User Guide
Crop Used to trim or add pixels to the edges of the rendered movie. You can specify the
number of pixels to be added or subtracted from the top, left, bottom, and right sides of
the movie. Type positive values to crop, and type negative values to add pixels.
Note: By adding one pixel to the top of a rendered movie with field rendering, you can change
the field-rendering order. See “Making a movie smaller than the rendered composition” on
page 384.
Audio Output Specifies the sample rate, sample depth (8 Bit or 16 Bit), and playback
format (Mono or Stereo). Choose a sample rate that corresponds to the capability of the
output format. Choose an 8-bit sample depth for playback on the computer, and a 16-bit
sample depth for compact disc and digital audio playback or for hardware that supports
16-bit playback.
Introducing 3:2 pulldown
If you are creating output for film that’s been transferred to video or if you want to
simulate a film look for animation, use 3:2 pulldown. Footage items that were originally
film transferred to video and had 3:2 pulldown removed when imported into After Effects
can be rendered back to video with 3:2 pulldown reintroduced. You can set the intro-
duction of 3:2 pulldown using any of five different phases. For more information on 3:2
pulldown, see “Removing 3:2 pulldown from video transferred from film” on page 87.
Note: It is important to match the phase of a segment that had 3:2 pulldown removed if it will
be edited back into the video footage it came from.
To introduce 3:2 pulldown:
1 In the Render Queue window, select the render item and then click the underlined
Render Settings name.
2 For Field Render, choose a field order.
3 For 3:2 Pulldown, select a phase.
4 Select other settings as appropriate, and then render.
