Error in After effects while rendering credits: "Disk full"

Here is a picture of the error, it says: Disk full, but this is impossible because I'm rendering it to my 1TB hard drive and I have at least 700 GB left.... What do I have to do now?

but this is impossible because I'm rendering it to my 1TB hard drive and I have at least 700 GB left....
Sure it's possible. Many AVI CoDecs are limited to specific maximum file sizes due to how there internal compression math works. Unless you use another format you won't be able to overcome this.

Can I work on a different project in After Effects while rendering another (AE) project in Media Encoder?

(I'm using the current AE CC 2014)... I've tried twice to start working on a project in After Effects while a DIFFERENT project is rendering in Media Encoder. Both times it (Media Encoder) hung up/crashed. I thought the point of a separate encoder program was so I COULD work on another project in AE at the same time another project was rendering in Media Encoder.
Am I doing something wrong, or do I just have to WAIT for the encoding in Media Encoder to finish before I can do other things in AE?
[I tried searching through help. If I it's there... I just missed it.]
Thanks (in advance) for the help.

You should wait.

Updated document about QuickTime errors with After Effects (re: H.264 and hyperthreading)

I just updated "troubleshooting QuickTime errors with After Effects CS5, CS5.5, and CS6" with information about hyperthreading and Apple's H.264 encoder.
The gist is that Apple's H.264 exporter component for QuickTime fails when the computer has a large number of CPUs.

No, this applies to any QuickTime H.264 export. You can export H.264 in a QuickTime .mov wrapper out of AME, too, and it will have this problem.
The various H.264 encoding presets (for YouTube, Blu-ray, Vimeo, iPad, etc.) don't use the H.264 QuickTime component, so this isn't relevant to them.
This problem is just relevant to choosing Apple's H.264 as the video codec when choosing QuickTime as a format. This applies to all software that uses QuickTime, by the way, not just Adobe software.

qué puedo hacer, cómo lo soluciono, ayuda porfavor
Gracias!!

Bueno, prueba el consejo, casi siempre recomendable actualizar, las aplicaciones y los controladores gráficos que en aplicaciones de video suelen ser la clave.
No aportaste ningun detalle de tu instalación, sistema,... por lo que más dificilmente se te puede ayudar.
El error que de forma parcial comunicabas, te ofrecía dos soluciones:
1. Consultar una página web.
2. Consultar con el soporte técnico de Adobe. Esto, para problemas aleatorios es lo más recomendable.

Photoshop and Dreamweaver trials downloaded fine, and nomatter howmany times I try to redownload After Effects it still will not work. I've tried uninstalling the photoshop and Dreamweaver trials, I've moved the destination folder for the download in many different files (ie: C, Desktop, Users ect.) nothing works.
Please Help.

I even tried the direct download and it has the same error nomatter what folder I try.

Maya .iff (8bits rgba) sequences gives me file format error 1 ( 45::35 ) in after effects while playing, is there a work arround?

i'm on windows 8.1 pro, with a 770gtx that isn't yet recognized for gpu acceleration in after effects cc (last updated version)
i have some iff sequences that are imported whitout any problems, but while i scrub the timeline or sometimes i hit play, i get the photoshop file format error1 (45::35). looks like a performance issue.
is this a plug in error?
I know that in olders versions of photoshop, we used to get in the instalation cd, under goodies a iff.8bi plugin to handle iffs. but on cc, downloaded through acc, i don't have a cd .
anyone have any idea on how to solve this?
Thanks,
Romeu

anyone have any idea on how to solve this?
Don't use IFF?! These issues are well-known and have plagued AE from the day it was born. Seriously, your workflow is simply not the best. IFF simply is not a robust format and a single damaged byte can render files unusable plus over the years Autodesk have hacked around a lot with the format, so it's a veritable mess. You really should not be using it. For the current situation convert it through fcheck or free tools like XnView.

