Rendering Problem on Adobe After Effects

I have a composition on After Effects that I want to render. It is 1 minute 30 seconds long. Every time I attempt to render, a box pops up saying: "The layer exceeds maximum size." I have tried rendering with other formats (e.g AVI, Quicktime, H.264 etc.) but every time it still pops up and says the same thing. Please can someone tell me what this means and what I have to do? Thanks.

As Dave said, we need a lot more info about your comp settings, render settings, what footage and effects are used and all that. also the exact error message (including all cryptic strings and numerical codes) might offer some insights. The way I see it, some flakey effect is expanding the layer size beyond AE's maximum of 30000 pixels, but we realyl can't be more specific than that...

Problem with Adobe After Effects CS6 on Windows 8.1 PRO

Hi Adobe Systems guys, I would like to know when the error will have the solution presented Adobe After Effects CS6 (Latinoamerican Spanish Version) running Windows 8.1 PRO, and throwing the following error.
I've tried the latest available update 11.0.3 but does not correct the problem. I wonder when will be ready the solution because with Illustrator CS6 also was the same but with the solution described in this page, http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/illustrator-does-not-start-windows-81.html was solved perfectly.
I appreciate prompt as we need urgent help to use the software in its Spanish version as was originally purchased. thanks

That such a friend, for I tell you that none of their solutions is an option for me because:
• Wait a couple of months with no after effects in the hope That a patch will come ... someday
R:/ The problem is not mine, is problem of Abode and therefore investing heavily in the creative suite CS6 and for that to be an option.
It's not fair to have to beg for a solution.
• Upgrade to CC and enjoy all the latest features
R:/ It is not possible , because we will not spend more money than they already invested in Suite CS6
• Use After Effects CS6 in English
R:/ It is not possible as the staff in charge of managing this program if it is not handled in English and therefore bought the suite in Spanish .
• Roll your computer back to Windows 8 instead of 8.1
R:/ It is not possible as it is known all Windows 8.0 failures we have put in 8.1 PRO .
I do not understand is that if Adobe Illustrator had the same problem and it was fixed within a couple of days getting the patch , why not do the same with After Effects CS6 in Spanish . All users of this suite CS6 and buyers deserve respect and prompt solution to the problems that are the fault of Adobe.

Audio problem in Adobe After Effects CS6

When ever i import a clip into adobe after effects cs6 the program does not read my clips audio i know how to ram preview its just the program doesnt read the audio what so ever but when i preview the clip on my desktop using windows media player it works fine and you can here the audio. My clips are recorded by my HDPVR Haupauge and it records in m2ts file someone please help me this is a serious problem with this program

Hi,
When you installed the full version, DId it install "Over" the existing one, or is it seen as a new installation (Sorry, I have never re-installed AE, so I am not sure of the way it works) - but coming from an IT background, sometimes installing a bought version, will overwrite all user settings that were set up in the trial.
In other words, recheck all the program user properties and audio check boxes to make sure the re-installation did not reset something to "off".
There are a few Audio discussions going around today, check the forum and give them a quick read to get a reminder of where all the possible Adio "on/off" switches are hidden.
Hope that helps

Problem Installing Adobe After Effects

I've heard about the Adobe After Effects CS6. And I installed the Adobe Download Assistant. But every time I clicked on the button "download" button, an Error thing came up. I also tried to download the other software and they were just fine. Only the After Effects CS6 has a problem. The Error thing I received is the " Error communicating with Adobe.com (Error 107), it asked me to restart the Download Assistant and I restarted it a lot of times... But I still just can't install it. Hope someone could help me.

Which Internet service provider are you using? Many users have posted about this but I have never been able to duplicate the behavior. No one ever seems to respond back though with their ISP information.
Beyond that you can follow the steps listed at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369 to initiate a direct download.

Problem starting Adobe After Effects CS5 Trial

Hey there,
I have a huge problem starting AE5 Trial and well I looked around several Discussions about the problem without anything that'd help me.
I used to work with an older version of AE, borrowed by my filmbuddy, on my old desktop without any problem.
Now with my new laptop, I downloaded the CS5 Trial version and it hangs with initializing Mediacore. I'd really like to buy the new AE version, but well, if it doesn't work at trial level on my laptop, why should the full version work?
So when starting AE the startup screen appears it hangs with "initalizing MediaCore", so I have to click on that screen that something happens ... now the startup screen is dark colored and I have to wait for 10 min that something new is happening.
Now it says: "Warning: QuickTime is not installed on this system, some components will not work correctly. So I can press and AE actually starts, but I'm not able to import or export QuickTime movies. And btw. AE works pretty lame, don't know why (my OS is Windows Ultimate 7, 64 bit btw. ^^ )
So well I tried to deactivate my firewall, no change
I tried to delete the MediaCore plug-ins (program files - AE CS5 - Media Core plug-ins - common) one by one or all ... no change
I tried reinstalling QuickTIme and AE, different orders, still nothing happens
There may be several helpful Threads about this, but the problem is, its mostly specific to Mac and I can't find the equivalent way for Windows
I'd appreciate any help
Thanks for your kind attention

