After Efects Error: overflow converting ratio denominators.(17 :;18)

Hello, I am experiencing a serious problem with after effects.
It started when I right clicked a clip in my premiere pro timeline and chose "replace with after effects composition."  Upon moving the clip into my already open after effects project, the wrong still frame opened up in the comp viewer, followed by this error: After Effects Error: overflow converting ratio denominators.(17 :;18).  Clicking OK does nothing, and even after closing after effects and restarting the computer, upon opening my project, I simply get this error which will not go away, and as long as it is open, I can do nothing else with after effects.  I cannot just create a new project as several other comps are contained within this specific project, and because of this error I now have no access to them.  What can I do to correct this?

Hi there
Well, I have this issue for two days so I was like "OMG!", but then I have found this forum and this post which gave me some clues what should I do or what to try...so: my problem was that when I did try to open my huge project (quantum of clips, pics, effects etc.) I got to that error message and when I clicked "OK" project opens TOTALY EMPTY so I couldn't try out any of your solutions (having CAPS LOCK ON didn't help, cos simply there was absolutely nothing inside the project)...so I began scratching my head saying something like: "Hey, wait a sec - what the...?!?!?!". After some messing with empty projects I was able to import my buggy project via IMPOERT>FILE>*.aep, but as soon as I open the composition inside it crashes with exact the same error message (but at least I was able to see what's inside) + some other errors. So I write them all down to a paper and after some time I noticed there are like 2-3 the same errors that occure most of the time...and those was errors with AF own internal effects of AUTO CONTRAST and LINEAR WIPE (+ one more but that one has no significancy and also I was not sure if that third one is internal effect or not: Classic 3D). Then automaticaly my next thought was: "Hm, OK, I should try disabling those effects and see what will happend..." - well, guess what: IT HELPED!!! I went to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS6\Support FilesPlug-ins\Effects\ and there I changed the *.eax extension of those plugins to *.eax- (or any other "unnown" extension :-D). And after some while I narrow it to one definitive internal effect plugin bug of AUTO CONTRAST! So my guess is that the framerate bug (having not whole number as framerate, like some of you suggested here) is probably NOT AFTER EFFECTS INTERNAL BUG AS WHOLE, but reather bug in some of its internal effects dealing with it (the framerate) - hope it will help to resolve this many years long bug (+ sorry: english is not my native language :-D)
Message was edited by: eriqire9 - sorry, I by mistake write the buggy effect name wrong, it was AUTO CONTRAST, not Auto Focus :-)

  • After Effects error: overflow converting ratio denominators. (17 :: 18)

    I have been working on learning how to use Adobe After Effects CS6 and it has been alot of fun, so I have decided to buy it! Except now... I ran in to an issue when I tried to place an effect on a portion of a layer to see if anything would happen; something horrible happened. There is a really annoying pop-up that will not go away! It reads: "After Effects error: overflow converting ratio denominators. (17 :: 18), and it has a red circular icon with a white exclaimation mark in the middle of it. This would be great if it was actually doing anything other than piss me off! It will not go away when I 'dismiss' it by pressing OK, and I fear that I will lose my footage now. I will be buying a different program 100% if I cannot fix this problem or get it explained, so for the sake of Adobe's consumer record, would anybody be kind enough to assist me? Thanks alot, I will be following up on this ASAP.

  • After Effect error::overflow converting ration denominators(17::19)

    I have a project in AECS3 that contains roughly 70 jpegs that are 10 seconds each with a dissolve between them.   I went to add two more pictures and I get that error.  I've tried opening the project in a new project and even tried to create a new project but still get the same error.  Any suggestions?

    Here's a Community Help search that pulls up several suggestions .

  • Error 17::18 overflow converting ratio denominators  fix

    i try doing that thing were u interpret the footage but it puts it down to 9 minutes it is making me very mad. any help would be very apreaiated

    Whatever your tool says, it probably isn't recording at the framerate it claims. AE is drawing that info from the embedded streamflags of your H.264 and this is usually pretty correct. Tend to agree with Dave. This probably is the sole source of your issue. You really should consider mangling your clips through an ffmpeg encoder like Handbrake or MPEG streamclip to conform it to something usable and fix those inconsistencies.

  • Failed to execute with the error Overflow converting from...

    I have a query filter for UPC in Webi Report. The report is not working for one UPC (for other UPC's the report is working fine)...it gives error "failed to execute with the error Overflow converting from '6218090010'. (WIS 10901)". The same error is coming when I ran MDX in MDXTEST command in BW. When I take the UPC filter from the query filter the report runs fine and I see this UPC in the report. The data source is Bex and we have recently upgraded to SAP EHP 1 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0.

    Hi,
    Under normal circumstances it should be enough to restart the connection service.
    As far as we know there is no formal solution to this problem from SAP yet but restarting the connection service is much less of an interuption compared to restarting the the SIA.
    Re-starting the connection service should resolve this issue. since, Connection service is only related to DeskI and Rich Client re-statrng wonu2019t impact other business objects components including java report panel.

Go to ST22 it will show you dump and give you line at which error is coming OR if you click on the message in DTP monitor it will divert you to the errorneous line.

