After Effects stops rendering when I jump to another application, like a browser

I'm a long time AE user. I've never seen this issue.
When I start a composition to fully render, it's fine until I jump to another application and let it work in the background.
As soon as I click off of AE, I get the "job finished chime" and it shows a completed render up to the point that it was at at the time I jumped off.
On a side issue, but might be related, AE "auto hides" when I click off to another application, rather than stay on screen.
I'm working on an iMac with Yosemite 10.10.1 OS.

AE CS6 and later versions can all run on Yosemite.  Each has its own problems with the OS.  If you haven't updated AE, you need to do so to get the fix for Yosemite.

  • After Effects stops responding when importing larger video

    Although this is likely a common topic, I've searched just about everywhere for an answer to this new problem I'm experiencing and I have had no luck.
    Just recently, out of the blue, when I try to import larger (100+mb) quicktime videos into after effects the program stops responding and it doesn't give me an error message.  Smaller 2mb videos import without a problem but I can't even drag a large video into the comp without it closing down on me.  I've imported 400 rpf pictures in sequence which was 1gb and it worked fine but larger videos just shut it down.  I've tried the following:
    - adjusting my OpenGL settings.
    - removing my gl plugin
    - adjusting my texture memory
    - resetting preferences back to default
    - purged my image and video memory
    - cleared all the caches
    - re-installed quicktime and made sure it was the correct version
    - re-installed after effects (cs5.5) version 10.5.5.253
    - reduced resolution
    - swore loudly and cried uncontrolably
    I have used this videos many times in the past without problem it just seems that all of a sudden the video is too big making the program shut down.
    I'm on Windows 7 Intel quad core processor
    16gb ram
    Grapics Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 (4064mb ram)
    I've checked the graphics card and I'm running the most up to date version.
    I hope I have provided enough information.  I appreciate any help in advance.

    Well, I'd back up all your data first, if you haven't already. You should be doing that all along anyway. (Don't forget things like Photoshop brushes, Animation presets, etc. in your Adobe folders.)
    Alright, before we go crazy, I would Google around for instructions on how to completely remove K-Lite.
    If, you follow that and it's still messing up, the second thing I would do is to uninstall all your Adobe software.
    Then run the CS Cleaner Adobe provides on their website.
    Uninstall Quicktime.
    Download and install a new version of Quicktime 7 (NOT Quicktime X).
    And then reinstall your Creative Suite software.
    If, after those steps, it still doesn't work, then you are going to have to go nuclear.
    The first step is to back up all of your data. Documents, fonts, project files, stock footage libraries, music, animation presets, project templates, etc. Anything that you've added to the computer (except for programs).
    Your computer either came with recovery disks or the ability to create them. Make the disks if you haven't already.
    Put them in and reboot the machine. It should give you an option to wipe out everything and install a clean version of Windows. You will then have to reinstall your programs (NOT k-lite ) and put all your files back on the machine.

  • After Effects stops working when I install PS CS6

    Sorry if there is a lack of info but I will try and describe my problem the best I can. Also sorry if I have posted this in the wrong section
    Its happened twice now and both times I have had to do a system restore to fix the problem because an uninstall doesn't fic the problem.
    When I try and open AE I get multiple boxes pop up that say the same thing, something about a BIB 32:::2 error ( not sure if thats the exact thing )
    I hope this is something that can be fixed
    I have AE working as of now since I don't have CS6 on my computer but I would really like to try it out and still be able to use AE at the same time

    You are using Beta software. That's all that needs saying. Problems are to be expected and it says so in the various disclaimers. And indeed this is not the right place - that's what the PS CS6 public Beta forum is for. Still, even they are going to need some system info which you failed to provide. On a more general note this could be related to hardware acceleration features, but really, ask in the proper place.

  • Just downloaded After Effects CC and when I open the main application only the Render Engine opens, please help?

    Can anyone help on this? I can't find any info about this anywhere

    You are not opening the right app. There are two copies of AE in your program folder, open the one that does not say Render Engine.

  • 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.

    Hi HR and everyone that have the problem error (-1610153453)

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I SCREWD UP AND SHUT DOWN MY MAC WHEN IT WAS IN THE PRIVLEDGES STAGE BECAUSE MY PLUG-INS FOR AFTER EFFECTS WASNT WORKING, WHEN I SHUT IT DOWN AND TRIED TO START IT BACK UP, MY MAC KEPT RESTARTING, TEST-RAN-ERROR..4MOT/1/40000003:HDD-14444? WAT IS THIS?

    I SCREWD UP AND SHUT DOWN MY MAC WHEN IT WAS IN THE PRIVLEDGES STAGE BECAUSE MY PLUG-INS FOR AFTER EFFECTS WASNT WORKING, WHEN I SHUT IT DOWN AND TRIED TO START IT BACK UP, MY MAC KEPT RESTARTING, TEST-RAN-ERROR..4MOT/1/40000003:HDD-14444? WAT IS THIS? WAT DO I DO TO GET MY MAC BACK RUNNING

    I believe you've posted this multiple times. Once is all that's needed. Also, please don't use all caps. Aside from the fact it means you're shouting it's also harder to read than mixed case.
    The error means a bad fan motor or the HDD has failed. In your case it's the latter.  You can try the following:
    Drive Preparation
    1.  Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    When formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Complete the OS X installation.

