long have I been reading you guys saying “render uncompressed, do a 2-pass encoding on another software later…Its better, faster and so on…”
I do believe that’s accurate, BUT from my experience today it can get tricky… for example I went on rendering uncompressed a 3’30” video that I knew took some time to finish (bout 1h 15mins)… so I could get a better compression/quality ratio later.
It was 720p and I wanted wmv codec. it took me an extra hour to make AME yield the same size and quality as my default 4mbps 1-pass AE render (20minn each 3 times to get a nice quality). At the end it looked almost the same and had about 5mb less than a previous version I had rendered before.
SO TO SUMARIZE…I’m saying that if you don’t have a SPECIFIC restriction in size. AE is fine.
I would though, be very happy to know what you guys usually go for (in terms of bitrate, and with what software) with some standards (SD, 720p, 1080p, on h264, wmv etc.)

1º: could also be due to you having motion blur ON for the background and OFF for the layers.
2º: Are continuously rasterization turned ON for those ai layers?
3º: perhaps a framerate mismatch for one of those codecs?
my 2 cents…gl

Is it not storing or is it deleting one as you try to preview another?
You’re probably just running out of RAM… check your processes and see if AE is taking all your system has for it.

Just to add a quick hint…double tapping “a” is the shortcut for material options.

I can try to help, mail to cassius.marques@gmail.com.

precompose the transition, so your output comp sees only one audio layer, it should come out the way your hearing inside AE.

Whe you say “light coming from the flashlights” do you mean the bright spot on the flashlight(tip) or the light itself (volumetric light in 3d space)?
can you post a Screenshot? And also explain if you intend to emitt particles that stay in place (like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_writing) or that follows the flashlight pointing direction?

You mean you want the trail of the particular effect to look like a laser beam?
Like this? https://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/3d_stroke_effect/

Duplicate your text, unlink one of them(from the map) and shut the other off, paste the expression below to the visible text’s position:
a=thisComp.layer(“linkedtext’s name”);
a.toComp(a.anchorPoint) -
You guys are all missing the point here… there is a white rectangle in the picture and its area doesn’t even match the comp’s area, there is nothing to do with alpha. It only happens in 32bpc mode… I’ve had that too, I’ll suggest you switching to another glow. If you change to 8bpc, white rectangle disapears right?
