Thanks Brian. I should have posted earlier that disabling the alpha channel render fixed the problem. But I am now interested in the fact the project file that I attached still had that option ticked. Why it would work on your system with that still ticked but not on mine, what are your thoughts?

I am now trying to render just the sky and they are are all rendering blank

Oh, I forgot to mention that everything renders perfectly in the view port and even the thumbnails in the navigator are right.

I figured this out. I had to disable “straight alpha” in the render settings and that fixed the issue.

Thanks John, I finally figured this out this afternoon. It is not readily available info in the main shortcut layout they provide but there in another page.

I just bought an awesome fully programmable keypad from Razer, plus a great 10 button programmable mouse from Logitech, setting up macros all over the place to improve my workflow and reduce time spent.

I understand that but when I go to the original file (sitting in a precomp) that sits in that window, I can zoom in all the way and it is waaaay crisper than how it looks in the main comp.

Hey Brian, sorry for the late reply, I really appreciate you looking into this. Here is the missing image, I forgot I had replaced it:

Sorry about that. The only image that matters is this one: https://www.dropbox.com/s/epmc5smawgjevx8/culture%20cloud%20globe%20great%20lakes.png?dl=0

This is the one that shuts off

Thanks Brian, here is the scene file and you will maybe have to add the .lib4d file to your browser

Thanks for the replies. This is for a client’s website and those are the dimensions the web developer called for.

I spent a couple hours re-building the scene at the proper size and everything came out great. I wont be making that kind of mistake again!! I cant believe I did not catch that when I started.
