After effects error: zero denominator converting ratio denominators (17::18)

Hey,

Whenever I add the CC Force Motion Blur effect to my clip in After Effects I get a pop-up message that says

"After effects error: zero denominator converting ratio denominators (17::18)"

I click the OK button but the message instantly appears again making the program unusubale. I end up having the fully quit after effects to get rid of the message.

I'm currently running version 22.2 (windows 11) and my footage is from a linked comp in Premiere Pro. Some clips were shot at 25fps and others at 50fps, the error occurs for both.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!

Hi all,

This issue has been fixed in the latest release of After Effects (v 22.6).

After Effects 22.6 is now live!

Thank you for your patience on this.

Hi dear community, I need your help.

I am *desperately* trying to complete a project, but I am being slowed down by the following error which keeps popping up every 2 minutes.

And when I click OK, the same message reappears instantly and indefinitely, forcing me to "End task" through the Task Manager, otherwise I am completely stuck.

It's a nightmare... any help would be much appreciated.

It usually happens when I hit Preview, but not exclusively. It will happen no matter what, like a ticking time bomb.

Is there anyone who knows what it means and can help me fix this? I am a total newbie.

Thank you.

Hi default82272jkaod6r,

Thanks for writing in.

A corrupted file could cause this issue. Try disabling all the layers in your comp and enable them one by one while trying to reproduce the error to identify which layer is the culprit.

Let us know the outcome.

Thanks,

Nishu

I have this problem after updating on MacOS 12.3.1 Intel, AE 22.3. iMac Pro, Vega 56, 64Gb ram.

No video footage, only imported AI files, shapes and PNGs.

Not fixed in 22.4.

Hi all,

I am getting this error on two specific projects. After troubleshooting various solutions found in the forums, nothing works till now. Anybody has maybe another idea on how to solve this?

Thanks!

You need to be more specific and provide info about your system, the contents of the project, render settings and so on as well as what fixes you already have tried. There's a million potential reasons for this error and context matters a lot.

Hey, I have the exact same issue and I think the only solution is to go back to version 22.0 because everything works fine there. So it's just a bug of the version 22.2 and 22.1 and I hope Adobe will fix it with the next update.

Oh sorry, you have to go back to version 22.1.1 not 22.0

Hi,

I edited a video and had to import it into after effects to add some motion graphics and other elements. When I imported the premiere pro project (All sequences) and opened the composition the first half of my premiere pro project is not there in the timeline. Only the second half is there.. All the footages have been imported. I don't know why my timeline seems to have lost half of the edits I had arranged. I also got an error saying "After effects error: zero denominator converting ratio denominators".

Please help.

Thank you.

Without any idea about what you actualyl didin premiere we can't tell you much. That error could indicate a million things from issues with hardware acceleration to damaged footage causing decode errors to an effect or stuff liek time-remapping causing an implausible math thing. It would really help if you actually provided more details, including system info, sequence settings, details about the footage and so on along with a screenshot from Premiere.

Hi,

Thank you for your response... I only trimmed and placed the footages in the timeline as a sequence. i added some transition effect presets for some of the footages. That's all the work i did with premiere. And then I imported the project into after effects where the first half of my timeline is not in the sequence at all...

My timeline.

Sequence settings.

Some of the trainsition effects are from this.

I'm using audio WAV file in this AE file and the bitrate is 2304kbps. Does this file cause issue?

You may need to pre-compose the footage bits in question and apply the effect in the parent comp. Otherwise more info is requirted liek actual footage types, comp settings, hardware acceleration settings, caches, multiframe rendering and what have you.

Hi JAKE5E9E,

I tried to reproduce the issue at my end but it worked as expected. Please share the following details so that we troubleshoot the issue properly:

What are your system specifications (CPU, GPU, RAM, OS version)?
What's the exact version of After Effects and Premiere Pro you're using?
What are the rest of the details of the footage (frame size, format/codec)?

Let us know, we're here to help.

Thanks,

Nishu
