An output module failed: Not able to export video AE CS6

I have AE CS6 and I'm having troubling exporting out ANY video from after effects. This is what I get now.

FAQ: What information should I provide when asking questions?
Out of all of the info that link mentions I'm particularly interested with version of AE ("CS6" isn't good enough, we need down to the last decimal), output destination, and your output and render settings. That's not to say you should ignore the rest of the info requested though; anything could prove helpful.

An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted.

Whenever I try to render something in After Effects CC 13.1.1, an error message pops up, saying "After Effects error: Rendering error while writing to file '[not going to disclose]' An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted (-1610153464)."
Screenshot of the error message:
I tried reinstalling QuickTime (7), repaired it, updated After Effects to the latest version(as I am writing this), checked firewall software, and used other formats such as AVI.
Adobe Media Encoder (CC 2014-latest version) won't work with me, either.
I sent the composition to Adobe Media Encoder, and this is what I got, no progress here.
Screenshot:
It took a while to connect to the dynamic link server, and failed.
This is a log of what has happened in Adobe Media Encoder.

EDIT(11/23/2014 8:31PM PST): For some reason, other projects work for me just fine. I am not sure why it is not working on one project.
Screenshot of a new project other than this I am rendering at the time of writing this edit:

Can other projects can output to the same output location? Yes
Can other projects render with the same render settings (codec, format, etc.)? Yes.
If you create a new composition and just add a solid layer to it with no effects in the same project does it render? No. I still get the error.
Can you render that brand new comp with the same render settings, output settings, output location etc.? Yes.
If so, what effects are present in the offending comp? Twixtor Pro in all the cinematics/clips, Motion Tile and Transform for pan/crop & wiggle, Magic Bullet Looks and Bad TV Warping preset with just Wave Warp & Venetian Blinds for color correction, Gradient Ramp for text, Bad TV Warping preset with everything for effect, Transform for fade in/out, and ReelSmart Motion Blur v4.1.2 for motion blur.
Also, what scripts are you using? Just the Move Anchor Point script I found from one of Mt. Mograph's videos, Summit 16 - 2.5D Minecraft Steve - After Effects - YouTube.
Have you ever installed any third-party codec packs? (I've heard of some codec packs causing weird issues like this.) Yes, (not everything I have, just everything I can think of and find) I have K-Lite codec pack, Fraps, x264vfw, and Xvid MPEG-4 codec.

AE CC Render error output module failed

Hi, I tried my best to find this answer on the forums but couldn't find anything current.
I have isolated two issues in AE CC where I can duplicate a failed render with this message:
After Effects error: Rendering error while writing file "xxx". An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464)
This happens when opening an AE CS6 project and trying to render a simple comp with only one text layer and a moving mask. It also just happened after my first round trip test with Cinema 4D. I could RAM preview the c4d layer but the output to Quicktime h.264 failed.
I have even tried a full reinstall of AE CC. I have the basic FxFactory Pro plugins and MagicBullet Looks installed, but neither are being used since this is a single 1280x720 comp with a single C4D layer. Plus like I said it failed with the same error in past CS6 files.
I don't know how to force disable a plugin to test that, but I can't see how an unused plugin could cause a render to fail like this.
I'm on a new (late 2012) 27" iMac
3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
8GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX with 2GB VRAM
OS X 10.8.4
AE CC 12.0.0.404
CUDA driver 5.0.59
Thanks for any suggestions!