Yeah CS5.5 from the adobe website. At least I think so - my internet connection is to slow to download anything, so a friend got it for me
The point: permissions problem with preferences folder or corrupt preferences - I don't know why, but I don't have the AppData\Roaming path/folders
just worked through this discussion: blockage of TCP communication with QuickTIme - I don't quite get the point with the rule ... what steps do I have to follow in Windows Firewall? but well I deactivated it anyway and it still didn't work.
Aaand I don't find the preference files on windows ... user/...
gosh I want to work with this program error-free ^^

the default downloads location is usually in My Documents. Or, use the
search function for Adobe to search out the file that was downloaded.

Darstellungsproblem mit Adobe After Effects / Photoshop

Hallo!
Ich habe seit kurzem Probleme mit Adobe After Effects und Photoshop bezüglich der Darstellung von Verläufen.
Der Verlauf wird bei mir eher so Absatzweise angezeigt, also nicht wie gewöhnlich schön linear, sondern kastenweise ( Beispiel Verlauf von Schwarz auf Weiss: Schwarz-->Dunkel grau---> Hell grau---> weiss ).
Hier habe ich mal ein Beispiel, die ersten sekunden im Video zeigen das ganz gut:
http://vimeo.com/15379288
Es liebt aber nicht an den Rendereinstellungen, denn ich habe dieses Problem auch in Photoshop, hier werden Verläufe genauso komisch dargestellt.
Ich habe auch meine Grafikkarte nicht geändert.
Dieser fehler tritt eigentlich erst seit Kurzem auf
Ich hoffe, mir kann jemand helfen!
Viele Grüße!

Warum und weshalb kann ich aus der Ferne jetzt auch nicht sagen. Auf jeden Fall nochmal doppelt und dreifach die Grafikkarteneinstellungen abklopfen. Von inkorrektem Handling von transparenten Fenstern, Medienwiedergabe mit Hardwarebeschleunigung zu bis komischen spielespezifischen Einstellungen kann ich mir 'ne Tonne von Möglichkeiten vorstellen, die die GraKa von TrueColor auf andere Modi runterschalten würden, inklusive eben dass der Monitor selbst irgendwelche bösen Dinge erzwingt, wenn er per DVI/ HDMI mit dem Compi verhandelt. Das sollte zwar eigentlich keinen Einfluss auf PS' und AEs interne Funktionen haben, aber gerade mit dem OpenGL-Mist weiß man nie.... Gerade für letzteres wäre es vielleicht auch sinnvoll, den speziellen Monitortreiber des Herstellers zu installieren mitsamt eventuell vorhandener spezifischer Farbprofile. Wäre auch sowas, wo ich mir vorstellen könnte, dass insbesondere PS anhand falsche Farbprofile irgendwelchen Blödsinn verzapft... Wenn du den genauen Typ verrätst, könnte man ja vielleicht auch mal im Web nachguggen...

Adobe After Effects CS6 takes FOREVER to lock existing frames before rendering

My After Effects CS6 locks up for 3 minutes "Locking Existing Frames" before it even begins to start rendering, every time I need to preview anything - even at the lowest possible quality.
The render goes perfectly normal - it is not the rendering that is the problem - it is the "Locking Existing Frames" process BEFORE rendering that freezes up my computer for 3 minutes, and ruining my life.
I am using Adobe After Effects CS6 on a Mac Book Pro with a 2.9 GHz Core i7 processor (2 cores) and 8 GB of RAM.
Please help me understand what is happening when it is "Locking Existing Frames," and what some solutions could be to reduce the amount of time it takes to do this.
ALSO: I have scoured the Web for hours looking for the answer to this problem, and to this point it has never been solved. If you can solve this issue, Adobe should give you a promotion and $1 million.

