: How to limit number of frames when exporting Aftereffects as image sequence? I am very new to Aftereffects and need to know - I have succeeded in exporting my animation as an image sequence

BE CAREFUL: IM USING AFTER EFFECTS CS4 (coz im broke). YOUR WINDOWS MAY VARY TO MINE. (i hope it doesnt) YOU'VE BEEN WARNED

When dealing with long compositions, you could always resize your Work Area and Trim Comp to Work Area, making your animations shorter but when you're not careful, it might cut some of the animation either in the beginning or the end of the comp.

Since I don't know if you've found your way out of things, pictures are provided



You could also do this on Render Settings on the Render Queue Tab > Render Settings > Time Sampling Box > The "Custom" button at the right of the Start, End, Duration Times



You could also reduce your FPS (frames per second) in the Render Settings at the Render Queue Tab (you need to add the comp to the render queue) but when you'll render these into a full video, you might notice constant stutters as if it was laggy.



You could also change it in the Composition Settings in the Composition > Composition Settings albeit a more destructive method



Mix these things together and you'll reduce your rendered images even more. Be careful though.

I'm new here and I don't know the standards of answering questions. I hope this helps you and good luck with your project!
