  • That did NOT make a difference, unfortunately.

  • This does sound like a solution BUT there is no MediaCoreQTCodecRulesCS5.xml file on my system.

    I might have already followed those instructions a year ago when I experienced the same issue. Not sure.

  • Don’t see an option for RGBA vs RGB anywhere in the render settings. Once I select 444 I select RGB + Alpha. I’m in CS5.

  • Dave, the rendered file’s Alpha channel is solid white.
    The unrendered comp’s Alpha channel is white where the image is supposed to be and black where it’s supposed to be transparent.

  • maybe somehow the Alpha channel is the background? Since QT can’t see it it shows black, and AE shows both background and foreground. That still doesn’t make sense though because of my smooth/feather etc settings of rotobrush. I would have seen some sort of a line between the foreground and background if that was the case. I can’t think of anything else.

  • I know what it’s supposed to do, but for some funky reason it’s not doing it. I’m bringing in the exact same file for sure. Quicktime shows black background which tells me i’m not crazy and I in fact pre-rendered the right comp. However that file in AE looks identical to the original pre-rotobrush file. Something really strange is going on, really hoping someone on here can figure this out.

    enabled multiprocessing, messed with its settings after watching todd’s vid/articles and rendered in 3 hours 🙂 I’m guessing if i upgrade to a vid card that can support open GL and I enable open GL it’ll render even faster.

    I have thought about it, but at this moment i’m thinking about what to do about the current pre-render status of the roto brush pre-comp. After nine hours it went from 4 hours remaining to 98 hours and 51 min remaining. And it’s not rendering a single frame. Looks like it’s frozen again. 73% of 16GB of RAM currently in use. After Effects i hate you. What could I be possibly doing wrong? It was moving along at a decent pace.

    29.97. I duplicated the rotobrush layer twice with different color corrections, so it’s calculating it 3 times. There’s also a trapcode form layer ( applied to the background ). Render settings: Best, ProRes 422. Didn’t change any other settings. Right now it’s telling me only 59 hours left 🙂 Should I wait? Really need to send this out to the client asap.

    Like when I tried to render out the entire project ( 4 min long ), it asked for 37 hours to render. Is it normal to wait that long and keep the machine running or is that crazy? I’m at 1920 x 1080. It would really suck to get an error message after 2 days of downtime.
