Rendering Error from Cinema 4d Lite

While trying to render a scene in after effects that i created in cinema 4d of a bar (bear in mind, bars have lots of transparent glass and liquids in them) i get the 'unable to write file' render error. in cinema 4d lite, in my render settings, when i turn off transparency, refraction, reflection, and shadows, the render works. what should i do in order to render in after effects and keep all of my transparency, refraction, reflection, and shadow detail?

REnder to an image sequence. Your Quicktime connection is simply timing out because it takes too long to render a frame. No serious 3D artist would ever render to clip formats directly, anyway.

What does rendering error -50 mean? I'm trying to export to apple device from FC Pro

What does "rendering error -50" mean? I'm trying to export to an apple device (Itunes) and I've done it this way before but now I just get the error message. I'm not very technically savvy.

I had a bunch of video clips which I took on a point and shoot camera. They had been uploaded along with photos to Aperture, but putting the SD card directly into my computer. Every year I take all the clips, edit out the junk, and make a DVD for the kids and grandkids to enjoy. When in final cut, I just clicked on the camera to import from Aperture.
I also make DVD's though out the year of special events, using these same type of video clips taken with the point and shoot. I sometimes do slow motion set to music, etc. I have not had a problem before. And all the bad files came from one trip in October. All the files after it were fine as well. I'm not sure what I did differently for that trip.
The little video clips say DSCN1783 (or some other file number) and are 1920x1080. I try to "share" my project to a Master File on an external drive.

Is Cinema 4D Lite R14 limited to 800 x 600 render resolution even after activation/registration?

I created a new Cinema 4D scene from within After Effects and discovered that I couldn't make the output resolution larger than 800 x 600. In the rende settings window I get the message:
"Image Resolution: 800 x 600 Pixel - Application license limit of 800x600 pixel"
I realized I hadn't activated/registered yet, so I completed that process but I still get the limitation.
I tried:
Closing C4D and AE, restarting, opening the original .c4d I created before I registered;
Restarting the computer, then reopening the original .c4d in After Effects;
Deleting the original .c4d and creating a new one from After Effects
I still get the output resolution limitation.
I searched for documentation about the limit but didn't find any that referred to C4D Lite, only other demo versions (which had a smaller limit).
Is that a hard limit for C4D Lite R14? Or should I keep banging my head against it?
I tried contacting Maxon from the support email form on their site, but it rejects my serial number (the form asks for the first 11 digits, which includes a hyphen. I tried with the hyphen and it was rejected, I removed the hyphen and aded the next digit to total 11 and it rejected it... it
's like they don't want to hear from me. There's also no selection for the "Lite" version of the program.)

You can't render larger from C4D Lite, but your AE comp (with the C4D scene) should be able to be whatever size you want. AE renders your C4D scene; you don't render from C4D.

Where is the render queue in Cinema 4D Lite? My menu doesn't show it

I'm having a problem rendering a short animation from Cinema 4D. I began the project in a computer lab, where there's the obvious Render Queue setting under the Render menu drop-down. My problem is I'm now working at home with my CC downloaded version and there's no Render Queue setting. Additionally, when I check the render settings, there's no filetype or filename specification for rendering. Attached are screen shots.
How do I set a filename so I can render and save my short animation?

So I figured out my own problem. For anyone else who might happen upon this thread, hope this helps.
At the lab they must have C4D Full (or whatever the full version is called), and at home thru CC I only have Lite. That's why there's no render queue and no ability to set a filename or filetype within C4D.
The workflow I had to do is import the C4D file into an After Effects comp, and then the Cineware rendering options show up in the effects window. Last word of advice is if you need to render out an object buffer to be used as an alpha mask, make sure you select "Standard (Final)" or "Standard (Draft)" under the Renderer dropdown.

Cinema 4d Lite won't open on Mac

Anyone else having this issue? From After Effects CC. It's never started up, and closes as soon as I try to open it.

I'm also having this same issue. It has never launched for me either and I started trying about 2 months ago and have been updating regularly and checking to see if a fix was applied but it still fails to launch.
What version of After Effects? Include the minor version number (e.g., After Effects CS5.5 with the 10.5.1 update). Don't just say "After Effects with the latest updates"; give the specific version number. 12.0.0404
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.) Yes
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac". 10.8.4
Tell us about your computer hardware. Include CPU type and number of processor cores, amount of RAM installed, GPU, number of disk drives, and how any external drives are connected. Macbook Retina, 2.8 GHz i7, 16GB 1600MHz DDR3, 500GB SATA HDD, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
Do you have any third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU)? No
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime". N/A
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?N/A
What were you doing when the problem occurred? Trying to launch the program, with all other programs closed. Also tried w/ AE running.
Has this ever worked before? If this worked before by doesn't work now, what has changed on your computer in the intervening time? No
Do you have QuickTime installed. (You should.) If so, what version? The answer should be specific, such as "QuickTime 7.6.2". Quicktime Player 10.2
What other software are you running? None
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed? No
Are you using OpenGL features in After Effects? N/A
Does the problem only happen with your final output, RAM preview, or both? N/A
Are you using Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing? N/A
What is the exact sequence of steps that you are taking? Open Finder, Select "Applications", Drill down through AE folder to Cinema 4D Lite application and doubleclick. Icon pops/bounces on task bar for a moment then goes away.

