After effects render failure

[michela5F8E]

Hi! I would really appreciate if somebody could help me because i've been trying to find a solution for hours, and yet no luck.

I made a project on after effects, and added effects and such to it. Once i completed the project, i went to export it as i usually would, which is by using adobe media encoder. A couple seconds after rendering, it gets stuck on this same part each time, and then fails to render. I've also tried to then render it on the after effects app itself, but it doesnt work either. I'll include my error log in a link so maybe someone could help me! thank you 🙂

Without any info about the contents of the project and your system this is not going anywhere. The simple truth is that if it always fails at the same point, then there's something specific going on at this timecode - perhaps an effect is kicking in, perhaps footage is damaged, perhaps hardware acceleration is simply failing. We simply can't know based on such sparse and generic info. Start by diagnosing your project and rendering it directly from AE to another format, reverting to software-only rendering modes, turning off caches and so on.

Hey thanks for your reply. I did attempt reverting to software-only rendering modes, and rendering directly from AE in a different format, and also clearing caches and such. My system's video card is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745. Could it be one of my 3D global settings in my system could be producing this error? If so, is there anywhere i could find the reccommended 3D global settings?

Try different rendering options in File - Project Settings

Thank you for your reply. I had already tried changing the rendering options in my project settings in both AE and AME, yet no luck.

So annoying 😓

I saw these four completely different solutions some people found... maybe they work maybe not  🤔 ....

- Uninstall and resinstall Quicktime ... then restart AE and Media Encoder ...

- Manually delete your cache folder files

- Increase your Windows Paging file to at least 55GB

- One guy said he solved it by changing his comp HDTV 1080 25 to HDV 1080

by the way what version are you using?

Which AE version are you using?

Have you tried rendering to a high-quality QuickTime CODEC from AE and then use the resultant QuickTime in AME, to render to H264?

And which effect(s), if any, are applied in the Timeline, at the times where the render fails?
