After Effects Minimized Render Crash?

I am experiencing a very annoying issue pertaining to After Effects CS 5.5. I recently purchased the product (Production Premium CS5) and installed it on PC only to encounter a strange error. Whenever I do a preview render (pressing 0) and then minimize I then see the number of frames being rendered in the minimized window (this is normal). However, upon clicking the minimized window to reopen it After Effects crashes immediately with the error: After Effects error: "Crash in Progress.Lastlogged message was : <4924><ImporterMPEG><1>Error_printf:No Video Available". After effects gives me the option to save my work and notifies me to contact the Adobe Technical Support Center. I recently purchased this product I am disappointed that I cannot minimize the program while rendering, the program did not do this immediately, it started doing this a couple of days after I started using it.
I have already tried uninstalling after effects and reinstalling and i get the same error everytime.
My PC Specs:
8GB RAM
AMD 1100T Sixcore 3.3 Ghz processor
GTX 275 graphics card performance edition
Is there something I'm missing? Please Help me resolve this issue, After Effects is a good product.

It usually crashes with this log message:
"Crash in Progress.Lastlogged message was : <4924><ImporterMPEG><1>Error_printf:No Video Available"
I never changed anything with my system when this error occurred nor did I install a new driver, I didn't even install a new program or do any system changes.
I have OpenGL disabled but I get this crash with it on or off. I have even tried rendering a project where all I had was a square with keyframed position but I still get the same rendering crash/error when I minimize the window, therefore I don't think its an effect causing it or OpenGL.
Any Ideas?

    N.B i work with MAC BOOK PRO (intel ) with 2 GB of ram

    Hi there, same problem here but on a PowerPC.
    I just bought AE7 and installed it on my G5 (with then 10.3.7 running on it). Install went fine but the application would not start up.
    Thought this might be a good time to clean up and installed fresh new system on this G5, updated it to 10.3.8 and first thing: installed AE7 again.
    But: same problem. In fact, all Adobe application will not start up! The icon bounces a little and then nothing but a crash report.
    For a moment I thought I had the solution, because I disabled all the "user fonts". Everything worked fine. Then I installed, as before, my Apple applications (Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, etc) and, oh no... same problem over again. The Adobe application will not start up!
    Tried to disable all non essential fonts: no cure. This is driving me crazy....
    Any suggestions?

  • After Effects CS5 is crashing my Mac when I trim a clip

    I don't have much to explain this further but After Effects CS5 is crashing my Mac when I trim a clip.  It completely turns off my Mac when I trim a clip. The only other similar thing is Photoshop CS5 is also doing crashing my Mac when I resize large images.  Small images are fine but large 300dpi images crashes it without warning. Don't know what to do.
    I have 8gigs of Ram and am running 27" iMac Core i5
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Hal

    Are you running these two program together?
    I would think so.OK you are probably running them both as 64 bit that is great that they run 64 bit and can use more RAM and even better they actually do use more RAM.
    So the solution is probably more RAM, don't run them to together or lower the expectations of Photoshop and AE.
    That way they won't try to use all the RAM to do this work. It will probably do the wrk pretty fast but not as fast if you had more RAM maybe.
    Also AE and PS on an iMac, what about your scratch disk. Is it a very fast external drive and how is it connected?
    If you don't have a fast internal drive say with at least a 32MB buffer running at 7200rpm then there you go a real contributing ffactor.
    To be honest you need both more RAM and a fast start up disk and a fast external scratch.
    The new 2TB drives by Seagate run at 7200 rpm and have  64 MB cache which s as important as the rotation. You can possibly make a Raptor an external scratch as well at 300 GB they are probably not arge enough s a start up.
    Those are my thoughts.
    16 GB of RAM a larger faster internal drive lower the performance and memory setting as well.

  • After Effects CC 2014 crashing on startup

    I downloaded the trial version of After Effects. By downloading it, it activated a 30-day trial. However, every time I try to start up the program, it gives me an error and crashes. I read on the forums issues about fonts and OpenGL, but it doesn't even give me detailed information on the crash. Anybody able to give me a bit of an assist on this? I use Adobe Design and Web Premium CS6 on my PC. I primarily use Sony Vegas for my video work, however I was sent a file on AE and rather than get in contact with the client to have them resend it in .veg, I figured I could download the trial and open it there. No such luck. I've finished the work, but now this AE issue is just bugging me. I am interested in trying it, but if I can't get into the trial, it really curbs my interest in the program.

  • After effects 5.5 crashing on previous work

    Hello
    I have had this problem for about 2 weeks now and I think i have tried every 'fix' i can find on the internet.
    i'll talk you through what i do and what happens...
    I load up after effects
    I open a previous project that i created on the same after effects on the same computer about 3 weeks ago.
    Sometimes the file opens but the moment i move anything it crashes, no error message. just 'not responding' and i have to task manager and end the program to close it.
    Other times i can manage to click the add to render queue and i can even change the settings, but i have literally tried every setting about 5 times each.
    The program still crashes. its not just this file, 2 days ago i accepted that it wouldnt work and i decided to try making a new scene (not using the same footage).. half way through, i scrub the ram preview and it crashes again.
    My computer cost me £1000 (approx) i added another 8gb (12 total) of ram and put in an nvidia card... i did all of this at the start of septeber and i did it for the sole purpose of using after effects to build up my portfolio... but now its been a massive waste unless someone has a solution!
    any questions, feel free to ask, and all advice will be taken on board and i will be very greatful!
    Thanks
    Matt

    i have tried the openGL thing, how do i sort out my graphics card config? im not exactly an exert on all this! haha.
    should i trash all the prefs?

