Thanks Aanarav.

NOTE: I’ve even tried taking out all but one layer, and exporting just the one item (just text, or just the logo) and it still does the same thing.

I thought it might have something to do with the PSD files, but I took them out and exported just the text fading on and it still does the same thing???

Next, I tried using different programs I found online to convert the AVI to DVAVI – doesn’t seem to help…

These are all pretty much default I believe…

Composition Settings:

Basic
Preset: NTSC DV, 720 x 480
Width 720
Height 480
Lock Aspect Ratio to 3:2 (checked)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1/DV NTSC (0.9)
Frame Rate: 29.97fps
Resolution: Full (720 x 480, 1.3M per 8pbc frame)
Start Timecode: 0;00;00;00 Base 30drop
Duration: 0;00;08;00 is 0;00;08;00 Base 30drop

Advanced
Shutter Angle: 360
Shutter Phase: 0
Rendering Plug-in: Advanced 3D
Preserve frame rate when nested or in render queue – Unchecked
Preserve resolution when nested – Unchecked

Project Settings
Timecode base: 30fps
NTSC Drop Frame
Color Depth: 8bits per channel

Exporting different ways:

File > Export > AVI…

AND

Composition > Make Movie… > Render Queue (using the Microsoft DV NTSC 32kHz & 48kHz formats)

I’ve even done AVI with no compression. All to no avail, still have the same issue.

The Composition is made up (from the bottom up) of one PSD file of a star field duplicated 3 times all of them slowly moving scale, position and rotation, to create a star field background. Then two PSD files of a logo that slow move and appear on screen. And finally, a text layer (created in AE) duplicated three time to allow the text scroll on the screen with different effects for a nice fade in.

These are all rather basic ideas, all using a Creative Cow tutorials as a basis.

When exported (either AVI, MOV, using DV/DVCPRO – NTSC or BMP or No compression at their highest settings) the files look perfect when playing it through WMP or QT. It even looks perfect when I place it on the timeline in APP, it’s just after a render in APP that it looks all pixilated.

Thanks again for all your help.

I’ve done it via:

But I don’t have the option to export in DV AVI in AE6.0???
