Output Module 2.1 Failed to install

Use Bridge CS4 to update.
Always worked in the past.
1 Item refuses to install with the message:
Output Module 2.1 Failed to install
All Adobe Apps are shutdown prior to download/install operation as verified with task manager.
Seen a similat discussion in the past, but not exactly the same set of conditions.
Any hints?
Thanks,
Hugh

You said you tried via Bridge .
How about downloading the update from here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4228
to the desktop and running it from there.
I avoid the Adobe updater like the plague!

2 error messages - failed to install extention 2.1 and output module 2.1

I just tried to update my Encore CS4 from the Master Suite. I have two error messages " failed to install extention Mgr. CS4 2.1 and failed to install output module update 2.1
Encore will load a new project and save but I can't do anything else like add files before it crashes. Any help please. - Art

This might not apply with En CS4, but there were some issues on install, and on updates in Photoshop. It seems that MS had a bum MSI (Installer) version, and it caused a lot of PS installs and updates to fail. Do not recall any specific error messages. The cure there was to download and install the revised MSI module from the MS site. I would imagine that any MSI module would be heavily Windows version-specific. Take that as a warning to check any very carefully, before downloading and installing. MS is pretty good at having a ReadMe with installation instructions for each such download. It almost always contains the exact versions of Windows, that the file is for. Please read any installation instructions carefully.
This might be worth a look. I do not have a link to the exact page, but a search of the MS site should yield something. I'd search for "MSI," to start.
I just do not recall any issues with En and either installation (on proper systems with updated OS's) or with any updates.
Good luck, and please report your success.

An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted.

Whenever I try to render something in After Effects CC 13.1.1, an error message pops up, saying "After Effects error: Rendering error while writing to file '[not going to disclose]' An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted (-1610153464)."
Screenshot of the error message:
I tried reinstalling QuickTime (7), repaired it, updated After Effects to the latest version(as I am writing this), checked firewall software, and used other formats such as AVI.
Adobe Media Encoder (CC 2014-latest version) won't work with me, either.
I sent the composition to Adobe Media Encoder, and this is what I got, no progress here.
Screenshot:
It took a while to connect to the dynamic link server, and failed.
This is a log of what has happened in Adobe Media Encoder.

EDIT(11/23/2014 8:31PM PST): For some reason, other projects work for me just fine. I am not sure why it is not working on one project.
Screenshot of a new project other than this I am rendering at the time of writing this edit:

Can other projects can output to the same output location? Yes
Can other projects render with the same render settings (codec, format, etc.)? Yes.
If you create a new composition and just add a solid layer to it with no effects in the same project does it render? No. I still get the error.
Can you render that brand new comp with the same render settings, output settings, output location etc.? Yes.
If so, what effects are present in the offending comp? Twixtor Pro in all the cinematics/clips, Motion Tile and Transform for pan/crop & wiggle, Magic Bullet Looks and Bad TV Warping preset with just Wave Warp & Venetian Blinds for color correction, Gradient Ramp for text, Bad TV Warping preset with everything for effect, Transform for fade in/out, and ReelSmart Motion Blur v4.1.2 for motion blur.
Also, what scripts are you using? Just the Move Anchor Point script I found from one of Mt. Mograph's videos, Summit 16 - 2.5D Minecraft Steve - After Effects - YouTube.
Have you ever installed any third-party codec packs? (I've heard of some codec packs causing weird issues like this.) Yes, (not everything I have, just everything I can think of and find) I have K-Lite codec pack, Fraps, x264vfw, and Xvid MPEG-4 codec.

"...an Output Module failed" error screen...

