RAM preview does not match export with Trapcode Form
Hello world, this is my first post.
Having a strange issue when rendering out Trapcode Form. In my RAM preview, everything looks normal, yet when I render, my form particles have a slight transparency, so I get a kind of additive effect when the particles overlap. I’m rendering out at the same resolution that I’m working in, everything’s on current settings, nothing fancy is happening with my form in terms of opacity (everything should be at 100% all the way through, not using a vanishing point or opacity map)… any ideas? Thanks!

If your export looks different than your preview, it is usually to do with OpenGL.
As Dave mentioned you should not use OpenGL to render anything intended for “final use”, but I’d like to add that even if you have OpenGL turned OFF in rendering, if you are using OpenGL to preview, you will still have a discrepancy between what you see on screen, and what comes out of the render engine.
Prior to render, it is a good idea to look over your comp with “Fast Previews” turned off before render.
Alternately, in my project template, I have a “work comp” where I do all my work, and that is nested in a “render comp” that contains the slate and other things – the render comp is setup with no fast previews, conversions to final color space, what have you – and I will look at the render comp for making final adjustments for color, etc.
