AE CS6 Renders Stop after 325 frames.

AE CS6 Renders Stop after 325 frames - or nearly: they abruptly start slowing down to 1 frame every 30 seconds until they hit a standstill, as the amount of RAM in use starts climbing suddenly until it reaches around 67%, at which point it is dead.
I'm on AE CS6 Version 11.0, freshly downloaded from the Cloud.
I am on a MacBook Pro 5,3 running Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5 with a 3.06 GHz IntelCore 2 Duo processor and an NVidia GeForce 9400M 256MB Card.
I've maxed out the RAM at 8 GB. I'm using Quicktime Player 7.6.6 (the most up to date).
I'm just rendering a 2D Comp to Quicktime/Photo JPEG Codec with an aspect ratio of 960x540. The comp is simple: a 1.6 MB jpg with a slight scale-up and a Liquify effect for a duration of about 4 minutes 30 (interestingly, the render stop occurs about 15 seconds before the Liquify effect starts.)
I've tried this with "Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously" on and off with no difference. However, when it's on, Installed CPUs reads 2 and Reserved for other apps reads 0 and AE will not let me change it. Also, Ram Allocation per Background CPU has been tried at everything from 1 GB to 3 GB. Actual CPUs used is set to 0, and I cannot change it either.
I have no other apps open during rendering. And there can't be a bus issue, since the AE project, the source jpg and the output location are all in the Documents folder on my hard drive. I'm at a loss. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks

This had an interesting result: the percentage of RAM in use no longer goes through the roof but tops out at 13%. The render does not stop but goes painfully slowly. At 24 hours of render time, I've now gotten to frame 1470 of 8114. Estimated time to completion now reads 109 hours.
As I mentioned before: I'm just rendering a 2D Comp to Quicktime/Photo JPEG Codec with an aspect ratio of 960x540. The comp is simple: a 1.6 MB jpg with a slight scale-up and a Liquify effect for a duration of about 4 minutes 30.
Or does liquify just take this much processing power?

Ram Preview - Stopping after 40 frames

Hi All,
I've recently moved to After effects CC on my home computer, and for some reason whenever I try and RAM preview it stops after 40 frames or so...
The animation is REALLY basic (full screen shape layers turning on and off to the music) and an mp3 file playing in the background.
My computer spec is:
21.5-inch iMac Mid 2011
OSX 10.8.5
2.8 Ghz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB
I have the following multiprocessing prefs:
I would greatly appreciate any help on the matter... the project seems far too basic for it to be having genuine issues with playback...

Hi Rick,
Thanks for the reply.
I've changed the .mp3 file to a .wav file and that seemed to fix everything, for the time being...
It previewed for 10 seconds fine, but after about 15mins of working on this the RAM preview area has started to shrink again and it's only previewing just over half (5 seconds).
I changed my memory and allocated 4GB to other apps, also turning off rendering multiple frames... (by the way for some reason I can't get my 'actual cpu's that will be used' to change from 0? This seemed odd). Still no change.
I've attached a screenshot of my comp details below, along with a shot of my screen when RAM previewing... (you can see the green bar does not go all the way). I'm not working with ANY footage which is why this is most peculiar, just the wav file so I can edit to the beat.
Once again if there is anything else you can think of...

Stalling:Error in background rendering so switching to foreground rendering after 0 frames completed

