Render is Ignoring Parts of the Image
Hi all
I am having a problem rendering out an After Effects sequence, and am wondering if any of the helpful people on this board might know what is going.
Basically I have a very intense sequence-HDR, text animators, 3d. When I render a still image I get the entire image. When I render the whole thing as an image sequence, however, much of the image gets lost.
Here are two images to compare to see the problem:

Wrong: https://www.flickr.com/photos/28010218@N08/2605739402/Originally I was rendering it out on my Macbook pro. When that didnt work, I paid someone to render it out on their big machine. They had the same problem.
Any thoughts out there about what I could do to get it out?
Thank you very much for any help–I am pretty desperate at this point to get it out!
Thanks!

Hi David
Thank you for the reply. What do you mean a custom view? It’s definitely on “Active Camera” in the view choice at the bottom of the comp panel, if that’s where you’re referring too.
Also, I am able to render out the image when I do it as just one still image. It just won’t work when I do it as an image sequence.
Let me know if that answers your question and if you have any other thoughts. I appreciate the help immensely.
Thanks again

maybe not all the effects that you are using are comatible with 32bpc processing and that is causing a problem…? i’m grasping here, i haven’t seen this before….
of course the painful workaround is to render each frame manually…

I appreciate the help, but thats not it either. Im pretty sure all the effects are 32 bpc, but either way, some of the 32 bit material gets out, so that can’t be the problem.
Yeah, its pretty weird….too bad its also driving me nuts. Any other thoughts out there? Again I appreciate the help immensely.

Just to give some idea–I have tried seemingly everything and I havent been able to locate the problem. If I turn my comp to 8-bit, I still have the same problem. If I jsut export one of these text “galaxies” I have the same problem. I have played around with settings in the secret menu too.
All this makes me believe that it does not have to do with how intense the processing of each frame must be, but something else. What that is I have no idea, but I’m hoping someone out there might.
Thank you all again.

I don’t know if this will help, but you may want to try rendering it out as a Quicktime movie with the Animation codec. If this gives you the correct result, open up the movie with Quicktime pro and export it as an image sequence.
I’d first try just rendering out a few frames as a Quicktime movie to see if it works (so you don’t waste your time waiting for the full render if it doesn’t).
