  • AE exporting composition as shorter clips??

    Posted by Ellen Donnelly on July 25, 2018 at 4:34 pm

    My AE comp is mysteriously exporting as 3 shorter .mov files.
    In Maxon C4D I’ve exported a 32 second animation as PNGs. Imported into AE as a PNG sequence and created new comp from that import. It previews fine. My work comp is set to 32 seconds. I forget what the two bars at the top of the timeline are called but they are both set to the full length. Have tried changing both the composition frame rate and the export frame rate to 29FPS and 30FPS, but I always end up with 3 separate .mov files of 14 seconds, 14 seconds, and 5 seconds, respectively.
    It’s not that big of a deal because I can just edit them together, but I’m very confused.

    The “two bars” at the top are the WORK AREA.

    It sounds like in your OUTPUT MODULE you are set to segment files at a certain file size. Turn that off.

    Maybe expand your Render Queue settings & post a screen shot. Might be something there your missing.
