Adobe AE CS3 Render Que and Output Modules

Ok Buddies
Using Vista 64 with AE CS3
I Imported a complete project (Audio and video)  from Premiere CS3 to AE CS3 , i Added all my Fx and etc, then i went to Render Que and tried to make my final AVI , I also installed Lagarith Lossless Codec on my system, but rendering is all done with NO AUDIO
then under Render Que i found this section called " Output Module" by default it was set to Lossless, i am not sure if that is referring to lagarith codec or something else , and under the "Output Audio" is was set to OFF
so i changed the output module to Microsoft DV NTSC 48khz
is that mean that i no longer use Lagarith as my codec or that lossless was for audio ?
or what is the correct way to set my audio channel ON !!
Thanks

Thanks once again
ok so that was very helpful and it did  work and now i have the audio as well , i wonder what that Preset "Lossless" is used for  ? I mean the final output is not compressed (5 mins song is now 6gb) , maybe its used for Encore or other programs that make DVDs ? so that compression is used only once when making the actual DVD.
the other thing that is very interesting is that i had only 3 layers of video, but with many cuts or clips, now that I imported a Premiere CS3 project into the AE CS3
, i have around 200 layers, i guess one layer per cut or so...
Is there anyway to set the layers in order or a way , for example layer 1 is the clip1 and layer 2 is the clip 2 and ect...
I make it a bit more clear here :
let's say i am working on layer 1 , which is the intro of the song and layer 2 is beginning of the song and layer 3 is the end of the song, so is there any way i could place the correct layers one after the other ?
because right now let's say i am working on one the clips and its layer 6 and the next clip is layer 189, is there a way to put these layers one after the other , so i don't have to look for the next clip !!
Thanks again !!

  • Default file location render settings and output module - Windows 7?

    Hi all,
    Confession: I am generally confused about render settings and output modules, so forgive me if this question seems stupid.
    Problem 1: Where does AE store the default render settings and output module files (I'm on Windows 7)? I want to backup a copy of these in case I mess them up, but can't find the folder. I think they are .aom and .ars files, but I just upgraded my CC 2014, lost all my custom settings, and want to save the defaults before I try loading my various customized files to see if I can get my settings back. When I search for *.aom or *.ars, I can't find any "default" settings from later than 2013 (I would think there would be a newer one somewhere.
    Thanks in advance,
    Lori

    They're in the same folder as the general preferences file and the keyboard shortcuts file. You can open that folder by clicking the button at the bottom of the Preferences dialog box.
    But there is no need to back up the defaults. If you delete the render settings or output module settings file, After Effects will just recreate the defaults.

  • After Effects CS6 render-only: Custom output modules?

    With After Effects CS5.5, we've been able to include custom output module templates (so, aside from the default Lossless, TIFF Sequence with Alpha, etc.).  We're having trouble doing the same with CS6.  Is there any way to make this work?

    this explains what we are trying to use, non-royalty-bearing mode.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2012/06/codecs-and-the-render-engine-in-after-effects- cs6.html
    please understand we are using a render queue to remotely execute aerender from the commandline.
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/aftereffects/cs/using/WS3878526689cb91655866c1103a4f2dff7-79a3 a.html
    this is the command that is entered:
    "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS6\Support Files\aerender.exe" -project "\\nas3\graphics\jobs\13912_SHIELD\cmp\BB\BB_CS6_Test2\BB_CS6_Test2.aep" -comp "HeroComp" -output "\\nas3\graphics\jobs\13912_SHIELD\images\BB\BB_CS6_Test2\BB_CS6_Test2.[####].sgi"   -v "ERRORS_AND_PROGRESS" -RStemplate "Full" -OMtemplate "SGI_Premultiplied" -s 11 -e 20
    if we place ae_render_only_node.txt into the appropriate folder this is the error that is generated:

    if we register the software aerender correctly renders the frames.

