Using the Adobe render plug-in


    After Effects uses the included render plug-in to composite both RAM previews and output files. It is chosen by default. After selecting the 3D renderer, you still need to adjust your render and output settings through the Render Queue. For information on rendering After Effects files, see Using the Render Queue window.

    When rendering a composition that includes cameras, After Effects renders only the topmost, active camera in the Timeline window.

To use the After Effects 3D renderer:

  1. Select the composition you want to render and choose Composition > Composition Settings.
  2. Click the Advanced tab.
  3. Click the Rendering Plug-in list, choose Standard 3D, and click OK.
