After Effects CS3 - error: could not create 8935 x 9152 image buffer + slow

Hello. I am receiving this error message every time i try render my 3min composition. it gets about 1/5 way through which takes about an hour. i have read the General Specialist troubleshooting guide and it has not helped yet.
i am now rendering with Image Cache: Maximum RAM Cache Size at 10% and purging after every 20 frames (in secret prefs) - even if this works, the 3min render is estimated to finish in 9hrs. Does this sound normal, or acceptable? Is it possible i have a hardware deficiency? or something else lacking.
My PC specs are: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.40GHz; 4GB RAM; Geforce 8800 GTS. Running XP 32bit SP3; After Effects CS3 (fully updated). I have updated my graphics card driver (180.48) and my mainboard chipset driver. My memory settings are as they appear in the http://generalspecialist.com/2006/11/avoiding-after-effects-error-could-not.asp guide, & I've dropped max RAM cache to 10%. My disk cache size is 10000MB and set to an empty 75GB 10000RPM Raptor HDD.
The composition has 30 layers - mainly layers imported from PSDs and then animated with basic transform tools and some distortion effects (wave warp) to create 2D character animation. There are 6 pre-composed layers containing the same kind of PSD layers and animation. I try to render out to an uncompressed .avi in 720x576 with 15fps.
Even before I noticed this rendering problem, After Effects runs painfully slowly. the composition monitor takes ages to refresh, even in the Quarter quality view mode i am forced to work in. and over the course of the day, on 3 occasions - the PC lagged after scrubbing through the timeline, froze, then Blue Screen of Death'ed before rebooting before i could even read the blue screen error.
Please offer some assistance or ideas as to how i can move forward. I have tried to help myself with existing material online, but to no avail.
Thanks,
Nick.

>Does this sound normal, or acceptable?
It sounds normal within the realm of AE, but how acceptable it really is, is another matter entirely. ;-) As suggested, scaling the sources in PS would be one way, another one would be to chop up the large documents into manual tiles and parent them together. Based on how AE works, only tiles visible within the comp frame will be loaded, which should make the whole process more streamlined. That's assuming they are not 3D layers that need to be fully visible at any given point, of course. Even then, rendering to an image sequence is still advisable in case of crashes... Depending on what you actually do, you may also want to find a different way of dealing with your distortion effects. They considerably expand/ dilate image buffers for processing, complicating the matter further.

After Effects CS3 error: file not found -43 and TIFFIO failed to open the file

Hello
I am experiencing a problem with AE CS3.
I have several TIFF sequences (with alphas) that are giving me a headache. When I import them into AE, I get an "AEGP Plugin TIFFIO: Failed to open the file" error.
I researched the forums and found that this could be related to odd formatting of the source media (my TIFF sequence). I created these TIFFs in Maya 2008 and I have imported other sequences made with Maya into AE with no issues.
Just to be sure, I created a Photoshop droplet that re-saved my TIFFs as Photoshop TIFFs with the same names.
I re-imported the new Photoshop TIFF sequences (still with alphas) into AE CS3, and I get the same error.
Any ideas? I don't know what to do next.
Thanks,
-------------S

Your USB drive may have had a weird character in it's name.
AE can't read CMYK images, that is usually the problem.
Imported images do not have to conform to any specific sizes (unless you want to go over 30,000 x 30,000 pixels.)

After Effects CS3 Not Starting

I installed After Effects CS3 on my mac running snow leopard 10.6.4 I also installed the update for After Effects. However it will not run, everything is activated and Adobe says the activation is fine. However the discontinued phone support for CS3. What happens is the program will launch and show up in the dock but before the splash screen even launches the software will just crash and shut down. I seem to remember this was an issue when i installed this on my desktop but for the life of me I cannot remember what I did to fix the issue.

Here's a page that gives some information about issues with After Effects CS3 and CS4 on Snow Leopard:

Adobe After Effects CS3 won't install

I have windows XP, and I used to have my version of Adobe After Effects CS3 installed. Then I uninstalled it because it kept crashing, but I forgot to deactivate it before I uninstalled it. Now every time I've tried reinstalling it, the installation goes completely fine until the last step, when it says:
Summary:
Successfully installed: 3 component(s):
Adobe After Effects CS3 Template Projects and Footage
Adobe After Effects CS3 Third Party Content
Shared Components
Errors: 2 component(s):
Adobe After Effects CS3
Component install failed
Shared components
component install failed
I don't know how to fix this! I've tried multiple times at reinstalling it but each time without success. I've also ran the installation as administrator, and I've restarted my computer. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks a lot!

Did you correctly uninstall the software? Are there other Adobe programs on the system? Sounds like there are other, newer versions that throw off the install. You need to uninstall those and reinstall them after you have installed CS3. Also simply delete the caps.db in C:\Program Files\Common Fiels\Adobe\caps. And for further diagnosis it might help to have a look at the install logs.

[problem]Error "sfntread library error (83::4)" when you start After Effects CS3 (Windows)

Hello,
I am experiencing the above stated problem in the subject. I downloaded the trial version off the website. But when starting the program, i got the error:
Error "sfntread library error (83::4)" when I start After Effects CS3
I tried looking at resolving it through the help posted in the support site.
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402858&sliceId=2
Apparently, the value which was asked to change, it was already set to "0"
Is there not anything else I can do?

Well, I have no more detailed info for you, but if this error (and other, similar ones) pops up, it is usually a good idea to take a look at your shared Adobe components and other Adobe programs. The error itself seems related to the Adobe font system and/or generic vector rasterization engine such as it is also used by Acrobat and various import/ export filters. Therefore a good place to start is to remove any fonts on the system that you don't need. The engine may simply be trying to load them and then fails because they are damged or have some otehr ominous info. If that fails, look into what otehr apps you have on the system. Run the Adobe Updater to make sure you have all the latest versions. If it still does not work think about uninstalling the products. I know it's a pain, but it may get AE to function. As a helper, use the CS3 Clean scripts from the support pages. These will work a little faste and really kill everything (compared to a normal uninstall), Just make sure to deactivate before uninstalling, or you may run into trouble when trying to reactivate.

After Installing after effects I get a Runtime Error Pure Virtual Function Call

I installed After Effects, the trial, onto my pc which meets all the requirments, and I keep getting a runtime error. I have reinstalled windows, i have used several registry programs and still nothign. Please help!

onto my pc which meets all the requirments
Well, if you are so sure, then why don't you tell us in more detail what PC it actually is? If you have re-installed the operating system and all and AE still doesn't run, then most likely your PC does not meet the requirements or at least uses some strange hardware/ software combination that is not compatible with AE... What operating system? Processor? Graphics card? Other components?
