Why can't After Effects CC render as .WMV?

I reinstalled After Effects CC after reinstalling Windows 7 on my computer. When I try to export a video as a Windows Media file it won't show me the option to do it. I don't know what's wrong with it or how to fix it and I alreadt tried reinstalling it again, but it still did not work. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Why can't After Effects save my file?

Why can't After Effects save my file? I get a warning each time :
Could not create the file.....

thanks for your reply!

Why did you do that? Certainly not standard procedure. Fortunately, there is a fix: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Just wondering if someone can tell me if my asus laptop model #q500a can run after effects cc?

Just wondering if someone can tell me if my asus laptop model #q500a can run after effects cc? Im using windows 8 64bit.

If I'm not mistaken, these are the specs of your machine:
3rd Generation Intel Core i5-3210M, 2.5GHz
6GB RAM
750GB 5400rpm Hard Drive
15.6-Inch LED Screen, Intel HD 4000 Graphics
Windows 8 (64-bit)
That is just barely above the minimum requirements to even run AE. You will have to work pretty smart to run smoothly with AE. Make sure you don't have multiprocessing turned on, you don't have enough RAM for it at all.
What are your memory and multiprocessing settings?
You may not be able to RAM preview full HD on it. Just preview a frame at a time at full res if you must and use a half-res RAM preview for checking timing.
Read this: optimizing for performance: Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects it might help.
Or get a more powerful desktop instead.

Why is my after effects unable to render?

Hi! I am currently rendering a video in After Effects CS6. Once it reaches around 1,330 frames for some reason it stops and the percentage of ram usage goes up from 11% to 49%. Please help!
Now I am also getting a error saying: After Effects error: Rendering error while writing to file

We need to know a lot more if we're going to help you. Please provide answers to the questions listed here: "FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?"

After Effects CS6 - render files huge!

Ok I am tying myself in knots here.
I have a 7 second text animation on a plain background in After Effects CS6 which I want to export so I can use it in Premiere Pro CS6 withan alpha channel so i can superimpose it over video. The file is 1080P 25 because that matches my video. the first time I rendered it it came out at 89Mb which was fine. But I wanted to tweak the text positioning so I did that - now every time I render the file is around 1.5Gb!
I am using Windows so i can't render Quicktime with an alpha channel which means I have to use avi but what settings should I use? (Avi is the only format which allows me to export RGB + alpha).
I have to say that I have used many video programs in my life but I find After Effects the single most unituitive piece of software I have ever encountered. Why can't it give you an indication of how big your render file is likely to be to gvie youa t least some clue as to what settings to use?

That is not correct.
You can install QuickTime on Windows and use QuickTime for output from After Effects.

Does cinema 4d (cineware after effect) standard render no has depth of field and physical render have depth of field?

Dear sir
Why cineware have only one standard render engine ? why do no have more render engine?
as i saw in tutorial long course in internet for cinema 4d build in standard render is no has depth of field (f stop) but for physical render has depth of field.
so the problem with using cineware in after effect provide us only standard render engine. how can we composite with shallow depth of field video footage in After Effect if standard render no depth of field to Modeling or character that we composite with?

Now i can find solution on this depth of field cineware. I will try it
later. But now i have one more problem about render engine tool there are 4
in cinema 4d right? What different of them? See photo attached

After Effects wont render video completely

Usually I am pretty good at solving problems, but for this issue, it seems that I cannot figure out why I can't fully render a composition. I've used After Effects for over 3 years and I've done tons of video work for clients.
The issue lies when I send my entire composition to the render queue. My export range is for the entire composition. But when I press render, it only renders 21 seconds and then stops completing the action of rendering.
I'm in Adobe CC 2014, if that makes enough of a difference to fixing my problem.
Can I get some help?

I just recently installed the newest version of After Effects and did a system reboot. I make it past 0:21:09, but the render stops at random points. The farthest it makes is to 0:52:03. It is a three minute long video. I get an status saying "Failed at (Timecode)".
This is the latest version of Adobe. I am operating under 10.8.5.
I don't understand why I am having these issues.
For it will stop at times before then, but, I honestly dont know the issue.

How do I get after effects to render with my GPU?

Yea, really noob question, but I can't figure it out!
Spent literally HOURS trying to find how to do this.. Use my GTX 670 to render instad of CPU. Can't figure it out. I finally (I think) figured out where to change the setting to raytraced rendering, but it still REFUSES to use it. I can't work like this! Countless hours to render a 4 min video with an i7? I am checking with a hardware monitor, and my GPU isn't getting used.
I don't have the time (or inclination) to watch hours and hours of tutorial videos. I am the type of person that uses templates and modifies them to my needs/desires, so pointing me to a "generic" after effect tutorial website will do no good.
Now, I only mention this to show that I don't come running for help every time I have a small problem, and refuse to try and find the answer myself. I have myself learned how to edit text, make it appear and disappear. Slow down and speed up an entire composition and much much more all by using google. But I obviously can't get the wording right with google because I can't find a solution.

