    I rendered a png sequence..oh a glitch..let me fix that by re rendering those 3 seconds..turn off the png sequence and it will not render until i delete the png sequence from the comp..

    Overwriting source files during render is a little bit like a snake eating its own tail, right? How can Ae use the same file for input and output?

    Maybe just render to a subfolder, then copy and overwrite the source files when the render completes?
