AE CS6 having problems with jagged edges in my render

I used to compose videos together using After Effects CS4 and the default settings for rendering produced good renders, but after I've upgraded to the CS6 version I notice jagged edges problem in my renders that I didn't have in CS4, and i'm using the default settings in CS6.
This is a screenshot of a video rendered using CS4 (default render settings):
This next one is rendered using AE CS6 (default render settings):
I have looked into the formats that both versions render at and tried to figure out what the difference is. To start off, the available formats given in CS4 seems a lot more different than those in CS6.
-CS4 rendered in a "Video for Windows" format by default and in Format Options it is Uncompressed, while CS6 doesn't have the "Video for Windows" option at all (and I can't find AVI format for CS4).
-In CS6 the default format is "AVI", and the Video Codec inside Format Option is "None" by default.
I'm not sure if this is why CS6 produces jagged edges in its videos. Does anyone know what I can do to render sharper videos in CS6 so i can stop using the CS4 version?
For example should I maybe change the format from AVI to something else? Change the Video Codec from None to something else?

Well, straight up: Have you ever bothered to read the AE help? No offense, but this really sounds like "I use the default settings, but otherwise I don't know quite what I'm doing." AVI is cunningly called Video for Windows proper. the rest makes no sense. You are not telling us anything meaningful like comp settings and so on or how you verify your output. The second image simply looks like the hardware scaling in the comp viewer at odd zoom rates and resolutions. Anything beyond that will require a lot more info.

  • Indesign CS6 on MACs with OS 10.8 are having problems with links

    Hi
    Indesign CS6 on MACs with 10.8 are having problems with links. All links to other files have to be updated when opening a file although definitely nothing has changed to the linked files.
    We can rule out our company's networking and the system hosting the files (HELIOS software on RedHat Linux VM). This happens with newly created Indesign files and with old ones. E.g. we create a file on Tuesday, save it and open it again on the exact same MAC on Wednesday and all links to other fiels (.indd, .png, .bmp, etc. nothing uncommon) have to be updated as they all show the yellow triangle + black exclamation mark symbol next to them. Has anybody else experienced this, What can we do? We have tried absolutley everything and updated all software from MAC OS to CS6 itself but nothing seems to help on the long run.
    Any further information required?
    M. Miller

    Thanks for your quick reply.
    We actually noticed that there also seems to be something wrong with the timestamps:
    If we open the infos via the MAC finder to a file (.psd e.g.) which is linked in one of our indesign files, it states a certain date of creation.
    If we then switch to the Indesign file we just opened in which we had to update all links and open the infos to exactly the same file we looked at in the finder, a different date of creation is stated. So there also seems to be a mistake here (hope it's clear what I mean).
    We are ruling out our network as the error cannot be "re-enacted". We have created numerous test files in Indesign (simple white page containing one link to a .psd file which is also used in one of the supposedly defective files) and have opened them on various MACs with various OS versions over the past days/weeks but unfortunately the files open without any notifications or errors.
    Just as a background: a few months ago, the problem seemed to occur between MACs with differing OS, 10.6 - 10.8 at first. A file which was created on a 10.6 MAC could not be opened without updating all links on a 10.8 MAC. That is why we updated everything to 10.8. The error did not occur for about 2-3 weeks but then reoccured again.?
    Have you heard anything similar?

  • New GPU Quadro k5200 installed and having problem with my AE, PPro CS6  not using the GPUs cuda.

    Hi guys, I recently bought a workstation from BOXX tech with a new GPU Quadro k5200 installed in it.
    I am having problem with my AE, PPro CS6 using the GPUs cuda.
    I went to Nvidia Settings and use the specific App to select it to use GPU n- Quadro k5200. But still not working.
    Please help

    If you edited the Cudatextfile in the Adobe Premiere CS6 directory correctly then the acceleration should be enabled. The only way it it's not is if you have the wrong driver for that version of Adobe or did not edit the text file with the exact name of the card. You can use the GPUsniffer in that same Premiere directoy with the command prompt to see the name the GPU should be listed as. The Ray Tracer file in AE has to be edited with the same listing.

  • My iPod Touch 3rd Gen is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

    My iPod Touch (3rd Gen) is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. It varies between not responding when I tap the screen and acting as if I double-tap or tap and hold when I tap. Every so often it freezes for a minute or so and then comes back. The scren is constantly changing sizes too such that I often can't see most of the top status bar or other edges. This makes typing almost impossible, ruins most games and generally makes everything difficult, but otherwise the iPod is working correctly. Powering off, shutting down apps, letting it sit have not worked. This has happened once before months ago, but the issue resolved itself somehow. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

    Try this for the freezing

  • I am having problem with using the Basic brush definition

    I am having problem with using the Basic brush definition. When I try to click on it will not allow me to use it and will automatically use the 5 pt. oval brush definition. The only way I can use the basic brush is after I have already drawn something and then I have to click on the stroke and then press basic. This is incredibly annoying and if anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it. (I have Adobe CS6)

    for whatever reason, the basic 'brush' you see in the brushes palette effectively means removing any brush from a path. to draw with the brush tool you need a brush defined. in your case the last one selected being the 5 pt oval one.

