After Effects CC Render Errors with RED footage and ProRes 4444 proxies

Working on an 8 Core, 2008 Mac Pro with 16GB of RAM running Mountain Lion.
I just upgraded to After Effects CC and I'm having a whole bunch of errors ...
-- the 'MooV' file is damaged or unsupported
-- error getting package info for file "..." ( 3 :: 164 )
-- Error (4) reading frame from file "..." ( 86 :: 2 )
I'm trying to make ProRes 4444 proxies from RED files (sometimes as big as 4K), which will eventually end up in a 1920x1080 project. I'll make a 4444 proxy, work on it all day with no problems, then when I try to render (or save a RAM preview) any one of the previous errors will show up.
My projects seemed to work just fine fine in AE CS6, and I've worked with RED footage in AE before with little issue. I've completly restarted my system, re-installed everything, worked off an external drive, worked on my internal (software) RAID, rendered to local and external hard drives, adjusted my multiprocesser render settings (on and off), cleared the cache ... nothing is fixing it.
Does anybody else have any ideas? Or insight. Or anything?!
Thanks for your time,
Eliot

I'm working on a MacbookPro, Early 2013, OS X 10.8.4, and I'm having the same exact error:
However instead of using RED footage, I'm using a 3rd party plugin called Element 3D and Optical Flares from VideoCopilet.net.
I'm not sure if the bug is related, I'm just wondering if anyone else has any idea on how to fix this problem. I have a fresh install of CC so I can't downgrade to CS6.
Another error popped up during multiple trys in export:
In case the old file was actually corrupted, I checked all my backups that worked perfectly fine with CS6 in the past, and I get the same error when I copy them over to my hard drive on my mac.
My current setup is:
Processor: 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 16GB
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
I really don't want to recreate this entire file from scratch. That would be a lot of hours wasted... any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

After Effects CC Render Error H.264

Win 7x64
Adobe After Effects CC 2014 13.0.2
QuickTime Pro 7.7.6 installed
I'm IT. Not a day to day user of CC Products.
I have a client (Uni) that is having trouble rendering in After Effects H.264 with complex renders. Basic 'simple, single image' renders work without issue. And the error output is set to 'errors only' yet nothing spits out. Users are Standard Users.
Where is a jumping off point to decipher what is breaking?

That's nice.
But from your initial query, it's difficult to know whether this person is importing h.264 footage or trying to render h.264 footage. H.264 footage used in AE can cause problems with certain effects, and it is NEVER a good idea to render to h.264.
So this could be an operator error rather than a system error.
So I tell you what, Mr. IT Guy -- go buttonhole this person, put your heads together, and answer the litany of diagnostic questions you'll find here:
FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?
Between the two of you, you'll have a much better chance of coming to the root of the problem... but separately? That's a crap shoot.

After Effects CS6 render error - grey artifacts

Hi there,
I was wondering if someone could help me? I am rendering out a video in After Effects using H.264 codec, High 5.0 Profile at CBR 5 and 25fps. However, on all occassions and with all videos, not just this one, when the video renders, many frames appear grey (see below);
I have tried rendering it out at various levels of quality, both CBR and VBR, and even using Adobe Encoder also, and the problem still persists. It is not always in the same place also and appears randomly. I was wondering if anyone else had come across this problem and had a solution?
I have re-sintalled the Adboe Suite on several occasion to try and counteract this, but again, the problem presists.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Ollie

It appears you are viewing your footage in Quicktime X, which in itself is not particulalrly sensible. Use the "classic" Quicktime 7 If it's okay there, then the file will work. Other than that this could be something with your source footage, your media cache, whatever. We cannot know. You are not nearly providing half enough info, so we end up guessing around. Also simply render to another CoDec and do the actual conversion in Adobe Media Encoder.

After Effect Network Render Error.

Hi Everyone,
I tryed the network render with use After Effect.
I use the Pipelinefx Qube 6.5 for to take a render.
After checking the logs I found out that its trying to run the following command:
cmdline : "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS6\Support Files\aerender.exe" -project "\\nas-srv-1\vol_0_1\
Qube\TestProject\Test_Project.aep" -s
QB_FRAME_START -e QB_FRAME_END -i QB_FRAME_STEP -output "\\nas-srv-1\vol_0_1\Qube\out\BUG_LOOP_[#####].tga" -rqindex 1
So I try to execute this command on console manualy. I got license error. Then followed the procedure created necessary ae_render_only_node text files in document. I tryed the render command again and I have no longer the license error but a different error :
C:\Users\administrator.SYS>"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS6\Support Files\aerender.exe" -project "\\nas-srv-1\vol_0_1\Qube\
TestProject\Test_Project.aep" -s QB_FRAME_START -e QB_FRAME_END -i QB_FRAME_STEP -output "\\nas-srv-1\vol_0_1\Qube\out
\BUG_LOOP_[#####].tga" -rqindex 1
aerender version 11.0x378
has video RAM(MB): 0
LoadLibrary "n" failed!
LoadLibrary "n" failed!
rqindex 1num 1
aerender Error: After Effects error: Unable to set ∟timeSpanStart↔. NaN is not anumber.
How can we fix this problem?
Thank you.
Ozan.

Have you tried mapping your NAS to a drive letter? Also for network volumes you can use UNC notation (forward slashes). I suspect that this is more of a generic issue where Windows doesn't resolve the network path to proper folder locations. It might also help to avoid dashes and numbers in the path names. Could be misinterpreted as aprt of the command string...

After Effects CS6 render problem with exactly one frame or exactly at one point in the timeline.

I've recently tried to render a project in After Effects CS6 but everytime I render the render fails at exaclty one frame or a time in the timeline, in this frame or point in timeline I have a composition with the following effects: Twixtor Pro and inside that composition I have the video with the following effects: Motion Tiles and Wave Warp. I rendered the project in H.264 format with a 8 bitrate. I tried to fix this even by trying to render the project as a TIFF Sequenece but the render keeps failing and the final output is only the part of the video until that exact frame. I have caps lock on to try to speed up my render. Any help would be appreaciated and let me know if you need more information and i'll try to give you more.

Set your work area to about 5 frames before the fail and 5 frames after and see if you get a fail.
If you get a fail then start turning off a layer at a time until you find the culprit. Let us know what's going on there.
A screenshot of the timeline with all properties revealed may also give us some ideas.

After effects cs4 render error/problem

I started rendering my video.After 1:30 minutes after i started rendering, the video changed intro something looking like a TV without signal, and stayed like that till the end of the video.Something like in this photo

I don't think you understood me. When you get the color bars there is missing footage in your comp. Try scrubbing through your timeline to the place where the color bars appear in your render. You should see the same thing in the comp window. Find the layer that is giving you the color bar image, right click and select find in Project, then right click the footage and use the replace footage option to find the footage.
If that does not fix your problem please give us a screenshot with the CTI at the point in your render where the color bars appear and reveal all properties of the problematic layer.
I just looked up the codec you are using. It's a highly compressed 3rd party codec and that alone could be causing your problem. There are lots of users of that codec that have problems. If you do not have missing footage in your project then Transcode the original screen capture footage to a suitable production quality codec and replace the footage in your AE project with a standard digital intermediate codec. Jpeg compressed Quicktime is probably one of the most versatile and dependable DI codec.

Render error with h.264 and Image sequence

Hi,
I have simple animation I want to render out. Problem is when I export it as h.264, error happens on one frame like you can see here.
Whith image sequence, Motion will render skipping frames here and there so some part are just fine, but some part are not.
Also some frame has same green error just like with h.264. I'm rendering as PNG.
I also tested rendering as Prores HQ and that one came just fine. Weird isn't it?!?
Any idea what might cause this?
I need h.264 for preview purpose and final result as image sequence...
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for response. Sorry, but I can not share project file since it's client work.
Anyway, I think latest 5.0.3 update might be issue. My Mac setup is OSX 10.7.3 on Macbook Pro (2010) with i7 and GeForce GT 330M.
I have also older Macbook (I think it's 2008 model with only version of unibody Macbook) which has also same OSX 10.7.3, but Motion 5.0.2. Tested with very same project and rendered out without any problem!
So, is there any way to reinstall one step older version of Motion after installing 5.0.3???

