Cannot render After Effects Comp to Quicktime, Lossless

Hi,
I am trying to do a very simple test animation using Video Copilots Optical Flares, an imported PSD file for lettering and a JPG for a background image.
Below is the error I keep getting:
And below are my settings:
I tried some other settings and the file would render but there would be a large green area as if it were an interlaced image. I turned field rendering off (then on, same thing)
I am using an 3.06 GHz iMac, with 4 GB RAM, and After Effects CS5.5.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Could be a file allocation problem, because your drive is too large. Some legacy CoDecs cannot deal with drives larger than 1TB, because their metrics are from an age where files could not be larger than a certain size and the math simply fails. Try rendering the same file to a smaller volume to test...

Not able to render After Effects comp in Premiere CC Pro using Dynamic Link

I've noticed that I'm not able to completely render a After Effects comp inside a Premiere CC sequence. The render bar goes about half way and stays there. I found I have to quit After Effects for the render in Premiere to complete. Is this normal?
I'm running Mavricks on the new Mac Pro.

It's not normal on Windows.

Premiere CC cannot render After Effects files

Windows 8 64-bit, graphics card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (3GB), 32GB RAM, i7 Intel processor
Earlier today I was making changes to a 13 minute film. It has a few After Effects animated stills. Everything was fine until I made some tweaks to the animations in After Effects. BIG MISTAKE. Now the files won't render in Premiere, even though they did last week. The changes were minor. I've tried clearing cache for both Premiere and After Effects, uninstalled and reinstalled both programs. No changes. I tried creating a new timeline and importing the sequence over, but now one of the AE files in the timeline says "Media Offline" even though I've made no changes to it. This ONLY happens with Premiere projects containing these AE files. I tried messing around with other projects, and Premiere works fine. I can edit the animations in After Effects just fine, but Premiere won't render them. It freeze or crashes every time. For some reason, it only started messing up once I edited the AE files this morning and I have no idea why since this is not the first wave of changes I've made to them. Premiere and After Effects are updated, as is my graphics card driver.
Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you both, Jim and Greg, for the help so far. I think I managed to fix it on my own. I was working with 4 After Effects animations at very high resolutions (because the footage had to zoom and pan). I was able to render 3 of them into .avi files, but the 4th was too corrupted. After Effects crashed every time, so I re-created the composition from a new still. That worked, and I rendered that clip into an .avi file as well. After I managed to remove the After Effects file from the Premiere Pro sequence, Premiere stopped crashing. I imported the .avi files and was able to edit and render again. I can only assume Premiere was having too much with the original AE files, either because they were too large, corrupted, or both. Still don't know what went wrong when I edited them Monday morning, but thankfully I was able to work around it.

Adobe Media Encoder CC renders do not reflect changes to Dynamically Linked After Effects Comps

When rendering a Premiere timeline with a dynamically linked After Effects composition, Adobe Media Encoder will sometimes use an older version of the linked composition (even after I have saved changes in the After Effects comp).
For example, if I correct a spelling mistake on some text in After Effects, save the composition, and then add the sequence to the render queue in Premiere, the final output from media encoder still has the old spelling.
If I do a straight export from Premiere instead of adding to render queue, the output is always correct. I've noticed this problem on several different Windows 8.1 systems.
All versions of the software are up to date as of today.
Why is this? Is it something to do with the disk cache in After Effects? Does media encoder have it's own cache that I need to clear?

Hi, I've been having this same issue. Here are some additional things I've noticed about it:
Changes are reflected properly when played back on timeline in Pr CC 2014.
Happens regardless if the dynamic link file was rendered or not, thus deleting the render files does not fix the issue.
The issue can persist through saving, closing, and reopening both AE and Pr.
I'm using OSX 10.9.4, so this is not just a PC issue.
Other than manually watching for every change to be reflected in the render, there is no way to know a problem has occurred. Needless to say this can be incredibly costly.
Please address this quickly, it's completely unacceptable that what we render out could be a different version from what we see on the timeline.
PS Some additional things I will be testing:
Does the issue persist through closing all CC apps, including Media Encoder.
Does rendering directly out of Pr, i.e. not using Media Encoder, fix the issue.

Program monitor constantly freezing/stalling when playing dynamically linked After Effects comps

