I need help with rendering a video.

PC specs: http://gyazo.com/8c5f268350b92762adc1f4229797eba5
Adobe After Effects info: Updated about an hour ago.
Video File info: http://gyazo.com/90a0b66c4dfa99d9d396eb561ac79a49 and http://gyazo.com/74ef689f606792b8a855e6e7d3c45396
Problem: I can't render the effects I added. The render time is over 300 hours.
Details: I got AE yesturday and I imported in a video that I already edited and rendered with Sony Vegas 12. I imported it into AE to add some 3D tracked text for the intro. I added all the text in and I'm ready to render. First try rendering I just get the same exact video I imported, no effects, no text, nothing different. The first render took about 19 minutes. Now the second time I tried changing the format that it would render to. I changed it to h.624 and got told it would take 434 hours to render, I waited about 5 minutes and that time never dropped. I stopped the render, looked online and was told restarting my computer might help. I restarted and tried to render this time in Quicktime, I got about 345 hours this time. Also I was only using 11% of 11.9gb of RAM according to AE.
The video does not have that many effects in it at all. It is simply 3D text tracked to an object for about 7 seconds. I also just need the intro to render so I can put it back together in Vegas 12. Everytime it does render I end up with the same exact video with no effects.
This is what I'm seeing right now: http://gyazo.com/f5fcc73636171c8213451288a507c2ae 14 hours to render a 10 second clip with only some 3D text. about 300 frames.

Thanks for posting the screenshots. It really helps with assessing your problem.
You say "just some 3D text" but I presume this is extruded 3D text using the Ray Traced render option in After Effects.
Unfortunately, your AMD display card does not allow GPU acceleration of After Effects Ray Traced rendering, with the result that you will see ridiculous render times like those you are seeing. The AE Ray Traced render engine is extremely slow without exactly the right display card - see the System Requirements here.
If you are using AE CC you may wish to explore the Cinema 4D integration with AE.
Otherwise, you can fake 3D extrusion by manually building a stack of identical layers in a precomp, or using a script that does the stacking for you.
You can also try third party 3D plugins like Zaxwerks 3D Invigorator, or Video Copilot Element 3D.

Need help with a lyrics video

Ok so I am having a problem with a lyrics video I am making, my very first. I have looked up camera tutorials on youtube and still can not solve the problem. It is very hard for me to explain it in text so I made this short video in which I explain the problem, please if you have the time watch it and maybe you can tell me what is the problem

Your video shows the problem but not much of how you are rigging your camera. I think you have made the camera moves much too complicated. It's always best to think of the AE camera as if it were a real camera on a stage. Think of your 3D layers as actors. If it is easier to move the actors than the camera then move the actors. You have created a very complex 3D set where the camera must fly up and over and around in a large arc. I would have just put a 3D null in the center of the text layers, made it the parent, then animated the null. Any camera moves would have been a simple dolly in and out or a short truck right and left.
If you want to keep the current setup and figure out what is going on with the camera then open up multiple views so you can see what is going on with the camera moves. I've never used SureTarget so I don't know how it functions but I suspect that something like gimbal lock is happening or your orientation is being fouled up because the camera is going over the top and then ending up upside down on the other side of the text layers.

Need help with rendering my files..."preparing video for display."

I don't know if I sent something to the trash folder from Final Cut, but for some reason all of my files in the timeline are unrendered, and every time I render them a message appears saying that it is "preparing video for display," and then they are unrendered again. What is this? Did I send something to the trash folder that keeps doing this? Is it a settings mode? Does it have to do with the space on my drives?

I'm having the same problems.
A friend of mine told me to trash the render files and re-render my whole project. He finds it some times gets rid of some of the glitches when you render along the way in steps.
I trashed the render files and of course the project says I need to re-render which I do. I can save the project, close it, and when it opens I get the "preparing video for display". Once that's done it has nothing rendered at all.
So I re-render, and its fine. I tab to another window and then back and it gives me the same message, completes and all my stuff is un-rendered.
So now I have a project that every time I render it can't save it or somehow it deletes the render files if I tab out of the program.

I need help with exporting 720p video for youtube.

