AE CC Render Problems on OSX

When I try to render a large project (2hr 25min render time on an 8-core mac) (about 30 comps)
at some random point I am suddenly getting an error.   All peices seem to be there.  I can play the
project on the time line.  But if I set it to render it fails with this message .... not always in the same
spot.  I tried to render it in pieces but the same problem occurs.
Of course the message is totally useless.  I have tried several times and
it will fail if I AM NOT AT THE COMPUTER... but not when I am there to see
what is going on.  If I walk away the "complete" ding occurs and the project
fails to render.  (This could make you paranoid!)  I don't have time to babysit
the computer while it renders for 2-1/2 hours.
The only recent changes were.  Apple Security Update 2014-002 and AE CC
When I started having this problem, I updated to the latest version of AE on CC.
The problem still occured with the new version of AE.
I never saw this before the Apple update was applied.  In fact, the project
rendered fine the first time before the Apple update.  I just had a couple of fixes
for timing I needed. Very Strange. 
1920 x 1080p HDV
OSX 10.9.2  8-core 2.8 GHz, 16GB RAM
Any ideas?

Olaf, did you read my reply where I explained my solution? First you should try the steps outlined in the article Todd references:
http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2011/02/troubleshooting-quicktime- errors-with-after-effects.html
There seems to be a good way to isolate if it's the same issue I had, though. Let me go into a bit of depth for you.
The trick was to launch the OS X app called Console, located in Applications > Utilities. It is a program that compiles and displays the system logs in real time. It's great to see the little things happening in the system that don't make it into the user interface. When I had my Console up and generated that same error you're having, I noticed this error in the log:
The key here is the Adobe QT32 Server, which is mentioned in the TCP part of the article I linked to above from Todd. In my case at least, what was happening was that a third party app called AirServer was talking to the system's QuickTime over the same TCP ports the QT32 Server engine was trying, and it resulted in Adobe QT32 Server crashing, and that alert being thrown up in AfterEffects.
If you're in the same boat, it means you have some sort of app or system extension that is also talking to QuickTime over TCP. That may not make any sense, but the easy thing to do is quit ALL third party apps, then quit AE, then restart AE.
In my situation if AE gave me the error and then I quit AirServer, the error still happened because Adobe QT32 had already crashed. You have to relaunch AE after closing the offending third party app.
To be sure you've quit all third party apps, open Activity Monitor (Applications > Utilities), chose "My Processes" from the dropdown menu, and scan through the list to make sure. You don't have to recognize all the processes there, but you should be able to recognize any third party ones you put there.
Hope that helps!
Matt

  • Render problems

    Hi,
    I have serious render problems with Premiere CC. I't wont render at all. Crashes down every time with a window saying occurred serious problem...
    The file that i've been working on is heavy with AE direct links and above adjustment track.
    Im working station is Mac Pro Mac OSX 9.2.
    So I assume having this machine Premiere will run smooth.
    But on contrary I cant touch my files because it will crash down.
    Can anybody have any suggestions that are not exporting all my AE files as movie clips and reedit the whole video again.
    Thanks! 

    I am on Windows, but have a few saved Mac discussions that may help (or, may not... but free to read)

  • Canon 860 Series (Pixma) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips

