  • Knoll Light Factory Render Error

    Posted by Jackson Redshaw on February 7, 2013 at 4:01 am

    Hey,

    I just rendered out a 3 minutes composition and I have some lens flares using ‘Knoll Light Factory EZ’ in the AAE file it looks perfect, in a RAM preview it looks perfect but in a final render it looks like this:

    Instead of this:

    EDIT: I discovered the problem is when I change the Resolution to be rendered from Full to Half (or third) … Is there any way I can work around this? Otherwise I am up for a very lengthy render time!

    Well, now that you have most of it rendered, maybe you could just pull the rendered piece into AE, and overlay the lens flare, then render that at full rez. Should be a quick render.

    There is also a few other things I should fix, is there no way to render Half Resolution with Knoll Light Factory EZ?

    Rendering at Half Resolution will not give you good results.

    Otherwise I am up for a very lengthy render time.

    The reason is you are using CC Vector Blur.

    You can try using other Blur Effects like Directional Blur to reduce the render time.
