When diagnosing a failed render the first thing you should look for is the difference between the failed project and one that is successful. What is different? What changed?
Before we can get any idea of why these renders are failing we need to know the encoding settings and the type of source footage. Encoding Failed does not tell us anything useful in diagnosing the problem. If your AE project is using effects or footage that is clogging up memory or has some other problem then we should know about your AE comp as well. That means we need to know what version of AE you are using, what effects are applied, and anything else that is different in the project that fails and a simple project that does not.

  • How do I export a video from After Effects CC to an iPhone? I'm using a PC.

    How do I export a video from After Effects CC to an iPhone? I'm using a PC.

    Short answer, there is no simple "export to iPhone", but if you just want to have a movie that you can watch on you iPhone, just send yourself an attachment via email (other than .avi) and save it to your phone.
    You can also use dropbox as an option.
    With an app, you could mount your iPhone as an external drive. (check out iExplorer)
    Also: check AME for h264 variations before you send it to yourself.  There are presets for iPhone compression.

  • Camera rotation problem when exporting a camera from After Effects CC to Cinema 4D 15

    Looking around, this problem is happening to a few people, with no satisfactory solution.
    Basically, when I export an AE camera / project into C4D, everything looks great... till I notice that the camera's horizon will jump a few times.... so that if it were tilted 20 degrees to the left, it will pop to be tilted 20 degrees to the right.
    It's definitely not in the footage- it's a simple walk down a hallway. The AE track is fine- it's only in the C4D track that the problem arises.
    I've tried creating new AE projects, re-exporting, etc. I'm running AE CC and C4D 15.
    Anyone ever figure out how to fix / get around this?
    Thanks!

    It's 13.2.0.49... I just installed it yesterday.
    C4D is R15.008
    I'm wondering if I would have the same issue with C4D Lite, but I can't figure out how to open it (I assume it downloaded with AE). Rather than launch Lite, AE seems to automatically find C4D 15 and open that.
    I've been using AE and C4D for over 15 years, so I'm quite familiar with both. The bug is odd and quite disappointing, as I bought this version of AE specifically so that I could track footage and export the camera info into C4D.
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

  • Using Adobe Media Encoder to create H.264, MPEG-2, and WMV videos from After Effects - 6/23/14

    Very disappointed with this choice. I will definitely be seeking to uninstall this version and go back a version or two. Two many extra steps to export an mp4 now. And now we also have to wait longer for a mp4 to render and can't take advantage of the machine's hardware? You guys fighting mp4 as a standard, forcing us to an additional product, or what? I'll be sharing my extreme disappoint with this 'upgrade' with the rest of the developers at work and who just had it installed. I'm not seeing this being too popular opn social media either. Seems like you only did what was best for you.Thanks for showing us who's boss.

    Not necessarily. You can render an intermediate codec with AE's render queue (thus using all of AE's power to render) and then drop that file into the Adobe Media Encoder.
    This was the workflow I've always used - even when AE could encode with MP4. Why? Well, because AE sucked at MP4 encoding. You couldn't even do multipass endoding with it!
    This is a useful workflow in a few ways:
    1. You have an archive-quality file to come back to in the future.
    2. You can use AE's full power to render.
    3. You can use AME's superior encoding capabilities.
    4. You can tweak your compression settings and try various encoding parameters to improve the quality while decreasing the bitrate of your product WITHOUT having to re-render the AE comp every time you try since you're working off of the intermediate file. I mean, imagine a comp with several 3d layers, depth of field, shadows from multiple lights, and 250,000 particles from Particular. What if you made an MP4 and then the client needed a smaller file size or the MP4 you made was too heavily compressed and you needed higher quality? I don't know about you, but I'd much rather only render that 18-hour monster once.
    This workflow actually saves time for many people.
    And, in any workflow, this produces a better product.
    Again, this is what I did even when AE could encode MP4's.
    Frank VA wrote:

    They aren't fighting MP4 as a standard, in fact, when Adobe folks pop in here and answer questions, that's often their recommendation for delivery codec.

    Listen, I understand your frustration. Knocking out a quick compressed file from AE for client review is handy.
    However, maintaining the h.264 encoding in AE took up development time. There are only so many person-hours per week for the (relatively tiny) AE team to spend on building each version of AE.
    I never liked AE's h.264 encoding - AME has always done a superior job. Since we have AME to do our encoding, I would rather the AE team focus their effort on improving AE as a compositing and motion graphics tool rather than as an encoding tool.
    Again, I get the frustration. I can see where it feels like they are doing what's good for them and not us, but I think, in the long run, this way is better for us. Right now, the majority of the AE team is working on making AE faster to work with and faster to render. The sooner we get a relatively bug-free version of that, the better! (Especially for folks on Mac OSX Yosemite who can't RAM preview smoothly in any version of AE).
    And at least the After Effects team has been very transparent about things - for example, this blog post talks about their reasoning: using Adobe Media Encoder to create H.264, MPEG-2, and WMV videos from After Effects

  • Problem when exporting movie, video stops after 2 minutes

    I set up a Project containing both images and videos. They were all shot using a digital camera (Canon SD400).
    When I export the 5 minute movie, around 2 minutes the video freezes, but the music (from an mp3 file) keeps playing. At 2 minutes one of the videos start to play and the video has a little yellow button showing on it in the timeline. None of the other videos have this little yellow button, although I am not convinced that this is the one causing the problem. Here is an image of it:
    http://dombovari.com/stuff/imovie.png
    Any ideas why the video playback would stop when I export it? It plays fine in iMovie when I preview the project, but when exporting, the video playback stops.
    Thanks!

