  Camera movement not rendering

  Posted by Chaz Sutherland on March 25, 2012 at 3:09 pm

  Hello,
  I have a project where the basic premise is to have a still photo dissolve into a video back-plate of picture on a wall. Here’s what I did:
  –Added a camera to my scene.
  –Dropped in an image and pushed it away in Z, then scaled it to fill the screen.
  –Dropped in a video back-plate. This video has a practical camera pulling back on a dolly, so…
  –I pushed the AE camera forward to get a close up of the still image.
  –Moved the AE camera backward to match the one in the principal photography.
  –Adjusted the opacity to dissolve between the two plates.
  –Added some particles [Trapcode Form] for some parallaxing.

  Everything looks great when I scrub my timeline, but the problem is when I go to render. The AE camera doesn’t move at all. The still image does dissolve to the video bac-kplate but that’s it. None of the parallax is happening. Does anybody know what’s happening?
  I would gladly post a video but my client doesn’t want it exposed yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  Thanks,
  –Chaz
