can't export to Media Encoder when using red giant plugins

[M13F]

Hi there, using the latest release of redgiant (maxon one). 

Latest versions of AE and ME 22.4.

When I use one of the RedGiant plugins in a comp, it is no longer possible to export to ME.

Doesn't matter which Plugin (Shine, Starglow, Tao...)

Looking through the forums on this topic, this has been a problem for years! Which is incredible. With each update the fear increases that something might stop working instead of getting better....

I would be very grateful for a solution to the problem at last.

Hi there,

We're sorry about the poor experience. Have you tried switching the Renderer to Mercury Playback Engine Software Only & checked if it's exporting properly? Also, are you able to export the comp directly from After Effects?

Thanks,

Sumeet

Hi Sumeet,

yes, I have tried everything!
-Mercury Playback Engine Software Only
-Downgrading ME

-Downgrading Trapcode

I do not know if it is helpful to downgrade AE as well.

The export only works with projects that do not use RedGiant plugins

To close this thread...

Currently the plugins only work with ME, if the plugins are applied directly to a composition (RG shine, starglow, etc). They will not work with ME if the plugins are used with a adjustment layer.
For example: If you put the adjustment layer over different layers.

We'll see what future updates will bring.
