thanks, that is very helpful. Sorry if this is a silly question, but what is Flash Media encoder? Since I live in South Africa, $150 is quite steep – it works out to about seven times that for us in Rands.

OK – I figured it out myself. I had set the “quality” setting to “draft” and in the “current settings” dialogue box, “quality” was set to “current settings.” Changing these settings to “best” solved my problem.

Hi
This is probably part of the same mistake I am making.
I am working on a composition that is a layered Photoshop file that I have imported into AE as a composition.

When I move a section of it – say rotate an arm – it distorts quite badly, it has a sort of “ripple” effect over it. This happens if I RAM preview it and also in the rendered version.

Thanks

Hi
I dont have editing software – but I’ve just tried importing a clip into After Effects again. A clip that looks bleached out with no black at all in Quicktime? It looks fine in After Effects.

I still want to try playing it in Quicktime on my work computer ( a Mac) I dont know if I mentioned that i am working on a PC? Windows XP

OK

OK
What do you know.
I’ve just tried testing in other players, and the problem does not occur in Realplayer 10.5 or Windows Media Player.

What could be wrong with my version of Quicktime? I just downloaded it.

Thanks

Hi
To be more specific about what happens when I render to Mpeg4 Video: All black disappears in the rendered version.

I am rendering from After Effects 6.0

The ultimate use for my completed AE work is nothing: I am trying to teach myself about rendering using various test clips, rendering them at different settings and comparing the results.

I dont know what the codec of the captured video is but I doubt that this is pertinent as my problem also occurs with all the video clips I have, and also if I have imported Photoshop files, or if I create artwork directly in AE with the paintbrush. I have also tested at different screen resolutions.

I have been viewing this in Quicktime 7.

I have not tested to see whether this problem occurs if I view in other players – will do that now.

Thanks.
