The footage viewer plays smoothly. RAM preview and Spacebar do not play smoothly. Even going through frame by frame on the comp timeline clearly shows that frames are being doubled for some reason.

Well, we have shot on DV 24p advanced Standard definition and removed the frames so we are editing on a 24p timeline in FCP.
But this shouldn’t matter because we are not having trouble with that footage, the problem is a rendered 24 comp from after effects that is a movement over a photograph. It has nothing to do with any footage that is being brought in, only a mov file that was originally created in AE and brought back in.

the funny thing is, when the footage is played back in quicktime, it plays perfectly smooth in 24. In the movie inspector, it says the rate is 23.98, playing at 24. And I have tried every combination in AE of frame rates.
There is no footage in the rendered comp. It is basically movement of a photograph using motion and scale keyframes, with some blur and liquify effects. That’s it. But again, it plays fine in quicktime, just not when it is imported back into AE. Even when I double click on it from within the project window in AE, it plays smooth on its own, just not when it is in the composition window.

Well, dragging the footage directly onto the make comp icon still produces the same result, and trying to match the frame rates manually produces nothing different.
I have been working for with After Effects for a while and know the program pretty well, this is the only problem we have had so far that we haven’t been able to figure out.
Unfortunately, our entire film is in 24 so we can’t work in another format. I’m not sure what else to try, but it does seem a little buggy to me.

Interesting, I tried the workaround, and that doesn’t seem to be doing the trick. The funny thing is, I’m not importing from another program, I am bringing a file in that I rendered from After Effects 2 seconds earlier back into after effects! Hmmm, odd, not sure what to think of this.