    Basic is not a brush, only a starting point for you to make a brush. Load the real brush you want before beginning to draw.

  • Anyone having problems with art/animation/audio disappearing from the timeline after a save?

    Hello,
    I'm having problems with many files losing their assets from the timeline after a save and reopening the file in Mac OS X Snow Leopard. This is happens quite often now and there seems to be no pattern to it. For example, I will open an existing Flash animation complete with sound and artwork, make changes to the animation timing, test the SWF and everything looks good, then save. After reopening the exact same file, there will be audio that was on the timeline will be an empty frame. In addition, there is art work that was swapped out or updated to a character and the symbols becomes empty after reopening. I'm losing days and hours of work and I can't seem to find any answers or help to figure out what's going on.
    Any insight would be appreciated!
    thanks!

    I now use CS5.5 but I've noticed it on every version since CS4.
    I JUST ran the latest update to 11.5.1.349
    I'll let you know if it continues but for now I'm planning to learn a new software. Finally have some time to focus on this and if it works out I may say so long to Flash. I'll give CS6 a try but if it's not SIGNIFICANTLY improved (Brush tool comparable to ToonBoom, No losing data, Better Playback, Ability to export HTML5), it's just not worth it anymore. I've been using Flash since version 1 and since Adobe took it over, I hate to say that anything other than actionscript has gone WAY downhill. Many new features but they don't actually work well, or crash at runtime if used beyond a tutorial's level intensity. What's the point of all that functionality if it looks like garbage and can't perform on a professional level? Even if you do take the extra time to work slowly or limited to make it look nice - it loses the data! or now without HTML5 your venues of use are sliced in half? Pointless. I don't want to trash all my Flash experience, but I'm done defending an inferior product and waiting for it to catch up to a modern professional standard. I think my Flash days may be over very soon unfortunately. I feel like the're more interested in defending what they've created, than in making it work or even asking us what we want. I feel like a Girlfriend who's Man keeps promising to get steady work but hasn't after 10 years. Flash...we need to talk.

  • Start up problems with Jag/eMac

    I'm having problems with my eMac starting up with Jag (latest version). BEHAVIOR: It hangs after the gray Apple, after the blue screen with the extensions and gives only a blue screen (mouse in upper left hand corner of screen) and appears to blink to a slightly lighter blue screen then back.
    Here's what I've tried.
    1) Boot to Safe Mode (hold down shift key right after start up chime). Results: gives gray Apple, blue screen with extensions loading showing 'Safe' then blue screen as in BEHAVIOR (above).
    2) Boot from OS X Jag install disk (hold down C key after start up chime), run Disk Utility to Repair Permissions & Repair Disk. Results: permissions repaired; disk repaired (but gives msg 'overlapped extent allocation file 1294823d/1294824d" even when Repair Disk done at least 2x, probably 4x). Restart gives BEHAVIOR above.
    3) Boot to the OS 9 install disk (came with computer). Results: starts the install CD but I get error message that hard drive cannot be mounted and asks if I want to initialize (which I don't).
    4) Zap PRAM (hold down Cmd-Opt-P-R as I power up, wait for 5 chimes; then restart). Results: see BEHAVIOR above.
    5) Boot in Target mode (hold down T after start up chime). Results: able to mount the eMac hard disk on my iBook (Panther) and recover files. Ran Repair Disk from the Panther Disk Utility on the mounted eMac hard disk (found the same 'overlapped extent' error message found above). I get the message "The volume eMac HD was repaired successfully. Repair attempted on 1 volume HFS volume repaired." But on reboot, I get the same BEHAIVIOR above.
    6) Hardware test (from CD that came with eMac, ver 1.2.1) was run. Results: all passed (ran it 2x with same results).
    Is this one of those 'overlapped' problems that nothing else will (easily) will work except a) backup files (via FW) and b) erasing hard disk and reinstall?
    Is Disk Warrior really that good? Good enough to fix this without having to back, erase and reinstall the OS?
    Thanks,
    Richard
    eMac   Mac OS X (10.2.x)   multiple systems

    Thanks for the Apple doc. I followed the directions (new terratory for me) and successfully removed the overlapped files. But my system gave the same behaviour (wouldn't start up), even after the overlap was not detected via Disk Repair or fsck).
    So I did an erase and install (after backup via target mode) from my system disks, downloaded all the updates, etc. And I can get a system start!
    But now I cannot add a printer to the Print Center. Argh (never had these kinds of problems with Macs before; usually an erase/install cures all).
    I've repaired permissions, run everything I can find with the Printer Center Repair v. 3.0.3 from www.fixamac.net, rebooting after everything tried. Still the Print Center unexpectedly quits when I try to add a printer.
    I'm poking around the Printing & Faxing discussion group but not turning up anthing that works. Any Ideas?

  • Having problems with using shift alt command when using the square tool

    having problems with using shift alt command when using the square tool

    Marco,
    If no good reason, such as the one suggested by Silkrooster, is present, you may try the list, hoping for one of the easy ones at the top.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

    Having problems with Bridge shutting down after saving photo in PS Cs5,,,,,,,,,  Also when i attempt to update either PS or bridge get an error message in Adobe application manger "Error loading updater workflow"

    Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
    The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
    However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
    I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
    However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
    So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.
