onyx Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I render my animations as a targa sequence from Max then imort the frames into after effects to compile then and render them out uncompressed. The files are huge, but it looks perfect. The problem seems to occur when i bring the movies into Premier Pro cs3 to compile and edit animations.. No matter what settings i use when the camera turns "quickly" the frames get a bit blurry.. At first i figured it was the compression but even if i render out a fully uncompressed avi from premier, it still happens. I dunno what do to but it sux o spend all that time rendering just to have it look undesirable at points. The general settings ive been using for premiere media encoder is H.264,high profile,5.1 and i crank the bitrate all the way up. Theres a loss in the overall quality but its the blurryness i dont like. Is there some setting i dont know about in premier that can reduce or eliminate that? Or is it something that needs to be deal with in Max? Here's a link to one of the videos here the problem happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fooch Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 dont touch avi's. not a great container to rework things generally Export to lossless quicktime mov (codec : animation , no compression) Adobe media encoder is ok but it does fail on certain aspects. Use quicktime pro to re-export. For HD films, Set kbps limit to say 6K - 8,500 (anything heavier would be sluggish to run) Keyframes to be btwn 5 - 50 (for vector graphics, you would need more info btwn frames. As for film stuff, go high. yours doesnt seem really sharp transition wise, so you can stick to say 25-50) Max on quality and oh keep the fps to be the same as your original render (PAL : 25, NTSC 29.97 or 30--> some firms do it differently) To keep it simple, compress your audio to AAC as well.

Scott Schroeder Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Also make sure frame motion blur isn't on by default in premier. If it's like after effects, it's a button that has one sphere and a trail of 3 spheres behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onyx Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) Awesome thanks! Ok so just to make sure i have this clear, export from after effects with the quicktime animation codec then, take my files into Quicktime pro for further editing and for exporting the final movie file? Or did you mean use the quicktime export type from Adobe media encoder? Edited February 10, 2013 by onyx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
