After Effects render constraints for .mov with h.264 codec maximum dimensions 2000px x 2000px?

Is there anyway I can create .mov container with h.264 codec with dimensions 3840px by 1080px? When I try rendering from AE it lowers dimensions to under 2000px. Same thing happens when I try to save as from Quicktime. Programs I have access to are Premiere Pro, After Effects, Adobe Media Encoder, and Final Cut.
Thank you for your help.

Yes, It does seem to be mutliple LDCs. They asked for a final output video as 3840x1080. The requirements are this and they finally sent this display.
Basic Requirements
Ensure the resolution of the file (width and height in pixels) matches the specs provided exactly, even small deviations can result in poor quality playback or no playback at all
.MOV animations must use H.264 encoding
We recommend 15fps (frames per second) for animation
File size should be roughly 1 Megabyte per second or less, i.e. a 10 second .MOV file should be 10MB or less.
Thank you for your help, I will ask on the other forum.

Why wont after effects render my whole movie ?

I got a simple comp in after effects. Its just some text and a picture noe videos. But i do got some effects, on the text and the picture im using :
Twitch in the twitch effect manuel , i am using "Bad disortion"
And im using the wiggler, in the mid of the clip.
On the text i am also using twitch. I suppose is the same , which effect it is on the text. Cause it just a effect for a really short time.
So the whole project movie its about 48 sec long. But when i render it to mov , it just renders 3 second. So i can only watch 3 seconds of my mov.
Computer specs :
Macbook pro Retina 15.
Processor : 2,3 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory : 8GB 1600Mhz DDR3
Graphics : Nvidia GeForce GT650M 1024mb
Software : OS X 10.8.3

most likely problem is that you have not properly setup your Render Settings. That's where you set the length of the render. The default is to render the length of the work area. Your comp's work area is probably not set to cover the entire composition.
You cannot just open AE and start using it. You must learn how the program works. Please go through the getting started materials you'll find here.

Need help with after effects render engine setup

I use AE CS6 on a mac computer running Mountain Lion. I also own a PC running Windows 7, and I am wanting to use it to assist with network rendering. How do I install the after effects render engine on a PC, when all that I own is the Mac version of the software?
Any help would be appreciated

Did you purchase a perpetual license for the software, or do you have a Creative Cloud Membership subscription?
If the former, you need to purchase an additional license to get the Windows version. If the latter, you can just download the Windows version as part of your subscription.

Hi, my free trial license has expired, and I am wondering if it's possible to only pay for one month for after effects without locking for a year with monthly fee. I only need this for a project that is ending next week.

After Effects Render Engine Loads project over network then closes? Any advice please?

Hi,
I have just started trying to use the After Effects Render Engine over the network. I have followed some online video's where you have to set the main project computer as Multi Machine output etc and then collect folder to a network drive then go to the node computers and open Render Engine and go to watch folder and point it to your files on the network drive. It finds the project and opens it but then instantly closes it and then continues to search.
Where is this please?
Also I can't seem to tick "Skip Existing Files" in my project
Kind Regards
Joe

There is no built-in network render features in AE, so we probably need to see that video you are referring to.
A wild guess though, is that you are trying to render a video file, instead of an image sequence. "Skip Existing Files" only works with sequences. Anyway there is, to my knowledge, no way to make several machines write to the same video file. But you can start the project rendering an image sequence, from multiple computers, to the same network folder, and then use the "Skip Existing Files" feature to prevent overwriting the frames.

Will After Effect work well for adding subtitles to a music video?

Will after effect work well for adding subtitles to a music video? Or is there an easier Adobe product I should use?

Is there a way to protect music and video after a change is made to the beginning of a finished movie so as not to throw off the already completed music and video timeline?
If you are referring to music in the "floating" green background, then no. It will automatically readjust itself to the start of your project each time new material is added to the beginning of your project. On the other hand, you can add your music to a clip rather than a background and this audio you can "pin" to a clip so that it remains in the same position relative to the clip and any following clips which it may overlap.
ADDED: Oops! Looks like Winston beat me out here...

New After Effects project file for download

New After Effects project file for download:
http://marko-stojkovic.blogspot.com/p/animation_03.html
and more on: http://www.marko-stojkovic.blogspot.com/p/animation_03.html

Not that I'm aware of. I think the largest one I've ever made was around 98mb. At that point, the file became way too cumbersome, and I ended up splitting up the project more efficiently into multiple project files. There may be a limit, but if not, then it would probably be any file size limits imposed by your OS.

