If your AE render to sequence filed fails, just restart AE or even a hard reboot, and head on to the render queue. Select the comp name and goto the edit (or comp – can’t recall) menu and choose duplicate with filename.

You’ll get a new render item. Look into the Render Settings dialog window and you’ll notice that AE automatically changes your in point to reflect where it last saved your seq – IOW when your system crashed.

Granted, if it was a stupendous crash, then chances are that AE may not have been able to save the required data.

An alternative is to import the entire Premiere project into AE using the File>Import> menu. Just select Premiere Project and that should be a better option than copying and pasting between the two apps.

[Steve Roberts] ” once I noticed a size difference between PS images (same pixel dimension) sent to me at 72dpi and at 96 dpi.”

I believe it has to do with the Resample Image switch. If it’s on, then there will be a size differential.

Dude, you really have to do some work on your own. The following info was in the thread I gave you. Read it. And if it still doesn’t work then re-read the entire thread again until you get it.

Well you are getting this error because the layers that make the box have to be the topmost layers in the composition. You could place the null below the box layers, and then turn back on the expressions that had the error but I have a better solution:

1 – Make sure you are working in a square pixel comp
2 – Apply the expressions to the layers and make the box
3 – Select All the box layers and press “ee” to bring up all parameters that have expressions applied
4 – Select these parameters and go to Animation > Keyframe Assistaant > convert expression to keyframes
5 – Now parent all your layers to a null, add light(s), camera(s) and you are good to go.

10,000 x 768 is a really huge image. It seems that you’re unsure how large you need your background to be. If that’s the case, start with a proxy at broadcast rez. Scale up as much as you need to in order to achieve your moves. Then look at the max scale value. Right-click and open up the value entry box and change the view from percentage to pixels. That’ll let you know how large your image needs to be. You may want to pad the values by an extra 5-10% – just in case.

Err, I’m not a computer with AE and I don’t have the script that you’re alluding to. Please re-post with the script if you still need some assistance. I do recall that all of your layers have to be the top six witihn the comop for the Expression to work.

Weird eh? I would increase cache from 60 to 80 instead of lowering it.

Have you tried switching off previews with the CapsLock? Is the issue occurring consistently with one of the boxes and not the other – hardware RAM issue?

Not possible. You’ll have to try and match the “special view” using the Active Camera view.

You’ll need a 3rd party tool in order to output WMVs on the Mac. Here’s one, Flip4Mac.

You’ll also want to output to WMV9 and not WMV MPEG4 (this one’s a legacy CODEC that never made it to first base). I’m not even sure if it’s available as an option these days.

And stay away from AVC1 if you want good quality stuff with pretty good copatibility across Media Players. Best to also check on datarate/bandwidth requirements from your client.
