Question

Layers moving around on its own when rendered

When I preview my animation on After Affects, my animation is perfect, but as soon as I add it to Media Encoder, the movie preview changes; Some layers doubled, another layer that shouldn't be animated are animating on its own.

Can someone help me fix this?

Rick seems nice, but obviously doesn't know the answer. Did you ever figure it out? I'm having the same problem. Imported Illustrator (2023) vector artwork shows up just right in AE (2023) preview, but renders out of place in X, Y and in scale. It's as if there's a camera Z depth issue problem, but I'm not using 3D in this one, or a 3D camera. Thanks in advance, for any clue as to what I'm overlooking.

I got the problem to resolve itself by figuring out that it was an error with Media Encoder, not After Effects. My background layer did the exact same thing as yours. I followed this video tutorial and exported the video directly through the program. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BHR1MBJ2og&t=344s

Without workflow and composition details including the modified properties of all lawyers that are giving you trouble it’s impossible to even guess what’s going on.

Rick, if I showed you all the lawyers that were giving me trouble I'd be here for days!  :-)

But seriously, I agree with Rick, we need much more info.  My first thought is - are you working with 3D layers but previewing with a custom view, rather than from the comp's camera view?

But no way to know without you showing us your comp, with all the modified layer properties displayed.
