compiling a batch render into a video

[Jeremy2112]

I have a stack of Maya renders I need to compile into a video, but having trouble figuring out exactly how. They are rendered as Maya .iff format, so maybe they aren't supported?

See "Supported import formats" (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AfterEffects/9.0/WSB108BC99-A69B-46c4-86D3-2192805C2AF8a.html) for a list of formats that you can import. IFF is on that list.

I'm not sure exactly what problem you're having, so I don't know where to start in helping you.

I recommend that you start by reading the sections in After Effects Help about importing and using files from 3D applications (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AfterEffects/9.0/WS3878526689cb91655866c1103906c6dea-7f29a.html).

Ok, Iv got it compiled as targas, 1920 x 1020. Now when I try to export as a .mov I get an out of memory error.( I have 4 gigs on the machine) I tried both AVI and MPEG 4, and while it will export, it looks worse than a youtube clip. What I need to do is export it as a full quality, full screen video.

1. Clearly describe the main problem in the topic, but be brief. Not so brief as to only say: "Help!" or "URGENT" or another meaningless statement but get to the point, like: "PP crashes on opening, requiring a reboot" or "Using DL the system hangs upon return to PP". You get the point.

2. Briefly describe your hardware, software, OS and versions in use, including disk setup, video card and driver versions, etc.

3. Describe source material, including codec (not AVI, which is not a codec), project settings and other relevant info.

4. Describe as accurately as possible what you did, what steps you took, what happened at what moment and what you did to try to resolve it.
