  • trouble exporting

    Posted by Melissa Bruno on April 15, 2009 at 4:57 am

    I am working on a project that is a video (size 800 x 600) inter cut with animations I created in After Effects (they were imported as quicktimes).

    The problem is when I export: either the animations appear interlaced or the video footage ends up not a sharp and the animations play choppy (not smooth).

    I’ve tried a number of options in FCP but nothing seems to work right. Also, when I exported the timeline uncompressed, the video ends up crashing in the Quicktime player.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated- thanks.

    You might try setting a custom setting in compressor (with your custom frame size, progressive fields, output format, etc.) and then export from FCP using that feature.

    Is the sequence interlaced? Is the media interlaced? Maybe your computer or your drives aren’t fast enough.

    All the best,

    Hey

    I think I may know your issue, although be it late, i had the same issue tried everything, it may be a final cut bug, take your sequence, next it into another sequence then export,
    I recently had an issue where everything previewd fine in final cut and external monitor, when i exported to quicktime? the while thing looked crap.
