I am very new to After Effects. I created an animated banner with text effects, images and movie files. It is 1 minute long. I am trying to export this to an SWF so I can add dynamic links in Flash. When the file had less layers, it rendered and saved just fine, but now that it is completed with many more layers (28 layers) and is full length it will not export properly.
Let me clarify. When I export to SWF it goes through the motions, creates the files and everything, but when I open the SWF (either in a browser or in Flash) it is blank. When I get the properties of the file, it is only 23 bytes large. What am I doing wrong? I have tried to ignore and to rasterize unsupported content with the same result.