    After spending several hours sorting out Canon Pixma OSX problems here are my thoughts:
    Canon 860 Series (Pixma 868) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips
    Problem:
    - New imac and MacBook Pro 2012 (OSX 10.8.2) had a problem using Canon Pixma 868 printer on network and would not scan or print using Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print), which has advanced scanning and photo printing functions. 
    - When I connected the canon printer to my imac, OSX 10.8.2 automatically downloaded and installed drivers for Canon 860 series printer. I could then add the new printer (select ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”) and printer would work while connected via USB but could not get to print or scan over network wifi. 
    - The original Canon 860 Series CD does not work with 10.8 and the manual / online instructions did not make sense (as based on CD install). 
    Solution:
    1) Install Canon Printer Drivers and Software (from official Canon site)
    Go to canon support site, review FAQ, then download and install following Pixma 860 Series software & drivers for OSX 10.8 (links see below). The version I downloaded is in brackets but check for updated version. Full instructions are below.
    Canon 860 Series Drivers & Software  for OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion:
    The base software and drivers needed for using Canon 860 Series on Mac OS X 10.8 (USB) are
    1 Printer Driver
    (Canon MX860 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.67.1.0 (03-Aug-2012))
    2 Scanner Driver
    (Canon MX860 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.11.4a (03-Aug-2012))
    3 Network Tool
    (Canon IJ Network Tool Ver. 4.1.0 for Intel Mac (27-Dec-2012)
    Canon Software for using advanced printing and scanning functions (while connected to network)
    4 Solution Menu
    (Canon Solution Menu Ver. 1.4.1 (27-Jul-2012 ))
    5 MP Navigator EX
    (Canon MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 (02-Auf-2012))
    6 Easy-PhotoPrint EX
    (Canon Easy-PhotoPrint EX Ver. 4.1.6 (21-Jan-2013 ))
    Canon Support (HK) – check your local site
    http://www.canon.com.hk/en/download/main/index.do
    Select Product and drivers from support site eg http://support-hk.canon-asia.com/
    1. Choose a product category
    Multifunctional Printers
    2. Choose a product series
      Pixma
    3. Choose a product model
      Pixma MX868
    4. Choose type of document
    Downloads or FAQ
    If you have problems installing the software under 10.8, see the FAQ on Canon site. You will need to allow software installs from “unidentified developers by using “Control” Key or by changing your system preferences)
    2) Check Canon Printer and Software Working while connected via USB
    Once you have downloaded and installed drivers and software and restarted computer, check that the printer and Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print) are working via USB.  Open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App) and make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it shows the correct SSID Wifi settings (under the Canon IJ Network Tool App ‘Setup menu’).  This is normally done as part of the automatic install but worth double checking
    3) Add new network printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”).
    After you have checked USB printing turn off printer, unplug the USB cable and shutdown the Canon IJ Network Tool App.
    Then turn the printer back on and wait 30s. Then add a new printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”). Once you select “+” (add new printer), wait 10-30s for the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer to appear in the new window eg Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) (Kind: “Canon IJ Network”)
    DO NOT ADD THE MX 860 SERIES BONJOUR SCANNER (the Bonjour Scanner is the built-in software, is not needed and often appears first on the add printer list).  The Canon scanner can be accessed used through the MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 software (which has much better functions)
    You will now have two Printer Canon MX860 (USB) and Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network). Set the Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network) as default and test print and scan
    If the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer does not appear, check the printer and make sure that the printer can see the wifi network. On the printer select Menu / Settings / Device Settings / Lan Settings / WLAN Setting List.  It should say WLAN Active, identify the SSID and have an IP address
    If the printer can not see the Wifi Network, plug the USB cable back in, then open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App). Make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it has your SSID settings (under setup), if it has this info, restart the computer and the printer and try again

    Hi, thaks for response, meant to post as a discussion (not question), wanted to save others time if they get the same problem

  • I am having a problem reinstalling osx.

    I am having a problem reinstalling osx. Disk utility reports the following disk errors:
    1. Unused node is not erased.
    2. Volume bitmap needs monor repair for orphaned blocks
    I have tried verifying and repairing disks and get message that it cannot be repaired after 3 attempts.  Anyone encountered anything like this?
    Thanks,
    Rich.

    Clean the bottom of the installer disk carefully with a soft cloth and a little bit of rubbing alcohol to take off the fingerprints, don't touch the bottom or let it get damaged.
    Once it's dry then stick it in the MacBook
    Hold c and reboot off the installer disk and use Disk Utility under the menu to select the hard drive makers name, then Erase tab (format HFS+ journaled) Security Option > Zero All Data and click Erase....
    This will erase all the partitions on the drive and also map off all bad sectors, takes some time.
    Once done quit and use the installer to install OS X.
    If it fails it could be the disk is bad.

    MR.Eric please help ?
    i have problem in osx 10.8 i cannot see the encoding option while connecting to the my pc server ?
    this option was in osx 10.6 see it  here 
    because if i create any file in Arabic name from osx 10.8 the others old mac os  see it only in unreadable letters ?
    please help
    thanks

    Aw geez, they sure have messed up OSX.
    Do you have a backup of 10.8.2?
    Maybe...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • System problem - MAYBE OSX related...?

