After Effects wont render full res - possible RAM issue?

Not sure if this has ever come up before - I'm unable to render out of after effects and RAM preview half res. When I try and RAM preview the comp just goes black and when I send it to render I get the following message:
After Effects warning: Logged one error - "error Rendering while writing to file. An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted(-1610153464)"
I'm able to RAM preview half res okay, and can render out half res as well. I've tried it with rendering multiple frames simultaneously on and off, clearing the disk cache and turning off any RAM hogging effects.
An obvious cause I've identified is that I've recently upgraded and replaced the RAM on my machine, however, after effects has been the only software effected. Cinema 4D renders no problems and I've had no other problems with the general running of my machine.
Have there ever been any cases before of After Effects not working with certain types of RAM?
My set up -
Mac Pro - Early 2008
OSX Mavericks 20.9.2
2 x 2.8 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
16GB 800MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
250GB Samsung SSD

I'm running After Effects CC 12.2.1.5
Sorry should have mentioned, no matter what format I render as, whether it be QT or TIFF sequence, I still get the exact same error.
QT version i'm using is 7.6.6
In terms of reproducing the error, it seems to happen to pretty much anything I try and render, unless it's an extremely simple one layer comp. Rendering a comp with 2 image sequence layers (1920 x 1080) will cause this to happen, but if there's just the one image sequence alone in the comp (and no other layers) then it will render.

My After effects wont render the whole video?

So I recently switched to After Effects CC 2014 and for some reason, When I go to render my video, the first clip is the only thing rendered. I Have the whole area selected open however.

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details like exact comp settings, render settings and what have you.

After Effects wont render video completely

Usually I am pretty good at solving problems, but for this issue, it seems that I cannot figure out why I can't fully render a composition. I've used After Effects for over 3 years and I've done tons of video work for clients.
The issue lies when I send my entire composition to the render queue. My export range is for the entire composition. But when I press render, it only renders 21 seconds and then stops completing the action of rendering.
I'm in Adobe CC 2014, if that makes enough of a difference to fixing my problem.
Can I get some help?

I just recently installed the newest version of After Effects and did a system reboot. I make it past 0:21:09, but the render stops at random points. The farthest it makes is to 0:52:03. It is a three minute long video. I get an status saying "Failed at (Timecode)".
This is the latest version of Adobe. I am operating under 10.8.5.
I don't understand why I am having these issues.
For it will stop at times before then, but, I honestly dont know the issue.

Stuff about erasing fonts, deactivating fonts, then also, finding folders /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/CS4/MediaCore---> which was empty and had nothing to erase or do anything with http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/2/973961 ...Still nothing.
this is the error.
Last log message was: <140735190438672> <EAMountPoints> <0> Error: mount point list is empty
My computer is a brand new mac book pro. Tip Top of the line. Not sure what other details i should give.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
UGH boooo

I saw that there were a series of questions i need to answer in order to get the right answers.
What exact version of After Effects? Include the minor version number (e.g., After Effects CS5.5 with the 10.5.1 update). Do not just say "After Effects with the latest updates"; give the specific version number.
12.2 - after effects CC - CS6
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
yes. i even uninstalled and reinstalled the newest...again.
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
Mac OSX 10.9.1
Tell us about your computer hardware. Include CPU type and number of processor cores, amount of RAM installed, GPU, number of disk drives, and how any external drives are connected.

What versions of drivers for your graphics hardware do you have installed (including CUDA driver and driver for display adapter)?
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MBInstalled CUDA
Do you have any third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU)?
NO
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
Last log message was: <140735190438672> <EAMountPoints> <0> Error: mount point list is empty.Generating crash log, which may take a few minutes. although there is another window that says A LOT MORE!!
What were you doing when the problem occurred?
trying to open it.
Has this ever worked before? If this worked before by doesn't work now, what has changed on your computer in the intervening time?
It has worked for about 4 or 5 days. It was even working when i was doing the same action prior to the last time it stopped working. I was uploading a file from my other computers file. Which i had done many times throughout the day. As i work on one computer and when i have to leave and bring my laptop with me i do so. Because i work on my computer all day long. Desktop or laptop.
Do you have QuickTime installed. (You should.) If so, what version? The answer should be specific, such as "QuickTime 7.6.2".
10.3
What other software are you running?
iWork - Numbers
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?
Yes. I've since deleted them but i'm not sure where else to find the files if they're still around. ?
Are you using OpenGL features in After Effects?
Not sure i know what that is?
Does the problem only happen with your final output, RAM preview, or both?
its just not opening
Are you using Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing?
if that is the Double line play button then yes.
Are you using the ray-traced 3D renderer?
Not sure what that is.
If the problem is with output, give your exact output settings (both render setting and output module settings). Screenshots help.
What is the exact sequence of steps that you are taking?
Thanks for any help you can give me:)

Imovie templates, titles, ken burns effect wont render. why?

