After Effects Rendering keeps failing

Hi,
So recently I am having an issue with rendering / exporting a project in After Effects CC or even linking the project to Premiere Pro CC and rendering that way.
Video will get to about 10% and fail the render process within After Effects, When linking to Premiere CC any effects will be lost when in the Premiere program..
Has anyone had an issue with this?
Footage is 60FPS
720P ( DSLR )
Effects ( Video Co-Pilot Twitch )

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info and exact technical details like render settings, effect settings etc.. None of what you have provided is in any way what I would call exact.

After Effects CS6 Update fails with the code (U43M1D204)

I was just downloading and installing the latest updates on both my windows workstation and my Apple MBP. Everything went fine on the windows machine but I keep getting the following error when my MBP attempts to update After Effects CS6:
Update Failed
The download appears corrupted. Please try again after a few minutes.
(U43M1D204)
I am running the latest version of Yosemite (10.10.2). Is there some half downloaded file I can delete to make this work? I've waited. I've rebooted. I'm VERY reluctant to delete my current installation of CS6 if this is what is required. I'm an instructor at a local community college. The college currently only runs CS6. I teach an animation class that uses After Effects and as such I need CS6 working on my MBP. If this update is non critical I'll just let it ride. Oh, yea and I also keep AE CC and AE CC 2014 for no other reason than I can take a students CC 2014 file all the way back to CS6 so they can work in class. I'm guessing I'll need to add CC 2015 or what ever they call it so I will have 4 installations of AE just to do file conversions..... but that is another thread.
Any help on the current install issue would be appreciated

What update is it? What current version of CS6 do you have?
It may be a permissions thing. Mac OSX goes all screwy in the permissions whenever it updates. Try fixing that first. fixing permissions problem that impedes start of Adobe applications

After Effects CC 2014 fails to load Quicktime Components.

After Effects CC 2014 fails to load Quicktime Components and unable to export or render .mov, .mp4 or any type of quicktime videos.
The application will launch and I can create and edit projects and comps but I am unable to render any type of movie files. I can render images sequences.
I have the latest version of Quicktime (10.3) and Quicktime Pro 7. Please let me know what I need to do to get AE CC 2014 to render movies.
Thank you.

Kevin,
I’ve reinstalled Adobe AfterEffects CC (version 12.2.1.5) and am still having the same issue with the failure to recognize Quicktime.
Can you assist?

After Effects download keeps restarting

Premiere, Audition, Photoshop and Lightroom have downloaded fine, however After Effects just keeps restarting the download - 3.5Gb of bandwidth so far and it has just restarted again - back at 1% ! Highest it's got to is 60 %. This is very frustrating.

AE is about 1.1 GB, but your IE temp space has nothing to do with it. ADM/ AAM use your system's global temp... anyway, if it doesn't work, you can try the direct download:
Direct Download Links for Adobe Software
AAM will/ should recognize the external install and provide the licensing.

After Effects Rendering error (-1610153464)

I'm trying to render and export a short sequence that I created solely in Adobe After Effects CC. I immediately get the response: After Effects error: Rendering error while writing to file.... An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464). Not using any external plug ins, tried exporting to desktop and external hard drive. AE version 12.2.1.5, Mac OS X version 10.9.2, Quicktime version 10.3. I realise other people have posted this error before but I'm not using external plug ins, any advice appreciated.

After Effects Rendering Problem and RAM Preview Problem

I posted a question about this yesterday but I thought I would repost it with more detail!
I have a restless issue here with rendering and RAM preview. I am simply trying to create a viral ad which uses the cloning effect I achieved with masking for my college coursework and I have completed the process of creation but I have ran into problems. The RAM preview will only play up to a certain point then it will just stop and this effects the final render because it gets to the point in the rendering where the RAM preview stops and then a message will pop up saying the rendering has failed or something? (Screenshots Below)
I have tried RAM previewing just one of the three videos I am using and it still stops at the same point.
I am using .avi files and have tried converting to .mov, .mp4, .wmv all of which didn't work.
I am using After Effects CS4 ver 9.0.0.346
My computer specs
AMD SEMPRON processor 2.7Ghz (single core)
2GB RAM (I know its not alot ;))
ATI Radeon HD 5600 512mb
Creative audigy 2 sound card
Windows XP Serivice Pack 3
It's quite urgent and I hope someone can help!
Cheers!

