How can you render a .wmv video file in After Effects without DRM protection, there doesn't seem to be an option when rendering.

UPDATE

This composition im rendering is basically a small animation i made from scratch, so i know im not rendering it with any pre-rendered files

  • Is it your own composition, or does it come from a DRM protected file?

  • What format are you using that has DRM protection on it? This is not a typical behavior of After Effects. Do you typically produce DRM protected media from the system?

I've never seen this kind of behavior in After Effects. I'm going to assume that you are using a system that is typically used for producing DRM protected media and that the default options for your Windows Media format are setup to use a DRM system. This would be part of the configuration of the encoder itself and should be available from the encoding and format options (not the exact name, I don't have AE on my current computer to check, but it's the setting right below quality level in the render queue.)

Without knowing the exact encoder being used, I can't really give any more direct feedback than that. If you can post the exact encoder being used and the version of AE, I can give some more specific instructions later when I am at my home desktop.

If you are using a Mac, you need to buy Flip for Mac Studio in order to be able to export wmv files. It costs $50. The more expensive version lets you export using two-pass encoding.

I don't you have an issue with DRM in After Effects when using this.
