Composition Duration is shortened after importing??
Hi all,
I’m after rendering a composition from Maya into AE. The duration of these are supposed to be 10 seconds long, but when I bring them into AE they are shortened by nearly half and I can’t figure out why. Everything is fine in Maya, they play back for the 10 seconds, but when I look at timeline in AE I can’t get it to play past 125 frames (it’s supposed to be 240 at 24fps).
My composition settings in AE all check out, 24fps, in at 00000 out at 00240?

Your composition settings don’t matter for this — the footage interpretation does. Right-click the footage item, choose “Interpret footage” from the context menu, and make sure that its frame rate is appropriately set.

Thanks for the quick reply! These are .psd image layers I’m using, would that matter?

Interesting….I’m looking at the footage stats in the top left when I click on the image layer, and it says (triangle symbol, frames?) 132 @ 24fps…..it can’t be exporting properly from Maya…

Yea I even tried extending my Maya sequence to 480 frames in the hopes of tricking it and giving me half ha.
I’ve tried It upwards of a dozen times and it generally comes out as 240 .if’s which I then import….currently doing another render so I’ll see how many that gives and report back!

Everything’s 24fps all round 🙁
I can even render what’s called a Playblast in Maya, a preview render and it’s 10 seconds long.
Thanks, its hard to get a response in the Maya forum! -
Have you confirmed you have 240 stills in your Maya output folder?

Have you tried eliminating AE as the culprit by opening the sequence in a different player, like QT or Scratch?

OK, I SEEM to have gotten it working now!
Through some more playing around with the Batch Render settings in Maya(I turned off auto thread memory and some other things I’m not even sure what does) it appears to have rendered all 240 frames!
Thanks for the help everyone, persistence is key!
