hmmm…i checked it and it is in RGB mode.

when I pu the image in Vegas as a png it adds the black BG, if i save it as jpg, it adds the white BG.

I’m putting the image on its own layer in Vegas.

I don’t think I applied it using squeeze 5. I can redo the original deinterlaced.

I’ll stick with your advice for flash, can I ask why? Is it a more broadly used format or easier for me being the newb that I am?

I just rendered an h264/AAC which is the best so far, and only 23.69mb

data rate 792 kbps
fps 14.98
848×480 pixel

I’ll try what you mentioned with the deinterlace

[Jason Barczewski]

yeah the talent is shot in widescreen 16:9 I’m trying to correct that now

I rendered it again using mpeg4 and ACC for audio and the 4 min video was 147 mb which is a bit big as this will be used on a blog and then mass distibuted to video/youtube sharing sites.

here is the info you asked for in the attachments.

10 second intro and 10 second exit have graphics (shown in pic) graphics then it’s basically an interview with on screen talent

thanks

[Jason Barczewski]

source format is quicktime movie format .mov

not sure what souce content means, but the video is made for instructional purposes with intro and exit graphics with audio

video is being used to teach content in a person to person style (interview) indoors

f8 1mb is a sorenson squeeze 5 preset but that video is still pixelated.

I’m pretty sure that is the way it was set up when I first asked this question. I had since changed it to use multi processing (render multiple frames simultaneously with min. allocation per cpu 1.4 gb)

If I uncheck multiprocessing, the only thing that would be different from when the problem was first noticed would be that I changed the folder that the disk cache takes place in which is now an empty drive.

after effects memory usage is set back to 1.2 gb and ram for other apps is .25 gb

I have also checked prevent DLL address space fragmentation

Hope this works, thanks for your help

[Jason Barczewski]

i think the ram is the problem, what’s an optimal setting for the ram?
here is what it’s set at

2 cpu’s
installed ram 2 gb
total AE memory usage .8 gb
ram to leave for another application: .25 gb

[Jason Barczewski]

running cs4. half res helps a little bit but it still uses too much memory.

Have not messed with the Ram for AE to access, i’ll try that as well

pc, vista 32
