After Effects CC Rendering Problem

I'm using After effects to make a video intro that's pretty short. Problem is, when I go to check the rendered video it's a 1/10th of the length I wanted it to be. The animation and optical flare show up, but the file is only 2 seconds long. When I check the render settings the in/out is 0/15 seconds. Anyone know why it's making the video so short yet still doing all the animation I wanted?

What I ended up doing was importing a video with the background I needed that was the length I wanted the effects go for so that the program would export the whole file in the 12 second format I wanted, not just an accelerated version of it.

AFTER EFFECTS CS4 Rendering Problems....

Hey people I have been having some rendering problems on CS4 It's very random when i'm getting these errors, sometimes it's just for the one frame..which i'm not bothered about because at 60fps, 1 frame isn't going to be noticable. But at the end of my last render, the last 10 frames are like this, but differ between pink and white at the top. (see picture at the bottom)
Here are my settings
lossless, with audio checked
avi output format
no compression method
Also i've re-rendered the dodgy footage in sony vegas but that didn't change anything
that is what the frame looks like....
If anyone can help me id be so thankful.... so please post!!!
also if you have any questions just post and i will get back to you ASAP

Since we don't know what this frame is SUPPOSED to look like, it's extremely difficult to offer up a solution.
If you're talking about the weird color in the corners, you can work in 16 or 32-bit comps, or add a little noise to the image. Not much.

After Effect error: Rendering error while writing to file

Greetings,
I'm a beginner and am starting to learn most of the basics but every time I try to render a specific type of composition, I get this massage:
After Effect error: Rendering error while writing to file "C:Users\Admin\Videos\720p.mp4".Unknown Error! (-1610153453)
RENDER SETTINGS:
LENGTH: 8min. and 30 sec
FORMAT:H.264
CODEC: mp4
RESOLUTION: 1280 x 720
AUDIO: 48.000 kHz, Stereo
OUTPUT LOCATION: C DRIVE (22GB FREE)
I got Windows Ultimate 64-bit and Adobe After Effect CS5.5 64-bit (both on C drive) installed in my laptop.
When I first installed after effect, I rendered a part of the whole composition (AVI, 720p) and it worked but after that when I rendered with
format H.264 it showed this massage. Then I tried to change it back to AVI. and rendered. again the same massage.
My C drive isn't full, I have 22GB SPACE AVAILABLE.
And when I try to save it on D (114GB free) or E drive (33GB free), It shows me the SAME MASSAGE.
PLEASE HELP
Thanks in advance.

Hi HR and everyone that have the problem error (-1610153453)
In my case I solved the problem changing the destination folder, I was rendering in a folder with a non english character! in my spanish language we have the "Ñ" ('n' with a wave on top ) after effects mp4 codec NO Ñ or cyrillic, etc...
I finally solve it thanks the russian friends: (http://nix-studio-edition.ru/tutorials/faq/1083-ae-1610153453.html) and Google translator
Hope it helps to desperate workers
Thanks

After Effects Error: rendering error while writing to file...Output Module failed - 1610153646

Hi – I’m currently working with someone who is running After Effects 5.5v10.5.0.253 on a PC which is running Windows 7 Ultimate. The computer has just recently been built and the software is newly installed. (ie. a couple of weeks old, max). Up until now, we have been using After Effects with no real issues. But tonight, we started to see the following error message, when trying to render something out:
“After Effects Error: rendering error while writing to file xxxxx. Output Module failed, the file may be damaged or corrupted -1610153646” – displayed during render, which meant the render failed.”
We started to review forums to see if we could come up with a fix and tried a few of the more common suggested solutions, including:
Make sure there are no third-party plug-ins or Windows incompatible elements installed - as it’s a pretty new install, we haven’t added anything except out-of-the box elements.
Clear the render queue – did this, no change.
Reinstall Quicktime – did this, no change.
Reinstall Creative Suite – also no change.
Check the default program to open .mov files is Quicktime – Quicktime was already the default.
A bit more detail about the machine...
Ram is 32gb
GPU is GeForce GTX 660ti
250gb soild states
2tb raid drive
Any help would be much appreciated. This is now happening on all AE files, even files that worked fine earlier in the week. Other than the AE and QT reinstalls mentioned above, nothing new has been added to the machine this week. On a deadline – so a quick response would be amazing, right about now. Thanks.

Hi Mylenium- thx for the quick response. We have have tried a bunch of different settings. AVIs work and we can do image sequences too. The only major problem seems to be with Quicktime files. While I appreciate your suggetion to convert with AME - this is only a workaround. Was really hoping for a solution that will fix the problem in After Effects? Heard rumor from a few friends in the biz, that this is a major bug... if possible, some feedback from Adobe product devs or someone with a technical background would be great! Thx.

After Effects Warning: A problem occurred when processing OpenGL commands

Hi There Fellow Adobe After Effects Users.
Please could some one help assist me with the following error i am getting.
I bought a template and needed to do a logo animation reveal. It was done using After Effects CC for PC.
AE had to then convert it to Mac which did so successfully. I was able to modify, add my logo and render out.
The following day i opened the file again and it gave me the follwoing error:
"After Effects Warning: A problem occurred when processing OpenGL commands"
What is confusing to me is that this issue would normally appear if my graphics cards did not support OpenGL, and it would not have opened in the first place if it was not supported.
My graphics card is a - ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB - running Mavericks OS. So i know that this card does support GPU acceleration.
Please could someone point me in a direction that will fix this.
Thank you so much

Thank you for the update Mylenium.
If I look at my display info, the card says OpenGL engine. Does this mean anything?
If it's not supported, then what's the point in purchasing a Mac If you cannot use AE's full capacity. Mac doesn't put Nvidia cards in there machines and on the Adobe website, ATI cards ate not listed; but in the same breath it says that most ATI cards that have come out in the past 5 years are supported. Surely Adobe and their technicians must have spoken with Mac technitions.
I am considering to buy the new Mac Pro; but am definitely going to change my mind if I cannot use AE's full compatibility. I don't see why spend so much cash if the cards aren't great.
Please could you then tell me what functions to switch off in the project file. I'll get the guy whom I bought the template from to switch of those functions.
Thank you.
Have a great day

After effects error: rendering error while writing to file. Disk full.

Hi,
I tried to render a video in AE CC 2014, with RGB + Alpha as I wanted to keep the background transparent (rotoscoped) so that I can then use it in Premiere.
I chose to export in Quicktime, with uncompressed 8bit.
After it rendered it for a little while I had a window pop-up saying
After effects error: rendering error while writing to file "E:...blabla". Disk full. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153463).
I read a thread posted in the forums but i do not understand the solution provided there.. What is a POD??
I have a Win7 Ultimate, x64. Plenty of disk space, and 16 Go ram.
Please help, I canoot go further in my project with this bug...
Jaywaii

Is the drive you are rendering to formatted FAT32 by any chance? If so you can only render up to 4Gb for one file. Try rendering out a TIFF sequence instead. Litte tip - push the LZW compression tickbox in format options for a lossless compression, this will keep you file size way down.

After Effect warning: A problem occurred when processing OpenGL commands

I have After Effects CS6 in a computer where also CS5.5 is installed. 64bit windows 7 Ultimate 20GB memory and two AMD Radeon HD 6900 Series Display adapters with drivers updated an hour ago (Driver date 27.7.2012, version 8.982.0.0).
When trying to use After Ecffects, I get error message "After Effect warning: A problem occurred when processing OpenGL commands" immediately when clicking Composition window.
What could be done?

Not much, I'm afraid. You probably need an older graphics driver. Other than that you could always disable the second card or play with the configuration. Unfortunately some not so smart person decided that CS6 would no longer need manual OpenGL control for the user, so there's no way to suppress it from within the program to force-revert to software-only modes in case of such issues...

After Effects Mac Rendering issues

Hello,
First the computer specs:
Mac OS X Vers. 10.6.6
2x2.66 Ghz Quad-core Intel Xenon Processor
32 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 Memory.
2x 1T Hard Drives
After Effects Version CS4
Problem:
I am working on something that should be very basic and easy, but I can't even render a preview for it without the program either crashing or it taking 60 minutes to render about 3 seconds. I Created a text that I am turning to sand and dissolving off the screen using the Particle Playground effect. This is what seems to be bogging down the processor or ram so much that it won't preview or render in even close to a timely matter. I was wondering if this is a common problem or not.
With the amount of processor and Ram size, I thought that turning on the multiprocessing would do the trick, but there was no change. In the preferences window it says that the Total After Effects Memory usage is 26.87 GB. I have 2.09 Allocation per CPU. I am at a loss and have not found a similar post, so I am asking for help since this project is due in two weeks and this effect is key to the opening of the shadow sequences generated with after effects.
Thanks all.

Sorry, file attachments have been eliminated from this forum due to abuse & security issues. You would need to post with another host and provide the link here - even via Yousendit would do?
How many particles are being created in your comp? PP is an absolute render hog, and a nightmare to use, frankly. You may wish to investigate a more modern and efficient particle option, like Trapcode Particular or Trapcode Form. Here's a tutorial on using Form to do a text-to-sand effect.
Other AE plugins that may assist in "shattering" a layer are CC Pixel Poly or Shatter.

After Effects CC 2014 problem: Image from frame from the last Premiere CC-After Effects link permanently burned into new project compositions.

One frame from one of the clips I sent from Premiere to After Effects through "replace with After Effects composition" was permanently burned in After Effects and now it appears in every new composition of every new project I create as the background of such composition.
For example, I sent from Premiere a clip of a building to After Effects for color correction with Finesse, and warp stabilization and then after rendering, finishing, and closing all the applications, now, every time I open After Effects for any other project, whether already-created or brand-new, every existing or newly created composition (in a Mac Command N) you see the image of the building as the background of the composition. If you create a new composition, while it remains empty of any layers, you see the image of the building. If you have an already-created composition with layers, when you turn off all the eyes of the layers, you would expect to see black (nothing) in the composition window (if that's the color you assigned to be as the background of the comp), but instead you see the building. If you change the color of the comp's background in Composition Settings, you still see the building as the background. If you render such empty composition (no layers) you render out the image of the building, not black. I tried clicking everywhere and going through the preferences, and even uninstalling the application and re-installing it, but it seems to be permanently burned in into every comp's background.
Please, any ideas of what's going on and how to get rid of it?
Thanks so much for your help,
RR.

Thanks so much Dave. It fixed the problem.

After Effects CC Rendering Issues.

Hey guys,
I'm rendering DSLR footage out of After Effects for editing and grading. I have every clip in it's own comp with the Neat Video denoising plugin applied and some film grain, and I'm rendering every comp individually as DNxHD. The problem is that each comp seems to taken significantly longer to render than the one before it. For example, the first comp I rendered was about 11 minutes long and took a little under 2 hours. The next was only about 10 minutes long, but took 5 hours. I've even walked into the office in the morning to find comps on pace to take 10 hours. I'm rendering off a 2013 iMac with 24 GBs of RAM and a 3.5 GHz i7 processor rendering onto a 4 TB thunderbolt G-Raid. I have 18 GBs of Ram allocated to AE, and mulitprocessing enabled. Any ideas? I'm assuming there's some aspect of memory management that I'm not using properly. I should also point out that when I start rendering, the fan on my iMac goes into overddrive, but when I come in the next day everything is whisper quiet. Could my computer be overheating a scaling back it's work load?
-Mike

Here's a workflow idea:
You can import a Premiere project into AE and it makes a composition with each cut on its own layer. So you could import your edit into AE and maintain all of the cuts. (As mentioned, you won't have transitions in place, but a dissolve is easy enough to create in AE.)
There are scripts out there (like VideoCopilot's Trim Compose script) that will make a composition for each layer (each cut, in this case) and you can then render each cut out with your noise removal.
You could then import those files into Premiere to carry on with your XML to Resolve workflow and you won't have rendered hours of noise removal out of AE that you'll never use.
Another option is to skip putting each clip into its own composition and simply render the whole thing out and then grade that. Alternatively, you could precompose whole scenes in AE and render those out.
Another, entirely different thought, would be to use Color Finesse in AE to do your color grading. But, if you're familiar with Resolve, you might prefer that.

Optimizing After Effects Performance/ Rendering Speed for large projects

Problem:
My after effects is extremely slow and i want to use an external harddrive to increase the speed temporarily until i can afford to change the internal hard drive. i also have other video production software like Cinema 4D, Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, Cheetah 3D, etc.
Macbook pro with the following specs:
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB (Available space approx 91.GB)
Software OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)
Action:
i have set my Disk Cache to use the 500GB Gtech firewire external hardrive in After Effects Preferences
Issue: After effects still slow
Recommendation From expert: Change Internal Hard Drive to 512 GB SSD HARD DRIVE
Question: How can i optimize After effects with the current hard drive space i have right now?

Thank you. As i stated earlier i am new to after effects and video editing in general so this is a learning process for me. i have also realized that i have soo much going in the layer that i need to clean up and prerender as you said. Also one of the biggest mistake i am making is with the "composed individual lyric effect" i created. As i said earlier, i masked the lyrics to audio spectrum and choose the mp3 song in other to make the effect active, but since i am working on the lyric composition individually i did not crop the yellow bar in the workframe to the exact part of the lyric that applies to the song. hence leaving me with 100+ of words with each having the full length of the song in each individual composition i created in the master layer, in addition to the spin fx effect that i have not prerendered. After effects is trying to render alll these together basically. The extremely slow rendering procesing time arose when i combined all individual lyric effect into the layer while also implementing typography tricks like in the same layer.
Basically, my question is should i reduce the frame work in each lyric composition to the exact section of the song that applies, and will this improve the overall rendering time in the master layer and solve my problem?
Also should i peform my typography skill like position, scaling rotation and so on in the individual layer/composition of the lyric effect i made in order to further save rendering time in the master layer?

After Effects CS6 rendering takes forever

I am currently working on After Effects CS6 and I'm wondering why it takes a long time for me to render a composition. I am not sure if the problem is with the mac that i am using or with the settings i have on AE. When I render the composition of 21 seconds video with 1080p 29.97fps it takes 5 hours and eralier i triend rendering again and it takes 7 hours. is this normal? Please help me.
I am using Mac with this spe
Processor 2 x 2.4 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
Here's the screenshot of my render queue
HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! THANKS!

Your screenshot has been scaled so much that we can not really see any details about the comp, only some general information about the render cue, but that looks like a lot of 3D layers, some lighting, and some movement. As Mynenium said, this may be completely normal. Many of my more complex projects take four or five minutes per frame to render. It all depends on the assets.
A suggestion for speeding things up is to make all of your artwork no bigger than it will appear in the final comp. If the images in this comp are the same size as the comp and they are never bigger than 1/8 of the comp window then you're wasting a lot of time scaling them down.
This project could also be done with Particular or other particle system. Same goes there, make sure that the artwork is not bigger than it needs to be.

After effects only renders 30 seconds!

HELP! I'm using After Effects CS6 and trying to render an AVI file, but it only renders 30 seconds! No matter where i start the green bar will only go 30 seconds into the file It doesn't give me an error message or anything, it just says "Render Complete" even tho its no where near complete

The other thing that may be going on is that your work area is set to 30 seconds. Check your Render Settings for in and out point.
If that's not it then we need a screenshot of your comp with the properties of the layers revealed (press the u key twice) and also your render settings along with a concise description of your workflow. I've made the only two guesses to the problem that can be made without details.

When I add my composition to the Adobe Media Encoder from After Effects, it renders out incorrectly?

Why is it that when I add my composition directly from after effects to the adobe media encoder, it renders out of the adobe media encoder incorrectly? By that I mean the video comes out a little scrambled- parts of it overlap other parts. Is this an issue with 'dynamic link'? Did I do something wrong? I'm working in CC.

I also don't understand what you are saying. What do you mean by "parts of it overlap other parts"? A screen shot might help.
What were your render settings in AME? (Format, Codec, data rate, etc.)
What is in your AE comp? If footage, tell us what format, codec, etc. Tell us what effects were used too.
What exact version number of AE CC are you using?

Can I work on a different project in After Effects while rendering another (AE) project in Media Encoder?

(I'm using the current AE CC 2014)... I've tried twice to start working on a project in After Effects while a DIFFERENT project is rendering in Media Encoder. Both times it (Media Encoder) hung up/crashed. I thought the point of a separate encoder program was so I COULD work on another project in AE at the same time another project was rendering in Media Encoder.
Am I doing something wrong, or do I just have to WAIT for the encoding in Media Encoder to finish before I can do other things in AE?
[I tried searching through help. If I it's there... I just missed it.]
Thanks (in advance) for the help.

You should wait.
What are the specs of your computer?
