AE won't render frames.

I have a fairly simple project. Main comp in which are several precomps with collapsed transformations. The transformation I need to collapse is a shape with the layer style set to multiply over a mask of the same shape on an adjustment layer with a blur. Basically the effect I want is everything under this shape to have a green cast and be blurred.
Everything was working perfectly fine. Now, suddenly, I added in a 3rd precomp with this type of effect, and AE won't render the relevant frames. I can't scrub through - it just hangs up and goes to black. Now if I deselect Collapse Transformations on that precomp, no prob, I can scrub through. So, I tried taking all the elements I need to collapse out of the precomp and placing them in my main comp instead. Same issue - it won't render the frames.
Anybody? Thanks.

Yeah, and I've noticed Andrew Kramer frequently warns people off the collapse transformations switch as it can cause unforeseen issues...I think in this case using that in tandem with VC Reflect made AE freak out. I was only really nesting for organizational purposes; maybe when I get everything laid out and timed I'll just move all the layers back into the main comp and try to reapply it without any precomps or collapse. It did add a nice finish to some parts of my video. Thanks for your help; I'm still not exactly sure what the problem was, but it def appears to be VC Reflect-related.

Timeline won't render in Premiere Elements 12 (and music video editing advice)

I have a section of video I'm editing that won't render. I've read some similar threads but still have a question about how I can edit the clips to 'force' a render.
I'm running PE 12 on a Core i3 laptop running Windows 8, so not a huge amount of processing power. I don't have an orange line above the timeline over these clips and I understand PE has decided that it's already giving me the best possible preview quality and doesn't need to render this section. However, it's four quick edits in time to some music and when I preview it back my computer clearly can't process the video and audio fast enough because I get very jerky video so I can't verify that the cuts are perfectly aligned to the drum beats.
I've been exporting the whole four minutes just to review about five seconds of video in the middle to make sure it's synched, and this is getting really frustrating as I'm having to make frame by frame adjustments to improve the sync.
Is there anything I can do to each clip, like adjust an image setting, to force PE to give me an orange line and want to render this section?
Just as an aside to anyone who edits music video type clips - if you're making, say, four quick cuts to four drum beats in a bar, do you find the audio/visual sync works best if the cut is on the frame the drum beat attack starts on, or does it seem more natural if it's one or two frames after the initial attack so it's 'mid drum beat'? I'm tending to find just after the initial attack looks/sounds better for me - but maybe that's something to do with the delay in my PC processing the frame!
Thanks for any advice,
Chris.

Please excuse the questions, but I did not want to take anything for granted...are you sure that you are looking above the Timeline content for the render indicator line? Assuming that you are OK with that.....
Are the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar placed so that they span the entire content of the Timeline, including this five second content which you say cannot be rendered. Remember rendering does not fix problems, rather it is a preview that helps you to realize that a problem exists sooner than later. Consequently, please confirm if an orange line persists over that five second content even if you press the Render key above the Timeline.
Have you expanded the Timeline content to the maximum with the Zoom Out Zoom In Slider above the Timeline get the best look at the content on the Timeline in contrast to get the best possible preview in the Edit area monitor?
Have you gone to Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and set the Audio Display Format to Milliseconds if you are involved in audio edits?
Have you been nudging audio in sync with video using shortcuts, such as...
As you hold down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard, tap the left or right arrow key once (one tap = 1 frame nudge)
As you hold down the Shift+Alt keys of the computer main keyboard, tap the left or right arrow key once (one tap = 5 frames nudge)
I would suggest that exploration and experimentation are the best tools with which to work to achieve a specific effect for your specific
situation.
Please review and then let us know if any of the above targets your questions about your workflow.
Thank you.

Compressor won't render past 30 seconds of video?

I am trying to use compressor to render a sequence from FCP to a WMV and it won't render past 30 seconds? Anyone seen this before?
File Extension: wmv
Estimated file size: unknown
Output file type: Windows Media
Video Encoder
Format: Video
Pixel aspect ratio: Square
Crop: None
Padding: None
Padding: None
Frame Controls: Off

You need to buy the Flip4Mac FCP component to convert to WMV. You have the trail version of flip4Mac and it only converts 30 seconds.

Warp won't render

I've done a warp using the warper node but it won't render. Flipbook looks fine, but file out (to Quicktime movie file) ignores the warp node. Happens whether warp is attached to image or further down the tree. I've tried both animation and photo jpg codecs with same result. Help! Why do these things always happen on Friday nights?
Thanks.

I tried to duplicate this behavior, but I can't. Maybe it's a OS 10.5 thing?
it's weird so I'll pass it on. If any one of the points in the boundary shapes is outside
the frame, it will render at P1, but node will become in error at base resolution
(1920x1080) and gets ignored in processing. Could also be true with the source
and target shapes, but in my case, those were inside the frame so I didn't check them.
If you switch back to P! node, it's fine again, meaning you just (just?!!) can't render
at base resolution.

