You might get this problem if the two layers are 3D and they share the same Z-position. If so, try moving the background layer back 1 pixel in the Z direction.

Are you viewing the comp window at full res?

Use Quicktime’s Animation or the Meridien codecs, 1:1 or 2:1.
Your alpha channel should be rendered out of AE as straight, not premultiplied, by the way.Let us know …

Open it in QT player, then use ctrl/cmd-J to Get Properties. Look for Video Track and Format.

Move it up 1 pixel or down 1 pixel. Doesn’t matter which.
I don’t know about the shortcut you mentioned, but to move it up or down 1 pixel, use the up or down arrow key.

The camera’s auto-orient should be off.
Other than that … I’ve just set up one 3d solid with RW applied, and one camera with AO turned off. No problems.
Hope that helps,

The render queue is great. You can:
– render a movie to different formats by using composition>add output module. This will not add any noticeable time to your render.
– watch the render details to determine where your render is slowing down. For example, if it is slow when “retrieving frame”, you might need to defrag or move your files to a faster disk. Or shrink down big source images if possible.
– create and save preset templates for your render settings and output modules and set one of each as your default render setup. This can save a lot of time. Create a template for Avid delivery, web, uncompressed …
– duplicate a previously rendered item in the queue to render it exactly the same way.
– choose to render the work area or any other time span.
– set AE to automatically import a rendered item and replace the currently used item.I’ve only ever used File>export for SWFs. For everything else, I use the queue.

Check the help under “rendering a movie>changing output module settings”.
You want to render to Quicktime Movie, then choose Sorenson 3 with the “Options” button.