Greetings AE Peeps!!
Long time - no see - been stupid busy. My Studio has just ponied up and upgraded our 5 Edit Stations to AE CS5. I personally am a huge advocate of not upgrading software while in the middle of a project, but this was out of my control. I am having a lot of crashing (app just quits for no reason while scrubbing) and other weirdness...like today. I am rendering a 3 minute piece in ProRes 4:2:2 (1280x720p) to my RAID (no special plug-ins or anything) and I get the following error at the very end of every render:
After Effects Error: Rendering error while writing to file (insert my RAID path here). An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted (-1610153464)
I have never in 11 years got a "failed Output Module error". Can anyone speak to this and tell me how to get rid of it short of reinstalling AE?
Grazie! Ciao!
Joey

First, make sure that you've installed the After Effects CS5 (10.0.1) update.
Regarding the output module failure: It may be that this is because you have an output module created in a previous version of After Effects that refers to a codec or set of settings that isn't working in After Effects CS5. The best thing to do is to remove the output modules from the render items and then rebuild them in After Effects CS5. That may sound tedious, but you only need to do it once, and then you can save output module templates that you know work with After Effects CS5.
As Mylenium suggested, there are some challenges associated with the fact that there is no 64-bit QuickTime, so we had to create our own 32-bit-to-64-bit QuickTime conversion layer (QT32 Server). QuickTime does work with After Effects CS5, but there are some hiccups in some cases on first use.
If this doesn't help, answer back and we'll help you through.
Oh, this might be useful, too:

Output module failed

I know there are more posted about this problem bust still havent found a solution.
I can only render out one movie from AE (CC 12.2.1.5). If I want to render a second movie I get ""[file path and name].mov”. An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464)"
I've deleted DVCPROHDVideoOutput.component as read on a help file (http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2013/08/solutions-for-problems-with-quicktime-files-in -after-effects-cc-12-0-because-of-conflict-with-dvcprohdvideoout-quicktime-component.html) but dit didn't fix it.
A restart of OSX (10.9.2) fix it for one render and then I got the same problem again. I render to DXV codec (rgb+alpha) (http://resolume.com/software/codec)
What do I do to fix this? Because rebooting is taking to much time
thx Joost

Have you installed any third-party codec packs (such as K-lite)? I've seen them cause this sort of issue in the past.
Have you tried it in AE 13.1 or 13.0?

AE CC Render error output module failed

Hi, I tried my best to find this answer on the forums but couldn't find anything current.
I have isolated two issues in AE CC where I can duplicate a failed render with this message:
After Effects error: Rendering error while writing file "xxx". An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464)
This happens when opening an AE CS6 project and trying to render a simple comp with only one text layer and a moving mask. It also just happened after my first round trip test with Cinema 4D. I could RAM preview the c4d layer but the output to Quicktime h.264 failed.
I have even tried a full reinstall of AE CC. I have the basic FxFactory Pro plugins and MagicBullet Looks installed, but neither are being used since this is a single 1280x720 comp with a single C4D layer. Plus like I said it failed with the same error in past CS6 files.
I don't know how to force disable a plugin to test that, but I can't see how an unused plugin could cause a render to fail like this.
I'm on a new (late 2012) 27" iMac
3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
8GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX with 2GB VRAM
OS X 10.8.4
AE CC 12.0.0.404
CUDA driver 5.0.59
Thanks for any suggestions!

Olaf, did you read my reply where I explained my solution? First you should try the steps outlined in the article Todd references:
http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2011/02/troubleshooting-quicktime- errors-with-after-effects.html
There seems to be a good way to isolate if it's the same issue I had, though. Let me go into a bit of depth for you.
The trick was to launch the OS X app called Console, located in Applications > Utilities. It is a program that compiles and displays the system logs in real time. It's great to see the little things happening in the system that don't make it into the user interface. When I had my Console up and generated that same error you're having, I noticed this error in the log:
The key here is the Adobe QT32 Server, which is mentioned in the TCP part of the article I linked to above from Todd. In my case at least, what was happening was that a third party app called AirServer was talking to the system's QuickTime over the same TCP ports the QT32 Server engine was trying, and it resulted in Adobe QT32 Server crashing, and that alert being thrown up in AfterEffects.
If you're in the same boat, it means you have some sort of app or system extension that is also talking to QuickTime over TCP. That may not make any sense, but the easy thing to do is quit ALL third party apps, then quit AE, then restart AE.
In my situation if AE gave me the error and then I quit AirServer, the error still happened because Adobe QT32 had already crashed. You have to relaunch AE after closing the offending third party app.
To be sure you've quit all third party apps, open Activity Monitor (Applications > Utilities), chose "My Processes" from the dropdown menu, and scan through the list to make sure. You don't have to recognize all the processes there, but you should be able to recognize any third party ones you put there.
Hope that helps!
Matt

