Can't render H264 from Render Cue!!!!!

I've got a 1920 x 1080 24fps comp and I'm trying to render it with the render cue as a H.264 1920 X 1080 24fps file and I get this every time:
After Effects: AEGP Plugin Media IO Plugin
There is a mismatch between Output Module settings and Transcode Settings. Please verify your settings and try again.
Invalid framesize/framerate for this Level. Please lower the Frame Dimensions, Frame Rate or increase the Profile and Level and try again.
Media IO2 error: 0cx00b002
Frame dimensions out of bounds
( 5027 :: 12 )
I've tried looking this up and I'm not finding much.
I've checked all my settings, they look correct.
Any suggestions?

There's a big difference between compressing and rendering. AE's render engine only looks at the current frame, mixes and blends all the pixel info from each layer, interprets motion between layers by distance not by pixels, and then builds a new single frame.
Compression is the science of looking forward and backward in time, predicting the placement of pixels with similar values and then deciding how much information you can throw away and still maintain image integrity. Asking AE's render engine to spit out 3 to 10 frames so that a multi pass compressor could examine the frames and make the call would do two things. First, render times would go up exponentially, and secondly, render times would go up exponentially. AE will do a very good job of rendering to h264 single pass, but multi pass rendering even in something as limited as QT Pro, produces dramatically better results with the same data rate. It takes a dedicated program like Sorrensen Squeeze to really produce spectacular results at low data rates.
Hope this helps you understand the process a bit better. I'm perfectly happy to render losless and then process further either in a NLE or a compressor. I never render video that may need to be processed again for any reason to a delivery codec.

  • Add a duplicated comp to the render cue.

    I've created a script that replaces text in multiplt text layers from a csv text file, creates a new comp from each row in the text file, names the comp from the last field in the row.
    At the end of the loop I'd like to add the comp to the render cue. Can't figure out how to get that started. Whatever I put in stops the script and I only end up with one new comp from the text file.
    Here's the lines of code that duplicate the comp.
    for(x=1; x < elementLength; x++){
         //dupe the comp of interest
           var compElement = selectedItemInfo.source.duplicate();
              var compElementName = '';
    Then there are a few lines that generate a name for the comp based on the last field in the csv text file.
    Should I be putting  my add to render cue script right after the cupe comp section or should it be after the name is added.
    Here's the end of create comp name code.
    for(i=1; i <= layers.length; i++){
              for(j=0; j < matchingLayers.length; j++){
               if(layers[i].name == matchingLayers[j].name){
               compElement.layers[i].sourceText.setValue(data[x][j]);
                        //add comp to render cue
    Any pointers would be appreciated. This scripting thing is not part of my usual workflow.

    Adding a single comp to the Render Queue is done...
    app.project.renderQueue.items.add(myComp);
    For multiple comps, place it in a loop.
    for(i=0; i<myComps.length; i++){
         app.project.renderQueue.items.add(myComps[i]);
    It looks like your loop may work this way if you are processing each completely before moving on to the next one.
    for(i=1; i <= layers.length; i++){
              for(j=0; j < matchingLayers.length; j++){
               if(layers[i].name == matchingLayers[j].name){
               compElement.layers[i].sourceText.setValue(data[x][j]);
                        //add comp to render cue
                                            app.project.renderQueue.items.add(compElement);

  • How can I render an active link (yrl) within a UIX/XML page

    How can I render an active link (url) within a UIX/XML page.
    How can I get <jbo:ShowValue> to work in UIX/XML, or is there another way?
    Bill G...

    It may seem strange, but the <contents> of <rawText> aren't actually
    raw - it's only the "text" attribute that's raw. (It seems strange because
    it is. Ah well.) This is different from UIX JSP.
    So, try something like the following:
    <bc4j:attrScope name="Notes">
    <contents>
    <rawText text="&lt;a href=&quot;"/>
    <rawText>
    <boundAttribute name="text">
    <bc4j:attrProperty name="value"/>
    </boundAttribute>
    </rawText text="&quot;&gt;"/>
    Some text in the link.
    <rawText text="&lt;/a&gt;"/>
    </contents>
    <bc4j:attrScope>
    Thankfully, this will be much simpler in 9.0.3, when the following
    will work:
    <link text="Whatever you want">
    <boundAttribute name="destination">
    <bc4j:attrValue name="Notes"/>
    </boundAttribute>
    </link>

  • Can you render clips / transitions

    I have a new Mac that is very very fast. However, even still some video transitions don't play smoothly.
    I can export the whole project into a quicktime movie or .m4v file and see them smoothly, but I cannot see them play smoothly in iMovie.
    Is there a way for iMovie to pre-render effects and transitions so that they don't have to be generated in real time (that is too slow for real time)...?
    (Many of the source files I'm working with are .m4v files, which could be why the transitions are playing back poorly.)

