Hi folks,
we updated to CC 2014.2 last week and are now stuck without fields - and as a broadcaster broadcasting 1080i we desperately need interlaced files!
Here´s the detail:
For a quick demonstation I created a simple AE project (CS6) with a blue bar rotating around the center.
This same composition is opened in AME CS6 and in AME 2014.2 and rendered with the identical settings:
This is the result from AME CS6:
This is the result from AME CC 2014.2
During the last week we tried everything to convince AME 2014.2 to render in fields - but we didn´t succeed...
The only workaround is:
- open the AE composition in PremierePro
- interpret it as "upper field"
- place it into a sequence
- send this sequence to AME
Then AME renders it interlaced...
Please note
- I´m not talking about interlaced or progressive videomaterial but about the field handling of AE animations itself in AME
- under "Quelle/Source" it says "progressive", but you can´t change the interpretation on a AE composition
- in AME CS6 it says "progressive" as well but renders out fields
- we tried this with several different projects and compositions on different computers (PC and Mac)
- scary: identical sources with identical render settings produce different files in AME CS6 vs. AME 2014.2
- it´s not just the field/progressive thing - mp4 files from AME 2014.2 are half size than from AME CS6
Thanks for your help - we really need our fields back... ;-)