Hi Rick and Greg,
Thanks for the quick responses. Below are all the details to all your questions. Also - just to emphasize again - my rendering goes super awesomely fast. It is not the rendering. It is the "Locking Existing Frames" process before the rendering that is ruining my life.
FREE MEMORY:
This is brand new Mac Book Pro with hardly anything stored on it.
The 8 GB of RAM is split into 2 memory slots, each with 4GB of RAM
3RD-PARTY CODECS:
I am not aware of any third-party codecs in this system. I imported some fonts (ITC Franklin Gothic) and some video files (see below), but I am not aware of any third-party codec installed on this system.
DISC CACHE:
My Disc Cache is enabled
My maximum disc cache size is 69 GB
I do not have a seperate "fast hard drive" or "SSD" seperate from my main hard drive, where I store my footage.
MPEG SOURCE FILES:
If by source files, you're asking about the video files I imported:
2 MP4s (5 sec. each)
3 QuickTime .mov (3 sec. each)
1 Audio-only FLV. (2 minute background music throughout video; used to be a Premiere working file)
MULTIPROCESSING
Turned off, but still locks up forever before rendering.
ADDITIONAL FUN FACTS:
Here are some additional observations that might help:
It doesn't just take a long time to start rendering; it freezes my entire computer for the duration of the "Locking Existing Frames" process - putting my entire life on hold for 3 minutes, every time I need to preview a minor detail... It's a nightmare.
The video is 1 min. 45 sec. long so far, and has 15 sec. to go.
The video is comprised of 99 percent motion graphics, and 1 percent actual footage (Occupy Wall Street hates my footage)
The complexity in this video is that there are a lot of compositions inside of compositions inside of compositions, but even when I go to the very beginning of the first comp - where the only animation is a line being drawn with the "Stroke" effect - it still takes 3 minutes to "Lock Existing Frames."
Again... The rendering goes super fast after the "Locking Existing Frames" process. The problem is NOT with the rendering. The problem is the "Locking Existing Frames" process BEFORE the rendering starts.
This is my job and I can't do efficiently until I solve this problem, so I will be very responsive until we can identify the issue.
Thanks again for all your helpful responses!

Adobe After Effects Problems

I edited a sequence in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 with no problems. After I exported it, I checked the movie in Windows media player to make sure everything was okay. In Windows Media Player, the movie played well with audio and video. After that, I imported it into Adobe After Effects. The Movie is 1280x720 60fps. However, after I did a RAM preview of the clip, there was still no audio. I doubled checked the clip outside of After Effects and it played with audio just fine. Is there something wrong with the way I originally exported it or is it a software error? Also, when I imported the movie into After Effects, it played in Slow-motion after RAM preview instead of playing in regular motion. Can someone please help? Thanks.

I think that you're clicking the wrong button and not, in fact, using RAM preview. The Play button in the Preview panel does not start a RAM preview.
See this page for how to do a RAM preview. Pay special attention to the icons that illustrate what buttons to click.

Problem on activating Adobe After effects

I'm having problem on activating Adobe After Effects. I've already activate other programs such as Photoshop & Illustrator.
Mac Pro unit was recently upgrade from Maverick to Yosemite & experience incompatibility when running After Effects, i read some of feedback on Adobe Forums that an upgrade must be installed first to resolved the issue.
Installed on my Mac Pro machine was an Adobe Creative Suite 6.
Hope someone can help with my problem. thanks. sorry for my bad grammar.

You need to install the 11.0.4 update for After Effects CS6. updates for Adobe Media Encoder, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Prelude, Audition, and SpeedGrade

Adobe After Effects CS4 trial installation problem, Please Help!

Ok, I downloaded the trail version of Adobe After Effects CS4 onto my PC (Windows XP). When I try to run the setup (by double-clicking it), a window pops up saying 'Adobe setup has encountered a problem and needs to close.' Does anyone know why this is, and how I might be able to fix it? I already tried re-downloading it, and I checked the system requirements. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME BECAUSE I REALLY WANT TO USE THIS! If it will help here are my PC's specs:
Operating System - Windows XP with service pack 3
RAM - 2.0GB
Graphics Card - ATI Radeon HD 4830
Processor - Intel Core 2 Dual 2.2GHz
Monitor Resolution - 1280x1024
Thanks

Verify the following:
a) you run as administrator
b) your virus scanner and firewall don't interfere
c) you have enough temporary disk space
d) no other tools are interfering
For b), simply turn those tools off during install. For c), check your user temp directory (C:\Documents and Settings\You\Local Settings\Temp). Clean it out either manually or using tools like CCleaner. Also defragment your drive. For d), you may need to uninstall otehr Adobe software. also monitor your task manager for processes and services that may have a negative impact. A dump of those can easily be generated using HijackThis!, so you can post the list here for verification, if needed. also provide any otehr info that could be important, like e.g. special drivers or user settings.
