Hi.

I am trying to stabilize my Timelapse iamge sequence using After Effects CC 2017. I did create a composition of around 300 JPEG image (4096x2731) sequence. When I did Warp Stabilizer VFX then getting error "acquire rendered frame".

But i tried another Timelapse which is also 300 images (3096x2160) that works. No error in Warp Stabilizer VFX.

Any advice why I am getting this error when using high resolution 4096x2731 JPEG image sequence?

Thanks in advance.

Hi NazmusS,

Did you find a solution for this issue, or did switching it back to CC 2015 solve it for you. Seems like it did. Let us know about it and if we can assist further.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi Kevin.

Thanks for followup. Unfortunately I did not find any solution so now using older AE 2015. If you can advice a fix of it will be great.

Regards.

Hi guys. Same issue. Some of the old forums frkm 2013 said we need to delete a software called popclip. Dont know if that was for Mac only. but im using windows pc. tried deleting it but no success with the warp stablizer. Someone's gotta have a solution to this.

I tried a lot and gave up finally then roll back to 2015 again

But I was  getting this error when I am trying to apply Warp in image sequence. For video I think there was no problem. Are you also getting this on image sequence as well?

If you find any solution of this error please post here.

Thanks.

Oh man! If you're having to revert to 2015 version then this is a serious problem. I'll keep trying tho and will update this thread If i make progress, or even if i dont.

Try cropping your larger JPEG sequence to an even number of pixels high and wide.

I would also crop them two and even multiple of a standard frame size.

Still I am facing the problem. I tried now Image of 3840x2560 and same error comes 'unable to acquire rendered frame".

I did not face this problem in old version of After effect. Now its coming in 2017 version.

Any other advice?

Quick fix idea: use the older version of AE.

Quick fix idea: use Photoshop or Lightroom to batch convert to TIF (or similar) instead of JPEG


I wanted to stay with latest AE 2017.

TIFF will consume very large space

Any other solution? Is this problem a bug of new AE 2017?

Thanks.
