Good Point – does it only render what is in the mask, so rendering time is less than if a mask wasn’t used?
I’m ofcourse also interested in getting as little render time as possible, when only having a small part of the screen being rendered.
Thanks for tip!

Hi Eric
Yes, using AME, so I can continue working while it’s rendering.
What format do you render out to?
I use AME so I can work while rendering and also choose the exact format I need.
Best, Dan

Hello fellow AE’ers.

I have rendered out some heavy comps that took ages but need to make some changes to a limited area in the comp. I don’t want to crop the comp when rendering, but keep the same aspect ratio so I can just overlay the new rendering and “merge” these.

I need to render to mpg2 and when I have selected a render to region and render…

An additional question to the offset – is there a specific amount of iterations that can be run and then stop when that has been reached?
Say I want the wheel to turn around 10 times and after that I want it to stop?

Best, Dan

Thanks a bunch for reply as always Walter!
I get an expression error about the offset and it doesn’t continue after it reaches the last keyframe. I’m for sure doing something wrong ?

Hello fellow After Effect friends.

I have so far been hand animating a circle with a pattern that rotates 20 degrees, overshoots and then stops for a second. After a second, it rotates backwards a few degrees to gain momentum and then rotates another 20 degrees and overshoots agan and return a few degrees to settle. Similar to bounce effect, but…
