Render Problem
I’m currently in the process of trying to render out the project I have done using AE. It’s just under 2 minutes long and is about 3.5GB in size.
Anyway, i’ve managed to render it in both .mov and .avi formats and the final render doesn’t replicate what was designed.
The frame rate is horrendously slow, the animations are out of time and it seems to stop half way through the piece.
Anyone know why this might be?

Don’t assume that any video will play back on your computer. Hard drives aren’t yet fast enough to play highest-quality videos. They just can’t read the disk fast enough to sustain full frame rate playback.
Highest-quality videos are meant to be transferred to another app for further processing — they’re not meant to be played back. Unless you have a RAID.
So don’t try to play back the video unless it has gone through all processing to its playable end (Sorenson, WMV, DVD) or you’ve made a test video for hard-drive playback (say, Photo-JPEG at 89% or so).
Unless the problem’s something else …?

How would I go about processing the video further?
I’m a noob to this stuff sorry.

Well, that depends on the platform on which you want your final video to play back.
Web?
Hard drive?
DVD? -
I’ve managed to use Quicktime to compress the file to another format, but there’s still a small delay. I’ll be running it from the hard drive, whats the best compression method on QT to use?

So I ask someone what kinf of car he bought.
He says “a Ford”.
I say “what kind of Ford?” He says “Mustang”.Saying you used Quicktime to compress to another format is like saying you bought a Ford. Not specific enough. Here, we need to know which Quicktime codec you used. Was it a Mustang, an Explorer or a Focus?
Anyway, for hard drive playback, try Photo-JPEG at 89% or so, or render to the Animation codec then use QT Player to compress to H.264.