    I have this very same problem. All 640x480 clips shot with a Canon SD550. iMovie 5 will play back everything fine in iMovie, but once I export the file using H.264 or MPEG-4, the video stops after about 30 seconds (of the 3 and half minutes of the video). The music still plays, but the video has not exported properly (and it shows in the file size).
    What WILL work is if you export it to web, but I can't use that. I need it exported at its full quality. (Also will not work, by the way.) But, again, it plays in iMovie just fine. I even tried exporting from the timeline file (with the reference media files) in the iMovie file package—but I get the exact same results.
    Quite frustrating considering it works in iMovie just fine. Any other ideas, folks?

  • What are the best setting to export video from after effects to get the best video quality ?

    Hi
    I am editing a raw time lapse in after effects and also some short video clips I would like to export them from after effects and upload them online afterwards but i get a bit lost in exporting settings and formats and mbps..
    What are the best settings to export a video and get best quality(high) in full hd 1080 ? in 4k ? and what would be the best setting to export animations/logo/intro and get best quality ?
    Thank you very much.

    Thanks for reply !
    I used until now quicktime in H264 codec was that OK ?
    two more questions :
    what are the export settings for 4k files for web/you tube ?
    to play on my PC using  windows media player or Quicktime player and getting the best quality ?
    Thanks in advance.

  • SSRS XML Errors when exporting to .xlsx from Dynamics NAV Database

    We use Dynamics NAV for our ERP and have many SSRS reports.  We get xml Errors when exporting to Excel .xlsx.  I've seen this happen since SQL 2008 R2 and have posted in many places trying to find an answer, but was hoping MS would solve the
    issue.  The numeric data types in the Dynamics NAV database are all decimal(38,20) and when the value is zero the Excel renderer throws the errors. 
    We now have over 400 reports and we export them to Excel 2003 format. I'm starting to feel like this is my new Y2K issue when Excel 2003 is set to sunset.  I'm fearing that I'll have to do conversions on all numeric data types for all reports. 
    Both of these are Microsoft products so I'm wondering is this even on their radar.
    We're running SQL Server 2012 SP2, and just rolled out CRM 2015 on SQL Server 2014.  I get the errors in SSRS 2008R2, 2012, and 2014.  Has anyone seen this before?

    Hi Skywalker73,
    According to your description, when you export the report to Excel, the error “Excel was able to open the file by repairing or removing the unreadable content.” throws out when opening the Excel file.
    Based on my research, it has reported the same issue when exporting to Excel. The issue could cause by numeric columns has  a precision of 16 or higher. To fix the issue, we could change data type in the table to a support lower precision, or convert
    the numbers in the stored procedure that populates the report. For more information, please refer to this article:
    SSRS 2012 Bug – “Excel found unreadable content”. Besides, please refer to this
    article to check if non-printing characters exist in the report.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
    Best regards,

  • When exporting a .wmv in After Effects 5 the export adds additional black/Blank frames at the end

    We are experiencing an issue where we or a client provides us with a video that is a .wmv video, exported from After Effects 5 and it adds almost a second of data less video.
    What I mean by data less is the video renders out as WMV, 30FPS, 24 Bitrates (No audio) that is say 7 seconds long within After Effects. The moment it is rendered/exported, it is 8 seconds and shows 8 seconds in any program we import it to. That last second is empty, there is no frames, not even black frames, and when you preview the video in any program, you see the scrub bar, drop about 1 second before the actual end of the timeline.
    I opened the video in Camtasia, and you can clearly see that at the end, it shows in the timeline (Video Editor), however there is no actual video.
    I import the video in my company’s software, and I move the frame scrubber at the end, it says 'Unable to retrieve the requested video frame.'. If we import it to our software, it sees no frames for that second, and automatically loops and adds the first second of the video to the end.
    Typically we only import uncompressed AVIs, but would like to know what this issue is.
    Windows 7 Enterprise
    64bit OS
    After Effects 5

    I 100% agree about not being a fan of .WMV. We only recently added .wmv video support to our own program our clients use for importing videos and graphics. Our customer only used .wmv because it was on our list, and we are running into this issue.
    Two different users (our own Graphic Artist, and our clients Graphic Artist) and we get the same result. We are 100% certain there is no video framerate mismatch in either of the AE files.
    It would be interesting to see if anyone else using AE, if they could make a video few seconds long, export as a WMV and see if another program shows a whole extra second at the end, that has no data.
    Thanks for your responses thus far.

