After Effects question

Previewing

from WinCustomize Forums

Simple question for anyone familiar with After FX

How the heck do u keep ur Play\Preview rendering going when u click off After FX and onto another program or window..? (unfocused)

I cant very well sit here and do nothing while it takes 30 mins to preview render something, but as soon as I do anything else, even click inside AFX, the preview rendering stops.

 

Carguy... anyone ?

 

Thanks in advance, its driving me batty. :beer:

two systems, one dedicated to processing the AfterFX? Sounds like a work thing do they have the resources available? (non-technical answer)

you can turn on the option in general rider secret if you dare...
hold shift on your keyboard after  opening new composition now click on edit/preferences/general/secret turn on the two options and try...

As far as i know when the (Danger!) thing is activated it will keep rendering until its done

Hmm... doesn't help, when i click off of the AFX app, the Preview stops.

 

perhaps Im not explaining clearly what Im trying to do..

 

Lets say i load an animation effect onto a solid... I want to see the preview, but of course the frames have to be rendered to see it at real time..

 

so... U click preview\play.. it starts rendering states, right.. but.. as soon as u click anywhere else on your screen.. either in or out of AFX.. it.. stops.

 

Basically.. unless u sit here and just watch your screen as the it renders ur preview across the timeline...it stops rendering the preview.
