Whats the best way to import an already animated sequence into a composition?
Hi there
Ok, so basically I have an animation made up of about 200 brushstrokes that I have done and want to put into a composition, however it really slows down everything once its in there, I guess because the composition has to render the strokes EVERY time…its getting very painful…any recommendations?
cheers

I’d render it alone with alpha channel, then import the rendered clip into AE and use that. It’s slow and painful only once. 🙂

Think ahead though !
If your end-product is going to be fields-based, render in fields and interpret correctly.
If the strokes-anim is then subsequently going to be rotated, moved, scaled etc. in your other comp then the quality will be slightly worse if you stick with the already rendered strokes.I’d look into Proxy’s, that way you can have the speed benefit will working and testrendering, but still render the long painful, but possibly higher quality strokes on final render.
