[damu.vfx]

Hello everyone,

i am using 3ds max design 2011 for making architectural walk through s,i usually render the frame at 740*576 size(300 dpi)and save as tiff sequence.then i will make avi file in after effects(with out any compression). After that when i play the whole movie,the movie will not go smoothly its getting jerks.what the wrong i am doing.i tried with 15 frames per sec and 30 frames per sec.

Any help will great to me.thanks in advance

According to your decription, you´re playing the raw .avi (no compression). When you render with no compression (full frame), you´re keeping the whole information from your scene, whether you need it or not. It´s pretty easy to get a file with gigabytes of information which is pretty heavy to play through. I´d guess that´s nothing wrong with your machine. It´s just too much to play at one time. I´d suggest you render out of AE a .mp4 which is very nice and compresses a great deal. Hope it helps. Good luck.

Export from QT pro. You'll have a .mov file which is fairly universal, plays wll in QT and WMP and has small filesize.

Thanks nelpiper,

Your suggestion saved me from the situation,now movie playing smothly in mp4 format.

 

I would like to know one more thing that which codec(for Compression) was best when we render .avi file in After Effects.

AE is a compositing software, it hasn´t been designed with compression in mind, although it delivers "ok" results. The actual workflow for a professional delivery that I use is this:

- render your scene out to an image sequence (for best results use 16 or 32bit float .exr);

- take it to your favorite compositing software and do any post production it needs;

- render a uncompressed .avi (full frames);

- take it to a compression software.

I´d recommend you to take a peek a sorenson squeeze, which only does compression and does it very well.

Hope it helps. Good luck.
