Oh man you saved the day
I searched for
preview “after effects” won’t render one layer
and this was the first result so use quote in google for best results
BUT WHERE IS THE BUTTON TO SHUT IT OFF!!!
For the next poor sap who runs into this anomlay(id personally not have it in render only in preview so no one would havethis problem)
haha
Took me an hour next to the layer name there will a tic-tac-toe symbol
just right click on the layer and you will see a check box next to ‘guide layers’ and unselect that
and on mac..?
