After Effects Lossless AVI Export Problems

Hi,
I have a very strange problem that only occurs sometimes. It is kind of hard to explain, so bare with me.
I'll just explain my process first:
I import and edit all my video files in premiere pro CS5.5. Then I import my Premiere Pro Project into After Effects CS5.5 for Color Grading. While I scrub through my footage everything looks fine.
I then Add my Comp to the Render queue, and select Best Settings, and Lossless AVI with Audio Output.
After the footage renders, I watch it and every now and then a frame will be inserted from at least 7 frames up into the current time. This makes the footage look choppy/jumpy. Example: The character is walking and for one frame he will jump a couple inches forward, and the next frame he will be back again.
This might happen a couple times in a row or every other shot. I thought maybe my computer was just playing it slow in Windows Media Player - but I imported the Lossless AVI file into Premiere Pro to play it in that, and it still has the same problem.
I don't know what the problem is. I would just like my AE Comp to output smoothly without adding those extra frames on my footage.
Here's an example image:
If any of you could please help me, that would be great! Thanks!

Okay, I just made a bunch of tests.
1) I converted an .MTS file to an .AVI with the Lagarith codec. Then I imported that into AE. When I RAM Previewed it, I did not get the jump from frame to frame thing.
2) I also imported the same video file, only an .MTS version and RAM Previewed that. Again, I did not have the problem I have been having.
3) I made a new Premiere Pro Sequence and imported the same .MTS file I had been using. Then I went to AE and imported that Premiere Pro project (trying to go through the steps that got me to the problem in the first place), and tried RAM previewing that. Again, I did not have the problem I had been getting.
So I obviously cannot re-create my issue. But the issue is still there in my other AE project. If I open up my AE Project that I had the problem with in the first place, I still get the jumpy frame issue when I preview it!
I even tried creating a new AE project (willing to re-color grade all my footage), hoping that the problem would not be there. But when I create the new AE project and import my Premiere Pro project, the issue is still there.
Is there something wrong with my Premiere pro project? When I play my premiere pro project without it going to AE it works fine, no issue. But when I import it into AE the issue is there!
It has to be the Premiere Pro Project or the sequences in that project. Since, like I said above in test number 3: " I made a new Premiere Pro Sequence. Then I went to AE and imported that Premiere Pro sequence, RAM previewed that. And I did not have the problem."
What is going on? Will re-editing my entire project in a whole new Premiere Pro project fix my issue? What if it doesn't, and this happens again? How do I fix this?
I really appreciate your help. I'm glad there is a place to go when I have a problem with Adobe Programs. I would never be able to figure this out by myself. Thanks!

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...

When exporting a .wmv in After Effects 5 the export adds additional black/Blank frames at the end

We are experiencing an issue where we or a client provides us with a video that is a .wmv video, exported from After Effects 5 and it adds almost a second of data less video.
What I mean by data less is the video renders out as WMV, 30FPS, 24 Bitrates (No audio) that is say 7 seconds long within After Effects. The moment it is rendered/exported, it is 8 seconds and shows 8 seconds in any program we import it to. That last second is empty, there is no frames, not even black frames, and when you preview the video in any program, you see the scrub bar, drop about 1 second before the actual end of the timeline.
I opened the video in Camtasia, and you can clearly see that at the end, it shows in the timeline (Video Editor), however there is no actual video.
I import the video in my company’s software, and I move the frame scrubber at the end, it says 'Unable to retrieve the requested video frame.'. If we import it to our software, it sees no frames for that second, and automatically loops and adds the first second of the video to the end.
Typically we only import uncompressed AVIs, but would like to know what this issue is.
Windows 7 Enterprise
64bit OS
After Effects 5

I 100% agree about not being a fan of .WMV. We only recently added .wmv video support to our own program our clients use for importing videos and graphics. Our customer only used .wmv because it was on our list, and we are running into this issue.
Two different users (our own Graphic Artist, and our clients Graphic Artist) and we get the same result. We are 100% certain there is no video framerate mismatch in either of the AE files.
It would be interesting to see if anyone else using AE, if they could make a video few seconds long, export as a WMV and see if another program shows a whole extra second at the end, that has no data.
Thanks for your responses thus far.

Quicktime 7.0.3 AVI export problem

I recently agreed to an automatic update of Quicktime, to 7.0.3.. After that my exports from FCP PAL to AVI was hit by major problems. Every other second or so a frame would freeze,and thereby making it unusable by my VideoToaster unit. After making the same exports at anothers editors laptop G4, and experiencing the same problem I had to downgrade to Quicktime 7.0.1. That solved the problem. Any other out there with the same problem ?r

Nothing wrong with QuickTime 7.0.3 (or you'd see more posts).
Open your Utilities folder and then the Audio MIDI Setup app.
Set the Audio Output /Format to 44100 Hz.
Quit and restart QT Player and see if all is well.