  • What is the effect called example: when you jump a ski jump and you see each frame

    what is the effect called example: when you jump a ski jump and you see each frame

    I think what you are looking for is Time Remapping .. select the clip and then apply the rime remapping to suit .. when applied you can catch the top right or left edge and slow it down further. The faster you can record in frames per second the better. OIf the effect needs really good quality then go down to video quality and select Optical Flow

  • How can destroy Java Plug - in when i jump to another page without Applet

    When I jump to another HTML page, that not include <Applet> </Applet> tag, the Java Plug-in does not exit and use system's resource. I don't want it make my computer run slow then I want sutdown the Java Plug-in when I stop the page, that have an Applet.

    Hi dekassequi:
    Sorry if I misunderstood the problem......I've never tried swing set because it requires the JVM plugin. All my applets are non-swing and I've noticed that frequently when I exited the browser, it would be stuck in a never-never land requiring ALT-CTRL-DEL to end the browser's task. By overriding the destroy a the call to system.exit seems to have solved my problem -- if there is any error message in the system console, it is not noticeable because it disappeared instantenousely when the browser's own JVM is used.... Besides, destroy is the last thing an applet does anyway....without looking at Java source code, I can only surmise that that's what it does
    As a matter of fact, I've just tried to write some stupid swing applet but I've noticed that one cannot really script an applet that requires a Sun JVM. Here is a link, perhaps you can take a quick look and see if I'm doing something wrong.
    http://home.attbi.com/~aokabc/test/test2.htm
    BTW, I did notice late last night that overriding the destroy method in an applet that requires a JVM plugin does give an error message in the system console which takes a bit longer to close but you know what, at least it got rid of the console afterward -- otherwise, the console just sit in the tray and ALT-CTRL-DEL can't even get rid of it. In the mean time, I'll simply remove the system.exist(0) and leave a skeleton destroy method and see if the JVM console still sit in the system tray.

    V.V.

  • T61 - turns off after a Memory Upgrade when I start an 3D application

    I have replaced in my T61p Notebook the original Memory 1x2GB PC2-5300 with 2 Kingston KTL-TP667/2GB modules. Now, the Bios see 4 GB and Windows see 3GB. That is OK.
    My Problem: When I start an 3D application like Futuremark, the Notebook switch after a few seconds off. No error, no Warning, the screen goes blank and the Notebook turns off. The Problem obtains also when I mix my configuration with the original Module and one of the new ones from Kingston.
    Only the configuration with one 2GB Memory (Original or Kingston) will work.
    Has someone an resolution for my Problem?

    this is a known problem in the T61p which have problems using 2 x 2 gigs of ram when you are using graphics intensive programs. I don't know if there is a fix out yet for this problem.

  • Unable to open forms when Launching another application on same browser.

    Hi,
    I have a server with configuration Oracle EBS 12.1.1 on RHEL 5.5, Database 11.1.0.7. On client machine we use Internet explorer, Firefox and Chrome to access the EBS and forms.
    We are able to open the forms from all browsers, but problem arise when we access another application on same browser, resulting in not opening of oracle forms.
    This is a java application using the same database on the server. This application works fine but Our Oracle Forms has to face the problems.
    When we try to launch the forms, it results in FRM-92101 error. I read the MOS documents for
    R12: "FRM-92101:There was a failure in the Forms Server during startup" Error When Attempting to Launch Forms [ID 454427.1]
    Then I checked the application log file, it says that:
    13/08/12 18:47:41.891 formsweb: Forms session <207> failed during startup: no response from runtime process
    13/08/12 18:50:43.704 formsweb: Forms session <209> aborted: runtime process failed during startup with errors
    Unable to switch to Working Directory: /oracle/TEST/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/forms
    When I further investigate I found there is no such "forms" directory under "/oracle/TEST/apps/tech_st/10.1.3".
    Then I read Oracle Notes:

    But no luck with all these. Please suggest something. Can't open both application simultaneously on same browser.

    Hi,
    Please state whether the application was working fine before.
    Please provide log file  of:

  • Problem with After Effects crashing machine when rendering

    Ive been having a repeated problem with after effects crashing when I try to render a sequence.
    The render halts then first After Effects becomes unresponsive then every other applications follows and I have to hard-restart my machine.
    Can anyone help me find out how to stop this happening?

    i - Illl try to answer these bellow...
    What exact version of After Effects? Include the minor version number---e.g., After Effects CC (12.2.1) or After Effects CS6 (11.0.4). Do not just say "After Effects with the latest updates" or "After Effects CC"; give the specific version number.
    Ive just updated it - I have After Effects CC 13.2.0.49
    Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
    Just don'e this - not tried to render since
    What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
    Late Mac operating system Yosamete 10.10.1 (14B25)
    If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
    There is no error message
    What were you doing when the problem occurred? What is the exact sequence of steps that you are taking?
    Performing a render, the render gets partially through but stops at different parts and hangs, then the computer hangs and I have to hard reset.
    Has this ever worked before? If this worked before by doesn't work now, what has changed on your computer in the intervening time?
    I had a similar problem two days ago, i thought it could be a problem with some animated png sequences and a "matte feather" effect so i replaced the sequences with non animated versions and it seemed to fix the problem.

  • 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?