    You can convert the m4v files to Apple Intermediate Codec. That would convert the highly compressed h.264 into full i-frames. You can optimize the clips from within iMovie, or you can do this in MPEG Streamclip or QuickTime Pro.

  • Can Lightroom render 1:1 Previews when importing my Photos?

    Q: Can Lightroom render 1:1 Previews when importing my Photos?
    FAQ revised 25 April 2009
    Ans: Prior to version 1.3 Lightroom did not support 1:1 preview rendering during import, the actual options for  Initial Previews being:  Embedded or  Standard. However, more recent versions allow four types of previews to be rendered during import (i.e.  Minimal, Embedded & Sidecar, Standard,and  1:1). It's also worth noting the following on Lightroom import behaviour: 
    1.  Minimal (Lightroom default) or Embedded & Sidecar is by far the quickest method for getting your photos into the Lightroom catalog. However, the lack of Standard, which is the minimum that Lightroom can actually work with, means that the application will render standard-sized on demand (i.e. as thumbs/photos become visible within the photo Content area). Asking Lightroom to undertake this task at the same time as you're trying to use the application will result in sub optimal performance. 
    2. Importing your photos with the  Standard preview selected within the Import dialog will take longer than 1 above, but on completion Lightroom will already have previews that match the minimum requirement for working in the Library. Assuming that you won't be looking at every image at 100% (i.e 1:1) then this preview size will allow you to quickly review, rate, label, even make quick colour/tone adjustments, etc the photos within the Library module. If you need to see a photo at 100% then Lightroom will render that preview on demand (while it's being rendered you'll see the "Rendering Preview" overlay appear at bottom of preview).  Note that when using a 23" or larger monitor it to is best to set the Standard sized previews so that they are rendered at 2048 pixels
    3. Importing your photos with the  1:1 preview size selected will result in Lightroom taking even longer to complete the import process than would have been the case if standard-sized had been chosen. 1:1 previews also take up significantly more disk space than standard-sized.
    If you're not going to be working on the photos immediately after import but do need to get them into Lightroom as quickly as possible, then the best option would be to choose import option 1. Once the photos have been imported choose either  Render Standard-sized Previews or  Render 1:1 previews from Library module Library>Previews menu.

    When I search these forums for "CFCopyFormattingDescription", I find a bunch of crash reports posted that look almost exactly the same as mine.  It appears there's a bug in iPhoto, perhaps when reading metadata from the JPG file (readRawTiffPropsFromPath).
    Interestingly, the Preview app can open and display the file just fine.  I even opened the inspector and it showed all of the TIFF and exif metadata just fine, no crash.  The file also opens just fine on Windows.
    Now how do we get the attention of the iPhoto development team so I can send them the photos, have them reproduce the crash, and fix it?

  • Adobe Media Encoder can´t render out AE Ray-Trace Composition

    Hey,
    AME can´t render out my composition (or sequence if i include the comp in a PP sequence) which includes some 3D stuff.
    I am able to render it out in AE in a few minutes, preview it easily in AE and even in PP but i´m not able to render it out in AME or PP.
    AME says it would take like 10+ Hours to render it and doesn´t come to an end.
    I tried multiple encoding settings but nothing worked.
    Also i checked, that cuda rendering is enabled in all my Adobe programs, but nothing helped...
    AE File .aep :
    Dropbox - Twitch Infovideo.aep
    AME .epr Preset for encoding :
    Dropbox - Media Encoder Error Test.epr
    Thanks for helping,
    Johannes

    It raises another question: what settings do I need to encode the comp in 720p resolution without taking up lots of space?
    Well, it depends on whether you need a production master (something for broadcast, for example, or to use as a source for other encoding tasks) or if you want a version for distribution. If it's the former, there's nothing wrong with "lots of space" - A Quicktime file with PNG or Animation codec is a good idea, but it will take a lot of space. If it's the latter, H264 is perfect but there's no built-in preset to take 720 material to the web.
    You could do this:
    * Pick the generic H264 template. You'll see that it will give an error if you attempt to render, because the default setting uses an H264 profile/level which doesn't let you use HD resolutions.
    * In the H264 video options, set the "Profile" menu to "Main" and "Level" to 4.0. That will keep it compatible to Quicktime and Flash player, while allowing larger frame sizes and higher bit rates.
    * Set Target Bitrate to 5-8 Mbps and Maximum Bitrate to 9-10 Mbps if you're targetting web delivery. That's a bit over what Apple uses for 720p content on the Apple TV, for example.
    The H264 original preset will instruct you in the comment field to stretch to 640x480 in Output Module. There's no need, since you are using a profile/level combination which allows higher frame sizes.

