| Ahhh thanks very much for this. I just figured out that there are two different ways to select a custom time span: If you select 'custom' from the pull-down menu on the left (where it says 'time span') then it defaults the custom area to 0 and the length of the comp. This is the way I've always done it, it's become habit. And this is what has annoyed me by no longer using the work area as defaults. But I have only just noticed that there's also a 'custom' button on the right side of the render settings box, next to the three lines of text listing the start, end and duration times. If you click on this button then the work area is copied into the custom field. I never noticed that right-side button until tonight! At least I can stop complaining about the whole work-area thing now... I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks... -Chris On 13/03/2012, at 7:31 PM, Eric James Wood wrote: > Chris, > Seems odd. I am on cs5 on mac, and i just tested and custom is set to the work area, clicking it, has it stick to that range of frames. The only way i can get it to start at 0 and range thru to the end is if i add it to the que when the work area is set to the whole comp. > > Maybe you changed a pref for something else and it effected that?

Then you could change the work area, add to render queue, change it to 'custom' and continue on. I'm still using CS 5, and when you select 'custom' it defaults to in and out points of 0 and the comp length respectively. >> >> Has this been fixed with CS 5.5? If not, then it's something I will request again. I know that CS 5 was a major upgrade, but it's little changes like that that can really impact on your daily workflow. > > -- > <ericwood> > Helium14 | www.helium14.com > Design | Motion + Graphic > www.helium14.com > > 'the next best thing to knowing something, is knowing where to find it' > > > +---End of message---+ > To unsubscribe send any message to <ae-list-off@media-motion.tv> > |
