video quality
Hi!
When working in AE, the video on the screen looks fairly choppy… kind of like its being broken up in vertical lines on the edges of my characters. It reminds me of de-interlaced footage, except for vertical lines instead of horizontal. The quality and resolution of the video still looks pretty good, but the edges of my subjects and other objects (such as text) have this look to it that isn’t very clean. Can you help me?

Are you using a non-square pixel ratio comp with PAR correction on? On the bottom of the Comp window is a little rectangle button with a double ended arrow over it, if it’s checked on that could be your problem. When you have it checked the video will appear in normal aspect, but it will have little jaggies. If that doesn’t help try posting a screenshot.

That did it! Thanks! I was just confused, because my footage is in 16:9 and I guess I thought I should expand it out to view the true aspect ratio… but I guess I had it backwards. =(

Glad that helped, I should have mentioned, when you click that tab you’re only correcting for preview purposes (hence the jaggies) With NTSC Widescreen your pixels are have a 1.2-to-1 ratio, but your computer has 1 to 1. The PAR Correction just allows you to preview what it will look like when properly displayed (on a monitor or TV) It doesn’t effect your output at all, it just shows roughly what your output looks like.
