What kind of visual content is it? (Talking heads, music video, CGI?)
What frame size are you aiming for?
How long is it?
Where will most of your audience be viewing? Office, home, big city, remote clifftop?

I’d suggest using Quicktime to produce a .mov using the the PhotoJPEG codec set to between 80-100% quality.

For PC I’d be looking to evaluate Rhozet Carbon Coder, for Mac it would be Telestream’s Episode
For high volume work add Carbon Server or Episode Engine.
Both solutions are capable of splitting work across multiple servers AND cores.
Both are capable of high quality output, however Episode has the edge when it comes to preprocessing features like advanced deinterlacing options.

Wow, I don’t know where Ben gets the time, what with a full time job, a family and the amount he contributes to the various forums around the net. Mind you, if he writes as fast as he talks….! 😉

I still find Ben Waggoner’s book a great reference.

I can’t figure it out. I’m getting the same problems as you. As it’s building the RAM preview all looks fine, all frames are displayed, but on playback I get the dropped frame effect.
Just for fun I transcoded the clip in Episode and converted the frame rate to 29.97 and took that back into AE within an NTSC comp. It’s not perfect but it looks much better than before.
I’m stumped.

Yes I did.
Are you working in PAL or NTSC land?

Nothing wrong with that clip.
It can only be something going wrong in AE.
You’ve obviously treble checked that the RAM preview is not set to preview every other frame, and I’d assume your machine it well up to the task in hand…
Have you tried taking the clip into a brand new comp?
If all the above is checked out ok, I’d suggest a call/email to Adobe support!
Bizarre…

Baffling indeed. Can you post a sample of the problem clip to yousendit or another similar site?
Without inspecting the clip there’s no way to determine what’s going on.

Without letting us know what setting you’ve used to render out to H.264 it’s difficult to help you further. I’ve been compressing video for 20 years but I still miss the odd thing now and again.
