Will Nucleo Pro render precomposed comps? (Just like a proxy)

[Mylenium]

No. You still have to render your precompositions as proper Render Queue items and replace them. While I see your point, it has in it the danger of producingwrong results in case you change something in a pre-comp regardless of your good intentions, so that’s probably why it doesn’t work this way.

Actually – I’m not sure if I’m understanding the question properly, but if I am, you might be able to. You can use Nucleo to render ANY layers in the BG of a comp while working with the rest of them.

The feature is called “commit to disk.”

So let’s say I have a bunch of precomped layers that are quite heavy – the precomp is full of a lot of effects and motion blur that slow after effects down. The end result is that any time I want to RAM preview, even for a small change, I have to re-render all of the heavy stuff too because it’s all in there (just hidden in a nested comp). In my main comp, I can select the nested comp, and choose Composition > Nucleo Pro: Commit to Disk.

This will render the nested comp (and ANY LAYERS I HAVE SELECTED -so even 10 Precomps) as 1 layer of video. The original layer (nested comp) will still be in there, but invisible (it’s eyeball switch turned off).

Anyway, durring the time that you are Commiting to Disk, the commited layers are locked, but you can still work with any other layers.

For clarification, see the most recent AE podcast (creativecow.net/aepodcast) which explains every major feature of Nucleo Pro, or you can just wait until tomorrow when there will be a link to the full 800×600 version of the video on the front page of the cow.

Yeah, maybe I understood that wrong. I thought he was refering to automated on-the-fly rendering such as with the spec preview.

I was referring to on-the-fly rendering. I was just speculating if Nucleo was that smart, that it would work in the background, figuring out that some of the nested comps wheren
