It’s under the preview panel. Drag the bottom of the panel, there’s more stuff there. Under play from, there’s a section that has frame rate, skip, and resolution. Make sure skip is 0. It sounds like it’s set to 10.

You can try to apply it in separate adjustment layers. Maybe flip them where they meet so they don’t leave a line.

You’re dredging up a 6 year old thread, but since we’re here I’ll add this tutorial I made on the subject a couple of weeks ago for anyone else who stumbles upon this.

You can use an old film flash for the background, but honestly it’s mostly just a clever distorted shape/solid layer and some blurring. The grain helps, but it’s so quick that it might not matter. First, I’d suggest downloading the video you’re referencing and going frame by frame through it. That’s how I learned how to do a lot of things back in the day. I learned a lot about how I can cut in things quickly without it being apparent to most people. And you can stop to take a look at it to see what’s happening.
Here’s a quick set of instructions, but play with it.
1. Create a comp.
2. Put your logo in.
3. Make a new shape just smaller than the comp (so that you can blur it and it doesn’t get cut off).
4. Set the fill of the shape to a vintage looking color.
5. Set a key.
6. Right click on the key and make it a hold keyframe.
7. Change the color once or twice.
8. Key a fill effect on the logo in the same way (at one point they might’ve inverted the colors as well).
9. Add an adjustment layer with fast blur and key the blur amount the same way.
10. Bring that comp into your main comp. Put it where it needs to go and resize it.
11. Add the corner pin effect.
12. Set keys for the corner pin just before the logo is “locked up.”
13. At the in point of the layer, spread the top two corners of the corner pin out in your comp.
14. Select those keys and right click to make them all hold keyframes as well.
15. Play it back a few times and adjust to taste.Joe Clay

C4D lite ships with AE. You should be able to make a terrain object in there and import it into AE without much hassle. Atom Array would be the easiest way to get just the lines.

I would’ve said Mocha. If the null is coming in incorrectly, check things like frame rate. If you’re tracking a 3D sequence it’s likely your frame rate is exactly 24 or 30 or whatever but maybe your AE comp is 23.976 or 29.97.
You could try another 3D tracker like Boujou or something. But if Mocha is unable to track a plane, that seems like it might just not work. You can try to hand keyframe the corners with a corner pin and then track out whatever crosses the screen, but that’s probably not going to look the greatest. :/

I suppose you’re dredging up an old thread hoping for a shortcut but you have to at least get the items into your queue to render them. You don’t have to open each project file and set it up if you don’t want to, you can just import all of your projects into a fresh project. Drag one of the compositions you want to render. Set up the output module and location, and then find each comp you want and drag them all into the render queue. Then hit render
Otherwise you can follow Dave’s excellent suggestion from 2009.
Alternatively you can use aerender, but you still need to set up your comps in each project’s render queue. I have an explanation here for Mac OS X:
https://workbench.tv/tutorials/2016-06-03_UsingAerender/You can then either open up multiple terminal windows and run the command in each window for each different project and they’ll all render at the same time, or you can do something like:
./render "Path/to/your/ProjectFile.aep"; ./render "Path/to/your/second/ProjectFile.aep"Just put a semicolon between each instruction and they should run one after the other without stopping.

We’ve been feeling the same way in our studio. Ever since they started messing with RAM previews it seems like things have gotten way worse. I felt like 2014 was a good version until they had that issue with the RAM preview delay. If it weren’t for that, I’d probably go back to it. I’m not sure that 2015 was really an improvement. Hopefully the next version is as performance oriented as they’ve said.
I do enjoy that they mention real time playback of cached frames with synced audio as a feature of the next version. That feature worked on most versions of AE that I’ve used since version 5.0 and it was called RAM preview.

Great idea Kalle! I love alternate uses for plugins!

Mir isn’t a bad suggestion. Neither is Particular. If it’s particular, I’d say this might help. https://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/speed_particles/
You probably could make the outer lines with Mir too actually. Another way would be something like tracer objects in C4D, and maybe x-particles. There should be plenty of ways to do it.
