2014 After Effects Render Bug?
All of a sudden, I have to change my resolution from 1/4 to full before sending comps to Media Encoder or After Effects Renders at the lower Resolution. However, if I use After Effects render Cue I don't. Is this a bug?

Here are some of the best possible images I could find.
They are all production photos, which means they're higher quality than you would get from screensnapping the film itself.
I am trying to replicate the method used to create the lightsaber effect seen in these photos. Although some are more highly lit than others, it is my belief that they all are created from the same method.
One of the things I notice is that the glow of the lightsaber gets narrower towards the tip of the blade. Similarly the blade itself does so.
This would prove the opposite to that of the Rick Gerard method: https://vimeo.com/25150499
Rick’s method is achieved by stretching the composition to fan-out the saber.
This works great for motion (saves time rotoscoping), but doesn’t account for when the sober is motionless.
Let me reiterate: the blade in Rick’s method gets wider towards the tip, but in the ILM version it gets narrower (except when in motion).
Rick told me that, in all likelihood, the method he showed me IS the method used by ILM.
How in this case can the narrowing of the blade be explained?
Subsequent to this realisation, I experimented with the masking method used by Ryan Wieber, and easily achieved a narrowing of the blade. But the glow remained normal.
Normal is bad. I need the glow to narrow towards the tip of the lightsaber.
In the first link I attached, the glow of the blades is non-existent. There is an aura around the blade, and it appears to be misty in nature.
In the other links, there is a glow.
I infer from this that there is a two stage process: add the aura, then add the glow.
But this is all guesswork, and when push comes to shove the blades I make look nothing like those by ILM.
This is the problem and my question is how do I overcome it.
Thanks for listening,
Best,

How to disable render logs???
Hi I submitted a feature request for this, but wanted to reach out to the community to see if anyone has found a work around for this?
Also I wanted to encourage other users who feel the same way to submit a feature request as well.
Feature Request/Bug Report Form
Here is what I submitted to Adobe.
How would you like the feature to work?
User can choose a custom destination folder for all render logs. This folder can be selected as a global preference in the After Effects general preference menu or chosen through the render queue drop down menus for project specific or template based destinations.
Why is this feature important to you?
For my job at World Poker Tour we animate graphics to follow the actions of each hand we cut into each show. This becomes hundreds of After Effects projects by the end of the season. Now with no option to choose where these log files go or to not create them at all, we have hundreds of folders cluttering our very organized file structure. So we end up deleting these folders as we go which creates an unnecessary and annoying step in our process.
With almost all other destination folders in After Effects being user defined, it is very strange Adobe would not let users choose the destination folder for the logs as well.
We kept the default setting to log errors only, which could be useful by only generating a log when an error occurs, so if we see a log folder has been created we know to check it, but instead it always creates a log letting us know that no errors occurred which seems pointless since we generally expect the render to have no errors.
The log folders have become the equivalent of junk mail, After Effects sends them to us and we throw them in the trash without even looking at them.
I do see the value in having a log generated for each render, but there needs to be options to make it less intrusive if desired by the user.

Adobe Bridge 2017 not placing Presets into After Effect 2017
I have upgraded to CC 2017. When I got into After Effect 2017 and just type out a text. I go to the into the effects and presets panel and click on browse presets, which opens into Bridge 2017. I drill down into Text, animate in and if I double click on any of the content…Nothing happens. The text layer is selected. I have also right click on the preset and selected place in adobe after effect. Nothing ever happens. Do I need to change a setting?

After Effects 2017 CRASHES WHEN I TRY TO OPEN IT!
I have just downloaded the trial version of AE 2017. The only problem I have is that I can't even try it because it stops working soon after I run it.
I think it's a problem due to the GPU. I got a GTX 970 with the latest driver installed. If I deactive my GPU, AE runs just fine but rendering and previews are much slower without my GTX. Please I need help.

rotoscoping advice
Hi, I am quite new to After Effects. I shot a short film, edited it in Premier and now have this one scene here: shoulder - YouTube in which I want to add a black basinet to the background, like this (see below). Let me know if I am on the right track as to what I need to do to accomplish this.
- You'll notice that the video I posted currently has a blanket in the background where I want the basinet to be. I will have to clone that out...is there anyway to do that in After Effects vs. individual frames in Photoshop?
- Because the shot is a moving closeup over his shoulder the basinet will be 'revealed', there is a point in which the actor's shoulder will be blocking the basinet until the camera reaches its destination over his shoulder. Does that mean I have to extract the actor, make him his own layer, then make the basinet its own layer so that it is in front of the actor?

Conflict with After Effects 2017 and AMD graphic card compatibility
I am facing some unknown conflict with After Effects CC 2017 and AMD graphic card (it gets freeze and restored showing the message below). This is a new issue that never happened while I was using the previous version Adobe CC 2015. I got a PC / Windows / Graphic card: AMD FirePro W7100.
Also it happens with Photoshop but it's still working...
Please, any suggestion??
Thanks!

AE 2017 PREVIEW NIGHTMARE
Sorry for the bad english...the title says all...same computer (i7980x, GTX680 4GB, 24gb of ram, Win7 Pro, SSD for cache and for system...). 2014, the one that i use to work and get the job done, is like a supercar...2017...is like a super crap. The unified camera tool problem was resolved in 2015...not for me and not for this version either...for me at least....really boring and really sad. If there is something to do...i'll do...but hope that will be some updates for 2014 version, because with this new AE i can't work anymore. I've updated just for fun...time to use this new crap...five minutes and unistall it to save space on my HD. 2014 is the way to go...yes...in 2017....unbelievable...
The videos shows it well....first part (as you can see from the top left) is from 2014...second one from 2017 crap...

Shortcut French AE
Hello,
Since the last update of after effect (version 2015.3) I the shortcut to trim a layer where you stand in the timeline doesn't work anymore.
The shortcut was Alt+$ (to cut the end of the layer), Alt+ù (to cut the begin of the layer)
What is the new shortcut because I use it all the time and it's really long to do it without it.
Thanks.
The same in French:
Bonjour,
Je cherche le raccourcir qui permet de raccourcir un calque dans after effect version 2015.3, il permet de raccourcir le calque par le début ou la fin la ou on se trouve sur la timeline.
Alt+$ pour raccourcir par la fin
Alt+ù pour raccourcir par le début
Si vous savez comment le changer ou qu'elles sont les deux nouveaux raccourcir pour ces fonctions, je suis preneur.
Merci.

Can't grab time-remapped keyframes
Odd bug? I am using the latest 2017 version of AfterEffects on a mid-2014 MBP running 10.10.5. After I enable remapped time, I am unable to highlight and grab single keyframes. I can highlight all and, holding down shift, un-highlight them by drawing a loop around the ones I don't want. But even when doing that, I cannot actually grab the highlighted keyframes, but must use keystrokes to move them. Very time consuming! I don't have this trouble so far with many of the basic property keyframes, such as scale, position, transparency. Is there something I'm doing wrong or have things changed in AECC'17 regarding Time-Remapping?

Cineware: No Wireframe Preview
Hi,
Since updating to AE CC 2017 release I am unable to preview Cineware files in After Effects using 'software' (wireframe etc) mode... Everything within my version of Cinema 4D Lite seems to be working fine. Can anyone tell me why this might be? Do I need to adjust some settings? It's really slowing down my workflow.
Thanks!
