    Hiding a layer from rendering..

    Posted by Kelly Johnson on September 21, 2007 at 12:33 pm

    Is there a way (BESIDES DELETING THE LAYER) to exclude a layer from a final render? Sort of like hiding it so that the layer stays a part of the composition, but not included in the render of that composition.

    Similar to 3d apps like Cinema4D where you can specify what actually gets rendered.

    Just wondering, thanks

    Thanks… I’ve got your After Effects On The Spot book and it’s come in pretty handy for a novice!

    That doesn’t seem to exclude it from rendering though? Maybe I have a preference set somewhere, anyway, the guide layer worked.
