Question

After Effects - Time Remapping won't render correctly

Hi,

I am working with After Effects CC (v16.0). I'm ready to render my composition but no matter what I do, After Effects seems to skip some of my time remapped key frames. I've tried purging the memory/cache, playing around with the render settings, changing frame blending and motion blur, everything else that has come up in google but nothing seems to work. The files I'm time remapping are illustrator files and everything plays fine in the preview. (Also on macOS Mojave v10.14 if that helps).

Here is one section of the rendered video to show what is happening. This character has four different displays: looking left mouth open, left mouth closed, right mouth open, right mouth closed. The right mouth closed frame isn't displaying in the rendering. If you need some more information let me know, very confused and lost at this point

I have the same issue now in 2020.  No matter what I try, most of my time remapped clips are simply black in the final rendered file.  I've tried rendering to a few different file formats, and other settings just trying to get those clips to become visible in the rendered video, but just black every time.  I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Same for me in 2025, and specially blur effects looks in very deficient quality when trying to render, in the preview they work just fine, and the solution of rendering them first into images didn't work for me.

If everything works fine in the preview,

did you render the composition using media encoder?

try rendering the file as image sequence, then reimport the sequence and re-render it as a movie file.

Thanks for your reply. Just tried rendering as an image sequence but unfortunately I still got the same result