  • 17 :: 19 After Effects Error: zero denominator converting ratio denominators

    Hi,
    I've been getting this error after I installed AE on a fresh installation of Windows. Google has a collection of complicated explanations.
    Mylenium has a nice blog about error messages, but it also has a big explanation.
    So I stated thinking: Fresh install... codecs! What am I using?
    I disabled all mp4 layers and the error went away.
    So if you're getting 17 :: 19, you might want to check for something simple like Advanced Video Codec footage without Quictime, FFDshow or Core installed.

    I think I found "my" problem. I don't know if other will solve this issue the same.
    It turns out that a certain .AVI file rendered from Cineform Studio will not work in a network render, onl yin the stand alone AE software.
    I rendered that .AVI out from AE as a .AVI and now I don't get the error. So apparently, the Cineform format won't work on a network render.
    By the way, that might be a really good feature request!

  • What causes "After Effects error: zero denominator converting ratio denominators. (17  ::  18)" ?

    I have the latest update 11.0.2. (Saw same issue with version 11.0.0)
    Got the error yesterday from my render computers. Had to render on one machine.
    The next day I was able to use the render farm without any issues at all.
    But then the next time I rendered, same day, merely changing colors on a layer, I get the error message again.
    Same project file each time. Why does it work sometimes but not other times???
    How can this be remedied?
    I have not seen this error in all my years of using AE. I have not made any changes to my computers except regular Windows updates. Last version we couldn't network at all, now there are errors while trying to network render.

  • After Effects error: (17::18)

       Every time I try to drag a video to after effects(cs4), I get the following error: After Effects error: overflow converting ratio  denominators. ( 17 :: 18 ).
    In the beginning I thought that maybe changing the avi files to mpg would solve this problem, because I have two videos that are mpg-s and they work fine, so I downloaded one program, changed the file, but
    it didn't work.
    Then I searched help from Google and what I found was that I had to right click on the video , then interpret footage and then main. Below the frame rate was two options. 1) Use frame rate from file:(23, 970)
                       2)Conform to frame rate:  23,97 frames per second.
    According to help I found from Google I had to select the option number two. The video worked fine, but...the video became shorter, half of the video was just gone.
    So, what should I do? Is there a way to get a video to it's original length, or is there some other way to get off this error so I don't have to use that way, what I found from Google.
    P.S. Sorry, if my English is bad
    Thank you,

  • Ratio Denominators error

    Hi guys (and girls),
    I'm having this error where when I try to add a video clip into an AE composition it gives me an error regarding my piece saying, "Overflow converting ratio denominators (17::18). I know there are a few other posts on this error on the thread but none are ore recent then early 2014 so I don't know how viable the answers still are. The file I am trying to add in is an MP4 file 2.5GB file size 1280x720 @ 30fps. If someone could just let me know how to fix it so I can fit the file in the composition without getting that error it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    As far as my version of AE I am using AE off of Creative Cloud which has been updating it automatically so it would be the latest version of AE for CC.
    Yes, so that would be version 12.2.1.5
    But that's not the latest version of After Effects. The latest version of After Effects is 13.2.0.49 (Which is After Effects CC 2014.2) CC and CC 2014 are completely different versions of the program and not a simple update. Also, sometimes the Creative Cloud app doesn't update correctly. We've had a lot of people lately who are on version 13.0.1 who thought they were updated. So, go to Help>About in AE and find out what your full version number is.

    As for transcoding the file into a different format would I be able to use Adobe Media Encoder to do that, and if so what format would you recommend using?
    Possibly AME could do it. It might also have a similar error.
    QuickTime with the Photo-JPEG codec would be a good intermediate codec.

    Hi Mubeen,
    While Copying the cotes have come closer otherwise its working fine , i was able to find the error .
    There are ten predefined ABAP data types. There are 100 possible type combinations between these elementary data types. ABAP supports automatic type conversion and length adjustment for all of them except type D (date) and type T (time) fields which cannot be converted into each other.
    I commented the TimeStamp part where i had given the ABAP Type as D and it started working .
    But now i want to display the content of  "TimeStamp"  field but i am not able to do so .
    This is the format in which it has to be displayed 2009.011.915.3353.
    Which ABAPTYPE i need to use ?.
    i am able to display in this format 20090119153353

  • After Effects error: could not convert Unicode characters. (23 :: 46)

    Hello,
    I'm getting the following error message:
    After Effects error: could not convert Unicode characters. (23 :: 46)
    I have yet to find an answer that works to resolve this problem. I'm using CS6 on an HP Z220 on Windows 7.
    Thanks in advance.

    So I solved the problem. A little history for this situation: I created a new AE project and while attempting to import a file received the error message:  After Effects error: could not convert Unicode characters. (23 :: 46)
    I then tried to import a Vanishing Point which broken the spell on the error message and allowed the menu to select a vanishing point to appear. I closed out of that and was then able to import files.

  • After Effects error: could not convert Unicode characters. (23::46) CS6

    Hello I just created a project in AE CC and wanted to save also a version for CS6.
    All went ok but when I tried to open the project in CS6 I received the following error:
    "After Effects error: could not convert Unicode characters. (23::46)"
    Does anyone know what that means and how to fix it?

    After Effects CC is much, much better at handling characters that are outside of the character set used by the OS at its current language settings. So, file names and paths (and other strings) that work fine in After Effects CC and later may fail with earlier versions.
    For example, if you are running your OS and applications in English and have Chinese characters in your file names, After Effects CS6 and earlier will fail, but After Effects CC and earlier will succeed.