Does Cinema 4D Lite support importing FBX files?

I've tried every FBX file I could, I've exported FBX files using every version of FBX available to me (2010, 2012, 2013, 2014) but every time I try to import an FBX file into Cinema 4D Lite (launched from AE CC, everything updated and current) I get a dialog with some options, then a second dialog with information about the available takes and animation length (which is must get from the file) and then I get an error message "Unable to read file <filename>". Doesn't seem to matter what FBX I choose. Every FBX file is readable by Autodesk's FBX Review app so I don't think it's the file(s). Maxon's website seems to indicate that importing FBX was supported by the Lite version of Cinema 4D included with AE CC, but near as I can tell that's not true. Am I missing something? Is there some option I need to check or a specific way I should create an FBX file? I'm running on Windows 7 64bit with current drivers and everything is updated. I get the feeling this just doesn't work at all by design.

I've tried FBX files created from Motionbuilder 7, DAZ Studio, Lightwave 11.6 and some purchased FBX files (that I think were made in 3DS Max). If the FBX file has anything complex Cinema 4D Lite will give the cryptic read error. It definitely seems to come down to what is in the file. If I put almost nothing into the file (simple textured obj) I have gotten it to read into Cinema 4D. But some even fairly simple primitives will cause the error. It's not so much the version of FBX file format but what is in it. Having the ability to use FBX as a 3D file format in After Effects is very appealing, but Cinema 4D Lite doesn't appear to be a solution to that. Perhaps the full version of Cinema 4D can read a wider range of FBX files, since the read error is definitely related to the content and not just the FBX version, but the Lite version errors out on pretty much anything worth reading.

Cinema 4D Lite wont render in After Effects?

I'm a beginner with After Effects and while trying to use Cinema 4D Lite I came back to After Effects and made a new Composition with the .c4d file. All that showed up in my composition was black, and if I scrubbed through nothing showed up and it stayed the same. When I tried rendering it gave me "After Effects error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback."
I'm not very tech savvy, so if someone would kindly help fix the problem in a simple manner that would be awesome!

We can't help without more info. FAQ: What information should I provide when asking questions on this forum?

Although, if you're a beginner, you shouldn't be messing with C4D yet, you should start here: Getting started with After Effects

Macbook Pro dark screen after disconnecting from Cinema Display

Dear all,
the issue I am having:
- after disconnecting from Cinema display (having first put my Macbook Pro in "sleep" mode) I just ca't make the Macbook pro scren show anything....black display
- but is it really asleep? NO!!! It just STILL believes it's connected to the Cinema Display
That's what I though was happening, so I thought: "if I now plug in the thunderbolt-to-VGA dongle that I use for the videoprojector then the screen might come back... and.... Voilá! It comes back, BUT starts flickering until in the end it just dissappears....
I can reproduce the error all the time. Worse than that: a reboot does not help at all.
Looks like there is an internal hardware switch that must be left "engaged" and then the Mac just believes it is connected to an External screen and sends the signal though the thuderbolt port instead of through the screen!!!
WEIRD error/bug or whatever!!
I have no idea how to make this reach the Apple guys.... I tried to report a Bug but they asked me to join in as Apple developer which I just can't do (for working issues).
Can anyone tell me if they have had this problem, and whether Apple is taking care of it?
(this reminds me of an issue with an internal switch with the headphones in my old MacBook Pro.... after disconnecting the headphones, the internal switch was not being disengaged, so sound would NEVER come out as it was being sent to the headphones instead of to the speakers... Same problem here but with the Image??? :-((( )
Thanks a lot.

Sometimes I experience the same after disconnecting my 24" display (in seldom cases, the mouse cursor is not painted correctly, as well).
Can you check - when it happens - if in System Profiler > Hardware > Graphic > Quartz Extreme is listed as 'supported'. I found it to be 'not supported' when the scrolling and display behaves strangly. Also the Menu Bar is not transparent any more.
Next to rebooting, logout and login again fixed the issue for me. But I am also looking for a better fix/explanation.

We too are encountering this problem with reports migrated from 2005 to 2008. We are getting the rendering error only when trying to use the paging controls to navigate forward through the report. This is on SSRS 2008 R2 running SharePoint Integration. When
the result set is empty we get the tablix errors mentioned instead. The reports ran fine prior to migration to SSRS2008.

