Create a composition and render source footage items simultaneously
You can simultaneously create a composition from source footage and prepare it for rendering. This process is useful when you want to change
some characteristic of the source footage, such as frame rate or compression method, and have that rendered version available in your project.
In After Effects CS6 and later, the Composition > Make Movie command has been removed. Use the Add to Render Queue command
instead.
1. Drag one or more footage items from the Project panel to the Render Queue panel, or select the footage items in the Project panel and do
one of the following:
Choose Composition > Add to Render Queue.
For After Effects CS5.5, and earlier, press Ctrl+Shift+/ (Windows) or Command+Shift+/ (Mac OS).
For After Effects CS6 and later, you can also press Ctrl+M (Windows) or Command+M (Mac OS).
If the Use System Shortcut Keys option is enabled in General preferences (Mac OS), the shortcut is Ctrl+Cmd+M.
2. After Effects creates both a new item in the render queue and a new composition in the Project panel for each footage item.
3. Adjust the render settings as desired, and click Render.
Introduce 3:2 pulldown
If you are creating output for film that’s been transferred to video, or if you want to simulate a film look for animation, use 3:2 pulldown. Footage
items that were originally film transferred to video and had 3:2 pulldown removed when imported into After Effects can be rendered back to video
with 3:2 pulldown reintroduced. You can introduce 3:2 pulldown by choosing one of five different phases. (See Remove 3:2 or 24Pa pulldown from
video.)
It is important to match the phase of a segment that had 3:2 pulldown removed if it will be edited back into the video footage it came from.
1. In the Render Queue panel, select the render item and then click the underlined text next to the Render Settings heading.
2. For Field Render, choose a field order.
3. For 3:2 Pulldown, choose a phase.
4. Select other settings as appropriate, and then click Render.
