LAYER GETTING DISABLE ON RENDERING

I converted one screen recording into 3d, changed its geometry curvature and animated it as you can see in the attached video.

 

But while rendering, this particular layer is getting disabled, and all other effects are working properly.

 

Can anyone help me with this? It is breaking my flow. I would be grateful if anyone could help resolve this asap.

Correct answer Airweb_AE

The screen recording layer you mentioned is set as a Guide Layer in After Effects.
Guide Layers are designed not to appear in the final render,
they are only visible in the Composition Panel for reference purposes.

To fix this, check if the layer is marked as a Guide Layer:

  1. Select the layer in the Timeline.
  2. Right-click on it and go to Guide Layer.
  3. If it's checked, uncheck it to disable the Guide Layer status.
    Once the Guide Layer is disabled, the layer should render properly.
