After Effects Error: Keylight out of memory (4)

After Effects CS4 keeps crapping out on me, and won't allow me to render my projects. I keep getting the message, "After Effects Error: Keylight out of memory (4)"
I'm running a brand new IMac 3.4 GHz Intel Core I7 (which I understand gives me virtually 8 cores), and I have 8 GB of Ram.
I've tried with multi-frame processing enabled, and dissabled and the same thing. When I tried with the mulit-frame enabled I selected allow 4 CPU's Free and allow 6CPU's free, and still the same results. Any help would be greatly apprecicated.
Thanks!

Since you run AE 9, it's probably your footage.  Okay, it's the most likely cause, at least.  Here's a copy 'n paste response I used to use a LOT  on the Creative COW:
Dave's Stock Answer #1:
If the footage you imported into AE is  any  kind of the following -- footage in an HDV acquisition codec, MPEG1, MPEG2, AVCHD, mp4, mts, m2t, H.261 or H.264 -- you need to convert it to a different codec.
These kinds of footage use temporal, or interframe compression. They have keyframes at regular intervals, containing complete frame information.  However, the frames in between do NOT have complete information.  Interframe codecs toss out duplicated information.
In order to maintain peak rendering efficiency, AE needs complete information for each and every frame. But because these kinds of footage contain only partial information, AE freaks out, resulting in a wide variety of problems.
I'm a Mac guy, so I like to convert to Quicktime movies in the Animation or PNG codecs; both are lossless.  I'll

  • After Effects error: Quicktime export failed - Out of memory (-108)

    I am using CS3 After Effects and have been receiving this After Effects error: Quicktime export failed - Out of memory (-108).  Can anyone help with this issue?
    I am using a Mac Pro 6-Core Intel Xeon 2.66 GHz with 6 memory slots at 1GB DDR3 ECC at Speed 1333MHz.

    Sounds like one of those many "old version of AE on new hardware" issues... You may need to fiddle with Rosetta or install it in teh first place, if you haven't already and you may also require a specific older version of Quicktime...

  • What does "After Effects error: Not enough memory to initialize PSL. ( 83 :: 8 )" mean?

    So, about a week ago I did a fresh install of 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate on a new PC, and subscribed to the Adobe Creative Cloud, installing After Effects CS6 and Photoshop CS6 from the Adobe Application Manager, then doing all updates (and I just checked right now at 10:35PM on July 26th, I have the latest versions of everything).
    After Effects was working completely normal, then just now, I tried to import a Photoshop .psd and I got the error message:
    After Effects error: Not enough memory to initialize PSL.
    ( 83 :: 8 )
    Then After Effects crashed. So now it opens up normally, but when I try to import a .psd or open an After Effects project saved from an earlier version of After Effects (CS3 to CS5) I get the same error and a crash, every single time.
    Searching the forums, I see people talking about this error when importing .psds into CS5, and they say that getting the latest updates solved the issue for them (which obviously can't help me). I'm running all legit software on a brand new computer with 32 GB of RAM which has passed all my physical stress tests so I know it's not hardware related.
    The one thing I saw people suggest is to hold down Ctrl-Alt-Shift when starting the program. When I do this, Windows asks if I want to allow After Effects to make changes to the system, and when I say yes, I can import .psds and open the older AE files. When I close After Effects and reopen it without holding down the Ctrl-Alt-Shift keys, it goes right back to crashing.
    Obviously the smart-*** answer is "then hold down Ctrl-Alt-Shift, dummy", and I'll do that for now, but is there any clue what the problem is?
    I feel like kind of a chump because I decided to stop using my student versions of Adobe software (I haven't been a student for about four years) and pay the full price for the cloud membership and the latest creative suite, and it's full of bugs.

    Now, I get the same ( 83 :: 8 ) error listed above, followed by a new dialog window that reads:
    After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message was: <4488> <DynamicLink> <5> C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS6\Adobe Premiere Pro.exe
    Then, when I click OK, I get:
    After Effects can't continue: sorry, After Effects has crashed. For After Effects Help and Support, go to http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_ae_support. If you still can't resolve the issue, please contact Adobe Technical Support (2).
    ( 0 :: 42 )
    Clicking OK to that gives me a chance to save the latest project, then the standard Windows 7 crash dialog window opens, the one that gives me the choice of "Check online for a solution and close the program" or just "Close the program" and lets me View problem details, which are:

    hi guys : )
    I have a weird bug. It's a compile time error but only happens when i compile in release config. when i compile in debug mode, my app runs perfectly. when i compile in release mode (even to simulator) i get this error:

  • After Effects Error: Unable To Allocate Space...

