Hi all,
Been using AE since 2006, but found a new issue today with current version. In my composition, I have six trees and six candy canes alternating around the edge of the "circle" as I am using a plug in. I have imported these images from "Magic" which allows me to control their motion with Music, so the trees and candy canes dance to the imported sound file. I guess it is more proper to say that the images are all png files. Have done these sorts of things many times.
This time, I learned that I could view the composition at 1/3 resolution, but at full, half, or quarter, the images vanish and are replaced with random dots, like stars--that still know the programmed motion from Magic. When rendering to see what would happen, one of the images might flash into view for a few frames, but otherwise it is just the dots. A render does not produce a successful result. Even if I render at 1/3 resolution, where I can see the images, the window turns into dots upon starting the render.
It is possible-and I will experiment--that this has to do with the pngs coming in to the composition, and I am also wondering if it memory-related. Naturally, these things are hard to envision this way, but does any of this remind anyone of something? I can't find a settings issue or anything.
Regards,