Hi everyone, I have been using Adobe premeir for almost a year now and I love it, as its very professional and powerful. I used to edit Standard with no problem, then export the full unconverted file (wmv) and run it though Windows Movie Maker to compress it (haha yeah I know its crazy.) Now that I got a camera capable of shooting HDV I want to use it. Im just wondering the following:
1.What format should I export with in Adobe Media Encoder? (Original Raw footage files from Camera are MOV formatted)
2.What should I set the Bitrate to?
3.How do I export to flash without it being to large of a file (Under 200mb's for a 5 minute video) and have it not choppy or pixelated?
4.How do I speed up exporting, how many passes should I do?
5.What overall is the best setup for youtube?
I also noticed a small glitch, and its when I export normally (full size, no compression) and run it though a compressor it cuts out all of the titles, and just flashes them for a milisecond. Its really odd. It only happens when I export in a certain format in which I cannot quite remember. Anyways.. thanks in advance for helping me. Its very appreciated.

perform a search using the term export for web and it should throw up some ideas.
here's one for starters:

If you're using flip4mac to convert to wmv, the trial stops at 30 seconds - you need at least wmvstudio to export to wmv:

Need help with an Apple Video Conferencing webcam

I am having a fit trying to get my Performa (6500/225) to work with the hardware I have. Previously I had a Performa 6400/180. I have an Apple Video Conferencing webcam that I was able to make work with OS 9.1. It worked with the original software that came with it and it worked with the software for the Logitech Quickcam (QuickPict setting) I was even able to use it with Ivisit (webcam program). Now that I've had to change the harddrive and reinstall everything, it doesn't work with anything but the original software.
Can anyone tell me what extensions I might need or how to configure it so it will work with what I already have?
Performa 6500/225 Mac OS 9.1.x

Thanks to all who tried to help. As it turned out it was not a problem with the cam. It took some time and some tweaking but I did get it to work. I had a problem with the webchat program iVisit and I was able to get that solved thru their tech support forum.
This Apple Video Conference camera was a great find. I recommend it to anyone who still uses a vintage mac like mine. What a shame it was discontinued.

Need Help With Rendering?

Hello,
I'm brand new to FCE and have already ran into some major roadblocks...
I'm going big for my first project, I'm attempting to make a 2-3 split screen video. I followed the directions for importing as an XML from IMovie and when trying to play my clips back I got the 'unrendered' screen on the canvas, I then rendered everything. But every time I'd be playing it back it would drop and go back to unrendered? I then tried importing my clips as a Quicktime mov, but that did the same and takes about threes times as long to re-render every second it drops on me!
Please help me out here... my computer is strong enough, It's a newer IMac with OS X (10.5.6). I even upgraded my memory when buying FCE?
Thanks in advance!
Howard

Hello and welcome to the forum.
Your media must match your Sequence settings in FCE to avoid constant rendering. Your first order of business is to get your footage info FCE-native format. Then the split screen will be easy.
Open one of your clips in the QuickTime Player. Then look at the Movie Inspector (command/I). What does it say? Now what Easy Setup are you using in FCE?

Please, i need help with burning phone videos

Need help with downloading videos on my Treo680 to my home PC and/or directly to YouTube

Dear Community members,
I have a # of videos saved on my Treo 680, and I Hotsynch my Treo with my home PC regularly. However, for the life of me, I can't figure out:
1. How to watch my Treo videos on my home PC.
2. How do I download my Treo videos directly to YouTube
My service provider is Cingular, now AT&T.
Can someone give me some step-by-step instructions?
Best regards - Nancy
Post relates to: Treo 680 (Cingular)

Hi nchou,
Welcome to the Palm Forums. To watch the videos on your PC, you're going to need Apple QuickTime (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/). This is the only player that has the codec to view these videos.
To find them, simply browse to My Documents -> My Videos -> Palm Videos -> <your hotsync username>
Inside there will be 2 folders, an Internal (for items stored on internal memory) and an Expansion Card (for items stored on your expansion card).
If you have Vista, let me know as the folders are a little different.

I need help with tracking

Ok the video that you can see on my youtube is the one I need help with. The video is actually in 1080p and I have no idea why it is showing in such a low resolution, but that is not the problem. I need to track the gun and add a null to that track, after that I want to add a red solid layer and bring down its opacity a little, to simulate a laser sight from the gun.Then I tried to parent and SHIFT parent the red solid to the track, the end product would have to look like what you can see in the picture. I have watched a TON of videos about tracking and just can not the the result I need. the laser needs to follow the gun as I aim up and bring the gun down. How should I do this.......? Please someone help or link me a tutorial that will be helpful.....

You have a couple of problems. First you don't need to use shift parent, just parent. Second, your red solid is a 3D layer and you have applied 2D tracking info to the solid. Actually, there's another mistake and it is in the tracking. You should also be tracking scale because the gun moves from left to right as well as up and down. This changes the distance between the front and back tracking points.
My workflow with this project would be:
Track Motion of the front and back of the gun including position, scale and rotation
Apply the track info to a null called GunTrack or something like that
Add a solid and apply the beam effect or mask the red solid to simulate the shape of a laser sight
Change the blend mode of the solid to ADD
Move the anchor point to the center of the starting point of the laser
Parent the solid to the Gun Track null
That should do it.