After Effects CS4 Rendering Error

Every time I try to render a small loop I get the error message of :After Effects Error: Creating file "comp1.mov"- Access denied (-5000) (3::3)
can any body help me out here?

What version of AE are you using and on what OS ?
Basically AE cannot write your file because it's already been used by another program. It could be locked by Quicktime, or maybe locked by your antivirus, or Time machine, or Even AE if the file is opened in your project.
It also can be locked because of file/folder permission (even if you are an administrator on Vista for exemple, your software cannot write file to some places without running them in Administrator mode, by rightclicking on them and selecting "run as admin").
Try to close any application that could be using your file, and try to export your file to another directory with another filename.

Optimizing After Effects Performance/ Rendering Speed for large projects

Problem:
My after effects is extremely slow and i want to use an external harddrive to increase the speed temporarily until i can afford to change the internal hard drive. i also have other video production software like Cinema 4D, Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, Cheetah 3D, etc.
Macbook pro with the following specs:
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB (Available space approx 91.GB)
Software OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)
Action:
i have set my Disk Cache to use the 500GB Gtech firewire external hardrive in After Effects Preferences
Issue: After effects still slow
Recommendation From expert: Change Internal Hard Drive to 512 GB SSD HARD DRIVE
Question: How can i optimize After effects with the current hard drive space i have right now?

Thank you. As i stated earlier i am new to after effects and video editing in general so this is a learning process for me. i have also realized that i have soo much going in the layer that i need to clean up and prerender as you said. Also one of the biggest mistake i am making is with the "composed individual lyric effect" i created. As i said earlier, i masked the lyrics to audio spectrum and choose the mp3 song in other to make the effect active, but since i am working on the lyric composition individually i did not crop the yellow bar in the workframe to the exact part of the lyric that applies to the song. hence leaving me with 100+ of words with each having the full length of the song in each individual composition i created in the master layer, in addition to the spin fx effect that i have not prerendered. After effects is trying to render alll these together basically. The extremely slow rendering procesing time arose when i combined all individual lyric effect into the layer while also implementing typography tricks like in the same layer.
Basically, my question is should i reduce the frame work in each lyric composition to the exact section of the song that applies, and will this improve the overall rendering time in the master layer and solve my problem?
Also should i peform my typography skill like position, scaling rotation and so on in the individual layer/composition of the lyric effect i made in order to further save rendering time in the master layer?

After Effects CS5 rendering with 48 cores and 96 GB of RAM

My company is trying to put together some new machines for our render farm. Currently we are considering building a system with 4 12-core CPUs and 96 GB of RAM. Theoretically this would mean that After Effects could render 48 frames simultaneously, but I've never heard of anyone running AE on this many cores. Does anyone have any insight on whether or not this would work well?

What kind(s) of source footage? What format are you rendering and exporting to? Tell us about your hard disk setup (since demands for reading source data and writing output will be high).
Start by extrapolating from the recommendations here. You need to make sure that you're not overscheduling your processors and starving processes of RAM.

But now every time i want to make a RAW PREVIEW on a project composition ... it shows me the following error "After Effects error: Raw Previem needs 2 or more frames to playback".
This is the frist time i had this problem ... i have seached the net, for solutions and the only thing that worked th frist time was to Purge the All Memory and Disc Cache, but now that does not work
Can someone please tell me the solution please ??
Regards ASilva

Lol ... i was ready to send a screen shot an try to reply those answer ... and the damn after effects is working again ... don't ask me why because i don't know.

3- Operating system and Machine i use are on my profile
4- What versions of drivers for your graphics hardware do you have installed (including CUDA driver and driver for display adapter) ?
R: I have the 334.89 graphic controler from Nvidia, and PhysX - 9.13.1220, Virtual Audio 1.2.20 also from Nvidia

R: Do you consider Video Coplilot 3D element and Red Giant Trapcodes effects and MPC Codec pack in this category ... then yes i have.
These last questions i don't understand what you meant by them so i left them
Are you using OpenGL features in After Effects?
Does the problem only happen with your final output, RAM preview, or both?
Are you using Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing?
Are you using the ray-traced 3D renderer?
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?
With Regards ASilva
PS: Tomorrow will see if it gives me the error again

After effects only renders 30 seconds!

