I'm cross-posting this from the Cow:
I'm having an odd issue rendering out a composition. An animator completed the project in her own studio. I received the project file and all the assets, opened the animation successfully in AE CS5 on a Mac Pro (she was using CS4 on Windows). It looks fine. I can preview it in real-time, scrub through it, etc. etc.
However, when I go to render/export it, I'm only getting one parts of certain layers from one of the pre-comps and nothing else. Pretty much only the elements created in After Effect and none of the assets (all of which are Illustrator files - or rather layers from a single illustrator file) are coming through in the render
The odd thing is that I can reload the assets and the composition looks fine in the viewer, I can scrub through it etc. etc, however as soon as I go to render it the assets (although they look present) disappear. Every time I reload the project file, I need to reload the assets, but they still won't render.
Even if I bring the assets in anew and replace each item in each pre-comp and comp, the issue remains. The animator thinks it's some lingering issue with the CS4 to CS5 conversion.
Thanks a million for taking the time to read this - any help would be greatly appreciated.