Media Encoder CC won't render Magic Bullet Denoiser II

Hello there,
i've got the following Problem: I am having Premiere CC and used the Red Giant Plug-In Denoiser II on my last project, when i import this project to the Media Encoder and select Quicktime for output, the Media Encoder won't render the clip with this Plug-In. i always get the original files out, without the denoiser. Original footage from in premiere is 2,5k CinemaDNG RAW from the Black Magic Cinema Camera.
thx

I feel like there was a recent update to the RG plugins (inside of the last 30 or so days.) Are they up to date?

FCP suddenly won't render anything

I had a project a client wanted a scene cut out so I deleted the transitions, selected my in and out points and shift + delete to remove the footage & close the gap. I put in a dip to color transition (green) but FCP won't render it, I just see a very brief window pop up and nothing. I removed the transition and it won't render the ends of the 2 clips (both are JPEG RGB graphics)Cap locks are off, all colors selected in sub menus, no gap, plenty of footage, tons of hard drive space. The system has been running like a dream up to now. I even deleted an existing transition, put it back and it won't render it. I've worn the book ragged reading it over and over but I must be missing something. Have also rebooted & checked my preferences though nothing seems out of place.

Sometime a sequence muff up with no reasons, what i do , i save the job save project as.. with a complete new name close FCP and reopen it with the new file most of the time it is working ,if not, export the complete sequence in self contained QuickTime movie

FCP 4 won't render

Hi,
I'm using fcp 4 and I when I try to render some scrolling text, it takes a long time and then comes up with general error 34. After that, it won't render anything. I have made sure that all the option colors are checked, and I have tried dumping the preferences.
Thanks

Hi David,
There is lots of space. I had a student that added some titling to a project at the end of a video, and it wouldn't render. Then when I put the same titling on top of a clip, it rendered without a problem. I'm not sure why this was happening.

Transitions won't render.

I've been having trouble on and off with the ken burns effect and now for some reason when I insert a transition it won't render. Is there some command I can put in that will make it render or something else I can do? Also, if I try to empty the trash I get an error message saying that something is rendering but nothing is.

HI Silas is Awesome - is your project stored on an external drive? If so it must be formatted for Macs - Mac OS Extended.

Themes won't render in iMovie06

When I use some Themes in iMovie in order to make my Holiday-Videos a little bit more "interesting", I can choose all the themes and templates und drag them in the timeline. However they won't render, so that the red line won't change. Also saving my project won't work, because it is still rendering (but nothing happens). I have this problem since QT 7.5 but cannot downgrade...
I waited a VERY long time for rendering-processes on my iMac 2.8 4GB but nothing happend at all.
what can I do?

puh.....
Thank you for the reply.
However, reinstalling the system without using a backup means very very much work... Is there no there Chance to use iMovie06 correctly?
I can't really believe that

I tried restarting the computer and it still won't render. How do I get my pictures to render in imovie?

Transitions won't render all the time

When publishing my finished Captivate file, sometimes the transitions that I selected won't render. Or some will render and others won't. In order to fix it, I have to open my project, and go to each slide that needs a transition, change the transition to No Transition, then back to Fade, or whatever transition I was using. Then when I publish the file, I keep my fingers and toes crossed because it might or might not render them all. Is there a fix on the way to ensure that transitions are not ignored when rendering?

Hi,
Re-publish the project selecting "Force re-publish all the slides" checkbox in "Advanced Options:" of publish dialog.
Let me know if it resolves your issue.
Thanks,
Vikranth.

Premiere Elements 9 won't render in the timeline.

Hey hope all is well.
I created a project in PE 4. Well, in what's looking like a not-so-smart-move midproject, I upgraded to PE 9. I opened the original PE 4 projectin PE 9 and it plays fine but won't render in the timeline. So, all of my effects and such won't render for a preview. This is actually an important project so any help would he appreciate. Thanks!
mck

This kind of behavior is common when a project is created with one version of the program and then opened with a newer version. This is why many of us on the forum (and I, in my book) recommend not doing this.
It's best to finish your version 4 project in version 4 and than start a fresh project in version 9.

All of a sudden LR won't render larger preview.

Today after using LR sucessfully for some time it won't render larger previews, in the library mode, of images in my catalog which were downloaded by another computer. The images turn extreemly blurry and will not come out of it. I restarted windows vista and optimized LR. Any suggestions?

The images will have a ? on the badge when they're offline and you're looking in grid mode. Are they offline?
If so, and you bring them back on, you can create 1:1 previews, but won't be able to edit.