HELP! I'm using After Effects CS6 and trying to render an AVI file, but it only renders 30 seconds! No matter where i start the green bar will only go 30 seconds into the file It doesn't give me an error message or anything, it just says "Render Complete" even tho its no where near complete

The other thing that may be going on is that your work area is set to 30 seconds. Check your Render Settings for in and out point.
If that's not it then we need a screenshot of your comp with the properties of the layers revealed (press the u key twice) and also your render settings along with a concise description of your workflow. I've made the only two guesses to the problem that can be made without details.

Why After Effects CC renders only 12 seconds ?

I just got After Effects Creative Cloud and to try it out, I made a 2 minutes long vidéo. When it's time to render it, it will only render 12 seconds and than stop, when I try to render more, the lines passes from green to blue. If somebody knows how to fix this, it would be really nice! By the way I got a Mac Book Pro with the latest version of OS X.

If you mean render then your Output Module Render Settings are set to work area instead of composition length. Go through the basics.
If you mean RAM preview then, depending on the project you will have to lower the resolution of your comp window preview or skip frames. AE is NOT a NLE and will NOT playback long high resolution sequences in real time. You cannot use all system ram for previews. More helps, free memory helps, but you have to learn to work around the limitations.
My normal work flow for an animation is to plan, set up the timing of the animation using markers or other visual cues, set the initial motion keyframes, do a 1/4 or 1/2 rez motion preview, finish the final color grading and effects work checking key points of the animation at full resolution and full screen to verify the shot looks the way I want at just those key points, then I add that comp to the AME cue to render a test while I move on to the next shot or effect. Total amount of time I spend waiting for and looking at full resolution full length shots to RAM preview before rendering is zero minutes. Motion tests and initial animation can happen very quickly and this will give you time to refine the other elements of your 'shot' in a more productive manner. The only longer than a minute projects that I have done completely inside AE are dynamic text animations and most of that kind of animation is just motion so 1/4 rez motion tests are really all you need to do to check timing. Keep motion blur and other effects turned off while you're checking the timing, then turn them on, check a few key frames or a second or two of a transition and move on. You'll get way more done in a day.
For most of my projects a 2 minute comp is extremely long. I suspect that you are trying to create a whole sequence in AE and edit there. AE is for shots. Most shots in movies or commercials are just a few seconds. You should be creating your shots in AE and editing the shots to tell the best story in a NLE. While this sounds like it involves more steps and is just more work to do, in the end, it's a way more efficient way to work.

ERROR Launching - After Effects CS4

Hello all.
This is my colleague getting her new MacPro, Snow Leopard installed
- We updated everything OS
- Installed and updated everything Adobe CS4 suite of production premium software
- Even reset preferences by pressing CommandShiftOption keys while launching AE CS$
Still getting errors of launching its own internal plug-ins, not external. When trying to open a pre-CS4, CS3 project
Anybody any insight to this?
Thanks and cheers

There could be two reasons for this.
1. You're using a trial version. Support for video formats that relies on codecs provided by third parties (all MPEG flavors, including AVCHD and HDV) is not available in the trial.
2. If it's not a trial version, it could be the following issue: If you downloaded the After Effects 9.0 trial, then updated to After Effects 9.0.1, and then activated the application with a serial number after purchasing a license (all in exactly that order), then the After Effects 9.0.2 update will fail to update your third-party content, like the Cycore (CC) effect plug-ins. It appears that uninstalling the third-party content and then restarting the application will cause the updated third-party content to be installed correctly. On windows you'll have an entry in Control Panels/Programs and Features. On the mac, it will be in /Application/Utilities/Adobe Installer.
