Topic: Adobe After Effects Rendering Issue (Solved)

So basically, when I go to render some footage that has been rotoscoped in AE, the renderer often rotoscopes more than I tell it to. Like, when I try rotoscoping out some blue screen and then render it, there will be random other patches that AE chooses should also be rotoscoped, even when I didn't tell it to. Does anyone have an idea as to why? I'm thinking it may be the speed of my computer, and especially the ram. I have 4gb ram, and an intel i3-370m processor, without a graphics card. I'm rendering in 720p.
Thanks if anyone who might have a solution.

P.S. If you're wondering why I'm rotoscoping instead of croma-keying, it's cause there are minifigs wearing blue.

I have never encountered that problem before. That could be due to your render settings. What are they?

Well, I was just messing around with the rotoscoping part, and aparrently I wasn't giving the renderer enough info (wasn't saying where the foreground was enough). Anyways, I got the shot rendered, and hopefully won't have the problem again. Also, sorry for making this thread, when a little more testing fixed it. Also, thanks for the reply CI.

I've never had this happen to me either. I don't think it's a rendering issue though. Maybe it's how you rotoscoped it out. Does it mess up the rotoscope when you play it back in the preview or only in the final render?
