  Stars not twinkling :( – Problem with track matte render

  Posted by Mike Hayes on September 1, 2009 at 3:16 am

  Hi

  I simply have a dark background with some stars as a still.

  I set a solid colour above, effected with Fractal Noise and animated the evolution.

  After applying a luminance matte to the sky image, I can scroll through my timeline and see the twinkling star look, however, it doesn’t carry through to render.

  Why is this happening ??

  Thanks Mike

  No that’s not it.

  I scrub through the timeline and I can see it occur. But on output there’s nothing. I can even scrub the output mov and still nothing.

  something else ?

  There it is!

  OpenGL, what a problem.

  Fo anyone who stumbles across this problem, turn OpenGL off in:
  Preferences->Preview.

  Thanks mate
