Hi, Im just wondering if anyone can help me. Im using Maya to create 3D animations & compositing them into live video, a'la Roger Rabbit. Im exporting from Maya as a targa sequence & compositing/re-exporting from A. Effects with the live action video using the Maya alpha channel, & finally editing in Premiere. The problem is that after exporting from A.E. my Maya animation looks really jagged/plays jerkily, even tho the background live action video plays just fine, now Im guessing that the A.E. AVI compression settings are responsable, but I've tried them ALL!..I also tried Videomach (recommended by the free Simply Maya "RENDER GLOBALS" tutorial) but the results were VERY similar, is it some kind of plug-in codec I need?...Whats the best combination of A.E./Videomach/Premiere codecs to use for this sort of thing?...PLEASE HELP!!!... Im getting nightmares about Nurbs stealing my underwear!!!....Thanks in advance....J :headbang:
