Question

After Effects CC 2018 won't render my whole composition

Hi!

I'm currently having a problem with rendering my composition in After Effects CC 2018. The composition render works perfectly but when i play it only a small part of it is playing and it cuts off randomly (My composition is 38 seconds long but only plays 15 seconds of it).

Here's my render settings:

Format: QuickTime

Options: H.264

I'm using a 2018 Mac.

Thanks for your help!

    I think you mean preview. If so, that's probably normal. You need to spend some time here: Basic AE. AE is not a video editor.

    Second, problem, you should never use H.264 Quicktime because it never worked reliably, has been removed from current versions because Apple dropped support for the when they updated Quicktime 7.

    Without workflow details and render settings any other reply is just a guess.

    Hello,

    Have you used any SSDs which let your movies play fast enough?
