When exporting a .wmv in After Effects 5 the export adds additional black/Blank frames at the end

We are experiencing an issue where we or a client provides us with a video that is a .wmv video, exported from After Effects 5 and it adds almost a second of data less video.
What I mean by data less is the video renders out as WMV, 30FPS, 24 Bitrates (No audio) that is say 7 seconds long within After Effects. The moment it is rendered/exported, it is 8 seconds and shows 8 seconds in any program we import it to. That last second is empty, there is no frames, not even black frames, and when you preview the video in any program, you see the scrub bar, drop about 1 second before the actual end of the timeline.
I opened the video in Camtasia, and you can clearly see that at the end, it shows in the timeline (Video Editor), however there is no actual video.
I import the video in my company’s software, and I move the frame scrubber at the end, it says 'Unable to retrieve the requested video frame.'. If we import it to our software, it sees no frames for that second, and automatically loops and adds the first second of the video to the end.
Typically we only import uncompressed AVIs, but would like to know what this issue is.
Windows 7 Enterprise
64bit OS
After Effects 5

I 100% agree about not being a fan of .WMV. We only recently added .wmv video support to our own program our clients use for importing videos and graphics. Our customer only used .wmv because it was on our list, and we are running into this issue.
Two different users (our own Graphic Artist, and our clients Graphic Artist) and we get the same result. We are 100% certain there is no video framerate mismatch in either of the AE files.
It would be interesting to see if anyone else using AE, if they could make a video few seconds long, export as a WMV and see if another program shows a whole extra second at the end, that has no data.
Thanks for your responses thus far.

  • Trimming HD video files for export from Windows to After Effects on a MAC

    Hi,
    I have some .MTS files created using 2 HD camcorders:
    1) Panasonic HDC-TM700 which shoots full HD @ 1920 x 1080 and
    2) JVC Everio GZ-HM550 which shoots the same HD resolution
    I am working with PP CS5 on Windows 7
    I need to trim some small pieces (5 -10 seconds) out of many of the .MTS files to send to someone using After Effects MAC and FC Pro
    In trying to keep the highest HD resolution of 1920 x 1080, the number of choices to select when creating a new sequence and then when exporting from PP is confusing.
    Note: I notice that 2 clips I have in my PP project bin at the same time have different frame rates which I believe that 1 each came from my different cameras:
    file 1) 29.97fps 48000hz compressed stereo
    file 2) 59.94fps 48000hz compressed 5.1
    Can anyone guide me here on sequence and export settings & codecs to maintain the HD resolution and least loss of quality on export?
    Will the 2 different frame rates prior to export cause any issues? I'm assuming PP will re-interpret for output.
    Thanks

    > I understand the files are not compressed.
    You misunderstand. The files are compressed. But they're compressed without losing any information. Losslessly compressed movies are a lot smaller than uncompressed movies---but they're still bigger than movies compressed with a lossy codec that would be more suitable for final delivery and distribution.
    > How long are the movies your associate sends you and approx what do file sizes look like?
    I tend to work on individual clips that are from several seconds to a few minutes long. They're usually a small number of GB each. Don't fret about large file sizes for intermediate files. Making movies small matters when you're streaming them for final delivery, not when you're handing over a hard disk or using an FTP server to exchange files for post-production work.

  • After effects CC export to premiere pro CC: audio doesn't match

    Hello!
    I am making an animation serie for Belgian TV. They need me to export  only my audio from premiere (I make the animations in after effects).
    They need OMF format.
    When I export from after effects CC > Premiere pro project (only to export my audio to OMF from here) the audio doesn't match.
    Adobe media encoder doesn' support OMF unfortunately.
    Example; if I stretch the audio time in after effects, premiere doesn't.
    I am really stressing out and any help would be very welcome
    Thank you!
    Ellen

    Hello Jim
    Thanks for the reply!
    When I import my after effects composition into premiere, it is perfectly visible and the audio is correct.
    But now it is suddenly impossible to select > export > OMF
    Do you know why this is?
    Thanks!

  • Why will After Effects not export to Media Encoder?

    After Effects cannot export to Media Encoder. I've tried to queue it within After Effects (nothing happens,) I've tried to import it from within Media Encoder (it hangs on a loading dialogue forever,) and I've tried restarting my computer. All to no avail. I've also tried multiple AE projects. And yes, I've made sure I am viewing the queue in Media Encoder. Any clues?

    Ok.
    Running Adobe Creative Cloud, latest versions on both After Effects and Media Encoder. As for render settings, I never get to that part. When I export to render in Media Encoder, nothing happens. Here are the settings for one of the compositions and projects I was trying to export:

  • After Effects "fixed" export path

    Is it possible to set a "fixed" export path and file type for a composition?
    I know I can link After Effects in Premiere, but I don't like this, since all rendering gets lost at once if one tiny thing is changed in AE.
    Therefore I export JPEG-Sequeces from After Effects, which i import into premiere.
    Now If I change something in AE I would like to press a single button to replace the JPEG sequence, withoot reassinging an export path and filename every time. Can also have advantages if i only change something between frame 1 and 50 in a 1000 frames long animation. So I could udate it with the press of a single button.
    In blender for example I can define fixed output folders and files. Every time I press render, the files are overwritten or the missing images are filled up. Any way to do this in AE (filling up the files is not needed).
    Thank you!