Portal rendering errors using IE10

Hi,
We've recently patched all of our SAP systems (portal and backend) and checked we're at the requisite level for IE10 support in the PAM.
We're currently in the process of testing all of our applications for IE10 compliance and have identified two issues which someone may have experienced or can advise upon:
Issue 1) SAP Transaction iView (ITS) raising following error in popup dialog box 'The application was stopped due to a critical rendering error. The IE compatibility view is not supported (Note 1586993).'
This iView connects from our portal (EP 7.0 EHP2 SP14) to a backend SAP ERP (ECC) system patched to NW EHP3 (SP09).
Note 1586993 is not particularly helpful as it simply states 'The administrator must assure, that IE frame content is compatible and correctly configured'.
Additional research identified note 1970427 which I have applied to the backend system - subsequently I added application parameter 'sap-ie=EmulateIE8' to the iView (both within the iView config and at runtime) but this made no difference to the behaviour.
I checked the user's framework page and the 'Browser Document Mode' iView is linked in and has it's property set to 'IE=EmulateIE7'. I tried moving this iView further up the order sequence (i.e. putting it first) as well as changing it's setting to 'IE=EmulateIE8' but once again this had no effect on the behaviour.
I notice when logging into the portal, at first the F12 console shows Browser Mode = 'IE10', Document Mode = 'IE5 quirks' but when the problematic iView renders, the Document Mode changes to 'Quirks' which I'm assuming is why the error occurs.
I'm not sure what I can do to make the iView render in 'IE5 quirks' mode?
This iView is called dynamically at runtime with some URL parameters that are passed to the backend transaction so I cannot follow the advice in note 1590563.
Issue 2) BSP iView for 'CRM Web Interaction Centre' - all F4 dialog popups are displaying empty with no content, e.g. Inbox search help for classification field
This iView connects from our portal (EP 7.0 EHP2 SP14) to a backend SAP CRM system patched to NW EHP2 (SP04).
I tried setting my user parameter CRM_THTMLB_IE_COMP to 'IE8' but this had no effect.
Note, if I set the IE10 property 'Display intranet sites in Compatibility View' both issues above are resolved. We're trying to avoid this as we've had this setting in place for a number of years and it affects the correct operation of non-SAP applications. Given there are numerous ways of making SAP operate by emulating older compatible IE versions, I expected we could work around needing to do this but it may be a last resort.
Please offer any advice you can as it will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Alan

Hi Lawrence,
We have a mixture of custom and SAP standard portal applications developed over the past 10 years.
UI technologies include: Java Server Pages, Web Dynpro Java, ITS, BSP, Web Dynpro ABAP and BEx.
Quite honestly, the portal hasn't proved to be the best SAP product in our experience, and we've tried hard to keep it patched up-to-date. OK, it offers integration and navigation but that capability is offered by the Fiori Launchpad, albeit presenting new challenges and possibly some limitations on the integration of existing applications.
We could have opted to integrate the Fiori Launchpad with the portal but decided it was cleaner to perform a standalone installation on our newly built NetWeaver Gateway server.
We're starting our Fiori journey by implementing selected SAP delivered apps for the first pilot projects then plan to replace or migrate existing portal applications.
We'll replace any custom Java apps with UI5 apps built in-house as we need to rationalise UI technologies and this one is a prime candidate given the lack of in-house skills and SAP direction.
Our expenses application is currently an SAP ITS transaction iView in the portal but will be replaced with the My Travel and Expenses Fiori app this year.
CRM Transaction Launch isn't used often so we may kill it off.
BSP's are solely in the CRM area and I read they're not supported yet in the launchpad - hopefully they will be in a future version (?).
We have quite a few Web Dynpro ABAP applications so these will take some time to rewrite if required (assuming we cannot port them).
BEx may be replaced with Business Objects or taken out of the portal in favour of the Excel version we also run (portal offers little value for massive reports so users download to Excel in any case).
My understanding is that the Fiori Launchpad does support integration of legacy SAP technologies so we'll need to gauge if and when we each a tipping point where any remaining portal applications can either be integrated with the launchpad or replaced with alternative new applications. Obviously all of the above will take time.
We're working on developing a custom Fiori/UI5 theme and have hit a few snags. We've just patched to SP09 on our development Gateway system but the UI Theme Designer is still a bit flaky (we run the tool there but could also do this on our portal). My colleague is now trying the cloud version to see if that proves a more viable route. In either case we'll be seeking SAP assistance as we really want our UI5 apps to adopt recently developed corporate branding rules. Our portal currently uses a copy of Gold Reflection with simply the SAP logo replaced for our company's logo.
If you have any further queries just let me know, or similarly advice/experience on the above.
Hope this helps.
Alan

