We are treating 3D workflows very seriously, and we realized that these iss= ues about image sequence handling have been a weak spot for 3D workflows. =20 ________________________________________ From: After Effects Mail List [AE-List@media-motion.tv] On Behalf Of Chris = Zwar [chris@chriszwar.com] Sent: Monday, February 04, 2013 2:26 PM To: After Effects Mail List Subject: Re: [AE] Supressing Check for Updated Footage This is good news, Working with image sequences is one of After Effects' weakest points. It i= s so infuriating to be working in AE with a sequence that is being overwrit= ten by a different machine - often it's completely unworkable. And it's so= mething that happens a lot - it's normal for a 3D pass to be rendered, revi= sed, re-rendered, revised etc etc and each time overwriting the same frames= . After Effects hates this and it shouldn't, the whole application doesn't ne= ed to freeze every time AE realises the sequence has changed. It's one of = the few things about AE that makes me want to throw the monitor out the win= dow. Any improvements in this department will be welcomed. -Chris On 05/02/2013, at 8:06 AM, Todd Kopriva wrote: > I just wanted to acknowledge that After Effects CS6 did take a step backw= ard in this regard, and we're treating fixing this as a high priority.
