Exporting Troubles
Hi,
I searched this and other sites for a while before posting. I apologize if I overlooked the answer.
I have an After Effects project that is essentially a Power Point project. It’s a slide show of images with a voice over and AE text animations over the images. The project is roughly 2 minutes in length.
However, when I export the video it only exports a still image that “lasts” for 1 second. I’ve tried exporting to Quicktime, MPEG, AVI, and Premiere (Premiere worked, but it wouldn’t transfer the text animations).
When I went to export the project, I added the Comp to the Render Queue, the file sizes looked appropriate, but it rendered really fast (1-5 seconds) (I’m new to AE, I previously used Final Cut which renders unbelievably slow, so I don’t know if AE is just faster, or if this may be where my problem is) Anyway, when I hit export it similarly exports ultra fast (<1 second), and then just have a useless freeze frame.
Where am I going wrong?
Thanks,
DanP.S.
Sorry to be so wordy, I just wanted to share the info I thought may be helpful. -

do not use Export.
Render the movie, then export the movie if you must change formats.
sorry, missed a bunch of the original post, wrong answer, but I cannot delete the postbogiesan
This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

The only thing I can think of right now, is that your render settings may be set to output only the work area and not the entire length of your comp.
I’ve got my AE open and will hunt around to see if it might be something else.
Good luck,
Bob
p.s. – please reply if it’s not a work area issue…..thx

I think it most have been a processor problem. I opened the file on a different computer today and it exported well.
Thanks for your help.
