iT HAPPENS IN BOTH RENDERED AND RAM PREVIEW.

i’M SUPPRISED OTHERS HAVE NOT RAN INTO THIS PROBLEM.

Up and at them

No, no…

Up and Atom!

Add more software….

What a let down. ;<( Up and at them No, no… Up and Atom!

Thanks,

I’ll have to give it a try. (or re-train my designers to save as PDF).

I think I’ll look into render and replace. that is basically what I want.

I started re-reading the section on the render que in the manual as well.

I mainly wanted some affirmation that I wasn’t going crazy with my computer bleating at me. And also, that I had not become the victim of some bleating virus.

Thanks for the replys.

I have rendered it the old fashion way, one after the other and the video is out the door for now.

My “movie” comp has 3D elements in it and shadows. So it does not scrub very well even with full openGL acceleration. So I rendered it out as a quicktime movie.

Initially I simply dropped the “movie” comp into “render me”.
Then I did a test. I replaced the “movie” comp I dropped into “render me” with the pre-rendered quicktime version of “movie” and it reduced the render time for “render me” and improved scrub ability of render me.

I don’t need two versions of “render me” I simply need one version of “render me” But now it is dependent upon “movie”. So if changes are made in the “movie” comp, I have to also re-render “render me”.

I many cases quicktime versions of comps will render more quickly than the comp itself.

So no one has ever heard a bleat? It sounds like a lamb bleating.

I do understand how to use and setup presets for the render que. I use them daily.

So is my assumption about the render que correct?
Meaning: I should be able to add a comp to the que, then add another comp and and click render and After Effects will render them both in the correct sequence? In my case, I would add “movie” first to the render que, then add “render me” because “render me” is dependent upon “movie” being updated first.

I use AE version 7.

It’s actually Dr. Overlord, kind of like NT’s Dr. Watson I presume.

I’m sorry, but I just have to chime in here when I see such blatantly wrong information posted.

This is mainly to Brian Charles statement “The nVidia board won’t help…”

WRONG!

This board will greatly increase your rendering speed!

I’m supprised none of the “official” cowsters did not catch this.