Output module failed 1610153464

I am running CS5 on a Mac 10.6.6. I have both QTX and QT 7.6.6 installed
Every time I render, it gives the following error message:
An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464)
I've tested the files on a different machine and they open and render out fine.
I'm having these issues and I don't have any plugins installed.
Re-Installed everything multiple times, trashed preferences, removed plugins from the Application support and still no luck.
The only thing that works for me is outputting to a PNG or JPEG sequence.
If I try to render using the Animation preset, It gives the error message.
I also have been getting a weird "MooV" error message when I try to import certain types of quicktime files. Not all just a few random ones.
All of this leads me to believe it is a Quicktime issue.
Please can you help. Other than doing a complete clean operating install, which i am doubting will work.
Robin Souter

hey todd,
good thinking, I was just trying the very same thing. alas when I try to open my AE project in Media Encoder I get the message
"Could not connect to Adobe After Effects. Please verify that Adobe After Effects and Adobe Dynamic Link components are installed."
I'm scratching my head, this also worked yesterday.
Could it be anything to do with de-activation? I have cs5 installed on my workstation in my studio.
I also have it installed on my laptop at home. do I need to contact Adobe each time I want to use 1 machine or the other?
Also ever since installing cs5 on my laptop I get the following message each time I launch After Effects (dont know if its connected as I normally just click ok and use AE as normal)
"Runtime Error! This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information"
or maybe I didn't run the adobe uninstaller cleaner utility to get rid of traces of old versions, before installing cs5 to my laptop
thanks

After Effects Error: rendering error while writing to file...Output Module failed - 1610153646

Hi – I’m currently working with someone who is running After Effects 5.5v10.5.0.253 on a PC which is running Windows 7 Ultimate. The computer has just recently been built and the software is newly installed. (ie. a couple of weeks old, max). Up until now, we have been using After Effects with no real issues. But tonight, we started to see the following error message, when trying to render something out:
“After Effects Error: rendering error while writing to file xxxxx. Output Module failed, the file may be damaged or corrupted -1610153646” – displayed during render, which meant the render failed.”
We started to review forums to see if we could come up with a fix and tried a few of the more common suggested solutions, including:
Make sure there are no third-party plug-ins or Windows incompatible elements installed - as it’s a pretty new install, we haven’t added anything except out-of-the box elements.
Clear the render queue – did this, no change.
Reinstall Quicktime – did this, no change.
Reinstall Creative Suite – also no change.
Check the default program to open .mov files is Quicktime – Quicktime was already the default.
A bit more detail about the machine...
Ram is 32gb
GPU is GeForce GTX 660ti
250gb soild states
2tb raid drive
Any help would be much appreciated. This is now happening on all AE files, even files that worked fine earlier in the week. Other than the AE and QT reinstalls mentioned above, nothing new has been added to the machine this week. On a deadline – so a quick response would be amazing, right about now. Thanks.

Hi Mylenium- thx for the quick response. We have have tried a bunch of different settings. AVIs work and we can do image sequences too. The only major problem seems to be with Quicktime files. While I appreciate your suggetion to convert with AME - this is only a workaround. Was really hoping for a solution that will fix the problem in After Effects? Heard rumor from a few friends in the biz, that this is a major bug... if possible, some feedback from Adobe product devs or someone with a technical background would be great! Thx.

Bridge Help / Install Adobe Output Module is Not working

New computer so switched to the Maverick OS and moved my CS6 over. Lost my Output Module in Bridge. Went through the all of the resets and downloads recommended by Adobe and I still have not had any success in getting the module back. Would prefer not to reinstall. Any ideas

What do you mean by "moved 'my' CS6 over" ? ???
Always install applications from scratch, from the original media. No exceptions, ever.
"Migrating", "transferring", Copying, "moving", etc., are GUARANTEED to bring you nothing but grief.

