When you import the images, selected Premultiply Alpha, not Straight. Set the background color to black.

The idea of the AE render engine is that you render an image sequence, handing each individual from off to the next available computer in the render farm.

You’ll notice in the Render Settings in any given item in the Render Queue, there is a checkbox to “Skip Existing Files”.

So, if all your machines are rendering to the same folder, Machine A will render frame 000. Machine B looks in the folder and says “oh, I see frame 000 already, I’ll render frame 001”. Machine C does the same thing and then skips 000 and 001 and goes to frame 002.

Make sense?

Can you describe what you are doing a little more?

If this is the same as the other tutorial linked to, sorry. But I’ve written this one for my AE class and my students really like it.

Creating A Simple Camera Shake Using Motion Tile and Expressions

1) Apply Motion Tile to your video that you want to have the camera shake on

2) Apply an Expression Slider (Effects>Expression Controls>Slider)

3) On the “Tile Center” parameter, create an expression. (Option click on the stopwatch)

3) Enter for the expression:

wiggle(5,effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”));

4) Keyframe the expression slider to create the camera shake. Usually, you’ll want an abrupt change, then it decays to zero.

5) Turn on Motion Blur for the composition and the layer.

6) Turn on “Mirror Edges” in the Motion Tile settings.

You might need to crop your original video if you’ve got visible horizontal blanking on the edges. just precomp it and scale it up.
