Question

Timeline and Output Video don't match - Why?

OK, I've gotten my animation just they way I want it and I output it to Media/Video and when I watch the video there are objects in the video that don't appear on the timeline when I run it or step through it.  How is this possible.

 

Timeline.jpg - what shows on my timeline and  I expect to see

video.jpg - is what I get as output

 

Why are they not the same?

    Thank you for the explaintion.  Sorry Clay, I thought that attaching the files would work, but apparently it does not.

    Here are the two pictures.

    In the top picture you can see what shows on my work area at 14 seconds on the timeline.

    In the bottom picture you can see what comes out when I output a video file. 

    Behind the line of organized molecules (standing straight up) you can see a bunch of "clustered cells" cloging up the appearance of the molecules in the pipeline.

    The clustered Cells don't show when reviewing the video in animate on the Document screen.

    You're going to have to be more specific than "objects". Give us something to work with.

    If you look at the two jpgs I attached. 
    To the right of the Magnatech Green box - on the timeline picture you will nicely organized "verticle molecules" inside the pipe... with nothing behind them.

    ON the Video.jpg  there are all kinds of things behind the molecules that do not show on the timeline.

     

    I know what they are, but what I don't understand is why when I look at the timeline as say 14 seconds there is nothing there, but when I output the video they suddenly appear?   How am I supposed to edit if the edit tool does not show what will be output?

    Neither of your attachments work.