Hi I am having great issues.
Once my templates or ken burns effected pictures are in a timeline they wont render. Ive tried everything, but no rendering takes place. Just sits there and does nothing.
Ive even tried wiping imovie and reinstalling still does the same thing help!!!

Hi gregles76 - welcome to the forum!
Two possible angles on this:
1. You are not applying the KB effect correctly - make sure you are following the procedure shown in this tutorial:
http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/imovie/im3-2.html
2. Were you trying to change the setting on photos that already have a KB effect applied? If you were, and you have emptied the iMovie trash after creating KB effects on your photos, you will not be able to further modify the setting, because of the way iMovie deals with the photos.

After Effects CS6 render-only: Custom output modules?

With After Effects CS5.5, we've been able to include custom output module templates (so, aside from the default Lossless, TIFF Sequence with Alpha, etc.). We're having trouble doing the same with CS6. Is there any way to make this work?

this explains what we are trying to use, non-royalty-bearing mode.
http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2012/06/codecs-and-the-render-engine-in-after-effects- cs6.html
please understand we are using a render queue to remotely execute aerender from the commandline.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/aftereffects/cs/using/WS3878526689cb91655866c1103a4f2dff7-79a3 a.html
this is the command that is entered:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS6\Support Files\aerender.exe" -project "\\nas3\graphics\jobs\13912_SHIELD\cmp\BB\BB_CS6_Test2\BB_CS6_Test2.aep" -comp "HeroComp" -output "\\nas3\graphics\jobs\13912_SHIELD\images\BB\BB_CS6_Test2\BB_CS6_Test2.[####].sgi" -v "ERRORS_AND_PROGRESS" -RStemplate "Full" -OMtemplate "SGI_Premultiplied" -s 11 -e 20
if we place ae_render_only_node.txt into the appropriate folder this is the error that is generated:
has video RAM(MB): 0
aerender version 11.0x378
PROGRESS: Adding specified comp to Render Queue
aerender ERROR: No output module template was found with the given name.
LoadLibrary "n" failed!

if we register the software aerender correctly renders the frames.

"Adobe After Effects CS5 Render Issues"!

Hey guys
I currently just downloaded the free trial of "Adobe After Effects CS5" and I am wanting to render some video which I added some colour correction to.
When I put this in the render queue and press render is says "You mus have at lease on render item queued in order to render". Also it says on status "Needs output"
How come this is happening, do I need to buy the full vision.
Cheers
ash

You haven't specified the output location or name. After Effects is telling you to do that.
Follow the instructions here.
I strongly recommend beginning here if you're new to After Effects:

Set sequence to low res, chromakey and then render full res

I have a sequence (original footage is DV50) and I'm working with stills for background.
Everytime I do something, I have to re-render.
I'd like to set the sequence to a setting where I can put down all my assets, set ins and outs (with fades and stuff) and be able to get a good grip. Then I'd like to render at full resolution and make any necessary changes.
I'm experimenting with the "RT" button, but even when all settings to low, I get "Unrendered".
Any help is greatly appreciated!

4499x3301 is huge for FCP. That's way.
Are you aware of things like 'Option \' (Play every frame).
It plays every frame full res, but only on the speed that it can cope with. Saves you lots of renders (and thus rendertime and diskspace)
Or use QuickView (Option 8) on a part from in to out point. That makes it possible to see only a part of a clip that needs to be rendered.
Or when you need to view timing of moving objects, you can choose to use the wireframes of the images. With the desired clips selected in the timeline and the pointer being within the selection, press 'w', until you see the wireframes only. (Use 'w' once or twice again to toggle to normal view and normal view with wireframes).

After Effects CC Render Errors with RED footage and ProRes 4444 proxies

Working on an 8 Core, 2008 Mac Pro with 16GB of RAM running Mountain Lion.
I just upgraded to After Effects CC and I'm having a whole bunch of errors ...
-- the 'MooV' file is damaged or unsupported
-- error getting package info for file "..." ( 3 :: 164 )
-- Error (4) reading frame from file "..." ( 86 :: 2 )
I'm trying to make ProRes 4444 proxies from RED files (sometimes as big as 4K), which will eventually end up in a 1920x1080 project. I'll make a 4444 proxy, work on it all day with no problems, then when I try to render (or save a RAM preview) any one of the previous errors will show up.
My projects seemed to work just fine fine in AE CS6, and I've worked with RED footage in AE before with little issue. I've completly restarted my system, re-installed everything, worked off an external drive, worked on my internal (software) RAID, rendered to local and external hard drives, adjusted my multiprocesser render settings (on and off), cleared the cache ... nothing is fixing it.
Does anybody else have any ideas? Or insight. Or anything?!
Thanks for your time,
Eliot

I'm working on a MacbookPro, Early 2013, OS X 10.8.4, and I'm having the same exact error:
However instead of using RED footage, I'm using a 3rd party plugin called Element 3D and Optical Flares from VideoCopilet.net.
I'm not sure if the bug is related, I'm just wondering if anyone else has any idea on how to fix this problem. I have a fresh install of CC so I can't downgrade to CS6.
Another error popped up during multiple trys in export:
In case the old file was actually corrupted, I checked all my backups that worked perfectly fine with CS6 in the past, and I get the same error when I copy them over to my hard drive on my mac.
My current setup is:
Processor: 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 16GB
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
I really don't want to recreate this entire file from scratch. That would be a lot of hours wasted... any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

After Effects Minimized Render Crash?

