Image distorting after rendering..?

Hello, I am fairly new to AE so any help would be grateful!
The issue I am having is that I have created a comp with 2 PNG files in it. These PNG's are setup in a 3d format so I can pan and zoom from one over to the other then scroll past the image until it leaves the screen...During the preview if the comp it looks great. I then put the comp into my main and previewed it from there...it still looks great. The problem arrises when I Render the movie out. No matter what I do, that particular comp looks horrible. I can't even read the words on one of my images it's so distorted.
So this leads me to believe that I'm missing an output option for rendering. I have tried rendering as AVI, MPG2, H264, etc. tried even rendering with lower and upper fields first..I have also selected the options on the comp to "preserve resolution when nested" (which helped out in how it looked for the preview but not the render).
I have been searching the web for the last 2 hours trying to find an answer and I still come up with nothing.
Here's an example:
Preview from RAM:
And final movie render:
THis has got to be an easy fix....
EDIT::::::::
I have now even changed the image from a .PNG over to a .TIF with no compression...And there is no change in the distortion, it's still messed up.

I have used VLC, Windows Media Player, Quicktime and even Winamp...all of which look horrible.
The image from above was taken with VLC.
Even while previewing the render that image looks terrible.
EDIT::::::
Could the distortion have to do with the image size itself?
The resolution of the image direct from photoshop is 1296x3758...
what I have noticed is that if I drop the resolution size down to 1097x886 (random size test), There is NO distortion and the image is perfect...
This doesn't help me though as I need an image large enough to scroll through and would rather not have to attach multiple images together using AE..

IPhoto image deleted after rendering

I've just upgraded to iMovie HD 6.03. I have the latest version of Quicktime installed and the latest version of OSX installed.
When importing a photo from iPhoto into iMovie - using the Ken Burns effect - the photo goes black after rendering. Non-Ken Burns version goes to iMovie trash.
I've deleted the preferences file, ran disk permissions utilities and it still doesn't work. I get no errors related to graphics cards. This capability worked fine in prior versions of iMovie.
Any additional suggestions?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8) 768MB SDRAM

It's a bug. As you say, when we import a photo with the Ken Burn checkbox ON, iMovie puts its copy of the source image in the iMovie Trash. If we empty the Trash the image is discarded, making it impossible to Update the clip later.

N70 MMS image distortion after firmware upgrade.

Does anyone know why my phone now distorts all images I put into an mms if they are in a portrait format? It seems to stretch them all to landscape format. I sent one to a friend and asked if it looked distorted at their end and they said it did. It seems to make no difference whether it's taken in portrait originally or rotated afterwards. It also doesn't matter which button you use to take the picture.
Any ideas?
Cheers.

The exact same issues happened to my N70 after updating the firmware to the latest.
Didn't happen before and it's very annoying.
Any idea how it can be fixed???????

Visual distortion after rendering (Apple ProRes)

When I use the share project "Master File" option and select any of the "Apple ProRes" options my final rendering has horazontal distortion lines that apear around moving objects.
My work around has been having to render using the share project "Email" option. Overall quality is not as good but I don't get the visual distortions.
Anyone else have this problem and found a solution. I find it a bummer that I can't use the built in compression options to render my movies.

Yes, your clips are interlaced. The 60i means 60 fields displayed at 29.97 frames per second.
My guess is what you're seeing is interlaced combing, which is typically visible in scenes with lots of motion, and is very distracting when displayed on a computer screen. (Interlaced is really a format made for broadcast.)
So you probably want to de-interlace. Your options include doing that from within FCP (choose the Settings view for the Inspector, Compressor (use Frame Controls), Motion (apply filter), and MPEG Streamclip (a free download). See if de-interlacing doesn't cure the problem.
My preference would be to de-interlace the material, then import it. But since you presumably have a completed project, try changing the field dominance over-ride in the Inspector to see whether the results are satisfactory.
Good luck.

