It def seems to be Lion that is messing up some of my programs. I’m considering going back to Snow L. Thanks for your help!

Thanks! I wasn’t clear on whether that’s something I could/should do.

Thanks for explaining this! I’ll give it a shot.

I did read that the “animation” codec uses the least amount of compression, but figured it was only for actual animation. When you say “Compressor doing the same”, do you mean the actual program called Compressor?

I’ll give the “animation” setting a shot.

I guess I’m a little confused because I was so used to just exporting h264 or Prores422 from Final Cut and having it look good with no additional work.

Are there certain codec settings you use in Media Encoder? What is a “2 pass VBR”?
I’ve never used this Adobe program, but i’ll look into it.
Thanks.

I wasn’t planning on returning to Final Cut after the AE export. I just exported the 2 minute video from AE using h264 and was hoping it would look as good as it did in the composition. But when I watch the video in Quicktime after export it looks very pixelated.

Should I considered going back to FC and doing the final export from there? Is that overkill?

thanks

I really want to learn the program, so I’ll go ahead and follow the links for a better understanding. Thanks!