Want to install Output Module in Adobe Bridge CC on Mac OS X, Version 10.9.2, but in my Library hierarchy there is no folder "Adobe Bridge CC Extensions". Where install downloaded files?

Hello,
Unfortunately, the output module is not pre-installed in Adobe Bridge CC anymore. So I downloaded the files provided. These are supposed to be saved in the following folder: "Bridge CC Extensions". This is supposed to be under Library > Application Support > Adobe > Bridge CC. However, there is no such folder. Do I have to create it?
Thank you for a hint on what to do.
Best,
Heike

Thank you for a hint on what to do.
Check this thread and read the instructions of the download carefully. You have two libraries, one at system level and one at user level.

Adobe Output Module install on MacBook Pro running OS X

I have tried to install the Adobe Output Module but it is not working. I see the "Output" option in Bridge but when clicked nothing happens. I followed the instructions provided with the download. I think my issue might be where i am placing the "Adobe Output Module" folder. In my Library/Application Support/Adobe/ file path I have a "Bridge CC" folder but not a "Bridge CC Extensions" folder. I am on a MacBook Pro running OS X (10.9.4). Do i need to create a "Bridge CC Extensions" folder in that file path and place the module folder there?

Also check

Multiple output modules cause render to fail?

Is anybody else having trouble with using multiple output modules in after effects? Let me elaborate: so I'm working on a 3d film, and my worflow is to simply work with the footage side by side in a single comp (we're at HD, so the comp size is 3840x1080). Very often, I need to fire off a quick render to show to the director. Most of the time, I just do the left eye by cropping to that 1920x1080 area in the output module. Other times I need to deliver both eyes, so instead of cropping to 1920x1080, I resize the frame in the output module to 1920x1080. Yea, we lose half of our horizontal resolution, but that's not such a big deal for us when just working on approvals.
Here's the thing: sometimes I like to export multiple variations of this at once (ie one output module for the left eye, one for the right eye, and another for the squished side-by-side left-right video). Whenever I try to output multiple modules with quicktime, it fails. Every time.
When it fails, I get two messages: the first (a warning) says "After Effects warning: last frame was written to one or more output modules, but not all! ( 26 :: 153 )"
The second message (an error) shows up once for each output module: "After Effects error: Rendering error while writing to file "C:\blahh blah blah\whereIputmyfiles\the_render.mov". An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464)." Once it fails, I cannot output to quicktime AT ALL (multiple output modules, or not) without restarting After Effects.
I tried outputting multiple modules as a PNG sequence... and that worked just fine (if "slow as hell" can ever be called "fine" .... but it worked! )
I tried outputting to the multiple formats I wanted with one output module per render item (rather than having one render item with multiple modules) as quicktime, and that worked just fine (of course... it takes N times as long though... for N number of outputs).
I am on Windows 7 64-bit... running After Effects CC 2014... I never had this trouble back when I was working on the CC version (the not 2014 cc version... that is too confusing...). However, I just went back and tried it with the older version, and it no longer works there either! What gives?
When outputting quicktime, I'm using the h.264 codec.
And before anybody suggests it, no I can't just use AME because that can't resize video (it forces you to keep the aspect ratio through letterboxing) or crop video.

>The most likely culprit is the h.264 Quicktime. It should have never been included as an option. It doesn't even work well in Quicktime Pro or in Final Cut...
I'll come to Apple's (partial) defense here:
Their H.264 codec was written and released at a time when it was difficult to imagine that mainstream computers would have as many CPUs as they do now, so it's somewhat understandable that the severe failures that this codec has with large numbers of threads occurs. Of course, we may all wish that Apple hadn't decided to end development on the QuickTime platform, since this has meant that bugs like this are likely to persist.
That said, this is why we increasingly recommend that people use other H.264 codecs and not use QuickTime for such things. See the H.264 options currently in Adobe Media Encoder.
