I think you’re right, seems to be the way to go.

I’m just amazed there isn’t another option on the drop down:

Character

Character exc Spaces

Words

Lines

All

So obvious/simple. After Effects is weird

Yes I would do, but I’d like to use the text animator if possible

Hi all

For some reason I seem to enjoy using text animators they are (kind of) logical I think. Anyway I have two lines of text moving from one ‘X’ position to to another ‘X’ position using a text animator.

All good it works fine…but

I don’t want the text to animate by ‘character’, or by ‘character exc spaces’ or ‘words’ or ‘lines’ I want the…

Exported as H.264 1080p Encoding as VBR 2pass Target bitrate 15 max 30. size 1920 x 1080

The 30 sec clip is about 100mb mp4. That seems big to me, but I could be wrong? It was a much smaller file size when I us3d dynamic link

Hi all

I’m trying to export a 30 second silent movie. It contains a few short animations created in AE but exported as AppleProRes4444 .mov files (as I need the alpha and had terrible experiences with the Adobe dynamic link thing). Anyway, all is good, but when I come to export, the file size seems huge >100MB. The movie has to live on a webpage so…

That ace, thanks for your suggestion Blaise I’ll give it a try.

I think I may have changed the positioning slightly in the parent comp. ignore BG colours I added the background (created in Particular) into the parent comp. The BG in the precomp is just a colour I selected when i created the composition originally.

The colour change on the actual logo is a mystery thought. I assumed it was because all the…

Thanks Andy. Yes I can go up to 32GB which is on the shopping list. I think (being an imac) the video card is set in stone unfortunately. Although the current mac is due for replacement in the next 12 months, I’m torn between a iMac pro or top spec i9 iMac.

Thanks for your reply. If I render the AE file, won’t that ‘flatten’ the footage? In which case how would you set up a lower third in this instance that needs to appear as an overlay over the original footage?

Hi all

Putting together some footage in PP and I’ve dynamically linked title composition and ending compositions created in AE.

They are all in 3D space, created entirely in AE using the Cinema 4D engine.

All is fine in AE, and although previews are fairly slow, they are adequate. However, when I bring them into PP, the timeline glitches/stops and…

Thanks guys.

I’ve attached a screenshot. The first is the pre comp, and the second is the parent. Realise its enlarged to 400% as its a small image but it still shows the difference in quality.

Depth of field is off.

Thanks

Thanks michael I’ve replied in the duplicate thread

Hi all

I’m working on a composition, inside the parent composition is a precomp containing all the 3d lights/ material options etc. `The 3D objects are shapes created in AE taken from original AI vectors.

When I export the parent compositon the 3D precomp inside loses sharpness. When I export the pre comp on its own, all is ok.

The pre comp…
