My project gets an error message and crashes everytime I go to render or preview on AE

I have recently starting using AE on my computer, every now and then its struggled to work but I haven't had any major issues until now.
When I try to render or preview my project I've had an error message pop up saying:
"After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in "Shatter".
then followed by a second message
"After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message was <6492> <getdepthpinflags> <5> 32:32 bit
and finally
"After Effects can't continue: sorry, After Effects has crashed. See http://www.adobe.com/support/products/aftereffects.html for known issues. If you still can't resolve this issue, please contact Adobe Technical Support (2).
it then asks me to save and crashes.
I think it may be to do with my computer specs as it does struggle at times in other areas on AE
can someone tell me if i need to buy something like a new graphics card or something?
I don't have any knowledge when it comes to computer specs so heres a link to all the specifications for my computer: HP Support document - HP Support Center
please help me! need to have this project finished so if I need to buy something new for the computer i need to buy  it straight away
thanks

How much ram do you have installed? Which OS? Your link to specs provides no details for your system.
What version of AE are you using down to the last decimal point?
We need to know something about your project. The kind of footage used, the size of the comp you are trying to render, the render settings are all critical information.

  • I was forced into an update and now i get constant error messages and crashes I'm missing folders and it doesn't work the same way twice.

    Last week I had a pop up that said I had an update from Thunderbird. It wouldn't take no for an answer and went ahead and did the update. It updated to 12.0.1 which from what I can see is already outdated. Since it did its update it hasn't worked right and I keep getting messages of long running scripts. I have messages running in tabs across the top that I can't get rid of. It takes extra steps to get back to the inbox. I also lost 2 of my folders. I' ran AVG scan and maintenance. Malwarebytes found 2 problems that it quarantined but didn't seem to be associated with T/bird. One folder came back after that. I have another folder that is labeled NSTMP that shows 518MB of use but when I open it there is nothing there. I'm not sure if I picked up something in the last update or not. It seems it tried to do this before and I told it never to update. At this point should I just update to the latest program and see what happens? I can't seem to find a way to transfer all of the folders to a thumb drive without going one message at a time and I'd at least like to back it up. Any thoughts/ideas appreciated. Thanks Doug T

    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.

  • Have downloaded new Lightroom 5.4 from CC. When trying to launch am getting following error message and then Lightroom crashes: "an error occurred when attempting to change modules". Can't find a thread which relates to this error message.

    Hi 99jon,
    Many thanks for that. Had been going through this list yesterday and now again today:
    Ref  Solution 1: Lightroom is at its latest update
    Ref  Solution 2: It's interesting how I cannot find the Preferences file anywhere on my mac. (new mac pro, OS 10/9.2) . . .
    Ref  Solution 3: Lightroom doesn't allow me to do anything after the error message appears
    Ref  Solution 4: don't have any Nik Software plug-ins
    Ref  Solution 5: checked permissions and changed all to "Read & Write" - makes no difference
    Ref  Solution 6: I don't have a different user account on my mac.
    Not sure what else to do.

  • I have just bought an iPhone 5 and it won't sync to iTunes.  It says it needs  iTunes 10.7, which I have downloaded and installed.  I still get the error message and looking at "about iTunes" it says 10.6.3.  What do I do??

    Perhaps check to see if you're accidentally running two different versions of iTunes. There's some information on troubleshooting that in the Opening iTunes section of the following document:

    Then you either have a network problem or a hardware problem or a corrupted hard drive. You might try:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    You can also try downloading from another computer on a different network connection.

    If iTunes is otherwise working properly start with TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, otherwise move on to Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

  • Title tool VideoFrameFactory error message and crashing

    I have located a few mentions of this error among other users, but no Adobe response and no clear solution. In PP CS6, I am now getting a an error message every time I open the title tool: ../../src/VideoFrameFactory.cpp-78. About half the time it also crashes. Frustrated! I am trying to complete a two minute video and this portion is taking hours as I keep needing to open up the title tool related panels and to re-start the computer. Please help if you can.

    I too have been having the same issue for weeks now.
    I'm using Premiere CS6 6.0.3 creative cloud.  VideoFrameFactory.cpp-78
    Whenever I open a title, or make a new title, I receive the error.    Then I can do one of 2 things...
    1.  I can close the title, it will save, and then I can exit Premiere and restart Premiere.  Upon opening a title, I will get the error message again.
    2.  I can open another Title (instead of closing Premiere).  I will then get the same error message (videoframefactory.cpp-8), but then Premiere will crash.  This is 100% occurance rate... If I receive the error, and I dont want premiere to crash, I must exit before opening another title.
    I have seen this posted since 2010.  Any chance of a fix?  I tried various other leads... such as font re-installs, and deleting a WorkspaceConfig file.  No luck with either of these.   Also tried a few iterations of Nvidia drivers, uninstall and reinstalls.
    Any chance of  some assistance?  Has anyone else found a fix?   Every day I use the creative cloud, it feels more and more like I'm paying a monthly fee to be a beta tester...
