Rendering Issues
Hi,
I am new using AE. And I am trying to render my comp. When I try to render using quicktime movie format the movie renders but it is not fluid, it sits in a frame for a second and the it jumps to another one. So I tried to render it using quicktime h264 and it gives me this error.
There is a mismatch between Output Module settings and Transcode Settings. Please verify your settings and try again. Invalid framesize/framerate for this level. Please lower the Frame Dimensions, Frame Rate or increase the Profile and level and try again.
My settings are 854 x 480 frame Rate: 29.97 square pixels
If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it.Thanks,
Susana

i think your initial problem, pausing or stuttering playback, was due to the file (probably lossless animation quicktime) was too high of a data rate for the file to playback smoothly. the file is probably fine, but you’ll need to compress it to a data rate that your drive is capable of playing back.
this is common… usually you’ll render from ae (as lossless animation) then take that to another step in production, often and nle, but maybe dvd authoring software or a compression utility to create a streaming file for the web or something.
at any of those stages, you’ll be converting the lossless animation file to play nice with that stage of production. an nle will usually convert the render to the codec that it is using for the rest of the footage, dvd software will convert it to mpeg-2 a compression utility will convert it to what it is set to convert to (maybe h.264 or flv, etc.).
so as dave asked, what your destination for the render or the next step in production?

I am having very similar issues with the exception of codec and comp size. i am using all 720 X486 presets. All imported footage is 720 qt.mov and has been interpreteded to the D1 preset, yet after a few ram previews of my comp, when I send it to render…it freezes on a frame and then skips to the next clip and freezes as well.
I am running AECS3 on a G4 with a max of 2gig memory, but I am using a very fast raid drive for my media. I’ve been at this for about 12 year and have never run into this problem.
Not too savvy with memory and cache issues, could that be the problem?
I have run a disk check and all my drives read error free.
BTW, when I did reboot and reimport the video clips, did not ram preview and the rending turned out ok!
Nevertheless…I love to ram preview, so is there a fix in the settings or preferences that could alleviate this problem for me?
other than an upgrade. I hope to have a new system within by the next quarter!