Image distorted after import from FCP

I've been working on this project for some time now, and it's really frustrating.
I'm editing together footage from two cameras (A Canon XL1 and a Panasonic AG-DVC 7P) in Final Cut and then exporting that as a quicktime movie, bringing that into Motion to add titles and logos. When it's exported, burned to DVD and played on a TV, some shots look really terrible.
It's as if there are lines of distortion (like it's shaky, leaving traces of the image) on many of the quick shots, especially when it's a quick pan or tilt. It looks alright on the computer screen but turns to dookie on a TV.
Is there some problem with the scanning, interlaced or progressive setting? I could use a hand if anyone has seen this kind of problem before.
Thanks a bunch,
Matt

When doing the titles and logos are you doing them in motion and then importing them into FCP or did u bring the whole thing into motion at the end.
Also could be a problem with your burner.

Clips are getting distorted after rendering a color grade; any solutions?

I've been experiencing this problem as I've been learning to color grade. Once I have all of my layers set the way I want them (initial correction, color alteration, masking, and sometimes adding a vinette) and I go to render, my clip will become completely distorted. Is there any solution to this when it happens, or will I have to restart the grade completely? Could there just be something I'm doing wrong in my workflow? I'm open to any and all answers.

Pure guess, do you have set in preferences high quality in playback.

Colors in an image comes out different after rendering comp

Hey guys, having an annoying problem.
For a project, I've imported a jpeg file that I made on Photoshop. The colors look perfectly fine on the RAM previews and stuff but after I render it, just that specific jpg image comes washed out. It should be dark grey / almost black but after rendering into .mov that image becomes medium grey. It's noticeably more washed out and lighter. All the other colors in that image are also noticeably lighter as well.
Any ideas whats going on? I have set my working space to my monitors color profile and I have proofed the colors after saving on Photoshop.
Thanks! This is driving me nuts!

I send the composition to the Render Queue and do it from there. I have my render settings to "Best", and output module to "Lossless".
Regarding the codec, I'm not sure about that. How can I find out? Sorry this is my first time really with AE.
EDIT: FIXED!
On the output module, I had it set to Quicktime before. I changed that to H.264 and the colors were fine after that. Whew!
Thanks for all your help Rick!

Still Image distortion and washed out image quality after exporting

Hi,
I am a relatively new Final Cut Studio 2 user I've taken a few classes and I know the basics and a little beyond. So far my projects have been coming out well until I started having to add still images to my projects. When I add these images I size down in Photoshop CS3 appropriately, usually they are really large tiffs or standard jpegs. Then when I import them into Final Cut I size them one more time to match the wire frame. When I play the movie I created in Final Cut it looks great but after I export it using compressor I either get a pixilated type of image distortion or the images are washed out, but its usually only on certain images not all images in the project are affected. My projects usually end up embedded on our website or up on youtube or bliptv, so I have been bouncing between the H.264 300Kbps for medium bandwidth streaming and H.264 800 Kbps for high bandwidth. Would someone be able to tell me if there is a better codec I should use for the web that would get rid of these problems that I am having or do I need to size my images in a different way? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
The Louse~