.mts to .mov (with Apple Intermediate Codec)

Hi.
I would like to ask you if is it possible to (batch) convert movies from my handycam Sony HiD AVCHD (.MTS) to FCE (.mov) with Apple Intermediante Codec inside the .mov file.
I successly converted my .mts files with FFMPEG:
ffmpeg -i 0011.mts -sameq -deinterlace 0011.mov
But, I need "Apple Intermediate Codec" inside the .mov file to avoid FCE from "render" again all my videos.
Thank you in advance

Hi there skalicki`.
Thank you very much for your help!!
I was a litle bit stressed here.
Well, it worked: I tested MPEG Streamclip to open one of my .mov and convert it to quicktime format with Apple Intermediate Codec and inserted that file into my Final Cut Express project and ... yes! it worked! No "re-rendering" processes.
For now, the steps I'm using are:
1) copy my xxx.mts files to /tmp
2) ffmpeg -i xxx.mts -sameq -deinterlace xxx.mov
* the annoying thing is that ffmpeg just cannot convert some movies:
[h264 @ 0x1003600]sps_id out of range
[h264 @ 0x1003600]B picture before any references, skipping
[h264 @ 0x1003600]decodesliceheader error
[h264 @ 0x1003600]no frame!
[h264 @ 0x1003600]B picture before any references, skipping
3) Open MPEG Streamclip and convert xxx.mov to /tmp/newmov/xxx.mov
codec= Apple Intermediate Codec, audio=direct copy
Now I'm looking for a way to use MPEG Streamclip from command line ..
Thank you again!

Set up After Effects CS 6 for network rendering with only a single license.

I have searched on and off a couple of days to find specific setup instructions for submitting projects to network rendering but all I can find refers to somehow installing AE on several machines in a non-license mode and, essentially, submitting a "batch" type job that get distributed, sync'd and collected. OK, I get this. But I find nothing on the details of installing on several machines.
So assuming I understand things to this point, the question is really how do you install multiple AE6 copies to systems with only a single license? I have a single license key with a CS 6 Premium Suite and would expect that I wouldn't be able to get past Activation after installing or am afraid of trying lest Adobe think I'm attempting to circumvent licensing.
Thanks in advance for any help.

> am afraid of trying lest Adobe think I'm attempting to circumvent licensing
Have no fear. Just do it. There's no risk to trying to install software on as many machines as you like. Even in the cases in which you only have a license to use our software on two machines, the worst thing that happens is that you are told to deactivate on one computer before activating on another.

After Effects SWF file appears black with no image. Only 2 layers in AE file (one that moves the other static). Please help!

After Effects 5.5.
I need this file as a swf but it appears black when I export.
Only 2 layers in AE file (one that moves the other static). Please help!
Thank you!

Thanks for your response. Is there no other way to get the swf file to work properly from After Effects?
What is the best way to go about using the MP4, F4V or FLV formats to save as a swf in Flash?
Can you advise how I can save it to MP4, F4V or FLV from After Effects Creative Cloud? they don't seem to be visible (I also have creative cloud)
Thank you very much

After Effects Render H.264 Warning

Hello,
I am trying to build an animation for an airport signage display. Here are the specs 3240 x 3840 Resolution, 10 secs, must be a H.264 MOV file.
I built everything in After Effects and go to render. When I select the H.264 Render option I get a warning on the box in the bottom left corner that says "Warning: Ouput file will be resized from 3240 x 3840 (1.00 PAR) to 3240 x 2360 (0.97 PAR to meet format contrains.)
How can I render at H.264 and keep the resolution the same?

3240 x 3840 exceeds the maximum data rate allowable by H.264 at Level 5.1. After Effects is resizing your rendered comp to fit it into the allowable size.
H.264 limits the frame size and the frame rate you can use. Higher levels allow higher limits.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC#Levels
You won't be able to create a video frame larger than 9,437,184 pixels (4096×2304 or another rectangle of equal area) with After Effects or Adobe Media Encoder. It's possible that another app may allow it, but there's no guarantee that such a file will play back correctly. I just skimmed the ITU-T H.264 white paper (see Appendix A.3), and there's not currently an allowance for higher levels in that format. It appears that H.265/HEVC allows higher levels.
You will need to use a different format. Are you sure that the playback device will accept a frame that large?