  • Problems exporting Animation codec from After Effects CS3 to FCP

    Hi,
    I wonder if anybody can help: I am having troubles with video transfer from After effects CS3 to FCP 6
    my workflow is to edit and export in FCP as quicktime movie - work on the clip in AE and then export as Animation/best quality/Millions of colors+. The footage is SD Pal 1024 x 576.
    the problem is that the files don't seem to play back properly in quicktime - very jagged and lots of ghosting. I assume this is due to the memory heavy features of the codec.
    However any file over 10 seconds will not be imported into FCP natively and a message reads final cut pro does not support this file type.
    I overcame this by opening the clip in quicktime and then exporting again with exactly the same settings - this then reads in FCP - although this seems over the top
    I now want to work with a 10 min finished comp in FCP but when I try to do this it picks up the ghosting that had appeared when playback in quicktime. However when rendered/ exported from the FCP timeline it retains the ghosting
    in short I can burn a successful DVD of the footage as is from AE but it is not suitable to FCP.
    I have tried exporting the clip in quicktime as quicktime DV pal but this retains the ghosting. Is this a hard ware problem or is my work flow wrong?
    thanks
    Paul

    Converting from A to B means either a lossy conversion or a significant increase in storage requirements (up to 5x with DV as the starting point). You are best served with keeping conversions to a minimum.

  • "The importer reported a generic error" when trying to import an After Effects file into Premiere.

    Currently quite new to using both pieces of software - I'm trying to grab a file, either a save or an export, from After effects into Premiere. I've googled around, but I can't find anyone with a similar problem with it being an AE file.
    Just looking for some advice on what to do.

    Okay so I've searched around most of this forum and as much of Google as I could find - I have found similar problems, but nothing exactly the same; and none of the solutions I've found have worked for me. I've seen a lot of people having trouble connecting to the DL server on the file-selection window, but I don't even get that far - an error message just pops up in the middle of my screen - and my error doesn't mention a server, just that it can't connect to AE DL.
    I changed firewall software (which I've wanted to do for months, anyway) and still to no avail.
    As for the "The importer reported a generic error" problem also, I can't find any problems or solutions with After Effects files not being able to be imported.

  • Exporting Transparent Background From After Effects

    I am working on a FCP project which I have also made an animated lower third in After Effects. However, I do not know how to export from after effects preserving the transparent background- it always just ends up as being black...

    From AE, you must use the Animation codec set to millions of colors+

  • Error when exporting HD video in CS3

    I need help figuring out why I get errors each time I try to export my video in Premiere Pro CS3. It worked a few days ago for my rough cut, but now is not working for my fine cut.
    I wonder if it is simply because of my machine's capabilities in working with HD. I'm editing on a Macbook Pro, OS X (10.5.8), 2.5 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB of RAM. I want to exporting my 3:45 clip using Quicktime, H.264 as the codec and resolution at 1280x720, square pixels.
    I've tried changing the settings in various ways but each time get an "unknown error." I've also had this error: "Out of memory. To maximize available memory, set the rendering optimization preferences to 'memory.'" Alas, I changed this setting, but even after closing & re-opening the project, still got this error... Strange?
    I have come as far as getting a minute's worth of the video exported. Another problem I see is that the video seems to skip over some of the stills I have in the sequence. Does this mean I would want to use the Animation codec?
    Any help is much appreciated! I have yet to try exporting via the Media Encoder, I plan to do this asap.
    Thanks.

    If you're using only a single internal drive, try exporting to an external drive, especially if the one drive you have is full or nearly so.

  • Error when importing photos/videos from iphone 4 into Picassa.....

    When attempting to import photos and videos from iphone 4 into Picassa (v3.8) I get the following error message:
    "An error has occurred while attempting to import. Either the source is unavailable or the destination is full or read only. (1)"
    Any thoughts? I know this is an iphone specific issue as I was successfully able to import from another camera.
    P.S Quicktime up to date and quicktime movies checked in Picassa.

    I have the same issue. It started only after the most recent iPhone update though, leading me to think it's the phone, not iPhoto.
    The pictures that do import are streaked/blurry with terrrible colour. I can still send them via email but they're smaller files.
    Does anyone know another way to get my full-res pictures off my iPhone?
    [edit] I found out that I could use Apple's Image Capture software, which worked like a charm but the pictures themselves are a mess. I'll have to try resetting.

  • What compression to use when Exporting HD video from final cut pro PAL setting

    Hi there
    I'm trying to export my HD video from Final cut Pro so that I can edit it in DVD studio Pro. I initially exported it on H.264 setting however it then gives me the message 'NTSC assets cannot be imported into PAL projects' It was edited with PAL setting so I think it must be the conversion but i'm not sure which option to use.....been really struggling to get the 1 hour footage under 4.5gb without losing too much quality...
    Any advice greatly appreciated!
    thanks

    Just to add two suggestions.
    1) Consider putting your four movies on two disks.
    2) Bring your movies into Compressor and duplicate the stock DVD setting. In the Encoding pane of the Inspector, select a CBR and dial it back to around 6.2 to 6.5 Mbs. In Preview mark a small section and submit; you'll get 2 elementary streams, with m2v and AC3 extensions. Bring that into DVDSP and evaluate results. Adjust as necessary. (This is to avoid waiting out very long encodes and then having to start again from scratch if you get disappointing results.)
