I've been trying to render a composition that is less than 30 seconds long but at the same spot I keep getting this message. How do I fix this?Screen Shot 2020-02-01 at 12.45.30 PM.png

Aside from Peru Bob's link, sift through the project whether any effects have crazy settings. effects running amok is the most likely cause for such errors, after all.

My macbook air has 8 GB of RAM installed. I went to that link and tried almost everything and it still fails at the same place.

Your computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements for After Effects:

You need at least 16 GB RAM.

...particularly for such a large video frame (9,600 X 5,400 px).  The length of the composition is irrelevant, but Ae needs enough memory to render each frame. Do you have effects applied to that layer as well? If so, which?

So if my computer apparently "doesn't meet the minimum requirements for After Effects", what can I do in order to fix my problem?

Unfortunately, with the laptop you have - a Macbook Air - I don't believe you can upgrade the RAM, as it's soldered onto the motherboard. So, rather than buying a new computer... please let us know:

 

Why do you need output this big - what are you doing with it?
Does your composition / layers have effects applied, and if so what are they?

 

If we have this information we *might* be able to offer some help in rendering out this composition with the computer resources you have. Otherwise you'll have to find someone who can render this for you on a machine with more RAM.

The composition itself is very simple- it is just an edit with zoom in's and out's. The only effects applied to the composition are MBL, twixtor, and sapphire plugins.

However I may be able to open after effects on another computer (a Mac) so is there a way to transfer the aep files to that computer?

You'd have to check with the authors of the plugins you're using to see if you could temporarily transfer / use them on another machine. It depends on their individual licencing arrangements.

One final thing I would suggest: Do you have to render at that size?  Could you render at 50% or 75% size and scale up the resulting video once output?

Are you rendering out through the Render Queue? Or Media Encoder?
