Render problem with AE at DVinfo.net

Filip Gustavson · March 5th, 2009, 04:13 AM

Hi guys!

I've got a problem with After Effects. When exporting my comp as a series of stillframes or as a video (Quicktime, AVI, MPEG, whatever), suddenly, and random some of the frames gets the comp background colour, and not my Gakground plug-in motion background. It flashes back and forth, irritating as hell. Does anyone have any idea why, and/or how to fix it?

Try going into edit>purge> all to make sure it's not messing with the memory. That clears it out sometimes

If you have if you are nesting comps and changing the speed after effects will mess up your animations by a frame here and there. You have to make a movie, import it again, and then change the speed. Give a little more info about what you are doing if you can't fix the problem, I'm just guessing what you could be doing. Maybe your comp is a different frame rate than your export settings? I don't know...

Tanks guys! I've been away for a while, but I'll try to purge. It's not nesting comps and the framerate is same on both export as well as on the comp. It's a non-complicated sponsor presentation for a sport event. Just some PSD-files placed in order and with the Gakgrund plug-in motion background. Shouldn't be any problems really.
