simple question: belief how to make a crowd (I dont get it…)

[Reloaded]

Cicit, it depends on the comp, if you are going to use a comp only once, it makes no difference in the render time, but if you are going to use it many times (like the crowd, where they repeat the same video many times) if you render it before it does decrease the render time because the sofware will not have to key the crowd comp all the time, got it? Here is a link about how to use proxies https://forums.creativecow.net/cgi-bin/new_page_wrapper.cgi?forumid=2&page=https://www.creativecow.net/articles/kramer_andrew/proxies/index.html

Kitfxxx, at the begining of this post, Cicit added a link for the tutorial about creating a crowd, they key a small crowd (about 8 people) and repeat it many times using particular from http://www.trapcode.com if you can afford it, go ahead, totally worth, but if you can’t, you will only have to duplicate your crowd comp set them as 3D and reposition them. 3D Assistants from https://www.digitalanarchy.com/3Dassist/3Dassist_main.html will also make your job a lot easier.

I hope it helps you.
