Looking for someone to design a logo of a skull or zombie wearing a crown of thorns

Idea is “Djesus Undead”

Needs to be transparent so I can apply it to AE projects

I figured that out but for some reason it only accepts blocks of 600 jpegs at a time? 3500+ total

Thanks

if your jpegs are all in the same folder it doesn’t matter how many there are, just select the first one and check “jpeg sequence” as you import it in after effects. You can contact me for render service: info[at]creattivedesigns.com

This is a serious pain

Probably just going to pay someone to render for me

Never had this trouble with over 30 + AE projects

The problem is I have over 3000 jpeg images

if you follow the steps I’ve said you are making a movie out of the jpegs with after effects. you can then see if there are errors

Not sure if any errors but over 3500 different jpeg images were created. Clicking 1 at a time would take forever. Is there way to Move All files in folder? Tried this in Windows Movie Maker but no go.

in after effects, hit file, import. select the first jpeg of your sequence, and make sure you check jpeg sequence in the bottom left corner.

you see one new file in your project, which is your image sequence. you can click on it, and then you see at the top of the project file, what attributes this sequence has. ae automatically gives it a framerate, which may not the right one. if you need to change that, rightclick on your sequence and go to interpret footage -> main.

drag this sequence into a new composition. import your audio, if you have one, and add it to this composition, too.

you now can rerender that composition to your desired format.

Are there any errors in the jpeg sequence?

Ok I rendered in JPEG, but now what do I do with all the jpeg slides?

I am using AE CS6

in edit -> preferences -> memory & multiprocessing you can switch off multiprocessing, if it isn’t already.

as format you choose quicktime, but you can then change the format options. but this doesn’t make a difference if it renders correctly or not.

instead of quicktime, use jpeg sequence as format. this has the advantage that it renders every frame as a single jpeg file and you can then still access the frames that were rendered correctly, even if there were errors in the render. you then have to rerender only the frames that have errors, and so save your time.

it still looks like an error with the cache.

what ae version are you using?

hit the caps lock key. then go to edit-> purge -> purge all
then go to edit -> preferences ->media and disk cache and hit empty cache. after that, uncheck use disk cache. After that, try to render your project.

Trying the render in JPEG

Is there a setting to disable Preview?

Also after you clear your cache and purge memory, try rendering without previewing first.

How exactly do I switch off multiprocessing?

Turn off multiprocessing if you don’t have big ram on your computer. if you upload on Youtube, youtube hd is 1280×720, so you don’t need to render larger than that for youtube. at this point you could just drop your current 1080 comp into a new 720 comp (same durations and frame rate). then, with that comp layer selected in the new 720 comp, choose layer>transform>fit-to-comp to resize it to 720.

I am at work but will try any suggestions later tonight

I originally did try to render to Quicktime but it made no difference

Is there a difference from Quicktime PNG vs standard Quicktime? I only see 1 option of “Quicktime” on the Render menu.

for the file sequence this may help http://motionrevolver.com/rendering-and-working-with-image-sequences-in-after-effects/ try also rendering to quicktime png at 100% quality. You will get a huge file but then just take the quicktime file and convert it to h264 using after effects or Media Encoder

! Whoever solves this issue I will purchase my next AE project from you !