QuickTime/After Effects render problem

This is a strange one. When batch rendering from After Effects CS3 to .mov format, some random files will have an upper case file extension, and the rest lower case. Our automated QA process will only deal with lower case extensions, so this is a problem. I don't believe the issue lies with the destination share, since AE projects render there fine using different codecs (Etymonix, for example). Here's our config info. We are still using QT 7.5.5 because of other AE issues with the latest version.
Clients/render nodes:
Windows XP Pro SP3
After Effects CS3 w/8.0.2 patch
QuickTime 7.5.5
Batch render app:
Deadline 3.1 SP2
File share:
Isilon OneFS 5.0.0
CIFS protocol
thanks

Actually I do. What seems to happen is that when the file name is short enough, it will end up being one case, when it's longer, in the other. The reason behind this certainly being how some file systems discriminate between long file names and short ones, and not adding a long name, if the file can be described with teh short name (or simply using the same name). Depending on which part your other system reads, this may show up as different case names. Likewise, you could simply be seeing code page/ Unicode conversion issues during network transfers. If only one workstation has a different setting than the others, it might royally interfere with the file naming on the storage, beause then the files will use the name defined by the workstation who requested/ created it (first come, first served). Anyway, this is far too high-endish and specialized stuff you are working with, so I don't think your will get conclusive answers here. I even couldn't find out what CIFS actually does use under the hood, as I strongly believe it's just a wrapper system for another native file system (anything from FAT16 to Linux EXT), so maybe ask the Deadline people and Isilon...

After Effects Render SLOW - Slower than my old PC

I am using a new 1 month old 20" iMac, 2.0Ghz with 4gb DDR2 RAM, running OS X Leopard. Adobe After Effects CS3 is rendering really slow, and I mean like the same as my PC. Also the same with Premiere Pro, it renders really slow and I have tried different formats too, in premiere pro it took 2 hours to render a 5 minute video (saved to .mp4 640x480 pixels, end size was 20mb). This is wayyy to slow.
I compared my Mac with my old PC running Windows XP, it is pentium 4, 3.2Ghz with Hyper threading technonlogy and 1.5 GB DDR Ram. I tested rendering andrew kramers 3d room tutorial, I downloaded the project file. I only chose to render some of it and the old PC was FASTER than the Mac by around 15-20%. BUT, the mac was ONLY using 6% of the 3gb (it only recognises 3 gig not 4 but I dont mind that too much) and the PC was using 60-70% of the 1.5GB (thats using more RAM than the mac) So why can't I get the Mac to use more RAM when rendering, and why is it slower??? It is faster at EVERYTHING else, well the ram preview is about the same.
How can I get my mac to use more of the RAM and why is it rendering and previewing the same if not SLOWER than my 5 year old PC?
Any help would be awesome, thanks

RAM allocation is dynamic, you cannot enforce anything on that end. AE takes what it needs and no more. I would think that your issue has to do with the graphics card/ chipset, so my first suggestion would be to make sure you have updated your AE to the 8.0.2 patch. Secondly, run a software update for your Mac. If neither of this applies and brings any betterment, disable the AE_OpenGL.plugin. Simply delete it or move it outside the AE directory. Most certainly your issues hinge on your graphics hardware, so one of the previous recommendations should yield a noticable effect.

After Effects Render time extremely long

I am trying to render an After Effects CS6 composition that is 40 seconds long and 1080p with no video footage, just particle animation and logo. However when I add the comp to the render queue and begin the render, the estimated time shows 32 Hours! At the bootom it says 47% ram jused of 7.9 GB. What is going wrong?

Raj Nagar wrote:
Thanks for that, I don't have it on ray-traced 3d because in the top corner on the left it says Renderer: Classic 3d. So i think that seems fine, but I have 8 GB ram with second gen Core i5 boosted to 3.1 Ghz so i don't think that the setup is a problem.
As for the particles, they branch out in lines like branches into a circle. But I still think that 32h is overkill. Even after using the Quicktime codec with the H.264 setting, it still says 30+ hours.
Don't render to H.264. That requires huge amounts of processing overhead on top fo the rendering.
Make a duplicate of your comp. Set the end point to about 10 seconds. Turn off 75% of the layers. Render to the simplest codc in the selection, say, ProRes422LT.
Turn off layers and turn on 25% of the other layers. Render again.
Turn on the other 25%. Render
Turn on the last 25%. Render.
Now you should have a good idea of which layers or effects are messing you up. Tell us about it and we'll probably have some helpful suggestions.