  • Adobe Bridge CC.. No Output Module

    So here's the deal;
    I just downloaded a trial for Bridge CC in order to help me create a contact sheet earlier this morning. I've been struggling since to work it because, which I recently learned, theres no 'OUTPUT MODULE' with the Bridge CC program. I have downloaded the Output Module but have no idea as to how to copy or transfer that into the Bridge CC folder(s).
    Please someone help!!
    Thanks!

    After installed the Adobe Output Module, and followed instruction, managed to get the 'output' tab appeared on the workspace, but it has empty function features which I can't use to create PDF or web page at all. Please help.

  • Adobe Brigde CC down after installing 'output' module.

    I've tried to install the Adobe Bridge CC output module (Install Adobe Output Module) on my MacBook pro but after that the program won't open / work any more
    I've already removed the extra installation and reinstalled Adobe Bridge CC several times, but nothing works.
    For my school and work, I need to be able to use Adobe Brigde so I need to get this program working again.
    Please, help is needed.

    Nope never found a solution to it. In the end I just used the print module in Lightroom to create my contact sheets, actually turned out to be easier and quicker in the end.

  • 2 error messages - failed to install extention 2.1 and output module 2.1

    I just tried to update my Encore CS4 from the Master Suite. I have two error messages " failed to install extention Mgr. CS4 2.1 and failed to install output module update 2.1
    Encore will load a new project and save but I can't do anything else like add files before it crashes.  Any help please. - Art

    This might not apply with En CS4, but there were some issues on install, and on updates in Photoshop. It seems that MS had a bum MSI (Installer) version, and it caused a lot of PS installs and updates to fail. Do not recall any specific error messages. The cure there was to download and install the revised MSI module from the MS site. I would imagine that any MSI module would be heavily Windows version-specific. Take that as a warning to check any very carefully, before downloading and installing. MS is pretty good at having a ReadMe with installation instructions for each such download. It almost always contains the exact versions of Windows, that the file is for. Please read any installation instructions carefully.
    This might be worth a look. I do not have a link to the exact page, but a search of the MS site should yield something. I'd search for "MSI," to start.
    I just do not recall any issues with En and either installation (on proper systems with updated OS's) or with any updates.
    Good luck, and please report your success.

  • Finding the correct render size and output

    Hey guys,
    I took a project in After Effects after having some experience in the past with it, and haven't had any problems up until the most crucial part. I am using AE CS5, and am making a 1.5 minute highlight video for a company event. This video will be played on a large screen in a 100 person conference room by an employee's Windows laptop with limited video software. The file I want to output has to be fairly small and in a very accessible file format.
    They want me to output it for Windows Media Player, but I can't figure out for the life of me how to get from A to B. I can output in .mov format fine, but the file is way too big. The client will accept .mov, but I would be looking at a file that is 1 gig or more, which is unacceptable. I do not know the right compression to use with Adobe Media Encoder or After Effects to get to where I need to be, and this thing has a deadline.
    Bottom Line: I need a 1.5 minute video from After Effects in .wmv, .mov, or .avi rendered in a couple hundred mbs or less. How can I do this with Mac Adobe CS Master Suite? Thanks in advance for any help.

    I'd put it on a DVD. That will give you the best chance of smooth playback on marginal equipement. Do you have access to DVD burning software?

  • Adobe distiller 8 red hat and output file permissions

    Hello,
    Hope somebody has come across this one before. Using distiller 8 on redhat 5.5. Call the distill program with the following switches, and the resulting output pdf has permissions 600.
    Way too tight.
    distill -allowfileops yes -verbose -pd +telegraph.joboptions -f :/opt/Acrobat8/Distiller/telegraph_fonts: wook.ps
    I've been through the painful readme file and tried all the options that may influence file perms, but I always get 600, when I really need 666.
    My previous version (6) (on solaris sparc) dumped the pdf in mode 666 which is great.
    Played with umask in various places, but nothing will influence the final 600 perms.
    I can fake it by adding a chmod in the script that calls distill - but that feels like cheating....

    Who checked that box, anyway? Boy, do I feel stupid. Thanks for the lightning response. Resolved....Bill

  • Adobe Media Encoder The source and output audio channels are not compatible or a conversion does not exist. Export Error

    Sounds like you unsuccessfully trying to output a 5.1 Master to a stereo or mono file.  Or something along those lines.

