If any of your elements are 8K or above you will experience much slower render times. If more than one of your elements is over 8K look out!

Another option, I bet this works when you export to Media Encoder instead of AE’s Native Render queue. The in and out Cue points would be recorded separately for each render node.

A simple workaround, Just duplicate the comp for the purposes of the render
render Portion A from the original Comp
render Portion B from the duplicate, then remove the dupe after render.

Hope this helps

You could send a luma matte along with your “none” alpha Quicktime 4444 all in the same file.

See attached.

All above is great info. Andreas is right about higher resolutions used for line art. I wanted to further that comment with the reason why print images need to be certain dpi, and possibly fill in the blank where your employee used to be.

Originally, offset printing or web press were your method of printing. Your computer images were output to…

Because Puppet creates the mesh based on the alpha of the layer and expansion value set in puppet, you can’t reuse/replace the layer, much less move the pins after the fact. The effect just won’t “reinitialize.”

While I don’t know how to code this, is stands to reason you (or someone) could write a script that considers 80 Null layers, with the…

Put a non repeating pattern like a QR code in the center of that Green Screen panel and it will track. Then use a garbage mask to remove the QR code after keying.

Also, I just export a baked camera from Maya as .ma include some Locators named Null2 Null2 etc for refernce and import the ma into maya.

You might pre comp your characters and use the essential graphics panel to compile a list of channels for animation.

I agree with all the above comments, although, like you, I often do some editing in AE in spite of non-realtime performance. It works for me when I want to take three shots or more and transition more seemlessly, like with more advanced action wipes, or a string of fake camera moves into the TV in one shot, then the Car mirror in the next, etc……

Agreed with Motion Tile,

Also Repetile does the same thing, but expanding the layers boundaries to get the results.

It has lots of tiling modes, unfold is very useful.

I suppose your friend has a similar system to yours, Using the in-processor video card perhaps? This is common when working on a laptop.

It’s probably your GPU then. Adobe and nVidia work very well together. I assume AMD does well also (I haven’t use AMD since they were ATi), but the in-processor video cards by Intel do not have a great track record in high-end software. I think that’s Changing with Iris, we’ll see soon enough.

I’m not seeing the anomalies in your footage, when they’re on my systems. I checked them in VLC player, AE, and Premiere Pro.

I can think of two possibilities that could cause this.

1. video driver/GPU issues.
See if disabling GPU in premiere fixes the problem
File > Project settings > General & change the video renderer to ‘MPE Software Only’

I’m checking out your file now. And no need for embarrassment here. You’re surround by people with similar problems.

Two more questions, what is your video card?

Would you send me a link to one of the files that does this on your system, I’d love to test it.

Ingest is a general industry term for obtaining the clip/footage onto your HDD. It’s general enough that you can discuss the action without having to declare it as “captured” since that doesn’t describe all forms of ingestion, such as downloading etc.. You’ll find it used in Premiere to describe that very action, the third tab under Project…

And what file format and what codec are these files?

What are you using to ingest these? Are you using a capture card?

You can add a >selector >Wiggly to that Animator 1 and get some nice variety to the flow.
