After Effects riddle (bad quality when I delet sth different)

Hi there. I have one bought project an I am wondering why my logo makes blurred automatically if I delete any different layer who is unseen.
Someone can explain this?
This is an "UNSEEN" layer. It has to be right here. When I delete this invisible layer, my logo ("Logo Animation" name below) makes blurres and got bad quality. But I see no reason for that. "Map 1" has no option or parented or something. Do you know why if I delete unseen "Map1" my Logo makes bad quality?
Here is a whole project:
MEGA
This is not extreme important thing to my job or sth. I am only curious

Compositing Settings:

I've used different file formats and it worked fine. Only it give me poor quality when i use h.264 with VBR, 2 Pass. If i change it to VBR, 1 pass, the quality will be fine
I've also used different compositions with different source files. same result
See the attached images for reference. I hope you can see the difference. Thank you

Want ProRes export from After Effects. Bad Quality. What possibilities do I have?

Hey guys,
I've got a question...
I'm working on a project in After Effects and want to export it now as a quicktime movie with prores.
The movie I get, has got a bad quality and seems blurred.
I can export as animation but is there another possibility?
Need more information? Please ask!
Best regards

Did you mean to ask this on the Premiere Pro forum? Your post mentions After Effects. Are you looking for a solution using Premiere Pro or After Effects?
Also, when asking about poor quality, it's best to post an example (such as a screenshot) so that we can see what you're referring to.
It also helps if you give details about what version of the applicaiton you're using, what operating system, and so on.

Does anyone experienced bad quality when burning a DVD?

Does anyone experienced bad quality when burning a DVD?
Using OS 10.6.8 and Magiv Video in iDVD, I am having a hard time creating a decent DVD. The videos per se are fine, but the intro menu and menu text and images are extremely poor quality and hard to read. What is going on?

Hi my notes on this - might be of help
DVD quality
1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1)
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
• Best Performances
(movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
About double on DL DVDs.
2. Video from
• FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not self-containing, no conversion)
• iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
when the movie includes photos and the Ken Burns effect NOT is used. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
• iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser and as Large (NOT HD or other resolutiona as result will suffer) or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly e.g. x4 or x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09 this can also be set)
This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application when burning from a DiskImage.
4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc). For SD-Video - if HD-material is used I guess that 4 to 5 times more would do.
5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW) - DVD-R play’s on more and older DVD-Players
7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
(I use JES_Deinterlacer to keep frame per sec. same from editing to the Video-DVD result.)
8. Don’t burn more than three DVDs at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while before next batch.
iDVD quality also depends on.
• DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
deliver anything better that this.
HD-DVD was a short-lived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-Player.
Blu-Ray / BD can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
_ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. BD-component
_ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
_ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to playback
The BD-encoded DVDs can be play-backed IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
• HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx. 25Gb.
less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
• How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
• Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
• Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera record in = 100% to iDVD
• What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
• What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
(If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JES_Deinterlacer_3.2.2 do the conversion)
(Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
(US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
(EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
UNLESS. They are play-backed by a Mac - then You need not to care
• What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
• How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
Best / High Performances (most often my choice before Pro Quality)
1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
(x4 by some and may be even better)
2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
Region codes.
iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
1 = US
2 = EU

What it turned out to be was the "quality" settings in iDVD. The total clip time was NOT over 2 hours or 4.7GB, yet iDVD created massive visual artifacts on the "professional quality" setting.
I switched the settings to "high quality" which solved the problem. According iDVD help, "high quality" determines the best bit rate for the clips you have.
I have NEVER seen iDVD do this before, especially when I was under the 2 hour and 4.7GB limits.
For anyone else, there seem to be 2 places in iDVD to set quality settings, the first is under "preferences" and the second under "project info." They do NOT seem to be linked (i.e. if you change one, the other is NOT changed). take care, Mario
TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
• Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk
• No other programs running in BackGround e.g. Energy-Saver
• Don’t let HD spin down or be turned off (in Energy-Save)
• Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
• Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
• Set screen-saver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set
pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show

Bad quality when play mov or mp4

I want to play mov or mp4 by quicktime. In my laptop it play well but in my another computer the quality for video is very bad!
Following is the features of that computer:
Windows XP Pro SP2
VIA C7 Processor 1500MHZ 512M RAM
Graphics card: VIA/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP
I upload the screen snapshot of this problem on my blog. Please look at the following url:
http://apolloxiao.blogspot.com/2009/11/bad-quality-when-play-mov-by-quicktime.ht ml
Thank you very much!

My first thought was a video card driver because that will produce the streaks across the screen but usually more extreme.
Then it could be hardware related, do you know the history of the computer, as to any recent changes?
I don't really have a solution and don't want to string you along. But I swap around hardware, and me, I'd pull the video card out and make sure it's seated properly in the AGP or PCI slot on the motherboard. If it's not a on-board video card.
You seem to be showing a dual monitor set-up? If so wouldn't the primary be on the right?

After Effects error: crash occured when invoking...

I get this error: After Effects error: crash occured when invoking rendering plugin "AE_openGL" when I have videos on the timeline and I am scrolling through them.
I run Windows Prof 7, 2.67 gigahertz Intel Core i7 920 Multi-core (4 total), 12 GBs Ram, NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT (2x). My system is fast. I saw one suggestion to turn off openGL. How should I set up my preferences to avoid this?
Thanks.

