dumb question...is the reason for my problem because I am trying to use it STAND-ALONE when I should only use it from After Effects?

Hi Bill.

I'd suggest upgrading to the current version of ProAnimator - currently at v4.5.1. There were issues in previous versions when trying to copy the temporary render file to the final file name.

Note: If the final file name is Animation.mov, we render to Animation.mov@ and then rename it to Animation.mov once the animation is complete.
