Mario Pende Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Helo! I rendered from Lightscape pgn. frames. Now when I import pgn. as sequence and then drop them in composition I have option to render pgn. out to various video formats like avi., wich I want. When I add job to renderQueue and then render out to avi. format I get file thats 1GB large with fps around 15 when I playback (you dont get smooth video)! Help! p.s.the farme rate in LS and AE are the same 30fps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manta Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 is it playing back at 15fps or is it set to do that, with a file that large it might be doing its best which might be 15fps, aren't you using any compression... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Pende Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 After it rendered in AE to an avi. output format, I select the output file nd hit paly in winamp, and then I see video and fps hats 15 No, I didnt use any compression... I got the answer lll lose quality?! Your recomendation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinsmith Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 If you render to an uncomressed AVI then your system is likely not fast enough to play it back at the full frame rate, the bitrate just ends u being too high for reading from the harddrive in realtime. You may still want to render to that uncomressed AVI to have as a full quality clip for editing, it depends on what workflow you are using and what your final output is to be. To watch good quality video in realtime with no major compression issues you could try DV video compression, PAL or NTSC (NTSC if you are really working on a 30fps project) Chances are that will be good enough for a fianl edit too, although it may not stand up to further post / compositing work as well as the uncompressed AVI would have.

Mario Pende Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 You mean Microsofts DV codec? All I want is to merge my pgn. files in AdobeAE add my name (like watermark) and output animation for presenting it to my client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Pende Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 What abouth MS-MPEG4 V2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Pende Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 Well I tride it in MS-MPEG 4 the file size is reduced to 2,5Mb but the qualty isnt realy something...:-( Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manta Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 compress to WMV (windows media video) and also to quicktime (MOV) use sorenson 3 for quicktime, burn both files to a DVD and let them choose which one they want to look at... The H.264 codec for quicktime is probably better than the sorenson 3, but unless they have the newest quicktime player it won't play, where as the sorenson will play on any quicktime player...

Mario Pende Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 I also heard abouth AdobePremiere. Can it also import stills as sequence and work on them like in AE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnold Gallardo Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I would convert them to serial .tga's and use VirtualDub: http://www.virtualdub.org/ No sure if VirtualDub can use pgn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Pende Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 I think its too late for that, the images are rendered as png. convetring them to tga. is pointless. Yeap, you can import png. to VD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manta Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I also heard abouth AdobePremiere. Can it also import stills as sequence and work on them like in AE? Yes it can its for video editing (piecing together lots of small clips into one large video) If you already have after fx, it'll be perfectly capable for doing what you want...
