Layers not rending in final output

[Kingsley Asumadu]

Thanks for the reply Dave,
I’ve double checked to make sure all the layers are not guide layers, what I have noticed about the none rendered layers is that one of them is a 3D and when I check it off it renders with no problem, the other layer has an outer glow effect (layer style effect) applied to it.
I think this may be the issue, no? If it is what could cause those effects not to render?
thanks,

kingsley.

Perhaps your view is set to something other than Active Camera? If you are previewing a different view, know that what you preview will not render the same way. Rendering always uses the Active Camera.

You right Dave, it’s the mixture of 3D and 2D, I definitely need more experience mixing those.
I’m creating the Star wars end credits crawl, and I need that 3d feel of the texts crawling into space and disappearing.
Do you know other ways I could create that without the 3D layer?
I have sorve the layer style issue partly using your advice, I basically created a shape layer and applied the drop shadow and enhanced it a bit, worked perfectly.
Thanks.

Thanks Walter,
Yeah I double checked to see if it was set to something other than ‘Active Camera View’ but it is actually on that setting.
I really don’t how to rectify the issue, I’m lost for leads.
I was asking Walter if there was other way I could create the ‘crawling text’ in star wars end credits scene without using 3D layer, your input on that will be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Kingsley.

You should not have to pre-render anything to get this to work. Can you post either the AEP itself (without footage is fine) or a screenshot of your complete Ae UI, showing both the viewer and as much of the timeline as you can fit?

Thanks Dave,
This is brilliant idea, I’m currently out and can’t wait to try this out, I’ll post the outcome shortly.
Thanks a million.

Thanks Dave,
This is brilliant idea, it worked though i think I should work on the quality, the rendered quicklime is not crisp.
But thank you so much, now I know other ways to work in after effect.

Thanks,

Kingsley.