    I have no definitive answer or resolution thus far for this
    problem in the forums and wanted to re-summarize it here, one more time, to see if anyone has
    any other suggestions before i toss in the towel on self-repair efforts and invest in Apple Service.
    Problem:
    On a dual MDD G4 1.25, which i normally boot/use OS 9 on)
    there is now a system 'hang time' of anywhere from 15-25 secs. in various circumstances including:
    On boot-up, just after the Finder has loaded, I can move the mouse cursor but the Mac won't respond to clicks for up to 15-20 secs. Then, the "buffered clicks" get executed at once.
    This hang time also occurs within certain applications, and on startup of IE Explorer there is an abnormal delay between the Open command and completion of startup cycle(opening to Home Page).
    At first it appears a system freeze, but then ultimately system interactivity resumes eventually.
    This machine is on a high-end Tripp-Lite power conditioner in a recording studio.
    The problem seemed to begin after a day where i had multiple power fluctuations/outages requiring cold reboot several times.
    I have swapped out both 512 Dimms and tried running with each separately and the problem remained.
    TechTools has been run, OSX Permission Repairs run/re-run..
    and i've done an OS 9-only "restore/reinstall" of that
    System. I also ran a defragmentation off of techtools.
    Memory 'tested' as okay.
    My internal HD is a 160g, one partition.
    Since the problem occurs within OS 9 and i did reinstall that system, i would tend to think that rules out the System.
    I can't detect any similar problem under OSX!
    Things tried that didn't resolve it:
    Emptying Servers Folder in the System Folder. Desktop Rebuild, PRAM/NVRAM resets, VM Off, Extensions OFF restart, (no change), Startup Items Folder/Prefs Folder EMPTIED and restart; no change. All Devices (USB/Firewire & Cable Modem, Keyboard/Mouse) disconnected/Restart; no change.
    MemTest run on Dimms; Reported as OK.
    Is there any point in reinstalling Sys software given all
    this, or any ideas on what else to try?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Ron, I did, (conflicting opinions about Norton notwithstanding) run a Volume/Directory test from NDD (it is
    a cumbersome process given that Norton must be on a separate computer and the machine in question must be in target-firewire mode to "access" the OS 9 System Folder - since the Norton app will not startup on the MDD machine...
    "Apparently," it was able to process a test and no errors
    were reported after running it, or, Tech Tools, on that System Folder.
    I appreciate the idea. Not sure if there's an easier way to 'get at' the folder off a Norton Utilities disk as long as it resides in the peculiar dual-boot environment which presents a variety of challenges for anyone seeking to run any type of OS 9 diagnostics from a non OSX-based startup disk... not to mention the screwy reinstall/restore configuration of this particular Apple incarnation's install disk "set."
    To put it bluntly, Mac really went out of its way to discourage any OS 9 loyalists with their "last OS 9 machine"
    --but i digress....
    Thanks
    Mike

  • Has CS6 fixed the PPro with AE dynamic links slow to render problems?

    I've got PPro with AE dynamic links slow to render problems similar to those discussed in this thread:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/904652?start=0&tstart=0
    As I understand it (and I could well be wrong), if I render a PPro project that has AE projects dynamically linked in (anything from simple lower thirds to color grading), during rendering the AE bits run as a service, which limits the AE bits to a single CPU and effectively stops simultaneous rendering of multiple frames. This is why I can get very high render times (essentially no parallel processing), and why messing with the number of CPUs allowed for simultaneous frame rendering, or the amount of RAM said CPUs can access, has little to no effect on total render time.
    Supposedly as some point AE was going to be changed such that it used Media Encoder to do it's rendering (same as PPro does), thus speeding up rendering for any PPro project that has AE parts dynamically linked in.
    Has this been done in CS6? If not, any idea when that's scheduled to happen?