  • After Effects 3d Render

    I am trying to render my 3d text in after effects cs6 but when I click render, suddenly after effects starts using up 90% of my cpu which causes my computer to crash with an incomplete render. I have set my ray traced renderer quality to as low as 3 but that has not affected this at all. Any ideas???

    a) You are not using the latest 11.0.4 update
    b) ATI cards generally don't support CUDA and thus not the 3D renderer
    c) You are running on Win 8.1, which introduced a number of compatibility issues with all Adobe apps.
    So at best your stuff will run on the CPU, but judging from your error message, there is a driver issue here. Could be something with the power management of your i7. Could of course be a million other things, but without seeing the detailed crash info nobodfy can be more specifc. Apply the AE update, check your device manager for flakey or missing drivers, dabble with the compatibility settings and perhaps security stuff in Windows and even check your CPU configuration in the BIOS/ EFI...

  • Error After effects quicktime Render

    Hello
    I am facing a problem rendering in After Effects CS5.
    This is my computer :
    - Windows 7 Pro 64bit
    - Processor: Intel Xeon E5 2660 V2 - 20CPU
    - 32GB Ram
    - CG: Nvidia GTX 780 TI
    My problem:
    I'm working on a movie with a green screen sequences in .mov, animation codec. When I start rendering, it runs for a few pictures and then the error:
    Error made in the background. Rendering in the foreground will be activated after 229 images out of 486 (26 § 142)
    After Effects (Error) Error (4) when reading image from file D: \ ****** \ Sequences \ TV_Sequence-3a6.mov. (86 § 2)
    After Effects (error): Keylight out of memory. (4) (25 § 241)
    I tried a lot of manipulation:
    - Checking "using the OpenGL" and it works but the rendering time is multiplied by 10 if not more.
    - By changing the format of the green screen sequences (wmv, mp4, avi) and it works. So it's really a .mov problematic.
    - By activating or not, the hyperthreading and it crashes.
    - By testing a render without movie inside the comp and it works
    So I think it comes from Quicktime and the number of processor cores, but how to solve this problem? : s
    I already check this link : troubleshooting QuickTime errors with After Effects CS5, CS5.5, CS6, and CC | After Effects region of interest  but it doesn't works
    Thank you for your help
    (sorry for my english)

    The QuickTime version is 7.7.5.
    With my old machine, it worked perfectly.
    I can make a render in .mov (animation, h.264, etc ) with no .mov in my comp but if there is, after effects gives me an error ...
    Thanks for your reply

  • (Help) After Effect 7.0 crashed

    I'm currently using After effect 7.0, it worked fine yesterday, but today, I can't open any project.

    And when I try to render a 10 minute comp, it crashed (error 0 :: 42), and it looks like the program always crashed after a few minutes running
    I already re-install after effect twice and already restart my computer, but i always get error 0 :: 42

    These errors resulted in installer Exit Code mentioned below.
    I'm using Windows 7 on a custom-built PC with i7-2600 processor and 16GB RAM, ASUS P8Z68-V/GEN 3 mobo, 560 Ti graphics card, 80GB Intel SSD for boot drive.
    Note: I actually planned on upgrading to a new 120GB SSD next week and doing a clean install, do you think that could also fix this problem?

    Browntimmy I would recommend posting in those product specific forums with your inquiry.  There is troubleshooting steps which can be employed for both products which are not install related.  The link to the forums is as follows:

  • After Effects CS5.5 crashes when selecting "Edit in Audition" (0::42)

    I was surfing around Adobe TV and watching a few tutorials when I decided to try out the edit in audition feature, except when I pulled up my project and selected "edit in audition" I got this error message:
         After Effects error: crash in progress. Last logged message was: <8136>
         <Dynamiclink> <5> 0000000019A79460
         After Effects can't continue: sorry, After Effects has crashed. For After Effects
         help and support, go to http://www.adobe.com/support/aftereffects. If you still
         can't resolve the issue, please contact Adobe technical support (2).

    What I'm trying to import into Audition is really heavily edited and saved as an .aep, but when I do the same with an untouched .mov file it works fine. So maybe it's a limitation of Audition/After Effects? I don't know.
    Also, a couple of things have been installed since I started the project, and I read in a thread that might be the problem. But before I go deleting anything I want to make sure the same thing is happening to me.
    Aside from this, After Effects works just fine, and so far this is the only error I've gotten.
    My setup is
    Acer Aspire
    Windows 7 64-bit
    4GB RAM
    Intel i5 processor
    Adobe Production Premium

    You're probably simply running out of memory to run both programs at the same time and otehr things like compressed audio/ video in the project may complicate matetrs further with hardware acceleration stuff. Not much you can do, most likely beyond the usual advice of making sure all your drivers are up to date...

  • How do I get after effects to render with my GPU?

    Yea, really noob question, but I can't figure it out!
    Spent literally HOURS trying to find how to do this..  Use my GTX 670 to render instad of CPU.  Can't figure it out.  I finally (I think) figured out where to change the setting to raytraced rendering, but it still REFUSES to use it.  I can't work like this!  Countless hours to render a 4 min video with an i7?  I am checking with a  hardware monitor, and my GPU isn't getting used.
    I don't have the time (or inclination) to watch hours and hours of tutorial videos.  I am the type of person that uses templates and modifies them to my needs/desires, so pointing me to a "generic" after effect tutorial website will do no good.
    Now, I only mention this to show that I don't come running for help every time I have a small problem, and refuse to try and find the answer myself.  I have myself learned how to edit text, make it appear and disappear.  Slow down and speed up an entire composition and much much more all by using google.  But I obviously can't get the wording right with google because I can't find a solution.

    You cannot enforce GPU raytracing if your card is not supported and that is that. If adding the card to the raytracer_supported_cards.txt file and updating the graphics driver doesn't do it, then nothing will. You are using dead technology, anyway.
