After Effects Cs6 Render continuously fails at the same Frame?!

So I was editing a Call Of Duty episode that I've been working on for a week... Once I got it finished I rendered it out and about half way through the render fails every single time! I've read others like these and I know I have enough RAM, but the wierd thing about it is that every single time I don't get an error message... Just "Render Failed." Every single time at about 47 seconds. Please help I have a guy waiting on it and it was my best so far anyways, if any of you know the solution to this I'd be very happy.

You have provided us with no information to figure out your problem. What version of CS6 are you running? 11.0.0? 11.0.1? 11.0.2? What OS? What are your system specs? What's in your comp? What effects have you used? Have you installed any third-party plugins? Have you installed any third-party codecs?
And, most importantly, WHAT IS IN YOUR COMP AT 47-SECONDS IN?

After Effects CS6 render fails!! Help!!!

Hi,
I have an issue with my Adobe After Effects CS6. When I try to render a compostion that contains video and audio, the render fails. I need your help very urgently.

We need to know a lot more if we're going to help you. Please provide answers to the questions listed here: "FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?"

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 CS6 render-only: Custom output modules?

With After Effects CS5.5, we've been able to include custom output module templates (so, aside from the default Lossless, TIFF Sequence with Alpha, etc.). We're having trouble doing the same with CS6. Is there any way to make this work?

this explains what we are trying to use, non-royalty-bearing mode.

please understand we are using a render queue to remotely execute aerender from the commandline.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/aftereffects/cs/using/WS3878526689cb91655866c1103a4f2dff7-79a3 a.html
this is the command that is entered:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS6\Support Files\aerender.exe" -project "\\nas3\graphics\jobs\13912_SHIELD\cmp\BB\BB_CS6_Test2\BB_CS6_Test2.aep" -comp "HeroComp" -output "\\nas3\graphics\jobs\13912_SHIELD\images\BB\BB_CS6_Test2\BB_CS6_Test2.[####].sgi" -v "ERRORS_AND_PROGRESS" -RStemplate "Full" -OMtemplate "SGI_Premultiplied" -s 11 -e 20
if we place ae_render_only_node.txt into the appropriate folder this is the error that is generated:
has video RAM(MB): 0
aerender version 11.0x378
PROGRESS: Adding specified comp to Render Queue
aerender ERROR: No output module template was found with the given name.
LoadLibrary "n" failed!
LoadLibrary "n" failed!
if we register the software aerender correctly renders the frames.
note: the sgi file format does not have codec licensing restrictions such as mpeg2.

After Effects CS6 - render files huge!

Ok I am tying myself in knots here.
I have a 7 second text animation on a plain background in After Effects CS6 which I want to export so I can use it in Premiere Pro CS6 withan alpha channel so i can superimpose it over video. The file is 1080P 25 because that matches my video. the first time I rendered it it came out at 89Mb which was fine. But I wanted to tweak the text positioning so I did that - now every time I render the file is around 1.5Gb!
I am using Windows so i can't render Quicktime with an alpha channel which means I have to use avi but what settings should I use? (Avi is the only format which allows me to export RGB + alpha).
I have to say that I have used many video programs in my life but I find After Effects the single most unituitive piece of software I have ever encountered. Why can't it give you an indication of how big your render file is likely to be to gvie youa t least some clue as to what settings to use?

That is not correct.
You can install QuickTime on Windows and use QuickTime for output from After Effects.

After effects warning: Audio conforming failed for thefollowing file:___________.cfa. Perhaps due to disk space.
I am working on a project for an internship and I am editing a video I had the video files working and then I started doing some editing and animations for the video and now for some reason when I open the file into AE I get this message so I tried starting over same message when I import the video files.

I had this problem after converting some MPG's to avi's... the resulting filenames were 'foo.MPG.avi' ... the error message only seemed to indicate it was foo.MPG, so AE thought it was a MPG container type by parsing wrong, when it wasnt. i renamed all my files to just the avi, like 'foo.avi' and then imported into AE and it worked, no errors.

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 Effects cs6 render just shadow

I want to render just the shadow on a shadow catcher layer.
When I turn off the accept lights on the shadow catcher layer it turns black.
What am I doing wrong.
I saw this work on a tutorial By Ian Robinson, in Affter effects cs6 essential train chapter 12.
But when I do it it doesn't work to render just the shadow.

Hi Sorry for taking so long.
Thank you for your responses!
Not sure what you need Mylenium but i'll try to provide screen shots.
This is the shot with 3D text, shadow and accepts light on, on shadow catcher layer
Shadows only and accepts lights on on shadow catcher layer
Shadows only accepts lights off on shadow catcher layer
Shadows only accepts lights off on shadow catcher layer
I hope this helps.
Thank you.

After Effects cs6 crashes when scrubbing through the timeline. What do I do?

So whenever I scrubb through the timeline of my footage after effects will freeze, then crash. It happens everytime. Before I got the full version of After Effects and only had the trial, this would never happen. But once I got the full version it happensall the time. If someone could please help me it would be most appreciated. I am on a Windows 7 Home with 8gb of ram. My version of after effects is 11.0.4

After Effects CS6 Render Farm

Hi All,
Another Friday, Another test of new AE waters....
I am busy reading up and trying to figure out how to use the three MAC's in the office to work together as a render farm. I have gone through the documentation and created a very simple scenario:
1) Windows XP "server" (it has the shared disk that i use for storage - 2TB spinning disk)
2) Created "Watch Folder" on XP Machine
3) all three MAC's can see and access the shared folder
4) Created a simple project - One 192MB video file (XMP) - applied keylight and matte choker
5) I did a render on the MAC, using only itself and standard setttings to a TGA sequence, to another shared folder on the XP server - this process took 3 minutes and 7 seconds to complete
6) I re-rendered the same project, with no changes on the mac, with the following settings:
and send them all to the watch folder (project saved there, files collected there etc.
7) once the project starts, it takes 20 minutes.
Is there a specific reason why the time would increase so drastically rather than decrease?
The macs all have 1 quad core CPU - 16GB memory and they are connected to a GB switch (all connecting at 1GBps) - If i check the tas manager on the XP pc, network utilization never goes above 25%.
Thanks guys,
Pierre

Hi Pierre,
I believe what you maybe seeing is a limitation on XP's file sharing. For the sake of simplicity network rendering treats every core as a user. So depending on which version of XP you are running it will either allow 5 or 10 users to connect to the computer at a given time. If you have other sharing services enabled (such as printer sharing) any connections to these devices count against this number of users. Given your other thread on where you discuss the rendering nodes, if possible you may want to try using windows 7 (this allows 20 users) or one of the windows server products (max # of users is based on CAL's)
Edited:
A couple of other things came to mind if you are using watch folders.
- If you are running anti-virus software on the server, ensure the watch folder directory and subfolders are excluded from scanning.
- Turn off render multiple frame simultaneously' in the preferences on the render nodes.
Hope it helps

After Effects CS6: Adjacent text layers overlap by one frame, can't fix it

Adjacent text layers, which we are using to subtitle bits of video, butt up against each other and in some instances it's fine (the text changes at the correct frame), but in others the text from the first one bleeds by one frame into the second and overlaps. If I shorten the time on the first one by one frame, there is a gap with no text. How can I fix this? The comp is built from the video so the frame rate of the comp is the same for the video file.
Thanks for any help!
Glen

Thanks very much Mylenium for your help - I've scoured the file looking for everything you mention, and there anything fancy at all. I'm using no time-stretching or remapping, simply putting a text layer on top of a video, and moving its in and out points. No blurs or odd keyframes as far as I can tell. Video and comp are both 29.97 framerate (comp created using "New comp from selection").

After Effects CS6 - RENDER FAIL.

Right so basically I'm trying to render a simple video including the following effects: Twixtor, RSMB & Magic Bullet Looks. When I try to render the video using the H264 option in 30 frames per second, in 1280 x 720, I receive the following errors and I'm really clueless on how to solve this. I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out, also My computer specifications are:
4 GB Ram
R7 260X 2GB GPU
AMD FX 6300
Windows 8.1 Pro
500GB Hardrive

Oh alright, erm the composition settings are: 1280 x 720, 30 FPS, Lock Aspect ratio to 16:9 (1.78), Pixel Aspect Ratio: Squares Pixels, Frame rate is 60, Resolution is Full 3.5MB per 8BPC frame.
The output is: Quality is Best, Resolution is Full, size is 1280 x 720, frame rate is 30 FPS, and format in the output module is H.264 with a bitrate of 6.00 mbps.
Also I've just tried removing my adjustment layer which consists of the reelsmart motion blur and magic bullet it looks, it seems to be rendering just fine. So could it possibly be one of those effect? I'm really not sure because I always use those and it always has rendered just fine! Thanks so much for replying though man. I hope you can find a fix.

My After Effects CS6 won't update from the Creative Cloud

Update Failed.
Download error. Please contact customer support.
Can anyone help me? I tried customer support and there was nothing. The support sucks.

Nevermind all I had to do was run it as admin. I'm dumb.

Can anyone tell me where the default location is for the disc cache in After Effects CS6?

I recently changed the location of the disc cache in After Effects CS6 but I failed to empty the cache before changing the location and I need to delete all of the old cached files. Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit OS.
Thanks in advance!
