Render Multiple Tiles from Video

[Christine P.]

Thank you for your response.

I will search some more in the live events section, although I tend to think this is more of an AE capabilities question. My question is actually unrelated to the final video file for the LED. I am trying to figure out if I can export the video from AE in tiles for reference. (These files will not play at the event or on the LED)

That’s a great suggestion. I think I may try that.
Thanks again for your help!

I’m not too sure what you need BUT I’m guessing that you need a grid to be displayed for reference purposes. Effect>Generate>Grid should do nicely. Just do some math to ensure that your Grid matches each LED (again assuming that that’s what you’re after).

[Dave LaRonde] “There IS one way I know how to do it: prerender the big, huge comp, reimport it, place it in 50 smaller comps (positioning it very carefully), then add all 50 comps to the render queue and go to sleep while AE works. Or maybe get a cup of coffee instead; considering all the heavy lifting would have been done already, AE would render those 50 comps very quickly.”

That is exactly how I do it.

Another option is to do this with your encoder application, through a stack of presets with custom crop settings. You feed it the main render, and it kicks out the cropped tiles.

With either method, a couple minutes in Excel to figure out the precise positions will save you a lot of frustration.
