  pre-comping issue

  Posted by Simon Edwards on April 11, 2009 at 9:34 pm

  Hi guys,

  Wondered if anyone can help me with a problem I’ve encountered while pre-comping.

  I created some characters then animated them and rendered it off. I then pre-comped these onto a background in after effects and this worked fine. I rendered a test off (the first link) and it looked ok so I carried on but then on my next render (second link) the characters stopped moving and just glide. when I open the project in after effects sometimes the characters move for a couple of frames then all just glide again. I have no idea why this is happening, the project and the pre comps all have the same frame rate.

  I’m controlling the movement of the characters by using two seperate pictures which i put one at 100% opacity and the other at 0% then on the next frame swapped them around. I then rendered this off and put it over the background in a new comp and looped the footage then changed the scale and position to try and make it look like the are moving throughout the picture
