sorry

Okay, I simply changed the composition to 23.98 after the layer mask was rendered and I should be able to render/export as 23.98.

I hit a snag, changing to lower make the composition viewer happy, but in the layer view another warning to use 47.952. So I’m back to the funny number. Is there a way to change the output fps for projects in the render queue? I’m about to try and render to see how long it takes.

When I change it back to “lower field” I do not get the warning.

After the change from lower field to off, I get this warning message:

“After Effects warning: Roto Brush will not render correctly because the source frame rate changed from 47.952 fps to 23.976 fps. To fix, change it back.”

“lower field” was selected, so I changed it to off as you suggest.

Remove pull down was set to “off.”

Thanks Gray, but I can’t take all the credit. When I was creating a layer to use the roto brush, AE popped shot up a warning about using 23.976 and offered to change it to 47.952. Kevin overruled the machine, damned the torpedoes, and got me back on track. CS5 is not easy, but well worth the effort. Thanks all.

The render settings are shown in the image. The clip is a 23.98 quicktime export from FCP that AE recommended and then converted to 47.952.

Say I only added it to the render queue, would the composition viewer continue to move in slow motion (tying up all my processing power) while the orange bar is swiping on and off under the viewer and the red line in the timeline continues to move from left to right? Is that the action expected of the standard preview?

Thanks for the link.

Here is a screen shot of the timeline. The progress was stopped while I took the screen shot, but prior to that and after there is an orange line sweeping (just above the timeline) and the video is moving frame by frame in super slow motion. Before stopping the render for the screen shot, the brackets were at 3:20 and now are at 2:39 after I hit the space bar.
