Rendering grids and XYZ?
I am “re-new” to After effects. With many years of Photoshop and Illustrator under my belt, I decided to get back into After Effects and bring my illustrations to life.
I just finished the first part of my illustration and rendered it with best quality, full resolution, lower field first, Quicktime w/ millions of colors and audio checked on. I have two problems!
1. When I view the movie after it is done rendering I can still see the “world grid” from the particles I am using and also see the XYZ cube in the top left corner to show which direction the 3D camera is aiming.
2. When I view the movie, The audio seems to play fine but the video seems like its going a bit slower and it gets off beat (It is not skipping, it played streamingly fine). I made this movie to move to the beat of a song and when I RAM preview it, the music and the video are fine.
Can anyone answer these two problems for me? It is extremely frustrating!

Ensure that the plugin’s rendering view does not include these objects. You’ll find the property within the effects Control Panel.

You probably rendered the movie with a very high datarate and your system is not able to playback all the frames in realtime. If you brought the movie into AE and performed a RAM preview, it should playback without any issues.
You may want to lower the datarate settings of your movie to view it without hiccups from QT Player.
It will serve you well if you read more on CODECs and video compression. Lots of info if you Google for it.
