Re: Why do my nested compositions have worse video quality each nested layer I add?

True. Screen recordings taken in Camtasia - not my favorite, but its what I've got to work with. Hold on and I'll go through the whole FAQ list.

 

Alrighty -

  • AE version stated in post
  • It was updated recently - but I don't have the admin creds I need to run updates as frequently as I like. I'm waiting on an IT ticket to run my current updates.
  • Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10.1
  • No error message
  • This has been ongoing since I started trying to solve my script/video timing by pulling my main comp into additional comps. Created new comp from main workspace comp, copied the comp layer, turned off video for one and audio for the other so I could work with them separately. Split and time remapped video layer to synch it up the way I wanted. no other changes made I think.. gonna go double check that in a moment though.
  • I've never nested comps this way before - this is the longest most complex vid I've had to make in AE, and I've never felt the necessity in the past. My videos have always looked sharp before this one though.
  • Quad core 2.7 GHz Intel i5 processor, 4 gigs ram (holding out for more, I know its not ideal, but I'm sure its unrelated to this issue...right?)  AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB - no external drives or extra monitors
  • CUDA 6.5 drivers
  • no third party hardware - mac out of the box
  • Source footage as stated - h264 mpeg-4 recorded in Camtasia2
  • Quicktime 10.4 - im not recording with it because it doesn't have cursor removing capabilities
  • Audio recorded with audacity, not much else going on besides stock programs & OpenOffice.
  • no third party effects
  • I am using open GL features .. I think
  • Problem in both ram preview and final rendered output
  • Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously is off
  • I don't think I'm using the ray traced 3d renderer... I only have 2 layers in the whole project that have 3d turned on for a simple camera zoom in/out.
  • Problem is not with output