Olaf, did you read my reply where I explained my solution? First you should try the steps outlined in the article Todd references:
http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2011/02/troubleshooting-quicktime- errors-with-after-effects.html
There seems to be a good way to isolate if it's the same issue I had, though. Let me go into a bit of depth for you.
The trick was to launch the OS X app called Console, located in Applications > Utilities. It is a program that compiles and displays the system logs in real time. It's great to see the little things happening in the system that don't make it into the user interface. When I had my Console up and generated that same error you're having, I noticed this error in the log:
The key here is the Adobe QT32 Server, which is mentioned in the TCP part of the article I linked to above from Todd. In my case at least, what was happening was that a third party app called AirServer was talking to the system's QuickTime over the same TCP ports the QT32 Server engine was trying, and it resulted in Adobe QT32 Server crashing, and that alert being thrown up in AfterEffects.
If you're in the same boat, it means you have some sort of app or system extension that is also talking to QuickTime over TCP. That may not make any sense, but the easy thing to do is quit ALL third party apps, then quit AE, then restart AE.
In my situation if AE gave me the error and then I quit AirServer, the error still happened because Adobe QT32 had already crashed. You have to relaunch AE after closing the offending third party app.
To be sure you've quit all third party apps, open Activity Monitor (Applications > Utilities), chose "My Processes" from the dropdown menu, and scan through the list to make sure. You don't have to recognize all the processes there, but you should be able to recognize any third party ones you put there.
Hope that helps!

"...an Output Module failed" error screen...

Greetings AE Peeps!!
Long time - no see - been stupid busy. My Studio has just ponied up and upgraded our 5 Edit Stations to AE CS5. I personally am a huge advocate of not upgrading software while in the middle of a project, but this was out of my control. I am having a lot of crashing (app just quits for no reason while scrubbing) and other weirdness...like today. I am rendering a 3 minute piece in ProRes 4:2:2 (1280x720p) to my RAID (no special plug-ins or anything) and I get the following error at the very end of every render:
After Effects Error: Rendering error while writing to file (insert my RAID path here). An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted (-1610153464)
I have never in 11 years got a "failed Output Module error". Can anyone speak to this and tell me how to get rid of it short of reinstalling AE?
Grazie! Ciao!
Joey

First, make sure that you've installed the After Effects CS5 (10.0.1) update.
Regarding the output module failure: It may be that this is because you have an output module created in a previous version of After Effects that refers to a codec or set of settings that isn't working in After Effects CS5. The best thing to do is to remove the output modules from the render items and then rebuild them in After Effects CS5. That may sound tedious, but you only need to do it once, and then you can save output module templates that you know work with After Effects CS5.
As Mylenium suggested, there are some challenges associated with the fact that there is no 64-bit QuickTime, so we had to create our own 32-bit-to-64-bit QuickTime conversion layer (QT32 Server). QuickTime does work with After Effects CS5, but there are some hiccups in some cases on first use.
If this doesn't help, answer back and we'll help you through.
Oh, this might be useful, too:

Output module failed 1610153464

I am running CS5 on a Mac 10.6.6. I have both QTX and QT 7.6.6 installed
Every time I render, it gives the following error message:
An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464)
I've tested the files on a different machine and they open and render out fine.
I'm having these issues and I don't have any plugins installed.
Re-Installed everything multiple times, trashed preferences, removed plugins from the Application support and still no luck.
The only thing that works for me is outputting to a PNG or JPEG sequence.
If I try to render using the Animation preset, It gives the error message.
I also have been getting a weird "MooV" error message when I try to import certain types of quicktime files. Not all just a few random ones.
All of this leads me to believe it is a Quicktime issue.
Please can you help. Other than doing a complete clean operating install, which i am doubting will work.
Robin Souter

hey todd,
good thinking, I was just trying the very same thing. alas when I try to open my AE project in Media Encoder I get the message
"Could not connect to Adobe After Effects. Please verify that Adobe After Effects and Adobe Dynamic Link components are installed."
I'm scratching my head, this also worked yesterday.
Could it be anything to do with de-activation? I have cs5 installed on my workstation in my studio.
I also have it installed on my laptop at home. do I need to contact Adobe each time I want to use 1 machine or the other?
Also ever since installing cs5 on my laptop I get the following message each time I launch After Effects (dont know if its connected as I normally just click ok and use AE as normal)
"Runtime Error! This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information"
or maybe I didn't run the adobe uninstaller cleaner utility to get rid of traces of old versions, before installing cs5 to my laptop
thanks

Backwards Compatibility mapper module was not able to start

Hi ,
We have an issue with our SCOM 2012 agents not getting discovered because the Backwards Compatibility mapper module was not able to start.