  • After Effects "Output Module" render error & rendering advice

    Hi all,
    I've been working on an AfterEffects project for a few weeks and never had a problem with rendering it before, but in the past few days it has started giving me error messages every time I start a render.
    After rendering about 48 - 60 frames of a 2 minute long composition (it doesn't seem to hang in the same place every time), the render freezes and I get this error message:
    After Effects error: An output module stopped responding. The file may be damaged or corrupted. You may need to restart After Effects.
    The project is really huge -- about 1022 3D layers, mostly all created in Photoshop, as well as some Quicktime movies. Motion blur is turned on for everything. Although the project is big, I have a 3D camera that animates through the scene, so not all the layers are onscreen at all times.
    I haven't added anything significant to the composition lately, I've just been adjusting keyframes, so that would lead me to believe the render isn't failing because of a corrupted element.
    I'm using Adobe After Effects CS5, Version 10.0.2.4. I have some 3rd party plug-ins installed (Trapcode, Magic Bullet Looks, Optical Flares), but I'm not using any 3rd party effects on this project, though I plan to in the future.
    I'm running the project on a 2 x 2.66 Ghz 6-Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro with 14 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM, using OS X version 10.6.8.
    Here is some information about my project:
    1280 X 720, Square Pixels, 23.976 Frame Rate, Rendering Plug-in: Advanced 3D. For my preferences, I don't have "render multiple frames simultaneously" checked, and I keep 4 GBs of RAM reserved for other applications. I also have OpenGL disabled.
    And finally, here are some screenshots of my Render Settings and Output Module for this project:
    I'd really appreciate any feedback or advice on how to troubleshoot this error. And I'd also love to hear if the experts on this board have render settings tips or advice on how to set up my render preferences for my particular machine.
    Thanks and hope all is well,
    Dan

    Hey Dan,
    Really nice post in regards to info provided initially. It's rare to see that these days.
    The weird thing in your screen shots that I see, is that in your Output Module Settings, the audio bit-depth settings seem to be grayed out for some reason. Are you using some sort of audio hardware that is customized, or perhaps some compressed audio in your project? Here's what I mean:
    Thoughts? Aside from that, your project does sound as if it is pretty intensive, so I'm sure the problem could be occuring elsewhere...

  • Import Output Modules to render slaves with expired trial

    Hello, I intend to launch network render jobs through the command line in Windows 7, ie., not with Watch Folder feature but by passing command lines directly to aerender.exe.
    The problem is that I need to create new Output Module settings for the render job and pass it on to my render slaves. The slaves are installed in trial mode which now have expired, so I am not able to open up full After Effects and import an .aom file. And I have not figured out a way to do the same thing with just the Render Engine as the menu option is disabled no matter what I do.
    I thought that copying the preference files from my workstation to the render slaves would give them the new Output Modules as I read that these settings are stored in the preference files somehow, but the render still complains about missing modules if I try.
    I have 'almost' solved the whole thing by temporarily register the expired versions with my serial, import the .aom (or recreate the template from scratch), and then deactivate AE into trial mode again.
    However I noticed a strange behaviour when doing this which I cannot figure out. I had previously put a ae_render_only_node.txt into \Users\Public\Documents\Adobe to force it into Render Engine mode, but it seems like the aerender.exe can no longer find the new Output Module I just created when ae_render_only_node.txt is present in that folder.
    As soon as i remove ae_render_only_node.txt the aerender.exe renders fine, but with the file present it just won't find the new module on any of the slaves. I guess it works for as long as the "new" trial period is active (by registering and deactivating I got 30 days trial mode again.) But once this trial is over I am forced to use ae_render_only_node.txt to make the slaves render, no?
    It is perhaps so that using the standard way of network rendering through Watch Folder will avoid this issue, but the reason is that we are designing custom network render tools that use aerender.exe because of simplicity, speed and reliability compare to Watch Folder.
    In this case it would have been so much easier if Render Settings and Output Modules would have been stored as an ordinary XML or INI file which could be transfered between systems and edited with simple external text editing tools.
    Right now it seems like this won't be a problem for me during these next 30 days, but after that I fear that my custom Output Module settings will no longer be recognized.
    Is there any solution to this?

