Hi there,

I just read this post, since I’m experiencing exactly the same problem. Working with some Animations rendered by AE (Animation Codec) and imported the footage into my FC project (DV PAL). I’ve plugged on two reference monitors, one LCD, one TRC. It all looks really crappy on every screen. Thin Lines are not shown smoothly – they are full of “stairs”.

My question now is, may this have something to do with interlacing. I’ve tested various settings, such as lower first, upper first and none in the rendersettings of AE, but none of the clips turned out to be shown smoothly on my monitors (in FC). The strange thing about it, when i check the preferences on each clip in FC, it shows for all clips the same interlacing: lower first. After putting the clips on the timeline, the clip rendered with option “lower first” in AE, automatically adds a “move fields”-filter to it. This one also looks the nicest on my monitors, but i’m seriously confused with this issue now.

Also when I render the clips from AE into DV PAL, it looks crappy. I really don’t know what to do now, please help! I just need to know what rendersettings I need in AE for best quality import to FC DV PAL Project.

Thanks in advance