  • Particle Playground, dimensions of After Effects video export

    In attempting to export a project from After Effects, I end up with video with dimensions that are too small and won't fill up the screen in my Final Cut video; regardless of the resolution, cannon, etc that I set, I can't get the export to overlay in Final Cut Pro at the correct resolution, 1080i. I've been searching for a solution on the web, but cannot find an answer.
    Where would I find the setting in After Effects to increase the dimensions of the video? Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks in advance!
    ~C

    You are exporting at 1920x1080 and it doesn't fit?

  • Premiere Bad Export vs. After Effects Clean Export

    I encountered this problem many years ago, but since it accours in every version of Premire Pro it's time to find a solution.
    Mainly what bothers me is that every video I export out of Premire CS4 isn't as clean as if I would export it out of After Effects.
    I had two situations:
    1. I made one animation in After Effects, exported the video in the loosles format to see how it looks and the video looked great and very clean.
    Than I imported the after effects composition via dynamic link into Premiere CS4 and put some music underneath. Than I exported the video out of Premiere CS4 with the Media Encoder into some HQ versions like Pal DV, .mov, .h264, Targa sequences...and the video just wasn't as clean as the one exported directly from After Effects.
    What is wrong? Is there a Premire encoder bug? I had this problem also with earlier version of Premiere.
    2. I shot a film in HDV for a company. I edited the material in Premiere CS4 and since I exported it for 4:3 I scaled the video down. So there were more than enought pixels to make the image clean. But after exporting it out of Premiere CS4 the PAL DV image quality just wasn't clean.
    I imported than the entire Premiere sequence into After Effects and exported the video from there and I got a great and clean looking PAL DV video.
    Again. Is there a bug in Premiere encoder?
    I like Premiere but since I can not get a nice image quality out of it I'm planing to go over to FinalCut Pro.
    Does any one have a solution for that problem?
    Thank you very much
    Agetis

    Thanks Jim and Harm!
    Jim, I exported the animation in the 1. scenario as a progressive video. There was no interlacing and I still got bad results with Premiere.
    Harm, I gathered for you fresh uncompressed image exports from Premiere and After Effects.
    Sample 1 - Uncompressed Tiff from Premiere CS4
    Sample 2 - Uncompressed Tiff from After Effects CS4
    I don't think Encore has anything to do with this problem. Because the DVD (.m2v files) wasn't transcoded with Encore but with Premire and AE.
    Anyway here are the DVD settings:
    1. Premiere settings for the DVD:
    MPEG2-DVD
    PAL High Quality
    Video Settings:
    Quality: 5
    Tv Standard: PAL
    Frame W: 720
    Frame H: 576
    FPS: 25
    Fields: Lower
    Pixel: 4:3 (1.09)
    CBR: 8 MB
    2. After Effects settings for the DVD:
    Are exactly the same as Premieres. Fields are also Lower.
    The video in AE was exported via Render Queue.
    I still don't think that this is a issue of codecs. From my point of view it's still more likely that Premiere has an export bug.
    Please try it out and let me know.
    Thanks

  • How do I export a video from After Effects CC to an iPhone? I'm using a PC.

    How do I export a video from After Effects CC to an iPhone? I'm using a PC.

    Short answer, there is no simple "export to iPhone", but if you just want to have a movie that you can watch on you iPhone, just send yourself an attachment via email (other than .avi) and save it to your phone.
    You can also use dropbox as an option.
    With an app, you could mount your iPhone as an external drive. (check out iExplorer)
    Also: check AME for h264 variations before you send it to yourself.  There are presets for iPhone compression.

  • Since upgrading the IOS 8 on my IPad 2 I can longer get a full screen on my TV when connected with an HDMI cable. anything I should change in my settings? Right now my iPad is mirrored on the TV with a black box all around the edge

    I have reached the same conclusion in the mean time. I have done a bit of investgation in to other grahics cards and am seeing some that show SPDIF connections from the card to the mother board. I was not familar with SPDIF but it did a little bit of sluething. It is of course a digitally enconded voice. I am guessing that in that case the mother board ( assuming it supports this hardware option) would use this output and be able to translate that digital audio to its other audio outputs. That is a lot of guessing of course. I think my "solution" might  be a whole new desktop - a rather drastic course of action! I was in the proceess of getting ready to upgrade this machine anyway with a new graphics card (which I will now return), go to Win 7, and maybe even a new digital TV reciever,  and I don't want to throw good money after bad anyway.
    Thanks for your comments
