Question

Re-render after every edit?

Hi,

I am new to after effects and have bought a 9 second sting as a youtube channel.

The file opens without problems, I have inserted my own logo and have rendered it.

The problem is when I make small edits (e.g. fade out) and want to preview my changes, I have to wait for the red Time Indicator to very slowely move showing the green bar before I can watch in real time. Sometime the green bar that appears at the top has missing sections and the 9 second video does not completely play.

Could any experts in After Effects help me out please?

    Put the playhead at the beginning of your timeline, then press the spacebar and wait for it to scroll through your timeline (be patient), when the playhead ends, it will go through the timeline a second time and it will play in real time your modifications and you will surely see the green stripe. This is what After Effects does in its normal parameters, but if you have something else to tell us after this then something is wrong or you have to configure it better.

    If you continue to cause problems tell us the tech specs of your computer.

    Thanks for the reply.

    The problem I am finding is that if I make a small change to an effect, I have to wait to go through that whole sequence again.

    So every time I make an edit I have to wait for it to scroll through very slowly before I can see my edit in real time... working on a project then seems to take forever?
