    hello
    I have some problems with cinema 4d. when i render animation at 30 fps, saved to image sequence when the animation plays it’s playing choppy edges apear jerky not smoother no matter which codec i use but if i raise the frame rate to 60 it plays smooth but the animation appears playing too quick what should i do to make it appear smooth.here are samples first one 30 FPS https://www.downloadtaxi.com/d/1258827757
    second one 60 FPS
    https://www.downloadtaxi.com/d/1258828250
    that’s my problem please some one help me come around this problem it’s really time consuming to render at 60 fps or should i stick to render at 60 fps. at what frame rate professional animations are rendered at can any one guide me?

    Hey Jasic,

    well to me both videos seem to be identically, with no chopping edges. I had a similar problem once, but it had nothing to do with frame-rates (25fps is standard for PAL, 30fps for NTSC systems, if you don’t want to add slow-motion effects afterwards. then you should perhaps use a multiple framerate of your standard).
    Well, back to the choppy edges problem: The Quicktime player sometimes changes the representation of the movie to low quality. But only you will see it and on other Computers it looks perfectly nice, or the other way around…
    In Quicktime Player, choose “Window” and “Show Movie Properties” (Ctrl-J). In the opening window, select the Video Track, and under “Visual Settings”, “High Quality” should be checked.
    Sometimes this is the only “problem” (the quality of visualisation).
    Try. Hope it helps!
    Kind regards, Dominik.

    What are your Antialiasing settings set at?

    The edges look perfectly smooth here. As Dominick said, it’s probably an issue with your hardware/software rather than the video file.