Adobe After Effects CS3 horrible export quality

I made an intro for my Youtube channel using Adobe After Effects CS3, in the preview and whilst I was rendering the video quality was remarkable, no flaw in it. But after it rendered and I exported it as a .flv file the quality was horrible and grainy. Since I'm starting a serious channel my videos have to be high quality, including the intro. Is there any way to make it better quality, perhaps a free program that converts it into a better quality extension, or anything. I appreciate any feedback since I really need this intro in high quality.
Here's the video link as you can see it's grainy as hell, even when put at 720p(HD):
As I mentioned before in the preview and whilst rendering the quality was one of the best I've ever seen, no grain or anything, it was flawless, but when I exported, the quality turned to s***. Please help.

Well, straight to the point: Read YouTube's requirements! FLV? They don't even recomemnd it themselves and in the last 3 years nobody serious has used it. There are enough free H.264 encoders based on ffmpeg. Download one and render an uncompressed movie from AE to be used for final output.

After Effects CS5 DNxHD rendering problems

Hello folks, I posted this last month, but still haven't worked it out. My problem is that everytime I try to render a quicktime from After Effects CS5 using Avid's DNxHD codec, I get this error, about 60 - 100 frames in: "Rendering error while writing to file (path name here). An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464) I've tried rendering to different drives, rendering with and w/out multiprocessing, with and w/out Open GL rendering, different comps / projects, and different flavors of the DNxHD codec (8 bit, 10bit, 145, 220, etc). Here's my basic system specs:
Win 7 Pro 64bit
Dual 6 core Westmere Processors
48GB Ram
Quadro FX 3800 1.5GB (driving 2 x 24" HP monitors)
GeForce GT 240 (driving a Cintiq tablet)
I have another system, same operation system, but with dual quad core Nehalem's and 16GB Ram and a Quadro FX 3400 and it renders to DNxHD just fine. I'm certain I have the latest codecs from Avid, and I've tried both the LE and PE versions. Any thoughts?
Nate

It's a bug in the CoDec itself, if I'm not mistaken. I've seen this being discussed somewhere, but can't remember the full details. I believe the issue oils down to the Avid stuff using an older version of some compiler library and not dealing correctly with some SSE stuff on some processors. You may try to toy around with the BIOS settings to suppress SSE4 and 4.1 and see if it helps. Also consider installing the .NET runtimes. They still have those magical healing poweers, as the install resolves any version conflicts that may exist with outdated system DLLs bundled with some programs. That may also help. In the long run, though, I think Avid will just have to update DNx to properly work on 64bit and those new processors...

Adobe After Effects CS4 trial installation problem, Please Help!

Ok, I downloaded the trail version of Adobe After Effects CS4 onto my PC (Windows XP). When I try to run the setup (by double-clicking it), a window pops up saying 'Adobe setup has encountered a problem and needs to close.' Does anyone know why this is, and how I might be able to fix it? I already tried re-downloading it, and I checked the system requirements. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME BECAUSE I REALLY WANT TO USE THIS! If it will help here are my PC's specs:
Operating System - Windows XP with service pack 3
RAM - 2.0GB
Graphics Card - ATI Radeon HD 4830
Processor - Intel Core 2 Dual 2.2GHz
Monitor Resolution - 1280x1024
Thanks

Verify the following:
a) you run as administrator
b) your virus scanner and firewall don't interfere
c) you have enough temporary disk space
d) no other tools are interfering
For b), simply turn those tools off during install. For c), check your user temp directory (C:\Documents and Settings\You\Local Settings\Temp). Clean it out either manually or using tools like CCleaner. Also defragment your drive. For d), you may need to uninstall otehr Adobe software. also monitor your task manager for processes and services that may have a negative impact. A dump of those can easily be generated using HijackThis!, so you can post the list here for verification, if needed. also provide any otehr info that could be important, like e.g. special drivers or user settings.

After Effects: MP RAM Vorschau Problem bei Frame-Interpolationen

Hallo Zusammen,
ich nutze die neuste Version von After Effects CC unter Windows 7.
Wenn Multiprocessing für RAM Vorschau aktiviert ist tritt bei mir folgendes Problem auf:
Wenn ich Frame-Interpolation nutze, dann flackert die RAM - Vorschau zwischen Video und dem AE - Testbild (das normalerweise angezeigt wird, wenn eine Mediendatei fehlt) hin und her.
Keine Probleme habe ich dagegen, wenn ich die RAM - Vorschau ohne MP erstelle oder keine Frameinterpolation genutzt wird.
Ich habe außerdem schon probiert, AE weniger Kerne oder mehr RAM zuzuweisen, was jedoch keine Verbesserung bewirkt hat.
Handelt es sich hierbei um einen bekannten BUG in After Effects CC oder hat das nur etwas mit meinem System zu tun?

Ist wohl eher ein Bug...