With just 2GB of RAM, I'm impressed that you can generate that much of a RAM preview. RAM previews use RAM. When they run out, they stop.
Have you tried rendering the clip using the Render Queue. If so, does it also report an error at a similar point? If it renders correctly from the queue, you're done. If it doesn't, you probably have a corrupt source file.

After Effects Rendering stops is away from PC

Hello,
I'm having a lot of troubles with a relative simple project, I have five h.264 1080p 5d MKii files i've mounted on premiere timeline 1280*720 25p (totally 4 minutes) after that i've sent to After Effects via dynamic link, and done some simple lumakeying, i realized a fake studio with white background and a 3d logo (VC Element 3d) that stands near the actor, after i added dome simple camera movement and basic color correction.
Now im experiencing tremendous rendering time trough Adobe Premiere Pro 6-28 hours (for only 4 minutes of video), at the end the file is corrupted. After effects preview fawless, scrolling mouse at full resolution is very fast almost realtime.
Now i am experiencing extremely long time also with queue rendering. I've noticed that AE renders only if i'm moving the mouse if i stop moving rendering goes on "pause", with gpu and cpu at 100%.
I have an Asus G750JX 4700hq 3.4ghz (on TURBOBOST) 32gb RAM (1600mhz Corsair CL9), gtx770m (3gb DDR5 VRAM), 2 SSD one for OS another for AE Caching, External USB3 7200RPM (160mbps) for footage. AE and Premiere CC, W8.1.
I've tried to transcode source h.264 files to Animation, but nothing changes.
Also on premiere if i keep moving the mouse (with a simple application) it renders in 20 Minutes but the file at the end is corrupted.
I've also tried to disalble, enable Multicore Rendering, CUDA Engime, clean cache.
I've never had this kind of problem.

After 48 hours of headache, i found the problem, my sistem was infected by a Trojan that uses th GPU when IDLE for mining... so no problem when working on timeline but low performance when i was away from pc... i removed the virus, killing the proces: sistemewhileidle.exe and clean the users/temp folder where the virus was stored after i searched for entries in the system reg and delete.

Adobe After Effects CS6 keeps crashing before it even starts

So like a year ago I purchased adobe after effects. I used it almost every day till about 2 months ago till I started using another video editing program. So for 2 months I did not open AE. Today I felt like using it because I felt it would do a better job that sony vegas so I tried to open it. It brought up the purple icon and it gave me an error. ''After Effects error:Crash in progress. Last logged message was (number here changes every time i do it) <dynamiclink> <5> c:/program files/adobe/adobe after effects cs6/support files/32/dynamiclinkmanger.exe. after this messege it just automatically exits after saying it crashed. I really need it to work since my final for college depends on it. I tried to uninstall it several times with numerous programs but none work. Whats wrong? how do i fix it ? is their a file or something missing? i looked on updates on adobe bridge and it said i was up to date. In addition i manualy tried to download an update and when i tried to open the update file it would open up af and display the same messege. any suggestions welcomed. thanks

The short version is that you either have changed your graphics setup, messed up your CoDecs, done something weird to your media cache or have permissions/ security issues or whatever. Since you failed to provide any system information we can't be any more specific.

Computer specs for nice 3D rendering/ after effects rendering and video rendering in general ?

Hi there! I would like to know what the perfect specs for a laptop/workstation/computer are, so that I could do my creative work from home..my old laptop (Macbook Pro, 8Gb Ram, V 2010) is not good enough for 3D rendering, not even Video rendering or After Effects... I need to know what graphics card for eg or how much Ram or what I need to look for in a computer so that I won't get any error messages after rendering for half a day anymore...;) (--> very annoying) Money is not a first priority...i would first like to know, what the best option would be that one could have and then down size from there;)
I would appreciate every help:) my laptop is dying...i need something new and better;)
cheers stephs