Rendering Error: CS6 Quicktime crash- error (-1610153464)

Hello,
My employer recently purchased Adobe Suite CS6. I mainly Use After Effects for my job. I have been getting the following error whenever I attempt to render into Quicktime format.:
"After Effects error: Rendering error while writing to file "C:\Users\User1\Desktop\File_Name.mov". An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464)"
I have searched for solutions to this online. Rebooted my machine after reinstalling the latest Quicktime; deleted queued renders; made sure to switch the compatibility for "AfterFX.exe" to Windows 7. I have also grabbed any recent updates.
One of our clients has asked for files to be delivered in Quicktime format. It would be nice to find a resolution for this issue soon. Thanks for any aguidance with this issue in advance.
I will be glad to provide any machine specs if necessary.

Don't worry, K-Lite did not cause this problem. Dave just likes to blindly blame K-Lite for every problem on earth. This is a QuickTime problem as obvious by the error itself and also by the fact that DaftlyPunkish is getting the same error on MacOS.
Try this
1) Uninstall QuickTime
2) Search the Windows ProgramData folders for left-over QT files such as quicktimepreferences.qtp and remove them.
3) Install QuickTime
4) Make sure that AE and QT are not blocked by your firewall. Test with your firewall completely disabled.

IE10 rendering error in UWL sub dialogs like connections status

Hi,
I am using a custom framework and added the browser document mode iview with the sap-ie=EmulateIE8 parameter as described in various blogs. I also added this parameter to iviews where applicable but there are still rendering error messages in some UWL dialogs that are opened through the UWL dialog itself e.g. the connection status window or the delegate window.
Where can I add the sap-ie parameter to have these dialogs also rendered without warning?
Thanks for any helpful hints in advance!
Regards Stefan

Hi Stefan
I hope you are well and many thanks for using the SAP Discussion Forums .
I'd like to re-emphasize the importance of what Donald mentioned above:
Have you tried setting IE to use compatibility mode?
Tools->Compatibility View settings - Add your Portal URL in the list
In addition to this there are some important points to highlight regarding the utilization of IE10.
Kindly see the below SAP Note Documentation (Compatability Section also Included).
SAP Note 1785100 - Internet Explorer 10 Release Notes
I would like you to review all the content available on SAP Note 1785100. As you can see in the Symptom section of the note, it also summarizes the Internet Explorer 10 limitations and system requirements that are known in some areas, including Web Dynpro and JAVA which is thetechnology used by the UWL iViews.
- SAP Note: 1718465 - IE10 rendering issues with Web Dynpro Java
From researching previously reported scenarios similar to the one that you are experiencing it seems the activation of compatibility mode has been used as the resolution before. Another point of analysis is the browser window zoom and its current setting, is it set to 100%?
Kindly update me as per your findings.
Kind Regards

Rendering errors with firefox and chromium SPECIFIC to Arch LInux

Guys - can someone please browse to https://www.americanexpress.com and click on "User ID" using whatever browser? For me under both Firefox and Chromium, there is some sort of rendering error that prevents me from doing so. In the screenshot you can see how there is a "phantom menu" that appears above the login dialog:
I booted into a live ubuntu 11.10 CD and tried from there using firefox - no such error. Now I'm asking myself if this is somehow related to Arch and if so which package should I use in a bug report... thanks for the interest.
EDIT: x86_64 and nvidia drivers.
EDIT2: x86_64 and nouveau have the same result.

When sharing a videos I get a rendering error: -50. Any suggestions?

when sharing a videos I get a rendering error: -50. Any suggestions?

I have an iMac, Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, memory: 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, OSX 10.7.5, FCPX 10.0.8. I have no third party plugins. First time responding to community. Forgive any protocol errors.
Been working on variety of work projects for months prior to update with no problems. Took time off for a simple new project after updating to 10.0.8. Finished this small (11 minute) new project that is a combination of video and stills, with a few titles and simple transitions. Plays fine within FCPX, however, ran into same problem that started this chain, ie cannot share/export without getting same error message stated above related to a faulty frame.
Tried several share/export Master File settings. Tried moving project (from within FCPX) to another drive which resulted in same error message, but related to other different frames. Tried replacing original data in affected frame with freshly exported replacement files using QTime. Same problem again. Was able to export to Compressor, but resulting ProRes 422 file was so jumpy it wasn't usable.
Tried suggestions of Mark M 98021 and Hank LV, ie, halting all rendering in preferences and deleting render files. After this, I was successful in sharing/exporting at will.
I have several other major projects that I am afraid to return to. I'm not an expert at the inner workings of FCPX and don't have time to keep dealing with this issue. I can leave rendering off, but not a satisfactory solution. Not sure if old rendered files might become infected.
It would seem that there is a problem in the update. I hope this is corrected so I can continue with my work.