Hi Jesty,
Based on the Article it seems to be for SCOM 2007 SP1.
And as you mentioned you are using SCOM 2007 R2. I see that Microsoft has fixed this issue about the article you have mentioned above.
Below is the article from MS for that.
951380 Some
computer properties for a cluster node may not be collected by the discovery process in System Center Operations Manager 2007 Service Pack 1
Check the below link where MS has mentioned it has fixed this issue in SCOM 2007 R2.

So i dont think it is necessary for
you to install this Hotfix

Not able to export web analysis report to excel smart view from workspace

Not able to export web analysis report to excel smart view from workspace.
Error :Web launch operation has been cancelled.
Can anyone help me to resolve this issues

I realized that I can put a block in WebI and then I can pull that in excel alongside of static header, after putting the question.
My interest to know whether it is by design in XI 3.0 or it is an issue. But by the replies it seems to me like it is by design.
@Anis: I can't go for header as part of Body. Because this report is viewed in Web by many other users. I can't have separate report for Live office, it is a restriction for me. If I use the header in body, it wont look good I guess.

Why am I not able to export NEF files to Photoshop from Lightroom to edit. This is new. When I right click on an image, the export to PS option is not selectable.

Why am I not able to export NEF files to Photoshop from Lightroom to edit. This is new. When I right click on an image, the export to PS option is not selectable. I've never had this happen before. I haven't used it for a few weeks, so maybe there's an update (Mac or otherwise) that's screwing things up? HELP!

I have an Edit In - Photoshop option, but not an Export - Photoshop option.
Obviously to have right-click Edit In to work, the photo you're right-clicking on needs to be selected. I assume this is not the problem, and that the photo is selected.
Mavericks 10.9.3 has a problem where the Users folder is hidden, and you need to update iTunes to fix it, but it's been a few weeks since this happened so hopefully you're up-to-date and the Users folder isn't hidden anymore.
If you can't get things to work, I'd uninstall LR and uninstall Photoshop, then install Photoshop, and update it, then install LR and update it, as a way to get any wayward security or other OS-level things reset.

Output module failed

I can only render out one movie from AE (CC 12.2.1.5). If I want to render a second movie I get ""[file path and name].mov”. An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464)"
I've deleted DVCPROHDVideoOutput.component as read on a help file (http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2013/08/solutions-for-problems-with-quicktime-files-in -after-effects-cc-12-0-because-of-conflict-with-dvcprohdvideoout-quicktime-component.html) but dit didn't fix it.
A restart of OSX (10.9.2) fix it for one render and then I got the same problem again. I render to DXV codec (rgb+alpha) (http://resolume.com/software/codec)
What do I do to fix this? Because rebooting is taking to much time
thx Joost

Have you installed any third-party codec packs (such as K-lite)? I've seen them cause this sort of issue in the past.
Have you tried it in AE 13.1 or 13.0?

Not able to export all the rows into excel

Hi All,
I'm not able to export all the records in discoverer report to excel sheet.
There are actually 27000 records in discoverer report, when i export them to excel sheet i can see only 16000 records.
I'm using discoverer plus.
Any suggestions...please share with me.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
Do you have parameters on the worksheet? if so then are you selecting same as when you ran it?
What version are you using ? Plus? Viewer? Desktop?
You can export the worksheet into CSV instead of XLS and see what you get.
Also check other formats to see if this missing lines happen in all export methods or just the XLS.

Not able to Export RequestDataset from MDS in oim 11g

Hi All,
I am able to import request dataset into MDS, but not able to export the same data set. How ever, I have exported oim-config.xml, successfully. Can any one help me here. Actually I wanted to export any one of default request datasets (AssignRolesDataset.xml). Is it possible?
Thanks.

Thanks Rajiv, I was confused with requestDataset's attribute "name" and file name of the requestDataset. I thought, OIM uses the name of the requestDataset to export as well. But its using the filename of the requestDataset. How ever, I exported succefully. Thanks.
Can you explain, what type of information, OIm stores in DB for export and import funcationality?
Thanks.
