exporting BIG (pixel) COMPOSITION files
hi,
i made a composition of 1’s and 0’s in a custom setting of 2600/1950 pixels. i did some tricks – precomposed some stuff – but at the end of the road is to heavy to render at ease. so i was wondering if there is a way to export this Large custom file at some point down the road. to import it again and use it as an image or a tiff sequence or something – it’s not neccesary that it’s an avi file – tiff sequence is also okay – but i can’t find how to do it … ae says that my composition is to big … and when i wanted to export a tiff sequence it just crashed. so – is AE made only to export in 720 576 comp?

i found a way to export single frames of the composition – psd files – is this the only way to export a big file? no sequences possible?
tnx

No … I render sequences all the time. Do you have enough space on your hard drive?
You should be able to render (use Composition>Make Movie and change the settings in the Output Module) to TIFF sequences, JPEG sequences, TGA sequences, PSD sequences, etc. in any size up to 30,000 x 30,000 pixels, if I recall correctly.

ok it works – don’t know what went wrong in my previous attempts cause i think i tried them all – and they all crashed. i exported now as TARGA – my composition has a luma matte – so i can see through the layer. what is the best format and way to export this file to keep the matte? – what i did was export as Targa, 24 bits, channel RGB + ALPHA … but when i put this sequnece in a new composition and put a solid underneath it doesn’t show my solid. should i export only RGB ? – i thought rgb + alpha was the right way to do it?
thanks for the help!

You’ll need targa 32-bit to keep your alpha intact. 24-bit will only be your RGB channels and 32-bit will be RGB+Alpha.
