(I forgot to the post button on this earlier)
additional info: the video file was recorded at 120 fps ( i think, iphone 5s slow-mo) the Composition was 99 fps and the video file was at something else….so i changed the video file to ‘interpret’ as 99 fps to match the comp but then the render was off in a different way.

finally i changed the comp to 60 fps because it wouldn’t let me choose 120…and i changed the video file to 60 fps…and now it rendered correctly.

I still don’t understand why it looked perfect in the preview and not in the render. Why wouldnt it just render it exactly as the RAM preview shows it?

On my first attempt I was watching YouTube simultaneously, which affected the speed at which I could switch between my browser and looking looking at After Effects…it didn’t affect the rendering speed…except for the moments when it slowed to a crawl. But I don’t blame that on youtube playing since it rendered perfectly normal for the 30 minutes or so leading up to the slow down. Also, on my second rendering attempt I closed my browser/youtube and let AE do it’s its thing, all on it’s own, and it did the same slow down around the same time.

I also completely closed my antivirus software so it’s not running in the background.