Need help with coding for HTML5 Video with Flash fallback

Hello, need help with my coding in Dreamweaver CS5.5 for HTML5 video with Flash fallback. Not sure if the coding is correct. Do I need anything else Javascipt etc?

The reason you see a blank page is because it's trying to load the file that is pretty humungous and there is no preloader. So, you see a white screen till it complets loading.
Also, the reason why its loading a SWF file and not any of HTML5 type video is because your doctype declaration is XHTML1.0 and not HTML5.
Change the 1st line in your .html file from:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
to:
<!DOCTYPE html>
Then see if your HTML5 video types load with <video> tag.

Please I really need help with this video problem.

Hi!
Please I need help with this app I am trying to make for an Android cellphone and I've been struggling with this for a couple of months.
I have a main flash file (video player.fla) that will load external swf files. This is the main screen.When I click the Sets Anteriores button I want to open another swf file called sets.swf.The app is freezing when I click Sets Anteriores button
Here is the code for this fla file.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
preloaderBar.visible = false;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
btHome.enabled = false;
var filme : String = "";
carregaFilme("home.swf");
function carregaFilme(filme : String ) :void
var reqMovie:URLRequest = new URLRequest(filme);
loader.load(reqMovie);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.OPEN,comeco);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,progresso);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completo);
palco.addChild(loader);
function comeco(event:Event):void
          preloaderBar.visible = true;
          preloaderBar.barra.scaleX = 0;
function progresso(e:ProgressEvent):void
          var perc:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;
          preloaderBar.percent.text = Math.ceil(perc*100).toString();
          preloaderBar.barra.scaleX = perc;
function completo(e:Event):void
          preloaderBar.percent.text = '';
          preloaderBar.visible = false;
btHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onHomeDown);
btHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,onHomeUp);
btSets.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onSetsDown);
btSets.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,onSetsUp);
btVivo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onVivoDown);
btVivo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,onVivoUp);
btHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onHomeClick);
btSets.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onSetsClick);
function onSetsClick(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          if (filme != "sets.swf")
                      filme = "sets.swf";
                      carregaFilme("sets.swf");
function onHomeClick(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          if (filme != "home.swf")
                      filme = "home.swf";
                      carregaFilme("home.swf");
function onHomeDown(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          btHome.y += 1;
function onHomeUp(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          btHome.y -= 1;
function onSetsDown(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          btSets.y += 1;
function onSetsUp(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          btSets.y -= 1;
function onVivoDown(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          btVivo.y += 1;
function onVivoUp(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          btVivo.y -= 1;
Now this is the sets.fla file:
Here is the code for sets.fla
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
var video:Video;
var nc:NetConnection;
var ns:NetStream;
var t : Timer = new Timer(1000,0);
var meta:Object = new Object();
this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE,init);
function init(e:Event):void{
video= new Video(320, 240);
addChild(video);
video.x = 80;
video.y = 100;
nc= new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
ns = new NetStream(nc);
ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onStatusEvent);
ns.bufferTime = 1;
ns.client = meta;
video.attachNetStream(ns);
ns.play("http://www.djchambinho.com/videos/segundaquinta.flv");
ns.pause();
t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,timeHandler);
t.start();
function onStatusEvent(stat:Object):void
          trace(stat.info.code);
meta.onMetaData = function(meta:Object)
          trace(meta.duration);
function timeHandler(event : TimerEvent) : void
if (ns.bytesLoaded>0&&ns.bytesLoaded == ns.bytesTotal )
            ns.resume();
            t.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,timeHandler);
            t.stop();
The problem is when I test it on my computer it works but when I upload it to my phone it freezes when I click Sets Anteriores button.
Please help me with this problem I dont know what else to do.
thank you

My first guess is you're simply generating an error. You'll always want to load this on your device in quick debugging over USB so you can see any errors you're generating.
Outside that, if you plan on accessing anything inside the SWF you should be loading the SWF into the correct context. Relevant sample code:
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
context.securityDomain = SecurityDomain.currentDomain;
context.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.[your_domain_here].com/library.swf");
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
ldr.load(urlReq, context);

If you're doing this on iOS you'll need to stripped SWFs if you plan on using any coding (ABC) inside the files. You mentioned iOS so I won't get into that here, but just incase, here's info on stripping external SWFs:
