You may also try this:

1) Start up After Effects
2) Press Ctrl + Shift
3) While holding those buttons go to Edit > Preferences > General
4) When it opens up lzet go of the keys
5) Click on the dropdown menu

now there is a hidden section called “Secret”. Click on it.

In the options CHECK “Disable Layer Cache”, and enter the number
between 5 and 15. This works best.

This may be not the best solution, but it should help.
If it doesn’t you should do a test of your RAM.

Oh! And keep “Ignore Sequence Rendering Errors” UNCHECKED.

Good luck!

Hard to say whats causing the problem, especially when it doesn’t appear on ram preview.

anyway, try to turn on the FrameBlending, or simply replace TimeRemap with Timewarp and try using PixelMotion as a method of rendering.

You need to draw a path, just like you’d be drawing a mask. When finished go to mask options of the layer (press M twice), select Mask Shape, copy it, and paste it as a Position keyframes on the target layer.

you may have to create first keyframe by hand on the target layer, and then select Position and paste.

i hope that helps.
cheers

I never trusted AE’s options to export SWF or FLV. I always get around it by exporting to whatever format other than SWF or FLV, like Lossless AVI, and then convert it to SWF or FLV using other tools.

thanks. 🙂

there are more tutorials coming your way.
and if you have troubles playing the tutorial please check
if you are using some javascript blocker like NoScript (in firefox),
or simply make sure, that the javascript is enabled.

the tutorial page uses standard UFO script to create flash object.
it is used all over the net, so theres probably something wrong
with your computer.

cheers

what are your feelings about it?
i was planning to buy myself a copy, but since
im switching to CS3 in a weak or so, im wondering
if i still need it.

AE CS3 supposed to be faster in rendering and better managed
prerendered layers…
