This is pixel motion frame blending turned on. The quickest way to get rid of this is in your render output turn Frame Blending Off for all layers. You’re not seeing it in the viewport because my guess is that the Frame Blending button next to your time line isn’t clicked, however, if some of your layers have a solid diagonal line under frame blending then it will render unless you force it “off”.
You can also go though all of your layers and one of them must have a solid diagonal line checked for frame blending. The “tearing” you’re seeing is AE attempting to create an in-between frame based on pixel motion. Pixel motion is wonderful for creating smooth slo-mo, but in a lot of cases if there isn’t enough information for AE to create a smooth frame you’ll wind up with what you’re seeing. Good luck!

Look into echo space from Red Giant if you have a little extra spend. It’s $70 and is absolutely incredible at controlling and organizing large groups of layers very quickly and easily.

Good luck!

Thanks all for your input – excellent information!!

The vid co-pilot tutorial is a good one. But if you just need something really fast here’s the low-fi approach – Download SnapZ ProX (https://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox) and just record google maps doing what you need. Depending on your monitor and video card you should be able to capture at HD res or above.

All worked perfectly Jeremy – thank you!

Thanks Jeremy! Is there anything I should be concerned with the regular drivers versus the NDD? What is actually the reason they offer 2? We are running 10.6.8 on 2 x 2.93 6-Core Intels with 24GB of RAM.

Are you talking about AFTER you burn the DVD and view it on an external monitor through a DVD player? Or are you talking about the way the fields look in your encoded .m2V movie on your computer screen? Fields are not going to look correct on your computer screen – you’ll definitely see the interlacing. Everything might actually be fine. I’d burn a DVD and then check and see how the video looks. Does it playback smooth or is it jumping? Also, to answer your question the way you’d know if the field order was flipped from the other vendor is when you view it on an external monitor, you will easily notice a field mismatch. The playback will be jumpy and stuttery. Again this is something you cannot detect on a computer monitor and you’ll need an external monitor. Good luck!

Yes definitely would need to be on or off for exactly what you’re describing. People typically have template projects built that you wouldn’t want to modify. I almost see it as a separate Import menu option entirely. So you’d have “Import>Linked Project” versus “Import>File” … regardless I think from Dave’s comment this is likely just wishful thinking. Would be curious to hear Todd’s opinion.

Thats my feeling too Dave. I figured it would probably be a massive code re-write for this specific feature. However, even if it wasn’t done in this manner I am hoping they may be able implement better multi-artist scenarios for working on different scene elements. As expectations get bigger and deadlines get shorter its become more and more common for many facilities to work in teams these days and I’d love to see some work flow enhancements from Adobe that cater to this trend. For now, I’ll just keep collecting those files … 🙂

I believe Pro-Res in any flavor is always 10-bit.