    (I do wish Adobe staff would keep this distinction mind when creating their videos.  When I saw one about the new background rendering in PP, I was interested, only to learn that he was actually talking about background exporting, a feature PP has had since AME was introduced in CS4.)
    The distinction is not so distinct, and this is an industry issue, not really Adobe. After Effects has a render queue, which is used for exporting, but you can also export. Lightwave has this, even Avid. The terms do have their own distinct meanings, but of course context is usually required. So usually "rendering previews" or "rendering final output" serve as context-sensitive uses of the term.
    Terminology abuse is widespread, even people with video cameras now call themselves "filmmakers" and people who produce films never shown nor intended for a cinema call themselves "cinematographers." ENG video producers are called "photogs" and news photographers are called "photojournalists."
    Transcoding, encoding, rendering, exporting....mish-mashed unfortunately, but thankfully most people can figure out what's meant.
    Back to the OP - After Effects can be used with Adobe Media Encoder, it's just not the default. You can import any composition into AME from AE and render your encoded export.
    As for background rendering....I remember when Pinnacle Liquid was the first to the table with that feature back in 2004 or 2005. It seemed awesome, except that you needed a ton of spare hard drive space and lots of processing to keep the background rendering going...effecitvely your processor was in use 100% of the time. When you weren't scrubbing or playing back, Liquid was rendering previews. Of course, you could use those previews during export but you rarely would have wanted to do so, since it was better quality to reference the original data when compositing the layers and effects to output to a web file, for instance. Then  you had to keep cleaning up the preview cache.
    I rarely render previews at all, and when I do it's just a small segment at a time, just to get a full look at the final composite. Mercury Playback is usually more than capable of playing back most of my edits the rest of the time.

  • Render problems and fed up with after effects

    Hi all,
    I'm I the middle of trying to do a very simple pan and scan corporate video, the crux being its in stereoscopic 3D. First I've tried using cineform plug ins and have had numerous problems and basically don't think highly of their product. Since after effects has plug ins for stereoscopic I've moved to try and use them. All seems to be going alright for most of the footage. But I'm have some issues with a very import pant part of one video.
    My set up
    Mac 2x2.4 GHz Quad-core Intel Xeon
    12GB of ram
    Mac OSX 10.7.2
    ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB
    NVIDEA Quadro 4000 2048MB
    After Effects CS5.5 (10.5.0.253)
    630GB free on 1TB boot drive
    1.8TB free on 3TB external drive 1
    100GB free on 3TB external drive 2
    My comp is 7 layers. Duration 1:46:00 output is Side by Side
    Layer 1- animation with alpha clip. Opacity is keyframed to do a 'dissolve' at the beginning and end of the clip. TC in 53:11, out 1:05:01
    Layer 2- comp. stereoscopic 3D. Made from using a camera and Create Stereo 3D Rig. It's a mask of the earth in space. 1:46:00
    Layer 3- animation with alpha clip. Opactiy keyframed same as layer 1. Clip aniamtionwas done in the original comp. TC in 1:25:09, out 1:45:10.
    Layer 4- animation with alpha clip. Opacity key framed same as layer 1. Clip aniamtionwas done in the original comp.TC in 1:03:2,' out 1:16:10.
    Layer 5- animation with alpha clip. Opacity key framed same as layer 1. Clip aniamtionwas done in the original comp.TC in 31:12, out 48:11.
    Layer 6- animation with alpha clip. Opacity key framed same as layer 1. Clip aniamtionwas done in the original comp.TC in 6:06, out 21:14.
    Layer 7- animation codec clip. 1:46:00 duration.
    Now when I attempt to render this out to a ProRes 422 file so that I can join it up with the other footage in Primeire Pro, I basically sit around for 2 hours and then I get a nice little dialog box stating "an output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464).
    This is maddening to say the least.
    Other issues
    After Effects basically is Pathetically slow in rendering out a ProRes or Animation or any type of mov file. A simple 30sec clip takes 1 hour 47 minutes. All the clip contains is a tiff left eye and right eye and the 3D glasses plug in. That's it. I know my system isn't the biggest out there (I bought what I could afford). But these render times are ludicrous. If I turn of the multiprocessing it doesn't help. I have the openGL turned on. That doesn't seems to do anything. I have it set up to use 10Gb of ram, yet the system says I'm only using 37% of my ram, none of my processors and I have no idea about the graphics card. Am I totally missing something about how after effects actually does rendering? I'm from the old school of Jaleo and Shake and Nuke. However I set out on my own as a freelancer and I can't really afford Nuke (besides I don't like that it doesn't have a timeline). So I purchased Adobe production premium thinking it can do the job I want, however it seems to act like a spoilt brat software. Yes im ranting had really having thoughts of buyers remorse.
    If anyone out there has any advice or thoughts on how to get this to work I'd be more than grateful to hear from you.
    Cheers
    James

