Hi everyone. I'm looking for help on exporting clips from After Effects 7 Pro to Avid. I'm exporting raw footage with the animation codec out of Avid Symphony to bring into After Effects to do the keying.
However, when I bring them into AE, they look like crap. Here is a clip from After Effects with field separation turned OFF:
And here is the same frame with lower fields first interpretation:
Obviously neither of those look very good coming out of AE, and when I bring them into Avid, they look just as bad. I posed this same question in the AE forum, but is there something I can do when exporting out of Avid to make the clips look better?
When I import the finished clip with effects, I use the maintain, square pixel setting because we're working with 720x540 footage. Is this right? Should I start using the "no compression" setting when exporting out of Avid, instead of the animation codec?
Any help is greatly appreciated. I've been away from Avid for about 3 years, so this is really frustrating.
