Light Factory : Visible in AE but not on Renders!
I’ve running AE CS3 and Knoll Light Factory2.5 for a year+ and have never encountered this issue.
Everything was rendering fine on the job, flares visible etc for a week. I’m using LF Glow I have UnMult installed. Its all good.Then as of 6:00 yesterday… Working in AE i can see nice LF Glows in full res 100% – I can adjust keys, values as usual. Then I render and NO FLARES appear on output frames!
I know its not some render setting… I’ve tried everything premult, straight – tried Tiffs Targas still no flares. I didn’t install or change anything recently so I’m completely baffled. I have been crashing but no more than usual. Is there a prefs file or something for plug-ins that could have ben corrupted? quicktime update thing i’m using 7.6.2? I guess I’ll try re-installing the plug-in.
of course this all happens as the project is delivering.
I was forced to screenshot stills inside Ae and try and recreate everything. Nightmare. -

To quote The IT Crowd, “Have you tried turning it off and on again?” Also, since you’re talking about crashes I’ll assume it’s a Windows machine, if you hold Alt + Ctrl + Shift while AE’s starting up you can trash the preferences file. It’ll rebuild a default one…that fixes a lot of issues. (It also means you’ll have to redo any changes you’ve made as far as preferences go…)

I’m actually on mac- just reinstalled knoll LF and it IS showing up in renders again-
Not 100% sure but I think the problem was i was working off an auto-save project file-
that may have been corrupted after a AE crash. AE is still not rendering original plug-in layers but if i apply the same effect to new layers the effect does render.