    >The most likely culprit is the h.264 Quicktime. It should have never been included as an option. It doesn't even work well in Quicktime Pro or in Final Cut...
    I'll come to Apple's (partial) defense here:
    Their H.264 codec was written and released at a time when it was difficult to imagine that mainstream computers would have as many CPUs as they do now, so it's somewhat understandable that the severe failures that this codec has with large numbers of threads occurs. Of course, we may all wish that Apple hadn't decided to end development on the QuickTime platform, since this has meant that bugs like this are likely to persist.
    That said, this is why we increasingly recommend that people use other H.264 codecs and not use QuickTime for such things. See the H.264 options currently in Adobe Media Encoder.

    I've noticed this message from you several times, John. Often in cases like this where there is a possibility that another user has had the exact same problem, and thus might have an answer.
    I suggest that you shorten your message to "You may need to contact Adobe for help, and the following two lines" which will seem less naggy.

  • Output Modules Lost

    I recently upgraded from CS3 to CS5 and I can't find the output Modules from CS3 to transfer to CS5 (the render settings are gone too). They are not in either presets folder. If I open CS3, the modules are there and I can use them but I can't find them. Spotlight can't find them either. Does anyone have any advice to help me find them?  
    TIA     

    Output Module templates aren't saved as separate files.  (The data is embedded in your preferences file.)  You can save your custom Output Module Templates from After Effects CS3 as a .AOM file, which you can then import into After Effects CS5.  For more information, read the "Create, manage, and edit output module templates" section of the "Output modules and output module settings" article in After Effects Help.
    Note that because of changes to how After Effects CS5 stores the data for certain output formats (including MPEG formats), some Output Module Templates from previous versions do not fully import into After Effects CS5.  In this case you will receive a warning when opening the .AOM file, and the format-specific settings for those templates will be reset to the default values.  You can change the template manually in CS5 to match the settings from the previous version.

  • Output module settings in AE disappears when activating Creative Cloud

    I have been using Creative Cloud a little year now. Sometimes one of the programs en the suite asks me to activate the software. Then I (again) type in my adobe id.
    After that the output module settings in After Effects disappears and I have to rebuild them manually. Very annoying.
    Why am I asked to activate? And where do the settings go?

    HI Blues67,
    Sorry to hear about your difficulties. I've experienced the reactivate behavior and it is something I know we are working to improve. I haven't experienced the output module issue before. I searched the After Effects forum for "output module" and read through all the posts and didn't see similar reports from other customers, so wondered if it was something unique. I think the the output module preferences are saved as part of the regular After Effects user preferences. I wondered if you were on Windows or Mac. If you've had to reset your user preferences that might account for the output module settings being reset too. I'd test recreating them by moving the original to a new location, and if they do get reset, you can save a backup for future reference if needed. I think
    you can get more info about the location from here:

  • Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 - Help - Test Server

    Hey,
    I work for my University on a "Numeracy Inititative", we use Flash Modules develped by Adobe Flash 8, and host them on a website that was developed by Dreamweaver (not sure which version).
    The website is located here: http://www.uoguelph.ca/numeracy/
    I've been tasked to kind of change the format of the site...make it more "user friendly".  And I'm using Adobe Dreamweaver CS3...and I've been spending the day looking at tutorials and what not, but I want to put the website up onto a test server, I try doing the "preview in browser" but when I do I get a "Unable to connect".
    Is there something else I can do...another method?
    Thanks in advance,
    Steve

    You didn't answer Murray's question.
    The method you're using can work, but it can get out of control pretty fast if you have a lot of files to test. Some folks just create a separate folder for testing that way.
    I would set up a local test server for this purpose. If that is not an option for you, you might be able to create a subdomain on your live server, say http://test.example.com . You can even create a simple http authentication for the subdomain so that bots and search engines don't find it.
