Why are my fades jittery?
I’m working on my first HD project, 1440 x 1080 @ 29.97 fps, full resolution. All of my fades are jittery, as if they were rendered at a lower framerate. I’m just fading opacity from 0% – 100%, or the other direction.
I’m using AE CS5 on Win7 x64 with 12 GB of RAM and a dual core Xeon CPU running at 2.3 GHz.
Thanks.

During playback of the rendered clip. It’s actually fine during RAM preview. And I should say that pans and zooms display the same jitterines, again during rendered playback only.

Thanks for the explanation, but I’m already rendering to h.264 within After Effects. If I resize during the render to 960 x 720, the fades, pans, and zooms appear as they should during playback.

Thanks loads for that rendering tip, Dave. It never would have occurred to me. Can’t wait to try, but what output format do you recommend rendering to from AE if I want to do my final encoding in Adobe Media Encoder (which I have, unlike Sorenson or Apple’s Compressor)?
Regarding “resize during render,” if I add my comp to the render queue and select “Custom” for the output module, there’s a Resize option on the Main Options tab in the resulting dialog. There it lets you resize height and width to anything you want, as well as standard resolutions and aspect ratios.