Image cannot be rendered because Aperture does not support image format

Dear all,
I have installed apple Aperture 3.03 and the complete Nick software plug-in selection:
• Dfine 2.0 for Aperture
• Color Efex Pro 3.0 Complete for Aperture
• Silver Efex Pro for Aperture
• Sharpener Pro 3.0 for Aperture
• Viveza 2 for Aperture
History
Until a few days ago the system was running ok / no notable issues on performance. / all pug in seem to run good / no issues. Also
• I Run OSX10.4/ Aperture 3.03 ( 32Bit mode)
• My library contains just over 10000 images / approximately 140GB
• I have recently updated the OSX software update including the security update 2010-005
• as well as the Snow leopard graphic update 1.0
• As far as I am aware all updates where automatically recommended by OSX Software update ( no manual intervention).
• As far as I remember after update the system still was running ok but honestly I can not tell you how many times the Nick Plug in started out of Aperture.
After all, Several times I continued using the system / still no noticeable problem until the following was happening:
Problem:
After creating with "PT gui" a panoramic image File type: "TIF" Pixel size: 5112 × 2556 (13,1 MP) I imputed this file in to Aperture (drag and drop). During the attempt to eddied this file with "Nick Define 2.0" the system was hamming up No response for several minutes from Dfine 2.0 / Aperture" At the end I had to "force quit" the applications.
After the consequential reopening of Aperture I tried again to eddied images with any Nick software Plug-In but each time Aperture prepares any image previously stored in my Library ti open the Pug in the following Error message appears:
*"This image cannot be rendered for editing because Aperture does not support the image format"*
Currently non of my previously in the library safed images can be opened in a Nick software Plug-In this applies to all file types I have tied " Raw, tif, jpg"
• I am still able to eddied normally with Aperture ( so far I do not find any other issue)
• A newly imported Raw image after being taken with my EOS 5D can be edited in the completed Nick software Plug-In selection ( so far I do not find any other issue)
The following actions have been taken to overcome the issue (all not successful):
• I restored my Library out of my back Up ( to previous time of event ( no Time machine back up)
• Uninstallation of all Nick software Plug-In selection
• Uninstallation Aperture Reinstallation Aperture / Nick software Plug-In selection
• Repairing the library ( all three possibilities)
• installation of latest EOS utilitys
Questions
• Can you support me to overcome this issue?
• Have you heard similar issues of Nick user Running the Aperture plug-ins?
For me it is really strange that even after replacing the the library in my normally not connect back up the problem still exists (this should be not affected by the event as the back up was not done any more) / new imported images are editable with the Plug-In.
I would be happy if you could support me in this issue.
Best regards,
Matthias
PS: I have reported this issue to Apple (via Aperture feedback) as well as contacted the Nick software support and currently waiting for feedback.

Dear Ma-Le / All
I have just had the same problem
I use
• Aperture 3.03 with a iMac 2.8 Intel Core 2 Duo with all files on external hard disks (mac extended fomat as apple suggests) with referenced masters.
• Camera Nikon D300, with probably 75,000+ images on 2 hard drives
• Photoshop CS2 with PhotoTools 2.5 plugin
This has been working perfectly until yesterday when the system froze when I was using PhotoTools 2.5 with Photoshop CS2 - as a result of which I resorted to a force quit.
Since then on most of my files it has not been possible to use an external editor.
A message appears saying: *Editing Error - This image cannot be rendered for editing because Aperture does not support image format*.
The problem seems to apply to the attempted use of any external editor (including Noise Ninja)
The following have each been tried, all unsuccessfully:
- Using each of Aperture's library 3 first aid options
- Rebuilding directory using Diskwarrior
- Checking for virus using Virus Barrier X4
- Defragmenting library hard disk using TechTool pro
- Changing permissions settings
- Using Disk Utility first aid to repair permissions and checking main disk
- Removing some plist elements when open 'show package contents' of library
- Setting up a(n almost clean) new system, with newly loaded version of Aperture, with a new library from a vault saved prior to the crash when the problem first occured
Several things seem to me to be totally bizarre:
1 - The problem is the same on the other library hard disk which was not in use at the time
2 - The problem still occurs when a back up vault saved prior to this problem is loaded - using a new hard disk with a new system and a newly reloaded and upgraded Aperture software
3- The problem seems inconsistent. It appears to affect some photos but not all. Even from the same shoot, some photos can be edited using an external editor, whilst others cannot (but as far as i can tell most of the photos in a particular album seem to be consistently affected)
4- The only way around it seems to be if I import a new (copy image) from the original master. Then everything works ok, and I can successfully edit that copy image in photoshop / phototools plug-in.
I am beginning to wonder whether what has been corrupted is Aperture's ability to make copies from the master file which it then uses with the external editor (I have no real idea whether this is correct)
Does anyone have any ideas or solutions - or has anyone else been suffering a similar problem?
Eric
PS: As a professional photographer this problem is a really serious issue for me - and I really don't really want to go to Lightroom or Capture One

Audio problem after rendering!

