This happens to me often as well. I think this is just a stupid application bug that Adobe has yet to fully fix in any of it’s previous or current versions. The only work around I have found is to either restart the application. Or if you don’t want to bother with that right away open a new or existing sequence and drag your footage there, then cut/copy the clip into the sequence you want to use it in. Annoying and stupid, but that’s Adobe sometimes.
Maybe one day Adobe will release a piece of software that fixes previous bugs before introducing new ones.

Hi. yes I know the company name is misspelled. It’s been updated since.
When I took the screen shots I don’t think they were scaled up. The player windows were all set to actual size except for the last one which I had scaled down. This forum seems to have scaled them all up however so that might be what you are seeing.

No. I’m not making GIF’s. These are for social media and the delivery spec was for MP4 or MOV under 10MB. I could try reducing the frame rate but that won’t solve the resolution problem. Bit rate was maxed. Quality setting at 100%.

I have used Media Encoder to do the export and still have the same issue. Here are screen shots of the 4 different output versions.
This one was exported using media encoder from After Effects. H.264 codec used. You can see that the quality is not bad, but not great either. File size 4.6MB and that was at max output settings.
This one was created using a Quicktime export from the 600×500 ProRes MOV I made through the AE render queue. It’s better but is 18.4 MB.
This one is a ProResHQ output from the AE render queue. It’s not bad either but still not as sharp as it should be. Again max settings and the file size is 19.2MB.
Last, is a screen shot of the 600×500 proresHQ scaled down to 50% size but not exported. Just to show you that is it sharper compared to the rest, if slightly.

By the way. Is there a reason that I should use PNG over JPEG? And any thoughts on what compressor I should set it to? I am seeing that H.264 seems to give me the clearest results.

Thanks Steve. I will try that out. I know 800×600 isn’t a standard video format but that I what the client wants to display the video at. We are having to convert the final MOV file to FLV for their website.

Sure, they are as follows.
The sequence setting are Photo-jpeg 640*480 square pixel, 29.97
The footage files are also Photo-jpeg 640*480 square pixel, 29.97