OpenGL should work even with SLI off. Yes, you lose some performance, but for AE's limited use of these features, it should be neglectible. If for some reason you still get crashes, then you may need to push a few otehr knobs and levers in the driver settings or install a new7 different driver right away. i just cannot offer you a blanket solution that would work from a distance. OpenGL settings are delicate, so you'll have to invest some time in your own experimentation...

CS4 I have created compositions in After Effects CS 4 but when I import them into Premiere Pro CS4

CS4 I have created compositions in After Effects CS 4 but when I import them into Premiere Pro CS4 they only appear in the monitor when the play button is activated. The other clips appear without a problem. I noticed that the same situation arises when I dynamically link to Encore CS4. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you Ann. But the problem is when switched on the AE clips on the timeline are only viewable when I start the project (ie press the space bar) and as it also doesn’t appear in Encore I am afraid to spend a great deal of time creating a DVD with these clips not appearing. Any advice?
Regards and again many thanks

Stills using the Ken Burns effects are bad quality

The high quality still I'm inserting into the timeline using the Ken Burns effects are bad quality. Do you know why? I don't have that problem in iMovie.

Yes, I have rendered it (I think). Not sure how to do that and don't know how to get the "complete specs" of the still image and project.

After Effects CS5.5 crashes when selecting "Edit in Audition" (0::42)

I was surfing around Adobe TV and watching a few tutorials when I decided to try out the edit in audition feature, except when I pulled up my project and selected "edit in audition" I got this error message:
     After Effects error: crash in progress. Last logged message was: <8136>
     <Dynamiclink> <5> 0000000019A79460
     After Effects can't continue: sorry, After Effects has crashed. For After Effects
     help and support, go to http://www.adobe.com/support/aftereffects. If you still
     can't resolve the issue, please contact Adobe technical support (2).
     (0::42)
What I'm trying to import into Audition is really heavily edited and saved as an .aep, but when I do the same with an untouched .mov file it works fine. So maybe it's a limitation of Audition/After Effects? I don't know.
Also, a couple of things have been installed since I started the project, and I read in a thread that might be the problem. But before I go deleting anything I want to make sure the same thing is happening to me.
Aside from this, After Effects works just fine, and so far this is the only error I've gotten.
My setup is
Acer Aspire
Windows 7 64-bit
4GB RAM
Intel i5 processor
Adobe Production Premium

You're probably simply running out of memory to run both programs at the same time and otehr things like compressed audio/ video in the project may complicate matetrs further with hardware acceleration stuff. Not much you can do, most likely beyond the usual advice of making sure all your drivers are up to date...

After Effects Rendering and Quality

I have 2 problems. The first is when I play my video it says it's not realtime and I've tried all sorts of things to try and fix it. My second problem is that when I'm playing my video it's clear and crisp but when I render it and play it the video is a terrible quality and very small.

If you look under the composition preview panel (in normal workstation) there are some options about playback like how large (the percentage drop down box) and a little more to the left there is one that says different resolution presets (half, full). That allows you to render and play back faster (if you use a lower setting).
If this was not what you were trying to do there are alot of other options that you can change after effects with if you click "edit", "Preferences", then the topic you need.

After Effects are not visible when exporting in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4

I have made a simple name/title bar for an interview video, using Adobe After Effects. When i import the composition to Premiere Pro it's visible in the preview window BUT; when I render the video in Premiere Pro the After Effects clip is not visible anymore. AND when i export the complete sequence to a .wmv file, the After Effects clip is not visible either.
I'm not that much of an expert in Premiere Pro or After Effetcs, so hopefully this can easily be solved.
What is it that i'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

The names are the same, but the programs are very different... CS4 is 32bit, CS5 and later is completely rewritten to be 64bit
So, there is a different forum for CS4 and earlier http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere/premierepro_previous?view=all

Thanks for your reply!
Is there any specific firmat i should export as? I have only tried as a *.AE file (which does not show on the final video) and as a *.MP4 file (whick does not have a transparent background - so i cannot use this)

After Effects, Layers change position when converting project from CC to CC 2014

When we convert some projects from CC to CC 2014 some of the layers are shifting position (both x & y).
Anyone else seeing this kind of problems?

Photoshop changed how layer bounds are calculated in some cases, which causes the Photoshop library that we include with After Effects to also have this change. We are currently working to determine how to fix this for the next update. It's tricky, because the new way that Photoshop is doing things is more correct... but it also means that projects created in previous versions look different when opened in the new version. We'll probably end up with a "legacy" option that will prevent this conversion from happening when opening old projects.

Flash animation bad quality when tweened

hello to all!
a)im getting very bad results when i tween objects in flash,ive done the designs(clog wheels)in photoshop and added some fx to them,i save them as a png file and import them into flash,when static all is good,but once they start rotating(motion tweened as a movie clip) making the wheels go around they just look terrible.is it natural for the desing to loose in quality since its moving?or is there smthing that i can do to fix it?
b)when i motion tween an object there is a start keyframe and an ending keyframe once the cursor gets to the ending keyframe there isnt a smooth cycle it seems like the motion does an instant flash at the end,id like for the motion to seem like the wheel is spining like a normal wheel would do.
any help woudl be appreciated.
best regards.

hey!!!
thanks alot for your answer,i ticked on the smoothing box,and also customed the bitmap to 100%quality and it does sure look better.
thanks 1000 for your help.
best regards.
