Join Eran Stern for an in-depth discussion in this video Region of interest, part of After Effects Tips and Techniques: Shortcuts, Navigation, and Project Management.
The Region of Interest is an area that you can define…in your composition layer or footage item…that is rendered only for previews.…You can create small areas of Region of Interests in order…to use less processing power and memory when previewing.…Thereby you will be able to improve the interaction…and speed and you will increase the RAM preview duration.…I'm going to show you a couple of examples…how you may want to consider using this feature…and also the limitation of it.…
First in order to be familiarized with our composition,…I just want quickly describe what you are seeing.…There are a couple 3D layers over here,…and we have a couple of lights, and camera lights,…and of course the particle system that we are going…to explore in a later movie,…but note that I'm using the 3D Ray-traced Renderer here,…which allows me to actually extrude shape layers or text…and this is why we are seeing this real 3D extrusion.…
If you are going to take a look at this…from a different perspective,…you can see that this scene is real 3D,…
