  3D text layer orientation is different on render

  Posted by Daniel Christie on April 5, 2007 at 12:02 pm

  Hi,

  I’ve animated a text layer that is set to 3D, but when I render, the layer is scewed differently to how I have animated. Preview and RAM preview are fine though. I have tried rendering with/without OpenGL. Any thaughts?

  Thanks,

  Daniel

  Are you previewing the Active Camera or a custom view?

  Yep, AE only renders the active camera, not the custom views.

  It’s also good practice to actually create a camera and use it.

  Yeah, sounds like you’re looking/RAM previewing a different view than you are sending to render. Sounds like you also just learned a pretty valuable lesson, yesno?

  Thanks a heap. I knew it had to be something simple. I was using the front custom view instead of active camera.

  Thanks,

  Daniel
