  Empty result when exporting!?

  Posted by Karla Grus on November 6, 2013 at 12:48 am

  Hey, everyone!

  I’m super new and started using AE just a couple of hours ago.

  I made a very simple project with circels and dots spinning around, I’m happy with the result BUT when I export and then add it to my Resolume Arena composition the SWF-file is totall black/empty.

  I searched around and even checked on youtube, followed there way of exporting the file, still nothing. When I exportet a FLV-file (video?) and opened with VLC it was all perfect.

  Happy for all comments, thanks in advance!

  First, why are you exporting to SWF? That is almost always a bad idea from After Effects.

  That said, you probably have the Unsupported Features setting set to Ignore. See this page for information about that:

  I strongly recommend that you start here to learn After Effects:

  Resolume (VJ-software) supports SWF-files and they usually work fast and smoother so the computer doesn’t lagg when visualizing. I’m not sure but I believe that many visual clips/loops are made in After Effects(?)

  So basically rasterize means to “remove all the features that SWF doesn’t support”? I did try to export out both with “ignore” and “rasterize” none of them worked. I also checkd of all the boxes in the exporting option (audio, continuos-loop etc.) Also turned of blurring the only ‘effect’ I have.

  Thanks for the Getting started guide!