Hi everyone! I am having a problem with sound in my project after rendering. I am using Adobe Premiere CS2 , and in Audio track 1, I have someone speaking, and in track 2 I have backround music. When I play it back in the window, together it sounds perfect. After rendering, the voice becomes very crackly and distorted. I have tried rendering just the voice without the backround music, and it sounds perfect. It seems the addition of backround music is causing the distortion to the other track. I have tried rendering the backround music seperately and adding it in, but still the problem persists. I adjust the music so that when the kids are talking, the music dips down, and when they are not, I leave it at it's normal level. HELP..I am losing my grip on this one! Thanks so much....Tammy

Tammy,
If we've dropped a bit of time for this part of the edit, you now have time for more fun aspects of it.
While I will casually monitor my Meters, I spend much more time with a good set of noise-canceling headphones, listening critically. The Meters are basically to point up potential issues. With Audio, if you have not invested in a really good set of headphones, do yourself a big favor, and sneak 'em into the budget.
Glad that you got things toned down.
Now, let's go on to Lesson 02 - The Audio Mixer. Unlike adding Keyframes to a Clip, when your cutting is done, you can apply Track Keyframes to attenuate (also Pan, etc.) you Audio Tracks to suit. One would just change the Send in that Track to Write, or Touch, and "ride the gain" with the slider, as is required. I probably do most of my Audio editing there, than addressing the individual Clips. First thing that I have done is cut back a bit on the frequency of the Track Keyframes in Edit>Preferences, as I find the default to add too many (and you can go in and adjust these by hand, if you need to "smooth" things out a bit.). One caution: do this when you are satisfied with the cuts, Clip placement, etc., as these Keyframes are applied to the Track. If you were to remove a Clip, and replace it, those Keyframes would apply to that new Clip, whether you want them to, or not. This trips some folk up, if they do the Audio Mixer thing too soon in the editing. Wait until you are "in love" with your Timeline otherwise. It's like scoring a Project. One does that as about the very last step, or much work will be repeated, and that is not fun.
Good luck,
Hunt

Video "Hits" After Rendering

After I render a piece of my timeline and look at it on our studio monitor, I'm getting a good amount of what I would call "hits" in the video, like hits you would see on an old tape that's past its prime. The timeline has a number of graphics layered on top of one another with text and moving jpegs, with a broadcast safe filter on everything.
I've had weird things appear after rendering before, but they've always gone away after rerendering. This time they're pretty consistently in the same spots.
Any ideas about settings I should look into or other work arounds?

I have seen this on several occasions and there seem to be a few causes.
possibilities:
1) you are using the Broadcast safe filter, if the clipping on your images are extreme you get strange green and white artifacts after rendering. Try using the 3-way color corrector to bring levels down before applying the BS filter. Or if the artifacts are occurring on graphics, make adjustments in Photoshop (or whatever program you created the graphics in) and bring them back into FCP. A lot of people create graphics using the full range of RGB colors and luminance values. NTSC video does not have as large of a chroma and luma range as RGB.
2) You are working in an uncompressed 10-bit sequence and applying filters that are not compatible (for lack of a better word) with Apple's 10-bit codec. (Or you are just getting random render problems in 10-bit). I have had many, many render issues in 10-bit that went away by switching to 8-bit. In most cases you can't really see much difference between 8 and 10 bit video anyway, so why go through the hassle or working with it. If you are doing a lot of green screen work, you may want to reevaluate this argument.
I'm sure there are other possible causes for the problems you're experiencing, but these are the ones I've run into in the past.
Graeme Nattress knows a lot about 10-bit issues in FCP, perhaps he can chime in with some suggestions/explanations.

After Effects change size of the Movie after rendering mp4

Hi,
I created a new composition and wanted to render it as an mp4 file. The composition has a size of 1500px x 1000px, after rendering, the mp4 file has a size of 750px x 576px - everthing is distorted. I don't know what happened, because everything was prechecked because the size matters.
Is someone know what happend and what I can do, to prevent such a mistake? (it is my first After Effects project ever - I'm a nube)
Thank you Dan

mp4 is a compression format based on specific blocks of pixels and the legal sizes are set by the codec, there is nothing you can do except pick another codec if you must have 1500 X 1000 as a final size. Why did you pick that size? If you must deliver an mp4 then you should be working with standard sizes for your compositions and they should be square pixels... Always square pixels for mp4.

