another animation question

[jdomingo]

Hi,

Ok now that i've finish rendering the animation scene and after i try compositing them in some video editing software and save to avi format or even mpeg format, why am i getting a not so sharp video the same as the render scene?
my camera is pal (custom to 720 x 450) and i use the same resolution output to mpeg and avi but it is not as sharp as the raw render.
is there any way to create it same as what the render is? sorry i cant show the file in here, its under strict confidentiallity, thanks for your help.

Hmm did you use some filters on your animation? Did you check your output settings that you are not using too much compression?

If you load in PS a single image from the animation does the frame look good? If it does in your video editor your field order maybe off. Choices are lower, upper and progressive scan. If that does not match how you rendered it can also make your video look bad. Just a guess.

thanks for the reply guys,
@Jure, do you mean the codec thing? i used the full compression on the render output option. where do i download other codec?

@vpii, what do you mean about the field order?

yes , just a long shot guess.