I am experiencing a very annoying issue pertaining to After Effects CS 5.5. I recently purchased the product (Production Premium CS5) and installed it on PC only to encounter a strange error. Whenever I do a preview render (pressing 0) and then minimize I then see the number of frames being rendered in the minimized window (this is normal). However, upon clicking the minimized window to reopen it After Effects crashes immediately with the error: After Effects error: "Crash in Progress.Lastlogged message was : <4924><ImporterMPEG><1>Error_printf:No Video Available". After effects gives me the option to save my work and notifies me to contact the Adobe Technical Support Center. I recently purchased this product I am disappointed that I cannot minimize the program while rendering, the program did not do this immediately, it started doing this a couple of days after I started using it.
I have already tried uninstalling after effects and reinstalling and i get the same error everytime.
My PC Specs:
8GB RAM
AMD 1100T Sixcore 3.3 Ghz processor
GTX 275 graphics card performance edition
Is there something I'm missing? Please Help me resolve this issue, After Effects is a good product.

It usually crashes with this log message:
"Crash in Progress.Lastlogged message was : <4924><ImporterMPEG><1>Error_printf:No Video Available"
I never changed anything with my system when this error occurred nor did I install a new driver, I didn't even install a new program or do any system changes.
I have OpenGL disabled but I get this crash with it on or off. I have even tried rendering a project where all I had was a square with keyframed position but I still get the same rendering crash/error when I minimize the window, therefore I don't think its an effect causing it or OpenGL.
Any Ideas?

Using Windows Server 2008 with After Effects as Render Slave?

Hi guys,
We have a fair number of servers that run Windows Server 2008 64bit. We wanted to further utilize these boxes and wanted to know if it's possible to use them as render slaves with After Effects? Anybody doing this? We couldn't find anything for system requirements on Windows Server 2008.
Thanks for everyone's input.
Jason

Hi Todd,
Another question for ya. Does it matter if we have some machines still running 32-bit render slaves for after effects and implement a master 64-bit CS5 after effects Master? Can you mix it up OR do all the machines have to be upgraded to the same version, eeven though they are just render slaves? We are just doing some thinking on reconfiguration and what to do so it's right the first time.
Thanks for the input.

Performance with After Effects on New 27" iMac 24GB RAM should be SO FAST Right?

Hello, I just got the new 27" iMac, installed 24GB Crucial RAM. It's got 3.4GHz Intel Core i7 processor.
And NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB....
So I just installed my After Effects and Premiere programs, opened up a project. Literally just tested a 3 second after effects composition and rendered it. It says it is using 18% of 24GB of RAM and it is taking over an hour. I even attempted changing the output setting to just a H.264 1080p 23.976. Same issue.
I am pretty new at this stuff, but I've got an 8GB Powerbook that would render this in less than a minute. Can you think of something I should check on? What could be causing this? Seems like something is very wrong here. I haven't even done anything to my settings, it's basically all out of the box (software and computer).
Thank you so much!

We cannot know. You need to tell us what exactly is going on in your comp. The simple explanation would be that you have set your comp renderer to raytrace 3D and with that on, on systems that do not have a supported GPU even simple, conventional stuff renders for ever. Check this. For anything else we need much more info.

After Effects 1080P Render Issues

I am having a heck of a time RAM Previewing 1080P projects. They stop previewing after so many frames.
I set the preview to half, instead of full and it worked. But when I rendered the project, play back was in slow motion.
For a 10 second clip, the file was also 1.8 GB which seems drastically large.
Any tips would be HIGHLY appreciated.
Using CS3 and WinVista

>Any tips would be HIGHLY appreciated.
How does "Rob a bank and buy some equipment!" sound? ;-) As Andrew said, all you are seeing is pretty normal behavior for working with HD stuff, even on powerful systems. Check out this site for some ideas about the data rates and storage requirements you could/ should expect:
http://www.blackmagic-design.com/support/detail.asp?techID=30
As you can see, the requirements are rather high for uncompressed stuff which in turn means that you'll need a quad-striped RAID with fast discs hooked up via SATAto get realtime playback and you will need a 64bit system with something like 32 GB of RAM to preview half a minute of footage at full res (assuming AE would be 64bit native and could do it). The absolute file sizes should be no worry, though. It just so happens I was strolling through our local Saturn electronics store and they had 500 GB discs for little more than 100 Euros.... Discs are ridiculously cheap these days (if you need them just for storage, not speed)