I have purchased Asus STRIX-GTX980. Now what should I change settings in Premier Pro and After Effects to reduce export time

I have recently purchased Asus STRIX-GTX980 4GB with i7 4790K.
Now what settings are to be optimized in Pr (CS6) to reduce Export time . Please explain in Detail Please explain in Detail step by step
Now what settings to be optimized in Ae (CS6) to reduce Export time . Please explain in Detail step by step .
The main Motto of noto is to reduce expot times.
Please help me set values .

As Dave says, GPU does very little in AE, see this: GPU (CUDA, OpenGL) features in After Effects
Now, some third-party plugins (such as Red Giant Universe and Video Copilot's Element 3d) do make use of the GPU in AE, but their requirements have nothing to do with AE or its settings.
Premiere, on the other hand, does make use of a GPU, you should ask in that forum what they suggest.
Also, in the future, I would suggest checking on system requirements and benefits BEFORE making a purchase...

After Effects won't close/Problems with dynamic links

When I quit After Effects the icon still shows up and it says that it is still open, even force quit will not work. Also having problems with dynamically linked files between after effects and Premiere pro. Rendering in Premiere doesn't work unless I go to AE, save the project, then go back to Premiere. I have OSX Mavericks 10.9.2, a late 2012 mac pro, and AE CC 12.2.1.5

Kevin: would appreciate further thoughts on this.
I am using Pr2014, version 8.0.0 I am using AE2014, version 13.0.2.3. When I was on earlier versions of each, I had no problem importing AE comps into Pr. I'd choose import in Pr, then select the AE project, then select the comp. But with my new and improved versions of AE and Pr, I keep getting "importer reported a generic error."
I also tried to go the other way. I selected in Pr the clips I wanted to work on in AE, and then tried "replace with AE comp" but got the "generic error" message again..
Finally, I attempted to create a Dynamic Link from Pr via the File menu, but with each of the options from there, I got "failed to connect to AE Dynamic Link"
Any advice you can share, would be most welcome.

After Effects no longer exporting in Premiere CS4

I use Premiere Pro CS4 to produce many short videos. I have an After Effects CS4 title that I use on all of them (some text on the bottom of the frame). In the past, I've always put the *.aep file in the Video 2 track (which also fills in the Audio 2 track) and the project exported nicely with the text overlayed on the video. Recently, the text has not been exporting though. I can see the text in the preview window and I can see the text when I open the Export dialog box. Is there a setting that I've changed that could be doing this?
Other details: The Video 1 track consists of 2 still frames and a *.flv file with cross-dissolve transitions. I export to a *.flv file.
Other fixes: I've used AE because I couldn't figure out how to save a title made in Premiere in order to import it to other projects.

Other fixes: I've used AE because I couldn't figure out how to save a title made in Premiere in order to import it to other projects.
Select the title in the project bin.
Export -> Title
It saves as a .prtl file that is external to the project and you can import into another project.

CS4 After Effects / Illustrator Scaling Fonts Problem

I created an Adobe Illlustrator file consisting of three layers of text at three font sizes, 1296, 72, and 6 points on a WIndows Vista machine with CS4 (all updates) using the Impact font with no mods. Then I used it in After Effects to create an 1280/720 pixel annimation that scales in from the largest font to the smallest. I have Antialiasing set to More Accurate in Interpret Footage and PAR is not set in the Timeline. As you can see from the example, it renders well to a point, then it begins to pixelate. I have reproduced the problem in several other scenarios.
However, when I create the same annimation in After Effects, using the same Impact font, I get smooth fonts from small to large, see below. Obviously, I am doing something wrong, wither when I import the ai file into AE (I have tried importing it as Footage and as Vector Art), or I am creating the .ai incorrectly (just using defaults).
I apprecriate your help!

Yes, thank you, Mylenium! The results are seen in this clip.

After Effects CC audio mapping problems

Whenever I start After Effects it seems like it takes over control of my system audio output settings.
For instance if I am listening to a song on iTunes and then start After Effects, I will only hear iTunes when AE is active from then on. Audio preview and scrubbing in After Effects works well, and all other audio works as they should but only when using After Effects. If I switch back to iTunes it goes silent. This goes for all other audio on my computer.
To get the audio back I need to go into system preferences and swich back and fourth in my settings. But if I then go into After Effects again the problems are back. It feels like After Effects hijacks my system audio setting when it is started. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
I am running After Effects CC 12.2.1.5 on OSX Mavericks.

Hey there, I'm having the exact same problem (Mavericks 10.9.1, AE 12.1).
I use an H/K AVR 165 with 5.1 as my default audio device (HDMI). Are you using HDMI as well? Because every other connection works (cinemadisplay speakers, optical), only when I have HDMI as my default the remapping occurs.
Waring: don't try to pick After Effects (12) or Premiere (7) as default in the sound-options in osx preferences (not the MIDI device, the aactual sound output in the preferences), I tried this yesterday and at first I thought it worked (I picked Premiere, I was just testing and curious) but as soon as I started Premiere, the whole system crashed and i needed several safe boots to get my Mac working again (it froze right after the login).
