Why wont after effects render my whole movie ?

Kamii Akbari May 28, 2013 4:25 AM

I got a simple comp in after effects. Its just some text and a picture noe videos. But i do got some effects, on the text and the picture im using :

Twitch in the twitch effect manuel , i am using "Bad disortion"

And im using the wiggler, in the mid of the clip.

On the text i am also using twitch. I suppose is the same , which effect it is on the text. Cause it just a effect for a really short time.

So the whole project movie its about 48 sec long. But when i render it to mov , it just renders 3 second. So i can only watch 3 seconds of my mov.

Computer specs :

Macbook pro Retina 15.

Processor : 2,3 GHz Intel Core i7

Memory : 8GB 1600Mhz DDR3

Graphics : Nvidia GeForce GT650M 1024mb

Software : OS X 10.8.3

Hi,

Can you please send us screen shots of your render settings as well, without that, it will be hard to guess what is causing the problem.

most likely problem is that you have not properly setup your Render Settings. That's where you set the length of the render. The default is to render the length of the work area. Your comp's work area is probably not set to cover the entire composition.

You cannot just open AE and start using it. You must learn how the program works. Please go through the getting started materials you'll find here.

I did see no help. I think it is a in system problem, with the render settings. Which may be change by a mistake. If you see the replies you can see my Render settings.

Hi, according to you screenshot you should get 45 seconds and 17 frames. Either way, you should set the "time span" field to "length of comp". Also check to frame rate.