Our facility is running AE CS6 ver 11.0.0.378 on 8 core Mac Pros with 32 Gb ram running OSX10.6.8
using Thinkbox Deadline 5.2 for distributed rendering to other 8 Core Mac Pros with 32 Gb ram.
The issue is that we are in crunch mode trying to deliver 4K comps (soon to be 8k comps) and we are experience substantial
delays 10-20 minutes after the AERENDER starts, but before it starts doing any fruitful rendering.
We are reading from and writing to Quicktime movie files (which normally works just fine for us) and thus the entire frame range needs
to get computed on a single host.
The symptom is that many comp jobs (but not all) stall for a while with no apparent actibity before spitting this messgage, but then happily
and swiftly complete each frame in a second or less with no errors:
0: STDOUT: PROGRESS:   There is an error in background rendering so switching to foreground rendering after 0 frames completed out of total 576 frames.
0: STDOUT: PROGRESS: 00001 (1): 20 Min, 16 Sec
0: STDOUT: PROGRESS: 00002 (2): 1 Seconds
0: STDOUT: PROGRESS: 00003 (3): 0 Seconds
0: STDOUT: PROGRESS: 00004 (4): 1 Seconds
0: STDOUT: PROGRESS: 00005 (5): 2 Seconds
0: STDOUT: PROGRESS: 00006 (6): 1 Seconds
Given that the delay, seems to be related to the number of frames (350 frames creates a 10 min stall and 576 frames creates a 20 minute stall), it seems like it's trying to do something for every frame in background mode, before it gives up and does them quickly
in foreground mode. During this time, there doesn't seem to be any signficant CPU or Network or IO activity. I looked for command line args that might force AERENDER to foreground mode, but didn't find anything.
Here's what the digested submission args look like.

We're under the gun to get this production delivered, and these delays are killing us. I worry when we switch to 8K comps
that the "fruitless delay time" will just get longer.
I'm currently trying to correlate the plug-in assortments in effect for the shots that exhibit this behaviour. Clearly in "foreground mode" the machines are capable of rendering the shot quickly.   We've speculated, that posibly some plugins may be GPU or OpenGL accelerated (these machines have ATI Radeon HD 5770 cards) despite the fact that AERENDER probably doesn't require special graphics cards).
Anyone have any ideas, especially if there is some way for force the foreground mode from the start?
Regards,
Jay Production IT Support.

Just to follow up, Our compositing supervisor was still convinced that running with MP was the way to go, so I worked
with him to run some benchmarks on medium and heavy shots that we determinied would trigger the issue in -MP mode.
The test scene was about 50 frames in length, and we ran it on the same hosts with -MP on and -MP off, and also ran a
version of bundled frames (10 frames per host/task) and another where we did all 50 frames on a single host (with and without MP).
Interestingly, in every scenerio of these 4 cases, the version with -MP on, was 2-15% faster (despite the 10-11 minute delay at the start in MP mode).
His conclusion was it's still faster with -MP mode ON, and requested that I continue to explore for patches or theories how we might get around the delay.

Stop-Motion sticking after 21 frames

Hi,
I teaching my art class stop motion animation at the moment, in the past I have had no problems with imovie, but this year 2 students are experiencing their movie sticking after 21 frames. The movie looks as if it continues to play until the end but the picture pauses on frame 21. Does anyone have any idea what causes this?
Thanks in advance for your help.

The things you are talking about doing sound better-suited for a video editing program like Premiere. After Effects is not intended to edit video.
That being said, if you want to use After Effects for its compositing and motion graphics capabilities, you should really start here: http://adobe.ly/AE_basics
You've already been confused by how playback works and there are many more little things that will frustrate you if you don't get a good, solid foundation in how to use the software.
And, for forum readers of the future who may have a similar question, you initiate a RAM preview by pressing 0 on your number pad. More info about previewing video and audio here and in the link I gave earlier.
If you want to make a frame last longer, you could use Time Remapping on an image sequence or a composition that contains your stills instead of trying to move layers around by hand.
Now, to your issue of it not playing everything, is your composition long enough? If it is, but it's just not RAM previewing the whole thing, read this.

Mac OSX Lion: Why does PS CS6 BETA stop responding after attempting to import pdf?

Mac OSX Lion: Why does PS CS6 BETA stop responding after attempting to import single pdf or multiple pdfs? frequently happens(2/3 times)

Can you provide any more information about the files that are causing the problems? Are these particularly large files? Many pages or images? Have you opened these files in Photoshop CS5, or other versions of Photoshop?
What do you see when you try to import these PDFs? Do you get the PDF Import dialog, allowing you to select pages or images from the PDF? Is so, is it hanging when you click OK or at another time?
Any more details about the problem or other info (as well as sample files) you can provide, the easier it will be for us to help identify the cause of your problems.

