Crash

[Christa5E70]

I have been trying to export a ~3:00 long After Effects project for weeks now. I've tried software encoding, hardware encoding, different computers, different distination files, all with no luck. The strange thing is I exported it successfully the first time and then went back and tweaked minor things (fonts, colors, etc) and ever since then, it can't get beyond ~:30. 

I've attached a screenshot of the error I've been getting recently. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Christa5E70,

We're sorry about the poor experience. Have you tried exporting in any other Format (like QuickTime > Apple ProRes) & checked if it's working properly? Also, is there any effect or plugin used in the timeline around that 30s mark?

Thanks,

Sumeet

I did not use any plug-ins or outside effects in the project. I just tried exporting using Apple ProRes and it crashed again. Here is the error message.

Thanks for confirming that. Please try to export the comp directly from After Effects & check if it's exporting properly.

I tried exporting directly through After Effects and this crashed as well at around the same time.
