Todd,
Ah! That makes more sense. I hadn’t considered that. However, so far I have not experienced any issues when I have been keying. I will try keying with a lossless QT and an FLV and see how they differ.
The whole reason for this post was the fact that after effects seems to hate the m2ts files from my Sony Camera. I am guessing they are intralaced and that just makes the final render have skips and missing frames in it.
Do you know of a way to “fix” this? If so, I can call Adobe if that is what it takes. I just loose the robust clarity when I convert to a lossless. It is subtle, but I notice it.
Do you have any advice for me please?

Yes. Thanks. That makes a lot of sense. I am not technically trying to save space per se. I am just at a loss as to why working with FLV files is inferior to working with other video files. I do not see a differences in my results as of yet so the reason I posted was to find out if there was something I did not know.

Yes, but I tried that and I didn’t see a difference. I need to compress the original file so AE can use it. I can export to a “lossless” variety – either QT or an FLV and then I can import that into editing. Side by side once I render the video in my editing program. There is little difference between the original video and the one I rendered, imported into after effects to add effects and then rendered again.
I hope that makes sense.
I guess what I am saying is that when I import the file as FLV or QT into AE and then render out in lossless I cannot tell the difference between the two visually, but I know the FLV is significantly smaller.

Dave, I think I just fell in love with you sir. I have been racking my brains trying to figure out why this was happening to my files in after effects. I have a Sony HDR SR11 and the m2ts (You only wrote m2t but I assume you meant m2ts)codecs import fine, but when I render out I get the tell tale skips.
And even if AE does support AVCHD, the m2ts files from my camera are doing exactly what you say they are.
This also happens when I use dynamic link and render out using adobe media encoder via Premiere Pro BUT it does not happen if I use dynamic link and I render that file out of After Effects – at least is has not happened yet.
So, if I have the raw m2ts files from my camera’s HDD you are saying I will need to convert them to keep AE from freaking out and making those annoying skips.
Do you have any suggestions as to how I would convert them? By that I mean a way that wouldn’t cause me to loose quality.
This seems like a terrible step to have to go through though to use my camera’s files in AE
It seems this is with a lot of HD footage if this happens to h.264 and m2ts etc
Would it be better to cut and render from another program or would it be better to purchase an AVCHD conversion program?

David,
I can go over things with you. Oddly enough, I called Cannon about their M2ts codecs to see if they could tell me what editing programs support them and the sales rep didn’t have an answer so I went with Sony.
I dont have a profile I can click on to email you or message you, but I’d love to go back and forth with you to see if we can work this out unless someone here. I looked at your issue and it seems different than mine, though they could have similar root causes. I am not getting choppiness at all in the time line, just digital noise and the damn file won’t render out correctly; however, as I noted Sony Vegas does render them out and use the files just fine. So, the issue is somewhere in between for me. If you have access to another editing program you should try uploading the files into that to see what happens.
I also notice that no one responded to you here as well. I didn’t see your thread. You might want to try posting in the Adobe community forums to see what those experts have to say too.

Correct. I do not want the bubble distortion at all. I adjusted wobble and the other bubble properties and they still are round.
