Problem of Video Export on After Effect CC

How come my screen resolution changed automatically after I convert my comp to H.264 (mp4) movie by After Affects CC? Graphics come out weirdly fatter, such as the ellipse I draw can't be in perfect circle. Can someone help me fix this issue, please?

Your composition was rectangular pixels, your artwork was improperly interpreted, you failed to understand pixel aspect ratios. Generally you always want to create all of your projects using After Effects default composition sizes that result in square pixel projects. Only the very rare project would be delivered in a non square pixel format.
If you post your composition settings we can verify this is true and that I'm not just guessing. The only other option is that for some reason you adjusted the output module and render settings to scale the project and produce a non square pixel render.

  • Video compression in After Effects

    Hi,
    i have a little problem with video compression in After Effects.When I was looking for example on that video: http://vimeo.com/18672227 the quality in HD is really great. When we was trying to compress our video in After Effects, the best result, which we was able to get, had 80 MB and 18 seconds and the quality was still much worst than like the one which i posted above. 80 MB for only 18 secs of video and with that quality seems too much for me. I really doubt it is normal. Then for example video which i posted above should have 2000 MB and i really don't believe that.
    Is there some way how to get HD quality video for internet streaming with affordable size from After Effect rendering compression? Which settings, formats or codecs I should use? Or do i need some other Adobe program which is builded for this better compressions?

    You are looking for an easy answer where there is none. Yes, there are better tools than AE for final compression like Adobe Media Encoder, but your format will still be H.264. The rest is very much a matter of experience and a combination of settings for data rates, encoding passes and so on plus tricks on how to deal with Gamma shifts and color skewing due to the chroma undersampling. Without seeing the actual footage, nobody will be able to give you any exact pointers, but generally the presets you find in AE and AME will provide a good basis. The rest is just tippy-toeing through the settings and learning by doing. Also do some general research on the matter. Because it is so complex and difficult, this topic is discussed to death on pretty much every forum that deals with video editing, DVD/ BluRay authoring and ripping movies for fun...

  • Export to After Effects CS3 in FCE 4 workflow.

    I set up my FCE 4 prefs to edit video in After Effects CS3. After I rendered the clip in FCE 4, I right clicked to >edit video in editor, After Effects CS3 opened and low and behold sat my clip with the same settings that my FCE 4 project had. After some AE title work, to get it back into FCE 4 I used Render Queue in AE set at the same settings. I then took the .mov and overwrote the clip in FCE 4. The composite looked like the original ( with the new compositing work of course ). The audio even worked perfect.
    I tried to do the same thing in Motion 2 ... um .... no luck. Motion would not open any files... period.
    This may work as a nice round trip compositing workflow that was taken away with the export features that were in FCE 3.5 HD.
    Since Motion is not available as a separate app any longer, this may be a great alternative for FCE 4 users who what to do some compositing in their projects.

    Curious, what does Apple want you to do with open video in editor feature in FCE 4?
    I think it works with Livetype 2, but it's not a video editor in my opinion.
    Can't round trip with Motion and FCP with the edit in video option. I think I saw a tutorial once where after you have done an initial round trip, you can use this feature to go back and forth?
    I know that you can open Motion projects in AE by changing the extension. I do not think I would open LiveType in AE, doesn't make sense to me.
    At least us FCE users who want to do some compositing work have some options. I still wish I could round trip with Motion though.

  • Exporting from After Effects (field dominance issues?)

    Hi all,
    I created a FCP DV/NTSC sequence with field dominance set to none (I'm working with still images, this improves the quality a lot). I then export that sequence as a quicktime movie file and import that movie file into After Effects.
    The problem is after I'm done working in After Effects, I can't export a quicktime file without it looking really poor quality. When exporting, I preserve all the original FCP sequence settings, except the field dominance settings(doesn't seem to be an option in After Effects for this?).
    So pretty much I am trying to get a sharp picture when exporting in After Effects, so I can take it back into FCP. Please assist.

    Your workflow is quite limited by the DV NTSC sequence. If your sequence is all stills, you are not necessarily tied to that setting at all. Do you need to output to a VTR via FireWire ultimately? What is your final output?
    A better sequence choice might be DV50. You would export a QT movie, current settings. You don't actually export from After Effects. You render by adding your comp to the Render Queue. Good render settings would be DV50 (this would not require rendering in FCP), Animation, or perhaps ProRes 422 HQ if you have access to it. You would choose not to render fields.
    If it's all stills, it would be better yet to simply start in After Effects.

  • Exporting to after effects

    I'm trying to make a spinning graphic appear 3D and the
    transform effect in flash isn't doing a good enough job so I'm
    trying to export it to After Effects to skew the animation angle
    there. The problem I'm having is even though swf appears as a
    supported format in the import option in After Effects, it says
    there's a quick time error and the format isn't supported.
    The only way I have been able to export to After Effects is
    by converting the animation to a gif. Which causes the file to be
    huge (around 2000kb).
    Somebody please tell me what I need to do to import an
    animation to After Effects in vector form.

