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 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.

After Effect error: Rendering error while writing to file

Greetings,
I'm a beginner and am starting to learn most of the basics but every time I try to render a specific type of composition, I get this massage:
After Effect error: Rendering error while writing to file "C:Users\Admin\Videos\720p.mp4".Unknown Error! (-1610153453)
RENDER SETTINGS:
LENGTH: 8min. and 30 sec
FORMAT:H.264
CODEC: mp4
RESOLUTION: 1280 x 720
AUDIO: 48.000 kHz, Stereo
OUTPUT LOCATION: C DRIVE (22GB FREE)
I got Windows Ultimate 64-bit and Adobe After Effect CS5.5 64-bit (both on C drive) installed in my laptop.
When I first installed after effect, I rendered a part of the whole composition (AVI, 720p) and it worked but after that when I rendered with
format H.264 it showed this massage. Then I tried to change it back to AVI. and rendered. again the same massage.
My C drive isn't full, I have 22GB SPACE AVAILABLE.
And when I try to save it on D (114GB free) or E drive (33GB free), It shows me the SAME MASSAGE.
PLEASE HELP
Thanks in advance.

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...

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: 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.

How do you add a effect to a certain part of a track, not the whole track itself, how do you add a effect to a certain part of a track, not the whole track itself, how do you add a effect to a certain part of a track, not the whole track itself

How can i add echo to vocals only on certain parts of the vocal without it effecting the whole vocal track itself?

You can only do this in newer versions of Garageband (5 & 6).
Here's a brief tutorial::

I am wondering how to zoom into a video in iMovie '09. For example I want to zoom into a certain part of the video. Is there any way to do this???

I am wondering how to zoom into a video in iMovie '09. For example I want to
zoom into a certain part of the video. Is there any way to do this???

Yes.
If you want to see the zoom, use the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool and select the Ken Burns effect. You can set the starting and ending rectangle for your zoom.
If you want to go directly to the zoom, use the Rotate, Crop, KenBurns Tool and select Crop. Set the rectangle to be where you want the zoom.

How do I zoom in on a certain part of a video?

I am new to premiere pro CS6 and I need to know how I can zoom in on a certain part of a video, by a certain part I don't mean zoom the whole video, just a part of it. For example if I have a BF4 clip and I want to have the main game play running but at the same time have that amount of ammo zoomed in on running in the same frame. How can I do this ?Just like in this picture I quickly edited in Photoshop. as you can see the ammo is much larger than the rest of the game.

Main video on video track 1.
Copy of main video on video track 2. Use the Motion Property in the Effects Panel to zoom in, apply the crop effect and adjust, then adjust its location over the main video using the Motion Property. You can also adjust its transparency if so desired.

Why After Effects CC renders only 12 seconds ?

I just got After Effects Creative Cloud and to try it out, I made a 2 minutes long vidéo. When it's time to render it, it will only render 12 seconds and than stop, when I try to render more, the lines passes from green to blue. If somebody knows how to fix this, it would be really nice! By the way I got a Mac Book Pro with the latest version of OS X.

If you mean render then your Output Module Render Settings are set to work area instead of composition length. Go through the basics.
If you mean RAM preview then, depending on the project you will have to lower the resolution of your comp window preview or skip frames. AE is NOT a NLE and will NOT playback long high resolution sequences in real time. You cannot use all system ram for previews. More helps, free memory helps, but you have to learn to work around the limitations.
My normal work flow for an animation is to plan, set up the timing of the animation using markers or other visual cues, set the initial motion keyframes, do a 1/4 or 1/2 rez motion preview, finish the final color grading and effects work checking key points of the animation at full resolution and full screen to verify the shot looks the way I want at just those key points, then I add that comp to the AME cue to render a test while I move on to the next shot or effect. Total amount of time I spend waiting for and looking at full resolution full length shots to RAM preview before rendering is zero minutes. Motion tests and initial animation can happen very quickly and this will give you time to refine the other elements of your 'shot' in a more productive manner. The only longer than a minute projects that I have done completely inside AE are dynamic text animations and most of that kind of animation is just motion so 1/4 rez motion tests are really all you need to do to check timing. Keep motion blur and other effects turned off while you're checking the timing, then turn them on, check a few key frames or a second or two of a transition and move on. You'll get way more done in a day.
For most of my projects a 2 minute comp is extremely long. I suspect that you are trying to create a whole sequence in AE and edit there. AE is for shots. Most shots in movies or commercials are just a few seconds. You should be creating your shots in AE and editing the shots to tell the best story in a NLE. While this sounds like it involves more steps and is just more work to do, in the end, it's a way more efficient way to work.

