1. Re: Blurry shatter in render issue
Mylenium Dec 17, 2013 1:07 AM (in response to Richea)Well, you are using H.264/ MP4, which is a destructive compression and your settings appear to use very low data rates to begin with. That and of course that such noisy images will always be problematic with that kind of compression even with best settings. You can try to experiment with different settings, but if you stick with H.264 or any otehr compressed format, you will always have this issue one way or the other...

2. Re: Blurry shatter in render issue
Richea Dec 17, 2013 1:20 AM (in response to Mylenium)I rendered MOV files with the 'Animation' setting which netted me in a 2.44GB file for this 10 second intro and it was still blurry. Have you got any suggestions?

Rick Gerard Dec 17, 2013 6:22 AM (in response to Richea)Show us your render and output module settings, or you use the Adobe media encoder?

6. Re: Blurry shatter in render issue
Rick Gerard Dec 17, 2013 6:51 AM (in response to Richea)The output module setting you show uses H.264. I would never use H.264 from the Output Module because it cannot do multi pass compression. The data rate also pitiful which explains your first screenshot.
I'm also confused about the 60 frames per second. That's not suitable for delivery in any standard media.
The blurriness must come from a composition setting somewhere. Without knowing more about your composition it's hard to say. I have ever seen this problem.

Rick Gerard Dec 17, 2013 7:35 AM (in response to Richea)YouTube and Vimeo will automatically recalculate your frame rate to a maximum of 29.97. That is the maximum standard frame rate for video playback.

That doesn't look like blurriness to me; I think it looks a bit like compression artifacts. Try rendering as a Quicktime using the PNG codec.

Richea Dec 17, 2013 5:12 PM (in response to Szalam)Hey, I have done so and the blurriness is gone but the file size is a whopping 622 megabytes for a 10 second clip and it seems to be playing back at 10-20fps at most. Is there a way of fixing that?

12. Re: Blurry shatter in render issue
Rick Gerard Dec 17, 2013 6:37 PM (in response to Richea)Drag your clip or your AE project into the Adobe Media Encoder and then choose h.264 and the output type and use the Vimeo or YouTube preset for HD. That will give you multi pass compression and a data rate that should solve all of your problems.
If you recall from my first post "The output module setting you show uses H.264. I would never use H.264 from the Output Module because it cannot do multi pass compression. The data rate also pitiful which explains your first screenshot."
Mylenium also nailed it in his first response where he noticed the MP4 and low data rate. The AME will solve your problem.

Richea Dec 17, 2013 7:17 PM (in response to Rick Gerard)I don't have the media encoder. I'm on CS6 with everything and it appears it's only available with CC. :/

Todd_Kopriva Dec 17, 2013 7:24 PM (in response to Richea)Adobe Media Encoder is installed with After Effects CS6. It is installed with every version of After Effects since CS3.