You cannot enforce GPU raytracing if your card is not supported and that is that. If adding the card to the raytracer_supported_cards.txt file and updating the graphics driver doesn't do it, then nothing will. You are using dead technology, anyway.

After Effects wont render full res - possible RAM issue?

Not sure if this has ever come up before - I'm unable to render out of after effects and RAM preview half res. When I try and RAM preview the comp just goes black and when I send it to render I get the following message:
After Effects warning: Logged one error - "error Rendering while writing to file. An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted(-1610153464)"
I'm able to RAM preview half res okay, and can render out half res as well. I've tried it with rendering multiple frames simultaneously on and off, clearing the disk cache and turning off any RAM hogging effects.
An obvious cause I've identified is that I've recently upgraded and replaced the RAM on my machine, however, after effects has been the only software effected. Cinema 4D renders no problems and I've had no other problems with the general running of my machine.
Have there ever been any cases before of After Effects not working with certain types of RAM?
My set up -
Mac Pro - Early 2008
OSX Mavericks 20.9.2
2 x 2.8 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
16GB 800MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
250GB Samsung SSD

I'm running After Effects CC 12.2.1.5
Sorry should have mentioned, no matter what format I render as, whether it be QT or TIFF sequence, I still get the exact same error.
QT version i'm using is 7.6.6
In terms of reproducing the error, it seems to happen to pretty much anything I try and render, unless it's an extremely simple one layer comp. Rendering a comp with 2 image sequence layers (1920 x 1080) will cause this to happen, but if there's just the one image sequence alone in the comp (and no other layers) then it will render.

My After effects wont render the whole video?

So I recently switched to After Effects CC 2014 and for some reason, When I go to render my video, the first clip is the only thing rendered. I Have the whole area selected open however.

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details like exact comp settings, render settings and what have you.

After Effects CC Render Errors with RED footage and ProRes 4444 proxies

Working on an 8 Core, 2008 Mac Pro with 16GB of RAM running Mountain Lion.
I just upgraded to After Effects CC and I'm having a whole bunch of errors ...
-- the 'MooV' file is damaged or unsupported
-- error getting package info for file "..." ( 3 :: 164 )
-- Error (4) reading frame from file "..." ( 86 :: 2 )
I'm trying to make ProRes 4444 proxies from RED files (sometimes as big as 4K), which will eventually end up in a 1920x1080 project. I'll make a 4444 proxy, work on it all day with no problems, then when I try to render (or save a RAM preview) any one of the previous errors will show up.
My projects seemed to work just fine fine in AE CS6, and I've worked with RED footage in AE before with little issue. I've completly restarted my system, re-installed everything, worked off an external drive, worked on my internal (software) RAID, rendered to local and external hard drives, adjusted my multiprocesser render settings (on and off), cleared the cache ... nothing is fixing it.
Does anybody else have any ideas? Or insight. Or anything?!
Thanks for your time,
Eliot

I'm working on a MacbookPro, Early 2013, OS X 10.8.4, and I'm having the same exact error:
However instead of using RED footage, I'm using a 3rd party plugin called Element 3D and Optical Flares from VideoCopilet.net.
I'm not sure if the bug is related, I'm just wondering if anyone else has any idea on how to fix this problem. I have a fresh install of CC so I can't downgrade to CS6.
Another error popped up during multiple trys in export:
In case the old file was actually corrupted, I checked all my backups that worked perfectly fine with CS6 in the past, and I get the same error when I copy them over to my hard drive on my mac.
My current setup is:
Processor: 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 16GB
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
I really don't want to recreate this entire file from scratch. That would be a lot of hours wasted... any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

After Effects CC Render Error H.264

Win 7x64
Adobe After Effects CC 2014 13.0.2
QuickTime Pro 7.7.6 installed
I'm IT. Not a day to day user of CC Products.
I have a client (Uni) that is having trouble rendering in After Effects H.264 with complex renders. Basic 'simple, single image' renders work without issue. And the error output is set to 'errors only' yet nothing spits out. Users are Standard Users.
Where is a jumping off point to decipher what is breaking?

That's nice.
But from your initial query, it's difficult to know whether this person is importing h.264 footage or trying to render h.264 footage. H.264 footage used in AE can cause problems with certain effects, and it is NEVER a good idea to render to h.264.
So this could be an operator error rather than a system error.
So I tell you what, Mr. IT Guy -- go buttonhole this person, put your heads together, and answer the litany of diagnostic questions you'll find here:
FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?
Between the two of you, you'll have a much better chance of coming to the root of the problem... but separately? That's a crap shoot.

After Effects CS5 render question

Can someone explain this please. I have a movie (30 sec in length). I rendered it into another movie. It took 1:48 to render (short render). I rerendered it again. It only took 1 min (same exact settings). I closed the project and opened a new porject. I did the same thing again except the first render I chaanged it to only render the first 3 seconds. The second render still only took 1 min (and it was the whole thing). It seems like the first render will always be slow but every render after that will be faster. Is that correct?

Not necessarily.
Some factors that might make a render after the first one go faster:
- cached frames
- background processes that took a while to start up the first time are already running
- OS has already shifted memory and CPU resources to After Effects if multiple applications are running
