after effects marking on video footage

[lee1320907]

Hello to all,

I have a display problem in after effects (and encoder).
When I import some footage in my project (here a .mov), I have a kind of marking that appears on the video and that also appears in the rendering, which says "after effects jpeg" or "adobe media encoder jpeg" with an arrow with a clock in it.

I probably made a wrong manipulation, but I can't find the solution...
If anyone can help me,
thank you very much ! 🙂

Here are the screenshots of the overlays that appear in the video.

That's not an official Adobe placeholder overlay, at least as far as I know, so it may be a watermark on your imported footage, some effect or even a third-party CoDec on your system that isn't properly licensed. Hard to tell with so little info. Screenshots of the actual AE interface and AME settings panel might help to clarify along with all the usual things like system info or some details about your project.

Hi Mylenium,

Thanks for the quick answer.

This watermark not appears on all the video footage type. Apparently, there's an issue with .mov (7vyu encoding). (see the joined file)

I can't find anything on this type of encoding but I will try to dig also the third-party CoDec.

I use After Effects CC2019 on a PC (Windows 10 pro / i7-6800K CPU @3.40Ghz / 32Go RAM / nvidia GeForce GTX 1070)

Project is 4096 x 2048px / 50fps / 5min

Thanks !

Hi lee1320907,

Thanks for sharing the details.

Looks like the water mark is baked in into the footage you imported. It is visible in the Project panel at the top. Could you try opening the footage in a media player and see if the watermark is visible?

Let us know.

Thanks,

Nishu

Hi Nishu,

Thank you for your interest,

I bought the footage on Envato Elements and there's no problem when I opened it with Quicktime or VLC.

Yes it's look like it is baked in into the footage but it's not, when I import the footage in AE, it says "After effects jpeg", when it's in AME, it says "Adobe Media Encoder Jpeg".

I noticed that the footages I have issue with are all .mov (7vyu encoding) - Some of my colleague opened them on their after effects and they don't have this watermark appearing in the video, that's why I wonder if it's not a preference from AE I cliked by inadvertance or a third-party CoDec that messed up with AE ?

As I said in my first reply, this is likely a CoDec issue. 7vyu sounds like one of those bastardized, out-of spec MPEG derivatives introduced by alternate media players, action camera tools and screen recording software. At least I'm not familiar with this particular CoDec short identifier. Ergo in order to solve your problem you would have to install whatever software introduced this CoDec. It's weird, though, that Envato don't provide any exact info on this. If it works on a friends system, try and figure out what pieces of software he has that you haven't. Perhaps you can figure it out. Providing a snippet of the footage might also allow us to have a look at it.

Yes, thanks Mylenium,

I installed a few weeks ago MediaReactor Workstation (that's the only "codecs"programme I install lately), for now I will try to uninstall it and see from there.

Thank you !
