I havent been able to open anything in after effects properly for months. It makes my computer turn red hot in a very short time
From what I remember people didn’t think the effect was strong enough in the day shots and I only finished one cave close up with the new filter layers. The final design has 5 different Saber effect layers so it takes forever to do a few seconds.
Also, I’ve since re-ripped the bluray but worried about replacing the current file incase something goes wrong. This also means I’ll have to redo the source files on all after effects shots I’ve made including the crackling saber.
Does anyone know an easy way to replace source files that haven’t been nested? I’ve tried render and replace but the file is greyed out?
Dude, I’m so sorry to hear that things aren’t going well.
Knowing literally nothing about After Effects’ project structure, do you have access to the project save files you were working on? Depending on how much is left to do, maybe it’s possible to share the files with someone else, have them open them on their end (replicating your source file structure), and render the video for you?