Regardless of workflow, you want a workstation, not a laptop. You will get much more bang for your buck.
Also, as others have said, Windows machines tend to be better choices than Macs right now. And that's coming from two people who used to use/love Macs...
In general, you want the fastest clock speed on your processor that you can afford. You want as many cores as you can get with that nice, high clock speed.
Ideally, you want 4GB of RAM per core of your processor - MINIMUM 16 GB of RAM, (but get as much as you can afford).
You want an SSD for your cache and a good-sized regular hard drive to hold footage, renders, etc.
GPU matters for Premiere and any third-party plugins that use it (like Red Giant Universe, Element 3d, Mettle's ShapeShifter, etc.), but not for AE and not for Cinema 4D (which comes free with AE these days).
Again, this is just some generalization. For more specific info, we'll need to know more about what you're doing.
Also, you don't need to take our word for any of this; read what Adobe has to say on the matter: FAQ: What computer and components should I buy?

Why after effects renders me with bad audio?

I rendered almost six times and the result of these renders is that audio takes me wrong, when I play it in Windows media audio don´t reproduce, and I reproduced a file alternative to this and reproduced it excellent, the worst is that when I play in VLC or Media Player the audio is ok, that's not the main problem, because for me it would reproduce any of the programs that it works, but I need to make this video with less size or weight and when I make this process finally the audio it´s completely damaged. This has never happened before. Please help me.

I'm not quite sure what you're saying. Are you saying that when you render from After Effects the audio sounds bad but the audio file that was in your composition doesn't sound that bad when you play it in other applications?
You aren't telling us what your original audio file is like or what your render settings are in After Effects, so we do not have a lot of information that we might need.
Is the sound okay when you do a RAM preview in AE?
What is the file format of the audio file?
What settings are you using to render out of AE?
If your original audio is an MP3 file, try transcoding it to a WAV and using that in AE. Then render an uncompressed file out of AE and use the Adobe Media Encoder to do your final delivery file. That's the proper workflow anyway. AE should not be used to make your final compressed version.

After Effects Rendering Problem (Please Help!)

Hello, I recently purchased adobe after effects CS6 for my Asus i7 laptop running windows 8 OS with a nvidia graphics card. I had just finished my after effects project and I went to render it out. I chose all my settings as H.264 and best settings. I click render and it starts off fast and rendering fine. About half way through the render it stops adruptly but does not signify any error message on the screen. The software shows that it is still trying to render but the render load bar does not move neither does the time lapse (time remaining).
If you have any idea what the problem may be or how to fix it please post a comment.
Thank You!

We need to know a lot more if we're going to help you. Please provide answers to the questions listed here: "FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?"
> Renders stopping halfway through has usually nothing to do with the output format, so for the time being let's ignore the theoretical hubub about H.264
If the format being used is H.264 in a QuickTime container, this can be a problem, since that codec does have problems with the use of many threads, and these problems often occur partway through processing. There is more information about this here.

Help need to understand After Effects Rendering

Hi There
I have just built my first editing pc.
I want to do Editing in Premiere and AE.
I understand it is best to share the load over 3 drives, and so i have
C: SSD - OS/programs
H: 1 TB HDD - media
F: 500GB EXternal Hard drive - renders
in premiere pro i have made it so i read of the media of H: and render to F:
BUT in after effects i am having trouble understand all this disk cache and confirmed media cache business.
I want to have my renders/previews go onto F: as i dont want my SSD to full up!
what i want to know is where do i allocate the disk cache, confirmed media cache, and the data base stuff.
or does after effects delete renders itsself afterwards.
if anyone could help or give me a simple answer as to what these disk cache and media cache things are in AE that would be amazing
Also when i hit space bar to play in AE it goes green for a few seconds then it leaves the bar behind blue!
dont understand
would appriciate any hep

Thank for for all your help.
So tell me if im now right.
When working in AE, I should:
1.Import media that is on its own drive (in this case H:)
2. Have my disk cache set on the SSD (C:) and maybe put it at a limit of 5-10 gb if I dont want it to take up much room.
3. Not worry about ram previews taking up space as they only occupy my 8gb of ram temporarily, whilst im working in AE.
4. Export/Render to My other drive (F:) when done.
Has my understanding improved?... or am I still being a wally.
Regards