When I add my composition to the Adobe Media Encoder from After Effects, it renders out incorrectly?

Why is it that when I add my composition directly from after effects to the adobe media encoder, it renders out of the adobe media encoder incorrectly? By that I mean the video comes out a little scrambled- parts of it overlap other parts. Is this an issue with 'dynamic link'? Did I do something wrong? I'm working in CC.

I also don't understand what you are saying. What do you mean by "parts of it overlap other parts"? A screen shot might help.
What were your render settings in AME? (Format, Codec, data rate, etc.)
What is in your AE comp? If footage, tell us what format, codec, etc. Tell us what effects were used too.
What exact version number of AE CC are you using?

After Effects Error: Rendering error while writing to file... Unable to open file.(-1610153459)

Hi there,
As the title states, this is the error message I get ONLY when trying to render .mov files.
I have posted here before with a similar problem related to quick time files.
After Creative Cloud does its own updating, I can no longer render .mov files.
I have been through the trobleshooting list for QuickTime file errors, none of that works.
This is now the 3rd time that I have reinstalled AE CC. On a clean install, everything works fine, but after updates it starts bugging out.
ALSO
I cannot install the lates AE update...12.1.
CC says that I there are no new updates.
The manual update function within AE is greyed out so I cant click it.
I downloaded the entire patch and tried installing but I get another error stating that 'Udates have been surpressed by the Administrator.'
I am the Admin user, and I have tried running the patch as admin too.
I am getting extreemely frustrated with this CC package.
Please....please, someone help.

So....its been a few peacuful days.....but here I am again....with the same issue.
There have been no new Windows updates, quicktime updates or CC updates that I know of.
The problem however seems to be quite random. Sometimes it doesnt happen if I restart After Effects, while other times it occurs even If I restart the whole machine.
The best part though:
I contacted Adobe technical support for the patching issue as I am still running 12.0
The technician remotely takes over my machine and proceedes to uninstal After Effects. Then he tries to log onto Adobe's download site only to find out it is down (not quite sure how this isnt known to him before the fact). He says the site will be back up after an hour and asks that I wait while still connected. I do so.
Sure enough, the site is back online, but the tecnician is not responding to my communications even after a direct email to him and an aditional 30 minutes of waiting.
I have no option but to cut off the remote control and reinstall After Effects......again.
I count my bleesings and carry on the next day with normal work. I have a product that can at least render the format I require. I brush off the notion of getting the latest update.
So here I am today, with a 'brand new' quicktime issue.
I contact support again and explain the problems, but I am told that the technical staff are only online in 5 hours.

After Effects CC Rendering Issues.

Hey guys,
I'm rendering DSLR footage out of After Effects for editing and grading. I have every clip in it's own comp with the Neat Video denoising plugin applied and some film grain, and I'm rendering every comp individually as DNxHD. The problem is that each comp seems to taken significantly longer to render than the one before it. For example, the first comp I rendered was about 11 minutes long and took a little under 2 hours. The next was only about 10 minutes long, but took 5 hours. I've even walked into the office in the morning to find comps on pace to take 10 hours. I'm rendering off a 2013 iMac with 24 GBs of RAM and a 3.5 GHz i7 processor rendering onto a 4 TB thunderbolt G-Raid. I have 18 GBs of Ram allocated to AE, and mulitprocessing enabled. Any ideas? I'm assuming there's some aspect of memory management that I'm not using properly. I should also point out that when I start rendering, the fan on my iMac goes into overddrive, but when I come in the next day everything is whisper quiet. Could my computer be overheating a scaling back it's work load?
-Mike

Here's a workflow idea:
You can import a Premiere project into AE and it makes a composition with each cut on its own layer. So you could import your edit into AE and maintain all of the cuts. (As mentioned, you won't have transitions in place, but a dissolve is easy enough to create in AE.)
There are scripts out there (like VideoCopilot's Trim Compose script) that will make a composition for each layer (each cut, in this case) and you can then render each cut out with your noise removal.
You could then import those files into Premiere to carry on with your XML to Resolve workflow and you won't have rendered hours of noise removal out of AE that you'll never use.
Another option is to skip putting each clip into its own composition and simply render the whole thing out and then grade that. Alternatively, you could precompose whole scenes in AE and render those out.
Another, entirely different thought, would be to use Color Finesse in AE to do your color grading. But, if you're familiar with Resolve, you might prefer that.

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...
