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 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 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 CS6 render fails!! Help!!!

  • 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.

  • After Effects CS6 Update fails with the code (U43M1D204)

    I was just downloading and installing the latest updates on both my windows workstation and my Apple MBP.  Everything went fine on the windows machine but I keep getting the following error when my MBP attempts to update After Effects CS6:
    Update Failed
    The download appears corrupted. Please try again after a few minutes.
    (U43M1D204)
    I am running the latest version of Yosemite (10.10.2).  Is there some half downloaded file I can delete to make this work?  I've waited.  I've rebooted.  I'm VERY reluctant to delete my current installation of CS6 if this is what is required.  I'm an instructor at a local community college.  The college currently only runs CS6.  I teach an animation class that uses After Effects and as such I need CS6 working on my MBP.  If this update is non critical I'll just let it ride.  Oh, yea and I also keep AE CC and AE CC 2014 for no other reason than I can take a students CC 2014 file all the way back to CS6 so they can work in class.  I'm guessing I'll need to add CC 2015 or what ever they call it so I will have 4 installations of AE just to do file conversions..... but that is another thread.
    Any help on the current install issue would be appreciated

    What update is it? What current version of CS6 do you have?
    It may be a permissions thing. Mac OSX goes all screwy in the permissions whenever it updates. Try fixing that first. fixing permissions problem that impedes start of Adobe applications

  • How can I update After Effects CS6 to work with Mavericks?

    I bought CS6 in September and now I have updated to Mavericks on my Mac.  It says it won't run on Mavericks?  Is there a new download?  I don't want to move to Creative Cloud, I just want to keep my purchased version.

    Adobe After Effects CC and CS6 require updates to be compatible.

  • How can I go from Premiere Pro CS5 to After Effects CS6? (Problem)

    Hi,
    I am trying to send my clip from Premiere Pro CS5 to After Effects CS6, but when I right click on the clip, I can't even select the option to send it to After Effects. I can see the option to send it to After Effects, but I just cant select it. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    -Billy

    You can do what you want... only going the other way!
    You can import a CS5 Premiere Project (in its entirety
    or a selected sequence) into CS6 Ae.
    In CS6 Ae:
    File>Import>Adobe Premiere Pro Project...
    Navigate to your CS5 Premiere project, double-click
    and select 'All Sequences', or your preferred sequence.
    As Jim points out, Dynamic Linking will only work
    between matching versions of Pr and Ae.

  • Adobe After Effects CS6 takes FOREVER to lock existing frames before rendering

    My After Effects CS6 locks up for 3 minutes "Locking Existing Frames" before it even begins to start rendering, every time I need to preview anything - even at the lowest possible quality.
    The render goes perfectly normal - it is not the rendering that is the problem - it is the "Locking Existing Frames" process BEFORE rendering that freezes up my computer for 3 minutes, and ruining my life.
    I am using Adobe After Effects CS6 on a Mac Book Pro with a 2.9 GHz Core i7 processor (2 cores) and 8 GB of RAM.
    Please help me understand what is happening when it is "Locking Existing Frames," and what some solutions could be to reduce the amount of time it takes to do this.
    ALSO: I have scoured the Web for hours looking for the answer to this problem, and to this point it has never been solved.  If you can solve this issue, Adobe should give you a promotion and $1 million.

    Hi Rick and Greg,
    Thanks for the quick responses.  Below are all the details to all your questions.  Also - just to emphasize again - my rendering goes super awesomely fast.  It is not the rendering.  It is the "Locking Existing Frames" process before the rendering that is ruining my life.
    FREE MEMORY:
    This is brand new Mac Book Pro with hardly anything stored on it.
    The 8 GB of RAM is split into 2 memory slots, each with 4GB of RAM
    3RD-PARTY CODECS:
    I am not aware of any third-party codecs in this system.  I imported some fonts (ITC Franklin Gothic) and some video files (see below), but I am not aware of any third-party codec installed on this system.
    DISC CACHE:
    My Disc Cache is enabled
    My maximum disc cache size is 69 GB
    I do not have a seperate "fast hard drive" or "SSD" seperate from my main hard drive, where I store my footage.
    MPEG SOURCE FILES:
    If by source files, you're asking about the video files I imported:
    2 MP4s (5 sec. each)
    3 QuickTime .mov (3 sec. each)
    1 Audio-only FLV. (2 minute background music throughout video; used to be a Premiere working file)
    MULTIPROCESSING
    Turned off, but still locks up forever before rendering.
    ADDITIONAL FUN FACTS:
    Here are some additional observations that might help:
    It doesn't just take a long time to start rendering; it freezes my entire computer for the duration of the "Locking Existing Frames" process - putting my entire life on hold for 3 minutes, every time I need to preview a minor detail... It's a nightmare.
    The video is 1 min. 45 sec. long so far, and has 15 sec. to go.
    The video is comprised of 99 percent motion graphics, and 1 percent actual footage (Occupy Wall Street hates my footage)
    The complexity in this video is that there are a lot of compositions inside of compositions inside of compositions, but even when I go to the very beginning of the first comp - where the only animation is a line being drawn with the "Stroke" effect - it still takes 3 minutes to "Lock Existing Frames."
    Again... The rendering goes super fast after the "Locking Existing Frames" process.  The problem is NOT with the rendering.  The problem is the "Locking Existing Frames" process BEFORE the rendering starts.
    This is my job and I can't do efficiently until I solve this problem, so I will be very responsive until we can identify the issue.
    Thanks again for all your helpful responses!

  • 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

  • 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 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.