I'm having program monitor issues when I try to play dynamically linked After Effects comps from my Premiere timeline. I realize it's expected to have jerky playback since After Effects comps are memory and CPU intense, but it doesn't seem normal for these things to happen:
Sometimes during playback, the program monitor completely freezes while audio continues to play and the CTI continues to move along timeline. When this happens, there's no way to stop the playback at all using mouse or keyboard... so I'm forced to just quit Premiere and re-open project.
Program monitor can also freeze when I place the CTI on top of the After Effects comp. Sometimes if I wait a minute, the screen could update and eventually display the After Effects comp.
I'm unable to render effects on the Premiere timeline because it just hangs at "Rendering frame 0" and never advances forward.
There's nothing special about the After Effects comp I'm linked to... it could just be regular text that I animated using ease keyframes and motion blur.
I originally thought it was related to GPU settings but it doesn't make a difference if I set After Effects to use CPU instead of GPU or set Premiere's Mercury Playback engine to software, CUDA, or openGL. I even have the latest CUDA drivers installed on my Mac. But I must mention that this issue got significanly worst after updating to OSX 10.9 Mavericks.
Here's my system details:
OSX 10.9 Mavericks
Premiere 7.0.1 (105)
After Effects 12.0.1.7 (I installed the OS X Mavericks crash update fix)
The most prevalent error messages displayed in the OSX console is:
Adobe Premiere Pro CC[402]: dynamic_cast error 1: Both of the following type_info's should have public visibility. At least one of them is hidden. N5dvaui2ui8MessageTIKNS0_7UI_NodeEEE, N5dvaui8controls23UI_PictureSupplyMessageE.
Here's a few that are less common:
Adobe Premiere Pro CC[402]: [PremiereCocoaMacApplication handleMenuCommand:1633841013 from <DVAMacMenuItem: 0x6100002f8300 About Premiere Pro>]
After Effects[377]: -[NSMenu menuID]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x600000077080
If anybody has any ideas or suggestions, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,

I think I found the problem... OSX Mavericks introduced a power saving feature called App Nap that basically slows down an app that appears to be doing nothing or is minimized in the background.
So essentually when I try to display an After Effects dynamically linked comp via my Premiere timeline, it freezes because OSX put After Effects to sleep.
To fix this, I had to disable the App Nap feature on After Effects. Now everything is performing back at pre-Mavericks levels (which is about 10% stalling playback issues vs 90% stalling). I also noticed that all of the console errors went away.
To disable App Nap in OSX...
Go to your Applications folder
Expand the After Effects CC folder
Right-click on "Adobe After Effects CC.app" and select Get Info
Add a checkmark beside "Prevent App Nap"
Restart the application
I also did this with all my Adobe apps just to be safe.
Hope this helps

Rendering After Effects Comps can be very slow

I have a PP CS6 project which has quite a few in-line After Effects comps in the main sequence. The are all image stabilisation (for clips which are are of a different size of the sequence). When I render then most of fairly quick (several frames a second) but some are very slow (a frame every few seconds). The settings on the warp stabilise is the same for all of them. It seems to be the longer clips that cause problems (sometimes over 30 secs). Anyone know why or got a way to speed up the longer clips?

Good luck,

Welcome home, Mench!
To maintain the alpha channel from AE, the OP will want to look up how to be using two codecs, Animation and ProRes 4444. Both are extensively described in the help system for FCP and After Effects or just google them for several hours of interesting reading. The OP will also need to understand the concept of an alpha channel which, come to think of it, was difficult for me.

Error with "Replace wtih After Effects Comp"

When I use "Replace with After Effects Comp" on a clip in Premier CS5 (Mac), it sends the clip properly, I make my effect in AE (stabilize motion), save, then go back to premier and there is not change to the clip in premier (the change was clear and obvious in AE). In the lower right is a red circle wth an X -- clicking on it indicates "an unspecified error ocurred performaning an action" on the saved AE file.
The clip in Premier is marked red and indicates it is linked to the AE file, but the applied effect has not come through, it just looks like the original.
However, when I make other changes in AE, sich as adding text, no problem -- it updates in Premier.
What could be preventing "Replace with After Effects Comp" from workgin with AE stablizie image tracking files?
Using CS5 on a Mac (10.6.7) wiht the latest updater updates installed on all CS5 products)
Really stuck here. Thanks!

Can I not render wihin AE and have the rendered clip automatically link into Premier?
This method should give you realtime playback of your Ae comp
in the Pr timeline, but you will still have to render first.
Use the "Post-Render Action" in the Ae render queue to import your
completed render into your Ae project, then drop it into your
composite as the top layer, solo that layer, then save and exit.
Open Pr, and you should be able to play the composite without
having to render the timeline... unless there is a deficit in the
horsepower of your rig as Jim suggested in an earlier post.

FAQ: What is the best format for rendering and exporting from After Effects?

How can I sync up my clip in Premiere Pro with the After Effects Comp I replace it with? How do I link them?

I am having some issues seeing a tracked mask work correctly in Premiere Pro. I clicked on my clip in my Premiere pro project and hit "replace with after effects comp". After correctly masking out everything in AE and tracking it to perfection, I clicked save and went back to my Premiere project. However when I view the new "linked" clip in my project it has dropped frames. The mask seems to track correctly but the dropped frames are an issue. Does anyone know how I could fix this?
Thanks,
Ajnies

When I return to the linked clip in my Premiere project, it does not contain every single frame of the original after it has been replaced by the AE comp. It skips about every other frame. I am doing a stop motion animation so this is highly noticeable.

PPro CS4 crashes when importing After Effects comp

I am using Premiere Pro CS4 on Mac, when i try to import an after effects comp that uses the zaxwerks "flag" plugin, premier crashes...why?

Does this happen only when you use the plug-in, or for all comps?

