My AE comp renders as a full-length video of a black screen (with audio, when enabled). Comp plays fine in RAM preview, and I've tried all types of codecs and disabling RAM intensive effects, though I'm working on a quad-core i7 macbook pro with 8 gigs of RAM, so that shouldn't be a problem. Have followed tutorials to a T, and haven't found any help elsewhere online. Standard 1080p hd output. Please help!

Hello everyone, I had this same problem & noticed that the fps was 8. Video coming from one of those "online" conference services. Simply changed the fps to a higher number (in my case 24 fps) and solved. Cheers!

I had the same problem with only TEXT layers in my composition, I fixed it after I added a SOLID layer to the background.

What standard output? Lossless? Animation Codec? H.264 .... We need to know more about your render settings.

Thanks for the reply. I've tried the Lossless output module with Animation codec, MPEG-4 and some others. I've also tried the H.264 module and a few others, always with the same result. While rendering, the video won't even play in the composition window (I've heard that it does this, unless you have capslock enabled), it just turns into a black screen, and renders as such. Appreciate the help!

Do you have any 3rd party codec pacs installed. Try rendering a few frames as a jpg sequence or rendering just a single frame as a Photoshop file.
