Greetings, I am new to After Effects. Recently I have tried  to make a 3D carousel from a youtube videos I found on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZoqxJ4Y2C0). However, I have noticed that the 3D carousel is not visible in the rendered .MOV format video. The 3D carousel can be seen in the preview though. I am using  the classic 3D renderer. Please let me know what could go wrong, thank you so much.

Your preview is set to Draft 3D, the comp resolution locked to 1/4 and you have a camera in the scene. You have to turn Draft 3D off and set the comp resolution to Auto or Full and have the Comp Panel rendering set to Final Quality to accurately check the comp before you render. It looks to me like your camera has Depth Of Field enabled and the iris is set to a very high value. 

 

If you have no idea where to find those settings check the User Guide. To reveal the camera properties that have been changed press the U key twice or press the A key twice to see all of the camera settings.