  • Can't render Themes in iMovier 6.0.3

    I'm having problems with rendering Themes in iMovie 6.0.3.
    I can create the Theme fine. But after I hit "Apply", the theme clip sits in the Clip viewer - complete with its little red "I'm rendering" line - for hours (and hours), apparently doing nothing.
    I can't save the project without iMovie telling me there are still effects rendering, and that I need to discard the rendering to save the file. I can't render the Theme (because it appears to be in some kind of loop). I can't therefore edit m,y movier in the way I want - and my little daughter wanrts a DVD of her school play
    After reading this forum, I removed Flip4Mac and also every other codec I could find on my iMac (I didn't have 3ivx but did have other DivX codecs). I've run plutil to try and find corrupted preference files. I've tried restarting. I've tried creating the Themes in different ways.
    In short, everything I can think of, and the fecker still won't work!
    Anyone got any bright ideas? iMovie is a flagship (and workhorse) Mac app surely - how on earth can it be barfing at doing something so straightforward?

    Stuart, we've seen a number of reports here recently of problems with Ken Burns and Themes rendering after Migration Assistant is used on a new Mac to move files from an old Mac to a new one. Did you do that?
    The problem affects all user accounts. The cause of the problem is still unknown.

  • Can I render Videos with my GPU? With AME or Adobe Premiere?

    Hey guys:
    I record xbox gameplays and post them on youtube. although, my question is can i render my videos with my GPU instead of my CPU with AME or Adobe Premiere and if i can i would like to know please. i usually record 25-40 minute long videos and i like to to render them at maximun depth so they can look nice and crisp but each video is taking around 12 to 15 hours to render.

    Try File > Export > Media straight from Premiere Pro instead of the queue in AME. You do not need to check Maximum Bit Depth when you're exporting directly from Premiere Pro which uses the GPU for certain processes, including scaling.

  • Hi, I can't figure out why I can't render on my timeline. I highlight the segment hit "Apple-R" and it gives me a weird message about "conforming HDV video...." and the bar goes as far as 60-66% and holds there forever. It never renders even partially.

    Yes, I know. I have been working with HDV for some time. I am wondering why it doesn't render when it needs to.. the red and bright-green lines are above, and I've set the render settings such that ANYTHING I highlight and hit apple-R will render. But its not rendering at all.

  • After Effects CS6 Launches to Render Cue after 11.04.2 Update Yosemite

    After Effects CS6 Launches to Render Cue on OS X Yosemite after 11.04.2 update prior to this update it wouldn't even launch. Everything is grayed out as well. I am running a fully licensed version.
    MBP 15 Retina OS X Yosemite

    You're launching the render engine and not the full version of AE. Make sure you're selecting the right app to launch. And if you're super-sure that your shortcut or whatever you're clicking on is the one to launch the full version, make sure you don't have the render engine txt file somewhere you don't want it.
    A blank file named ae_render_only_node.txt in one of the following locations (depending on the user account type) will result in AE launching the render engine only: 
    Mac OS: /Users/[username]/Documents/ /Users/Shared/Adobe/
    Windows: C:Users/[username]/My Documents C:Users/Public/Public Documents/Adobe
    Also, since this is immediately after updating Mac OSX, you're probably going to need to fix permissions: fixing permissions problem that impedes start of Adobe applications

  • Can't render effects in FCP7 for ALL-INTRA video shot on GH3

    I can't render effects on FCP 7 for footage shot on a Panasonic GH3 camera.
    Original files are shot in ALL-INTRA mov files 1920x1080, 25p format. Original files are H-264, and are imported without conversion, edited on  Easy Setup HD XDCAM HD 1080p25.
    I can render effects on the timeline, but there is massive breakup when I export the edit.
    Exporting raw files, without special effects is OK.
    Any suggestions?

    That camera shoots AVCHD...not AVCIntra. Only P2 cameras shoot AVCIntra.
    "Original files are H-264, and are imported without conversion"
    That's your problem.  FCP doens't work with H.264 well.  YOu need to convert the footage to ProRes, and use a ProRes timeline.

    With that preparatory definition out of the way, what do the colored bars mean?
    green: This segment of the sequence has a rendered preview file associated with it. Playback will play using the rendered preview file. Playback at full quality is certain to be in real time.
    yellow: This segment of the sequence does not have a rendered preview file associated with it. Playback will play by rendering each frame just before the CTI reaches it. Playback at full quality will probably be in real time (but it might not be).
