I haven`t worked with the type of files you`re mentioning, but to get around the settings-issue in Vegas, I´d try deleting the video-tracks, save the project under a new name(to be safe;) and then render the audio.

Sean, without looking at the comp, it's kinda difficult to say what's causing an outline to appear. Perhaps you can try Silhouette Alpha instead. And if that doesn't work, post screencaps of your timelines and comp panel.

Thank you Roland
u solved the problem... I am still getting a outline around the arrow that i can't get rid of.. Tried
making the luma layer bigger but it actually made the problem worse. Any suggestions??

Silhouette Luma will cut a hole for all layers below. Thus, you have to breakdown your routine into two separate comps - one with the silhouette and its intended effect and another comp where you place a copy of the silhouette comp over your desired | | | | |

I see that you're using the command line render. Such a render, commonly known as 'headless', defaults to using the CPU instead of the GPU. Walter's recommendation is the way to go, to force headless renders to use the GPU.

Your settings look OK to me. CS6 has better memory handling. Perhaps an upgrade will help.
Having said that, with DOF and MB on, try a memory setup with fewer cores but more RAM per core. The rationale is that a compute-intensive comp will be slow | | | | |

Hi Roland,
Thnx. It is selected and works fine when I start a render from the GUI. It is only when I am using AeRender.exe from the command line that it doesn't work. | | | | |

Try and work with another AEP to see if you have the same issues. This simple procedure will let you know if your issues is AE or the comp/layers. If problems persist with other AEPs/comps then trash preferences.

It's going to take a long time and if you've not done stuff like this before there is a 90% chance that it'll turn out bad. If there isn't a budget to outsource this then perhaps a cleaned up freeze frame coupled with the SOT will suffice.

The helmet and the bike's body are good shapes for a planar track.
With Version3 of mochaAE and mochaPro, you can also camera solve a scene and include points for moving objects as shown in this video -

All I can tell from the image is that the text doesn't look good. You'll of course have to finesse the settings to get it to look good. Other than that, do you have any specific issues/questions.

Hi Sasha, it's quite impossible to visualize what you are trying to achieve, based on your description. Perhaps a simplified (2-4 objects/layers) version of what you're trying to accomplish may help us to zero in on your issue and its solution.

AE's ray-tracing feature is based on nVidia's OptiX ray-tracing technology. I'm doubtful that it'll find it's way into other manufacturer's GPUs. The best bet is to get a ray-tracing supported GPU or wait for AE's CPU rendering of its ray-tracing eng | | | | |