    I have never seen this before...I am stumped.
    I am on After Effects 8.0.2 on a PC at work (Windows XP Pro 2002 SP2 / Intel Xeon 3.6 Ghz / 3.25 GB RAM) and I keep getting the following error when rendering:
    "After Effects Error: Unable to Allocate Space for 4290 x 4590 image buffer"
    My Comp is nowhere near that size (1280 x 720) nor is anything in it (PS document 1200 x 1500 / 720p video / solids are comp size). I have reset Cache sizes until I am blue in the face / have enabled Disk Cache / dumped preferences / cursed at the machine / nothing works.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated...thanks.
    Joey

    Just thinkin; out loud, so sorry if it's stuff you've already considered, Joey:
    Any scale settings expanding objects beyond the size of the comp? Text especially can blow out memory when scaled up large.
    Same goes for 3D objects close to the camera.
    As you're a Mac-o-file you've probably been saved in the past by the extra RAM accessible - SP will only give AE 2GB.

  • 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?

  • "After Effects error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames for playback"

    i7-980x, Win 7 64, 16 gb RAM
    I STILL get the "After Effects error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames for playback" and max allowed memory of 0.4, despite max usable memory listed as 15.99.  Sometimes if I run Premiere Pro, PS, AI, 3-4 QT movies and 5 or six other programs simultaneously, after effects will recognize Premiere Pro and allopw me 5-6 gigs active memory, but this can take an hour or two and is hit and miss.
    VERY FRUSTRATED here.
    This happens with and without the firewall turned on.
    Please help

    I get this error message when I accidentaly move my CTI (Current Time Indicator) to the end of the composition. If besides also the option "From current time" in the preview panel is checked, After Effects will see that I just marked less than 2 frames namely 1 (from the end frame of my comp to this end frame).
    Check therefore where your CTI is positioned!
    Also you could have the same problem, if this option "From current time" is not checked, but you have your work areas in- and out-points closer than 2 frames together.
    So condensed: Check your CTI and your work area and set the CTI on a previous frame or let your work area start earlier.

  • After Effects Error message @ Startup, NEW Macbook NEED HELP

    So I'm working with a Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2012, I just bought it,
    Processor  2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
    Software  OS X 10.8.2
    Installed the most up to date CUDA Mac Driver: CUDA 5.0.37 driver for MAC
    After Effects was running fine -no errors at startup - when I didn't have the GPU CUDA enabled.
    I found out that the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB, is CUDA Enabled
    So, I installed the CUDA 5.0.37 driver for MAC
    I opened Terminal and ran a GPUSniffer to get the name of the Graphics card
    I opened another window in terminal and ran a "sudo nano" command that listed the default supported Cards, I pasted my card name.
    NOW I can choose GPU instead of CPU for Ray-tracing, WHICH IS GOOD, Its what I was trying to do. BUT something is still wrong because I keep getting an error message at startup: "After Effects error: Ray-traced 3D: Initial shader compile failed. (5070 :: 0)" 
    I DIDNT GET THIS ERROR BEFORE I INSTALLED & ENABLED "CUDA GPU"..............What is wrong?

    Don't manually manipulate that text file. That is unsupported, and you are on your own if you do so.
    What you should have done is to install the 11.0.2 update to add the GPU acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer for your 650M:

    I'm hoping Adobe plans to at least recognize these cards one day soon so they don't show up unsupported.  If anything I would expect the newer adobe software to work better with newer cards than it should with 5 year old quadro cards.
    I know a situation like this can be very frustrating, sorry about that.
    Unfortunately, the newer Maxwell NVIDIA GPUs ship without the OptiX Library and acceleration of ray-traced 3D compositions is dependent on that. Therefore, acceleration of these comps will not ever be supported with those GPUs. You may want to reinstall that Quadro card if you plan on doing a lot of ray-traced 3D work.
    The After Effects team does recommend that you move forward with Cinema 4D Lite, as that is what is being tested and supported currently and going into the future.

