  Importing 3D renders AE CS3 Pro

  Posted by Stuart Fellows on August 6, 2007 at 4:49 pm

  I’m trying to import 3D renders into AE. I’ve tried both RLA and PICT file format. I’m getting an error message that the PICT is too complex to be opened and only raster PICT’s are supported on this platform.

  TIA

  Okay , finally got the import working. My 3D program was disabling certain things in the final render that I’m guessing AE wanted.

  Sorry
