    I’ve run into a weird issue. I’m using Trapcode’s shine plug-in (AE 8, Shine 1.0.6) on a solid layer mixed with a lens flare. In the comp window I see the shine effect no issues, if I render to RAM I see the effect. When I send it to the queue the shine effect doesn’t render, I only see the flare effect. I was getting around it earlier by just saving the PRAM but it’s going to finish in HD and I can’t hold all the frames in RAM.
    Anyone else run into this issue? I’ve fixed permissions on my machine, which a friend suggested, I dumped my AE prefs, all to no avail.
    Thanks for any thoughts.

    Mixed with? So the Shine effect is on the same layer with a Lens Flare Effect? That could be your issue.

    Try separating the lens flare to a black solid set to the Add blend mode.

    Lens Flare… 😉

    Raster layer, there’s my answer. Sometimes it’s just too simple to see. Thanks for the response. Sorry for the dim-witted time-waster.