  • 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 Effects error: Could not launch Adobe Analysis Server (515)   ( 25 :: 101)  *POSSIBLE FIX*

    Hi. Im New to the forums so sorry in advance if i do something incorrect
    Since my Purchase of Adobe CS6, I was not able to use dynamic link, or the plugins that required you to connect to the Adobe Analysis Server (3d Tracker, Warp Stablizer ETC) It would always give me the error
    After Effects error: Could not launch Adobe Analysis Server (515)
    ( 25 :: 101)
    Or if i would use dynamiclink
    The Importer created a generic error
    Through hours and hours searching through the internet, and trying possible fixes, i found possible fixes that might help people with this error.
    *Before attempting any of these fixes, make sure you reinstall CS6 Using the Adobe Cleaner*
    This guide is for Windows OS Only.
    If the error still presists, try these options
    -If your windows account is not a administrator, Run Adobe After Affects CS6 As Administrator
    -Disable your Anti-Virus and your Firewall
    I know you have probably heard this over and over again, but this is mainly the cause of the problem. Some Anti-Viruses even when disabled, go into some sort of one eyed open mode, where it still monitors your computer ever so slightly, so you may want to uninstall the anti-virus. As for the firewall,
    1) Go to your start menu search "Check Firewall Status"
    2)Then to the left of the window, click Turn Windows Firewall on or off
    3)Then tick "Turn of Windows Firewall" on BOTH Home or work network and Public Network.
    -Close and Uninstall filtering and spyware programs such as Netnanny and Premiere Opinion. This might be using the TCP Ports that is needed for After effects, dynamic link and adobe analysis server to communicate
    -Start up Adobe Analysis server Manually. This can be done by going to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS6\Support Files and running Adobe Analysis server.exe as Adminisrator, Then starting Premiere, After effects, etc.
    -If the Adobe Cleaner didnt already, Clean your registry. This can be done with free applications such as CCleaner.
    If none of those options work,  I would suggest a full format and reinstall of windows.
    I hope this would help people with this issue.

    You can download and install the latest version (and older versions) of versions 11, 12, and 13 from Adobe right now. That is why I was asking for the exact version number with decimals. Just the other day, someone said they were running the latest version and they weren't aware that CC was even a thing. They were running version 11.0.3 (which isn't even the latest version of CS6 - it's 11.0.4). That's why I always ask.

    That doesn't seem like a good idea. While there can't be anything technically referred to as a "virus" on the Mac OS (due to the underlying structure), there can be (and are) malware variants out there that do attack machines running the Mac OS. As Apple products have grown in popularity, developers have been creating more and more malware aimed at OSX.
    I certainly hope you at least have your firewall running.

    I tried launching Premiere yesterday and it crashed.
    This points to a much more serious underlying problem. Thousands (if not millions) of people are running Premiere and After Effects on Macs. What sort of error messages did you receive when it crashed?
    Try installing version 12 of AE and the previous version of Premiere as well and see if they run.

  • C-runtime error occured "Out of Memory"

    Cannot display the selected records when an end user clicks the (>*) button next to the record count. Instead of displaying all the records based on the prompted selection criteria, the record count (28,338) is shown by itself without the data after a few minutes of waiting. Above the record count and selected prompts, "!error: A C-runtime error occurred (Out of Memory)" is shown twice. No data.
    So long as the end user does not click the (>*) button next to the record count, everything works okay. End user can download the entire set of selected records to a tab-delimited .csv file without any problem. End user can also scroll thru the 28,338 records, one page at a time. Using more restrictive selection criteria, I can view several thousand records at a time. No problem until the (>*) button is clicked when 28,338 records are requested.
    We recently doubled the memory on our desktops from 1GB to 2GB. No help attempting to display all records.
    Problem reproduced at will in both OBIEE 10.1.3.3.2 and 10.1.3.4.1 environments using either IE 8.0 or Firefox 3.6 on Windows XP Pro.
    How can we reconfigure our environment to display the 28,338 records on a desktop without running Windows XP out of memory?

    The C:\OracleBIData\tmp directory on the desktop appears empty before, during and after the query.
    In addition in Windows Task Manager, the Networking tab for the Local Area Connection shows a steady, but less than 0.5%, activity stream for the duration. CPU use and paging is also minimal.

  • 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.