Dynamically linked After Effects comps causing Premiere to freeze (after latest updates)

Normally in a dynamic link, any changes made in After Effects would be displayed in Premiere within a few seconds. However, after the latest software updates... it now takes 1-2 minutes and the Premiere interface is completely frozen during that time.
Anybody else having similar issues?
-Pete

Hi, thanks for the link but I'm having a different issue. My Premiere interface actually freezes and I'm unable to use Premiere for 1-2 minutes.
App Nap is disabled for all Adobe apps and I do frequenly empty my Adobe Media Cache and After Effects disk cache and it doesn't prevent the freezing.
Or sometimes just having a dynamically linked After Effects comp on the timeline slows Premiere down to the point where even scrolling through assets in my project panel is very jerky.

Cannot launch After Effects CC 2014

Hi,
SInce this morning, I cannot launch After Effects CC 2014 anymore.
At the first time, I had a hanging splash screen.
I forced the application to quit.
Now, when i try to launch it, nothing happens, the icon is bouncing in the dock, no startupscreen is showing.
I tried to reinstall the application. Nothing changed.
After Effects CC (12.2) is working correctly.
I see 2 possible reasons :
1) I recently updated to Mac OS 10.9.4
2) Since a few days, each time I launched AE, it said that I had 4-3-2-1 day left to resolve a payment problem (In fact I upgraded my Subscription from Monthly to Year, so I had to cancel my monthly subscription, and then get a new 1-year subscription. It seemed like AE did not see the new subscription)
Any help would be appreciated.
Sorry for approximate english...
Eric

I'd allready tried that but it had no effect.
In Fact, I found a solution from Dépannage des comportements inattendus | Eléments spécifiques d’un compte d’utilisateur | Logiciels Adobe | Mac OS
I had to remove an old startupItem named AdobeResourceSynchronizer.
Now everything is ok !
Thanks anyway

Cannot see After Effects CS6 in the AAM [was: HELP]

Hi,
I am trying to download the trial of Adobe After Effects CS6 trial.I have followed the steps given on the website but when I enter the adobe application manager,I cannot find Adobe After Effects.PLEASE HELP.I need the trial as i am thinking of buying the product.

After Effects requires a 64 bit processor and 64 bit operating system.
If you cannot see After Effects in the AAM then your computer does not meet the system requirements required to run the software.
Most likely you are running a 32 bit version of Windows. If that's the case, you will not be able to download, install or run After Effects.
The solution is to get a 64 bit computer running a 64 bit version of Windows.

Can't apply transitions to After Effects comps in Premiere Pro

Hi people, newbie Premiere user here (my boss is trying to convert me from FCS) :-) I downloaded the trial version of CS5 and want to learn as much as I can before my initial 30 days is up. My initial experience has been pleasant, but I've come up against an obsticle I could sure use some help with.
1)     Creating my timeline with serveral clips
2)     Exporting certain clips to After Effects; 'Replace with After Effects composition'
3)     Adding my effects
4)     Back in Premiere Pro my clip is replaced by the comp.
5)     Try to apply a simple cross-dissolve across 'Comp 01/Comp 02'
PROBLEM!
Seems the transition will only snap to the start of the second comp. With clips I can drag & drop the effect to span the clips and get perfect results, but not on an After Effects comp.
6)     In Premiere Pro 'Effect controls' change parameter so that the transition centre is at 'cut'
The result indeed spans the clips, but the effect quality is terrible - decent fade from comp 01 to a sudden dip to black before fade-up on comp 02.
Yes, I understand the 'Layers' concept, but I'm not asking the software to do anything nonsensical, just a simple cross-fade across 2 comps.
I really would appreciate any advice anyone can offer, I'd really like to be converted (mainly because if I AM my boss has promised to buy me a licence when my 30 days are up!) :-)
All the best
Steve

To expand a bit on Colin's comments, back in the film days, the concept of Handles was easy to grasp, as the pieces of film were on an A and a B Roll, and the editor had to physically overlap them by the desired amount, so that the lab could print with a Dissolve. The same held for the days of A-B Roll digital editing, where the Clips were again physically overlapped on separate Tracks. Then, digital editors were developed that allowed one to edit with the Clips on a single Track, and where Transitions were applied between them. The Handles were necessary still, but were no longer visually obvious.
These images will tell you a bit more about the concept:
Hope that this helps,

Making new after effects comp question

If i go to file>adobe dynamic link>new after effects comp is there anyway i can make the length of the comp depending on my in and out on the timeline i want or am i forced to have a standard automatic 30 seconds that it makes for me?

What is that suppose to mean? I sent in a request to have this implimented as a feature in the next update, we'll see how that goes. I understand that you can make the duration edit inside the composition setting, but why should i have to do that? Doing this and then relining it up back in premiere wastes time. I should be able to do it based on the In and Out on my timeline.

My oprating system is mac OS 10.6.8 so i cannot install After effects. How can i be repaid?

why not install mavericks? it's free, Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mavericks.
i did it 1.5 weeks ago so i could use cc 2014 apps. it was painless.
or, if you don't want to upgrade, contact adobe support via chat, Contact Customer Care
