You’re talking about Skydome, right? I wrote it!

Thanks Carlos. Glad you like Skydome

No, it’s all live. No pre-renders at all. The large file size is the video user guide!

Thanks for the nice comment, Bacek. It’s always nice to hear it from a customer!

Oops… yeah – the (Empty reference) in the html link to the Audiojungle page. The link should still take you to the right web page though.

Thanks for pointing that out. I’ll update it when I get a moment.

Hi Video Man,

Have a look at the FAQ on my user page…. http://videohive.net/user/felt_tips

Cycore plug-ins are on your original install disk (or download) of After Effects and chances are that you already have them installed. My FAQ tells you how to check for this. If they’re not installed, then you just need to go back to your install disk and install them.

The only time you won’t have Cycore plug-ins is if you are using the 30 day demo version of After Effects. Cycore is not included in the demo version.

Full res (1920×1080), full quality, motion blur on. About 4 hours if I remember correctly.

That’s on an 8-core Mac / 16gb RAM / AE CS4

That sounds a lot like an internal After Effects project. It’s not a message I’ve ever come across.

If you’re having trouble, the best method for rendering is to render to an image sequence. That way, if you do have to bail out half way, you can just pick up where you left off. At the end, you convert the image sequence to a movie format.

There’s a whole tutorial about rendering to image sequences here: http://vimeo.com/12875270 plus a few tips about optimizing your system settings and renders in AE.

Drop me a line via my user page if you’re still having trouble.

Just read my own message back to see if you’d replied and noticed my typo! When I said an internal After Effects project, I meant an internal After Effects error of course!

Haven’t heard back, so hopefully there was a tip or two in the rendering tut that did the trick.