    That doesn't seems to do anything. I have it set up to use 10Gb of ram, yet the system says I'm only using 37% of my ram,
    AE only takes what it needs, as do any programs with dynamically managed memory. It's not cramming everything into RAM when it doesn't have to.
    none of my processors
    Secondary processors/ cores will only be used, if you enable the sad excuse that is the "Render multiple Frames simultanuously" feature. As Todd suggested, read that article on "optimum" settings. Just keep in mind that what works well for one project may not work at all for the next one when the balance of footage I/O vs. pixel processing vs. memory consumption changes. You're gonna learn to really hate this...
    I have no idea about the graphics card
    AE doesn't use it for the most part. Even if you enable all of the hardware acceleration features, AE may turn them off behind your back, one such condition being the use of MP rendering. Can't have both. Conversely, MP rendering might be turned off just the same, if specific effects or features are used. That's also expleianed in teh help. Your only chance of halfway benefiting from hardware acceleration is buying some third-party plug-ins that have their own implementations of OpenGL and CUDA. Still, since you use two different cards i nyour system, that may also be problematic...

  • AfterEffects CS5 Rotobrush/Render Problem

    Hey guys,
    So I'm having a problem with a Rotoscope I'm rendering out of AE CS5 for a client/internship (ie: starwars/E.T./Planet Terror/Space Cowboys).
    I'm on Mac OSX. 10.5.8 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
    The goal of this shot was to put Angel wings behind the actor, using the  Rotobrush tool in AE to remove the actor and get the wings behind him.
    I've successfully made an initial draft. Using position, opacity and  scaling in AE. And have put the wings behind the actor (not shown above)
    Here is my issue:
    The roto (above) appears fine working IN aftereffects. But when I render  the wings overlap the arms on a couple frames, as you can see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pFk0B4mLmA
    This is a 1st draft. In AE those 'overlaps' of the wings over the arms don't appear. I've tried adjusting/redoing those frames with the rotobrush to no avail.  I still get the same  result.
    Do any of you know what the problem could be? Any help, suggestions would be incredibly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Warner

    Depending on the shot (if he flaps his arms or not), this should be pretty easy to do with Mocha. The lines are pretty clean and well defined.
    Draw a shape for each bicep. Motion track. Draw a shape for the chest. Motion track. Draw a shape for the shoulders. Motion track. Draw more shapes to fill out the remaining shapes and attach to the tracked motion. Adjust as needed. The key to good rotoscoping is not to try to do everything in one shape.

    I've got the Audiotron working again. I found some info on basically opening the entire share to guest access. Reference this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=392697
    I tried changing "encrypt passwords" (global section) to "no" and that didn't help. Then I added this to the music share and everything works. Probably not the best security solution, but I'm behind a firewall.
    In /etc/smb.conf added for the music share:
    public = yes
    only guest = no
    writable = no
    printable = no
    (I still left "encrypt passwords = no" in the global section. I'm not sure if that made a difference or not.)

  • HT1338 Solutions to Mail problems in OSx 10.8.4?

    Since installing OSx 10.8.4 I have been experiencing problems using the Mail client in the normal manner.
    1) Screen freezes at odd times when preparing new emails. Cursor seems to lock-up, and will not clear or restart with any conventional soft controls via the keyboard.
    2) This problem with Mail also seems to directly affect overall Mac performance. It makes the screen go Black, although the Mac is still working in every other sense.  It also makes the Mac crash for no apparent reason - but only when Mail is live on the Dock!
    3) When Mail is not on the Dock, NONE OF THIS HAPPENS, and the Mac works 100% ok in every respect in an ongoing normal manner.
    4) When I reinstall Mail on the Doc
    Question is - Has anyone else experiencing this or similar problems?  Has this been investigated or is it being worked on by Apple?
    Await any and all responses with great interest - especially from experts at Apple.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • XML Publisher Render Problem

    The problem started since the first time I tryed to render one of the examples
    in the XML Publisher...example: Executive - Sales Dashboard. Since the first time, when I try to view the result, the screen shows me this problem:
