Hi,
I'm not a 100% sure this is the right answer but here is thoughts on why After Effects is crashing on you. Its crashing because of you not having a good "graphic card" on your computer. So if you don't what you need to do to stop it from crashing is In the Composition panel of after effects (the main panel) there a "lighting bolt" icon if you click on that icon to toggle it open you'll a menu & select this in the menu "Adaptive Resolution-OpenG1 Off" this will stop it from crashing it did for me. Hope this helps you or anybody else who may be having this problem....

After effects error chrash occured while invoking rendering plug in" advanced 3d"

I get this message everytime I try to export my project into a wmv or uncomressed avi. There aren´t many layers in the sequence, maybe 15. Error occurs in random places. My composition is 1920x 1080 25 fps. Error occurs using both render queue or file-> export
any thoughts??
My computer is 2x dual 3,0 ghz prosessor, 4 gb ram, nvidia 8600 gt in xp professional

yes it does ram preview. I tried to make a tiff sequence today but now got other error. Error reading frame for file from file "serimed.wmv" I have had this error also quite often. I haven´t tried other formats yet. I not very well aware of the settings and what tehy do in ae. So it is very possible that I have something wrong there. Are the settings that effect this error those in composition setting-> anvanced. Can you please explain me what these settings do and how should I adjust them to try to get rid of the error? I would be very happy.
Does more ram help? I have possibility to ad xp 64 and 4 more gb of ram but does it help? Is there other things I can do to get rid of there error messages?

After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in "Looks" URGENT!

My name is Tyler and i'm a Mult-Media Editor in training. Just recently meaning just this project i've been getting this error "After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in “Looks”." every time i try to render. If i try to remove the clip where it messes up and replace it with another it will just mess up in another spot.

I've read other forums and watched tutorials. I've already done the following. (Not in order used)
1. Downgrade Magic Bullet Looks from 1.4.3 to 1.4.2 (Didn't Work)
2. Upgrade Magic Bullet Looks to MBL 2.0 from Magic Bullet Suite 11 (Didn't Work)
3. Uninstall my gfx card and re-install it with the newer version (Didn't Work)
4. Reset AE preferences by pressing alt+shift+ctrl on the shortcut (Didn't Work)
5. Change render settings from H.264 -> .AVI (Didn't Work)
6. I've deleted "AE_OpenGL" from my After Effects folder (Didn't Work)

I've never had this problem before and hope that someone has a solution to this problem... if so please post an answer. I don't know if its because i put the plug in on all of my clips and then made an adjustment layer with another Magic Bullet Looks or if it's my clips fault but i just dont know what to do.
-Tyler

It sounds like Looks is only crashing on this project. If that is so then it's most likely a problem with one of your video clips. Either there's a corrupted frame or some other codec glitch that's throwing the errors. I'd suggest replacing footage items with temporary footage. You could even use solids. Replace one at a time, then undo, until you find the footage that's causing the crash. Then either re-compress that footage to another codec or replace it.
If Looks is crashing on every type of footage then you need to pursue other options that are more system related.

After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in "particular"

Hi, I was trying to following the Kramer's tutorial "The Ring" in AFx (http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/the_ring/), that involves the use of Trapcode Particular, and all went well..
Then I've customized it, not drawing a circle, but a square, and after a while AFx started to crash very frequently reporting this message:
After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effects plug in "particular"
this happens only when I work on the compositions with particular plug-in.
I'm working on my "old" iMac OSX version 10.4.11
2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 duo
1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
with CS3, open GL disabled (because not supported)
thanks for any help!

I'm guessing that you're running out of RAM.
The system requirements state 2GB as a minimum (I know the page links to CS4, but it seems the CS3 one's aren't available).
Have you made sure to run all necessary updates?
I know you've been able to work with 1GB for awhile, but you've probably been pushing that envelope.
What are your comp specs (frame size, frame rate, etc...)?
Are you trying to view at full res, or lower?
Have you modified your RAM preferences?

After effects error: crash occured while invoking effect plug-in

Hey, im using after effects cs6 and everytime i try to change something to my shatter effect (or other effects, mostly shatter) i get the error: after effects error: crash occured while invoking effect plug-in. Please help

Well I only have version CS3, however I got the same error while trying to open Knoll Light Factory plug-in. I tried several times and it never worked. I searched and found a couple of 'fixes' but they didn't work (for me).
What did fix my problem, I looked inside the After Effects directory, specifically at C:\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS3\Support Files\(PCI)\Setup\... - inside this directory is the file 'Setup.exe'. This setup file is the Adobe After Effects Third Party Content Installer. I ran this setup file, after it finished doing it's thing, and without rebooting, I opened AE, loaded a project and went to Effects and the KLF plug-in. I chose it and it opened perfectly without any glitches or errors. I'm not saying it will work for everyone but it did for me. Not sure if there is any difference in versions as well, like I said, I'm using CS3. I have since rebooted a couple of times and no problems with AE or the plug-ins (fingers-crossed).

After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking plug-in Classic 3D

I am Adobe After Effects CS6 11.0.4 on a windows 7 64 bit PC with 16gb of ram. I encounter this error: crash occurred while invoking plug-in Classic 3D when rendering. There was a similar thread stating there exists a fix for this issue for After Effects CC 12.2.1 . That fix does not work for version 11.0.4 Does a similar fix exist for version 11.0.4? Or can we have this fix created for version 11.0.4?

The Adobe download site for AE shows that I am on the latest version. I also ran the check updates from AE. It also stated that I am on the latest version. (Adobe - After Effects : For Windows ) What is the latest version that you are referencing?

Good question, but I would suspect that the previous instances simply never correctly unload and/or parts of the auxiliary services like dynamiclinkmanager or qt32server remain active/ loaded, ultimately causing a conflicht or simpyl chewing up all your memory...

Hi Szalam
Sorry it took so long to reply. These past days I was hesitant to do the System Restore so I had my brother-in-law to help me out today. Unfortunately he wasn't able to the Restore because it doesn't go back to where the date I wanted to go back to which was in January 19th when it was working. I was too late. So he re-installed the program and it seems to be working again. Thank you so much for helping me with this problem, I appreciate it a lot ^__^

After Effects error: crash occured when invoking...

I get this error: After Effects error: crash occured when invoking rendering plugin "AE_openGL" when I have videos on the timeline and I am scrolling through them.
I run Windows Prof 7, 2.67 gigahertz Intel Core i7 920 Multi-core (4 total), 12 GBs Ram, NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT (2x). My system is fast. I saw one suggestion to turn off openGL. How should I set up my preferences to avoid this?
Thanks.

OpenGL should work even with SLI off. Yes, you lose some performance, but for AE's limited use of these features, it should be neglectible. If for some reason you still get crashes, then you may need to push a few otehr knobs and levers in the driver settings or install a new7 different driver right away. i just cannot offer you a blanket solution that would work from a distance. OpenGL settings are delicate, so you'll have to invest some time in your own experimentation...

After effects error: exception occurred while processing effect "Pixelate". ( 25 ::0 )

I'm using Adobe After Effect CS5.5 and I'm having a problem with the following errow message:
PROBLEM / ERROR MESSAGE
After effects error: exception occurred while processing effect "Pixelate". ( 25 ::0 )
SCENARIO
It happens when I apply pixelate to text and have the text move onscreen from offscreen...
To clarify, let's say I apply the "pixelate" effect to text and move it off screen. Then, I place a keyframe and move 10 frames down. Next, I place another keyframe (ten frames past the 1st keyframe), and I move the text to the center of the screen. When I play the comp, the error appears as soon as the text is first visible in the preview window (onscreen).
I've already tried the following websites, but none of there solutions work:
http://myleniumerrors.com/2011/03/17/25-0/
http://www.techyv.com/questions/error-when-reusing-compositions-adobe-after-effects
Any thoughts?

I actually got it somewhat working...
Here's my System Specs:
Mac Pro
Processor 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 12 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
@Mylenium
I tried turning off Adaptive Resolution and/or turning of OpenGL. Nothing changed.
However, when I opened a new comp with only the text layer in question and tried messing with the keyframes, I found out something. If I move the keyframes closer (thus making the animation faster), the error didn't appear. But when I moved the keyframes farther away, the error appeared.
Ideally, I want the keyframes to move at it's original speed (not faster or slower).
Any thoughts?

Error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in "Shatter".

This is URGERNT! Can someone help me?! i dont know what to do! Below are the listed pop-ups that occur.

What Todd said. And surely some more info about what layer the effect is applied to and what else is going on might not hurt.

"crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in ripple" after effects cs5

hi comrades,
first, apologies for such a long post but I thought better to give as much detail as possible.
afx cs5 keeps crashing when trying to render a high quality quicktime.
I've rendered the whole timeline several times at quarter resolution no probs.
it is a large canvas (2 x HD projection). I'm trying to render a high quality 1440 px preview render.
I get
"crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in ripple"
even though the crash is happening 10-20 seconds before the layer containing the ripple effect appears in the timeline
so I make sure of the following
"Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously" is unticked
secret preferences purge every 1 frame
also preferences/preview/ unticked "Enable OpenGL"
and then try rendering just the 1 or 2 seconds where the crash occured - bingo it worked.
so I set the whole time line rendering again and it crashes a few seconds earlier than last time with the message
"crash in progress. Last logged message was <4140 <GetDepthPinFlags> <5> 2:24bit"
there is a bit of stock footage in there. its not an unusual codec, just photo jpeg. 24 bit
I tried turning those stock footage layers off, now I'm getting the previous crash message
"crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in ripple"
again, this crash happens around 10 seconds before the layer containing the ripple effect appears in timeline
there is a very high res 3d layer in the comp which the camera zooms into. I thought this maybe causing it.
although this layer ends around 38 seconds. twice I have watched the render get past the 40 second mark and then crash with one of the above errors.
Yet when I open the resulting quicktime to see where the crash occurred, the quicktime is only 35 or 37 seconds long.
I didn't think that was possible? I just watched it progress to 41 or 42 seconds.
could a large 3d layer and a large canvas be causing this crash prone behaviour in CS5?
Its been a while since I worked on these kind of large canvas projects, but cs4 and cs3 seemed able to handle it.
maybe I'm taking afx 64-bit power for granted and pushing it further than I used to.
using after effects cs 5 v10.0.2.4
intel i7-2760QM CPU @ 2.4GHz (dual quad core)
16gb Ram
win7 pro
Graphics Card Nvidia GTX 560M 1.5gb memory
quick update:
I can live without the ripple effect for now, so I have turned that off and set another render going. I could just as well use wave warp.
It now appears to be rendering at almost the 50 second mark so getting somewhere.
it is just a bit of text with ripple effect and no other effects.
A combination of the font and the ripple effect not liking each other very much perhaps?
Its also currently rendering an image sequence then I can start rendering again from the point it crashes but this will take a long time as timeline is 4m 30s.
also i need to send a high quality compressed version so I was going to import the high quality quicktime into adobe media encoder.
does AME cs5 allow import of image sequence or do i need to buy cs 5.5?
sorry for multiple questions and thanks in advance

A few things to look at and a few questions to ask:
First, What OS, installed Ram, and what Processor are you running?
Second, why 1440 X ? (this is a non square pixel width project if its 1440 X 1080) The only format that will playback without distortion would be DVCPro HD. If it were my project I'd be working 1920 X 1080 unless there was a very compelling reason to do otherwise.
Third, when you say very high rez 3D layer what do you mean? Only the pixel dimensions matter. Since it's a 3D layer it should be scaled to 100% and at some point in your project the distance between the camera and the high rez still should be somewhere close to the same value as the Zoom value of the camera. IOW, look at this screenshot:
The camera is centered in the world and at 100 pixels in Z, the high rez layer is centered in the world and at 950 in Z, the difference is 850 pixels, the zoom value is 847 pixels, therefore the layer is at approximately 100% scale, is going to look as good as it can look, and no matter what the pixel dimensions are, it's the right size for the composition.
If the high rez layer were closer than the zoom value the effective scale would be higher than 100% and the image would not contain enough pixels. If the high rez layer never got any closer than 2 or 3 times the zoom value (1600 pixels) then the image is too big. This could be causing your crash.
The last thing you should check are the Secret preferences. You find them by going to Preferences>General and holding down the shift key while you click. This will reveal the Disable Layer Cache and Purge settings. Try purging every 2 or 3 frames.
Last of all, AME CS5 should import a JPEG image sequences just fine according to the Docs. It's easy to give it a try. I've never tried myself. CS5.5 should import any type of image sequence. You can also import your AE project directly.
One other thing, you can also pick up an animation codec qt after a crash as well as a photoJpg QT. The movies will be in tact, it's just a little harder to pick up the right frame number.
