I've been trying to render a composition that is less than 30 seconds long but at the same spot I keep getting this message. How do I fix this?

So if my computer apparently "doesn't meet the minimum requirements for After Effects", what can I do in order to fix my problem?

...particularly for such a large video frame (9,600 X 5,400 px).  The length of the composition is irrelevant, but Ae needs enough memory to render each frame. Do you have effects applied to that layer as well? If so, which?

Your computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements for After Effects:

You need at least 16 GB RAM.

My macbook air has 8 GB of RAM installed. I went to that link and tried almost everything and it still fails at the same place.

How much memory (RAM) does your computer have?

Aside from Peru Bob's link, sift through the project whether any effects have crazy settings. effects running amok is the most likely cause for such errors, after all.
