Not cropping when render a region?
Hello fellow AE’ers.
I have rendered out some heavy comps that took ages but need to make some changes to a limited area in the comp. I don’t want to crop the comp when rendering, but keep the same aspect ratio so I can just overlay the new rendering and “merge” these.
I need to render to mpg2 and when I have selected a render to region and render to media encoder, I don’t have an option to just render the region?
Any direction would be much appreciated
Best, Dan

This might be dumb but have you tried a simpler format say h264?
Maybe that codec is stuck on legal numbers e.g. HD. -
I’ve always found AE to ME finicky. My workflow is to always use the render queue for exporting out of AE. The I use ME for compressing all my final deliverables.

You could always drop the comp into a new comp. Draw a mask around the area you want to keep, and then export in a format that supports alpha (like tiff, png, or exr)

Wait are you trying to do this via AME?
I have never gone that route far as Render Region.Old school here so I go via internal render for that.

Hi Eric
Yes, using AME, so I can continue working while it’s rendering.
What format do you render out to?
I use AME so I can work while rendering and also choose the exact format I need.

Good Point – does it only render what is in the mask, so rendering time is less than if a mask wasn’t used?
I’m ofcourse also interested in getting as little render time as possible, when only having a small part of the screen being rendered.
Thanks for tip!
