  • expressions (or converted expressions to keyframes) NOT rendered in final export

    Posted by Dikkie Dik on May 26, 2013 at 12:18 am

    hi!

    i just followed this simple tutorial to create a disco ball effect:
    https://www.ehow.com/video_12247414_to-background-disco-ball-after-effects.html

    all looks good when i scrub and preview the render,
    the final render though doesn’t render the expression in the lights layer itself
    (>grid > [time*300, time*-300]. the lights don’t move!

    i tried converting the expressions to keyframes, but even converted the final render doesn’t take the movement in account.

    i cannot figure out what is wrong.
    anyone have a clue?
    thanks so much

    AE6, OSX10.6.8, 12 Core mac tower, 12 gig ram

    [time*300, time*-300]

    Just shooting in the dark here, but the Anchor property of the Grid effect will max out at 655354+ so if the comp time gets to be greater than 2 minutes and 38 seconds or so, it will just stop.

    hey Dan!

    thanks so much. you were right. nice ‘shot in the dark’. saved me a lot of trouble!
    i’m still wrapping my head around quite basic stuff with after effects, and would not have found this on my own!

    grt..
