    Hello & Help!

    that’s it!

    Export to Media encoder, as recommended, to render the movie for Facebook.
    Background set in Composition Settings as RED. Comes out BLACK!

    AE Composition Settings:
    HDV/HDTV 720
    1280 X 720
    Sq Pixels

    Media Encoder… I have no idea what the settings are or should be.
    The preset browser: Facebook is greyed out.

    Thanks so much!

    Hi Kris, you need to add a red solid as the background. The red in the composition settings is only for preview, it won’t show up in the render.