Adobe Premiere Pro.exe and Dynamiclinkmanager.exe *32 not stopping after closing PP CS6.03

PP 6.03 will not restart after closing program. When I try to re-start nothing happens when clicking on the PP6 icon. Looked in task manager and found that Adobe Premiere Pro.exe and Dynamiclinkmanager.exe *32 are not stopping after closing program. Once I manually stop the processes PP will restart as normal. This is on Win 7 Sp1, HP Elitebook 8760W Matrox MXO2 LE. Also Audio meters are not active during capture, can't change clip name during capture.

Hello Elcuad, and Canino video,
Please verify the following steps and report back your findings:
- uninstall the currently installed MXO2 effects and drivers
- go to control panel - user accounts - and locate the account you are using, then drop down the UAC level all the way, ok and reboot
- download our 7.02 driver with Internet Explorer, followed by our effects
- after the files are downloaded, right click each file, go to properties, and confirm they are not blocked, if they are click the unblock button
- reinstall the Matrox driver, again, the one we just downloaded, followed by the effects, reboot
- go to start, all programs and locate the premiere icon, hold shift and ctrl keys down, and launch this particular icon, keeping the keys down until the application opens up
- please build a new project and try it out

Adobe Bridge CS6 has stopped working - has issue been resolved?

Hello.
I am experiencing the above problem with a new install of CS6.
Has this issue been resolved?
CS6 Design and Web Premium installed on Win 7 pro 64 bit Dell Precision laptop. Error with Adobe Bridge cs6: "Adobe Bridge CS6 has stopped working", problem event name "APPCRASH". Error occurs when opening Bridge from Photoshop and other apps (Browse in Bridge) and directly from desktop or start menu. Also a cache directory is not being created under c:\user\<user>\appdata\roaming\adobe\bridge\. Holding ctrl key down and double clicking icon gets same message, cannot get at reset window.
Performed the following with no change: verified Bridge and full suite is on latest version (Bridge=5.0.2.4); created desktop icon directly from bridge.exe; verified application was installed and is starting with administrator privileges; verified latest display driver installed; performed complete uninstall of CS6, CC cleaner tool run, then full reinstall; Error under Event Viewer: faulting application: Bridge.exe and faulting module name: ntdll.dll; disabled UAC; tested memory for damage using MemTest86-good.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

A follow up to the above.
There appears to be a number of possible causes for this type of error. In my case it was somewhat specific. I had a stand alone copy on this same machine previously of Adobe Photoshop CS2 (only) which was completely uninstalled prior to the installation of CS6. There is an issue with Bridge CS6 being installed on a machine that has Bridge CS2 on it. I wasn't aware of Bridge being present with my copy of Photoshop CS2 but apparently there were at least some components of Bridge CS2 left after the uninstall. The workaround that solved the issue for me was the creation of an empty folder:
C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS2
For those of you who may have this situation.
Here is where I found the solution (sixth thread down):
Bridge CS6 won't open running on Win7

Adobe Bridge CS6 is malfunctioning after the last update raw 8.0.199. Several problems.

Anything known on this issue? Solutions? Even importing files from memory card is a problem.
In import window images are not diplayed as images but all the same blue mini images.
vertical files are changed into landscape positions and more. Mac version.

How to stop "Adobe Photoshop CS6 has stopped working" error in Win8?

On my new Dell XPS 8500 Win 8 computer Photoshop CS6 keeps stopping working. I've tried both 64-bit and 32-bit versions and updated the video driver after phoning Dell. Also installed latest Adobe program updates. I keep getting the error message "Adobe Photoshop CS6 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Any solutions? I'm losing a terrible amount of time!

