Thank you helping me and for taking the time to reply!

I’m creating some animated banners for the web and exporting them as HTML5 .json files using the plugin “Bodymovin” (which is like “Lottie files”)

This .RON thing is a new one for me. It’s definitely not a video format and it doesn’t even seem to be an animated banner format. I think I have to go back to the client and find out if THEY know what they’re talking about lol.

Thank you again for all your help!

All I can say is – you’re amazing.

Hi Again – Just wanted to follow up in case anyone had the same question. I was able to bring my render into Premiere and export from there.

Best,

Tara.

Hi Everyone!

Just wanted to update this in case someone else has the same question.

I was able to get this to work.

As someone in a different forum said, if the code is written correctly, it should work even if it points to an external drive or dropbox. Well, I ended up downloading a little app called “path snagger” and the path that it copied worked.

There were a few “\” in there that I wouldn’t have put in myself.

For example – this is the path that worked.

‘/Users/taradevlin/Dropbox/FREELANCE\ PROJECTS\ \(Selective\ Sync\ Conflict\)/ae-projects/alerts/template-profiles/default-alert.js’;

So I guess the app copied it correctly.

Happy AE’ing!

Best, Tara

Thank you, Dan, for such a quick response! I don’t think that’s doing it for me either, unfortunately. I’m not using POI on my camera.

That’s funny… I was actually just thinking that if this was a union gig, unrealistic exceptions would be properly managed and creatives would not be (as) abused. Workers need a voice and an ally – especially since there are so many desperate people waiting to do anything for pennies.

I like your idea about freelance, Joe! I worked freelance in the past, and I had a lot more freedom and a lot more fun!

I’m wondering if anyone else wants to chime in?

What are some of your experiences managing timelines and expectations?
