use file->project settings -color depth 32 bits/channel, working space, one of the RGB’s, adobe or apple, then use a YUV codec that doesn’t change color space from 4:2:2 to anything else. Some YUV’s go yuv12 yuvu, etc and bits get flipped around and color lost from RGB to YUV and back again.

—10-Bit 4:2:2 codec that we use in Final Cut but it is not listed in AE?
Oh yea? go video for windows-10 bit, YUV 4:2:2 YUV

unless your strapped for size, RGB uncompressed output 4:4:4 will guarantee no generation loss.

tinderbox can do flags

possible your render settings are wrong. some codecs don’t support widescreen.

[Chris Wright]

wild guess but maybe try easy ease keyframes to makes less jumpy keyframes. it helps alot with animation rotation too.

oops, just do this, ignore last thread. This will get you a Blue Ray encode out of encore.

In Adobe Premiere Pro or Encore, choose File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Import After Effects Composition. Choose an After Effects project file (.aep), and then choose one or more compositions.

oh i c.
then its very simple if you have adobe premium.

in ppro cs3
file->import ae comp and then Dynamic Link out to Encore DVD from pp ro.

imagineer monet could planar motion track, create cushion pins and raw data and insert pictures seemlessly into footage. Without it, you’re stuck to AE’s motion tracking. If you are trying to match head movement and their head turns, you have to go frame by frame and change 2-d perspective of images. Extract key white and attach tracker data to a null object that you can set as parent to layer image of people. colormatch heads and mmmm, yummy.

Virtualdub has frameserving that works in vegas, premiere, ae, and other nle’s. It’s free and needs no intermediate codecs. It makes a small ref file 200k and frameserves out nicely. If virtualdub fails, try lagarith or huffyuv lossless codecs uncompressed that store lossless mathematically compressed.

H.264 compressed might not be good enough for your master transfer. ps3 can play blue ray, just encode to those specs and the 1.5x player @ 56mpbs/sec transfer disk should play fine. avc is h.264 in a wrapper.

[Chris Wright]

there’s a checkmark in comp settings that auto locks footage. Uncheck it.

[Chris Wright]

best advice i can give you is remove hard edges and artifacts, make footage larger and look more artistic. You could mess around with antialiasing with instant hd from red giant.