After Effects freezes when working with footage which is just being rendered

After Effects freezes when working with footage which is just being rendered... this is a bug which was introduced with CS6 and I wonder if this is really so hard to fix. When you are working with footage from a 3d application which is just being rendered (in my case on a small farm via deadline) it has become impossible to work with After Effects. AE freezes for several minutes and only eventually returns to work. I suspect After Effects is reloading newly rendered frames in the background although I have disabled that in the preferences. With CS5 i can work on the frames already rendered without any problems. I filed a bug report about a year ago.
Greetings,
Daniel

If you don't have Service Pack 1 for Windows, you should get it. No guarantees, but it may help. For the moment, I'd just wait until the 3D renders are complete before importing... there isn't much else you can do at the moment, anyway.
There's only one application I've seen that can reliably, "works-every-time", read media files as they're recorded: Avid Newscutter...but then, it was created to do precisely that. AE wasn't.

Need help with compositing DPX red footage and workflow

Hi Guys...sorry to repost this..I've tried in many other forums, but haven;'t gotten a straight answer yet, I'm hoping anyone on this page can give advice...
Recently, I was asked by a friend to help on a low budget project by doing some roto and paint work, and some simple composites in After Effects. The question I have is regarding the specific workflow when it comes to dealing with Red Footage in AE. Currently, the project, which is very small, is getting it’s fine cut done by the editor, and their post supervisor asked how I would like the plates to be delivered for comping…I requested 4k 10 bit DPX files set to Red Gamma/ Red Log Film color space, which I understand to be standard for ingesting.
The question I have is the best workflow setup for this in AE? Because AE has recently upgraded with CC 2014, there are several new plug ins that I am not familiar with regarding importing DPX or Open EXR files, and the precise color space to work in so I can have a “normalized” project to comp in…..basically Log to Lin, and then exporting Lin to Log.
This is what I have gathered, and again, I’m not sure if this is correct, so please let me know your thoughts on the best way to work with this:
Basically I was told to work in sRGB color space in AE in order to work with my VFX comps and elements in the “normalized” sRGB linear colorspace, so go “Log to Lin"
1. Import the red footage as 10 bit DPX sequence into AE (with a RedLog Film color gamma applied)…the project settings should be set at 32 bit depth and the working space set to sRGB
2. Right Click on the DPX footage and select “Interpret Footage” select “Main” and then go to the “Color Management” Tab
3. At the “Assign Profile” Box, select “Universal Camera Film Printing Density”. This should “normalize” the footage in the RGB colorspace of the project, and I should be able to see a Rec709 (sRGB) image instead of flat Log.
For the Rendered Output from AE for the colorist…..
Best to render out two different formats, one in Log space for the colorist, and one in a 1080 QT linear space for approvals from the Director
1. In the AE Render queue, set up two output modules…go to “Output Module Settings” and select “Color Management” tab, then select the “Output Profile”.
2. Set the profile to “Universal Camera Film Printing Density”, and the file format to DPX…or whichever the colorist requests as the file format (png, Tiff, etc)
3. The second module can be set to sRGB in QT for approvals
Does this make sense? Is there a better way? Am I on point? Thanks so much, I really want to have this nailed down before I continue.

After Effects on mac error message, Disk Cache, can't do anything (CS6)

Hello,
My name is Lukas.
Everytime when I open my After Effects, the render window opens up and an error about the Disk - Cache appears.
I own the version 11.0.4.2 for CS6.
I cleared the DC already, I do have enough available Disk space, but I cant do anything.
All I can do is to open up the preferences Window and change Settings.
I can't do nothing in the rest of the menu bar (for example open up a new composition).
(I'm sorry for my english, my motherlanguage is german)
I would be very happy if you could help me with my problem!
Thanks in advance!

Na dann erzähl uns doch nochmal alles richtig. Aus dem Gestammel wird keiner schalu, zumal du uns keinerlei Informationen gegeben hast, wo denn der Cache liegt, wie deine Festplatten organisiert sind und welches System du verwendest...

My final cut studio keeps giving me this error out of memory message when ever i try to render a piece of footage and its closing unexpected. Does anybody know the reason?

My final cut studio keeps giving me this error out of memory message when ever i try to render a piece of footage and its closing unexpected. Does anybody know the reason?

I had this problem about 2 months ago and, as others have suggested in this thread, eventually traed it backed to some stills I had scanned and brought into the project. Accidentally I had changed the scanner settings, with the result that a couple of skills were well beyond 1980 x 1020 pixels. I resampled the stills and everything was fine again. Hope this might help.