Hi there - thanks for the quick reply....
Yes, I do have a discrete video card with my main monitor plugged into that. I enabled multiscreen in the BIOS so I could plug in my second screen into the internal VGA port (both older monitors from my previous pc). I was previously getting an error when I opened Photoshop which said "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled enhancements which use the graphics hardware. Check out the manufacturer's website for the latest software... etc..." which is why I contacted Dell to update the driver. They have a list of drivers for my system and suggested I try the first 3 in order. The first 2 wouldn't install but the third did and although the display driver error has disappeared now, Photoshop keeps crashing.

Error message: adobe mediacore CS6 has stopped working --????

I am trying to run premiere elements 10 on a high=end pc with 8gb of memory, Win 7 Pro4-bit, massive hard drives and no conflicting software (that I can see....).
Can open up the program and use the manage module. It shows me three files that I have ready to work on. When I go to edit one of those files I get: 'adobe prem elem 10 has stopped working' and then 'adob media core CS6 has stopped working'. I can see from googling that other people have had this problme with no solution from Adobe yet. Any ideas? And no, running some defragmenter and system check thing on my PC is not in the cards. Don't need to buy any of those guys. Really.....

After an uninstall of InDesign and the antivirus software, no solution to the problem. I went into the startup menu and started doing selected start ups. I was able to narrow down the conflict to the "windows management instrumentation" program. When this is not running, I get the message that my ID has reached its activation limit and I need a new number or it needs to be deauthorized on at least one computer. There are a couple of other programs that need WMI to run as well. I did go in and delete the preferences since nothing I had was hard to recreate. Can the other files in the cache be deleted as well? Will ID look for them and recreate them such as the one in the recovery folder? Anyway, I had one document that I have been working on be rescaled-very strange. Everything else was unchanged. One other thing, when I would get the error message, I would close and then reopen the document without any problem. However, when I closed it again, even if all i did was view it without changing anything, I would get the prompt if I wanted to save the changes.
So does that help at all in narrowing down the problem? I have reinstalled the antivirus, and it did not affect anything. As long as I don't run WMI, I don't get the error message.
thanks,
Clark

InDesign CS6 Crashes shortly after opening a file

Hi there,
I've searched the web for an answer to this but have had no luck. I recently opened a file that was working fine but suddenly would not open. I was opening the INDD file in CS5 and decided to try CS6 to see if it would work.
Here is my process.
I open the file
Approx 7 seconds after the file opens I get the message, "Adobe InDesign CS6 has stopped working"
I am certain that it is a image link issue or a font issue but it does not prompt to replace the font or find the images.
Any suggestions?

Is there anything in Event viewer that might provide a clue? Are you using the same font manager/font server on all systems that you tried to open the file? Any possibility of trying to open on a Mac, where we might be able to get a real crash report? (I'm on Windows as well.) :( Try setting the prefs to not check links on open and see if that makes a difference, and uninstall any font activation plugin if you have one. I don't use a font' manager here -- never found one I thought was any good that I could make work with my system (Font Agent Pro was a candidate, but didn't like my user profiles being on drive D:).

Add an empty keyframe one frame after the frame where you stopped and move the stop() command there.

Movie keeps stopping after 45 clicks

Hi,
My flash movie keeps stopping after I've clicked 45 times and
I've no idea why. There are lots of buttons on the page and when
you click them they count how many times the buttons has been
clicked and display this in a dynamic text box underneath the
button. Not very exciting I know, but very useful at school. When
I've clicked one button 45 times or a combination of buttons adding
up to 45 the movie goes white (my buttons disappear). I'm quite new
to flash so sorry if this is really basic.
Thanks,
Zoro

Thanks for replying kglad.
I've just realised what the problem is! I've only got 45
frames on my timeline and the code includes nextFrame so when it
gets to the end it doesn't know what to do. Dhurrr! I can sort that
out. Sorry to have troubled you.
Best wishes,
Zoro
