After Effects only partly exports to SWF

I have been trying to export my composition to SWF for about two hours. Everytime I attempt to export, it only exports 3/4 of the file. I had a 20 second composition at 500 frames, it only exports 378. I have a 15 second comp at 375 frames, it only exports 279. I have tried to turn on an off different layers and still get the same result.

You're going to need to give us a lot more information, if you want help. What info? This info.

After effects cs6 will not import swf files...

after effects cs6 will not import swf files...keeps saying it's unsupported. why would this be? what do i need to change?

What SWF file? What source? How was it generated? SWF generated by Flex/ Flash Server may contain constructs that are incompatible and SWFs that render all their elements dynamically using Flash drawing primitives and use lots of ActionScript may also not work...

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...

CIN : After Posting "Only Part 1" in GR, MIRO is hang.

Dear Expert!
I have MIRO problem.
After Posting "Only Part 1" in GR, MIRO is hanging.
If I press ENTER After input PO no in MIRO.
There is no error. But, It's hanging...
If we post part 2, it's OK.
Plz help me.
How can I solve that??
We are using ECC 6.0.
Thanks.

Till you post the excise invoice i.e. do the Part 2 entries, MIRO will not happen. Thats a standard functionality. You have to first post the excise invoice then only you will be able to post MIRO.

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.

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.

5 hard drives:
1- operating system and softwear
2- Raid 0 - footage and projects.
3- Raid 0- used to render projects out to.
(Simply Raid 0, I dont have a controller or anything like that, can't afford)
Ever since the first time I used after effects, when I try to pre-render anything it only uses 6% of ram, so it takes forever to render out anything. One day it did say 46% used and that time it finished real fast. How can I fix this? to use more when I render out?
Thanks for the help

Nothing to fix because nothing is broken. AE will only use what it needs. If it renders slow or even reverts to single core rendering, it means there are effects or settings that trigger this behavior because they are incompatible with MP rendering. Likewise, some effects are simply more CPU intense, but never use a lot of RAM while the otehr day the situation may be reversed...

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 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 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.

After Effects only opens the top bar.

Just recently I have started up after effects cs6, and the start-up and the new project will come up. But when i click, create new project, the top bar only comes up.(the bar that has the red x and the yellow - and the green +) I tried uninstallin it and re-installing it but it continues! Please Help! I am on a mac version 10.6.8
You can only see the bar at the top

I have seen this occasionally and the solution is to delete the preferences file and re-launch. This is easily done by holding down Alt/Option + Ctrl/Cmnd + shift and clicking the AE icon on your dock to open AE. That should fix your problem. If it does not, reboot the computer and try deleting the preferences again before you open AE...

After effects only renders 30 seconds!

HELP! I'm using After Effects CS6 and trying to render an AVI file, but it only renders 30 seconds! No matter where i start the green bar will only go 30 seconds into the file It doesn't give me an error message or anything, it just says "Render Complete" even tho its no where near complete

The other thing that may be going on is that your work area is set to 30 seconds. Check your Render Settings for in and out point.
If that's not it then we need a screenshot of your comp with the properties of the layers revealed (press the u key twice) and also your render settings along with a concise description of your workflow. I've made the only two guesses to the problem that can be made without details.

Can I install After Effects only?

Hi all. I just upgraded from CS3 Production Premium to CS4 Design Premium and I want my After Effects back. I still have the disk for the CS3 Production Premium so if I pop it in, can I install just After Effects? Thanks!

Yes. Just do a custom install.

After Effects - Only Rendering Certain Parts of My Video

Hey there,
I'm in the process of creating a videos in AE but when I go to render the footage it only seems to render say 2 minutes of 10.
Can someone clarify why this is for me?

We can't know. Your post is completely devoid of any useful info like system specs, version of AE, render settings, comp settings, effects and footage used and whatnot. you have to do a million times better if you expect answers to your problem.

After Effects CS5.5 exporting a 3D object

I have this cube, just like that in the screen below: the full cube!
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KoMd2lI3ws4/U1lSFl4srfI/AAAAAAAADco/f9pVy493tW0/s1600/SH03.jpg
...but when I export it, I have just a part of it! What's happening?
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GzF8nUGVAGI/U1lSQAA0LcI/AAAAAAAADcw/mXtKGPyTAsM/s1600/SH04.jpg
Another doub: what's the shortcut to drag the anchor point to the midpoint of the edge.
Thanks one more time.

Ok, the custom view: that's why my cube was outside the screen: thks.
There is a mistake in your post: when I input the placement numerically, the anchor point doesn't move. It's the cube's side that moves, and I don't want that. More: to drag the anchor point to the edge's midpoint, users shall pick " pan behind tool" up, click the anchor point, press control, and drag. It moves exactly to the midpoint.
More doubts soon...
