Hello folks.. first post here...
I am making animations for a client.
They're basically "Ken Burns" style animations of photographs. (where I 'move' the camera over and around the image to 'animate' it).
So:
I open a new AE file;
I make a new composition;
I drop all the images (from 25-100 photos/jpegs) onto the timeline.
I animate each photo.
Since I want to keep using the same time markers, all my photos are one under another, each under their own layer.
(Here's a screenshot in case my description is confusing)..
So.. my question is...
How can I automate After Effects so that, for example;
Layer 1 will render, and after it's done, it will turn itself off, so Layer 2 will begin rendering now, and so on and so on.
I know there MUST be a way to do this... I just can't seem to find it anyway.. I have Googled the entire universe... Adobe metions that Professional can do it.. I have professional version 6.5... but I can't seem to find any other info...
Any help would be greatly appreciated... Thanks.