Titles made in Premiere become fuzzy after rendering

Is there a setting or button to check in Premiere to prevent titles made in Premiere from loosing the clarity and shapeness they had to becoming fuzzy and out of focus after the video is rendered?

I'm a novice learning Premiere. I assumed the softwear would make the export setting the same as the settings used to make the video sequence. I checked the best quality boxes and in both the rendering and exporting windows, but the text in the titles made with Premiere played back fuzzy. However, all the images I used stayed sharp in playback after rendering and exporting, even text that was already in images I imported in to Premiere stayed sharp in playback after rendering and exporting. What are the best sequence and export settings to use to produce sharp clear titles made in Premiere?

Pixelization after Rendering - Desaturate Highlights?

I'm running Final Cut Pro 5.0.4 (anyone know where I can get the $49 5.1 update?).
I've shot a video on miniDV, and have edited it into an Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2 sequence. In the Video Processing tab, I've selected "Render All YUV Material in High-Precision YUV" and set Motion Filtering Quality to "Best."
I've applied two filters to the footage: Color Corrector 3-Way and Desaturate Highlights. There are no other effects, including speed changes.
Prior to rendering my clip, the footage looks like this in the Canvas window:
After rendering, the footage becomes extremely pixellated:
I've tried changing to Apple Intermediate Codec and the result is the same.
Curiously, if I turn off the Desaturate Highlights filter and then render (in Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2), the footage is fine, and looks like the first image above (aside from not having the effects of the Desaturate Highlights filter, of course - which I very much need).
Does anyone have any ideas on how to correct this issue?

There are, unfortunately, known issues with rendering in High-Precision YUV when working in 10-bit in Final Cut Pro.
Any luck attempting to render in simply YUV? (I understand you want to the best quality possible, but it is what it is)
I switched my sequence over to "Render 10-bit material in High-Precision YUV" and got the same result; however, switching it to "Render in 8-bit YUV" cleared it up. Thanks!
Is there a different high-quality codec I could use instead of 10-bit Uncompressed 4:2:2 due to this problem? If I had FCS2 I'd just switch to ProRes, but...well...it's expensive. I may take it to a computer that has FCS2 though and render it in ProRes High-Precision YUV there.
Thanks!

Perfect audio in FCPX timeline, distorted after export to QuickTime mov

Anyone experiencing distorted audio with a QuickTime movie file exported from Final Cut Pro X? The audio sounds great in the timeline, but muffled and distorted after exporting it. Here's the kicker, I took that same file and opened it using QuickTime 7 and the audio is fine. I took that same file and converted it to a WMV file using Flip Player, and the audio is fine. So it would seem that the problem is the newest version of QuickTime (v10.4). If any of you have come to a similar conclusion, is there a way to remedy this? It's problematic because when I upload the file to YouTube, the distortion is present. Thanks in advance to everyone who can assist with this.
MY SYSTEM:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), 2.8GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM
OSX Yosemite 10.10.2
FCPX v10.1.4
QuickTime v10.4

Hi Al,
Here are the steps I use to export:
From the File menu, I select 'Share' and select 'Master File'
In the pop-up dialog box I click on 'Settings' and select 'H264' as the CODEC
I open the rendered file with QuickTime Player and the audio is distorted.
I open the rendered file with QuickTime Player 7 and the audio is fine
I convert the exported file to a WMV file using Pro version of Flip Player. The audio in the resulting file is fine.
I'm no expert but this would on the outset appear to be a problem with QuickTime v10.4. I can't seem to find a way to resolve this. Thank you for your assistance.
FYI - the audio file for the project is pulled in to FCPX as an mp3 directly from the iTunes library via the 'Music and Sound' browser.
