Post by zjjt »

how to fix this ?if i cant render the scene as it is can i render in two seperate videos i mean one for the characters with a transparent background and one for the background? If yes how do i make video background transparent for composition? here's a screenshot of my AS project

my project uses z depth and large png images.

Normally i should get this quality as in the render window

That's compression artefacts from a bad choice of codec. Use h.264 with a quality setting of at least 75%, the result should be much better. Also Youtube likes certain dimensions best, use 1280 x 720 or 1920 x 1080px, 24, 25 or 30 fps.

i think i figured it out i was using the 64bit version of the software in which theres no quicktime export which lets you choose between export format like h264 or whatever...i switched obviously to the 32bit version that seems to fix the problem for now

Hey guys. I found this topic and i have a problem with exporting animation too.
I use 64 bit Anime studio pro 11. I imported art from a .psd file, animated it, and when exported there were some trails and glitches on one place only. It's just a small trail, that image leaves behind after it moves and a part of it dissapears for a while. The trail dissapears soon, but it can be seen and it looks bad. Here is screenshot:

The animation was exported in mp4 format. I don't want to export .avi file, because it would be too big.
I hope you guys can help me. Take care.
