After Effects Rendering Glitches

sam_stickland — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 16:50:00 +0000

Hi,

I keep getting glitches in my After Effects output, always in the top left hand corner. Usually it's a square shaped glitch (like in the attached picture), but not always the same size, and sometimes it's an oblong. Usually it contains some kind of offset video, but on a few rare occasions it's been black.

I've tried with the Lagarith and Canopus lossless codecs, both in MP mode. I've tried playback in WMP, PPro and AE.

I've got other things I'm going to try (other codecs, single-threaded renders, disk write speeds), but since the problem is sporadic it's going to take quite a few tests to nail down.

Has anyone got any suggestion on where I should focus my efforts?

Film movement/panning issue

Hey V/Guys: I'm having some issues when putting together my short clips. I'm not completely sure if its user-error with my pan movements, too high of a bit-rate being rendered for the movie player to handle smoothness becoming jerky, or a combination of both. Its been kind of a hit/miss thing. I've rendered at a lower bitrate to test out of PPro and i'm not sure if that is the prob. Are you experiencing this or does this sound familiar? I've been using Cluster hack with the 95mb/64gb card. The flowmotion hack is more for water and stream movements more then 'pans' movements i assume? Thanks.

Settings for Rendering for Best quality in Adobe Premiere Pro 6.0

In preparation to shoot a few short films and, ultimately, a feature length film (with hopes to send it to festivals and cinemas) I have recently built a very powerful computer (i7-3930K, Sabertooth x79, 32GB RAM, 250GB SSD, MSI GTX480 vcard) with Win 7 and Adobe Creative Suite 6.0, including Premiere Pro. So, the rendering is really fast. For example, the 90 seconds clip that would take me 30min to render on an old laptop now renders in just 2 minutes.

I cannot recall what the rendering settings on my old laptop's PPro CS4 were. So I have to ask the community here: What rendering settings would you recommend for best video output quality? with minimal or no loss of original quality.
* Format:

Preset:
Frame Rate:
Aspect:
TV Standard:
Profile:
Level:
Render at maximum depth: ?
Bitrate encoding:
Target Bitrate
Maximum Bitrate
Key frame distance
etc
etc

Videos will be used for BlueRay disks to be sent to festivals and cinemas, as well as for demonstrations on Vimeo as well as on my own 1920x1200 computer screen.

Many thanks in advance!

PS: I have a GH13 and I live in the UK (so I'm not sure if PAL or NTSC matter when it comes to displaying your work on a cinema screen).
PSS: I'm sorry if this question may seem as coming from a novice. I'm more of a writer/director rather than cinematographer/editor/director, although always learning new things.

Hi all,

Can you tell me your sony vegas rendering settings for vimeo I don't get to get my footage come out nice. It drives me crazy!

This is what I do: sony vegas pro 10 and render as sony AVC picture Video format: AVC profile: high 1920x1080 Entropy coding: CABAC Framerate: 23,976 Field order: None (Progressive) Pixel aspect ratio: 1.000 Bit rate(bsp) 20.000.000

Hope you can help me out!

Bitrate and render times

Just an FYI really - which I guess is perhaps kinda obvious - test your entire work flow when you're trying out different bit rates in the hack! I've previously had no trouble at all with the stock 24Mbps, but I've hit a wall with 88Mbps. It's workable in Premiere Pro, but my After Effects renders become completely disk and memory bound and the rendering times increase dramatically. (Keep in mind that PPro is using a different rendering engine to AE).

Anyway, just something to keep in mind! I'm off to test bitrates and drive configurations to find out what's best suited to my post-production setup.
