probs with frame sequence on twos

[ratbaggy]

not too sure exactly what you mean pete. I've got a fair heap of experience with AE so we'll get it fixed.

Thanks Ratbaggy.

Here's the prob, 'cause I'm always rendering on twos, when i load it into afx i get's this effect.

It seems like frame 80 is missing or not readable for AFX. When i find such a pic, and there´s not much movement on the picture, i just duplicate eg. frame 79 (Copy, Paste and rename). But to get it clean, you need to re-render all elements/Layers of frame 79

Pete,

I'm not sure I'm COMPLETELY understanding still. The rendered files you have (eg frame000.tga etc) are they sequential or do they (beacuse you are rendering on 2s) go...

frame000.tga
frame002.tga
frame004.tga and so on?

if this is the case, a work around is to rename the files sequentially, alot of work I know!
and/or
re-render at ones and change the frame rate of the imported clip (not the composition) to 12 fps.

I didn't ever use AE 4, so I'm not sure what you mean about it being a removed feature, but we will get there.

Yeah my frames go,
frame000.tga
frame002.tga
frame004.tga and so on?
and that's why it's causing a problem. In previous versions of Afx (well 4 and earlier) it used to hold the last frame instead of showing a placeholder which was heaps better for me.

I have found that if you import the frame sequence and check alphabetical order (under the frame sequence checkbox) It won't worry about the missing frames inbetween but when you put it back in the compostion you have to stretch it out to 200%.

In Digital Fusion you can choose how it handles the missing frames - like hold last frame, show nothing, ect. but hey.