    Reference or self-contained will make no difference to the quality. If you don't need to carry transparency then QuickTime Movie is your best option.

  • Vanishing Point filter, export for After Effects (.vpe) is disabled

    I am using Photoshop CS6 Extended (ver 13.0). I can apply the Vanishing Point filter to a jpeg still and set/apply the planes but the Export For After Effects (.vpe) command in the drop-down menu within the VP window is greyed out. I understood this filter is a feature of the Extended version. Can anyone help explain why this is disabled? Much appreciate any advice.

    Hi, I'm having the same problem...all I want is to create perspective on this chinese temple I've masked out of a background. There are only two planes. Is the VP effect possible on this? Both planes are blue but the export button is still grayed out.

  • Exporting from After Effects to Final Cut Pro

    Hi
    Could anybody tell me the best way to export from After Effects, back in to Final Cut Pro? Do I need to get Automatic Duck for this, if so which one?
    Thanks for any help!
    Matt

    You need to add your composition to the render cue and then export to the same format and codec that you're using in FCP. Automatic Duck is a great tool for getting your FCP or Motion timelines into After Effects but most of the time I simply select a clip in FCP, export it as a reference movie, bring it into AE for processing, then render a file to use as a replacement in FCP.
    Search for After Effects Final Cut Workflow and you'll find some more tips including this one. It isn't bad for organization but it misses the point of using the same codec. All my FCP projects are ProRez HQ or ProREZ 444 so that's my choice. Also, if you use the entire shot, which is not a bad idea, then you can use the replace footage option in FCP which is more efficient than the demoed technique of dragging your rendered shot into the timeline and then trimming if needed.
    Hope this helps.

  • Hallo, i have a problem with the intallation about after effects. I have a mac 10.6.8 and they told me I can't installete it because i don't have a system with 64 bit. how can i do? someone told me i can .. but i don't know how. thank you

    hallo, i have a problem with the intallation about after effects. I have a mac 10.6.8 and they told me I can't installete it because i don't have a system with 64 bit. how can i do? someone told me i can .. but i don't know how. thank you

    You cannot.  If someone else told you there is a way then they will need to show you.  After Effects requires a 64-bit system and the latest release requires Mac OS X v10.8 or v10.9 minimum

  • Problème point de fuite dans l'export pour after effect

    Bonjour,
    Je cherche à créer un fichier .vpe sur photoshop pour l'utiliser sur after effect mais les fichiers png créés sont totalement déformés et incohérents, comme si photoshop ne prenait pas en compte les plans créés dans l'interface "point de fuite". Existe t-il des preferences générales à modifier sur photoshop pour éviter ce type de déformation? J'ai essayé sur tous les types de photos et de perspectives et n'arrive jamais à obtenir un seul résultat s'approchant de la création de 4 ou 5 png transformés pour rendre compte la perspective. Je ne vois que des png complètement étirés voir dédoublés.
    Je possède Photoshop CC 2014 et l'abonnement creative cloud.
    Et vous remerciant par avance pour votre aide.
    PS. En PJ un exemple de l'un des png créés par l'export vers After effect.

    Yopmanfoll please see Configuration error 16 | CC, CS for information on how to resolve the current error.

  • Sound problem with exporting from After Effects

    Hello everybody,
    I exported a windows media video from premiere cs5 (it was shot with the cannon 7d).
    The video has 1 video channel, 1 audio channel that contains a conversation, and another audio channel that contains only music.
    After I exported it, I imported the video into After Effects cs5, I added some effects, and then I exported it as a windows media video.
    The audio settings were:
    Mode- music
    codec- windows meida audio voice 9
    audio format- 20kbps, 22.05 khz, mono
    Even though the video from Premiere was flawless, the one from After Effects contains the conversation perfectly, but the music is very low and even erratic.
    Did anybody experienced this problem?

    AE doesn't deal with multiple channels. It always assumes that a file with 2 channels is stereo. You need to export the audio from Premiere separately or create a proper stereo mix, not throw two interleaved mono channels at AE...

  • 16:9 video sides cut off when exported from After Effects

    When I export a 16:9 video from After Effects, the sides are cut off in the exported clip.  I've tried different export settings and and my composition settings are correct, from what I can tell. Does anyone know why this could be happening?
    Thanks!

    and my composition settings are correct, from what I can tell.
    But are they really? We cannot know, because you don't say anything about your exact render settings and comp settings, which is what is required here. You could be using an unsuitable CoDec or even crop your output inadvertently by using a specific output module setting....
