Hi guys,
Having in mind your responses I experimented with .MOV files. AE rendered them well; It worked.
Now, this is not good news for us at Sesame Street. We have all these WMV files that need to be converted to MPEG2 (Cell phone content).
According to the software specifications AE is supposed to be able to handle this kind of files.(https://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402250&sliceId=1) It would very disappointing if that is not the case.
Again, we got After Effects because of its rendering capabilities. Eventually we want to put a lot of segments to batch render overnight: no effects, no editing at all, we just need to convert them.
So what you guys are saying is that there is not a proper/effective way to make AE render files coming from WMV files?
Our whole issue here is efficiency so if we have to convert the files in order to be accepted by AE’ this process would be completely pointless for us ( As we are dealing with hundreds of segments)
Thank you again your help.
