I try to scale down compression on the “video to pc” rendering but it doesn’t seem to scale down from 100%. I tried some other encoding features and I’m getting a lot of pixelation starting at 85% on the DV 720×480 composition.
Do you have an ideal rendering output setting?
