Missing plug ins

[hadarg12620110]

Hello

I messed up something..trying to get fast render i installed and uninstall few programs.

I still cant render in quicktime  with h.264.

Anyway when i opened Ae it gave me a notification that some plug ins are missing. I didnt have the time to download or write what is missing . Then i uninstalled a program or driver and now when i open Ae it doesn't give me that notification. But it crashes all the time.

Help!

I need to get a 1.5 minute slideshow from a tamplate without having to wait 17 hours for render to end.

The media encoder also failed in the middle of rendering h.264 video only..

Would appreciate any help..

Uninstall and reinstall AE.

You can't render H.264 directly out of AE in the current version.

If you render to something like ProRes or Cineform out of AE's render queue, Adobe Media Encoder should be able to make an MP4 with H.264 encoding out of that. You do not want to do H.264 inside a mov file.

Ok thank you

I reinstalled Ae

Now i have a problem with the encoder

After few minutes it fails to render give me a notification that the operation was interrupted by user.

I didnt do anything while it was working..

I try to render a project with video only.

I exported only the video from the project..

Thanks

There can be plenty of reasons why that happens but what you could try would be:
a) render not with AMe but with AE - that way you will eliminate bunch of issues that can happen on AME/DynamicLink side
b) render to some good intermediate codec (QT/animation, prorees, cinefrom)
c) or if you are having issues with render - render to file sequence - that way even if your render fail - you don't loose already rendered frames (and you can just start another render wher it stopped), and you can diagnoe exactly on witch frame AE is crashing your render
d) knowing on what frame render crashed look for what happenes in your composition in that moment and diagnose what is going on

What can be the issue in that exact place?
- some conflicting plugin/effect
- some transition between video footage that makes AE go BOOM!
- maby a corrupted video file (that happens more often than you thing with files like mp4, mov or mpg2 etc.)

Also, slow down. Your deadline may be tight but in your description, there are 3 moments where you made the problem worse by working too fast. I get tight deadlines are rough but panicking will often not make things faster and often times they end with a trip to the Adobe Forums because something is broken, causing your project to come to a standstill.
