I’m afraid it doesn’t seem to be a preview issue, because it also outputs to my camera with the same issues. I do have it set to highest resolution and optimize stills is on.

Looks like it might be a MS DV issue I’m afraid. Based on the first post by Steven, I rendered from AE using MS DV compression and it looked just about the same as from Premier.

What I have is a small screenshot that is rotated about 20 percent. In AE it’s crisp, but if I use the DV compression it get’s jagged and a bit blurred. Anyway to get it to my DV camera without using the Premier compression?

Thanks a bunch. I show the product tomorrow… ;0

Thanks for the quick reply…

Wow – I had no idea that Premier was compressing and loosing quality. Is there now way to get around this? Maybe this is the reason the Avid people tell me it’s not REAL editing (and if it looses quality maybe it’s not).

So if there is no way around this, the next question is how can I get a file I rendered to AE recoreded onto my vx2000 without going through Premier and loosing quality.

Thanks for the help

Sure – let me create one…

Looking at the project in Premier, it looks like I see the same lines (although not as noticable I think because of now effects). Premier is where my AE footage is coming from. Is there a similiar setting in Premier?

Thanks again,

It didn’t seem to help I’m afraid – but I noticed the the comp setting was set at 29.97fps, and when I changed it to 30fps it improved the lines in SOME of the footage. Any idea what could be going on? I’m spinning…

Thanks John – I’ll test it out and let you know.

Great! I was afraid I wouldn’t get a response.

But I’ve never had to change the color space setting, or know much about it. Can you point me to another way to change it because I don’t see that button?

BTW – would I see banding in the preview window before the render? (because I do)

Thanks thanks thanks

It’s the hardest thing to do. I’m in the middle of a big project where I started with too much of these very cool effects I shot and edited, but I just loved them so much. I now have cut about 20 seconds from it and it plays so much better (but it was hard to get me to go there).

Good luck – and good work.

Christian: Just a quick note I’d throw your way. Your reel is nice, but it would be better if you cut about 30 seconds from it. We all tend to want to show as much of our work as possible, but you’re letting each spot play too long. Cut it down a bit which will pick up the pace, add some mystery, and improve it.

Hope you don’t mind the advice. You were nice enough to help with the post, so I thought I’d try and help too.

Take care
