well needless to say with anti-aliasing on 1 as well as motion blur things hum along really fast. hey i have been rendering for years and a 12 hour render isn't much but then again quartz is a real time environment. lets say 12 hours later i was still waiting for a 3 min animation. My first day with crystal i cranked up the anti-aliasing and motion blur. far superior than any plug-in or screen shot in my humble opinion. crystal really does wonders for gl lines and stuff.

now most times apples movie export or just a screen capture will suffice for me but when i want quality quartz crystal kicks ass. that provides far superior renders than you get out of qc plug_in. One quartz crystal is an application not a plug_in. Folks that try and edit films in AE take eight to ten times longer to complete the same project as someone that is properly using AE to create shots and short sequences that you can't create in a NLE.Thats very ambitious to make a plug-in better than quartz crystal. It is really the only place you can efficiently fine tune a sequence.įolks that learn to work that way, pencil test for motion, then ink and paint, then render the shot and then edit can turn out five or six times more finished product that someone stuck in the Ram Preview cycle that is so easy to get stuck in. An NLE is the only place you are going to be able to preview more than a few seconds of any film in real time. When all of the shots are rendered I edit the final piece in Premiere Pro, add any sound effects I need to, polish the audio track and send the final off to render.

While that comp is rendering I move on to the next shot.

I have never looked at the entire shot as a preview because with a little experience you will know what it is going to look like and will not have to waste your time ram previewing several sections of the project over and over.

The final step is to check a few hero frames where the most important action happens at full resolution then send that comp to the AME or Renderer to render. Most of the time 90% of that work is done without ever running a preview. This is where the effects and the rest of the composite is added. I'm borrowing terms from traditional cell animators. When the motion is good I'll move to what I call ink and paint. That can be done with 25% magnification factor and renders quickly. The first step I call a pencil test and only the motion is added to the shot. My normal workflow for an animation heavy project like an explainer video or animated presentation is to break the script down into sentences or at most, short paragraphs that cover only one idea. Set your Composition Panel resolution to Auto, run the comp panel at 50% magnification factor whenever possible, test your animations with effects and motion blur turned off, limit the number of full resolution previews and most importantly, use AE to create shots you can't create in Premiere Pro or your favorite NLE, Do Not try and Edit sequences or videos in AE.

Learning how to work efficiently is the most effective way to speed up AE work.
