Rendering Nightmare

… because the FRAPS codec isn’t a Quicktime codec.

SOLUTION!

I believe I found a solution. Earlier today, I found that I could import the footage into AE and as long as it was untouched, it would render perfectly.

So, I imported each segment and immediately did a render (giving me 7 new files). Importing these new renders into my composition and using them like footage files allowed me to edit them without the frame choppiness. It seemed like it was a combination of the media used and AE’s editing that gave me that undesired result.

I *think* this is the end of line for this problem. I can’t guarantee it, but I’m pretty sure the problem has been solved. Just to be sure, I’ll finish the composition and report back when it’s complete.

Again, thank you all for your great assistance. I wouldn’t have been able to solve this silly issue without you.

That was gonna be my next suggestion.
This seems to be the best workflow I’ve found for mpeg files.
