Question

How to get rid of the error: [effect name] return invalid max_result_rect from PF_Cmd_SMART_PRE_RENDER(25::237)

I am running After effects 14.2.0.198 on a Mac Pro(Late 2013) running 10.10.5, and have been having this error for the last 6 hours or so:

[effect name] return invalid max_result_rect from PF_Cmd_SMART_PRE_RENDER(25::237)

After searching on the web and this community, I tried restarting AE, updating AE, restarting my Mac, purge all memory and disk cache, reset AE preferences, rearrange the effects order, put HSL effect before the effect in the error message.

I am using third-party effects, they are all built-in AE effects like corner pin, fast blur, levels, HSL, curves.....etc

None of them work.

Any idea to get rid of it?

Thanks

      I'm starting to get this error too. I have tried all sorts of things to see if it fixes but it does not.

      Changing from 8 to 16 to 32 doesn't do anything.

      Changing the rendering engine from software to GPU or vice-versa does nothing. 

      Blending colors using Gamma 1.0 or going from 2.2 to 2.4 or vice-versa does nothing.

      Turning off the audio on the project does nothing.

      I have updated to the newest version and it hasn't fixed.

      I am at a loss for what is a solution.

      I believe we used the grow bounds effect to fix this

        I am still getting this problem on 2017. I am working on footage that is 3800x1200 exrs. I am working in 32 bit.

        Simple fx such as tint, levels, exposure, and blurs have this problem.

        It is quite difficult to finish the job as such.

        Thank you,

        Chris

        Are you working in 8, 16, or 32-bit color?

        Does changing that make the error stop appearing?
