While rendering a project in After Effects CC (Mac) , the application closes half way, saying it quit unexpectedly, Please Help!

Element 3d renders using your graphics card. Unlike After Effects, what GPU you're using matters a lot for Element.
As it is, you don't really have one.
You could try rendering an image sequence and then picking up your render where it left off when it crashes, but if a certain frame is just too much for your computer to handle, there's not much we can help with. I'd suggest adding a GPU that Element can use.

Well, iCloud has nothing to do with this.
Do you have the built-in backup function Time Machine running on your Mac?

Rendering a project from After Effects CC trial

Hi! Will After Effects CC trial display a green cross when rendering?

The trial is fully functional for 30 days without any watermarks. This is not the case with most third party plug-ins. After 30 days the program simply will not launch but nothing happens to the projects you have created. When you license the software you can go back and get them.

Can I work on a different project in After Effects while rendering another (AE) project in Media Encoder?

(I'm using the current AE CC 2014)... I've tried twice to start working on a project in After Effects while a DIFFERENT project is rendering in Media Encoder. Both times it (Media Encoder) hung up/crashed. I thought the point of a separate encoder program was so I COULD work on another project in AE at the same time another project was rendering in Media Encoder.
Am I doing something wrong, or do I just have to WAIT for the encoding in Media Encoder to finish before I can do other things in AE?
[I tried searching through help. If I it's there... I just missed it.]
Thanks (in advance) for the help.

You should wait.
What are the specs of your computer?

Getting Error while transfering projects from After effects to premier pro?

Video Filter missing: AE.ADBE FreePin3
This is the error i get when i try to export and open After Effects projects in to Premier? Im working with the puppet tool and i want to export my project to premier pro cs3 so i can further edit it there. Im using After Effects Cs3 and Premier Pro CS3? please help

Well, does Premiere have a "Puppet Tool"? Absolutely not. Therefore how do you expect this feature to come over to PPro? Sorry, but that's simply impossible. You will have to render the project or use Dynamic Link from withing Premiere ("Import After Effects Composition), not the other way around.

Repeated Failed Rendering 4k composition in After Effects CC

I am having repeated errors while rendering a 4k composition in Adobe After Effects CC. The composition is setup with the pixel ratio is 3840x2160 at 29.97FPS. I did this to match the output of the video that I will later attach to finish the composition I had generated in After Effects. The composition is about 12s long and takes about 12min(estimated) to render on my current platform. (14gb Ram, GeForce GTX 970, 4tb extra hardrive).
The problem I am running into is the intro composition will render about 3/4 of the way through then crash; I am getting a rendering error that causes it to stop and crashed after effects. I have tried changing the output Codecs settings and render quality to see if this helps at all, it doesn't. I can get the project to render in a lower quality of 1920x1080 (a little glitchy). I am not sure where to start troubleshooting this further?? Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance!

I am using AE CC version 13.2
My render settings are in the pics below
my caustics comp is 12 seconds long has a background sub comp, sky (logo sub comp) , and bottom layer comp with wave world effects with some fades on the logo
The render seems to freeze at the same point for each time, even with I trying a new codecs or to mess with the settings, it seems to be with the comp itself or the output power of my platform.

asus z97-a motherboard, 16gb ddr3 memory, I7 4790 processor, samsung 256 SSD, 4TB WD RED, EVGA Nvidia 970 video card, running on windows 7
Rendering error codes:
I hope this helps, thankyou for your help with this. I wrote the initial thread when I was at work today away from my platform at home and did not have the specific details. Any help to get this thing moving again would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want to lower output video quality as the rest of my video footage is in 4k with matching aspect ratios for the footage

Importing Motion project into After Effects

I am attempting to import a Motion 4 project in After Effects CS4. I am using the suggested instructions:
1 In After Effects, choose File > Import > File.
2 In the Import File dialog, choose All Files from the Enable pop-up menu.
3 Click to select the Motion project you want to import.
4 Choose QuickTime Movie from the Format pop-up menu.
5 Click Open.
Motion does not show up in After Effects. What went wrong?

Importing Premiere Project into After Effects

When I import a Premiere Pro project into After Effects, it splits every shot onto a new track, ending up with a couple of hundred tracks at the end.
Is there a way to avoid this ?
Particularly, since I'd want to keep the option of bringing the project file back in Premiere for further editing.
My colorist suggested that I nest reels of my timeline and split it that way so that when he imports it he has nests on one timeline and the multiple tracks in each of those nests. Still, this feel very clunky.

Since my colorsit doesn't have CS4, I nested sequences in another timeline so that when I imported project in AE my colorist could see the one clip nest and click it to see other timeline to see all clips detail.
Thank you.

Opening premiere project in after effects

I find that when I bring a project I've edited in Premiere into After Effects, a few of the clips don't come over properly. This always happens with a clip that I've flipped horizontally in Premiere -- it is no longer flipped when I open the project in After Effects. Okay, so I could just re-do that effect on that one clip, but it's even more screwed up than that -- the clip comes in with the wrong in and out points! Has anyone encountered this problem, and is there a solution?
In the project I'm working on now, there are 3 clips that didn't come over to After Effects properly. Two of them were flipped horizontally in Premiere, but the third one was not flipped -- the only adjustment in Premiere was to the Levels.

