Thnx Dan. Space Transforms in AfterFX are possibly the most poorly named and confusing functions in history of coding. I would rather slerp a quaternion in maxscript.

Thnx Walter. Thank you both for your help.
I’ll give it a whirl. I am interested to see if it is only used with raytraced comps or forces all renders to the GPU.

Hi Roland,
Thnx. It is selected and works fine when I start a render from the GUI. It is only when I am using AeRender.exe from the command line that it doesn’t work.

I also think you could make a light, slave it in front of your camera, then make a particlular layer that uses “Light” for emmitter type.
I’m not sure using the Particular layer in 3d will preserve the physics of the particle system

Could you use an expression to link the transform of the 3d object to the particular emmitter object, like:
Particular>Emitter>PositionXY:
temp = thisComp.layer(“3d layer”).transform.position;
[temp[0], temp[1]]Particular>Emitter>PositionZ:
thisComp.layer(“3d layer”).transform.position[2]Michael Powers

I have had timing interpretation issues with Avid Adreneline.
Everything will be running in Sync in AfterEffects and in Protools, but when we import it (tgas and AIFFs from ProTools, or QuickTimes with Avid Codec(in my case the Meridian)) the Audio is alway miss interpreted by the Adreneline – no matter the setting on the file.
We opened a case with Avid support, but…well you can guess. I just make sure things are ingested in the Symphony Nitrouses now. I know this isn’t really a solution for you, but maybe you can tell Avid that other user have the same issue as you.
