Please Help: Alpha Stencil Not Rendering/Exporting my Animation Properly

I've been trying to render an animation that has a layer with the alpha stencil turned on (for small fluid/wave-like effect) and extract effect. It's my first time using alpha stencil, I'm not sure why the animation isnt showing up in the render even if I turn on RGB+alpha in the Quicktime render setting.

 

These are my settings (adjustment layer) 

(This is the one inside the precomp Ripples)

 

 

 

I want this to show up after the vid renders

 

But I only get this in my render (the small waves aren't showing up)

Thank you so much!

That's strange! We've got your back.

Do you mind sharing the project file with me for testing, Feel free to share via DM if you do not want to share it publicly. 


Thanks,

Hi @nishu_kush  I attached here a file with the small ripples for testing and troubleshooting. I would like to kindly know why the small lines dont show up once rendered, I need it on a transparent bg. Thank you! 😄

Sorry for the delay in response, and thanks for sharing the file. Try increasing the value of Black Point and Black Softness in the Extract effect of the Adjustment layer.

Let me know how it goes.


Thanks,
Nishu