Make sure you report that, it sounds like a bug.

Bringing Premiere Pro project into After Effects

I tried importing Premiere Pro projects to After Effects, but I only got the various files, not the timeline. I just watched a tutorial about Dynamic Link, but when I clicked Adobe Dynamic Link/New After Effects composition in Premiere, I got a layer that was all black, with no sound. I have CS3 Production Premium and Windows XP Media Center SP2.
Right now, I just want to keep what I edited in Premiere, but I get better quality video if I export it to H.264 MOV in After Effects than anything I've found in Premiere. I can't understand why that's so, but until I find something just as good in Premiere, I want to save everything in After Effects.

Create a project and a comp. Copy the timeline from Premiere Pro and paste it into the timeline of After Effects.

An editor at work was using our Avid to do a grade on a short promo and I
wanted to see what I could do in After Effects. So when he was out of the
office I exported the timeline as an AAF and copied the OMFI media. When I
brought the project into After Effects I ended up with a massive number of
layers and freaked at first at the idea of doing anything with it.
However I thought about it again and decided to precompose all the layers,
as this gave me just one layer to work with. I then added a couple of
Adjustment Layers above it; one with a Levels effect added and the other
with HSL. I also added Masks to the Adjustment Layers so I could vignette
any effect.
The key to working like this was to use Hold Keyframes at the beginning of
each new shot for each effect, Mask Shape and Feather. I could then adjust
that shot, scrub to the next shot add new Hold Keyframes adjust that shot
and so on. When I wanted to repeat any effect settings on a shot, I just cut
and pasted the relevant keyframes. Mixes across shots can be tricky but you
can always go back to work with the original shots on their separate layers
if you need to.
I ended up with a quick grade that stood up nicely against the one done on
the Avid and I only had work with 3 layers on my timeline!

Problem importing adobe premiere project into After effects CS6

I've been working in Adobe's premiere and after effects for quite a few years now and this problem is new to me.
I'm working on a project in After Effects CS6 and want to import a premiere pro project into After Effects. I go -> File -> import -> adobe premiere project
Select project
Select sequence
Now After Effects CS6 imports all files from the premiere pro project like before in CS5, but now also imports the videofiles as sequences at the root in my project panel and messes everything up. Before it usually imported nice and tidy with the same folder structure as the premiere pro project would have.
But that isn't the main problem. When i open the sequence i wanted to import and work on, some clips have been shortened down to 1 FRAME LONG at the end. These clips have a 500% speed in premiere pro, but this has never been a problem before, after effects has always before been able to translate the speed variations in clips from premiere -> after effects.
The adobe premiere project that was imported is a 60 sec promo with various clips in various formats (Gopro h264, dv pal quicktime etc). Footage not exceeding the fair amount that after effects should handle. 15-20 videfiles at 30 sec each.
I've never had this problem before with premiere <-> after effects.
Anyone?

I just found the solution!
In my adobe premiere project that i was trying to import, some of the clips were "right clicked" and applied "Scale to frame size"
Every videoclip that had "scale to frame size" in my adobe premiere pro sequence would import as its own composition in After Effects rather than just a videofile, and some of the clips would be trimmed down to be invisible.
So if you have any problem with a clip not importing correctly into a sequence in after effects, check to make sure "scale to frame size" is not applied to the clip in premiere pro.
I removed the scale to frame size in the premiere project and now everything imports fine into after effects.
Sorry for the post.

Problem with importing premiere project into after effects

Hi. When I import premiere project into after effects CS4 the files I speed up 2x (for example) look likes on the snapshot below, and they are not in the correct places.
what can I do?

Then don't speed them up... This is "as designed". AE and Premiere are not compatible in their tiem-remapping/ time-stretching, so tehre is no way to move between them without losing that info.

Arbitrary data param not importing from Premiere Pro project into After Effects.

Hi,
I have an AE SDK plugin effect that works in Premiere Pro and After Effects... the effect has a bunch of standard parameters and one Arbitrary Data parameter.
I believe that the Arbitrary data parameter is implemented correctly, and I have implemented all of the cases for PF_Cmd_ARBITRARY_CALLBACK...
PF_Arbitrary_NEW_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_DISPOSE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_COPY_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_FLAT_SIZE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_FLAT_SIZE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_FLATTEN_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_UNFLATTEN_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_INTERP_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_COMPARE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_PRINT_SIZE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_PRINT_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_SCAN_FUNC
The only issue I have found, is that when importing a Premiere Pro project into After Effects with the "Import -> Adobe Premiere Pro Project" option, the value in the Arbitrary Data
parameter is always the default. There is no problem saving or re-opening projects within AE or PP... and there are no problems with cutting and pasting instances of the effect.
Importing a Premiere Pro project into After Effects using the Dynamic Link works correctly... the Arbitrary data is imported.
Thanks.

Some kind of answer would be awesome... there are Adobe staff members on here right?

I am having trouble rendering a video in After Effects CS6

I am having trouble rendering a video in After Effects CS6. My video is only 12 seconds long. I am using the "Ray-Trace" feature". Whenever I try to render this video I get this error message.
Also, the text turns into a giant black boxy blob whenever I turn off the Ray-Trace effect.
Somebody please help

That's a question for the Adobe forums.
