Excellent, thanks for the help. I think I figured out why it was all so “Dark”.
My object was being rendered, but all the light sources I had pointing at it weren’t!
Now to figure that out ha :/

Hi, sorry for the late reply. How would I go about doing this? I’m still at the beginners stage so not sure, and I couldn’t see anything online on how to do either of those things.

OK, I SEEM to have gotten it working now!

Through some more playing around with the Batch Render settings in Maya(I turned off auto thread memory and some other things I’m not even sure what does) it appears to have rendered all 240 frames!

Thanks for the help everyone, persistence is key!

Everything’s 24fps all round 🙁
I can even render what’s called a Playblast in Maya, a preview render and it’s 10 seconds long.
Thanks, its hard to get a response in the Maya forum!

Yea I even tried extending my Maya sequence to 480 frames in the hopes of tricking it and giving me half ha.

I’ve tried It upwards of a dozen times and it generally comes out as 240 .if’s which I then import….currently doing another render so I’ll see how many that gives and report back!

Interesting….I’m looking at the footage stats in the top left when I click on the image layer, and it says (triangle symbol, frames?) 132 @ 24fps…..it can’t be exporting properly from Maya…

Thanks for the quick reply! These are .psd image layers I’m using, would that matter?

To be honest I’m not sure, whichever the default one is as it’s the first time I’m using this. I think it’s down to how I’m compiling each layer when I bring them down onto the composition in AE, it’s probably just getting the right combo but I’m still clueless as what that is…

Hi Dave, it did seem to be one frame only as the duration, which I wasn’t sure how to alter.
So I just imported It again as “Composition – Retain Layer Sizes” and then “Editable Layer Styles”

This works perfectly now, as the image has the same duration as my AE Composition.

Thanks!

Turning the opacity down gradually works a charm
