Nooby After Effects help

Murray · 7 Jul 2011 at 15:10

Need some help with Adobe After Effects I have never used it before so I dunno what I have done and google isn't helping much.

It keeps repeating the section that is in a lighter square and I can't seem to get rid of it so if anyone could help that would be great.

That's because that's all you've pre-rendered so far. Hit the numpad 0 key to prerender the lot.

Done that the green line goes right along but it still repeats that one bit.

Murray · 7 Jul 2011 at 16:46

Anyone? A reinstall didn't fix it.

Murray · 7 Jul 2011 at 22:36

Still not fixed it.

Murray, have you considered using another app for the same effect if possible?

I was wanting to make a 5 second intro for my Youtube any suggestions on other apps?

I'm on Mac Murray,

so can't help you there. Am sure other peeps can.

Have you tried one of the other forums?

If we keep posting hopefully you'll get some help.

Bump, bump, bump.

Can you post the file, don't have to include you intro? Just copy the project, delete the logo/text and leave the comp. Make sure it still does this dodgy repeat thang, then upload it. I'll check it either tonight or by lunch tomorrow and then we can see if its the project or your AAE settings.

EDIT - Could try deleting that marker.

There you go it does it in every project I make so I dunno what it is.

If anyone wants to make me a intro feel free I didn't know what I was doing anyway.

Can't open on my mac, I'll check tomorrow on my PC.

On that project file the comp is only 5 frames long and you don't have any layers in it... You've got two layers on your screenshot. Assuming your comp length is wrong, make your composition longer, if there is no animation going on then it will look like the first frame is repeating. Change your composition settings (you are working at 30fps - any reason?) the timecode works by frames ie 00:00:01:00 is 1 second (30 frames).

have you tried turning it off and on?

I wanted a 5 second in length and I don't have any layers because I deleted and reinstalled it, If you add an animation you can see it just repeats it self, I am working at 30fps so my intro isn't jerky and looks a bit weird.

Thanks for the help.

Seems that I have problems with my AAE atm, won't start or anything. :/ Sorry I can't help.

Murray · 9 Jul 2011 at 00:33

Any body else got suggestions I really want to make a youtube intro :L

Murray · 9 Jul 2011 at 01:24

I just downloaded a project online and it wasn't there but I didn't really want to use someone elses work.
